My ipod touch thinks headsets are plugged in as indicated when pressing volume control. We did a reset but that did not work. What is next?
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

Hello. I dropped my ipad, first gen, from my chair to the floor. The screen went black and I can't start it again. I have tried to hold both buttons down at the same time, but nothing happens. Any help?
You will probably have to contact Apple for repair but before you do try this:
Turn your iPad upside down on your lap and give it a hard smack on the back. -
My os x mavericks got crashed accidentely while installing the windows 8 and I am trying to reinstall using recovery console, but its take very long time and forcing me to download OS X mountain lion from internet, is there any where can I get offline download of OS file where I can install directely OS X Mavericks.
Hi, original poster here. I did not realize this would generate more discussion so I never checked back. I still had my warranty, so I took it to the store and got it repaired. The original problem I had was a screen with this icon flashing when I attempted to boot it up:
When I took it to the store, they told me that my computer was unable to communicate with the hard drive. I had this same problem three times in two months where this screen reappeared. Each time I went back to the store and they said the cause was different, but they were all hardware issues that physically made it impossible to communicate with the hard drive. After the third time, they simply replaced my laptop and I haven't had the same problem.
So in short: The reason you can't reinstall or move anything when you encounter this screen appears to be because nothing can communicate with the hard drive in the first place. You can't reach the disk or anything on it. So I don't believe it's possible to do anything besides take it to a physical store and have it fixed. -
Cannot open OPTIONS for photostream.
Is the stream actually working at the min? Are you just wanting to change the settings?
If it isn't working, you could try the following things:
Can you log out of the control panel? If so try logging out, restart the pc then log back in again.
If that doesnt help, uninstall icloud from the pc, restart, then reinstall.
If you still have no joy and really want the photostream to work you need to check your permissions. If you right click on the icloud icon in your start up menu you can open the file location. There you will find about 8 apple files such as 'applephotostreams'. right click on each and go to security, make sure you have full control of each file. I am not sure how much this has to do with it but I have seen other people suggest it on other threads.
If that still doesn't help you could try making a new user acount on your pc and setting up icloud on there. This worked for me (no idea why!). I just started using a new user account and left my old one for the kids to use but if you have all your stuff on your original one you could set the photo stream to download to a public file so you can view it from any user account. Or move the pics to a public file fter the have downloaded into the file icloud automatically makes for you.
Hope you sort it out! -
My daughter tried to play the My Horse game on her Ipod touch that she got for Christmas and when she opened the game it said something about sending "push notifications" and gave the choice of "don't allow" or "ok"...we chose "don't allow". After that the screen went white and now we cannot get the Ipod touch to respond to anything. I tried holding the sleep/wake button to try to restart it and it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions to get this device working again???
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If that doesn't work, try a Restore:
From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad.
There's more that you can do. Post back if none of the above solves the problem.
By the way, I always allow "push." That allows the app developer to "push" information to your device rather than waiting for you to ask for it. However, "don't allow" shouldn't cause the problem that you're experiencing. -
Help! The screen on my iPod Touch is stuck on white!
Well I was having problems with the volume control, and then the whole thing just crashed. It still strangely plays music, but the screen is white. What do I do?
Mine froze on a white screen today. Just before it did it, it went onto the Clock screen (Don 't know wy it was on clock, I may have just touched it bt accident, I had just gone back to the home screen from Calendar) a pop up appeared with a mini music display, there was a play button, forward/back buttons, track details, volume control and 2 buttons underneath, entitled 'CLOSE' and 'MUSIC', I can't remember which order I pressed the buttons, the first one did nothing, the second changed it from the Clock page to the Album listing page, but still with the same pop up screen on top .
Pressing the Home button didn't take me back to the home screen, it did nothing. It then went to a white screen and all I could do was sleep and wake it. I held down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons for a long time, the Silver Apple logo appeared and sat there for a couple of minutes, and then it was back to normal.
My wife's identical iPod did the same thing a couple of weeks ago, we didn't get it as far as doing this re-set (didn't hold the buttons long enough?) so to save time we docked it and re-set it via iTunes. This worked fine, and iTunes backed it all up before re-setting, then put it all back as it was, though this took longer than re-setting using Home and Sleep/Wake buttons.
Both iPods are 10 weeks old and on the 2.2 firmware. I may call support as they are still inside the 90 day period. -
The display Screen of my iPod touch is appearing complete White.
Hi All,
Few days before i have attach my iPod touch to my laptop throgh data/charging code provided by apple.
The dispaly screen is appearing complete white.
Some time in past i have a same screen problemI It appeared white or some horizantal or vertical lines are displayed.
But it will resolve immediately as i did shut down and shup up 2 to 3 times.
But this time is has a serious problem.It is appearing complete white.
Not a single word is appearing after start up and before shutting.
Though the screen is white but the sound system is working properly.
I have tested it with my imagination which icon will appear where and randomly pressed finger in any song.
And that song was played.
As per my understanding it may be a OS problem or may be screen problem or Virus problem.
Please suggest me some needful solution.You can get no virus using your ipod, unless you're running modified software on it.
Try to set it up "as new device" and see if the display comes back. If not, you'll have to get it serviced.

- 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.

My IPOD Touch initially had a white screen. I tried correcting this by restoring default settings via ITunes. The Restore Failed with error 1602 and now the IPOD touch is completely dead. It will not power on or respond when I plug it into my PC via USB. I get an error on my PC stating that device attached to USB port is not recognizable. Can anyone help?
Error 1602: Try the following steps to resolve this error:
Ensure proper USB isolation troubleshooting has been performed, and test with a known-good cable.
Follow the steps listed for Error 1604.
This error may be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

my iPod touch 5th generation had white screened an it won't let me rest it by holding down the home button an the power button for ten seconds I've pulled it in to iTunes an its not being detected what can i do as its starting to over heat?
If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.

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

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo.
