Why is my Ipod blinking from a black screen with the apple in center to a white screen?

When I turn on my Ipod Touch it blinks from the regular black screen with the white apple in the middle to a white screen.  Any suggestions?

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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipad 2 (ios 6.1.2) continuously drops wifi and every few minutes, i receive tha black scrren with the apple... Any ideas on resolving?  It is VERY frustrating!   If it helps, wifi is connected to our secured home internet.

    Help......every few mins my wifi disconnects AND i rec the black display with the apple.... Any ideas to resolve?  I am connected to secured home internet and have not connected to cellular svc.

    Try #5.
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.

  • Today, randomly my iPhone 5 stopped working. It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.PLEASEHELP

    It has been on this black screen with the apple logo and some small white writing at the top of the screen for many hours. I've tried rebooting it and connecting to iTunes but nothing has worked.
    PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

    It likely means there was still water inside it and something has now shorted out and permanently damaged one or more components.  THE very worst thing you can do with wet electronics is energize them - even a small drop of water inside on any of the circuitry or electrical contacts can cause catastrophic damage.
    Take it to Apple for a free evaluation, but most likely you will need to replace it.  For the out of warranty fee ($269.00 USD) you will get a refurbished replacement (like new, with a factory new screen and battery).  An out of warranty replacement will also re-instate your remaining warranty, or 90 days warranty, whichever is longer.

  • Why does my iPod keep crashing and get stuck on the apple screen?

    My iPod has crashed and gotten stuck on the apple screen multiple times now, I think three or four times. I take really good care of it and charge it alot.

Thankyou for any input!

  • Why has Mountain Lion disappeared from my Purchased List in the Apple Store?

    When Mountain Lion came out, I purchased the upgrade and installed it one one of my MacBook Pros.  Today I wanted to download it again on my other MacBook Pro and install it there.  It doesn't show up in my "Purchased" apps in the Apple Store.  
    I had some serious system errors a few months ago, took this MacBook Pro into the local Apple Store and they reloaded Mountain Lion for me.  Did not erase the purchase history?   I really need to upgrade the other MacBook Pro. 
    Help?  Someone who knows the solution to this, please respond quickly.
    Thanks,
    veehbj

    Barney,
    Problem solved.  I called Apple Care and was on hold with three different people, but they finally got me to someone who could check my previous Apple IDs.  I had downloaded it under a different Apple ID than I'm now using.  When Apple changed from me.com to iCloud.com I found the transition very confusing.  At that time I changed my apple ID from just a five letter ID to that same five letters with an @me.com after it, [email protected]  I had forgotten how that went as the conversion was confusing to me. It wasn't necessary for me to change my Apple ID.  Now I have two.
    So, I logged in with just the XXXXX and was able to get into my previous Apple account and there were seven apps there listed as purchased, including Mountain Lion.
    So, I'm now downloading the Mountain Lion upgrade App on my wife's MBP and it is coming down, slowly.  It's going to take an hour or more to download 4.44 GBytes (probably a couple of hours as I remember from the first time I did this).
    So, thanks for your trying to help solve this riddle.  I've given you a Star that you helped me.  Do appreciate your help and sticking with me the past hour or so.
    I was impressed with Apple Care.  They really tried hard to help me.  Almost made the cost to put this MBP under Apple Care worth it (over $300).  Sad thing is that I spent over three hours saving $20.  Should have just purchased the Mountain Lion upgrade again under my wife's Apple ID.  Lesson learned.

  • My sister's iPod Touch 4G has blacked out and the Apple with the slice is dissapearing and re-appearing. The Lock button doesn't work and it won't cut on at all so iTunes isn't connecting to it. What do I do?

     

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    When it says place in recovery mode use one of these programs:
    For PC
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    For MAC or PC
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    - 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.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Why when I log in to my virtual classroom with the admin account it appears a white screen?

    The meeting room is: meet18787284.adobeconnect.com
    The admin account it is e******@*******.net
    It appears a white screen like the image I attached
    Which number can i dial to have asistance from México?
    The number in the oage is 800-422-3623  i tried with 00,01,001,+1 and it didn´t connect kepp saying the number doesnt exist

    The link shown in your image is to the Service Plan page for the Connect account (which most likely shows as a white page or throws an error). The server URL you listed above is active and working, but you may just need to log into the server, and then select the desired meeting room. Meeting room URLs should have something after your server URL, for example: meet18787284.adobeconnect.com/myroom

  • Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?

    Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?  How do I get this to stop?  I have already done a factory restore and then reloaded my music onto this iPod. 

    I had this problem after upgrading to iOS4, but didn't discover it until I got to the gym and went to start my workout! No music (except the stuff they play at the gym) meant a short workout for me!
    I figure that the glitch comes from the fact that when you upgrade to iOS4 iTunes takes a backup of your iPod, does the firmware update and then puts the backed up content back on, I'm thinking that there are some subtle differences between iOS3 and iOS4 that cause confusion.
    THE FIX! I have found that the best fix (in fact the best course of action) is to restore the iPod from iTunes (just hook it up and hit the "Restore" button and tell iTunes to treat it as a new iPod. Then just re-sync all your content and it should work perfectly. It is a much easier way of getting your iPod updated without as many glitches.
    HTH!!
