My Ipod Touch is showing a Blue Screen
I was in the middle of playing an app on my Ipod touch when it froze and went to a blue screen.
I have tried the resest tips listed in the community as well as trying to force the device into a DFU with no luck. I know some have said to let the battery die completely, charge and try again so that is being pursued. i live a considerable drive away from my nearest apple store so i'm looking to see if there is anything else i can try or should try before i make an appointment and make the trip to the Apple Store. This is a fairly new device and was about to upgraded to the IOS6 software today but was stopped due to the blue screen.
if there are any sucessful tip/pointers/suggestions before i have to take it in and order a repair that would be much appreciated!!!
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 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.

When I try to play a song on my iPod Touch, it shows the information screen for the song and then skips to a new song but then goes back to the main playlist page without ever playing a song! Help!
thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

I tried holding down both buttons and it will temp. turn off, then show the apple, then a narrow white line goes from left to right and then the blue screen stays on. I am not that familiar with dealing with electronic devices so please keep any instructions as simple as possible, thanks. T

Ipod Touch 4g turned to blue screen after IOS6 Update?
So my ipod said I could update to IOS6, but I had to plug it in first. I did and updated then set it out of the way to be on my laptop. When I checked on it all it showed was a bright blue, almost turqoise screen and won't respond to any buttons I press. It won't show up on my itunes anymore. I've tried plugging it in and then replugging it, but that hasn't changed anything. I don't know what else to do. I have a 8gb 4th generation ipod touch if that helps.
Not uncommon problem. 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.

New ipod touch is stuck on blue screen with aple logo
I plugged in my new apple ipod touch to my computer and on my itune screen a box popped up and said, "new update available for ipod touch" so i clicked accept and then it said that it was updating and everything and the screen of my ipod turned a blue/black color and had the Apple logo on it. Then a bar came up right underneath the Apple logo and it started to fill in, but it was filling in very slow. I thought that the update came up because i had just downloaded some things from the apps store to my itunes on my computer, so i thought it was putting it on my touch. It has been stuck on the blue/black screen with the Apple logo and completely filled bar for a long time and it has not changed once.
sound just like me ANYONE HAVE A GODFORSAKEN ANSWER TO THIS PROB?

My ipod touch is showing the connection screen but it's not connected to the computer. I restarted and did a factory restore and it still shows the connection screen. Any suggestions?
Did the iPod successfully complete the restore?
How did you restart the iPod since you have to connect the iPod to a computer before you can restart an iPod. -

My ipod shows a blue screen and then turns off and wont turn back on. What should I do?
I turned on my iPod touch today and it turned on as usual. I unlocked it and went to play a game. I got tired of the game after about 5 mins so I went to the home screen. I swiped to the previous screen and it showed a blue screen after about 3 seconds. I was sort of surprised as this hadn't ever happened before. It didn't turn itself off so I pressed and held the power and home buttons. It turned off after three seconds. I tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't turn back on. I remembered about what someone said about pressing and holding the power button and the home button. I did so and as expected it turned back on. I unlocked it and the same thing happened again. Blue screen! I turned it off and tried the same thing again. Yet this time when it got to the lock screen, I pressed and held the power button and slid to power off. I didn't want to try turning it on again so I asked this question. WHY DOES MY IPOD SHOW A BLUE SCREEN? (Over and over agin every time I turn it on?) Please help!

i have the ipod touch 4th generation and the screen is white, i was going to charge it and it turned white. I have tried to reset it but the apple logo will not show up and it will not turn on! i just got it for christmas... can you please help?
The way I did it was I got the free app sync:stream from the App Store and then added my ipod to my ps3's Bluetooth devices. Then went to audio settings and set output and input to 'Skaggs iPod' you then open the app and it will be listed under music as a media service. You then go to all tracks and click copy (press triangle) it will then begin to copy all of your songs onto your ps3 via Bluetooth. I haven't tried but I assume the same can be done with photos. I hope this was helpful reply if you have any questions :) good luck

my ipod touch is showing a usb pointing to the itunes logo on the screen and nothing else. It won't switch on beyond that. Please help!
Sounds like your iPod is in restore mode. Connect it to iTunes. iTunes will pop a little message up saying that your iPod is in restore mode and asking you if you want to restore it, click yes. Your iPod will restore to factory settings and you will be given the chance to restore from a backup. You can do this or set it up as a new iPod.
Here is Apple's page on restoring your iPod.

Hope that helps.
