White screen not of death...

I just understood that I could possibly get answers for my problem here aand not on the syncing section...
"one day out of no where my screen becomes blue sky-ish on all the white writting or color on my screen... It was kind of annoying so I tried lightly pressing my screen but then the screen went all glitchy then the screen degraded then all white. I tried Restoring and Rebooting my iPod.
I dropped twice or trice but not higher than 30 cm off the floor... So is it my fault or is there something wrong my iPod 4th Gen.?
Oh and I took really good care of my iPod! My mom is ganna kill me if something is wrong about my iPod so I need a solution for this problem fast, unless it's a hardware problem?
Oh and I didnt jailbreak my iPod and I dont intend to."

More problems: I cant sync my iPod and each time I open iTunes, all my songs are deleted for some reason.

If a restore didn't help, it sounds like either the screen or logic board is bad.

White Screen (not of death) on wake-up

So the reason why I added "not of death" to this thread title is that generally the "white screen of death" implies that the apple device goes to a white screen more or less permanently. My issue, on the other hand, is slightly different. The issue is as follows:
- when attempts to wake up/turn on the ipod touch (32GB 4th gen), it goes to a white screen for a few seconds then goes back to sleep/turns back off
- the period during which the white screen is on varies from as few as 4 second, up to something like 15 seconds
- sometimes when reset attempts are made, the screen goes back to white, INSTEAD of going to the black silver apple screen (indicating that the reset/restart was successful)
- this phenomenon has become more frequent over the past few weeks since I've purchased the device (delivered 26 Dec. 2010).
- sometimes I still get a normal wakeup/startup with my device (going straight to the unlock screen), and by sometimes I mean something more like "seldom"
Another point of note is that I've never dropped my device or bumped it or knocked it around. I'd appreciate some help with this issue since it doesn't seem to be the same as other posters. This actually happened the 3rd time I used the device, but when I brought it back to the store it was working fine (go figure).
At this point, *my major question is whether or not I should bring it in to get it serviced or replaced*. Thanks ahead of time.

White screen & not able to sync

I have an ipod touch 1st gen. Just recently, I haven't been able to sync with itunes & my comp. doesn't recognise the ipod (no chime when I connect the ipod thru USB, itunes doesn't show the device as being connected). Also (and I'm not sure if it is related) but I just have a white screen (no apple). I'm unable to get the power slide to show up. I've tried the 5 r's, updated my itunes to the latest verison, even tried to charge using A/C adapter & nada! Not sure if it is a problem with the charging connecting thingy or if the battery is just so far gone. Advice would be greatly appreciated.

Yup. We have an itouch 2nd gene, ipod 80g classic & 3 nanos and no problems with those. Just the 1st gene itouch. The screen stays white for literally 2 secs, then goes to black. I don't even get the battery image or the apple image anymore. I think it's deader than dead.... LOL!

Iphone 4s white screen not responding

Hi,
So basically my phone got a bit of water damage a couple months ago - it was working fine for about 2 months, then I switched it off one day and it wouldn't switch back on; I was getting a white screen with black edges, that slowly come in so the whole screen becomes black (this can take at least a day), then for love nor money, the phone won't switch on. Siri will occasionally talk to me if I hold down the home button, but that's the only response I get (and I have tried switching the phone off and blindly swiping the screen to properly switch it off that way, it doesn't work), and then after a few days (the longest I've had to wait is 2 weeks) the phone will suddenly switch back on. However, even once it's on, the screen flickers constantly and I can't use my camera as that just crashes the phone. I know it's all because of the water damage, and Apple won't be able to fix it without a hefty fee, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem and has any kind of solution?! I've tried literally everything I can think of, and while I try and not let my phone die at all, and have my powerbank on me all the time, sometimes it just happens!
Anyway, I don't think there's much anyone can do to help, but any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Sorry, but if you want a working phone again, there is nothing more you can do than to choose the Out-Of-Service-Warranty option to get the device replaced by a refurbished phone. The water damaged the phone too much, and the symptoms might even get worse, especially if the phone is still powered on.

Iphone stuck at white screen, not recognised.

Hey guys, need some help on an iphone i bought off ebay.
It doesn't react to any buttons being pressed, and the phone lights up with a plain white screen when its plugged into a computer/charger.
You cannot turn the phone on/off or reset it. No buttons work.
I'm just curious if there is any way to fix this error.
Here is a link to a picture of the white screen.

White screen, not syncing with computer- tried holding buttons please help?

Please help. The screen of my daughters 4th gen ipod has frozen white. Have tried syncing the frozen ipod with computer but it is not recognised. I have treid holding home and sleep button at the same time but no change. Would be prepared to do a reset but the computer cannot recognise it. Have read various other responses to questions and am currently leaving the batteries to drain. None of this is helped by the fact that my daughter is sobbing about it in my ear! Ahhhhh

Phil, did you have a hard Saturday night? The ling you provided is for "regular" iPod, not iOS devises, You link stated:
"If you have an iPod touch, see iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows."

