White screen of death but can see screen when hold down power button?

I've had my iPod Touch 4g for a few months (in December it will be a year) and for the past two months, I haven't been able to use it because of the white screen of death. I tried reseting it, restoring it (which didn't work because of error 1394 or something like that) and NOTHING seemed to work. Today, I decided to try restoring it again, and it worked!...for all of two hours.
Now I have the white screen of death but it shows the screen if I lightly hold down the power button (not enough that it clicks).
I've tried restoring it again, but it stays the same- white screen of death that shows the screen when I lightly hold down the power button.
Can anyone help me :\

Contact Apple and get it replaced/serviced.

  • My MacBook Pro crashes, can only start by holding down Power Button. Disk Repair didn't help.

    I can get it started when I hold the button down, but then it's extremely slow. What can I do? I ran disk repair yesterday, then it worked fine, right until it just crashed an hour ago while I tried to wake it from 'sleep mode'.
    I thankfully got to update my Time Machine on my external harddrive yesterday when I finally got it working.
    Anyone who can tell if there's anything I can do to get it up and running again?

    If this started happening without your having made any changes and without a warning of low disk space, then it's likely that the boot drive is failing, or that there's some other hardware fault. Run the Apple Hardware Test or Apple Diagnostics.
    Even if the test is negative, you should make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested more thoroughly.

  • Macbook stuck on blue screen and cant turn it off even by holding the power button.

    Bought a refurbished macbook and it arrived today. was enjoying it for a while then i decided to reboot to get the new OS. I came back to it a minute later and there was a blue screen with the loader on it. Its been in this state for hours now and i cant reboot by holding the power button so i have no idea how to actually do anything. At the moment im leaving it running in its current state hoping it will all be sorted once the battery has run out. ANY help appreciated as i cant find anything whatsoever in forums that has any relation to my problem!!!

    More details bud... WHAT MBP version do you have? What movie player are you using....? Is it a AVI MP4 MKV? IS it a DVD???

  • Can't see Playlists but can see songs when using iTunes in iPhoto

    When I make a slideshow in iPhoto and try to select a playlist I made in iTunes, I can't see the playlists. I can see individual songs, but the playlists don't show up. I get the window with Sample, Garage Band and then iTunes, but there are no sub-categories under iTunes and none appear when I make the window larger. I'm a new mac user, so am I missing something obvious?

    I have the same issues since I upgraded to iTunes 7. I dont even see the iTunes playlist in the iWeb. Any help/information is appreciated.

  • Kernel panic, "must restart" screen, but holding down power button does nothing! Need to wait until battery runs out???

    Help! While doing workaday tasks on my 15" MacBook Pro with 10.6, I got the dreaded slowly unfolding darkened screen with the message "You need to restart your computer. Hold down the power button until it turns off." Kernel panic, I guess.
    In the past, in the few times this has ever happened to me, I held down the Power button as instructed, and the Mac turned off.
    HOWEVER, this time around, holding down the Power button does absolutely nothing! It doesn't make the computer turn off, no matter how long I hold it down, nor if I try holding it down in combination with other keys.
    Needless to say, the OS is completely frozen otherwise, and no keyboard or trackpad actions have any effect.
    And since this is the new kind of MacBook Pro -- there's no way to remove the battery!
    So, is the only solution, to unplug it from the power supply and simply wait for 8 hours (or whatever) until the battery runs out of juice? Say it ain't so!
    (I'm writing this on someone else's computer, needless to say.)
    I NEED access to my computer's files TODAY for important work-related matters. Am I out of luck, or is there some secret way to get this darn thing turned off and restarted?

    I recently had my iphone 4s screen repaired because the screen was cracked. It was all ok and then a few weeks later something strange happened. My touchscreen works, but the screen doesnt show, you can see the light in the background but no picture? has anyone got any ideas as to what the problem is, is it self-repairable or even repairable at al?

    The LCD Display connector has partially come loose from the logic board connector, and simply needs to be pressed back down into place. Or the front screen assembly is now faulty, and needs to be replaced again.

    Restore, if iTunes will let you.  Everything except the password will be restored.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  Be forewarned that it takes a long time.  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."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.
