What do ii do when my ipod responds when i touch it but the screen is white

A relative of mine was trying to open the back of my ipod but eventhough it doesnt open. I told him that so then he gave me it back. When i turned it back on though ii could see all the icons but the screen was white like for example the facebook app icon was white and not blue. Im really confused. I dont know if i should leave it alone until the battery drains out or go an show it to someone to get it fixed. Please help me.. Who ever answers this question will get 10 points .

Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour see f that helps if you can't restore the iPod
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

    Hi , and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    And sorry to report that OSX is more Widows like than ever, but….
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

  • Sometimes when downloading a .pdf file I'm not automatically switched to Acrobat reader, but the screen becomes white with a red borderline left and upper, IE doesn't have this problem

    The screen shows the borders of the original site. Beneath the Mozilla workbar the screen becomes white, on the left and upper side there appears a thin red line. Nothing is downloaded, clicking the right mouse button doesn't solve the problem. It doesn't happen everytime I try to load a .pdf file. When I go to the same site using Internet Explorer I do not encouter the same problem, swiching to Acrobat Reader or FoxIt is immediate.

    To enable this right you need Acrobat, not the free Reader.
    However, starting from Reader X it is possible to add simple markups to any file, unless it has been specifically disallowed by the creator of the file.

  • What does it mean when all I see on the screen is a circle with a slash?

    I did a hard shutdown when my MacBookPro was not responding to a Save command,  When I rebooted all I got was a circle with a slash through it in the center of the screen, and the "spinning wheel of death" below it.  What happened??

  • I was given an iPhone 5s (not brand new) and the screen is totally smashed. It connects to iTunes and beeps constantly when I charge it but the screen is totally black and remains that way no matter what I try?

    I've tried restoring it and resetting it to factory settings but nothing is working. Can an iPhone get so smashed that the screen stops working completely? If I got the screen fixed would it be fixed? ahhh

    Sure it can. The screen is a sensitive part of the phone. Whatever caused the glass to break may have caused other more extensive damage to the internla components.

    No way to answer that.  Its impossible to know if only the screen is damaged or if something else suffered damage when the screen broke.
    Judging by the constant beeping, I would think its developed a short or some other failure somewhere from the accident.

    For Grand Theft Auto, the only version I found that "Officially" still run native on the Mac and are in the Mac App Store are Grand Theft Auto II I released in 2010-2011 and Grand Theft Auto Vice City released in 2012.
    The more recent versions of GTA IV and V are PC ONLY. NO official Mac OS X version for these.
    There are no other versions available on the Mac App Store! so those should run on your Mac with little issues as it is designed to run on OS X 10.6.6 and later OS X versions.
    From the GTA website posted in Feb 2014,
    https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200147266-Macintosh-system-r equirements-and-specifications-for-Grand-Theft-Auto-III-Vice-City-and-San-Andrea s
    AND, the GTA web link does not mention any support for OS X 10.7, 10.8, 10.9 OR 10.10.
    So, I am not sure what versions of these games you purchased and where, but it would appear the recent versions of these games are NOT OS X supported.
    You would need to install the proper version of Windows on your Mac to play these games.
    If you are running the latest Tomb Raider that is available on the Mac App Store either Tomb Raider Essential or Tomb Raider Underworld, both should be able to run on your Mac. Tomb Raider Underworld runs on OS X 10.6.6 or later and Tomb Raider Essentials runs on OS X 10.9.1 Mavericks and later.
    You might be having issues with these on OS X 10.10 Yosemite as users are still having issues with the new OS X.
    Did you ever play these under OS X 10.9 Mavericks?.
    I suspect issues with these games under Yosemite as Yosemite, itself, uses more hardware overhead. Based on numerous issues posted here about Yosemite, seems Yosemite is more taxing on both RAM and the GPU.

  • I have OSX 10.5.7 on my Intel Mac. When I try to login using the correct password the screen goes white and just returns back to the login screen. It does not jiggle like when you enter the wrong password.

    I have had a number of issues with my Intel Mac recently and had to reboot using disk utilities, safe mode, OSX recovery, but always come back to the login screen but when I type my password the screen goes white and returns to the login screen. My password is correct and the login does not jiggle as it would if the password was wrong. Please advise,

    Back up all data if you haven’t already done so. There are ways to back up, even if you can’t log in. Before proceeding,you must be sure you can restore everything to the state it’s in now. If you’re not sure you can do that, STOP.
    The procedure below may spare you the need for a clean reinstallation of OS X. If you don't feel comfortable carrying it out, don't. try.
    Briefly, you need to delete the following file:
    /var/audit/current
    If you already know how to do that, you can skip the rest of this message. Do it, and try again to log in.
    Boot in single-user mode by holding down the key combination command-S at the startup chime. If you’re using an external USB keyboard, it must be plugged directly into a built-in port on the Mac, not into a hub. Release the keys when you see a black screen with scrolling white text. In this mode, there’s no graphical interface; just a command line. Initially, you can’t make any changes to files.
    When the text stops scrolling, and you see a line ending in a pound sign (“#”), type the following command:
    mount -uw /
    You must type the command exactly as given, with no mistakes. If you don’t feel able to do that, STOP. At this stage, no harm will be done if you make a mistake, but later, it will be. Press the return key.
    Next, type the following command:
    rm -i /var/audit/current
    Press return. You should get the following output:
    remove /var/audit/current?
    If that's not what you get, STOP. Type the single letter N, press return, and try again. Otherwise, type the single letter Y and pressreturn.
    Finally, enter the command:
    exit
    Press return. The text will start scrolling again, and then the system will reboot. Try again to log in.

  • IPod Touch hangs / selects controls when my finger is above the screen 5mm

    Hi
    16gb touch
    Playing songs - some controls fail to respond ie touching the volume slider is erratic. Sometimes playing videos or songs the ipod hangs and no amount of tapping the screen helps. I need to turn off and then on again.
    Also sometimes the Ipod is sensitive and controls are selected when my finger is slightly above the screen. They all seem to light up and this eventually leads to a hanging ipod.
    Any help would be great.

    Ok well heres my opinion:
    Its very hard to tell what is "normal" with new tech. Just because somthing is not what you expected doesn't mean there is a hardware/software problem. Im not saying somthing isnt wrong with your iPod however. There is still the chance that it IS a problem with software/hardware. What I would suggest is that you check out a iPod touch at an apple store near you or try out someone elses and see if it is working differently than yours is. Sometimes it more of just somthing you have to get used to rather than a problem.
    Most things on the forums such as dead pixels, syncing problems, battery problems, are things that are very easy to say there is definately somthing wrong the ipod itself. But your problem with sensitivity issues may just be that your not quite used to the controls yet.
    Just my opinion.
