My 4th gen ipod touch has crashed, just displaying a dark blue screen.  It won't turn off or do anything.  Connecting it to the laptop does nothing either.  Is this common and any ideas??

  • My 4th Gen iPod Touch has my location wrong

    My 4th Gen iPod Touch that runs iOS 5, has my location way wrong.
    On the weather app, maps app, other apps, and icloud it shows my location is some house in Columbia, SC.
    The problem is, is I don't live anywhere near Columbia,SC! I live in Jacksonville,FL! So my question is, is why is my iPod doing this, and how can I fix it?

    The iPod get its location from where the Apple database thinks your router is located.  (Was your router ever in Columbia SC?).  In any case, sometimes Apple 's database is incorrect.  There is nothing you can do about it.  Apple should eventually correct it.

  • My 4th gen iPod touch has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch. It has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on. I cannot restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. I have tried pressing and holding the home and/or the power key but that does not work as well. I have tried restarting Apple Mobile Support. I have updated my iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING but it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions?

  • 4th gen ipod touch has white screen

    I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

    try one of these ways:
    > restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
    > let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
    > replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
    > go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

  • My 4th gen ipod touch has started to quit right for no reason.

    My ipod 4th gen has developed a mind of its own. Doesn't matter what I might be doing it will just quit and go to a black screen. Wait a few seconds and it will restart. I have upgraded to ios 6.0 hoping that the problem would go away, no luck.
    I tried to do a restore and got a message telling me that it could not be completed. Tired a few more times same message about the server. Any help appreciated.

  • 4th Gen ipod touch has a white screen

    4th Generation ipod has a white screen.  I have done the hard restart with no success.  Have attached it to the computer for a restore--it goes through the whole process and the white screen stays.  Even with the white screen, you can hear that you slide the bar to start and apps are available, but the white screen won't go away.  It is only 2 days old!!!  HELP!

    Try starting with the bold:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

  • My 4th generation iPod touch is completetly frozen... Doesn't respond to home   turn off command, it's not being recognized by iTunes. It only shows a white screen and doesn't respond to nothing

  • HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

    My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    Hi paul.lisa,
    Then when you press down on one of those icons (on the actual Home screen), and all the icons start to wiggle, a small black "x" should show up in the upper left-hand corner:

    Are you sure it is a 4G iPod?  Does it have a camera?

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

    I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
    Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

  • Facetime and messanging is frequently unresponsive to incoming transmissions on 4th gen Ipod touch any suggestions

    I bought my son a 4th gen Ipod Touch.  It calls out on facetime and messenging just fine,  but will not receive them from any of my apple products(iphone4,ipad2) 50% of the time.  It especially seems to have a problem after its been idle all night.  Once he has called out on facetime or messaged me first it seems to work ok.  Any ideas on what it could take to fix this problem, it acts as if the wireless goes on standby but I cannot find anywhere that has that setting.

  • HT201263 My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old and will not turn on

    My 4th gen ipod touch is 6 mos old. Tried to turn on today and nothing.  Plugged into computer held down sleep/wake button and plugged into computer with usb.  Nothing.  It has not been dropped or bumped.  It has been stored as I don't use it often only to play music on spotify thru internet.  I probably haven't used this ipod more than 20 times.  Any suggestions?

    - After being connected to a charging source for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - If not successful time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
