  • Email not opening This is a sudden thing, Email had been working fine for two months then today would not stay open now it will not open at all. after trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes

    Email not opening on my iPad2 This is a sudden thing, email had been working fine since purchasing the device then today would not stay open,  now it will not open at all. After trying to open mail I receive a white screen for a nano second and the app closes.

    Have you tried closing the Mail app completely ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • White Screen on iPod nano 6th gen

    my iPod nano 6th generation is appearing with a white screen. i have tried the restore, but nothing has changed. what can i do ?

    Get your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.  For pricing on repairs done by Apple, see the link below.   If you live near an Apple store, I would set up an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them take a look at it as well.

    For third party repair centers, you can use Google to help you locate a desirable one to do the job.

  • White screen on ipod nano

    Hi.
    I bought my mum a ipod nano (4th Gen - the one without camera on the back) for her birthday but for some reason the screen keeps going white.
    It has definately not had water damage as it is not red in the ipod jack.
    It is over a year old, is there anything I can do?
    I havent tried restoring etc because it appears to be a hardware fault - not software.
    How hopeful should I be if I take it into an Apple store?
    Thanks.
    Paul

    It might be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display as you are already aware, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

    Hello all,
    I have a 14.88G iPod Nano that I currently use as my primary watch. A week or so ago I started to experience a blank white screen when I press the "sleep/wake" button instead of the watch face (I have it set to wake from sleep to display the clock). When I hard reset it, it will come back fine and the screen will respond and work as normal, as soon as I manually put it to sleep by pressing the "sleep/wake" button and then try to wake it the same thing happens and I have a blank white screen that doesn't respond to touch gestures or anything.
    What I have tried so far to no avail:
    Numerous hard restarts (holding the "sleep/wake" button with the volume - button).
    Tried this: iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    Changed the watch face to display.
    Recharged the device overnight (without full discharge).
    Since none of this works I'm out of ideas. Eventhough I have a 6G Nano it should no longer be under warranty since I was sent it as a replacement for a different (older) product.
    Any ideas? Is this a known problem? Thanks in advance for any insight any of you could provide. Also, what time is it??
    Regards,

    Hey,
    I have the exact same problem as you have described. I also used my ipod as a watch but starting from today, whenever I unlock it the screen turns white until a reset is done. Even a factory reset through itunes didn't fix it.
    Have you found any solution?
    Bah, this is annoying.

  • Ipod nano 2nd gen either gets white screen or apple icon but is recognized by itunes! What now

    So I have done the reset steps and I will either get the white screen or the apple icon with 2 audible beeps. The Ipod does show up in Itunes, however I cant play music. I dont know if it has been dropped or not as I am doing a favor for a friend. I was able to restore the ipod via Itunes as well but Im stuck here. I dont know how to put in disk mode when I cant see anything on the screen except the white screen or the apple icon. Any Ideas as what to do next or is this Ipod done?

    I also have a 2nd generation, which I purchased after my ipod Shuffle stopped updating. We plugged it in, followed the instructions but the Nano was not recognised by my PC, however, my nano does get recognised on my husband's pc. My daughters ipod and my old shuffle both are still recognised on my pc. I need to delete the shuffle, as it is faulty, but more importantly, I need to get my pc to recognise the nano. Please help.

  • 6th gen ipod nano has white screen and won't go into disc mode

    My ipod nano has a white screen - it will play music, and it is recognized by itunes. It won't enter disc mode. I can't seem to find any other helpful steps to follow online other than put it into disc mode and restore it via itunes. When I attempt to put it into disc mode holding power/Vol down together the screen will turn back, but when I then hold down Vol down/Vol up together while the screen is dark it just goes back to white screen. I did plug it into the computer and restore it via itunes, and the screen is still white.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

