IPod Touch Screen Problem (Push notifications)

I have an iPod touch 4th Generation. Recently it has been doing this thing where whenever i receive push notifications or popups (such as a notification from facebook)the sides of the notification get lines and then they go away. This also happens sometimes when i'm downloading something and the lines appear on the circular load (on the top beside the signal strength)
Has anyone had this problem?
HELP?!?!!?

I have recently noticed the same problem with my ipod Touch 4th Gen too. It has been doing this periodically the last 2 weeks. Could it be a result of the recent iPod software update?
Each time I get a push notification my screen gets a bit garbled or rips up on the blue notification box. White lines or screen "rips" are how I describe it. Goes away once you touch the screen and do something. It's a bit annoying and I hope it's just a software problem cause otherwise the hardware seems to be working. It's just happening on push notifications or recharging. Anyway that's what I've been noticing so you guys are not alone. I bought my iPod Touch 4 in November of 2010 so I hope it's not crapping out already.

  • IPod Touch Screen Problems

    I understand some of the early iPod Touch screens had terrible screen problems. I have purchased an iPod Touch as a Christmas gift. I fear it may have screen problems. Can anyone out there tell me if Touches with serial numbers:
    1A737XXXX
    are ok or not? Should I try to exchange this before Christmas to avoid a big disappointment??
    It is past the 14 day return/exchange date so I'd have to get special permission from the store to exchange it, obviously. But if the screen is bad on Christmas day they will have to exchange it anyway. What do you all think?
    Thanks!

    yea usually those do have the problem but that depends on how picky u are with ur blacks. I still think that you should try it first and see how ur own preferences work. Otherwise, you would never be satisfied with an ipod always thinking that it will have this "disease" you have ever even experienced before.

  • Problems with iPod Touch- YouTube and Push Notifications

    After installing iOS4 on my 64gb iPod Touch I've noticed I cannot view YouTube videos and push notifications do not work.
    The YouTube app launches, however if I try to search or play a video a pop up will read "Cannot connect to YouTube". If I go to YouTube's newly redesigned mobile site they work fine.
    Although all my settings are the same as they have ever been, push notifications do not work. When launching any app with push notification support it always states "Connect to iTunes to use push notifications". I've done this, but nothing works.
    For the record, I've never jailbroken or in any other way altered my device. I've tried performing a hard reset with no success, as well as letting the battery drain completely and shutting off before recharging.
    Thanks for any help.

  • Ipod Touch 2G and Push Notifications not working

    Hello,
    I did a full restore to firmware 3.0 on my touch 2g, wiped everything, then proceded to install some apps that support push, and they don't appear to be working. Yes, I'm testing with push enabled apps (AIM), and Push on Settings is turned on. I tried rebooting, iTunes doesn't detect any problem, everything appears OK, but no Push Notifications whatsoever.
    Any help ?
    Thank you !
    ps: I can provide the Serial Number and UDID that iTunes shows for this device if necessary.

    It is either a problem of the earphone jack of the iTouch or the plug of the earphones, have you tried another earphones, if the problem still there, send your iTouch for service

  • 2nd Gen IPod touch screen problem

    Hello,
    This question is regarding a 2gen 16gig Ipod Touch. My son’s Ipod touch just recently started having a screen fill of static for lack of a better work. As a way to describe it when we reboot it holding the home button and power button the apple logo appears but white line on the right hand side of the screen. When it fully boots up there are repeating vertical or horizontal lines across the screen. If you slide the bar across the button something happens but the screen is so staticy that you can’t see what is going on. He says he didn’t try to jailbreak it, nor does it have water damage that he knows of.
    We have tried to do a software restore within Itunes but if hasn’t helped (tried a couple times and set it up as a new touch). Is there anything else we can do, are there any other tricks to try or should I make an appt at the apple store?
    If a picture of the screen would help we can post try and post one tonight.
    Thanks for any help you can give.
    Mike

    If you restored it to factory-new (you did not add anything to it like apps, mail accounts) and you still have problem it appears that there is a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at an Apple Genius Bar.

  • IPod Touch screen problem?

    i have an iPod Touch 2G. a few days back, suddenly the screen started displaying thin white lines and eventually the whole screen was covered with these thin white lines (not that common full white screen; just lines). i tried restoring it but was of no use. i even went to an Apple store but they told me that they dont undertake any repairs. any suggestions to fix this?

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Try resetting the iPod touch+ but holding the "Sleep/Wake" and "Home" buttons in until the device restarts; don't use the off slider. If that isn't helping then connect it to iTunes and Restore the iPod.

  • My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

    so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes

    Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
    I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
    one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
    I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
    So, my question is:
    What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
    Is it because I used it while charging?
    Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
    please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
    Thank you for answering..

  • Dead iPod Touch screen

    Hi,
    my 2nd generation iPod Touch screen won't work properly (which I got a year ago along with a university special with a Macbook Pro). When I plug it to iTunes, it shows all the info thats in the iPod, but the screen would only turn bright-white for 15 seconds and then stops. It worked well when I last used it, a couple of hours ago.
    Anybody had a similar problem ?
    Thanks!

    Did you already try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Appl logo comes back again?

  • How can I make the best of my ipod touch screen with no internet connection??

    I've been offered an ipod touch screen last Christmas and it's only a week ago that I took it out of its box. I still can't figure out how to transfer my music library from my laptop to the ipod. But I've installed some apps thinking I would be able to listen to my favourite radio station and play some games wherever I go and to my disappointment nothing's working if not connected to an internet connection. I thought an ipod was an improved walkman and actually it is nothing but a device that should be connected to the internet to work.
    Considering that I don't have a free internet connection to the internet on my mobile phone, I was just wondering wht's the purpose to have an ipod? I really consider to go back to my old walkman... Thank you for your comments to help me to make the best of my Christmas present.

    The message you are getting is saying that the iPod was previous synced to another computer. You can only sync with one computer. If you sync to another computer then the iPod media from the iPod get erased (as the message says) and is replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    Syncing means copying (syncing) media from your iTunes library to your computer)
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    For not showing in iTunes:
    - Try entering the screen lock passcode on your iPod if not done already
    - Go to Windows Device Manager and see if there is any problems/unknown devices
    - Can you not import photos from a digital camera? The iPod appears in My Computer like a camera does.

  • My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness setting all the way up. how do I get it back to normal?

    My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness is completely up and can barely see it. Started all of a sudden.

    I am experiencing the same problem.  There are lots of discussion threads on this topic.  Several people have had short term luck restoring their touch or wiping it clean and starting as a new ipod again. Not a great option, but better that losing the darn thing completely.  What has worked for me several times is to power the unit down and leave it for a day or two then it seems to work again. It seems clear to me that this is not a hardware issue, as when it first powers up the screen is fine and sometimes it lasts and other times only for 5 seonds. Also since resetting the software address it, there is no problem with the hardware.  SO where is tech support in addressing this.  My gen 2 ipod no loger has any sofware updates, thanks apple! 
    Anybody found a long term fix for this???????
