How to clean the dust inside the screen of the iPod Touch?

Hi everybody,
lately some dust entered inside the screen of my iPod Touch.
At first it looked like one or two pixels were gone bad, but it is just some annoying dust.
The problem is that I cannot figure out any way to remove it.
I tried a gentle blow from the connector hole but the result was worse.
Any idea on how to clean the screen inside?
I hope it is not necessary to go to an Apple Center and pay for the "cleaning service".
Regards,
Andrea

It sounds safe to use
'Falcon's® "Professional" Dust-Off® "XL" compressed-gas is the perfect product for removing dust from your color transparencies before making scans or copy slides; it's also great for removing dust from cameras, lenses, computers and other electronic equipment. Each 12 oz. disposable can comes with its own trigger value and a 4.75" nozzle extension (a red tube) that allows you to place precise bursts of compressed air just where you want it.'
Check the directions on the back... also check the contents. Normally anything like that will inform you of contaminants harmful to delicate electrical devices.
If its just compressed air make sure you keep the can well back from the source.. and unplug the G5 (take it somewhere you don't mind dust.. there no point doing this in situe, just for it to suck it back in again!)
Also.. as mentioned.. keep the can upright (as the air is decompressed the can gets very cold)

How good is the iPod Touch Upgrade?

How good is the iPod touch upgrade? is it really worth it? should i upgrade? or should i wait for the sdk to come out and then upgrade?
And are there any safety/security features for safari? to protect your ipod touch from hacks and viruses?

There were some Mac viruses in the past (like 10 years ago), but none for OS X.
Sophos provides a list of Mac viruses here. Almost all are from the late 1980's and early 1990's. The most recent one being June 1998 - and all of them affecting Mac OS 7, 8 or 9 - none for Mac OS X
Virus software on the Mac mainly detects and protects against passing on Windows viruses, which do nothing on a Mac.
In fact, Virus protection software on the Mac is a bit of a scam, as there's none to protect against.
A couple of 'proof-of-concept' viruses were demonstrated for OS X but never released, and as I said, there's not a single virus in the wild that affects current shipping versions of OS X.
Not a single one.

How to sync the ipod touch in a foriegn computer if the ipod is disabled ?

how to sync the ipod touch in a foriegn computer if the ipod is disabled ?

Same basic way as if you connect it to your syncing computer. However, you ned to restore to factory defaults/new iPod since there is not backup on the foreign computer.
In both cases you have to place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass (an erase) the iPod. For recovery mode see:

How durable it the iPod touch 5 screen?

I'm always really afraid that I'll crack the screen if I drop my iPod touch 5. I see people with broken iPhone screens everyday, I'm and really afraid that one of these day I'm gonna end up with a shattered iPod. I know I should get a case, but it can't find any that aren't rubber. I HATE HATE HATE rubber cases. They always get stuck in my pocket and get gross lint all over them. What are some cases that are slim, plasticky, and are protective? The case I have now is a little too slim and it's basically only for decoration, because it wouldn't protect it at all in a drop. Plus it doesn't go over the edges so it causes the screen protector to peel. Do iPhone 5c cases fit on the iPod touch 5?
I also HATE screen protectors, they always get bubbles and dirt and dust under them and they just look awful. And the. They alway peel away in my pocket. How scratch resistant is the screen? How can I get my screen protector on PERFECT without bubble or peely edges? I know you can get them done at the apple store, but the nearest Apple store is 4 hours away from me. And apparently everyone in my town is too ghetto for apple stores idk.
So how durable IS the iPod exactly? Will keys in my pocket scratch it? Will this stupid buttons on the top of my jean pockets scratch it? Will dropping it Fromm approximately 5 feet onto a wood/tile floor crack the screen (case less)?

Hello. Skydiver pretty much said it all! Don't know that I have anything more other than another voice in the dark. You really should get the case that is meant for your iPod. The phones look like the iPod but they are different dimensions and buttons are in different places. The screens are glass and glass breaks and scratches, etc. Unfortunately the cases that protect the glass as well as the body of the iPod will have rubber and add some bulk. As for falls and drops, any fall / drop may do damage if it hits the road so to speak the right wrong way, even with a case, but your odds of survival without damage are better with a case.
I have a Griffin Survivor it's day glow yellow and black, makes it easy to find. One of the benefits of the rubber, makes holding on to my iPod easier, and it keeps the iPod from slipping falling out of my pocket when I bend over. The seals on the ports have kept mine clear of stuff in the ports and kept the weather off my iPod. I know this is starting to sound like a commercial but I'm happy with my case. I have beat the snot out of it, dropped it on rocks, spilled tea on it, been caught in the rain and snow, gone dirt biking, rolled it down a flight of stairs in a backpack with a glass bottle of tea, (remember the tea), the bottle broke, tea on everything, ruined everything, but just wiped the iPod off and still going, and worst of all... left it in the hands of a 6 year old, so far, so good. Something to note some cases state they are waterproof and some say they are watertight, waterproof means spill something on it or get wind driven rain on it your most likely protected (the Survivor is waterproof) but drop it in the toilet and your all wet. Watertight can go in the water and should be OK as long as the seals work. Sorry it's so long, Hope this helps, Good luck.

How to Clean the iPod?

I was wondering how you clean the metal panel on the back of the Nano. I used a tissue with soap and water and it got clean but I have heard people use metal wool to clean the back of their iPods in general.
So how do you really clean the back of the iPod Nano?

How much can the iPod Touch really hold?

Suddenly my 16GB iPod touch could hold 3000 of my photos, 40 videos and 4500 of my songs. But the album artwork was all wrong so I made the stupid decision of restoring my iPod.
Now I can only fit 2500 photos, home videos which are pretty weak on the MB and I had to compromise the 4500 songs to 4055.
What happened?

yeah it seems that the first restore left some fragmented files or somthing on your touch takin up some space. Another restore couldnt hurt and if it leaves more unuseable space you should look into a replacement cause it looks like a bug.