    Hi LizS5,
    It sounds as if you have already done much of the troubleshooting suggested in this article, but I would suggest you work through it in order to get your iPod nano back up and running -
    iPod nano (6th generation): Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3474
    Specifically -
    Try putting the iPod into disk mode:
    Reset the device (press the Sleep and Volume Down buttons simultaneously until the display turns black—about eight seconds).
    When the display turns black, hold down the Volume Down and Volume Up buttons simultaneously until the device enters Disk mode.
    While the device is in disk mode, sync it to iTunes and try to restore.
    And if the issue is not resolved -
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • IPod Nano white screen of death - RESURRECTED! :D

    Alright, here's the deal...A friend of mine has a new iPod Nano and gave it to me because it had stopped working, and was hoping it was worth something to recover. Sorry about the long story!
    It _wouldn't_ turn on. But, when connecting it to the computer via the USB dock cable, it comes on for a few seconds on a grey-whitish screen. Then turns back off, reboots, and tries again. Step 1 step 2. Nothing.
    Although, 'Diagnostics mode' or whatnot it is, does work however. It would still be a faint grey screen, but whiter and more vibrant, as if it's saying "Hey, I'm alive! I'm alive!!!" and I can go through settings and make it (sometimes) change colors, and reboot the iPod.
    I was thinking since iTunes never recognized it (It was plugged in the whole time) that I would drown in just for the sake of it.
    Well, 3 hours later after attempting to kill the poor thing, it... resurrected itself.
    I'm serious, it really seems to have unbelievably done it. When turning it on, I get 2 beeps, but no restart loop, the LCD stays on the white screen though, BUT, here's the good thing.
    NOW, I hear the system 'click' sounds when using the buttons and such that it's going through the menu, good news so far! It seems like it because after the 'boot' sequence (it appears to boot very fast, strangely).
    The good thing is (kinda) https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1517571?start=0&tstart=0 ... So I suspect that somehow, this method of submerging it under water, letting it dry, blowdrying it, and then leaving it in the heat, somehow restored the SD chip inside of it... possibly only for now... I'm going to use this moment to hopefully get all data off the device, and see for one last time if it's fully restorable...
    I have the power! Ok, so I hooked it up to the wall charger (just put the wall connector on the USB cord) and it now beeps two times, and after about 30 seconds or so, I get to the main menu, screen still white, but I can certainly hear the click letting me know I'm 'navigating' the iPod. It doesn't appear to have any music on it, or maybe it does, but I need to connect some earphones first. Or, it supposed to be display the 'sad iPod' icon, but I just don't see it, therefor, I'm blind as to the status of it.
    I likely guess it's the battery, since every time I disconnect it, it goes dead. Yep, just looked back, still on. Yep, still menu clicking. Yep, I can start it with no problems now. Any clue what I can try to do to resolve this? Obviously it's turning on, and it seems to be doing something, it boots, (apparently) so that's a good sign.
    Please, is there any hope at all in this iPod?  At all?
    AND, IT JUST BEEPED 2 TIMES AGAIN! And I was just typing... why did it do this? (Funny thing is, how it still works!) Is that really the menu button clicking? That would explain it, I mean it only plays the menu clicking sound AFTER about 30 seconds of it 'booting' to the iPod firmware, so it obviously has some sort of life to it. If I hook up my earphones... Holy Mac! I hear music! It's alive!!! It's alive!!! Oh my man!!! Yes!
    It has hope, in a way!
    Atleast, I hope, but it works! Freaking amazing! Jamming to some awesome beats right now, some cool hip hop, sound quality you ask? Great, actually! I don't know how, don't want to know, but it seems trying to kill this iPod actually resulted in it being resurrected? How? Who knows! This is awesome! iPod truly CAN have 2 lives, I guess!
    Cool stuff, I swear on that! My favorite song was on here too!
    How to adjust the volume on the iPod Nano? I don't care, it's playing at full volume, and it's awesome!
    The sad thing is, it still has the white screen of death, and the battery is apparently fried still (or needs a good 24-hour charging).
    This iPod has been sitting dead as a dud in the storage room for a good 1 year or so, unused. And now it came back to life in a flash. Unbelievable.
    I love you Apple.

