How to know if the display colors of an iPod Touch are correct?

It's a 5th generation, 32 GB silver model.
I bought it yesterday and have been using and checking it, and I have this impression that the colors on the screen are a bit greener than normal, as if the color balance was slightly off. I know there was an upgrade from the 4th gen Retina to the 5th gen augmentating the saturation so perhaps it's just the change what makes me wonder, that I'm not used to it. But I really see that the colors just don't seem normal or not natural, as if you took a picture of something and then added a bit of green in an editing program. I even took a picture of a plain yellow album cover in front of me and in the screen it looked a little bit paler and colder in tone when comparing both objects side to side, while the album seemed warmer.
I'm keen to see this kind of details and if it's really something odd I'm probably going to have to struggle when I go back to the store, because it's not an obvious defect (hypothetically speaking) like lines on the display or one earbud not working. Is there a way to prove this wrong for myself and get out of doubts, as in calibration or something similar? What should I do if resetting to factory settings doesn't change it? Thanks.

Color is very subjective. The one way is to compare it with another 5G iPod or maybe an iPhone 5. You can do that at an Apple store or if you know someone who has one of those devices.

    I have an iPod Touch and seemed to have lost the app store (And access to it).  How do I restore the App store to my iPod touch?

    Hello gmen3,
    Do you have at last iOS version 2.0 or later?  If so, make sure the App store hasn't been disabled from under the Restrictions setting.  To check, head to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. You might also want to make sure it wasn't move to a folder or to another page.

    how do i transfer the music and apps from ipod touch to iphone

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
    Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

    How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow 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.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • How can I maximise the storage on my 64GB iPod Touch?

    I have 14,000 songs in iTunes and want o make the most of the storage on my 64GB iPod Touch.
    Ideally I want to dynamically increase and decrease the songs store on the iPod, depending on the photos, apps and other files synced with my computer.

    Thanks - I already do that, but my entire song collection won't fit on the iPod, even compressed.
    I may be wrong, but I thought there was an option to sync as many songs (a random selection) as there was space available on the iPod, whilst simultaneously managing and prioritising the space needed for apps, photos, etc.

  • How do you get the photos/videos off your iPod touch?

    Is it through itunes because I can't seem to figure it out. Would appreciate if someone can help me out with this.

    I'll solve my own (and others I'm sure) problem. The Appir iTouch iOS 4.1 .pdf manual was of no help as all it says is: "PC: Follow the instructions that came with your photo application." No help there.
    When you connect your iPod Touch 4th gen via USB, you should see it in the My Computer list of hard drives as a Digital Camera. You can open it up and see the camera files. Note: This in not the Photos as in the ones you put on your iPod via iTunes. Repeat: You cannot use iTunes to get the pictures & videos you take to your computer via iTunes. Strange.
    Also see Apple tech note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1500 This is how to disable the popup that happens to many when you connect your iPod and Windows whats to know what application to run.
    For me, I could not delete the files nor could I Drag & Drop (Copy / Paste) all the files from the iPod to my PC. It would stop transferring data after about 750 files. So I had to find a solution. I searched for programs that supported WIA protocol, which is how files are transferred.
    I tried all of the apps at http://www.photo-freeware.net/transfer-tools.php and the only one that worked.
    That was Cam2PC. One problem I encountered was that after transferring, it opened a Preview window. Unfortunately it doesn't do Quicktime, so when trying to display a thumbnail view of movies, it crashed. You can configure it not to open the preview window after transferring.
    Another program to use is FastStone Image Viewer 4.2. No problems transferring or previewing. It doesn't show all files transferred when it opens it's preview window, notably Quicktime files. It does show screen dumps (.png) files. It is fast, small and so easy to use.
    At last but not least, Nikon ViewNX 2 software. It transfers fast, has many options. Just what you would expect from a digital camera company. It previews Quicktime but not screen dumps. Downside: The program takes longer to load than the others.
    So I'll be using FastStone Image Viewer 4.2 mostly. Hope the above helps out anyone that had the same problem as I did.

  • How do I fix the connection issues on my iPod Touch 4th generation to connect to iMessage?

