Ipod touch 2g Screen presses random keys even when screen isnt touched...what is the fix?

the ipod touch 2g presses random keys by just moving it...it moves when i E mail and skips songs anyone know a fix???

Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factoery defaults.
If still problem you likely have a hardwareware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Charging with iPod cord.  Seems to be charging even when it says not charging in the upper right corner.  Is this what happens when I don't use it's charger?  And is that ok?

    Charging iPad 2 with IPod cord.  Seems to be charging even when it say not charging in the upper right corner.  Is it because I'm not using the cord it came with, and is it ok to use an iPod cord.

    The dock connector to USB cables are interchangeable on the iPod and iPad. That's not a problem. You must be trying to charge using a USB port on your Computer. If the port supplies enough power, the iPd will charge albeit very very slowly  - as long as the Computer is turned on and it is awake.
    You should really use the power adapter that comes with the iPad and it will charge much faster. Using the iPod cord is fine - switch to the supplied power adapter for the best results.

  • When I shut the lid to my computer and then open it again the screen comes on and then goes black and I have to press random keys to make it show again.  Does anyone know why this is happening?

    When I close my lid to make the computer sleep and I open it back up again when I am ready to use it the screen turns on and then turns black.  I have to press random keys to make the screen show again.  Any help is greatly appreciated!

    First, before you sleep your MBP, make sure you either scroll down the Apple menu to sleep your machine, or do it even more easily by pressing CMD-OPTION - DiskDrive (upper right hand corner of your keyboard). I wouldn't just close your machine to let it sleep.
    It's hard to know exactly what's happening, but here are a few pointers.
    1. Go to System Preferences/Energy Saver and make sure you've set a sleep time of more than two or three minutes. Your machine may be trying to sleep too early. In the same preferences, set Computer Sleep to more than ten minutes, to make sure you don't get an unintentional sleep.
    2. Take a look for third-party applications you might have installed.
    Post here with your results!

  • The MAC OSX v10.4 just comes up with the grey apple which alternates with ?. Tried pressing "apple key"  S. Black screen appears Error Loading Drivers. No discs. Any ideas?

    My son has been deleting files. Now when he turns on the MAC OSX v10.4 it just comes up with the grey apple keywhich alternates with a NO ENTRY symbo and ? symbol. Tried pressing "apple key"  S. Black screen appears Error Loading Drivers.
    We have no discs. Any ideas?

    You should have given your son access to a Parental Controlled Account only.   Unfortunately without the disks, and from the sounds of it, no backup, you are stuck.   You might be able to recover the information with an external hard drive and an appropriate data recovery program, but getting the 10.4 original discs is increasingly difficult.  If a Mac is Intel, only the original discs can be used to install 10.4 which you would need to call AppleCare for and hope they still have a copy of, or a cloned backup.   If it is PowerPC G3, G4, or G5, you can probably find the 10.4.6 retail disc, discussed here to Archive and install 10.4.
    Before Archive and Installing, which you can do with either the original 10.4 or retail disc, be sure to attempt that data recovery.  If you choose to try to Archive and Install 10.5, and you have PowerPC, you'll lose access to Classic Applications.   You could upgrade to 10.6 if you have Intel and 1 GB of RAM, or 10.7 if you have 2 GB of RAM, but some application compatibility might be lost the further you upgrade.

  • My ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer

    So my ipod touch wont turn on at all even when i connect it to my computer! it was working fine then outta no where it wouldnt wanna turn back on. i tryed resetting but it doesn't do anything. Also when i put it on the charger it seems to get pretty hot...is the normal? help please...

    There are two different causes of this, either it has been overheated, or the iPod just crashed.  If it crashed, there is one simple step to fixing it.  Letting the battery die.  Do not connect to a charger port, or the device may get overheated, and need to be replaced.  Once it dies, it normally will show the icon, that is needs to be charged. Once you charge it back up, it should go back to normal.  If this doesn't help, then contact apple to the nearest store about getting a replacement.

  • I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off.  It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button together while being plugged into the computer.  What do I do?

    I was on the phone last night and my phone randomly turned off. It will not come back on even when I have tried to hold the home button and the power button at the same time, while being plugged into the computer? What do I do?

    Plug it into power for at least 15 minutes.  If it doesn't automatically come on, try a reset... press the home and sleep (on/off) buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • When working mouse will randomly move even when I'm not moving it

    When working on my computer my mouse will randomly move even when I'm not moving it. It is like I have a ghost mouse that is moving across the screen by itself. I checked and made sure screen sharing isn't on. It occurs randomly from what I can tell. It happened twice tonight where I'm on a window with my hand on the mouse and the cursor will move up to the top of the screen and then to the very left (which will turn on my screen saver). I will make me feel better if someone has seen this to. It happens very quickly and I can get control of my mouse. I have seen this off and on for a while. Anyone else?

    I have the same issue.
    It is a wired Mighty Mouse on a 24" iMac. My Macbook Pro with Wireless Mighty Mouse has never had an issue that I can recall, only the desktop.
    It's pretty **** annoying to be fencing something in on Photoshop and suddenly your mouse is up in the corner of the screen and you've selected half your picture.
    Anyone have any thoughts? What are the common denominators here?
    As I said, 24" iMac running 10.5.5(although it has been happening since I purchased the computer somewhere around 10.5.3) Corded Mighty Mouse, Aluminum Keyboard. Can't think of any other relevant information....

    How can I be certain the contact list in my iPod touch updates my computer Outlook contact list when I sync and not go the other way? The options in iTunes are not specific enough. In other words, I want to replace the information in my computer Outlook contact list with the data from my iPod touch. 

    How is your iPod configured to sync music from your iTunes library?  In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration panes in iTunes?
