Brand new ipod touch screen not working properly

My sons brand new ipod touch 32gb (well bought april 14) only occasionally will respond to the touch sceen, and when he does get into it the next screens dont work properly. Any suggestions?

Try #2 and 3 in link below. If neither help, it's most likely a hardware issue then. Contact Apple and get it serviced.

  • Brand new IPOD touch does not work w Bose speaker docking station is there anything that needs to be done?. The Nano that I have works fine.

    My new Ipod touch is not working with my Bose Speaker docking station. My Nano works fine.
    Any reasons for this?

    Does Bose say it will work with your model iPod and iOS?
    Does it appear that the iPod fully seating in the dock?

  • Brand new ipod touch does not work

    Brand new ipod does not work will not sync or power up.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

  • Brand new iPod Touch is not being recognized by my computer

    Hello,
    I just bought a brand new iPod Touch. I had iTunes installed since this is a replacement to a very old iPod. When I plugged my new iPod Touch to start the very first sync, iTunes crashed and started giving me a Windows 7 error (999). After many frustrated attempts to reinstall iTunes (and a few blue screens in between), I followed a recommendation in one of the postings to delete all the Apple programs in a certain order. It worked and I was able to reinstall iTunes. The problem now? My USB, which at one point kept asking for the software to install the iPod, won´t recognized it anymore. Period. I´ve rebooted several times and whenever I plug my iPod in any of the four USB ports, absoluletely nothing happens, as if nothing had ever been plugged in. I tested the USB with my blackberry and it recognized it. Please help!! Thanks!

    Ok, I just figured out so I´ll post it here in case someone has the same issue. I turned off my iPod while connected to the computer. Afterwards, the "other" connection showed up again in the device manager but this time it stayed there without disappearing and with the exclamation point on. I then proceed with one of the instructions in this posting to install the driver for the apple mobile which then showed up in the USB section of the hardware (it was never there until now). Bingo! I got my iPod Touch to connect for the first time! But seriously, why should it be so hard???? I'm concerned with the number of postings here. It looks as if Apple is selling the hottest toys but not be the best ones in terms of quality...

  • Brand new ipod touch suddenly stopped working. please help!

    I was messing around on my brand new ipod touch and it suddenly crashed. it flashed a static-y black and now the screen is bluish white and won't change. I tried holding both the home button and the black button on top of the ipod and neither helped. I even connected it back to my mac book but nothing happened. please help! i've only had it for two days!

    That sounds like a mechanical problem.  You might want to insert and remove the headphone plug several times and see if it fixed the issue.  If it does not, call Apple.  800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

  • Brand new ipod touch will not sync?

    Bought a brand new ipod touch.  Tried to sync to iTunes on my computer.  Checked all music in library, clicked sync, ipod says it is syncing, computer says sync is complete, but there is no music on the ipod.  Have repeated process a dozen times.  Have tried automatic sync and manual sync.  Have disconnected, reconnected.  Have restarted both devices and tried again.  No error message, gigabytes show nearly nothing used up, on the computer and on the ipod, even after it says the sync was successful/is complete.  Argh, help!?

    Hi jen,
    When you say all of the Music is checked, do you mean checked in the library? When you hook up your iPod to the computer, you also have to make sure that the "Sync Music" box is checked on the Music tab for the Device Profile....
    Cheers,

  • Brand new iPod touch will not connect to home wifi

    Monday I got a brand new iPod 4 to replace my previous one, as the home button had failed unexpectedly. The new iPod is working fine, running the latest iOS but when I try to connect our secure home wifi, it won't accept the password. We have reset the password and I've reset network settings. I'm so frustrated, because everything else connects to the wifi BUT my iPod will not take our correct password. What can I do? Should I take it back to Apple? I'm already annoyed by having to get a new iPod. The last one connected just fine but now this one won't.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Try:
    - 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 the router
    - Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. done
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • New ipod touch slider not working

  • Brand new iPod touch did not come with iOS 8

    Just got a new 16 GB 5th Generation iPod touch.  Not only does it not have iOS 8, I cannot get it to update from 7.1.2.  Why is Apple advertising the latest iOS on these devices but selling them with an older operating system?  Did they actually sell me an older iPod?

    iOS 8 was released on September 17, 2014. It is possible that you got one that was manufactured prior to that time. They don't go back and unbox them all and upgrade them. Similar thing happened to me with a MacBook Air that I bought shortly after an operating system was released. It should however be easily updated. You may be able to get help with that issue here or from Apple support or return it if still in the return period.

  • Help my Ipod Touch is not working properly.

    the password lock that I have on the Ipod Touch will not allow me to type in my password, please help.

    If after you charge it for about three hours and it only last about five minutes the battery is probably dead or there could be another hardware problem.  I would go back to the Apple store and ask them specifically how can it be OK if the fully charged battery only lasts five minutes.

  • Touch screen not working properly

    I've encountered a weird problem with my newly purchased iPhone 3G S.
    The touch screen doesn't work as it ought to. I.e. when I "slide to unlock" nothing happens at first if the iPhone lies on the table, but if I pick up the phone and hold it in my left hand while sliding to unlock with my right the touch screen suddenly works flawlessly. It also work when it lies on the table and I hold two fingers on each side of the phone while I operate the phone with a third finger!?
    If my description doesn't make sence I've documented the problem with this small video (please disregard the sound - I'm speaking Danish).
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcyscv8wFg0
    This isn't my first iPhone and it wasn't an issue on the 3G version that I had earlier.
    Have anyone of you got an idea how to fix this or do I have to RMA a 14-days-old phone?
    Best regards
    Kenneth

    But, you'll probably end up exchanging it.

  • Brand new iPod touch will not turn on. Goes straight to dead battery screen.

    Hello.
    I recently purchased a refurbished iPod touch to develop apps on. I have had the iPod touch for about a week and last night the iPod suddenly shut off in the middle of use. The battery was low so I figured it was simply a dead battery and I went to plug it into the charger. This morning, I tried to turn it back on after about 10 hours of charging and I got the same dead battery plug in charger screen. I then swichted it to a usb slot on my macbook and left it to charge all day for about 9 hours. Again, I turned it on and nothing, just a dead battery screen. Both usb slots on my computer are working completely fine for my other devicesbut not this. I have also tried plugging it into the wall, but I get the same results. One other possibility is that I have the iOS 8 Beta on my phone currently and I have experienced some issues with that, but not enough to brick my device...or at least I thought. I have only had this device for a few days and so far I am very disappointed that this has happened already. If anyone can help me out without having to go to an Apple store for service that would be great!
    Thanks

    So did you iPod 5th gen worked again? I had similar experience. This is my own iPod (not refurbished), so I know it was
    in great condition (I rarely used it but only for dev). I installed iOS8 Beta, and one morning, the screen won't turn on.
    I plugged in power and nothing happened. After a few min, I heard that characteristic "power beep" and thankfully,
    it came back to live. What I noticed is that I have > 90% power. So whatever happened, it isnt because it's low in
    battery.
    I have a suspicion it is entirely due to iOS 8 beta. Such a thing never happened to my iPod till the day I installed it.
    My theory is that it is doing something busy, or there's a bug in the "waking" mechanism, and become extremely
    sluggish to any external input, until it is done with whatever mysterious things it was doing. I am now putting it
    in air plane mode whenever i don't need it, and also turn off icloud back up. Hopefully, I don't see this anymore.
