Ipod touch 4th display problem - Non-responsive

Good afternoon.
iPod touch 4th Gen is non-responsive to the screen.  Will display "slide to unlock" but is unresponsive to touch.   Screen also has vertical and horizontal lines which appear all the way across the screen.  Interestingly the siri will come on if you push the button.  In other words siri works, the display shows full charge and directional arrow.  It would appear that the screen is non-responsive and displaying these lines but the underlying operations are fine.  Siri will answer a question.  Of course I've reset and also restored everything to factory settings and latest software updates.  I don't have any software on the iPod that wasn't from the iTunes store.  BTW, there's been no trauma to the screen or case.  I'm beyond 90 days from purchase, but under one year of ownership.
Any ideas?  Thank you.

If you restored as new and the problem persists then you have a hardware problem. If you have had it for less than a year it is in warranty so take it to an Apple Store and have the iPod replaced.

  • Is there a way to fix ipod touch screen display problem with song list?

    I was wondering if anybody has had this problem? I have an ipod touch 64gig 5th gen for probably about 2 years. I hardly use it because I have it as a back up ipod until primary one dies. This is the first time I came across this problem. Upon turning on device, the first artist/song list I choose displays correctly. Once I start choosing any other artist/song list afterwards, the display for the 1st artist/song list re-appears. If the song list is only a single song to 3-4 songs it will display correctly. Any other song list I choose that consist more than 5 songs, the first artist/song list re-appears on screen like the display is messed up.
    For example: Upon turning on device, I choose Aaliyah with a list of 9 songs displaying.
    Upon trying to select a different artist and song, for example I choose Nachtmar with a  list of 20 songs.
    The Aaliyah with the list of 9 songs re appears in place of the song list I am attempting to choose. The songs play and it works, but the display is incorrect. Why is it doing this? Does anybody have this problem? I have tried resetting and it has currently been updated. I have came across this problem just very recently a couple of days ago. I have had a couple of hard resets requiring to erase all data in the past and I don't want to go that way again because I have about 3,500 songs. I have never experience this problem before in the past. I just want it to display the current list of songs. It's inconvenient having to type in every song while playing in the car instead of being able to easily pick an individual song.

    I have this problem too and it drives me crazy. When I view my ipod, I don't want to see a list of the first 8 songs in my ipod library. I just want to see the current song playing. It's like the ipod display goes into some type of "sleep" mode while your music plays,and the display defaults to show the first few songs in your ipod touch library, even though none of those songs are currently being played. I have to take the time to either flip the ipod over a couple of times in order for that list to disappear just to see the current song playing.
    This is an example of what I see on my display after the current song begins playing. These are the first songs in my ipod library. To get rid of this view, I have to either shake the ipod or flip it over a couple of times and the current song is now displayed, allowing you to see the current song, also allowing you access to the arrows to either fast forward or playback/reverse. On the display, the songs are in a grid or table format (unable to show that here).

  • Ipod touch 4th gen problems

    i m having problems with my ipod touch
    the ipod will just pick an app and run it and the touch screen will not respond very well after a few times it will let me shut it down.

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
    Have you tried all three of these?

  • ITunes not compatible with iPod Touch 4th gen (problem with Windows 64 bit)

    So I've been trying for about a month or so to sync my iPod Touch to iTunes but ever since i updated it to iTunes 11 it has been saying that i need to uninstall it and install the 64 bit version. I've done that twice this week alone and its still not working, saying again that i need the 64 bit which I already have. I've ended up completely erasing previous iTunes data to see if that would help, but that just ended up being more hassle. I don't think its just my iPod, because it refuses to sync my iPad 2 manually as well.
    Please help me, i'm at my wits end.

    You are very perceptive - has nothing to do with your ipod, has to do with your Windows. You can try couple things.
    One - reinstall itunes "apple way" and when downloading disable your anitvirus.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
    please make sure that you completed not only step one, but also step two.
    Then disable your antivirus and go to step three.
    iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows 64 - Apple - Support
    if that does not work go to thing number two.
    Two - come back here with precise text of the message, see if anybody had it before.

