Screen Blank, won't reset

My Nano has a blank screen and won't reset. When plugged into the computer it makes a high pitched squeeling noise. I tried downloading iPOD updater, but once it was installed the computer wouldn't recognize that the iPOD was plugged in. Any suggestions?

Take a looka t Apple's 5 R's: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If that doesn't work, contact Apple and ask for a replacement.

  • IPod touch's screen remains blank, won't reset

    During updating my iPod touch software to 3.1.3 today iTunes reported error no. 6 and my iPod touch went off.
    I tried to start it or even reset it but it simply won't respond to anything.
    The batteries were well charged when I began updating it.
    Any ideas what to do now?

    hmm ...
    just found in another thread on another forum:
    +Hi, All,+

  • Photo Booth Screen Blank, Won't Take Pictures

    Every time I open Photo Booth, I get a blank screen with a little movie symbol and a line through it. It won't let me take pictures at all; all I can do is view the ones I've already taken. All I can find in the help section is that if your screen is blank, the digital video camera isn't hooked up. But I have no idea what that means; I've never had to install anything for it to work. I'm so confused.

    HI,
    Reinstall the PhotoBooth application from your Mac install disk.
    Insert your Mac install disk. Open the Optional Installs folder, then open Optional Installs.mpkg
    An Installer will start... click Continue. When you get to the Installation Type in the window on the right you will see: Applications. Click the Disclosure triangle so it faces down. Select the PhotoBooth app then click: Continue.
    After all software updates or installations, repair disk permissions.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • Screen pixelated & won't reset

    HELP! What Just happened to my iMac?!!! It was working fine last night. My son listened to an audio CD then put it to sleep when he was done and this is what we got this morning. I can see the curser moving around behind all of this but can't read anything. I can turn it off and restart and it does this first, then goes to a blue screen, then returns to this. I thought maybe something had overheated so I tried unplugging it for the day while I was at work but it didn't help. Thanks.

    You can attempt some basic resets however I still think it may be hardware. Try a SMC and PRAM reset (Intel iMac SMC and PRAM resets) and resetting in Safe Mode , if neither work then take it in for service.

  • IPod-video stuck on black/gray apple screen-won't reset

    My iPod won't reset. It displays the black/gray apple screen. When I hold down the select and menu buttons the screeen goes blank for a second and then the black/gray apple screen comes back. When I plug the iPod back into my computer it is not recognized by iTunes or the computer. All system software is up to date.

    Thank you for your help, although that didn't seem to do anything either. It just started working again today, yay!
    But after trying endlessly lots of things I finally gave up and just let it sit, it was on for awhile until the battery totally drained. I had forgotten about it and today I went to plug it in to charge the battery so I could try another round of possible solutions. I plugged in the usb cable, at first it went to the black screen with the logo. Then as I was about to walk away 10 seconds later I saw the screen light up then the menu appeared. I don't know what was wrong but it seems totally find now. So I don't know what I did or what happened but it seems to be working with no problems again.

    To restore your iPhone, connect it to iTunes and hold down the Power/Sleep button simultaneously with the Home button. Keep both buttons pressed down until your iPhone powers off. When your iPhone turns off, release the Power/Sleep button, but keep the Home button depressed until iTunes detects the iPhone (it should detect restore mode).
    Once iTunes detects your iPhone in restore mode, hit the “Restore” button to get your crashed out iPhone back to working order.

  • HT4848 My old Mac G5 displays "You need to restart your Mac" + gray screen. Won't boot from any disc, no safe start, did PRAM reset... nothing. HELP!

    My old iMac G5 won't restart no matter what I try. I get "You must restart your mac" plus grey screen. I've reset PRAM, tried safe start, tried booting from original iMac discs.. all no good. This happened when I was deleting files in preparation for trading in at Best Buy. Anybody know what's going on?

    If you are really running a an "old Mac G5", then you have posted in the wrong Forum.. You have posted in the "Intel iMac Forum" by mistake.

  • Dialog box display won't update after screen blank or being moved

    I have a modeless dialog box used for status display by a plugin I wrote for Acrobat. Everything works fine until the screen blanks or the user moves the dialog box on the screen, at which point no further updates to the dialog box are displayed. My plugin consumes 100% of CPU for long periods of time so the program can appear dead without this display being updated, but nothing I have tried seems to make any difference. The dialog box is generated with ADM and things I have tried include calling "Update" on the dialog box at regular intervals, the windows "Sleep" function to yield the CPU periodically, and a host of similar tactics.
    I'm guessing all the code will get run together once I click submit, but here is how I create the diaglog box (it was working fine without the "WinAppRegisterModelessDialog", but I saw a reference to it elsewhere and tried it to see if it would help, not sure if it actually serves any useful purpose):
    statWin = sADMDialog->Create(inPluginRef, DIALOG_ID, IDB_DIALOG1, kADMModalDialogStyle, NULL, NULL, 0);
    WinAppRegisterModelessDialog((HWND)sADMDialog->GetWindowRef(statWin));
    infoBox = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, 5, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
    // Status header
    coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
    coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
    statHeader = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
    // Status line
    coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
    coords.bottom = coords.top + 12;
    statLine = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMTextStaticType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
    // Progress bar
    coords.top = coords.bottom + 10;
    coords.bottom = coords.top + 15;
    progress = sADMDialog->CreateItem(statWin, kADMUniqueItemID, kADMProgressBarType, &coords, NULL, NULL, 0);
    sADMItem->SetMinIntValue(progress, 0);
    sADMItem->SetMaxIntValue(progress, totalPages);
    // Set window size, and other attributes
    sADMDialog->Size(statWin, coords.right + BORDER, coords.bottom + BORDER);
    sADMDialog->SetText(statWin, PROD_NAME " - Progress");
    // Set header for status line
    sADMItem->SetText(statHeader, " Page # % Complete Estimated Time remaining");
    // Initialize progress bar
    sADMItem->Update(progress);
    Updates are currently performed with the following code segment. The last two lines are my attempts to get the display to update once the screen blanks:
    // show it
    sADMItem->SetText(statLine, textBuf);
    // Update progress bar
    sADMItem->SetIntValue(progress, pagesCompleted);
    // Force display update/refresh
    sADMDialog->Update(statWin);
    // Yield for display update (in case of screen blank or user changes)
    Sleep((DWORD)100);
    Everything works fine until the window is moved or screen blanking occurs, after that nothing seems to work, all updates to the box cease to be displayed. Any suggestions?

