Am I the only one whose ipod touch screen is no longer "oleophobic?"

Hello, my first post on the forum, and I have this yet unsolved problem.
I own an ipod touch 3rd gen, purchased in February, the iPad, and the iPhone 4.
Initially the surface on the ipod was really nice and very few smudges occurred. I, not knowing better, cleaned it with various cleaning solutions that are used for reading glasses. Afterward I used a "protecting screen"
Eventually, when the protective screen became annoying I removed it and noticed that the screen is not good anymore. Its clean when you clean it, but it accumulates smudges or fingerprints very quick. This is not even remotely an issue with ipad and iphone touch. and I have not used and will not use cleaning solutions on the ipad or iphone. Whatever the surface is coated with makes it so that there are almost no smudges or prints.
I think this could also be caused by applying the "protective" screens. So be warned and dont rush to "protect" your brand new phone or ipod. You dont want to damage the screen.
So I wonder if anyone else is having this issue? and do you know whether apple can fix this?

Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • 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.

  • So I'm not the only one whose purchased songs are cutting off/skipping

    This has been the most frustrating thing... I'm definitely not new to downloading music from the iTunes store, and I have no idea what's been going on lately with purchased tracks just stopping and skipping ahead to the next track. Thanks to all for the helpful hints on how to redownload the bum tracks by deleting them and going back into purchases. A couple of things I noticed after doing some troubleshooting:
    1. The only time I had issues with tracks was when I downloaded an entire album at the same time.
    2. While going through and finding the duds on an album with 60 tracks (there were 21 of them...), I noticed that in almost every case it was TWO back-to-back tracks that didn't download correctly. So I figure that there may've been some issue with them downloading simultaneously. That's where this tidbit I found on another discussion helps:
    3. Unchecking the "Allow Simultaneous Downloads" box in the downloads tab of iTunes cleared up EVERYTHING. I think...
    I hope this helps.

    You posted this in another thread...
    scratching, freezing, saying 'do not disconnect' for like 6 hours when I plug it into the computer even though itunes says 'ipod update is complete' and other annoying problems.
    Scratches...
    Yes, it will scratch. Again, get a case. Here are some ways to clean it...
    Ice Creme
    iCleaner
    Freezing...
    Try a restore (see my previous post)
    Do Not Disconnect...
    Try clicking the little eject icon next to the iPod in iTunes (under Source). iTunes should eject the iPod and Do Not Disconnect should go away.
    Do Not Disconnect usually stays after the iPod is done updating when Disk Use is enabled. To make the iPod automatically eject go to edit-->preferences with the iPod connected in iTunes. Click the iPod tab and then the Music tab under that. Uncheck enable Disk Use and click OK.
    Post back if disk use is not enabled/when you click eject iTunes says that it cannot eject the iPod.

  • Does anyone know what to do if there is a black bar at the bottom of your ipod touch screen?  It is like the whole screen is shifted upwards and I cant access my top row apps.

    For some reason, there is a 1 inch thick black bar that appeared at the bottom of my screen.  It shifted my whole screen upwards and now I cant access my top row apps.  The ipod still works fine, but I cant figure out how to get it back to normal.  Any ideas?

    Try the sstandard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to fctory defaults/new IPod.
    If y still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The top of my iPod touch screen is darker than the rest of my screen after the newest update?

    So today I turned on my iPod touch (5th generation) and it said there was a software update available. I updated it with no problem, but after the update I noticed almost half of my screen was darker than the rest at the top. (Posting screenshots below) I don't know if it's supposed to be like that because of the update or not. Also, I have a little blue dot (assuming it's a 'dead' or 'stuck' pixel) on my screen that was there when I bought the ipod BRAND NEW on February 13th of this year and I'd like to know if that may be affecting it? Any help would be appreciated! 
    The darker top screen:
    Using apps and Safari the screen is normal:

    Hi iBridgetx3,
    You can try several things:
    1.     Go to Settings>Wallpapers & Brightness, and turn the Brightness up or down
    2.     Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Increase Contrast, and play with the three options available there - I turned off Reduce Transparency, and turned on Darken Colors and Reduce White Point, because I like the color gradation on the wallpaper on my Home screen. But if you don't like it, then make sure Darken Colors is off, and try that with Reduce White Point both off and on to see what you like best
    There are a lot of new settings specifically designed to address the variety of problems that people were having with the initial iOS 7 "look". Play around with them. You will probably find a combination that will suit you.
    Cheers,
    GB

  • AM I THE ONLY ONE WHOSE MAIL IS NOT WORKING?

    I can't get it through my mail program on my powerbook or through the website. Usually I can at least get it through the internet when it goes down on my computer. I am very frustrated with .Mac. Why am I paying for these hassles when I can get Gmail for free?

    A couple of things to try:
    * Double-check sound settings in System Preferences.
    * Reset NVRAM (or PRAM)

  • Once i updated the IOS on my ipod touch itunes can no longer connect to it and gives an unknown error

    I just updated ios to 5.1.1 and now i ccan not connect to itunes with it. It gives me an unknown error. Was not able to restore from back up due to this?

    And what is the complete wording of the error message?

  • My gradson got ahold of my grandaughters IPod touch and I no longer have a settings button.  The time and date on this is wrong.  How can I fix this problem.

    I need help...  I no longer have all of the buttons on my IPod touch screen.  My grandson got a hold of it and boom..  The time and date is wrong also, and I have no access to fix this problem.  There is no settings button.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Assuming that by buttons your mean the icons for various apps are missing, use the Spotlight search feature (double click the Home button and go all the way to the left past the music controls) and search for: Settings. Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Screen layout and also correct the time inthe Genera settings.
    The Setting app can't be deleted or hidden via Restrictions.

  • Ipod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by Itunes

    pod Touch 4G is no longer recognized by iTunes
    Today have been the problem that my ipod touch 4G is no longer recognized by itunes. He'll appear in My Computer as a DigitalCamera etc, but not in itunes. I've already uninstalled Itunes + Ipod rebooted and then installed it to try a different USB port + different USB cables, all useless. No jailbreak.
    Got it now put into DFU mode and restore to read, unfortunately it is still not recognized by my PC but only on the laptop so I must go to my mum´s Laptop and everything transferred from there again ... pity me here is displayed only when the restore Ipods "Can not restore: errorcode 21" or something like that.

    I've now uninstalled the USB device driver but now my iPod listed as a "portable device" and no longer listed under Apple MobileDevice

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

    My IPad 2, IPhone 3GS ans iPod  no longer work with apple TV, I have 2 apple TV in my house and for he last 3 weeks the iPod was the only one we could use for appleTV now none of them works, the apple TV icon does not show up any more. Re-started everything.

    Ok thank you so much, for your timely response.
    RESPONSES:
    1)   When I set up my iMac, I did not transfer any data directly from my windows PC.  I simply used the same iTunes login and account.  I have access to all of the files via the "Purchased" section of the iTunes store.  If I click "Download Previous Purchases"  text, I can download ALL of the purchases I have ever made.
    2)   I have the Apple TV 2, so good news, question answered.  I thought maybe it was the Apple TV 1, but it is the Black model, so bam.  Good response for you.  Well the whole damned reply is an awesome response, just pointing out that one piece of awesome.  I stated that it was an Apple TV 2, and yet you were still good enough to figure I could be mistaken, and provide me with knowleedge just incase.
    QUESTIONS:
    3)   So can my iMac not stream the data directly from itunes, without download?  Apple TV can, but perhaps that is something among many things that maker it unique, and awesome.
    SERIOUSLY.... THANK YOU... 
    I work in the computer support section for the Military.  The only problem is we use Windows , lol.  Well that and i've been gone for nearly 6 months on recover.  I go back next month though I hope.  But working in that field gives me the abilty to judge responses that run inside the same vein.  Your response was so awesome that I half thought I might have written it myself.

    My texts have stoipped getting through to one of my contacts. I can phone him and I can receive his calls and messages. I am the only one of his contacts whose  texts are not getting through. We have both restarted our iphones but the problem continues.

    Have you talked to your carrier (or your friend to his)?  Could be an issue at their end.
