Ipod screen magnifies without touching it

When I press the "home" button to turn on my Ipod, the screen is automatically magnified. I've learned how to get down to the slide button to get to my icons but even they are magnified. They are so large, I only get 4 full icons on the screen and two half ones at the bottom. I've tried pinching my fingers together on the screen and going into "settings" but I have no idea what I'm looking for.
The screen did this on it's own and will reduce down to the normal size while opening up a program but immediately zooms to the large size when it gets to the new screen.

Disregard, I found the solution within this discussion board. Sorry for my impatience!

Right margin (1/2") of iPod screen unresponsive to touch-Fix?

the right margin (about 1/2" inch) of my iPod 4th gen doesn't respond to touch. Anyone know why - anyone suggest a fix? Already tried a "restore" - it didn't work. However, for a brief while yesterday it was responsive. Now it's not again.

First, 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 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. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. 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. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Can i re calibrate the touch screen for my iPod 4th gen without use of the touchscreen?

can i re calibrate the touch screen for my iPod 4th gen without use of the touchscreen? via CPU or other devices?

There is no way to calibrate the touchscreen.
Just what problem are you trying to solve?

Without touching the screen, only 2 of my apps started shaking randomly. Not the kind of shaking when you want to delete/move. It was odd. Any idea as to what that could be?

An "other" that large usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files. Usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
To restore from backup see:

To restore to factory settings/new iPod see:

So my iPhone screen is completely shattered and it does not respond to touchscreen. I tried unlocking it with the thumb reader, but it did not work. I have since gotten a new iPhone, but I would like to get my pictures off the old iPhone. Any help would be appreciated.
Simply restore from the latest backup you made to iCloud or iTunes, prior to the damage incident. You were backing up to iTunes regularly, or at least using iCloud to backup wireless & automatically... right?
If you cannot make a backup of the damaged device at this point, and you do not have a backup of the data on the device, then you cannot access the data on the device, and it is lost. What would you have done if instead of simply being damaged, it had been lost or stolen?
This is a harsh lesson. Now you know why it is recommended to backup regularly. Learn from your mistake, and don't repeat it.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:

IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works?

IPods screen went black but assisted touch on screen still works? What's would be wrong?? I have dropped it and the lower volume button went partly in side the IPod (thats why i had the assisted touch on) and its been working very slowly fore the last week or so. but other then that it was fine.

With the information given, If the screen is completely black even after the reset, it's sounds as a hardware issue
Could be : The battery
The charger
The phone itself
You can narrow these down one by one preferably.
-If you have an extra battery, test it.
-Try another charging cable or another outlet
If neither of those affect it, you can also wipe the phone, but that's pretty much the last last step you should do since it erases everything. Then restoring it. Time varies.
If you are still having trouble, contacting your carrier, the closest Apple Store, or the technical support line for Apple.

Why does my ipad2 flip pages without touching screen?

My ipad2 has issues with turning pages without touching the screen. Sometimes it happens in iBooks. It does not do it all the time. I did a reset and sold it to a friend. The iPad started crashing and acting crazy shortly after he did his transfer. What could be the problem?

If you don't use Multitasking Gesture, turn it off.
