3rd generation ipod white screen

I know it's old, but working well... so far.  White screen.  It is recognized by itunes when plugged into the computer.  Restored successfully on the itunes screen, always white.  Tried the fix with holding home and power button.  Tried to hold the House, volume and power.  Screen remains white.

My question - is all hope gone and I must finally remove this ipod?  It's been great and it's a sudden death - hard to see it go.

Thanks for any help...

The 3rd gen iPod "classic" has a great sound.  If you tried to do a restore already, its likely to be a hardware problem, unfortunately.

These older iPods are easier to repair because they are assembled from items separated and not so integrated and miniaturized.  My work 3rd generation iPod was reassembled broken iPods that I bought on eBay, by swapping pieces.  The screen is not the thing that is broken, most of the time.  If you are somewhat technically inclined, you can remedy.  You can post back for more information.

  • My iPod Nano has a white screen with messages I've ever seen

    Hello

    I'm having a problem connecting my iPod Nano (5th generation 8 GB) to my Macbook Pro (mid-2009 with El Capitan OS). I tried to restore my iPod nano with iTunes. Restore failed, and my iPod Nano screen has changed to a white screen with a message "do not disconnect". I couldn't eject the device, so I had to unplug the iPod with this message that appears. When I disconnected the iPod a black check mark appears on the white screen with a message "Ok to disconnect". The only way to get this message go away is to lock the screen of the iPod nano, and then unlock it. Then I press and hold the Center button and menu button simultaneously for 8 seconds and the Apple logo appears. Then shortly after, a "Use iTunes to restore" message on the iPod nano. I reconnect the iPod on my Mac and the white screen with a message 'do not disconnect' returns to the top. iTunes does not recognize the iPod. I don't know what else I can do to get my Mac to recognize the device and add songs using iTunes. IPod Nano was working fine a few hours ago, and my Macbook recognized until I tried to restore it in iTunes. It's very frustrating. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Here are pictures of the messages from my iPod nano's display.

    IPod Nano was working fine a few hours ago, and my Macbook recognized until I tried to restore it in iTunes.

    What was the (initial) reason, you had to do this restoration (before this problem occurred)?

    Try to put the iPod in Disk Mode.

    Put the iPod in disk - Apple Support Mode

    Launch iTunes and connect the iPod to the Mac.  If iTunes picks it up, he may ask you to do a restore with a message on the "recovery."  Tell iTunes to do a restore.  After the full restoration , see if the iPod works normally.

  • iPod nano (3rd generation) used to synchronize with Itunes on a XP computer

    I have an Ipod nano 3rd generation that seems to have stopped. The only thing I see on the screen is the apple logo. I tried to reset a dozen times (at least) and installed the latest version of Itunes, but nothing helped. I do not see the ipod appears as a device anywhere on my computer. I downloaded SyncToy 2.1, but when I tried to install it I got the following error message:

    Component Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Core Components could not install with the following error message:
    "A fatal error occurred during the installation of Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Core Components".

    The following components were not installed:
    -Microsoft Sync Framework 2.0 Provider Services

    The following components failed to install:

    Any suggestions?

    Using MS Sync something won't solve your problem. Normally, you need iTunes to transfer music/videos etc. to and from iPods, phones etc. keys. Or you can buy the 3rd plugins for WMP, such as MGTEK Dropsi.

    Your problem is that the iPod nano seems to be frozen, I would try to leave a post on the Apple site as its more a problem for them than Ms. You need to find on how to make a plant of re - put in order for UN - gel you Nano.

    See you soon,.

  • Hi, I just got a second generation ipod nano, and whenever I have unplug the charger a line crosses the screen. Help, please

    Hi, I just bought a used second generation ipod nano and whenever I have unplug the charger a line crosses the screen and I can't do anything with the ipod. Help, please.

    When you do a Reset (reboot) on the iPod

    Learn how to reset your iPod - Apple Support  (see iPod with a click wheel)

    do you see this line on the screen when the Apple logo?  If you do, it is probably a hardware problem.  If the line is not there at the start, but returns after the iPod starts, you can do a restore of the iPod using iTunes.  This d erases the IPO, reinstall its software and sets it to the default settings.

    Use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore your iPhone, iPad or iPod settings - Apple Support

    If the problem persists after the restore, the cause is likely to be hardware problem.

  • Apple iPod touch (3rd generation), iTunes hangs everything by making a backup

    Original title: Apple iPod touch (3rd generation)

    Try to install the iPod.

