Is there any way to fix the home button on ipod touch?

my home button has today stopped working! is there any way that this can be fixed, either by a repair shop or by me doing some thing? at the moment the only way to get out of an app is to turn off the ipod and then tuirn it back on again - which is getting really tiresome and annoying!!

Is there any way to fix cameras in 4th generation iPod touches without going to Apple?

I just took my iPod touch's screen to get fixed by a third party because going to Apple would have been more expensive and would have taken longer; however, after getting the iPod back, I realized that neither the front nor back cameras work. I can apparently get the front one to work on FaceTime (I think?) and sometimes on SnapChat, but the back one is a lost cause in any app or any time I open the Camera option. Are there any sort of diagnostic tests or something that I can run to fix it? I have an appointment later this week with Apple but I would love to not have to pay more than I already have to fix this problem. Please help as soon as possible!!
Quinn

I d not know of any troubleshooting.
What does the person who replaced the screen say? Could be a lost connection or broken ribbon cable.

Apple is likely not to help because someone else worked on the iPod.

Ok so I cant open my Itunes due to Windows Error 2 and the message says to uninstall and re-install Itunes but I'm pretty sure that would wipe the library right? Is there any way to fix the problem and keep my library?

Hi neffn!
I have an article for you that can help you go through that process of uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. If you have Windows 7, you will want to see this article:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1923
and if you are using Windows XP, you will want to reference this article:
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1925
Note that, as it says in those articles:
iTunes Store purchases or songs imported from CDs are saved in your My Music folder by default and are not deleted by removing iTunes. While it is highly unlikely that you will lose any contents of your iTunes Library when following these steps, it is always a good idea to ensure that your iTunes library is backed up. If you're unsure how to backup, see iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive.
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

thank you for the tip.
Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
Thanks again for the help.

Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to Microsoft Outlook?

Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to microsoft outlook using the push service from Mobile Me? Or any other mode of transferring?

Sure. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and just connect your iPod Touch to it, decline the prompt to autosync (the warning about losing your music), then go into the info tab, select sync contacts, and click apply. Your contacts will be transferred (both directions, i.e. the outlook contacts and your IPT contacts will be merged and the combined set will be present on both lists).
Hope this helps...

I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive. The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive. Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

I got a new computer and backed up my iTunes library to an external hard drive. The external hard drive is not allowing me to access the drive. I no longer have access to the old computer. Is there a way to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my new computer?

That's a bummer, didn't realize the exHD files were corrupt, esp if you have tried from another PC and not just this new computer.
You can get purchases from the itunes store transferred from an iPod using these directions:

If you want everything (meaning non-itunes songs, app data, photos, etc) you need to buy a 3rd-party ipod manager that support iTouch. Here is an iLounge article to start your research:

Is there any way to fix the window screen grab in 10.5?

For whatever reason, the window capture function (CMD-SHIFT-4, then SPACE) in OS X 10.5 now insists on including the shadow of the window being captured. Given how much documentation I write this is a HUGE setback for me; what used to take a few seconds now takes several minutes since I now have to edit every image in Photoshop to remove the shadow, or use CMD-SHIFT-4 without the SPACE and hope my marquee is accurate.
Is there any way to fix this "improvement" (ahem) in 10.5?
<Edited by Moderator>

Here is the problem.
Let's say you have a window that's sized to, say, 400x300, and you want to grab that window. You hit SHIFT-CMD-4, then tap SPACE, then click on the window.
Up until OS X 10.5, you would get an image file on your desktop that, when opened, contained a 400x300 graphic of that window.
Starting with 10.5, when you open that image you get an image that's LARGER than 400x300 and contains the window plus the shadow that OS X puts around it, with transparency.
Yes, they look great when you post them in documents with any color background. But that's only useful if you have an actual design-need for a drop shadow. Believe it or not, there are countless instances where a drop shadow is NOT needed or wanted. This means that I have to edit every file to remove the drop shadow which is a waste of time. Before Apple forced the drop shadow, I had the choice of whether to include a drop shadow or not when I work with the file in InDesign, and the drop shadow would work beautifully in any color background.

Is there any way to transfer my media from my ipod touch to my new pc? The media is not currently in my itunes library.

I can not upgrade my ipod touch because music that is currently on there will be lost. Is there any way to transfer the media that I currently have on my touch to my itunes library or my pc?

The music sync is one way - computer to ipod. The only exception is itunes purchases: File>Transfer Purchases.
Copy everything from your old copmputer, or your backup copy of your old copmputer to your new one.

Is there any way to transfer the music already on ipod to itunes library

is there any way to transfer music already on my ipod to my itunes library without deleting the music

Here's more info for you.
Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
To prevent auto sync, before you connect the iPod go to the iTunes preferences and select "devices", then select "disable automatic syncing for iPhones and iPods".
An alternative method is to connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
Find out how to do that here.
How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.
