  • The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.

    The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
    Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

    Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    You're going to need to do an RMA with MSI. Most likely there isn't anything we can do here to help you.

  • What do I do if my screen is not working but I am receiving text messages?

    My phone began to have issues on Sunday and since then I have not been able to unlock my phone. My power button does not work and when I press my home button nothing comes up. If I hold it down Siri will talk but it usually takes about 5 minutes for it to begin. I know my phone is working because I am hearing the message notifications. Please help!

    @FOREwolf
    Have you tried holding down both the home and power button until it turns off.  Then when it turns off, simply press the power button to power back on. 

  • My i phone 4 screen went completely black and screen will not work but i can screenshot and other buttons vibrate and make a sound the screen just dosent respond.

    my home button was not working and I was in my settings looking for the advert touch or whatever it is called and my phone went completely black. al the buttons worked such as screen shotting (it made the sound) and turning on my ringer, the screen just didn't respond. I left it alone and plugged in over night and it hasn't done anything different. I also plugged it into my computer and it still did nothing. what can I do to resolve this problem?

    Try a Reset...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.
    3: If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try using the steps in this article to force the device into recovery mode.

  • Screen isn't working, but the ipod does!

    the screen is totally black with a lime green line and a blue line next to it on the left side.
    i click menu a lot..scroll down four times and press the center button to shuffle my music.
    to switch to the next song i have to press the next button like 5 times.
    i can use it fine that way, but i cant view anything at all.
    is there anyway i can fix the screen?
    its not cracked, broken or leaking.
    thanks.

    oboewan,
    I have the old Classic Nano Ipod and I was having the same problem. The display had actually frozen on the song that had been playing. I could fast forward to the next song and rewind to the previous song, but I could not see what was happening. I tried what you said, *+"Try a reset (flip the hold switch on and off, then hold the Menu and Center buttons one finger on one button, one on the other for 6-8 seconds http://the Apple logo should appear, but this might not be an option for you.)"+ It worked!! My classic Ipod Nano display is working just fine now. I guess I can cancel my appoint with the "Genius" at the Apple Store. You're awesom!! Thanks So Much!!

  • My iPod touch 4th generation's screen is part white but,my iPod still works but I can see only part of the screen.Does this mean part of my screen is broken? Or is there a way to easily fix this? If so please tell me how to fix it.

    I need help on knowing how to fix my iPod touch's screen.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for &199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs.. They do not fix yours.

  • I Just upgraded to the lastest iTunes version, why does my iTunes freeze every time I connect my iPod but yet it still plays music?

    I've never had this problem before but since I've updated my iTunes, it freezes as soon as my iPod gets connected. Ever more strange, the music plays in the background but yet iTunes is frozen. Any help?

    It appears that my iTunes is recignizing my iPod as an iPhone for some reason...could that be the problem?

  • Phone screen NOT working but phone IS working

    Like the subject says, my screen is not working, but phone works fine.
    I was able to guess the 'turn on USB storage' button and I got everything backed up.
    I didn't drop or let my anger loose on the phone =P.
    This is my 3rd replacement phone! I read another thread on the first page of someone complaining they are on their 4th phone. Prior to that reading, I was hoping I could upgrade or convince them to give me a NEW phone rather than a used. I guess that won't be happening.
    I also tried all sorts of battery pulls including waiting 30min before I put it back in...none of this worked.
    So I guess my best bet atm is to take it in to the store?
    Thanks!

    I am on my second Droid. The first one was damaged due to me dropping it. I have insurance and had a replacement sent to me. A month later I get the BSOD Black or Blank Screen of Death. I did the battery thing as well as a hard rest and nothing.
    I am three months away from an upgrade and I am starting to think of downgrading to just an ordinary phone.
    It seems that smartphones are too problematic and require dealing with multiple parties i.e Verizon, Motorola, and the Insurance company for the phone.

  • I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

    I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question. 

    Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
    Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.
