My ipod screen is white, and will not respond to any actions

My ipod touch screen is white, and will not respond to the home button or the sleep/wake button. The battery never drains all the way, and syncing on itunes doesn't help. I would prefer not to restore it, because i have a lot of information on it. PLEASE HELP!!

The battery has to drain eventually. Be patient. Letting it drain and charging it back up after it goes black should fix this.

  • Ipod screen is white and will not respond to buttons, nor will it reset. Help!

    Can someone please help me?  My ipod touch 4th Gen. just froze as I was trying to view information on a Free Music Ap.. Now the screen is white and the buttons do not work, nor will it let me reset it.  I connected it to my computer, hoping that Itunes or Apple would cause it to reset but it is still unreponsive.  I can't even force it to turn off.  Can someone please help?!  Thanks in advance!

    Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try:

    If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Hi Goofy Goat,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you have done some great troubleshooting for your iPod nano that is not responding. In this situation, if resetting it did not resolve, I would suggest restoring the iPod back to its factory settings and then sync your content back onto it from iTunes. Please use the following article as a resource for restoring.

  • Imac 27" Intel Core 7 CPU. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware scan and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back

    Imac 27" Intel Core7  CPU 16 Gig RAM. Screen goes black and will not respond except with a push of power button. Second monitor connected via displayport continues to display fine. Apply Store did full hardware diagnostic and all is fine. Did clean wipe from Mavrick back to Mountain Lion but problem remains. Apple Store can do no more.

    I did some more digging, it appears to be a backlight problem only. I can see the screen very dimly if I use a bright flashlight in a very dark room. It also seems to run ok if the brightness is turned down a LOT.
    So I'm thinking this is a LED driver board issue or the display itself. I'll open it up and check the connection between the two and see if I can get any more clues. At least I can use it somewhat now by dimming the display significantly...

    It simply stays on the same screen image, and does not respond to anything.  When I plug it into itunes, there is no indication of its presence.
    The ipad's clock has also stopped.

    Try a reset:
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • My nano blinks the apple logo when plugged into a charger and will not respond to any reset commands, anyone have experiance with this problem?

    My nano blinks the apple logo when plugged into a charger and will not respond to any reset commands, anyone have experiance with this problem?

    By a reset, I assume you meaning pressing and holding both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
    What happens if you try to manually place the iPod into Disk Mode?  If you can do that, I would recommend connecting the iPod to iTunes and restoring it.

  • My music screen has frozen and will not respond to my touch

    my 32g iPod touch will not respond to my touch while i am in my music library.  i can navigate through my iPod and access my apps, calendar, etc., but as soon as i try to get into my music and browse through it, nothing.  it has done this before, but it usually "snaps out of it", and eventually begins to work properly.  i purchased this iPod brand new in march 2012, so in my opinion it should not be acting up.  anyone have any idea as to what is going on with it? 

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • TS2634 ipod has horizonal lines, and will not respond, anyone please?

  • My iPod screen turned white and won't respond to anything I do.?

    I set it on the couch and picked it up and the screen turned white. I tried to reset it (holding the home and on/off button for 15 seconds) and that did nothing. So then I charged it for an hour and reset it again and that did nothing. What do I do? By the way I have  the 4th Generation 32GB iPod Touch. I don't know my IOS though, I know I updated it a couple months ago to and IOS 6 it had other numbers too but I forgot.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The screen on my ipad will not respond. Any suggestions?

    When I open the cover it says to slide to unlock. When I try to do this nothing happens.

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • When using safari, my screen will suddenly scroll all the way to the bottom and will not resound to any commands.  This affects all running programs.  How do I stop this?

    When I am on the internet, my screen will suddenly scroll all the way to the bottom and will not respond to any commands.  All of the other programs are then affected the same way and you cannot even use the commands at the top of the screen becayse they all scroll to the bottom.  After a while, the screen resets by itself.  Help.

    It sounds like a problem wih the backlight inverter. Usually they just go, instead of on and off.
    In a dark room hold a flashlight on the display when it blacks out. If you can see the items on the desktop, it's probably the backlight.

    My Screen is white and does not power down.  If I connect to the computer and open itunes I can see all the contents on the computer. But I am not sure what to do at this point.

    Take it to the Apple store because that thing is broken.
