White icons on ipod touch

I have an ipod touch and have just noticed that some of the app icons have turned white otr blank.
Anyone have the same problem and know of a fix. I have restarted the ipod.
Many thanks

Try to reset the iPod first by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data doing a reset.
If you delete apps in order to download or sync them again, you will also erase the data of those apps while removing them from your device.

How to get rid of white icons on ipod touch 4th generation

How do you get rid of white icons on the ipod touch 4th generation. I tried resetting it already.
Thanks,

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

White screen on iPod Touch

Is there an "Apple recommended" way to recover from the stuck "white screen" on iPod Touch?

Yes. See the white screen topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting

White screen on ipod touch tried holding sown bjuttons nothing working ned help

white screen on ipod touch. tried holding buttons. dont work. need help.

If your iPod is covered (insured) I would suggest taking it to Best Buy and see if there is anything they can do for you. Maybe try plugging it into iTunes and see what happens.

"Connect to iTunes" icon on iPod Touch 2G???

On Wednesday I upgraded to OS 3.0 on my 16 GB iPod Touch 2G. Everything was working fine until this afternoon when I turned on my iPod to read an e-book that I had been reading earlier and there was a black screen with an icon of a USB plug and an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. I tried shutting down completely. It didn't help. I tried charging it with a wall plug. (I was at work and couldn't get to iTunes.) It didn't help.
When I got home I connected it to my MacBook and ITunes, it synced and all seems to be well now, but what the heck happened? Is this a sign I have a problem lurking in the background? (And, no, it's not a jailbroken iPod and never has been.) I bought it new, I'm the only user, and it's worked flawlessly until this.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Judie

Have you had this happen before? I haven't. I tried googling "Connect to iTunes icon for iPod Touch" and there were a couple of posts but I sensed that those folks had it happen on a jailbroken iPod.
Did you upgrade to the new iPhone OS 3.0?
I'm hoping someone that knows what caused this will reply so that maybe we can prevent it from happening again. It sure was a helpless feeling when I couldn't get to iTunes while at work. Now I feel like I can't depend on the iPod to always work properly.

My icons are white on my iPod touch how do I fix it?

My icons are white for most of my apps on my iPod touch. How do I fix it?

Try a reset. It worked here:

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.

White/Black unresponsive iPod Touch

Despite just locking my iPod Touch for 10 minutes, the screen when I returned would not worked. I tried the Sleep/Home many times - still the black unresponsive screen. Then I tried to connect it to my computer - nothing. Then I tried while holding down the Home button. Luckily, my iTunes then recognised it. However, when I was told to Restore, which I did, the screen went white and the error message 21 occurred. When the screen is white and I try and turn it on or Sleep/Home, the screen either stays white or goes unresponsive black. Any suggestions?

Have you tried deleting and redownload the Apps from the App store?
You'll not be charged for any purchased Apps again.

White Screen on iPod Touch app store, NOT ITUNES.

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation running on iOS 6 and the App Store application recently stopped working on it. Everything else is running perfectly, it still has internet connection and everything, but nothing will load on the App Store. When you open the application it's just a white screen, no loading circle or anything, you can click on the five categories on the bottom still (Featured, Charts, Genius, Search, and Updates), but they are all just a white screen, with the exception of the "Search" option. When you go to search, everything is still white, but the gray search bar is still available and when you type in items it still auto finds matches for the keyword you're searching, but when you actually press search, nothing happens.
I heard restoring the iPod might work, and that a lot of other people are having this problem, but it's happened to numerous people and I feel as if after the restore it might just come back.

Try a reset, and if that fails, try again while in the appstore. No data is erased.
To reset the device:
Hold the power button and the home button down until the device shuts off, then power it back on and see if the problem is resolved.

Vibrating icons with ipod touch

Every now and then, my newly purchased ipod touch (32Gb) All icons vibrate, I don't know why they vibrate, the only way i know how to stop the icons from shaking is rebooting the ipod touch. When I look at the screen all icons vibrate/shimmer/shake. I find this frustrating and I am sure there is an easy explanation however, I am at a loss, Any help would be appreciated

This is how you rearrange the icons.
Maybe you should look at the manual, I believe this is covered in the basics section:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf
The home button will stop the shaking.

Loading... icons on ipod touch

I was trying to update my iPod apps via Wifi via the App Store. It was downloading for a moment then the Wifi signal just went out. My work place's wifi connection broke down for some convenient time. Anyway, now i'm stuck with the Loading... with blank icons on my iPod touch. When I connected my touch to iTunes, it did continue the download process, but the Loading... icons are still there. Is there any way to remove those icons without restoring? I tried holding down the icon until it wiggles (so i can arrange them and delete them if i want to) the problem is there is no X button on them.
Any ideas? Thanks!
I'm using 2.0.1 by the way. And had trouble updating apps. For some reason my touch just freezes, but that's another problem.

I'm actually having a similar problem. This is what's happening to me:
App Store ON the iTouch has the most recent App/Game updates, but iTunes does NOT. If I attempt to update Apps within iTunes, things seem to go alright (although it never has the most recent updates, bar a handful of free Apps). Since the most recent updates are only showing in App Store on the iTouch, I have to update from there. This is what ultimately leads to the "stuck on apple logo" situation.
Btw, I'm on my 15th restore in 3 days.
P.S. All of the band aide solutions given in these forums have yet to fix the problems me (and others) are experiencing. I do sincerely appreciate your efforts none-the-less.

No icon for iPod touch.

Ok, so I used to have an iPod nano that when I would plug it into my Mac, an icon would show up and when I wanted to eject it I would drag the icon down to the trash can. Now, with the iPod touch, nothing shows up. Did I do something wrong or does this feature not apply to the touch.

It doesn't apply to the iPod Touch. It won't ever appear on the desktop. Eject the iPod using the blue eject button to the right of your iPod in the devices list.

Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
If the iPod will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the iPod. See this article for assistance.
