iPod screen problems
I have an iPod like this: 
.
My screen is only WHITE.
I can't look at my song list, can't put it on repeat, shuffle or any of that.
Help, please.

Re: iPod screen problems
I'm not much in the fields of ipods but... maybe it's bricked? I'd recommend getting a certified Apple technician to check it out... or your big brother if you have one 
I don't know why you say goodbye, I say hello!

Re: iPod screen problems
u don't really need to get tech support... my ipod does that sometimes too (except i have an older ipod)... all u do is hold the menu and center buttons untill it restarts

Re: iPod screen problems
i have a IPod nano 5th gen and mine just shuts itself down all the time 
i hate it when it does that. Anyway either do what nathanprocks says or plug it into the computer and that should help.
Yes i miss you. Just incase you started to care or something.

Yes, press the top botton and the menu button at the same time, it worked with mum's iphone so I see no reason it shouldn't with your ipod touch

this is an ipod nano not an iphone... they have different buttons... and i thought pressing the the top button and the menu button on ios takes a screen shot

Re: iPod screen problems
Hit it.
Well if you wanted honesty, that's all you had to say. I never want to let you down or have you go, it's better off this way.

Re: iPod screen problems
You'll get the best support if you post the question on PodTricks.
Anyways, just hold the Menu + Center buttons to force reset it or let it die and recharge.

Sorry, I didn't see this topic for a while. Thanks, WNT, I'll try it when I get home. Does that wipe all my music off?
No. It doesn't cause any data harm at all. It's just like letting your battery die and then putting it on a charger: it makes the iPod reload iFirmware (what I call the firmware for click-wheel iPods) again and usually kicks it out of the WSOD.