  • Ipod Touch 4th generation problem

    I could really use some help here...
    Ok so the sleep/wake/lock button on the top of my ipod doesn't work anymore. I've tried restarting it and updating it, but nothing is working. I haven't dropped it or anything so I'm unsure what the problem is. The other day I went running and the ipod got kinda wet but not extremely, I just wiped it off. Should i try putting it in rice, or do you think ther's an actual problem. Please help!
    Thanks

    you probably just got a faulty button. if you didn't buy it to long ago you could get it sent in and replaced. If you're set on the water damage idea, rice is a solution but also apple warranty doesn't cover water damage i hope i helped.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation Display issues

    Recently, my son's iPod Touch 4th Gen display has acted up after long periods of inactivity such as overnight.  Symptoms are a very light screen with many horizontal lines.  Turning the device of/off and doing a soft reset does not help.  He has discovered if he plays a game then turns the device on/off the display returns to normal and stays that way until another extended period of inactivity. 

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have an iBook G4, its current OS is 10.4.11(tiger i think) i cant update itunes past 9.2 which is a big problem for my new ipod touch 4th gen! please help me someone!

    hello, i have an iBook G4 which is old, it has an OS of 10.4.11 which is called tiger i think, forgive me im new to apple,
    it has a version of itunes installed (9.2) which worked fine with my 1st gen ipod touch but ive upgraded to a 4th gen ipod touch and now my itunes version is no longer compatible, the problem is that because my os is out of date i cant install the current version of itunes so i  think i need to upgrade my OS.
    Like i say im quite new to apple so any help or information would be greatly appreciated. thank you

    As Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
    But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
    Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
    Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
    Hope this helps.

    I am having the same problem (lost in back-up purgatory) on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad2.  I am running Windows XP.
    I have tried everything I've seen suggested on various support communities, with no success.
    I have gotten used to having to find a windows workaround everytime Apple updates iTunes, and this time it is especially frustrating.  
    I don't have any solutions, and I am responding to all of these types of messages in hopes of finding something that will work for me.
    One person was able to work through it by deleting all of the previous iTunes backup files.  I'm trying that now.  4 hours into it, and it does not seem to be working......

    I have 300 apps organized in folders on my ipod touch 4th gen, and connected my iphone 4, these apps have copied over but none have been placed in folders, any ideas how to replicate folders from ipod to iphone...?

    What may work is to restore the iPhone fom the backup of the iPod.  However, if the two devices ahve different apps that come with the device, that may mess up some of the folders.

  • Problems syncing my ipod touch 4th gen

    I am having problems syncing my ipod touch 4th gen to itunes.  I keep getting an error message stating iTunes could not back up the iPod "name of ipod" because an error occured.  My daughter and I both use the same computer to sync our ipod's and this problem only occurs when I try to sync mine.  It works fine syncing hers and I have tried to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.  Please help

    Try placing the iPod backup file in a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new file.  It is located here:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Lots of problems with my iPod touch 4th generation

    I am having a few problems with my iPod touch 4th Generation. I have been having them for a while and I would really like to get them fixed. 
    My first and main problem would be that my iPod touch is not being recognized by my computer (windows) and it will not sync to iTunes. I am certain it is not my USB cables fault because I have tried it with three different USB cables and all of them have had the same result. It has seemed to be completly fine until I updated to ios 6. I would restore my ipod to ios 5 but I can't get my ipod to be recognized by iTunes and restore it.
    My next problem is that my ipod is charging but it does not show that it is charging. The thing is though that it will only charge when it is hooked up to a very high powered source like my computer. My ipod dock works but it says it uses 160 watts of output power. It will not be charged from another wall charger and it will not charge in the car with a car charger.
    I would love some help with this. I have been having these problems for a while and it is starting to annoy me a little.
    Thanks in advance.