    OK guys here's an update. First I went to BIOS and updated the initial display setting to "LCD panel only" from "Auto". At first I thought it helped, because when I worked at the laptop without the external screen attached, the internal LCD panel resumed normally from off (previously this didn't work).
    But today while I was in the office with my external 19" LCD screen attached, and both of them went off after being idle for 10 minutes, the internal LCD panel didn't resume again. So I've tried the Fn + F5 key combination to switch between modes, and I switched from dualview back to single. The internal LCD panel blinked for a second and then turned off immediately, and from that moment on, I was without picture on both of them. SO I ended up hibernating and resuming again. :( An important note - as soon as the computer began hibernating, the LCD went on and I could see the whole progress of hibernation before it turned off.
    Also another note - when I'm in dualview, I always have keep the internal LCD panel as the primary screen. So unfortunately, when it doesn't resume, I don't have access to the taskbar etc to try more things...
    Any more thoughts?
    Thanks again!

  • IPod has a blank screen and won't do anything?

    I took out my iPod 5th gen to check the time and it was fine. Then I took it out 5 minutes later and it had a black screen so i clicked the home button. Nothing happened. I've tried the power button, the home button, holding down the power button, and plugging it into a charger and nothing has helped. It's still on a black screen and won't respond to anything I do. What should I do?

    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 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.

  • When I touch the email icon there is a draft email stuck on the screen that won't go away if I delete or save it.  I've already tried deleting and resetting the email account which didn't work.  How do I get rid of it?

    I have the new iPad 3 and every time I touch the email icon there is a draft message stuck on the screen that won't disappear even if I touch save or delete.  I've tried removing the email account and putting it back on which didn't work either.  How do I get this draft to disappear?

    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Or Quit the mail app.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button.
    Go back to mail and see if it is fixed.

  • My MacBook Pro keeps coming up with the Reset Password Screen and won't let me access my computer!

    Hi Linda Loo Loo,
    If you have backed up previously to iTunes on a specific computer, even if it has been a while, you may be able to still backup even if you are unable enter the passcode on your iPhone due to a damaged screen. You may find the following article helpful:
    If you have previously synced your device with iTunes, you may be able to reset the passcode by restoring the device:
    Connect the device to the computer with which you normally sync and open iTunes.
    Note: If iTunes asks you to enter the passcode, try another computer that you have synced with. Otherwise, go to "If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer" section below.
    If the device is still disabled, or if iTunes does not automatically sync your device, sync the device with iTunes.
    When the backup and sync is complete, restore your device.
    When iOS Setup Assistant asks to set up your device, choose "Restore from iTunes backup".
    Select your device in iTunes and choose the most recent backup of your device.

  • Yoga 2 Pro - Screen Flickering and Screen Blanking

    Hi,
    I love the Yoga 2 Pro. But i have fews issues with it. Especially when used on battery.
    My screen flicker from time to time. The onyl fix i found was to close the lid to put the laptop to sleep and the reopen it. Not very convinient.
    An other issue I encounter is the screen blanking after a while when the computer is not in use. It's like the computer blank the screen to save battery power, but when you want to reuse it again, it won't start again. THe only fix is to hard reset the computer (eg : press 10s the power button)
    I am running a fresh clean install of Windows 8.1 Pro with all the Lenovo Drivers up to date (exept the BIOS one)
    If you could help me fix my issues. I think it's software related.
    Do you think i should put the BIOS update ? Does anybody ever try with a clean windows 8.1 install ?
    Thanks a lot,
    Romain

    I have the same issue, only it occurs at low brightness.
    It flickers rapidly for a few seconds and goes away. It occasionally comes back, making it unable to work in darker environments with the rapid flickers.
    I've checked all the auto-brightness and intel power saving options. I tried using both refresh rates, and they don't make a difference. The problem occurs in all power plans and even in the non-Lenovo energy manger modes. All drivers and BIOS are up to date.
    I'm at a complete loss as to why this is happening...I would greatly appreciate a solution. I sincerely hope I don't have a defective laptop..):
