Screen illuminates but no image/menus; iPod won't power off or restore

iPod hard drive whirrs and screen illuminates, but no image (text or other) appears. iPod won't power off. iPod is recognized by iTunes only when in disk mode. Multiple restores were useless in restoring the screen function. Tools such as Disk Utility and Disk Warrior verified the directories were satisfactory. Can't locate a hardware diagnostic tool that can diagnose an iPod; and because the screen is malfunctioning, I can't run the iPod's built-in diagnostic routines.
Any solutions, or is this iPod destined for the repair shop?

If your iPod will not power off, unplug it from any power supply and wait for it to run the battery down completely. Then it will power off simply because there is not enough power to keep it running. (It may take 24 hours to do this.) Once this has happened, plug the iPod back into your computer. After about 30 minutes, you should see the "Please wait, very low battery" message. After a while longer, the iPod will have enough power and should reset itself. If not, re-post, but see below.
At the bottom of your post you state that you have a 30GB video iPod. In that case, if you need to re-post, it would be better in the 5th generation iPod forum, (either 5th generation or 5th gen late - see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 for more information) as there will be posts from owners of the same model as you have, and with the same problems.

Let the battery fully darain. After charging for an least an hour try a reset and restore. Use Recovery mode if necessary.
If not successful, then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod won't turn OFF, this is the third time its happened.

For the third time, my iPod won't shut off. The last time this happened, I loaded the latest firmware. It has been ok for about three months.
Now it won't shut off again. It appears to be a software issue.
Has anyone else had this happen?

yeah same with me, and its 2 days old too. i didn't get a chance to try resetting it, though, it just worked after a while.
bloody annoying though, it shouldn't be breaking already
i'm really happy i got the chance to say bloody annoying though, i hope it's appreciated

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas?

While doing a non-iTunes upgrade to 8.02 my iPad froze on the apple screen. After hours of waiting I forced a power off. Froze in same place. Tried attaching to iTunes on PC from power off. Freezing in same place. Any ideas on how to get past this so that I can at least run a restore?

I Don't know that recovery mode would work, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
IF that fails, have you considered erasing the device using Find my iPhone in iCloud.com? I'm not sure what good that would do either of the iPad continues to freeze, but if nothing else is working .....

First, update iTunes, then connect the phone to the computer and do a restore. This will also get your iOS up to date. Your phone should operate correctly after doing this, if not, you will most likely need to have the phone serviced or replaced.

Tecra Won't Power Off

Problem, Shut downj gets as far as Windows is shutting down, period. Have to remove battery to shut down! Have used system restore t9o njo avail. Help!

You can press and hold the power button for ten seconds to force it to turn off.
When it won't power off it is usually a software issue. If system restore didn't work, you could try the full factory restore from the recovery discs.
If you don't want to do that, try safe mode and make sure that it shuts down from then use msconfig to remove start up items to see what is causing it.

Ipod won't power on or sync. Is fully charged. Shows Apple image only.

Ipod is charged but won't power on or sync. Only shows the apple image for about a minute and then gone. When connect to computer it doesn't show in iPhoto or iTunes.

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.

Changing portal screen works but no image displayed on other applications

Hello Experts,
We have changed the portal logon screen as mentioned in help.sap.com
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
1. Make another copy of com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak and modified the new PAR file.
2. Copied back the modified file to <J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd.
3. Modified authschemes.xml file with new PAR file name and edited authschemes.xml file through Config Tool and "login.authschemes.definition.file" is pointing to new authscehemes.xml file.
4. Also changed the parameter in Config Tool "ume.logon.branding_image" to point to new image file name.
Everything worked fine and we are able to see the changes in Portal logon screen.
But there is no image displayed on other applications like User Management, WebDynpro. Does these application uses any other PAR file.
Please suggest what needs to be done so that same images are being displayed on all Java pplication - portal, user management, web dynpro,etc.
Thanks
Davinder

Only portal logon screen as contrlled by the PAR file. This is a portal specific tool and does not apply to other Java apps. Changing those other apps is not officially supported, but some people will replace the branding images etc. Just search under \usr\sap\<SID> for the brandingimage files and replace them as necessary.

My 6th generation nano apears to have locked up. The screen is on, but Ipod does nothing. The Ipod will not turn off, and a buzzing noise is heard through the headphones. What can I do??

Hello houseman06
Check out the troubleshooting steps in the article below to get your iPad nano back up and running. Also check to make sure that the lock button is not on preventing it from being un responsive.

TS1425 my ipod won't turn off. I can still play/pause, but cannot turn it off

My ipod will not turn off. It still responds to the play/pause, but will not turn off

There is no way to actually turn the iPod off. Holding the Play/Pause button actually just puts the iPod to sleep. And after so many hours from that point, it goes into a deeper sleep thus conserving battery life.

IPod won't turn off when plugged into computer! PLZ HLP!

I have an iPod touch 2g, and now whenever I connect it to iTunes, it won't turn off. It will just turn itself back on.

If you are unable to give specifics about the problem or what you need to do, it's going to be rather hard to give you recommendations or alternate suggestions.
As I said, if I recall correctly, the iPod will stay on if it's being charged. But, in case I'm misremembering, are you holding down the button until you see the red arrow that says "Slide to power off"? Have you tried restoring it?

My ipod won't turn off what do i do?

Charged indicator seems to be stuck, ipod won't turn off!!! help

I took my ipod running last week and it got a little damp in my trousers!!
Since then it will not turn off anymore. I have let the battery die down. I have reset it on the ipod and on itunes, but nothing seems to help.
It just won't turn off, the charged sign (large battery with a plug in it) shows all the time.
If I leave if as it is over night, the battery is then dead.
Can anybody help me.
It's an ipod nano 1gen. not even 6 months old.

If it got wet, set it in a cool, dry place and leave it there for at least a week. Then connect it to power (preferably a wall charger) and let it charge for at least 30 minutes, then Reset it (hold down the menu and center buttons for at least 6 seconds). If it comes to life, connect it to your computer, Restore it in itunes, then let it fully charge.
