How can I fix my 4G iPod Touch? Bricked, very bad.
I took the iPod Touch 4G apart to change the LCD and Digitizer, I carefully did it, and put the new screen on, but then I got the,"White screen of Death". I didn't worry too much, and did a hard reset, now the iPod won't respond at all, I've tried putting it in DFU, doing another hard reset, I think of I've done it all. The screen doesn't cpleome on, and the iPod wont even make the charge sound when I plug it in. My computer won't even recognize the iPod as being in DFU or anything. It was working before I changed the screen, and after as well. After I did the hard reset it stopped working all together. No dummies saying," Buy a new one.." Or,"Take it to Apple" for easy points. Is there any thing else I can do, or even, what caused this? And is there a fix? Thanks.
I would say the problem is self-inflicted.

- 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.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I fix a frozen iPod touch 4th generation?
I tried to put my pass code in and it frozen and wouldn't unlock. The screen then went to the apple logo screen for five minutes. From the apple logo screen then went to a white screen with colorful vertical lines on the screen. It's now been on this last screen for thirty minutes. I don't really want to replace it or bring it to an apple store because the nearest store is over two hours away. I've tried to press the power and home button and I've held the power button down for five minutes with no results.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch, before giving it to my brother or husband?
Thank you.Are you just trying to deauthorize it from your iTunes account, or do you want to totally erase it?
Your iPod touch is not actually authorized to anything other than the computer you sync it with; it is not authorized with the iTunes store the way your computer is. Giving your iPod to someone else won't give them your store info. Once they plug it into their own iTunes, it will force them to erase the whole thing in order to sync it with their own computer.
If you want to wipe the thing clean before giving it to them, plug it into your computer and choose the option to Restore it. (Or on the device itself, to go Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.) -
How can I tell if my iPod touch is water damaged?
How can I tell if my iPod touch 5th generation is water damaged? It will not turn on or charge but I can't tell what is wrong with it.
Without cracking it open you really can't. This is a long shot, you could try drying it out. Do not attempt to charge or turn on, leave it off. Place it in a sealed bag of uncooked rice for about a week. change the rice every couple of days. After you dry it attempt to turn it on, you my need to charge it first, about 30 minutes. If it works great, if not you may need to reset or attempt to restore. And it may never work again, but for a couple of dollars of rice its worth trying. If you do get it to work the first thing you want to do is make a full backup to your computer. The thing with water damage is you just don't know how long it will continue to work. If you go to Apple be prepared to spend some money, water damage is not covered with the standard warranty. Good luck, hope this helps. Cheers.
