HT1212 ipod touch 4 screen is locked and has boxes around clock

My brand new ipod touch 4 has a locked screen. When I try and slide the bar it doesn't do anything but a "block" similar to a text box appears around the clock. Anyone have a suggestion to fix this problem?

I think you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any other one off.. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:

  • My IPod touch Sliding screen is locked and won't slide?

    My ipod touch sliding screen to unlock wont open or slide?

    Try this:
    1. Let IPOD spend all batt,
    2. Recharge it again, (i think it's turn on the primitive datas),
    3. The IPOD let you slide again,
    4. Turn WIFI OFF in SETTINGS
    5. IPOD run well, (calculator, Mp3, notes...)
    I believe there is a internet command or a BUG that block the IPOD.

    Connect the iPod to your computer and charge it for at least an hour and then try to restore the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  If it asks for an passcode and you do not know it place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass the the passcode.  For recovery mode see:

    - 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.

    Sometimes the problem is due to a software glitch and seldom reoccurs. However, sometimes it is due to a hardwae problem.
