My ipod touch 4th gen. is stuck on the white screen and my lock button is broken

My ipod touch is stuck on the 'white screen of death' and every website says to hold down the lock/wake button and the home button to fix it. But my lock button is jammed. How do I fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- 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.

My iPod touch (4th gen is stuck on the apple logo when you first turn it on?

So, my iPod has been acting weird since I updated to iOS 5.1.1 It gets fully carged and dies in three minutes. Well now it gets stuck on the apple logo at startup. It does the apple logo and shuts off and goes to the apple logo again. It does this repeatedly. Is there a way to fix this? I've tried resetting it multiple times, delete all the apps, all the music.

Hey Edgar, how exactly did you do the updates? Are you running iTunes 11.2.2? And you iPod 5 is still running iOS 6.1.2 as your tag shows? or are you running iOS 7.1.1? More info would be helpful. As Deggie asked, what was the error message, the more detailed the better. One more thing-- is this a Mac machine or a PC? Cheers.

My iPod Touch 4th gen is stuck on the screen with the iTunes logo and usb logo and it wont show up in itunes either. How do i fix it?

I forgot my passcode to my ipod so i went to restore it. When it said if i waned to restore and update that was my only option. So now i clicked that and my ipod will not leave this screen. No matter what i do. I even tried literally every step such as: the DFU mode, reinstalling itunes and the apple mobile device support, hard resetting my ipod and so many things, yet they all dont seem to help. What can i do to fix this ipod.

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without be charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

My IPod Touch (3rd Gen) is stuck on the apple screen...Ive done a restored once and it didnt fix it, what do i do?

Ok, so i know this is like other discussions but my Ipod Touch shows the Apple logo for 30 Secs, then it disappears and nothing shows, just a blank screen. Ive done a couple restores and it comes up with the same results.
Does anyone know how to permanently solve this problem.

If you have an Apple Store, near you, make an appointment to take it to them. If it's not a hardware failure, they may be able to help.
Regards.

My ipod touch 4th gen is stuck at the ipod logo for a long time, and i know about the recovery state process, but i can't do that because my power button doesn't work.

My ipod touch 4th gen is stuck on the apple logo

Ok i just got this on Christmas n been working fine...this is the first time the battery been so low and i threw it on the charger and its just turning on and off and staying at the apple logo screen dont no what to do......HELP ME PLEASE!

1. Plug your iPod into your computer.
2. Perform a hard reset by holding both the Home button and the Power/Sleep/Wake button until the screen goes black and shows the Apple logo. Release the buttons.
3. Wait for 15 minutes. It could take less time. Your iPod will make a sound and will show the battery logo.

My iPhone 4 is stuck in the update screen and my lock button is not working. How can I fix this?

I just tried to update my iPhone 4 to 7.1 and for some strange reason the phone wouldn't update then wanted me to restore it... (Figures!) But my lock button no longer works so holding the home button and the lock button is a option I have to rule out. I have no way to repair my phone myself. What can I do?

Hello Edward
Follow the prompts on your iPhone and you will get either at your home screen like normal or get to a point of restoring from back up. The article below will give step by step for restoring from back up.

Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.