    I have Windows Vista loaded on. I also tend titanium security and Internet Explorer 8 or 9 charge on as well. iTunes gets to step 2 of 6 in backup, and then freezes. I have the iPod connected to the computer and turned on when I do that.  I wonder if there is a problem of firewall IE, a Trend security firewall problem (I was on the site of trend but couldn't work out how to turn off the firewall - when it exists). Would it be a problem I use a mobile internet device I plug into a USB port?  I read that iTunes needs to port 80 or port 443, and I have no idea what I have with a mobile internet connection, which is a connection of the port numbers Vodaphone. (I travel a lot). Does anyone know what I need to do to complete the installation? I have not yet set up an account with Apple's iTunes or the legends of hearing impaired which is part of the installation.  I really want to restore the ipod to factory settings and reinstall due to do not do these two things, but I can't even do that when I click on "Restore" and ask that 'the parameters that it will NOT be saved' (as I want to go back) but once again just iTunes freezes.  Can someone help this Granny for the iPod facing up and running please with a good connection to iTunes and an active account? Thank you. Laptop.

    Hello

    Test the issue in a clean boot State, and check if the problem is related to a software conflict of third.

    Note: Follow step 7 to your computer as usual, and also make sure that you do not disable iTunes while putting your computer in a clean boot state.

    If the problem persists, I recommend that ask you this question in the following forum. They must be aware of current issues with this unit.

  • 3rd generation Apple TV stopped seeing all wi - fi networks.

    3rd generation Apple TV suddenly stopped to see Wi - Fi.  I bought an Apple TV 3rd generation (stupidly) shortly before the 4th generation came out.  But it works fine for the short time I've had it.  However, I moved it to a larger TV this weekend so we could use the new HBO subscription now (and look at the vinyl with a bigger screen and better speakers) and he would suddenly see a wi - fi network.  Then I brought it back to the original location and it will not always see the networks.  It's almost like unplug it killed, but that can't be true! What is going on?  I tried to plug it into my new laptop running latest everything, with a mini-usb cable, but iTunes doesn't recognize.  The white light at the front of the Apple TV flashes quickly.  I think it would still be on the one year warranty, but I can't find my receipt.  However, it looks more like something weird network.  My modem comcast/xfinity wi - fi still works with all other devices in the House. iPhones, iPads, computers laptops. I don't want to buy a new one.  It then he darn, it should still work.  This happened to someone else?  Thank you.

    If the white light flashes quickly then you need to restore via iTunes

    Mmake sure that you follow the delicate steps (disconnect all cables, connect the USB microphone, plug). Connect directly to the computer, try another USB microphone cable (make sure it is capable of data transfer, if it has been delivered with another device, then it can be scheduled for the device)

  • Apple tv (3rd generation) - youtube autoplay

    I just bought an apple tv (3rd generation) and I have an iphone 6 s. I bought for the mirroring of the screen and also want to use it for youtube casting, but it does not seem possible. It works with airplay, but it's different.

    That's how I was casting for the samsung tv before with 6 s iphone:

    iphone app - youtube-> cast-> select tv icon

    -Once I have sunk would be on TV, I can choose the videos I want to by adding it to the playlist. After that I'm done with the playlist, TB started playing videos and I can close the youtube on the iphone app and the TV continues to play videos and still has the playlist.

    Problems with tv3 apple airplay:

    -With apple's tv3, when I do the same thing and close the youtube on the iphone app, videos stop playing and atv3 goes back to the home screen.

    -When the iphone screen goes to the lock screen, playing on apple tv3 youtube, the current video, it continues to play until it's over, after that, the playlist will stop.

    How do the following on the airplay of tv3 apple I can do the casting?

    -Read the youtube playlist without having to open the youtube of iphone app once the selection has been selected.

    -Read a random youtube video on iphone with youtube autoplay and they continue to play on apple tv3 youtube even when the screen of the iphone going to the lock screen. Currently, when the iphone goes to the lock screen, apple tv3 youtube AutoPlay stops too.

    Thank you

    You can't have the content of the AirPlay and turn off the phone, why not just use tube you app on the Apple TV.

  • Apple TV Remote 3rd generation pairing

    We have just received new internet, and I went to put in the new network outside of apple TV. When I click on the remote control the Apple TV blinks 3 times (white light) and I can't move the cursor. I tried to restart my Apple TV and using my remote of my phone app, but I think that the network is not connected to the Apple TV is not to answer. Help?

    Thank you

    The three lights tells the ATV is ignorant of the remote control.  To fix this simply cancel the twinning of the remote control:

    Pair or cancel the twinning of the Apple Remote with Apple TV (3rd generation or earlier)-Apple Support

    Of course, you must use the second method mentioned since you can't navigate through the menus.

  • generation iPod Nano 7 jumping battery percentage

    Hello.

    I recently got an opportunity 7th generation iPod Nano and the battery percentage jumps around. I use it and it seems that it is half-percent or less then I turn off the screen and turn the screen turn it on again to change the song and it will pop up to like more than half. Is this normal or a kind of glitch that I should take to the Genius Bar? Does that mean I have a bad battery? Thank you.

    Try to let the game iPod continuously, until it is unloaded.  You can let them play unsupervised until he stops playing alone.  Then, connect it to the power for a few hours, so that it is completely recharged.  See if that makes the battery to act more reliably.  It is good sometimes to drain the battery completely and then load it completely.
