The Screen Is Blank

Hi, I turned my ipod on just now and the screen is blank. I can still hear the music but the screen is blank. Only the light is on. And yes, I read all those FAQ and suggestions but they did not work. I tried resetting it by pressing Menu and Select button, but as the screen is blank there's nothing to see! Im currently charging it right now....hopefully by tomorrow everything will be fine again.
Any suggestions? Have this happened to you?
Ipod Mini   Windows XP  

I am having the same problem since updating. Only the screen is not really blank. The contrast is just so bright that you can't see the words. I managed to find the settings/contrast control and turned it as dark as I could, but it is still barely visible. Is there any way to get back to the previous update. When I go to it on the disc it just says "update not necessary".

  • TS3274 My App Store shows 3 updates but when I go to it the screen is blank. It will not give me the option to update all or one at a time, it doesn't show the apps at all.

    My App Store shows 3 updates but when I go to it the screen is blank. It will not give me the option to update all or one at a time, it doesn't show the apps at all.

    Many people are having this problem for the last couple of days. This is a problem that Apple has to fix. If you look around the forum, you will see many, many discusssions about this and they have been going on for a few days.
    According to Fly150 in another discussion, this is a workaround - for the time being.
    If you want to update the Apps while waiting for Apple to fix Updates:
    1. Go to App Store
    2. Select Purchased
    3. Select All
    4. Scroll down to find the Apps showing update
    5. Select update on the Apps
    This should update the Apps and get rid of the update count in App Store.

  • TS3274 My IPAD is on and is making the right noises as I am receiving emails.  The screen is blank and I can not get it to turn on.  I have tried to turn off and on again which is tricky when there is a blank screen.  I have synced my ipad with itunes... 

    My IPAD has a blank screen.  It is on and working because I can hear the ping of my emails arriving.  I turned off and on as best I could which is tricky as the screen is blank.  I synced with itunes and checked for updates.  All ok. 
    Screen is still blank.
    I can reset the ipad but I did this a month or so ago and it took forever and it lost all of my music which then took forever to get back on properly.
    SO If I can avoid this I would.
    Any help would be so appreciated!!
    Thankyou

    Try reset iPad (not Restore)
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

  • My MacBook pro wont wake up from sleep. The screen is blank at all times, but I can hear the fan for 5 sec then everything stops. Please help! I don't kno what to do.

    My MacBook pro is about 3 yrs old. It is a 2008 model right before the new design came out. Recently I closed it up which puts it to sleep and a couple minutes later when I opened it up the screen stayed blank but could hear the fan running but then the power clicked like it was shutting down and I could hear nothing more. My power supply is working and I have already tried resetting it. Can anyone help me? I don't live exactly near a Mac store to get help.

    Before resorting to an LB change-out, try this, as it has fixed many of the "silver-key" Macbook Pros with wake-from-sleep issues:
    1) To get the computer running, do an SMC reset. Instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Your MBP model uses the first option under the subhead, "Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)"
    2) If you get it running, go to System Preferences > Network and select your Airport connection
    3) In the result main pane, click the "Advanced..." button.
    4) You should be looking at a window with multiple tabs at the top; the "Airport" tab (far left) should be active---if not, make it so.
    5) There is a panel showing "Prefered Networks." Use the "minus" button below that window to eliminate any networks that you don't need to access on more than a weekly basis. I'm down to two: the home Airport Extreme Base Station and the network for a museum at which I volunteer once a week.
    5) Click "OK" and close System Preferences.
    Now try letting it sleep and see it if wakes up.
    When this happened to my Late 2007 MBP, I used Console to read system.log and found that, on waking, the compuer was looking for the wireless network at a lodge where I'd stayed weeks earlier and miles away. Clear the morass of old networks and keeping the list short has completely cured my wake-from-sleep issues.
    The steps I listed take less time to do than to read, and are within the ability even of novice Mac users.
    If that doesn't work, you may need to seek professional help. If you take it to an Apple Store and they recommend a logic board replacement, ask about a "Depot Repair." Instead of replacing the logic board on-site (which will whack you to the tune of US$700-1100), they send the computer to a central Apple refurb facility that fixes whatever they find wrong for a flat fee of about US$315 (last time someone reported using the service here). Turnaround is about one working week, and people who have taken of this service have reported being very pleased with the outcome.

  • When i go to the app store to update the one app that needs to be updated, the screen is blank.  It used to list all the apps that need updating and have a button called update all.  Now nothing.  Just a blank screen.

    There's been a problem with this all day.  Seems to be a server problem  -  wait a day and try again, or use itunes on the computer to update, that works.

    In windows 7, click on your start menu, go to accessories, right click on the command prompt icon and choose "run as administrator".  Once it opens, type in the following command...
    netsh winsock reset
    hit enter and it should say something like winsock reset successful now reboot your computer.

    Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?

    See if any of the following fix it.
    Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
    If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
    A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

    When I click on my Messages app I can see it for a brief moment and then the screen goes blank.  This happened to me last week and I Reset All Settings, which worked-but it has just happened again so that's not a long-term solution.

    Hello linslaf,
    It may help to force close the Messages app, then restart the device.
