When upgrading iPad screen turned white, why?

When prompted to upgrade the operating system on my iPad, during the upgrade the iPad screen became white.  I connected to iTunes & received the message "detected ipad in recovery mode, must restore ipad".  I clicked "restore & update".  I then received error message tht ipad could not be restored - unknown error occurred (37).  What do I do?

Same Frickin Problem let me elaborate. My Ipod Touch Will Work After I Hit the Power button about 50 to 60 times. Sometimes it takes over a hundred times hitting the button. turning it on and off over and over again. I'm thinking this may be a problem with the boot sector but Idk. The white screen comes on everytime. a Couple of times it'll come on. and works just fine until it goes into power saving mode. Is this what's happening to you? If so Then Apple needs to release an update to the firmware to try and fix it. because I can't even restore the current software. Version 4.3.3
Someone Help!

  • IPhone keeps returning to DFU Mode, Screen turns white then yellow when restoring

    I recently got a iPhone 3GS, I didnt jailbreak or anything. I was planning to restore and update to 6.1.3. After the restore it went directly to DFU Mode and wont exit. When I restored again, the screen turned white, when the itunes said preparing to restore,  the screen turned yellow and restore proccess wont continue. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!

    I have the same problem. An iPhone 4S, 6 months old, stuck in DFU mode, black screen and iTunes can't restore (error 1600). Tried reloading iTunes, tried 3 different computers (Win 7, Vista, OSX) all report the same problem.
    This phone has never been jailbroken (don't need that in Oz because my carrier doesn't lock their phones). It still had the original iOS that it came with from Apple.
    Like migsiliciousI read lots of post about using jailbreak software to kick the phone out of restore mode without installing a custom OS, but I'm not going to try that as the phone is still under warranty. If there is no simple solution to the 1600 error, then I'm going to have to travel 40km to the nearest Apple Store and see what they can do.

    If it happens when moving an object/text, the issue may be caused by the Chrome Pushbullet extension, see this post #3 by Matt with the solution,

  • When I select view Apple ID the screen turns white

    I'm trying to change my credit card info in my phone so I go to iTunes and app settings and then select Apple ID and view Apple ID then the screen turns white and it stays like that. How can I fix this?

    Hey there Vicky,
    It sounds like your account info screen is not loading correctly on your iPhone 5s when you try to edit your billing. I would start by signing out of the iTunes & App Stores in your settings first. Then quit all the running apps on the device with this:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that and restart the phone, sign back into your account and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    Sterling

    Just updated my Ipad operating system and one of my apps starts but then the screen turns white, with only the advertisment at the top showing

    The normal suggestions.
    Close the app,off fully.  Double tap the home screen then touch and hold any of the icons on the task bar until they jiggle, then close them all off by touching the - sign.
    Then reboot the pad and try the spp again.  If same issue, delete the app, then reload it.  ( no charge). You may just have a bad copy.  If continues, write to the developer, they may need to do an update.  I have an older version of the same app and it works fine.
    Since yours is the ad supported version, they are maing real sure you see the ad.  Is it as simple as you need to click thru the ad to get to the game?

  • Screen turns white when someone calls

    My iPhone screen turns white occasionally when I turn the phone on--not a big deal becaus I just turn it off and on again using the power button BUT sometimes someone calls and the screen turns white! There is no possibility to answer because the screen goes white immediately and so I miss the call! To make matters worse I don't have caller ID and so I don't know whose call I missed.
    Is this software or hardware? How to fix!!!

    Apple said they would replace it--but it seems when they replace your phone you DON'T get a NEW one!! They use refurbished ones from the factory that have been rejected initially and then they get "refurbished" and pushed out. . .that kinda *****! I am almost tempted to keep the one I have and get caller ID so I can just figure out who called when the screen goes white and i can just call them back.

  • 6th gen iPod Nano screen turns white when connected

    I just got my replacement Nano for the 1st gen Nano recall. I plug it in to sync and the screen is white. Sync finished and I unplug it. I remove the dock connector cable and the homescreen appears, but is almost in a mirror like state. The screen is in the correct orientation, but the letters are backwards and hitting the lets say radio app opens the music app scrolling down, scrolls up, etc. Sleep-wake fixes the issue. Plug it in again and does it again. Restore it. Doesn't fix it. Hard reset, doesn't fix it.
    Playing with it a bit, it seems to be an issue with the dock connector. I wiggle the cable and the screen turns white or goes to that mirror like state until I sleep/wake it. Unplug it, screen goes white/ to mirror like state until completely unplugged. In any case, if I touch the cable and wiggle it, the screen goes between white and mirror state.
    Will an Apple Store replace it or do I need to send it in since it was a replacement program?
    Thoughts?

    You have 90 days warranty on your replacement Nano, see if you can visit an Apple Store or get it serviced.

  • I tried turning my Ipod on and the screen turned white...

    I tried turning on my used ipod and the screen turns white. I have no idea why or how to fix it. When I googled how the solution only turned it black for a few seconds. Please help!
    (P.S. I might have the operating system wrong since it was my grandfather's ipod and he never told me.)

    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.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                            
    - 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 screen is white, why?

    I was charging my IPod Touch and when I tried to use it the screen turned white. None of my applications are showing.  What happened?  I only have a blank white screen?

    i too have the same problem. Looks like a hardware problem as I am not even able to restore or reset the ipod touch.

  • I Have Compaq 6200 Pro Microtower Pc..THE SCREEN TURNS WHITE & FREEZES after 8 -Minutes of usage

    I have an HP Compaq 6200 Pro Microtower PC.
    I cant use in recent times, about two weeks now. The screen turns white and freezes after about 8-10 minutes of been in use. when this happens, the FAN spins at extraordinary fast speed and this will continue for as long as possible until i have to press and hold the power button to off it.
    I have changed processor, powerpack, cooling fan, memory and hard disks but the problem persists.
    This PC is an i5- 3.10ghz, 4gb ram, 320gb hdd, ...windows 7 professional 64 bits.
    I need urgent help. Technical advice. What could be the course of this and what do i need to DO?

    Start the PC in 'safe mode' and check in device manager for new graphics drivers, it sound like you drivers are either out of date or corrupted, the screen going white and computer responding is a symptom of this.
    safe mode uses VGA drivers and these should not freeze giving you ample time to complete these steps.
