My ipod screen has been white for almost 24 hours

even by trying the hold down the -sleep/home button all it does is go back to the white screen instead of the apple logo popping up. >:( i dont want to restore and have all my data taken off. including family photos, 500+ downloads of music, important messages and such

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
I think you will have to restore.

    Too many people are flooding Apple's servers, everyone is having this issue, try every so often, or wait until tomorrow.

  • I'm updating my os and the screen has been gray for over an hour, is this normal?

    I'm updating my os and the screen has been gray for over an hour, is this normal?
    I have a new Mac book pro and am updating to the latest version of OS update.

    Shouldn't. Which update. Provide specifics on how and from where. If this is a new machine, it should already be running 10.8.4, ainxw that shipped one and a half months ago.

  • After installing Yosemite my Imac just goes to a white screen and freezes, it has been there for almost 36 hours any ideas as to why it is taking so long?

    I have downloaded Yosemite from the App store and I attempted to upgrade from OS X 10.9.5. It is stuck on a white screen with a moveable mouse pointer but that is it. I can't get Command + L to work, so I can see any progress that is being made and I have tried to force boot it twice. Each time I force boot the machine I get a progress bar that goes about half way across and then just a blank white screen. I have read on some blogs that patience is the best procedure for this freeze but I have been waiting for almost 36 hours now and nothing is happening. One thing I want to mention is I have VMWare installed with a virtual machine of 300gigs, could this be the cause of the hangup? My 27inch IMAC is about 3 or 4 years old with a terabyte hard drive and 32gigs of ram. I have unplugged everything from the back except the network cable. Is about 36 hours reasonable for an upgrade? Is there a way to cut my losses and revert back to OS X 10.9.5?

    When you start your notebook press F8 to enter Advanced boot options.
    Is Repair my computer option available?
    If yes choose it and press ENTER. Follow the menu on the screen and when you will see System recovery options try to use System Restore option.
    Do you have some important data saved on your notebook?
    If not install OS again using HDD recovery option and after 2 hours you will have clean preinstalled OS and everything will be OK again.

  • Asset encoding has been showing for almost 12 hours now. How long should it take?

    How long should it take to burn a 27 minute movie. It states that it is encoding video with 1 minute left. Has been that way for 9 hours now.Any suggestions?

    Hi
    Encoding time depends on several things (mosty common are)
    • Free Space on Start-Up (Mac OS) get's low eg less than 5Gb - and encoding time get's stupidly long
    I never go under 25Gb free spae
    • What You feed iDVD. Some Codecs/Fileformats just get's encoded stright of - but others needs to be converted first (re-coded) by iDVD first - can also take eons of time.
    So Please tell where Your material came from and in what Codec/File format
    • What Mac was Used to encode. My Mac G3 600MHz - took about 30 hours per hour movie. My dG5 2GHz was close to 1:1 - My new MacBook Pro 2.2GHz i7 - Have not tried yet - May be even faster ?

    Blinking orange will NEVER turn green. You'll have to UN mount it to see green.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

  • I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    I recently connected my new ipad to my itunes, but now itunes will not recognise my ipod classic, and 50gig of music has gone. ipad connects ok but no longer ipod which has been there for two years! help!!!

    What happens when the iPod is plugged in?  anything?  any errors?
    Why is 50GB of music gone?  All music should exist on the computer.  Only a fool would rely on a single device which could easily be lost or stolen to store their content on.
