Ipod nano 7th: Screen flashes white (turns off) and stops the music.

I just got a brand new Ipod nano 7th: Less than 10 seconds after the song starts playing the screen flashes white, the apple logo shows up and it returns to 'home' screen. Battery is full. Tried to restart but that didnt help!
What could be the problem?

Hi joannefromhkg,
If your iPod nano (7th generation) will not turn on at all I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
iPod nano (7th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
Specifically -
Follow these steps if your iPod a power-related issue.
Will not turn on or screen remains dark
Connect iPod to power for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has enough charge to allow iPod to turn on.
If iPod does not turn on after ten minutes, try resetting it while it is still connected to power. Reset the iPod by holding down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least six seconds or until you see the Apple logo appear.
If the Apple logo appears on the display, connect iPod to a computer and verify that it appears in iTunes and can play music. If iPod appears in iTunes and can play music, no further troubleshooting is needed.
If the screen remains dark and will not turn on, then your iPod may need service.
And -
Issue not resolved
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

Apple Screen Hang and Turn off

Hi Everyone!
Big probs here. Earlier this evening, I was using the ol' Mac (surfing, chatting etc.. nothing heavy).. started hanging and acting sluggish.. so I gave it a restart...
Now it hangs on the Apple Screen, spinning, for about 20 seconds.. and then turns off!!!!
I've tried the PRAM, X key force, Target Mode to an old G3 (which i'm posting with now), Safe mode etc. I should have a Windows partition as well.. which it won't find..
Nothing has changed in my system, except for the x.x.2 update and the graphics and aluminum keyboard updates... all over the weekend. I'm seeing alot of similar posts.. but few solutions..

UPDATE>>>
for what its worth.. I took my machine to the local Apple Store. Failed HD is the answer. All data lost. I'm reading that this happening to a lot of people.
The worst is they told me that it would be 7-10 days unless i bought ProCare for 100$.. then it would ready same day. I need my machine.. so I paid.. They call me 8 hours later to tell me that the HD is not in stock.. and it will take... 7-10 days!!! I'm starting to feel a bit like a sucker. If I didn't need my Mac for my very livelyhood.. I'm not sure where I would be right now!
Thanks for reading if not posting!

My macbook does not start, gray screen, apple and turning gear appears

my macbook froze. then shut down the computer to clear the freeze condition. when trying to restart, the computer starts to boot,the apple appears on the screen, the gear rotates, however the computer does not continue to boot. can anyone help?

That would normally indicate a problem with the Hard Drive.
Do you have an Instal Disc to try to boot from? Hold the Mouse button down when powering up & eject if there's a Disc in it now.
The fans going strong is a safety feature when no OS is loaded.
Does it boot into any of these modes?
Holding Option/alt key at bootup.
Holding SHIFT key at bootup.
Target mode...
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Does it boot to Single User Mode, CMD+s keys at bootup, if so try...
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat until it shows no errors fixed.
(Space between fsck AND -fy important).
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck...

We might get clues with verbose mode...

Iphone 3gs freezing/screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Any ideas what to do please?

can you help please? Phone having funny fit, screen flashing between password screen and turning off timer. Then screens merging.. Yuk!

Hey kathlovesparis,
First, I would reset the device:
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
via: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
And if that doesn't resolve the issue then I would backup the device to iTunes and restore it. Just be cautious and back up first, since restoring deletes all content and settings:

PSE 7 Welcome Screen startup options and turning off the advertising

The PSE 7 Welcome Screen no longer provides a start-up option for bypassing it and going directly to the Organizer or Editor. In addition, many people are annoyed by the advertising for Photoshop.com on the Welcome Screen and by the constant flashing tips in the lower right corner of the Organizer and Editor.
Here are some workarounds:
Create shortcuts directly to the Organizer and Editor. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to
> C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 7.0
Find the file PhotoshopelementsEditor.exe, right-click it, and select Create Shortcut. You can then drag the shortcut to your desktop or the Start Menu. Alternatively, you can right click photoshopelementseditor.exe and click Pin To Start Menu, which will place a shortcut on the Windows Start menu. Do the same thing for the file PhotoshopElementsOrganizer.exe.
Turn off the advertising on the Welcome Screen. By turning off the advertising, you can still use the Welcome Screen to get to the Organizer, the Editor, Photoshop.com, and the tutorials. Use Windows Explorer to set the permissions of
>C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\Welcome Screen Pods
to deny Read & execute for Everyone (The path is a little different on XP.)
Turn off the flashing tips on the lower right corner of the Organizer and Editor. Use Windows Explorer to set the permissions of
>C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\Messaging Pods
to deny Read & execute for Everyone. (The path is a little different on XP.)

