My iPod touch is stuck in the settings app. Neither the power or the front button will get me out.
After entering the Settings App on my iPod touch, I am able to navigate around settings, but pressing the button on the front does not return the iPod out of the app. I also tried powering down by pressing and holding the power button, but there is no response.
Try the remaining items of:
- 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.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

ive got an ipod touch and im trying to update it im using a laptop ive used for quite a while now but its coming up with the message that u get when u dont normaly use that computer. so i tranfered all my apps to my laptop when i update it will i be able to transfer all them apps back onto my ipod?
- Yes. If you also want to retain app data, connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up. Then restore from that backup. The restore will also update the iOS.
- However, what was the error message you received? Maybe we can fix that. -
need to restore to factory settings to see if it fixes my problem with screen being black but has volume
What exactly happens when you
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes

She downloaded the game Breakaway from the App store yesterday and today when she opened the game it said "this game is not connected to game centers" and the screen went black/blue. I tried resetting without the power adapter and with the power adapter and nothing happens. She has only had the Itouch for 2 weeks.
I did try that numerous times and nothing happened. However, I did eventually get it to work. After trying to reset it numerous times and the screen still just staying frozen I logged into the Home Share portion on the Home computer and deleted the Bubble Birds game. Eventually the Itouch died and I was finally able to reset it by plugging it in and holding down the buttons. I doubt the deletion of the game helped, but since it seemed to be the cause, I went ahead and deleted it. Thank you for your reply.

My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps.
My brand new ipod touch won't let me download apps. I put in my password and then get a screen that says "Download Now". I can't press the okay button to start the download. What should I do? All of the other buttons on the screen work, so I don't think it is broken.
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. -
Everytime I add a keyboard shortcut, the settings app crashes.
So I go to the keyboard shortcuts section on the settings app. Then I hit the "add shorcut" button and I enter the shortcut, etc. When I finish entering everything in, I touch "save", and as soon as I do that, the app crashes to the home screen. It does actually save the shortcut, but it is a huge pain to have to navigate my way back to the shortcuts feature each time, especially because I have a lot of shortcuts that I need to enter. I have an iPhone 5 and the latest iOS. Can anyone help with this?
I have a similar issue, when I go to open the shortcuts, the Settings App crashes so I can't even get in to add more.

TS2771 help the home button on my ipod touch is stuck
the circle home button on my ipod touch is stuck. There was trouble charging it but now it will charge just the button is stuck. Does anyone know how to help?
See this older thread for a few possible ideas.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1969583?tstart=0
Since you are running iOS 5 you can always turn on Assistive Touch as well, which adds a Home button to the iPod's actual touch screen. Head to Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Assistive Touch to turn it on.

Gen. 2 iPod Touch is stuck on Apple Boot Logo after Resetting Data/Settings
My iPod Touch hadn't been getting recognized by iTunes and my music wouldn't sync onto it so I went into the Settings app and clicked Reset Data & Settings (the 4 hour long reset) and waited while the bar slowly moved until it finally restarted and showed the Apple Boot Logo. I then waited for about 20-30 minutes for my iPod to turn on and it never did, so I reset it by holding the Power+Home button and that didn't do anything as it was still stuck on the Apple Boot Logo. Then I remembered I could have just put my iPod into DFU or Recovery mode to get iTunes to recognize it to reset it, so i tried to put my iPod into both modes and it wouldn't go into them. So I went to bed and just woke up and it's still stuck. I'm afraid I might have bricked my iPod, and I'm out of my warranty I believe. Does anyone know ANYTHING I could try? I don't care about data loss seeing as I already tried resetting the whole thing.
If it is still doing it after a restore, you most likely have a hardware issue.

My iPod touch is stuck on one song in my play list when in the shuffle mode. How do I fix this to shuffle through all the songs in that playlist?
If you go to the Now Playing screen, the Repeat control is the the arrowed racetrack icon on the left side right below the scrubber bar. Tap the icon to change. It is white when Repeat is off.

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that. I have turned it off and back and even reset it but it still keeps zooming back in each time I turn it on. I can't unlock it because I can't see the numbers and it won't let me move around the screen. Please help.

How do i update the software on my ipod touch? i went to settings, then general, but theres no option called software updates.
You needing to be running iOS 5 or later in order to do a Software Update from the device. To run iOS 5 you need a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. So if you really have a 4G iPod Touch, connect it to iTunes and you should be prompted about an update to its version of iOS.
See here for more information: iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
