What do I do if the ipod froze and a white screen appeared?

My daughter was playing with her ipod touch 4th gen.  She went to play te Jenga app and the screen froze.  We tried to reboot but all it did was go to a white screen with a horizontal stripe down the middle.  Any suggestions?  It is only a month old.

  • I click on the firefox icon and a white screen appears and nothing else

    Internet explorer works fine but Firefox has quit completely. I don't like internet explorer and would like to get my Firefox working again, The white screen will remain there forever. I tried reloading but a window appears and says I already have Firefox

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, #p#ly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • HT3964 My iMac turns on and a white screen appears with the mac apple and the wheel just sits and spins for a long period of time. Any ideas?

    My iMac turns on. A white screen appears, then a apple appears, then the wheel starts to turn but my computer never boots all the way on?

    Please carefully read Apple's Gray screen appears during startup advice letter for steps on how to troubleshoot the issue.

  • I downloaded the latest itunes version while my ipod 4 touch was plugged into my usb port on my laptop. After it downloaded on my computer the ipod froze and it shows a picture of a usb cable, and an arrow pointing to the itunes symbol.

    i tried to restart and re download everything and it still is doing the same thing. this keeps happening alot and i have to end up taking the ipod to the apple store to have them erase everything on my ipod to restart it. is there anything i can do at home to fix it

    Have you tried to put the device into DFU mode?
    To put the device in DFU mode,
    1. Connect the device to iTunes
    2. Hold both the power button and the home button down simultaneously
    3. After 10 seconds, release the power button but leave the home button pressed
    4. iTunes should then recognize that the device has entered DFU mode and ask to restore.
    I hope that helps.

  • What does it mean when I turn on my iPod Touch and a white screen shows up?  Nothing else comes up.

    Everytime I try to turn it on, a white screen comes up and nothing else.  I just used by iPod Touch last week and everything was normal.

    No, you don't have a virus, but if that folder has a flashing '?', it means your Mac can't find its' system:

    Take a look at those and see if any of those suggestions help.

  • My Ipod suddenly has a white screen and will not turn off.  What can I do?, My Ipod suddenly has a white screen and will not turn off.  What can I do?

    My daughter was playing on her Ipod Touch when the screen went white.  It will not turn off or do anything.  Has anyone else had this problem and know what may work?

    The same thing just happened to my new ipod today while i was trying to use an app. A lot of people say that it is caused by an ios update, but I let the battery on my ipod drain until it turned off.  Once i charged it, it turned on and is working normally again

  • I rented movie and cannot watch the movie stopped and a blank screen appeared tried several attempt to start movie no help

    There are a number of methods to contact iTunes Support when you have a problem with a purchase. You can try the 'report a problem' page to contact them : http://reportaproblem.apple.com

  • HT2292 I recently got a new ipod touch and the new one will not connect to itunes.  I've done all the troubleshooting and now I'm just plain frustrated.  With the new update my old ipod froze and best buy gave me a new one. What to do?

    My ipod recenly froze with the last update.  bestbuy gave me a replacement.  the new one will not connect to the computer or itunes.  i followed all the instructions and - nothing.  It's frustrating enough as i lost all my notes and work, but now I can't connect to sync with itunes.  i don't get it.  i'm not a supertech so i don't know what to do. help!!!!!!

    Thanks, Bob!  You are correct.  And, we learned this as we spoke with APPLE TECH SUPPORT by phone on Christmas day (800-APL-CARE).  One of their reps spent the time to help us troubleshoot this, but the boiled down conclusion is your answer, and to repeat for the benefit of others, here is what worked:
    1. With our Belkin router set to "out-of-the-box" WEP 64 bit security, we could not get wireless access of any kind.  Only with the Security Mode set to DISABLED, could we gain access.
    2. Changing the router's security mode setting to "WPA/WPA-2...." and entering a new min. 8 char passphrase, and then entering that same passphrase into the IPOD Touch, and restarting the router, did the trick!
    Based on this, and some info found in another posting, I can only conclude that the IPODs and IPHONES do not support WEP security mode in many generic routers used by thousands of consumers.  Hopefully, those same consumers can figure out how to change their wireless router setttings to WPA/WPA-2 security mode and ALSO get all their other wireless devices (PCs, laptops, WII boxes, ROKU boxes) all reconfigured to WPA mode, too.
    I THINK THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS THAT THERE IS AN ISSUE THAT APPLE NEEDS TO ADDRESS WITH WEP COMPATIBILITY and it may also be the case that MOST CONSUMERS ARE USING WEP 64 BIT security on their home wireless routers?
    In any case, it's working now, so anyone who is having problems should try changing to WPA mode and post back here if it worked for them!

  • What do I do when my iPod touch wants me to plug into iTunes and asks for a password on the iPod touch and can't do it?

    What do I do when the iPod touch asks to be plugged into it ouch and nothing happens. The PC asks to use password on iPod touch and it can't be done.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    Does the Shuffle appear ini Tunes at all?  If not try using a different USB port and double checking to make sure the other end of the syncing cable is firmly seated in the Shuffle.

  • Ipod touch got wet and froze on the battery symbol. I forced a shut down and wasnt responsive.  tried turning it on and it wouldnt. Later on white screen appeared followed by the apple logo

    i spilled a pop on my ipod and it froze up. the screen was loced on the battery symbol sign and i forced a shut down.  It tunred off and wont turn on.  Later a white screen popped up and after the apple logo popped up and dissapeared. I have tried to connect it to my computer and it said that the iphone(itunes read it as such) was in recovery mode. How do I get this thing to work again?

    Leave the iPod off and place it in a container with dry rice to absorb moisture. Let it thoroughly dry.
    Realistically, the chances of it working correctly again are slim, especially if the pop was sugared.

  • HT3302 what if i pay for the iPod to get fixed, because it doesn't have warranty anymore?

    my iPod touch 4 has accidently gotten wet, to where the screen is turning blank. The warranty has ran out, like about 2 years ago, and Apple won't fix it for free, i know that for a fact. What if I pay for the iPod to get it  fixed? Will Apple still fix it? If so, How much?

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit
