Becaise the digitizer is broken in that area
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.

    Hi there Graham!
    I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
    iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
    Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
    Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues

    Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

    No.  The 4G Nano does not have an external speaker.

  • I have a nano 4th generation 8gb i have tried resetting it, i get the apple logo come up but nothing else happens.  It will work in my docking station  but as soon as i take it out it will not respond.  any ideas, do i need a new battery?

    It definitely sounds like your Nano needs a new battery at this point.  You can have Apple replace it for a flat fee, send it into a third party service center to be replaced for much less, or you can purchase a new battery online and swap it out yourself if you feel up to it.

  • I cannot find the next and previous button in iTunes get info menu? Is there anyone that has also experienced this problem that can help me please

    I cannot find the next and previous button in iTunes get info menu?
    Is there anyone that has also experienced this problem that can help me please
    I have the lates version of Itunes

    I have managed to figure out how to solve this problem, after looking around I saw a lot of people kept saying makesure it is list view however this still did not work, I found the only way for me get these buttons back was to change the Movie to a TV Show and only then did the "Next" and "Previous" button appear. Right Click> Get Info > Options > Media Kind and then Select TV Show, this is extremely inconvienent but the only way that I found that has worked so far.
    Hope this works for you too!!

    Hello Connie,
    You may need to scroll over in your iTunes window to see the Games tab or change your monitor's screen resolution.

  • HT204368 My A2DP enabled Bluetooth headset does NOT play music. How can I fix this?

    I used to listen to music on my Motorola H-17 bluetooth headset. After the headset broke I bought a new one, specifically a Motorola H-17txt bluetooth headset.
    It pairs with my phone, and works fine with phonecalls, but when I play music it only plays out of the phone itself, not the headset. When I open up the audio output options in the music app, there is no option for the headset. When I open up audio output options in voicemail, the bluetooth headset option is right there.
    I made sure this was an A2DP enabled bluetooth headset before I bought it.
    What could the problem be? How might I fix it?

    it could be broken
    I would test it with another device which supported a2dp most computers bluetooth (if they have bluetooth most laptops does)
    other phones also
    if it works with nothing then it's broken or does not support a2dp correctly
    if it works with everything else then it's just strangely incompatible with your iphone

  • Strange Blue Vertical Lines All Over Anything that White on the Screen

    My screen always showed blue vertical lines on anything that is white on my Macbook Pro screen, but when I moved the screen back and forth a few times the blue lines just gone. It always happens when I took the Macbook Pro from a bag and waked it up and once and a while during normal usage. I took picture when the blue lines happen but I couldn't post it on the forum.
    I sent my Macbook Pro to local Apple Center but they couldn't find the problem. They has checked the screen connector for me but the problem still exist.
    Anyone, any idea what causing this?

    Don't get me wrong and I don't think anyone like to have dead pixel, do you?
    I understand the LCD screen could come with dead pixel. I can live with a few dead pixels and I have no problem except any dead pixel from USAGE. With the new notebook or LCD screen I have a choice to check for the dead pixel and other false before I take any of them back home and if there any dead pixel happen after I am start using them I can accept it.
    The thing that difficult for me to accept is the replaced LCD came with the dead pixel (my previous screen didn't have any dead pixel) and I don't have any other choice but to accept it. I feel like I have been forced to accept it.
    My perception on Apple product quality still good. I will continue buy Apple product. But I disappoint in Apple service policy (not quality as I mention before, sorry) because I expect they would be better or different from others.
    ps. They changed my screen because they don't have a replacement only for screen cable so they replace the whole screen.

  • IPod nano (5th Generation) Black Screen but still plays Music

    Problem:
    I see a black screen and no backlit normal screen - there's a faint Apple Logo when the device is turned on.
    I can navigate the scroll wheel and hear the audible "clicks" when circling the scroll wheel.
    I can push play and it will play music just fine. FF, Rewind, Menu, Play/pause all work correctly.
    Tried the following:
    Menu + Select + held down for 5-10 seconds.  faint apple logo dissapppears then I push Play and it re-appears.  Still plays music just fine but screen still black with faint apple logo and no back light.
    Restore Factory Settings via iTunes.  It erased all media.  put a song on there to test.  can play song but same issue (no back light OS, just  black + faint apple logo on the display)
    Tried Rewind + select to enter diagnostics - nothing happens, same issue
    Please help.

  • Screens get vertical lines, can't read

    Intermittently, whatever is displayed on the screen is replaced with a pattern of vertical lines when the mouse is clicked, or the scroll-arrows used. It happens in all programs. Pressing the power button to sleep and then again to wake-up the machine sometimes fixes it for a few minutes, sometimes not.
    I ran a hardware test and the ATI Rage 6 video card and everything else passes - no problems found.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be most appreciated!
    Thank you.

    Hi dadlera,
    You did not post back with info about your display that you are using.
    One thing you can try is to reset PRAM.
    "Mac OS X: What's stored in PRAM"
    " Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM"
    Certain display and video settings are held in PRAM.
    Also, is it possible to test using another mouse and/or display (borrowed perhaps to test?)?

  • I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup. How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation back onto the new hard drive on my pc.

    I lost my iTunes library on my pc when the hard drive crashed. None of the data on the drive was recoverable and I did not have a backup either locally or on the cloud. Much of the music is from old vinyl and podcasts which are no longer available.
    How can I get the music that resides on my ipod nano (4th generation) back onto the new hard drive on my pc.
    I have been reluctant to install iTunes on the new hard drive out of fear that I will lose all the contents on the ipod if I try to synch to the new hard drive.
    Help!

    No backup is a huge mistake.
    You can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • My touch screen on my ipod Nano, Generation 6 has gone completely white. I can still play music if I "accidently" touch the right icon. Does anyone know how I can fix this. Also I have 2 other ipods that i can't sync anymore, it says they are not compatib

    My touch screen on my ipod Nano, Gen 6 has gone completely white. It had started going white the day before. I tried resetting it but to no avail. Does anyone know how I could fix this. Also I have 2 other ipods that I am no longer able to sync. It comes up with a message (best I can remember) something to the effect that my itunes version is not compatible with my ipod. Please help. I'm tired of buying new ipods when the new hasn't even worn off of them!!!
    Thanks

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable
    - 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.
