Please help! My screen has gone blank, and more problems!

Hi, I hope someone can help!
1) Yesterday, I was listening to my ipod and changing the songs, when it suddenly the songs began changing on shuffle every second mid-song!
2) Eventually it stopped, but then it really slowed down and would take about 5 seconds to react to me pressing the buttons or changing a song!
3) Then today, after I had finished using it whilst running, the screen went completely blank, but the music was still working fine. The screen is now still blank, unless I tip it vertically and then I can just about make out an extremely faded outline of the wrting and page format. Also there now appears to be a white smudge/mark on one side of the screen!
What is happening to my ipod and what can I do about these problems? I have had my ipod for only a couple of months!
I would be very grateful of anyone could help!
Thank you,

    Hi Ellen,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like your iPhone 4 has a dim or blank black screen but responds to some commands like enabling vibrate. I understand this may be a frustrating situation, but the troubleshooting suggestions in the article below will help you solve the issue.
    Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If your screen is too dim, too bright, or you see only faint images
    Try to adjust the brightness. If the screen doesn’t respond when you adjust the brightness, open several apps to make sure it’s not an issue with only one app.
    If you have a screen protector, try removing it. Try removing your case if it includes a screen protector.
    If you see the issue in multiple apps, restart your device.
    If restarting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
    If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
    Take care,
    -Jason

  • Safari screen has gone blank and seems to be hanged

    safari screen has gone blank and seems to be hanged

    Saji-
    Can you still access your Bookmarks at the top of the Safari screen?  If so, select it and choose History.  Then click Clear History at the top of the History window.
    If that does not help, double-click the Home button.  A row of recent Apps will line up along the bottom of the screen.  Scroll across and find Safari.  Press and hold on it until it starts to wiggle.  Then click on the red minus sign to remove it from the list.  Click the Home button to stop the wiggling and again to return to the Home screen.  Now see if Safari is working any better.
    If still no improvement, try resetting (rebooting) the iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Screen has gone blank and displays green - unresponsive to any buttons., Screen has gone blank and displays green - unresponsive to any buttons

    iPhone 3GS - after taking photo screen has gone green and now unresponsive to any actions or buttons. Cannot turn off and makes no difference if connected to charger. Any ideas on how to solve this?

    Thanks this seems to have solved the problem. We also plugged it into the computer at the same time. Cheers

  • My screen has gone blank and have now lost all my contacts

    My screen on my torch 9800 has gone blank. I then plugged the device into the computer to see whether there was any downloads that would help but was told that the phone had never been synced when it had. The result meaning I have lost my contacts, etc. Please help????!!!!!

    Hi and Welcome to the Community!
    First things first...your data...everything else is IMHO secondary.
    When you say you have synced your BB, how exactly have you done that in the past?
    True synchronization with, for example, Outlook? If so, then please check Outlook (or whatever other PC Organizer app you are using) to be sure you still have all of your data...and, to be safe, copy all of your contacts and calendar to a safe PST just in case.
    On the other hand, if by "synced", you mean backed up, then look on your PC for IPD files...those would be the files that store your data as of the date/time you took that backup...and they remain there, available for restore if needed.
    So, please clarify your situation concerning your data before we proceed with any device diagnostics...the data is much more important than the device, and I want to be sure your data is safe before we attempt anything with the device.
    Thanks and let us know!

  • HT1553 my laptop screen has gone blank, probably graphic card problem. i want to back it up. please help

    my laptop screen has gone blank probably due to graphic card problem.i need to back up my content as i have bought a new mac and do not intend on repairing the old one. please help

    Try a Target disk:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4413
    If you are buying a new mac, Apple will do the migration for you, I would let them do it.
    If you have an external monitor, I would try to do a data backup before doing anything.
    Could also be your drive has already failed, or logic card.  Again I would take it the  Apple store, and have them deal with it since you bought a new Mac, they would do this for free, and the shoulder the responsibility.
    Hoe this helps.

  • I have an iPad 2 screen has gone blank, I've reset via iTunes now screen is still blank but flashes white and you can see the hello, hallo in all different languages, but can't access anything???I

    I Have an iPad 2 the screen has gone blank, I have held both home and off button but nothing working the screens still blank. I have also reset my iPad via iTunes but now the screen is blank but it's flashes white and you can vaguely see hello, hallo in all different languages. Can anyone please help?

    The computer usb port will not charge it.  Plug it into an outlet with the charger that came with it for a few hours & try again.

  • My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!
    My iPod Touch is an iPod Touch 4th generation model with 8GB. It is running iOS 5.1.1.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • I dropped my iphone 3gs and the screen has gone blank now showing a white screen with no icons can anyone advise me how to fix it?

    I dropped my iphone 3gs and the screen has gone blank now showing a white screen with no icons can anyone advise me how to fix it?

    Tim is correct.
    But, first step with 3GS white screen and most iPhone problems is Reset, hold both home and power buttons until iPhone begins to restart itself, usually about 10 seconds of holding both buttons. If still white screen.
    Next step would be Restore the iPhone Firmware with iTunes on your computer. If still white screen.
    Next step would be to follow Tim's advice, if you had not already.

    FIRST charge with an Apple charger for at least 15 minutes. Then hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons at the same time until an Apple logo appears. Hold for up to 30 seconds. If nothing happens the phone hardware has failed.

  • My iPad2 screen has gone blank (black)

    My iPad2 screen has gone blank (black) then will flash red and maybe to the homescreen, then turns blank again. I have restored the ipad like it says online, but it is still doing it. Can somebody please help, or is it a write off? Thanks

    IF the reset and restore doesn't bring it back then I'm afraid it's time to make an appointment at the apple store. See what they say and then make the decision if your money is best spent on a same model replacement or to invest in a new one
