Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
If no joy... Try a Restore...

  • My iPad screen went all white when I was trying to close an app. I cant turn it off and iTune cant sync with it either.  Does anyone know what I should do to fix this.

    I have an iPad 2 that is about 2 years old and is in good shape. I was trying to swipe off an app when the screen went all white. I held down the power button to shut it down but it wont do any thing but go black. When I press the power button it come back all white with no icons and no passcode pad.

  • I am no longer able to turn off cellular data usage for individual apps.  When I turn most of them off, they just automatically reset themselves to allow data usage.  Any thoughts?

    I am definately having the same problem and cannot believe there are no answers or even support that this problem exists.  I never have to post on forumns, I read what is usually readilly availiable for the craziest of problems. 
    Anyways, the problem is just that, I can toggle off a individual app's setting of cellular data availability, but it changes right back on rescreening.  After restarting, resetting etc, it seems that the big Apple Apps are the biggest offenders.  Music is a very important one, Podcasts can kill you very quickly, app store, Photos, Facetime, Stocks?!?!?!
    When one searches for solutions I have to see hundreds of links to "How great is ios7, you can turn off cellular data for individual apps FOR DUMMIES!".  I am a dedicated apple fool since the Apple IIe (long time), but when they run afowl it is usually really bad.  Why offer an on/off switch if the setting is always on?
    I am writing just to add support to the existence of this problem, not so much for people to offer ideas of solutions as I now believe it is in the coding.
    Thank you

    Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar, tap & hold any icon until they all start to wiggle, tap the red minus sign & close every app listed, tap home button when finished. Then reset your phone:
    Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you see the Apple logo, then release.

  • Iphone 3G Screen just went all white- can not restore to home screen

    Has anyone had this issue? If so can someone give advice on what to do?
    The phone still works(I answered a call by luck) but the screen is all white and I can't get it to restore...I can't see anything on the screen so not sure what to do??
    Help!

    This just happened to a person in a chat room that I was in last night. Apparently, he read somewhere that if you slide your finger across where the "slide to unlock" slider should be (on the white screen), it can fix it. He did that, and it worked. Basically, you need to unlock it without being able to see the slider.
    My iPhone is the original model, but I imagine that the slider is in the same position on screen, about a half inch up from the bottom of the display.

  • Ipod went to white screen with a sad face...WHAT HAPPENED!!?

    I kept my ipod in good condition and out of nowhere it stopped working. Now it goes to a white screen with a picture of a ipod with a sad face and under the ipod it gives a link to the support page. It goes strait to that screen when i turn my ipod on...if anyone knows plzzz help me out.

    this is hard drive failure, you may need to replace the hard drive, but if you ipod is still under warranty then send it in if you want.
    if you fix it on your own, ifixipodsfast.com has some video tutorials on hard drive replacement, and hard drives on ebay are.... cheap (can be pricey depending on size and condition)

  • Mail & iChat gone all white & dead

    Something really strange just happened: The Mail Appl. window went all white, I just see the folders on the left, but all mails are invisible. I checked the option "show mailboxes" under View, but that one was activated. The folders ell me that mails are in fact arriving, it's just that I can't see them.
    To complete the fun, iChat stopped working as well.
    Thee must be something broken "under the hood" but I'm not much of a mac-hanic. Are you? Thanks !

    Normally, in the mail application window, the left column shows the folders, mailboxes etc. The major part of the window shows the mails themselves and that is what I don't see at all no more. It's all just white. No Mail to see. When I use my iBook all is fine. So it's not the account thats wrong.
    I guess the mistake is somewhere deeper hidden in the OS because iChat doesn't work either.