    I am getting very frustrated with this iPod Touch 4th generation. I have been using my 2nd generation iPod Touch to use iMessage to text people and use as a 'fake iPhone' because carrying around my cell phone and iPod is annoying.
    Basically, I have tried multiple times to change the DNS on every network to the google public server (8.8.8.8) and this does not work.
    I attempt to sign in to my Apple ID on iMessage and it says "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Even though it claims I cannot connect to the internet, I can connect and browse on Safari and other Apps, but iMessage (also Facetime) will never connect or let me sign in. I continually receive that error message that I need to check my network connection. I just don't understand why. iMessage will work on my iPad 3rd gen and my iPod Touch 2nd gen, but not my iPod Touch 4th gen.
    I am using my college's WiFi network and it is hit and miss in my building, but both my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPad 3rd gen can receive iMessages and everything fine. I am starting to think that the 4th gen ipod touch just has a crappy wifi receiver or something.
    PLEASE help me fix this. I don't know what else to do.
    I just updated to iOS 6.1.2 and that did not fix it either.

    I know this question is no related directly to your topic, but I wanted to know how did you get imessage in ipod touch 2g. I have one but it doesn't have imessage. I will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

  • The display Screen of my iPod touch is appearing complete White.

    Hi All,
    Few days before i have attach my iPod touch to my laptop throgh data/charging code provided by apple.
    The dispaly screen is appearing complete white.
    Some time in past i have a same screen problemI It appeared white or some horizantal or vertical lines are displayed.
    But it will resolve immediately as i did shut down and shup up 2 to 3 times.
    But this time is has a serious problem.It is appearing complete white.
    Not a single word is appearing after start up and before shutting.
    Though the screen is white but the sound system is working properly.
    I have tested it with my imagination which icon will appear where and randomly pressed finger in any song.
    And that song was played.
    As per my understanding it may be a OS problem or may be screen problem or Virus problem.
    Please suggest me some needful solution.

    You can get no virus using your ipod, unless you're running modified software on it.
    Try to set it up "as new device" and see if the display comes back. If not, you'll have to get it serviced.

  • How can I locate the owner of a lost Ipod Touch 4g?

    A friend found a lost Ipod Touch 4th generation and gave it to me because he's given up trying to locate the owner. Now I am trying to find its owner (last ditch effort).
    I've never seen this message before, but when I got it, there is a screen saying disabled, connect to iPod. I assume that either it was remotely locked? Or perhaps my friend tried to guess passwords unsuccessfully too many times?
    I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco and the sales rep that was helping me didn't know how to do it.
    I ran three ads in craigslist in different sections - no response.
    My bf used to work for Apple, and is absolutely uninterested or too busy to help me out (nice guy, eh?).
    I don't want to restore the phone and wipe the data, since it may destroy any possible clue as to how to locate the owner beyond the first name and photo that appears when you turn it on. (I tried to see if I could get it connected to iTunes and figure something out, but the phone is disabled)
    Anybody know what I can do? Serial numbers?
    note: In case you are wondering why I am so adamant on finding the owner, I have lost 2 ipods in the past (found one), but the other is gone forever (despite all my "please return to (my contact info)" message I had in place of the passcode screen. I will go pretty far to return this to the owner, because beyond principle, I was sad when mine was never returned to me.

    I took it to the Apple Store in San Francisco
    Take it to the nearest SFPD station.
    And bravo to you for making such an effort to find the owner. They may have reported it lost or stolen to the SFPD.

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • How do I stop the Atomic Browser on my iPod Touch from allowing websites to automatically load my App Store app?

    I have the Bejeweled Blitz app (for Facebooik) on my iPod Touch 4th gen.  If I want to find gems (special items used in Bejeweled) I have to use a browser (I'm using Atomic Browser) on my iPod so I can grab gems from Facebook's news feed.  What's SUPPOSE to happen is this:
    I set Atomic on my iPod to identify itself as Safari mobile (because the Bejeweled Blitz app on the iPod only recognizes Safari).
    I load my Bejeweled app on my ipod.
    I log into Facebook with Atomic and scan the news feed for gems and click on a gem.Atomic opens a new tab and tries to load the link.My iPod then switches from Atomic to my Bejeweled Blitz app and the gem appears in my game.
    When I'm done with the game, I double click Home and swtich back to Atomic.
    I close the new tab and search the news feed for the next gem.
    HOWEVER, the problem is this:  About two-thirds of the time, when Atomic opens a new tab to load the link, instead of my iPod swtching to Bejeweled Blitz, it opens my App Store app and takes me to the Bejeweled Blitz app download page.  Sometimes the problem occurs when I'm done with my game:  i.e., when I go back to the browser, the iPod swtiches from Atomic and loads the App Store app before I even have a chance to close the tab.  It's a big pain in the neck because it takes a long time for the App Store app to load and when I go back to my Bejeweled Bltz app, it acts like it got dumped from memory and has to restart.
    So... How do I make it so that my App Store app ONLY loads when I personally select the app myself?
