Unresponsive Blank White Screen! Help!

I have an first gen iPhone and it froze on me while using an app. I tried to reset and it did nothing for a few minutes, then went to a blank white screen and is completely unresponsive to any of the buttons. I tried to plug it into my mac and itunes doesn't recognize it. The screen is just blank white and won't dim and has been this way for almost an hour now.

Try a reset. Press and hold down the home button, then press and hold the sleep/wake button and hold both buttons until the phone reboots.
If that doesn't work, then try to force the phone into recovery. To do this, hold down the home button, then plug your phone into your Mac keeping the home button held until a picture of a USB cable with an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon shows. Then open iTunes and restore your phone.
If that doesn't work, you have to take your phone into your local Apple store to get it replaced. They will exchange it for free if it is still under warranty.

  • When I try to access my iTunes Store from my iPhone 5 it opens with a blank white screen. Help!

    I've tried for several days to open my iTunes Store on my iPhone. Every time it opens, but with a blank white screen.

    Hi Upswife,
    When troubleshooting iTunes Store connection issues, the following articles provide the best information:
    First, try signing out of your account in Settings > iTunes & App Store. Once signed out, go ahead and sign back in.
    iOS: Changing the signed-in iTunes Store Apple ID account
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1311
    If the above did not resolve your issue, refer to the following:
    Can't connect to the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1368
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    - Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking on Check for Update in your device's Summary page in iTunes.
    - Check and verify that you are in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you are on a 3G capable device, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    - Check to make sure you have an active internet connection. You can check the User Guide for your device for help with connecting to the internet.
    - Check to make sure other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the internet.
    - Try resetting (turning off and then on again) your Wi-Fi router
    - If the issue still persists see, iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connectionsoriOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • I now get a blank (white) screen in the Viewer.  Can still drop video from the viewer into the canvas, but don't see it in the viewer.  Please help!

    It doesn't seem to matter what project I'm working on... the picture in the viewer is gone.  All I see is a blank (white) screen.  If I put the cursor over the viewer and drag to the timeline, the clip will appear on the time line (and in the canvas) but I don't see it in the viewer.  I usually edit my clips in the viewer and not on the canvas.  Can anyone explain why this might be happening and how I might fix.  I'm suspecting I must have messed up one of the settings but I'll be darned if I can figure out which one or how to fix.  Please help!

    David.  Thank you very much.   The problem was not with the canvas but rather the Viewer.  But the solution was the same.  Somehow, the Viewer window was re-set to Alpha.  I changed it back to RGB.... and the picture is back.   These issues are often very simple.... but they can drive you bats if you don't know the answer.   Very grateful.  Tim

  • Help to Diagnose Blank, White Screen for 4th Gen iPod

    Can you help me diagnose my problem? Fully charged Ipod Gen 4 syncs and plays music, but I can’t navigate due to blank, white screen. Reset to original factory settings from iTunes, re synced with no improvement. Doesn’t even show apple or battery icon when charging. Any advice?

    So you basically cannot see anything on the screen, because it is all white.
    Since it can play music, connect your earphones and let it play continuously until it runs out of power and turns off. Keep trying to turn it back on and playing music until it will no longer turn on. Then let it sit disconnected for at least 24 hours.
    You are trying to make the battery dead so that the iPod is completely unpowered.
    Then connect it to the computer or the power adapter and see if the screen is working again.
    Alternately, if you know how to open the iPod with the plastic tools, you can simply disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then reconnect.
    There is always the possibility that your iPod's screen has become defective.

  • My Ipod 3rd generation wont turn off and is showing a blank white screen someone please help

    My Ipod 3rd generation wont turn off and is showing a blank white screen someone please help! xx

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iMac is giving me a blank white screen at startup help

    I just installed the sims 3 on my iMac and after the installation it kept giving me the spinning wheel so I restarted it. Once it restarted it just gave me a blank white screen for thirty minutes so I restarted it and held the option key so I could go into the recovery HD and repair the disk but still blank white screen. Now I've run out of ideas.

    Brendan,
    I would post this in the iMac forum for a quicker reply.
