The screen on my ipod 4 has gone white and I cannot fix it.

I have tried holding down the home and the power button until my fingers go numb but it wont reset!! :-(  Help

- Next connect to your computer.  If iTunes sees the Pid then restore via iTunes
- If still white, then lett the battery fully drain. After charging for anhour try the reset (both buttons) and connect to computer and restore.
- If still problem then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • The screen of my iPod has gone all red.

    The screen of my iPod has gone all red and the whites have become blue rain like thing. Its one and a half year old iPad. Really disappointed

    "Not to my knowledge."
    Hmmm. Are you being completely open with us?
    If it was dropped by friend or family, other threads here on this phenomemna indicate slapping it on the back a couple of times with increasing intensity caused the screen to return to normal....but no comment on how long it remained normal. Do a search on this forum for "red screen."
    If you can state with certainty that it was not dropped, and if it is still under extended warranty, and if the Apple store believes you, they may give you a rebuilt one.

  • 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.

  • The screen on my iPod has cracked / shattered.  Is this something that can this be fixed or do I need to get a new iPod?

    The screen on my iPod has cracked / shattered.  Is this something that can this be fixed or do I need to get a new iPod?  Everthing still works just the glass is shattered at the bottom and cracks are running up through the screen.

    It can be fixed by Apple, some authorized Apple repair shops, or third-party repair shops.
    Apple actually replaces your iPod with a refurbished iPod and the price will depend on what model you have. Others will repair your iPod and the prices tend to be lower.
    Apple prices are here: Service Answer Center - iPod

  • I broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says i need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can i do

    hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.

    You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
    If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source.

  • Words w friends is freezing up on the new iOS 7 software, the screen freezes leaving a black open space and doesn't fix itself.

    Words w friends is freezing up on the new iOS 7 software, the screen freezes leaving a black open space and doesn't fix itself.

    Probably an issue with the App itself, not with iOS 7 or your iPad.  There will probably be an update coming out soon as there are many people having issues with that App

  • The screen on my MacBook has been flickering and shaking up and down. It starts flickering, shaking, gets 'pixelated,' then eventually begins to fade to white and freezes. Restarting sometimes helps, but only temporarily. Why is this? How can I fix it?

    The screen on my MacBook has just started flickering and shaking up and down while I am using it. The screen starts flickering, shaking, gets pixelated, begins to freeze, and eventually fades to white. Why is it doing this? How can I fix it?
    It is a newer MacBook, just over 1 year. It is well cared for, hasn't been dropped, etc. I don't want to pay for expensive repairs for such a new computer, and I certainly can't afford a new one!
    I've tried updating my system like the Support page suggested, but no improvement. The problem started just the other day, and is progressively getting worse.
    .... as I typed this, it did it again. Only, this time it did not flicker and shake, but got 'pixelated' (pixels came up checkered-like darkened and lightened). It did this for about 2 minutes and then stopped after I did not touch the computer.... Now it is flickering... HELP!

    it means that it is not a hardware issue.  Other then that, Im not too sure.  Sorry I can't help you any further, but Im sure others members of this forum will read your question and be able to help you.  Good luck
