Just re-boot or restore?
Reset is more about hard reset, for those familiar with terms associated with PDA, Palm or Windows Mobile. In other word, reset is simply a forced reboot

  • power is cut off from iPhone or iPod Touch to restart the device from fresh.
Restore will erase and wipe out completely all information and data that contained inside the device, including musics, songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, call lists, maps, applications installed and any other data.
  • To reset the iPhone or iPod Touch, press and hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button simultaneously at the same time for at least ten seconds, then the LCD display will clear and the Apple logo appears on the black background. When Apple logo appears, reset is done.

Ipod touch half white screen

This is actually really easy to do.

This called a hard reboot.


All you have to do is hold the home button and the power button down at the same time for 30 to 40 seconds or until you get a Apple sign on your screen.

This will reboot your ipod.


If this does not work there is one other thing you can try to do.

Hook your ipod touch up to your computer that you use itunes on.


Itunes will detect a problem with your ipod.

You can try a restore of your ipod from your computer.


If this does not work its time to return or send your ipod back to apple so they can repair it.


hope this helps

Ipod is on but the slide bar is frozen you cannot slide it open

Just a simple solution--try rebooting your iPod touch. To do that:
  1. Hold down both Power (button on the top) and Home (button on the front) buttons.
  2. Continue doing so even after the iPod Touch turns off and when the Apple logo appears, let go.
  3. Your iPod Touch is now going to operate smoothly, unless you have damaged your device, and if you have, go to an Apple store to have it fixed.