    Your problem was moisture. It was wet inside and sitting around for a year let it all dry up.
    If you get this kind of thing happening, speed the process up by putting the iPod into a zip lock baggie with a dessicant (you know those little silica pouches) or even some rice to absorb the moisture. Let it sit for a few days and it should dry it all out.

  • IPod Nano (6th gen.): White Screen saying "OK to disconnect." when not connected.

    My 6th Generation iPod Nano (Dopi is his name) took an unfortunate ride through my washing machine a few weeks back (one of the draw backs of it being so small and lightweight... it can sometimes elude the quick pre-laundry pocket check). At first, it was okay. I immediately threw it into a ziploc bag full of rice to pull all the moisture out of it. The screen was a little blotchy for a while, but it eventually seemed to work out all the kinks and was back to full operation within 12 hours. I was using it fairly regularly after that for the next couple days with no issues.
    A few days later, my iPod was getting low on fuel and had a "Connect to Power" screen on it. So I plugged it into my iMac, and everything was working fine, I started to manage some playlists in iTunes while it charged, and that's when I noticed the screen was odd.  Instead of the usual "Do Not Disconnect" screen that I'm used to, the screen had an all-white background, with a black "Do Not Disconnect." message on it.  I thought it was odd. But I ejected it, and it said "Ok to disconnect." with a black checkmark. Same white background, black text. (also a black battery life icon in the top right corner)  I disconnected, and it just told me to connect to power, again.
    Finding that weird, I let the iPod's power completely drain, figuring that would fix the issue. It did not.  As soon as I plugged it back in, the white screen came back.  I let it power up to full, and after I eject and disconnect it, the "OK to disconnect" screen comes back, even after I've disconnected, and it stays there.  I can't operate anything on it. 
    I've tried everything I know how to do:  I've let the power drain, and recharged to full. I've tried resetting it. I tried restoring it to factory settings. And I tried to reset it and put it into disk mode, but the black and white "OK to disconnect." screen comes back before I can even get it into disk mode.
    Before I restored to factory settings, I could still manage all the files on my iPod. I could add songs, remove them, make playlists and everything when I had it connected to iTunes, I just can't do anything with the iPod itself. So, my little Dopi is in a coma right now. He's still alive, he just won't wake up.  I don't want to pull the plug on him. 
    Any suggestions?  Anyone else have this problem?
    It's not easy for me to get to an Apple Store, so I thought I'd try this before I take it to any geniuses.

  • IPod Nano 6th Gen - Functional but white screen on pressing wake/sleep button

    Hi
    I have an iPod Nano 6th Gen (out of warranty & applecare) - hasn't been dropped etc & never had any trouble.
    This morning I got the white screen after unplugging it from charging.
    I have tried hard reboot (power button + vol down). I have put it into disc mode (hard reboot + both volume buttons) and restored it to factory settings from itunes (10.6.3) . I've even put it into diagnostic mode and looked around to see if there were any tests I could do.
    Functionally the ipod works ok - plays music, volume changes, and it will shuffle on shaking/ play pause on double pressing the power button.
    The problem is when I switch off the screen by pressing the power button once - if I try to switch the screen on again I only get the white screen (although this doesn't affect music playing etc).
    The way to get around this is either doing a hard reboot (which is a pain as it removes all my settings) or by switching off the ipod, waiting 5 minutes, then switching it on again (this preserves my settings). If I switch off the ipod and try to switch it back on within 5 mins, it's straight to the white screen.
    The only other odd thing I noticed was that the screen was shaky/jolty and graphics not quite lining up etc, but this only lasted 10s and went once I started playing music...
    Any ideas as to what is causing this? I'm guessing maybe a hardware problem but it seems strange that there is no white screen on switching on, just from waking.
    It was a present from my dad and I'm very fond of it so would like to keep it/fix it if possible!
    Thankyou!

    Hello bfsf,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that your iPod nano (6th generation) displays a white screen after waking from sleep. First let my say that you have completed some great isolation and troubleshooting steps on your own. Because the issue is still present after the fantastic troubleshooting you already completed, it may be necessary to have this iPod evaluated for service. If you would like more information on this process, please read over the information in the attached link.
