  • I broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says i need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can i do

    hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.

    You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
    If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Can i get a free replacement for the screen of my ipod touch 4th gen if i go to apple store even though i bought my ipod in futureshop?

    I just drop my ipod touch 4th gen and the screen was crashed.. I am wondering if a get a free replacement in the apple store even though i bought my ipod in futureshop?

    Dropping your iPod s not coverd by the warranty. You'll have to pay for the refurbished device:

    Apple - Support - Service Answer Center
    Out-of-Warranty Service: If your iPod requires service for any other hardware failure that is determined by Apple to be repairable, Apple will service your iPod for the Out-of-Warranty Repair Service fee.
    If you want to set up your iPod for the Out-of-warranty service, we recommend that you take your iPod to a local Apple Retail Store. Alternatively, you can contact Apple Technical Support.

  • Will Apple still replace the screen on my iPod Touch 4th gen.?

    I dropped my iPod and completely cracked the whole front of my iPod. I got it a Target a month ago and I lost my receipt. Will Apple still replace it?

    @lllaass I just cracked the screen on my Ipod touch 8gb 4th gen which i just bought wednesday from Target. However, I have one of those military grade portective films over it. Was that supposed to protect it? Not sure, but I also have another issue. I live an hour away from the nearest apple store and I don't want to make an appointment at the Genius bar and still have to pay. Should I just take my chances and schedule one? Or are there other places that might be able to replace it for cheaper? 

  • Line on the screen of my ipod touch 4th gen. Starts left of the screen as a blue (bright backgr) or red (dark backgr) line becoming white halfway and going across screen. Any ideas/solutions?

    I have an irritating line on the screen of my 4th gen ipod touch going left to right. It starts out as a blue line (with bright backgroung) or red line (with dark background). Switching backrounds will also switch the color of the line. Sometimes it stops halfway the screen. Sometimes the blue/red line becomes white somewhere halfway the screen and continuing as a white line to the other side of the screen. It mostly starts out as a normal screen and when using the blue/red line appears and when using some more the white part appears.Mostly in the beginning the line starts flickering and becomes more steady after a while.
    I have searched on the internet but can only find info on some pixels acting weird (stuck/frozen/dead pixels). This is a whole line of pixels not doing what they are supposed to do.
    Anyone an idea what this could be and how to solve it?
    Thanks,

    Did you ever fix this? My daughters is the same. Treated with tender loving care, we reset to factory and it disappeared but was back again after 2 or 3 days. Still in warranty so going to take to the genius bar, however a bit concerned that because it belongs to an 11 year old they are going to assume she's damaged it.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen has got discharged and is not working even though i have kept it on charging and have also tried the reset method by pressing the home and power on/off button together..what else can i do to start it? please tell !!

    please help me!

    - Have you tried anther cable and charging soruce?
    - Have you connected the iPod to yur computer?  If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod via iTunes-
    - Next see if see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Can I fix the screen on my iPod touch 4th gen?

    The screen is basically spiderwebbed and I know that you can affordability replace yourself or get an expert to replace the screens on second and third gens. But can it be done with a 4th gen. and if so how much would it cost?

    - To fix yourself see:

    I have had my 4th gen ipod touch for over a yr. But I've only charged it twice now it wont charge or power up. I have had ppl try resetting it. But no change. Is there something I can do to fix it?

    Try:

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
