My iPod touch froze and then slowly became a white screen

I just need some answers. Should I see if the battery will die? Or should I try
And use some elaborate combination of buttons to make it work again.
I don't know , but as long as it gets my iPod touch working again I'm fine
With it.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try 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 froze and then......

    I was trying to play a game and my iPod Touch froze up. After a minute it switched off and now I can't turn it back on. My battery life was at about 1/4 to 1/3 full. Any suggestions? Please tell me that all I need to do is plug it back up and get it back to a full charge.

    No telling for sure, but with battery level relatively low, it could be that you just need to recharge. Plug the Touch into the USB cable, and let iTunes do the rest. You might want to leave it attached to the cable until it's fully charged.
    Let us know if that helped.

    Can you help me?  I updated my ipod touch 3g to 5.1.1 and itunes to the latest version.  I then could not hear the sound with newly downloaded music albums.  I decided to restore, backup and sync which took 9 hours.  The ipod Touch froze and I could not unlock the slide bar nor turn it off.  The ipod is turned on and that is all.  What can I do?  Thanks for any help you can give me.

  • Screen on ipod touch freezes and then goes white.

    Screen on ipod touch freezes and then goes white. Ihave restarted it and restored it but it didn't work. Anyone know what is wrong with it and how it can be fixed?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • I tried to install yosemite yesterday and my computer goes through the whole installation process and then to a blank white screen.  I've rebooted, I've reinstalled several times and get the same result.  Two days wasted!

    I don't know if you've already resolved your problem, but I had the same thing, it took me 6 hours to fix it. I had the exact same as you, installed the update and then it went to a white screen. After trying start up holding down cmmd r or holding down the alt key to try to install it again, nothing worked, same result every time. Then an angel came to me here somewhere but I can't find it now to thank him. Start in safe mode, press shift once you hear the start up chime and hold it down until you hear it again. Installation completion box came up and it was working. turn off computer and start up again normally and all is well. Except my final cut pro x doesn't work with it, have to update that now too. same as when I updated to mavericks.
    Hope this helps.

  • Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?

    File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
    Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
    Good Luck.

    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • HT4623 iPod touch update.... Now white screen?

    I updated my sons iPod touch (4th Gen) a couple of days ago as per its request. It then asked me to plug into iTunes.
    When I plugged in, it said it needed to be restored from factory / back up.
    I tried this but iTunes kept coming up as needed to restore.
    After 32 minutes of the update attempting through iTunes, the iPod went back to the apple screen followed by a plain white screen, back to the apple screen. This is a constant between the 2 screens. You cannot switch off or do anything.
    Help please.... My 7 year old son is heart broken
    Thank you

    If that 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 reset, restore/recovery mode and DFU mode again..
