White screen after update and restore?

Is this a hardware issue or anything else I can try to do with the Ipod Touch gen 4? I'm running software 4.3.5.

- First try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Connect to computer and it ITunes sees the iPod restore the iPod
- Next see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPOd. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

HT1459 how to permanently fix white screen after resetting and restoring

How to permanently fix a 'White Screen" after resetting and restoring? 2nd generation ipod

There are two different resets. The reset you did involved holding the sleep/wake & home button.
The other reset will do exactly what it says. That reset is located in Settings - General - Reset.

IPod 4th Gen has white screen after replacement, and restore

Okay. Here's the problem. A while ago, I dropped my iPod, and it's screen cracked. I've been living with it ever since perfectly, but just with a cracked screen. Now, I ordered a new screen, and I begin to replace it. I knew how, and like an easy job, I did it pretty quick compared to others. After both ribbon cables where in, I pressed the lock button, and my iPod had a white screen. I was a little worried about that, so, I tried to reattach the screen. Now it was just black, after even using the home and lock button restart method. Eventually I got it back up and to the white screen by draining the battery and recharging, and there I was again, stuck. I looked at some forums on the internet to try to see if anyone had my problem. After clicking on the first link, it turns out, alot of people had this problem as well as me. The solution they said was pressing the home button and lock button for about 10 or so seconds, and then it goes to the apple screen and is all better again. I tried it, and my home button broke. Great. So, now I had to use the little button that the home button was pressing down to try the solution. Tried it, and, nothing. Still the blank, plain, white screen. Looked some more and saw that pressing the home and lock buttons along with the volume up button worked for some people too. Tried it, worked just as good as the previous one. Nothing. I even tried some person's idea of doing home, then volume up, then lock, in different timed stages. Nothing. I also saw people begging for them not to restore their iPods and begging for a solution. I was fine with a restore, I just had games that I played on my iPhone as well. So, I went with it, and restored it, without any backups, just going to factory mode. Afterwards I heard my iPod make the iOS "plugged in" sound, and anxiously tried the lock button. Still had the white screen. STILL. Now, I'm here, begging for a solution like others, with an iPod that won't function properly. Can someone please help me?

No nothing like that happened, I'm sure, but I actually spent the day looking for a fix. Luckily, I had the idea of taping the spring down because I though the screen didn't touch it. Turns out I was right, but however, I found out that the screen I ordered was broken in a way, because it still had the white screen after the taping. Just to make sure, I tried the other screen to clarify if the taping worked or not. I did the home and lock button restart, and up popped the apple logo. So, that means that the screen I got from the seller was either a rip-off, or was just broken somehow in process of making, or delivering in some matter. Unfortunately, I think I can't ship it back unless for alot of money because the person I got it from comes from China. I live in the USA. So that's gonna be a matter to work with myself. Thank you for trying to help.

Stuck at the "apple screen" after update and restore

I updated my iPhone 4 today to the iOS 7 version, everything went ok, after that i did the "Restore from Backup" option through iTunes, and all went fine.
After it finished the restore the iPhone made a restart, then turned on the apple screen, and after a few seconds apeard a line beneth the apple, it started to fill it in, and when it got to ~70-80% it stucked, for ~30 min already.....
I'v tried to restart the device, and its making the same thing, tried to connect to iTunes and make restore again, and it fails because the iPone is "Busy" with god knows what.....
Any solution for this problem????
thx in advance for any kind of help!

You can get no support on this forum. Since you have iOS 7, you're either a developer (in which case, per your NDA you must post in the Developer Forums) or a thief.

Ipad gone straight to white screen after updating

Just installed the update for my ipad and it has rebooted to a white screen! I have tried the following but have had no sucsess:
Attempted to reboot by holding home and power button together - screen flashes to white and then to black but i am unable to see any Apple logo. I know it is rebooting as it reconises it on Itunes
Unable to restore through Itunes as it says i need to enter the password on the device. Obviuslly i can not see anything on the screen to enter anything.
Anyone got any ideas on what to do next? I am going to book myself in at the store but want to save the journey.

TRY FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. You must follow step 1 to step 4 VERY CLOSELY.

White screen after update

Good Day,
My Imac did not start anymore after updating to osx 10.6.8. It stuck at a white screen.
I followed the suggestions at this thread: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570.
Reinstalling OSX worked fine. But after updating to 10.6.8 by using software-update in the main menu (top left corner), the same problem occured.
Again I reinstalled OSX and manually updated 10.6.3 until 10.6.7 and still everything is running.
Does anybody know how to solve the problems with 10.6.8?
Best regards
Wietse

Dear Dennis,
I tried the installation of 10.6.8 like you suggested. But still again I got the white screen. So I am now installing 10.6.2 and update it to 3,4,5,6 and 7. Waiting for the Lion version. Hope this will work better.

IMac suddenly shows white screen after update Yosemite to 10.10.1

The day after I installed the update(10.10.1) for Yosemite, regularly my iMac suddenly stops working by showing a white screen. After 10 seconds, the iMac reboots automatically and again shows a white screen. Than, it stops. No action. No noise. I'm always obliged to stop the iMac by pressing the start button and restarting by holding the 'shift' key otherwise I have to look at a white screen again! In the save modus, I can work(typing this story) and restart the iMac. After a while, the whole show starts again. What can I do? Installing Yosemite again and whiteout the update? Can I undo the update? This once, I made no backup before the update(Murphy's law). Any suggestion will do!

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.
5. Reinstall Yosemite from Scratch:
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
How to Clean Install OS X Yosemite
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
            because it is three times faster than wireless.

