White screen after downloading iOS6 update

I just downloaded the iOS6 update onto my iPod touch, 4th generation.  (I was prompted to do so when I turned it on this afternoon.)  The update "stuck" midway, and after waiting more than an hour, I forced the iPod to turn off by holding down the sleep/wake button and the home button simultaneously.  The iPod shut down and then restarted itself.  However, the restart left me with a white/blank screen.  Is there any way I can restore this iPod to factory defaults?  It does not appear as a device in iTunes.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why am I getting a white screen after downloading to OSX Mountain lion from OSX Snow Leopard. What caused this?

    I just upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion from OSX Snow Leopard, thinking this was the thing to do.  I have NEVER had any problems with Snow Leopard, but
    after just a few days after downloading OSX Mountain Lion when I turned the computer on, the screen was white.  Stayed white.  I had to go onto another
    computer to find out what to do.  What caused this and will this happen again?

    Did you see a circle made of light grey hash marks in the center/bottom of the screen?  My iMac is 5 years old and for every update until 10.8.2 I would get the same white screen and the first few times I paniced and thought the machine was broken!  Just let it play out until the desktop comes back up and it should not do it again until you do a system update. 

  • Phone stuck on apple screen after downloading new update

    Downloaded the new update 8.02 (i think thats what its called) last night. Since then phone is stuck on white apple screen. Got it to turn off once, now can't get it to turn off but I plugged it into my mac book and now I have got it to cycle through a blue, then black, then back to apple screens. Phone won't even show up in iTunes to restore it. Ugh....Help please. Its my alarm clock and I need to be up in a few hours not trying to get my darn phone to just turn on or off. Thanks in advance to my savior of this apple fiasco (today)

    I tried putting it into recovery mode, hold power and home button and it has done nothing to help. Still goes to white apple screen and freezes there then flashes blue then back to white screen again. Plugging it in does nothing because it won't register that it is plugged in so still can't recover from iTunes. Help needed asap!

  • Iphone is stuck on boot screen after new IOS6 update

    Hi everybody. I have yet, another problem.
    When the new IOS (6) was released, i of course recived a notification on my phone about it.
    It said that the new operating system was out and my phone was ready to upgrade.
    My situation at the time was that i was not connected or even near any wi-fi for my phone to connect to, and i was on a data plan for my phone so either way the data would be downloaded and put onto my iphone
    (I have a regular iphone 4 BTW)
    I agreed to upgrade my phone and set it down to handle its business, checking occasionally on its progress, i noticed the progress bar sliding across and thinking: "Ok my phones ugrading, nice and easy, new IOS wonder what apple will fix for me."
    Then after a while of updating, my phone screen went black. I tried to turn it on and the "Connect to itunes" screen popped up.
    (This was a problem because i wasnt near a computer with itunes)
    After reaching one, I attempted to finish updating my phone when a bomb dropped on me.
    A pop up in itunes read. (Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode would you like to restore it.) or something like that) and this surprised me because I had alot stored on my phone
    contacts
    settings
    A TON OF MUSIC
    etc.
    And getting over the stress of my problem i restored it.
    leading to ANOTHER set of problems
    My phone being stuck on the apple screen upon activation
    I have tried everything to get my phone to its former glory but nothing has worked  I've held the buttons, ive searched many times on how and nothing has worked.
    SO please, if anybody knows what is happening and has ANY Experience please respond
    thanks.
    Vaughn

    So you updated the phone without first doing a backup.
    Now you want to recover the data that was not backed up?
    Ummmm.... there is nothing to recover.
    FYI, music has never been a part of a backup, it should already exist in the iTunes library on the computer that the device syncs with.
    Also, if the device had been used as designed, all your contacts, notes, calendar entries, etc would be synced with a supported application on the computer or a cloud service.  While this would not eliminated the possibility of data loss, it would certainly minimize the data lost.

  • Frozen screen after downloading ios6!!

         first timer be nice
         down loaded new ios6 for ipad screen frozen prefer not to restore and lose data not backed up?

    If the Reset doesn't work, try and force iPad into Recovery Mode; data will be lost.
    1. Turn off iPad
    2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
    3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPad
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
    5. Release the Home button
    6. Open iTune
    7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode"
    8. Use iTune to restore iPad
    Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

  • What to do with withe screen after download ios5

    my iphone turnd on white screen after download ios 5 what can i do now

    If you purchased apple care plus then you can get your iPad replaced for a $49 service fee. If you didn't then out of warranty replacements start at 219 for a mini and goes up to 299 for the newer models.
    If you decide to take it to a non-authorized repair place, they might fix it cheaper, but once a non-authorized place touches your device Apple washes its hands of it and will have nothing else to do with it.
    So it kinda comes down to the more expensive sure bet of an out of warranty replacement or a cheaper gamble

  • I have a white screen whilst downloading Yosemite onto my Mac. What should I do??

    I Have a white screen after downloading & installing Yosemite.  What should I do now???

    First of all, wait and give it some time. It might be rebuilding the disk. Sometimes, it takes a little time for the busy indicator to come up.
    If there is no change in 5 min., reboot with the option key pressed. This will make the mountable recovery partition visible. You can select it and boot into it, then use Disk Utlity to try to check and repair your boot volume.
    If there is no recovery HD, boot while pressing CMD-R. You need to be in a place with a network connected to the internet. If you are, you can boot recovery tools over the internet, and restore your system. Depending on the speed of your network connection, this can take a while (even hours....).
    It is useful to have a backup of your system using a USB drive. These are inexpensive. Use Carbon Copy Cloner to maintain a copy of your main disk. You can boot from the USB drive, and repair your internal volume, and even completely restore it, should trouble arise.

  • After downloading the update ios6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed, After downloading the update iso6 my iPad is extremely slow how can this be fixed

    After downloading the update for my iPad 3rd gen my iPad is extremely slow. How can this be fixed???

    You may have to restore your iPad using Recovery mode, but try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. Let go of the buttons when you see the logo. This takes about 10-15 seconds.
    IF the update will not complete or you see the connect to iTunes message on the screen, you have to restore your iPad.
    If you can't update or restore your iOS device

Never get to a second chime.  Thank you.

  • After downloading mozilla update to 16.1 i lost all my home screen details.most of these i have resolved.but i have lost my freecorder tool bar settings .

    after downloading mozilla update to 16.x.which had a problem when downloading i lost all my home screen details most of these i have resolved.but i have lost my freecorder 4 tool bar settings from my home screen(it still works in i.e.)could you advise how to resolve this concern please.

    On the screen on the iPhone does it show a usb cable pointing up to the iTunes synbol?. If it does then your iPhone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored through iTunes on a PC/Mac.
    Now in terms of the data you lost, would you know if you backed it up to iTunes/iCloud?. Did you sync data with iCloud at all? e.g. contacts, calendars.
