White Screen - Troubleshooting not working.. help?

Well, my 4G iPod Touch just recently white screened on me. I was in the middle of using an app, and it froze and turned white. I've tried all the troubleshooting suggestions, but none of them worked. When I tried to connect it to my computer, iTunes didn't recognize the device was plugged in. The screen is sort of warm, and it emits light, so does that mean it's still working? And if so, if I wait until the battery dies, will I be able to just charge it again and have everything work okay? Any help is appreciated.

Yes.  Wait for the battery to fully drain and then charge for an hour and try to get it to work and restore if necessary.  Frequently a white screen is due t a hardware problem though.

  • Screen suddenly not working, HELP!

    I've had my PC for a couple of years now and its never really had a problem. But recently the screen would stop working and the computer would make strange beep noises. after turning it on and off a couple of times it would go back to norman and work perfectly, so i never really worried about it.
    A few days ago the same thing happened but without the beeping. No matter how many times i restarted the screen wouldnt work, and i tried un-plugging everything and checked all the cables but still no change. Now im getting worried about it. I dont really know much about computers and i dont know any words about computers except the kepyboard and mouse, like really basic stuff. But i really need help to save this thing and i cant afford a new computer so please someone help it would be greatly appreciated! THANKYOU!!

    Hello MovesLikeJaeger,
    I understand that your computer will not boot.
    Here is a link to a document that will tell you what the beep code is.
    Let me know how everything goes.

  • ITunes Store 10.5 white screen issue, not working

    So I've had zero issues running the iTunes store on my Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit prior to the 10.5 update, and now all I get is a white screen. I can connect to the Store from my iPhone, iPod Touch, and laptop running Windows XP Professional with the SAME version of iTunes. I tried clearing out iTunes based on other discussions I've seen, IN ORDER, twice, and reinstalling. No dice. I've cleared my hosts file...same issue.
    The weird thing is that I can update Apps in iTunes on my PC, which connects to the Store and downloads just fine. I've made zero changes to my network router, port range filtering, and the Windows Firewall has always been disabled. I don't understand how every other device aside from my PC can connect to the Store on my wireless network, but not my PC all of a sudden. I've even tried logging in as the Administrator and clearing out my Local, LocalLow, and Roaming profile of anything related to Apple and iTunes after uninstalling iTunes and rebooting...no change.
    Something is wrong with this version running on Windows 7, period, and it needs fixed. I can't redeem codes except on my iPhone and it's rather annoying.

    i have the same problem. the store works on my windows vista and my ipod touch just not on my windows 7. i sent a msg to support and they told me to delete itunes,check if there are any updates on my computer and then reinstall itunes but still dont work and i tried it several time and it is really starting to make me realy ****** off. it all started ever sence the last update. i thought this new update would work but still nothig at all. 

  • Glowing white screen, reset not working

    my IPod touch won't respond to anything, I have browsed thru lots of help pages but nothing works.  I have a white glowing screen on my ipod touch and it won't hard reset, it won't connect to itunes on my computer, nothing happens or works.  what do I do now?  is it broken?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

    imac 21inch 2010 on boot vertical green lines then white screen ,will not load can anyone help please

    Howdy carliosa,
    If your iMac is not starting up normally you may need to do some checking to make sure things are working correctly. I would suggest starting with the steps in this article -
    Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Maverick update now my login screen does not work please help.

    Hello hope you can help.  I have a 24 inch Mid 2007 Intel iMac.  It has been great until now.  I recently did the Maverick update and now my login screen does not work.  When I wake the computer up the screen appars with my picture icon.  When I click on it nothing happens.  If I click on it a second or third time the beach ball appears and nothing happens.  I have to shut the unit down with the power button and when the unit powers back up everything works normally.  Are there any suggestions out there?  I have updated the software without resolution. Is this computer too old?   Do I have to buy a new one?
    Thank you

    Your iMac can support Mavericks according to the requirements > OS X Mavericks: System Requirements
    Try a Safe Mode boot. That deletes some system caches that may help.
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    See if there's an improvement for the login screen.

  • My USB port (closest to the screen) is not working? And what is an IR Receiver in my USB port?

    Hi everyone,
         I recently found out that my USB port, closest to my screen, is not working. Before I called Apple Care for help, I performed a PRAM and a SMC RESET, which unfortunately did not work. I called Apple Care and they help me troubleshoot simple resets such as, shutdowns and restarts. The representative I spoke with conluded that the physical hardware has an issue and must be brought to the Apple Store for a diagnosis. I called the Apple Store to at least budget the fee for getting a USB port fixed and it's about $300.00. I never dropped my macbook or had any sort tactile encounterment with hard surfaces by dropping or hitting. I don't understand how my macbook pro would be physically damaged. I then thought maybe my software was out of date (right now I am running 10.9 Mavericks) or I forgot to do the minor software updates, but I was at a lost again because my macbook is up-to-date. I searched for further help and found a way to monitor what's plugged into my usb ports. (I read in the apple forums that a girl had nothing in her usb ports, but upon looking at the System Information> Hardware> USB, that the macbook recognizes that there are drives in the ports) I looked at my ports; one is being used by wirless mouse (the port that works) and the other (the port that doesnt work) is being used by an "IR RECEIVER". Now, is the IR Receiver actually using that port and that's why my macbook cannot recognize other devices inserted into that port? Or is the IR RECEIVER suppose to be in that port and that the hardware for that port is simply damaged (which would mean I need $300.00 to get that fixed)? I know this is a lot, but someone help me?

    I can help with the "IR Receiver" part of your question. That's the piece of hardware inside older MacBook Pros (MBPs) that lets them work with the Apple Remote. "IR" is the standard abbreviation for "infrared," the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum used by remotes for many common devices (stereos, cable boxes, Apple TVs, etc.). The remote sends a coded stream of IR pulses; a corresponding receiver in the target device "sees" the infrared light and decodes it. The MBP's internal IR Receiver sends the received signals to the processor via USB through an internal hub.
    The most recent MacBook Pros have dropped the IR receiver and no longer work with the Apple Remote.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outline in the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Try each of these in order until the problem is resolved.  If you've been through all these steps and the trouble persists, you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for evaluation.  Be sure to make an appointment first at the Genius Bar so you won't have a long wait.
