My ipod touch 8gb has a blank white screen what do i do

hello i need help with my ipod touch 8gb 3rd geniration i dont no how to spell gen. because the screen turned white when i did nothing i tried pushing the awake/sleep button with the home menu buttton it did not work eny ideas

Please don't use the over-sized bolded font. It's annoying and, honestly, offensive.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

- 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.
- 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 has a blank white screen what do i do

i have no idea what to do please help

Try the white-screen topic here:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
If still a problem then let the battery fully drain and then then charge for an hour and try again. Frequently a white screen is due to a hardware problem and service is required.

NOTHING i do to this Ipod touch is making the BLANK WHITE SCREEN go away......

Please help! I now hook my ipod touch up to my P.C, and it is NOT RECOGNISING my ipod!! Heres the problem AGAIN, let me make myself a little more clear on WHAT a stupid thing i did earlier..... I receieved a message (ON MY IPOD) saying a new version of I.O.S 6 is available, so it says I needed at least 50% charged, OR had to be plugged in, so I PLUGGED in, and hit the button to update to newest version, then did what I had to do, came BACK to the iPod at 30 min later, and the bar seemed to not be moving, and i had to go to work, so i FORCED A SHUT DOWN by holding the home and the top button together, as i normally would to shut the thing down if something was jammed or whatever....so I did that, and it came back on BY ITSELF with the apple sign, then 5minutes later, the blank screen came up, and NOW every single time I TRY shutting it down, it WON'T STAY OFF, it comes right back on to the apple sign, then back to blank screen every time, can't get it to stay off! And now when I hook to my PC, it's not recognizing the iPod, I don't know how to recover it, cuz the iPod WON'T STAY OFF for me to do it!! And another thing, i let the ipod die completely, then plugged it in to charge, then it came back on as usual by itself, and still done the same thing!! All because i stopped an update in the middle of it updating!! It seems as if i wiped it completely out! But theres gotta be a way to restore??? need to speak with someone on the phone, cuz I don't have the money to spend right now on an apple support person!

Please please READ what I have written before u respond,PLEASE!!because I MANUALLY STOPPED THE UPDATE TO IOS 6 WHILE IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF UPDATING (by forcing shutdown in the middle of it all..) and when it turned back on it went right to the white blank screen and has been that way EVER SINCE!! i cannot put in recovery mode, cuz every single time I SHUT my ipod down (by holding the power, and home button at the same time till it shuts down...) it DOES NOT show me the slide bar to power off, and it immediately shuts down (goes black..) then immediately STARTS BACK UP BY ITSELF and shows the APPLE LOGO for about 5 minutes, then goes RIGHT BACK TO THE WHITE, BLANK SCREEN!!!! It will NOT STAY OFF, it WILL NOT SHOW ME THE SLIDE BAR TO POWER OFF MANUALLY, and when I force shutdown, it immediately comes BACK ON BY ITSELF!! And then nothing but white screen! My PC COMPUTER will NOT recognize the iPod as being plugged into USB on my computer for me to RECOVER this IPod, so I do not know what else to do??? I have updated to the latest version of iTunes, and STILL NOTHING!!! This is my kids iPod that I screwed up here, and I am very upset! It's a 4th gen, 32gb iPod touch that is NOT CHEAP at all, and I am freaking out man!!! What do I do?

My Ipod touch only has a blue/white screen.

My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen 64gb was working perfectly til yesterday when the screen is now just blue/white. It still will darken when i press the lock button. I've tried reseting and restoring and this does nothing, screen remains the same. It makes all the right noises, when I connect it to my Macbook it makes the normal noise and is connected no problem. But all I can see is Blue and white pixels. Does the LCD component need replacing?

If yo still have a problem after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem. It could be the screen or it could be the electronics driving he screen. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod 6th Generation has a blank white screen and is apparently corrupted

I have tried restoring, and just don't know what else to do, pleeaase help!
Also, what happened to cause this? Is it the iPod? Or computer? (Macbook Pro)

Have you tried a reset or restore of the device in iTunes to see if that helps? To reset the device, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, connect the iPod to your iTunes library and click the Restore button from under the iPod's Summary tab.
If the issue still persists, it's likely hardware related. A white screen could be the result of a loose LCD ribbon cable, or a damaged LCD screen. Either way you'll need to have the iPod serviced in order to gain fully functionality of it again.

My Ipod touch 4thGen has a blank/black screen. any ideas?

It is Charging, and makes the unlock noise when i slide to unlock. i'v done a restore on itunes, which failed to solve the problem. before i restored i knew where the music app was and music still played and camera makes the shutter noise when i take a print screen.

Probably, your iPod is with a backlight issue, if the restore didn't resolved, then you should make an appointment at a Genius Bar

IPod Touch, 8gb size, mostly broken(cracked screen & have to use in a dock). Can I get cash out of it somehow?

I have an iPod Touch, 8gb in size. The screen is broken and it mostly has to be plugged into a dock to work.
My question is does anyone know of a trade-in program, or, some way I can sell this iPod? Is there a trade-in program, or something I can utilize to get some cash back or some credit out if this iPod? Or, should I call it a day and just trash it at this point - and admit all is lost?!
Your knowledge and input is appreciated, thanks!

Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one.