White Screen, NOT the shift-w issue

FCP 5.1.4 on an Intel Mac.
I have a slew of QT's in the sequence, that will work for a while, but then my sequence viewer will go to white. For no reason. At first I thought it was the shift-w thing, but once being conscious of it, I became aware of what I was doing. This just seems to happen. Saving out the project and re-launching the app fix the issue for the time being. The clips are all Motion Jpeg A.
Has anyone seen this issue before?
When it happens, I can cycle though the shift-w options and I can sometimes get the RGB+A (red) overlay, over the white, which becomes an burnt orange...
so weird.
any thoughts are welcome.

Ok found the answer on a previous post and this worked:
1. Open the QuickTime Preferences dialog. (On player, select edit then quicktime preferences)
2. Click on the Advanced tab.
3. Uncheck "Enable Direct3D video acceleration" (the 3rd checkbox under DirectX).
4. Click OK.
5. Close QuickTime.
6. Try to play the video again. Does it work this time? If not, repeat steps 1 and 2 and try selecting "Safe mode (GDI only)".

White Screen Not Codec Issue, AV Controls Adjustment

I have installed Quicktime 7.1 Player, Upgraded to Pro. When viewing files in the stand alone player (MOV,AVI, MP4), the video is all white. Selecting "window" then "show AV controls" and adjusting the video brightness to anything other than the default center position, the video plays clearly. Is there a fix to this issue? Can I save the 'adjusted' brightness so the video isnt always white to begin with?
Files viewed in Internet Explorer with the plug-in seem ok, this seems to just affect the stand alone player.

CC app has blank white screen, not downloading anything?

I just download the CC app to my Windows 8 laptop.
After going through all the steps, everything seemed fine.
But then I went to download the Adobe Flash [The animation program] trial version from the site, and the CC app pops up from my desktop, but it's just a blank white box.
On the main site it says:
Flash Professional is downloading now...
But NOTHING is showing any sign of it doing so on the site, downloads, or my computer.
I've never used this site before, and don't ever recall downloading Flash at home, only in school.
I search through my files/programs, and nothing related is there.
I appreciate any help.

White screen of death after installing Macfuse

I had a well running MacPro hexa 3.2 (upgraded from a quad 2.6G hz) under ML and since I needed to backup some files from an ext3 drive I looked up how to mount them.
The proposed solution was to install both OSXFuse and Fuse-ext2, which I did. I could access the file through a recovery utility, but it did not mount; since the guide suggested to restart in this case,
I did. And it started showing the white screen, not responding to startup DVDs, disconnecting, all possible known key combinations.
Unfortunately I don't have a boot USB key, but given the boot DVD does not work Indoubt it could help.
Any known solution?
Thanks in advance
Maurizio

Thanks, this worked. I knew this and I had connected to the front connectors, the back ones instead worked.
I booted in safe mode, and then I could reboot normally and it worked, but now the ext3 drive does not mount anyway. I find some folders with the name of the drive but there's a No access sign and they are given as 0 MB.
So, good I still have my machine working, but no ext3 backup yet. TO stay on the safe side now, I'm trying to see if I can find a Win XP driver on an old PC I don't care too much about...

but im wondering if there is anything i can do before i take it in on monday??
it is a Macbook pro (13 inch mid 2009) intel duo 2 core

circle23,
Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like the HD failed. Try inserting the OS X install Disc in the DVD drive this time re-starting holding down the Option Key. When it starts choose the OS X install Disc and allow it to get to the point where it asks what language. Then choose the Utilities menu and click the internal drive then check the S.M.A.R.T status of the drive, it should say Verified if it's OK. If it doesn't try repairing the disk several times and see if the S.M.A.R.T status changes. If it doesn't make an appointment here and take it in.

[solved] maximizing window results in white screen

hi, using xfce4 and gdm with nvidia driver (from Arch), 64 bit, using compiz
while in the GUI if i maximize a window, say Thunderbird, the app only shows a white screen. the window decorations are still there and i can restore it down and everything is fine, but when i maximize, white screen
not to post two problems in one thread, but im using emerald via compiz, but i would like to use gtk-window-decorator but if i change it, it does not stick. after a log out/log in it is changed back to emerald
i have tried different emerald themes and i still get the white screen. i think it only happens when the window is opened small to begin with. if it opens full screen i dont have that problem
Last edited by dodgefan (2011-07-19 03:57:39)

i think i figured this out, i was using the latest nvidia driver when i should have been using the 173xx series
