IPod 5th generation screen touch sensitivity issues?? Lack of sensitivity!!

Hello all! I am just wondering if anyone else has issues with the sensitivity of their screen to touch? I have to tap my screen multiple times especially along the edges or if the buttons on the screen are smaller. The Airplane mode one is tricky for me.
I play a game called CSR Racing and find that sometimes the buttons don't respond well.
Is anyone out there having any issues with their screens? Should I be worried and call Apple? It gets annoying when you have to tap multiple times or have your finger tip positioned just right.
Post up if you have any issues at all, thanks!!

I've noticed this, too. I have new iPod touch 5th generation. Where I find it troublesome is in something like Contacts or Music. When I am looking for a contact or a song and the list of letters A-Z shows up on the right hand side, I have a to tap a letter several times before I get any response. I wasn't sure if this was a hardware or software problem, or if the letters are so small that my finger hits too many at one time. Then I noticed that when I am relaxing with a game of Solitaire, the cards along the right edge of the screen often won't respond on the first tap. I am curious about this, too. Otherwise I am pretty happy with my new iPod.

  • Ipod 5th generation screen is white and black

    I can't see my music selections or any memu items (i.e. music, artists, song names, albums, etc). The screen is white on the left 3rd and grey/blackish on the right 3rd. I can hear music out of the headphones so I know that is working, but can't see the display. Any thoughts?

    I do not understand. Does the iPod work OK?

  • Where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars?

    where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars? I broke it a few days ago and so far havent been able to find a place to repair it. Also,it would be best if the place was online, because live in a small town with virtually no places to get this done. If you could help that would be sooo amazing! Thank you!

  • HT201365 my daughters ipod touch 5th generation screen is stuck.  It reads IPOD Disabled connect to itunes

    My daughters ipod touch 5th generation screen is stuck.  It reads IPOD Disabled connect to itunes.  HELP!

    Have you considered connecting it to her computer running iTunes? That would seem to be the logical first thing to try...
    It's in recovery mode because someone incorrectly attempted to enter the passcode too many times. It must be restored using iTunes.

  • Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

    Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

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

  • I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. Please help

    I bought an apple iPod 5th generation the other day and I cannot remember the unlock passcode. I have done the restore thing, but because I never set it up or synced it with iTunes, it does not recognize my device. It is disabled for one hour. There's only a few things that could be my passcode, but because it disables for an hour, it is time consuming trying to figure it out. What do I do? I do not care about having to erase everything since it's new and there's nothing on it, but it was never synced with iTunes.

    Disabled
    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.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Ipod 5th generation started loosing its battery really fast and now it wont even turn on.

    My iPod 5th generation is just over a year old and its screen is a bit cracked. a couple of months ago it started to keep its battery less and less and it would go to 100% battery after a couple of minutes and then when unplugged it would die just as quickly. For the past week or so I've had to use it plugged in as it was barely keeping any charge (1 minute) at the most.Last night I was using it and i unplugged it and put it on the shelf i presumed it would be okay through the night as i wasn't using it. But when i woke up it wasn't turning on at all and so i plugged it into the charger. The apple symbol came up for about a minute and then the screen went blank. I thought I'd leave it plugged in to see what would happen but it kept repeating the symbol to blankscreen process. If anyone knows whats wrong with it or how to fix it please tell me. as it took me a long time to save up for it and its a big loss of money for me.
