Ipod Touch 4g turned to blue screen after IOS6 Update?

Question

Ipod Touch 4g turned to blue screen after IOS6 Update?

So my ipod said I could update to IOS6, but I had to plug it in first. I did and updated then set it out of the way to be on my laptop. When I checked on it all it showed was a bright blue, almost turqoise screen and won't respond to any buttons I press. It won't show up on my itunes anymore. I've tried plugging it in and then replugging it, but that hasn't changed anything. I don't know what else to do. I have a 8gb 4th generation ipod touch if that helps.

iPod touch, iOS 6

Not uncommon problem. Try:

- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

- 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.

I tried what the article said to restart it, and now it's blinking from the apple logo to a white screen, to a black screen. Any clue what that could mean?

If you can turn the iPod off, place the iPod in Recovery Mode and try to restore.

If you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain, after charging fror at least an hour try the reset, restore, recovery mode as necessary.

It takes mine just a few minutes. It seems like when I plug it up it charges for a little while, and then just stops interacting with my ipod completely.

I left mine over night and when I charged it up today, it was turning on and then went to a black screen with dotted lines movie across the screen so I dont know what to do other then going into Apple.

The same thing happend to me as well. Apple needs to do something about this. My 1st gen iPod touch and my Nano doesnot have this problem. Both are still working fine. Make me wonder if I should update there software.
