Nano's frozen, blank screen comes on

My ipod nano wants to turn on but doesn't, the screen will light up and be blank. I tried holding the middle button and menu = nothing. I can see everything when it's connected to the computer. Anyone know any secrets to this problemo?

I now found out my son dropped the nano into a puddle, so it got wet. Tried to let it dry for about 2 weekes now and the ipod itself actually works, you just have to guess where the songs are as the screen lights up but is still blank, no anything but a blank screen. Any ideas on this type of situation?

  • TS1906 Ical frozen - blank screen, no data and unresponsive buttons

    After installing the last update, Ical is frozen - its shows no calender data, and the buttons for day/week/month don't work. I restored the calender data from my last time machine backup, after which it worked for the first time I opened ical. The next time I opened it, I was back to square one - no data, and unresponsive buttons (also not able to change the view over the top bar menu) and then I even got a blank screen (where the calender data should be).
    Luckily my data still shows on my iphone and on my google calender. Its only on my Mac (version IOS 10.6.8) that Ical (version 4.0.4 (1395.7)) isn't working. I believe this is a bug of the actual Ical software, rather than my data.
    Anyone have similar experiences, or an idea of how to fix this? Thanks.

    I had the same problem with my Radeon Mobility U1.
    The solution is to downgrade the xf86-video-ati driver to the version 6.7.195-3 and it should work flawlessly.
    Make sure pacman and/or yaourt don't upgrade this driver inadvertently to this latest, buggy version, until a fix is released.

  • Frozen blank screen

    My iPod Video is frozen with a blank screen with the backlight on. It's been like this for a week. any ideas on what i should do other than going to the apple store?

    See this.
    How to reset the iPod if it appears to be frozen.
    It may take quite a few attempts and is best done connected to power.
    If this doesn't work, try restoring the iPod to factory settings.
    Put the iPod into disk mode first.

  • My ipod nano has a blank screen

    my ipod nano has blank screen and will not show anything. I`ve tried to restore it but when i plug it into my computer it says that i didn`t plug it in. I`ve tried to call apple and ask what was going on, but every time i call it either get`s me a machine or it`ll keep ringing and ringing. I`ve tried to write, but no one has wrote me back. I had my ipod nano since November 17, 2005 and I still haven`t used it, can anyone help? I also tried to take it to electronic stores, but their services to help cost more than what I paid for my ipod, Please help!!
    Thank u

    You could try the 5r's, and disk mode.
    Or you could call Apple 1-800-275-2273, I think there hours are 9-9 EST Mon_fri.
    If you've had it a year I would call them and tell them it's not working and get the Apple Care.

  • Ipod nano 3rd generation , blank screen when attached to computer, ipod will not reset??? any help please?

    Hi there,
    I have just purchased a 2nd hand ipod nano 3rd gen.  When I received it the screen was in working order but everything from the previous owner had been wiped.  I attatched to computer and all seemed well, attached it then to itunes and at first it seemed to go ok, however screen then went blank and froze.
    I am now unable to restart ipod.  ipos is still being recognised by itunes so I tried to restart ipod whielst attatched to itunes to to try and put into play mode but still no joy, no apple appearing on screen.
    Ipod was fully charged.
    Any ideas please as I am not the most technical of people and its slowly driving me mad
    Kind Regards
    Lindsey

    How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

  • MY IPOD NANO has a blank screen and wont turn on!! HELP

    My ipod screen is blank and it seems to be frozen that way! I've tried charging it overnight. Yet, in the morning... no results. I cant reset the ipod because it can't be turned on. I've checked the hold button and that's also good to go. Help!?!?

  • TS2621 When I try to access my mail I just get frozen blank screen. Also on settings the screen freezes when I press the mail calendar  icon.

    I cannot access my mail. When I try I just get a blank divided screen which is frozen. Also in settings when  I press the mail calendar icon nothing happens except the settings screen freezes. Not very computer literate.

    Close the Mail app in the Task Bar and re-launch.
    Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar. Hold Mail app down for a second or two; tap the minus sign to close app.
    If it still doesn't work, try a reset.
    Hold the Sleep and Home button down (together) for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • My Nano has a blank screen!

  • When I click on safari button a blank safari screen comes up for one second then minimizes. can't use safari?

    When I click on the safari button  a blank screen comes up for about one second, then minimizes. I have checked wi-fi connection, and all is fine. Facebook and maps apps still work.

    Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
    If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • HT1338 MacBook Pro 13.3: Desktop screen will not come up when turned on.  Screen is blank except for an icon of a folder with a question mark on it, in the middle of an otherwise blank screen, laptop making a clicking noise.

    My MacBook Pro 13.3 MAC OS  X v10.7 laptop will not come up.  Blank screen comes up, no color/desktop, etc., only an icon of a folder in the middle of the screen with a question mark on the folder.  Laptop making a clicking noise. Suggestions? Thanks!

    It's under warranty. Take it in to have Apple fix it.
    The "flashing ?" means the machine can't find the start up disk. The clicking noise is a give away that the drive is damaged.

  • HT1366 My MacBook OS X version 10.6.8 is not going to sleep, keeps loading, then when turned on a blank screen appears, I shut it and the main menu comes up and then it takes awhile for the cursor to operate. Thanks

    My MacBook wouldn't go to sleep, it keeps loading, so I have to turn it off. When I turn it on a blank screen comes on, I shut the lid and open it and the main menu screen comes up but the cursor won't work for awhile. Then, eventually, the cursor will work and everything is fine. Hmmm?

    My Nano is frozen, the screen is blank with an hour glass thingy in the middle.
    When I plug into computer, it tells me it has recognised new hardware etc., then computer doesnt recognise the ipod .... the screen is still on the hour glass thingy

  • Music is synchronized to nano, but nano has no visible screen displayed. any thoughts on that one?

    Music is synched, but absolutely no display comes up on nano.  complete blank screen, light is illuminated, but no visible display whatsoever

    but the iPod shuffle doesn't show up in the drives section so I can't change it to begin with.
    Per the article above, you don't start with changing the drive letter of your iPod. You start by changing the drive letter of your networked volume (usually, an external drive).
    "Resolution
    Solution
    This issue is documented in Microsoft Knowledge Base document 297694, "New Drive or Mapped Network Drive Not Available in Windows Explorer".
    Changing the drive letter of your network volume should resolve the issue. If you are unable to change the drive letter of the network volume because your programs depend on a specific drive letter, then you can use the following steps to change the drive letter of your iPod instead.
    Important: Changing the iPod drive letter may not affect what letter the iPod uses on subsequent connections, so it is not the best long-term solution. If you are unable to change the drive letter of your mapped network drives, contact your system administrator."
