My Ipod was white but now it's black

So, a week ago I dropped my Ipod and the screen turned white.I tried reseting it and restoring it but it still is white. I opened it up to check if anything was out of place and closed it.Now the screen is black. Can you guys help me?

A white screen means the video electronics cannot "talk" to the LCD display panel. A black screen means the back light (a really small and fragile flourescent light) is not working, or the iPod is not powering up.
What could have happened when you opened the iPod is you disconnected the touch screen or you may have damaged the flex print cable that connects the touch screen to the main board. This will keep the iPod from powering up.
The bottom line is, you're hosed, but you do have some options: You can buy a new iPod, or you can invest in a new LCD panel and mabye a touch screen and then see if you can fix what you broke... parts are available on line. eBay and Google are your friends....

HT1363 my ipod was frozen but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about that?

my ipod was frozen, but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about it?

See here: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
Note that the fatal red X is often a clear indication that your iPod's HD is shot and in need of replacement. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair either through Apple or a third party service.

My iPod was dead but now it's alive and kicking -- I'm confused

Friday morning, I was at the gym listening to my 4th generation iPod (which I have owned for about 14 months -- after warranty) when I heard a click and then my iPod froze. I got to my office and and saw the "unhappy ipod" on the screen. I went to the apple iPod support site and followed the "5 Rs". Nothing happened.
So I took the iPod to the Apple Store Saturday morning and one of the "geniuses" took a look at it. He tried resetting and putting it into disk mode. He told me the battery needed to be replaced and gave me a list of dealers although he recommended iPodResq.
I went to their website yesterday morning (my iPod was still dead to the world) and ordered the battery replacement service ($89.00). Today I received the overnight shipping box in which to send my iPod for repair.
So, I reach for my iPod (which has been in my bag for over 24 hours since I was unable to use it). Well, I pull it out of the bag and the thing IS ALIVE AND KICKING. Works fine, like there was nothing ever wrong with it. All my music was still there along with some audio books. What the???
Now I've got the shipping box (along with $89.00 that I've already paid). I can get a refund from the company but parrt of me is thinking "What if this is a fluke and the things goes dead again tomorrow?"
Has this ever happened to anyone before?

Yes, it did happen to me too. Very likely that the head of the HD of your iPod got stuck that night, which caused the Sad iPod icon.
My suggestion is to do the following now (which will erase all your data on your iPod)
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iPod Updater and click “Restore”
Let it run for over weekend, if it appears the Sad iPod icon again, then send it for repairing.

The volume on my iPod was fine, but now it's too loud and I don't know how to turn it down.

The volume on my iPod was just fine, but somehow it got turned up too loud, and I don't know how to turn it down.

Hi Virginia1945,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Depending on which iPod nano model you have, you can adjust the volume with the button on the side, the top, or using the click wheel. You may also be able to set a maximum volume, so it doesn't get turned up too loud in the future.
You can find the user guides for your iPod nano at this link:

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
The try
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I was not but now i am having trouble opening the cloud on my pc

i was not but now i am having trouble openig the cloud on my pc

If this happen recently, then Reset the iPod by
Pressing Menu and Center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple Logo comes ON then release the buttons.
Select your language.
Check the sound.
Good luck!

Mail doesn't send e-mail. Before yesterday everything was ok, but now it says that a copy of the message has been sent to "Sending messages" because the contents of the message cannot be send to server. What to do? IMAP should be ok.

Did you go on-line and fix your billing information? You probably need to do this from iTunes on your computer, not your phone.
If you've double checked your credit card info and it still won't take it, contact your card issuer.

I just tried to update my iPhone 4 and it said it was successful, but now I have a message (USB icon - arrow- iTunes icon) that is frozen? I have turned off the phone, unplugged USB and reconnected and closed out of iTunes and back in. Any suggestions?

HT2216 I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. Any clues?

I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly. That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse. I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store. Any help gratefully received?

Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
If 10.7.0 or later...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

I have elements 9 and just a day ago everything was fine but now all of a sudden any time I try to convert or save my project or even burn it to a DVD the program shuts down on me.

Is the crash/shutdown for this one specific project or does it occur in new projects as well?
On what computer operating system are you running Premiere Elements 9 and are you running Premiere Elements as the 9.0.1 Update?
In cases such as these, the first factor to rule in or out are the preferences/setting file. Here you want to delete the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file.
The directions to its location will vary with the operating system. So the operating system information is important to post. Some of the many factors
that we need to evaluate
a. does the problem exist with and without antivirus and firewall(s) disabled.
b. are you using a pen and tablet device instead of a mouse.
c. does your computer need a clean up/clear out - is your computer optimized
Your answers to the questions above will help us to customize and plan appropriate troubleshooting strategy. So, let us start with the above and then decide what next.
Thank you.

My computer died and my ipod was stolen. Now I have an iphone 4 and want to access my library. How do I get it?

My computer died and my ipod was stolen. Now I have an iphone 4 and want to get to my library. Any ideas?

It will only be where you put it.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion..
Use your backup copy to put everything back.
If for some reason you have failed to backup ( not good), then you can redownload some purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