IPad4 occasional white screen after update to iOS7

Has anybody observed a intermittent "wake up" to a white screen on iPad4 following update to iOS7?
I had a perfectly working iPad4 (16Gb wifi) running iOS6 with no issues. I finally decided to update it to iOS 7.1.1 and ever since I have been having issue on wake up, either when opening the smart cover, pressing the home key or pressing the power button. The iPad just wakes and the screen is white/grey. And this will happen a few times when repeatedly tried and then it will wake up fine to the unlock screen. During this process, the iPad will be stationary on the desk. Other times it wakes as normal. Once it's woken as normal, it functions fine in all respects. It just seems to be associated with power up.
It seems to occur most when left for some time in sleep/standby mode
I have tried a factory reset/restore (via iTunes) but this has had no effect.
The iPad has not been dropped or knocked in any way since the update either so I don't see it being a physically caused issue - and as I mentioned, once it wakes as normal it functions as expected fully.
Sadly it is also outside the apple 1 year warranty period
I would be grateful of any ideas
Thanks

HI Barry,
THanks for the reply. That was the first thing I tried, before even a full iTunes restore.
I feel you are right and I will have to make an appointment at a genius bar. I wish I hadn't made the upgrade to iOS 7 as that's when it all has gone pear shaped.
THanks

Is it possible to restore Gamecenter after update and restore?? After update, tried logging into Gamecenter and it says that the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know..... by me!!!

One of my kids ipods needed an update. It wouldn't let me do it via the itouch (like the other 2 itouches did). I had to connect to the PC, sync, update and then restore. Once I did, the apps could be downloaded again via icloud (which wasn't on the itouch before) but progress on games that were through Gamecenter did not transfer. Tried logging into Gamecenter and it states the user name is already taken. Yeah, I know it's already taken, BY MY DAUGHTER!!! Apparently she has a dragon game app that she manages through Gamecenter that she has worked her way to level 22 and now it is all gone. It wants her to restart from level 1. I know this isn't life or death and not like losing work data etc. But to a 9 year old who has spent $40 of her own money on gems, coins etc....... this is the end of the world. LOL. I do want to try to help her, I just don't know how.

Thank you. After posting I started to search for Backflip studios and found this support id. I had meanwhile created a new nickname, very similar to the original one, and requested that they swap the advanced world to the new id. I sent this last Saturday evening. This morning (so effectively on their first workday after my request!) I received a kind response from Rachael that they had swapped the parks. Like your daughter my son couldn't believe his eyes. Thank you for your post, original and reply, I hope others will find it too and that Rachael can keep up such excellent support. It means a lot...

After updating and restoring to IOS5, i could not activate, because in Nepal i phone isworking with the gavey sim, how can i activate?

after updating to ios5 from ios4.3.3 , i could not activate because i am using Gavey sim with NTC( nepal telecom sim), now it asks for the original sim, which is not available in NEPAL, what to do? how can i activate Iphone4?

how old is the phone? was this the first time you are putting your sim in the iphone? if it is it might be locked to a previous carrier...if not, try to do a restore again and see if it picks up the sim card after. do the restore while the sim card is intact, and then not intact. otherwise, you'll might have to take it to an apple store to get it looked at.

HT1338 White screen after updating iMac with Mountain Lion

Since attempting to upgrade from Lion to Mountain Lion this morning I am seeing a white screen whenever I boot my iMac. It appears to be unable to boot. I left it 30 minutes with no activity on the screen before power cycling but the issue remains. I am hearing the "power on" sound when the iMac is powered up, but it simply stays on the white screen forever, without the Apple logo that we normally see.
I have a Time Machine backing up my iMac, but am unsure how I can restore from this as I am currently unable to get the iMac to boot.
Can someone tell me what I can do to get my iMac up and running?
Thanks....

Hey guys...
Just posted this potential solution over in the forum Clinton mentioned. Not sure if it's a proper fix, but it seemed to work for me.
Cheers...
Had my first experience with this just now. Shut down the MBPr for it's longest off time since getting it last week (about 6 hrs) and logged in to the BSOD.
My go-to solution on any other MacBook has always been the PRAM reset.
Restart your machine. Hold down CMD+OPT+P+R before the gray screen shows up (harder now than on the older, slower machines). Keep holding it down until the startup sound plays 2 or 3 times. Then release the keys and let it boot up normally.
No idea why this works. Don't have any clue what PRAM even is or what it would have to do with all this - but it worked for me. At least this time. Maybe it won't the next!
Hope it helps you all...

White screen after erasing and reinstalling OS X

HI there,
I have a 5 year old iMac that has been running perfectly up until a month ago. We had a power cut (not the first time the mac has been suddenly turned off), and after turning it back on I get the Apple logo and a progress bar for about 30 seconds before it turns into a white screen, with no cursor. I have called Apple 3 times about this issue and we have gone through all the steps you see in the forums here to solve this problem. Yesterday Apple told me to erase the HD and reinstall a fresh copy of OS X. I have everything backed up on time machine so I went ahead and did this. During the installation process I did not choose to transfer data from my external HD via time machine in case the problem i was having was due to something I had on my external HD. After installation was complete the computer restarted only for the white screen to appear again. I had to boot into safe mode to fully complete installation. After this was done, I restarted the computer only to encounter the white screen again. My question is, are there anymore steps I can take to resolve this problem, or is it time to take it to a Genius Bar?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
There's a few more things your can try. Press and hold Option + Command + P + R at the startup "Dong" and your computer will reboot again. When that is done Press and hold Command + V at the "Dong" and this will put the computer in verbose mode and allow you to see exactly what the computer is hanging up on while it is booting up.
