After dropping my IPod touch gen 5 down the stairs accidentally the touch screen became unresponsive. please help me fix it without costing too much.
I want an inexpensive way to fix my iPod as I cannot afford another one. please help me..
If you are good with electronics, as in taking things apart and putting them back together, I would buy a used touch screen off of eBay or a trustworthy site, then take the front off of the iTouch, replace the screen and put the front back on. If you are not good with electronics, I would either take it to a repair shop or send me an email with video/ image of the damage at [email protected]

HT201272 my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new ebay app how do i get?
hi,
how do i get the old ebay app my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new version?If you didn't previously download the eBay app and have it still in a backup or somewhere, then you can't. The current version of the eBay app requires iOS 4.3 which will not run on a 2nd-generation iPod touch.

GOOD DAY I JUST WANNA ASK IF,, WHAT IS THE POSSIBLE THING FOR ME TO DO IF MY IPOD 2ND GEN HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BACKLIGHT,,, IT ALWAYS TURNS INTO DIM WHEN I USE IT ,,, BUT SOMETIMES IT WORKS JUST FINE,,, PLS TELL ME WHAT TO DO,, THANKS AND MORE POWER
Please don't shout.
Has the unit EVER been jailbroke? Has it EVER been dropped? Did it EVER get excessively wet? Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
If "No" to all the above, first 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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen 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. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
On my ipod touch my songs start in random places and jump to different places as it plays, the remember position is not ticked can anyone please help?

Hi, my ipod (2nd gen) won't connect to the internet via Safari or through apps but my email does work. Any ideas without needing to reset the ipod?
- Have you tried when connected to other networks? Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by Safari and the other apps.
- What kind of network are you using? a personel or bussines? -
My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. HELP!!!
My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. I could download the first half of the episodes. Help! I really like them. It says "it can't be played on this device." Many other podcasts are doing the same thing. Is my ipod too old?
Hi tinafromodense,

My iPod 5th gen won't connect to internet, and symbol is grey. Help!
My iPod touch 5th gen ,with I.O.S 7.1.1, will not connect to the internet at all. If I go into settings the the wifi slider will not slide at all. And if I use the slide-up section of my iPod, that displays bluetooth, airlane mode, wi-fi ect, the symbol of wi-fi is grey. Please help. Have you encountered this problem, or have seen it before, can you show me how to fix it, because without wi-fi my iPod is essentially half useless.
DIM/GRAY
See:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

the apps we have downloaded are not working, please help, extremely frustrated with our ipod 4
See my previous reply for for the apps closing.
For the wifi problem:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect OK before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- 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.
