White Screen , Tried Hard Reset / Restore.

I opened my ipod touch but after i put it back i got a white screen and i tried everything from hard reset to restoring the ipod. please help. i never tried draining the battery but i am not sure how to do that with the screen white. Please HELP!!!
BTW i also tried the volume up+home + power button method. after all those reset, restore, methods i always get a black screen. Never a Apple Logo.
PLEASE HELP !!!

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  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.

    white screen tried to reset it but it keeps coming up low battery but have been charging it...anyone help

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

  • Black screen - tried hard reset & cannot install software

    So this is awesome... What a crapper.
    My screen had started to screw up. Get messed up like a bad TV reception. Then it went all white. Now it's completely black and I can't answer phone calls or anything.
    I tried the hard reset. Also tried sticking a paperclip in the hole at the bottom. Tried installing the software (Mac), but it opens up into just a grey screen.
    So... besides calling Tech Support and sending my phone off (which I don't know how that'll go, cause I can't find my warranty info), what can I do? 

    In order to install the software, you will need access to a Windows based PC. The only thing available for Mac's are PocketMac to sync info to a Mac.
    If you purchased your phone brand new from your carrier less then a year ago, it should be under warranty still. Call your carrier and ask them howmuch time you have on your warranty.

  • My i phone screen is white, i tried the reset, then the restore - it worked for about 15 minutes now i have the white screen again. please advise

    My iphone had a white screen - i did reset then restore, it worked for a while during the restore process, but it now back to white/pink screen. Please advise

    There are no more user troubleshooting steps available. Make an appointment at any Apple store. Sounds like a hardware failure, & if so you will be offered an out of warranty exchange. Cost is US $149.

  • I recently when to England.  When I returned to the US, my iPhone 5 wouldn't find the 4G network.  I've tried restoring network settings, I've tried hard resets.  I finally wiped the phone, and now, it won't let me restore anything.  Help!

    I had "do not disturb" on in England. I did take it off airplane mode periodically, but I never actually used the network.  I stuck to local wifi to do brousing and a bit of messaging.  It periodically told me I was on an English network, but I didn't actually use it.  And I had data roaming shut off all together. 
    when I try to restore, I get this message:
    Your iPhone could not be activated because the activation server is temporarily unavailable.  Try connecting your iPhone to iTunes to activate it, or try again in a couple of minutes.  If this problem persists, contact Apple Support at apple.com/support.
    When I try it through iTunes, I get a similar message.

  • Camera is freezing up on a brand new ipad mini.  Any fixes to try?  I have tried hard resetting it.

    The camera on one of our devices is not working.  It opens but then is frozen.  I have tried hard resetting the device but has not helped.  This is a brand new mini that we just received.

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

    Hello,
    I had that problem as well and the apple support suggested to turn off the LTE-mode to have a running system and try to exchange the micro-sim by my provider.
    THAT was not an option!
    BUT it seems to solve my problem in the following way after trying a lot of possibilties:
    In the menue properties/help (don't know the exact english word, because I run my phone in german)
    I switched on the nice feature 'flash LED' by incomming calls, msgs, and push infos.
    Today the flash feature was responding to different push notes very slowly.
    By switching this feature off the LTE-mode-tochscreen-not-responding-problem disappeared.
    We tried this on a other iphone, not having the metioned problem, and switched the LED-flash:
    the problem appeared. Switching the LED-flash off: problem disappeared!
    It seems to be a bug that the LED will hint Calls and MSGs in combination with the LTE mode!
    treated my phone very hard today to double check, but its still ok.
    @Apple:
    Please fix that issue in the next update.
    Hope, this helps you guys as well.

  • White Screen - Hard reset, restore doesn't work

    So my iphone just passed it's warranty by 11 days. It is a 3G 8gb. I noticed the white screen thing and googled it. I found out how to do a reset with the home button and power, did that. Fixed it for a brief few minutes. Then white screen again. So I did the restore in itunes. Fixed it for a few minutes, then white screen again. All the functions of my phone work fine. I don't think I have ever dropped the thing. It has a hard case. Anyways, i can play with the phone by trying to bend it and the white screen disappears and goes back to normal. Then the slightest touch will set it back to white. Very strange, its very touch sensitive and I can manipulate it to get it to clear sometimes. My question is what is causing this and can it be fixed without going through apple? I pretty much have to buy a new phone, but upgrade to 3Gs isn't possible for 6 months. Thanks

    If an iPhone reset, restoring with iTunes from your iPhone's backup, and restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup does not resolve it, I don't believe you have another option besides going through Apple.
    Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange which will include a warranty.