You said -----------
Turn off the flashing tips on the lower right corner of the Organizer and Editor. Use Windows Explorer to set the permissions of
C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\Messaging Pods to deny Read & execute for Everyone. (The path is a little different on XP.)
I am using XP and the path to the folder is as follows:
C:\Document and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\7.0\Locale\en_US\Messaging Pods
However, I can't figure out how to "set the permissions". Is this possible in XP? Could someone please elaborate.
I am only interested in changing the tips (in the lower right corner that lead you to photoshop.com) in the Editor, since I do not use the Welcome Screen or Organizer.
Thanks,
Ken

IPhone 4 screen flickering then turning off and when i try to turn it back on it either works or I get a white or purple screen. When i turn it off it doesn't turn back one

Ok so this started around a week ago. I got home one afternoon put my phone down went back to it and pressed the home button and it seemed that it turned itself off so I tried turning back on, didn't work so I hooked it up to my laptop tried turning it on again it came on but I got a WHITE screen. So after that I decided to leave it for a bit I went to it after it started working fine...until 4 days later. I was on instagram and all of a sudden the screen starts flickering like crazy and then it turned itself off, I did what i did last time and just left it for a bit it came back on working fine. And then about 2 days ago I was listening to music and the screen froze then started flickering (getting quite annoyed at this stage) and then turned off, this time I tried turning it back on straight away only this time it worked. And that brings us to this morning, i was on facebook and about 5 minutes later it starts flickering and freezing once again and then turned itself off. So i hooked it up to my laptop I then got it to turn on for like 6 seconds then the screen started to dim and turned off. That brings us up to now about 10 minutes ago i tried turning it on, it turned on but I got a PURPLE screen and it just stayed like that until i turned it off. Does anybody have any idea what is going on? I think its the screen itself but i'm probably wrong. All help is appreciated.

I am also having the same problem.. Its too much annoying and its unfortunate nobody at apple support has anyclue of what is happening?
... This is happening almost most of the time keeping my phone down most of the times.

I had the same problem but looking at what everyone else said, I simpley slowly started to click on all the tabs in the app store, let them load completely, and then clicked back to the updates afterwards. It worked after a little while

IPod shows red X on the screen and turns off by itself

my 80GB iPod was just sitting on my desk when all of a sudden it turned off. i tried turning it back on, the apple sign shows, then a big red "X" mark shows on the screen and below it shows a link to apple's support page - "www.apple.com/support/ipod".
I clicked everything i can and nothing happens, i plugged it in the computer and iTunes shows nothing. I tried reseting it many times but it'll just show the same red X and turn off again... is my ipod broken for good or can i fix this?

Hey, I had the same problem and did everything I could think of to fix it (apple store, resetting it, draining the charge). Then I started freaking out because I didn't want to spend the money on a new hard drive or a new iPod. So I did a little searching and found this on another forum:
"Some times when you drop your ipod the lens inside skips. (kinda like a record player) reset your ipod by holding the middle and menu button until you hear clicking. then with one hand hold the ipod firmly and hit the side of it onto the PALM of your other hand. Sometimes this jumps the needle back into place but not all the time."
I didn't drop mine like mentioned ablove, it just happened, but I've been frustrated and was going to try anything to not spend another $200+. I used the palm method, and it didn't work. But then I hit the side of the ipod on the ground (carpet of course) about two or three times. It made a funny noise and then turned on and started working like before. What a relief. Hope this helps.

My imac will not load after I enter my password. The only thing I get is the arrow from my mouse on top of a blank white screen. Can anyone tell me what this is? I've restarted and turned off several times. I left it on in this state for 8 hours hoping it would reload and work. No luck.

Hello KCC4ME,
You may try booting your Mac in Safe Boot, as it can resolve many issues that may prevent a successful login.
OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

If a Safe Boot allows you to successfully log in, you may have issues with one or more login itmes (while the following article is labelled as a Mavericks article, it is viable for earlier versions of the Mac OS, as well).

I go to my settings and i change something and then i hit the home button and it wont let me go home. So i then try to turn my screen of and turn it back on to see if that will help. It will not shut off either. How do i fix this problem?

I have a problem! I go to my settings to change something and then i hit the home button to go home and it will not let me. So I hit the button on the top to turn it off to see if i can make it anybetter. My screen will not turn off! I tried to shut it off and it wont let me do that either. So now i am stuck in my iPod settings until my iPod dies. How do i fix this problem?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
