- First reset the iPod. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next connect the iPod to your computer and restore viaiTunes. P{lace the iPod in Recovery mode via iTunes if necessary to restore.

  • Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

    Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

    I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
    My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

  • Ipod touch screen is black and wont start up, help please

    My ipod touch has a black screen and wont respond. HOw can I restart it?

    Hold the sleep button and home button for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears. If it's not showing, plug your iPod into a power source to ensure the battery isn't completely flat.

  • 1st generation iPod touch-screen stays black

    I have a 1st generation iPod touch, but it's impossible to turn it on. I've tried pushing the home- and lock screen-button at the same time, and I've tried charging it, but the screen stays black. What else can I do?

  • Why is ipod touch background always black?

    I'm not sure if this is a problem with my iPod, or just the way it's supposed to work.
    I've got what I think is a second generation iPod Touch (chrome back plate, and no camera).
    Version: 4.2.1 (8C148)
    Model: MB531LL
    I set the "wallpaper" to the same default background as I have in my iPhone - the gray colored background with bubbles all over.
    On the iPhone, this works fine.
    On the iPad, the background remains black.
    Is there a different setting I need to use?  I think I've done everything right, and even reset the iPod to "new", but the background behind all my apps is still a solid black color.

    Changing the home screen background is not a feature of the second gen ipod touch.

  • IPOD touch Screen is blacked out. I charges and itunes recognizes it, only the screen remains black. Is there any way to fix this Problem. I have the latest software update and I restored it several times, but screen remains blacked out.

    My IPOD touch 4th gen screen does not display.  The software seems to be working and itunes recognizes the device.  I have restored it and reset the IPOD several times but the screen is still black.  What can I do to fix it? your help is very much appreciated. I do not have access to an apple store since I am stationed in Afghanistan. 

    If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod (you did not say the type of restore your performed) and are still having the problem that indicates a hardware problem. An appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order..

  • IPod Touch Screen Negative Black

    Well I just got an 8gb Touch from Costco yesterday.
    I tried it out, and I'm about 70% sure I have one of the defective screen where the black is showed wrong.
    Is there any Official or real way to test if you have the defective screen.
    Also can I go to my Apple store (Even though I bought it at Costco) and have them test it, and replace if I do have the defective one?
    Thanks,
    -Ryan

    From what I can see my Ipod is a week 40 One. It starts (Number)(Letter)740 then the rest. From what I can see the 40 is the week 40 etc.
    Anyway, From what I can see my touch passes the color test thing (Figure A)
    Figure B it failed because I can BARLEY make out the black row.
    Figure C it COMPLETLY failed, I cant see ANY squares on my ipod until number 8. All the squares before are not even there, or they are exact color as background.
    Figure D it passed because there is no blue when I get white colors.
    The only reason I am worried is because it totally failed figure C.
    Should I take it into my Apple Store and can they check somehow?

  • My iPod touch screen has blacked out on me and i cannot unlock it or anything and if i try to restore it or resync it still stays black. What do i do?

    Please help

    Is it still charging? If yes, let it charge for about 10min, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If this is not working, or the iPod does not charge anymore, you'll have to get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store next to you:

    I'm bustin' your chops.  Some call it humor, some don't have a sense for it....
    The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done.  However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
    The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
    My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two.  Guess I was wrong....  But at least now I know why you have a picture of a box of rocks for your avatar....

  • Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?, why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    Why is my ipod touchs screen blank?

    how do you mean? does it not turn on? or is it on but nothing booting up?
    If it doesn't turn on is it possible that the battery is totally drained? if so, charge it fora  while and see if that fixes it. If it doesn't boot up you can try resetting it - hold down the sleep and home keys, past the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple logo come up.
    You can also try restoring it with iTunes.
    If that doesn't work then you may need to take it into the Apple store and have them take a look at it.
