Ipod touch 3g (4.3.3) tilt/ screen orientation not working.

i updated my ipod touch to version 4.3.3, and since then, the landscape orientation has not worked. i favor typing and viewing pictures in landscape, but it doesnt work anymore. i also checked the screen orientation lock to see in i accidently locked it, but i didnt.
if anyone, knows anything on how to fix it, lemme know!! ill be eternally grateful.

What is your other iPod device?  If not another iPod touch, then try here:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Since iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad) use different drivers than the other iPods.
Otherwise, time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How do I unlock my ipod touch that shows a red disabled screen, and not been able to connect to the original computer it was sync to?

    How do I unlock my ipod touch showing a red ipod disabled connect to itunes, with the disadvantage of not having the original computer that my ipod was sync to?

    If you have a passcode to the screen lock that you've forgotten, you'll need to restore the iPod. Since you don't have the original computer, this will erase all the content on the iPod. For information and instructions, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1212
    If that will not work, you'll need to put the iPod into Recovery Mode and then try the Restore again:

  • Ipod touch stuck on 'connect to itunes' - Restore is not working

    We've got an Ipod touch (no idea on generation) that we were trying to sync some apps to from a laptop (not mac), they wouldn't sync so we tried resetting the ipod and syncing everything together. After resetting when we tried to access the ipod on itunes it just came up with 'could not connect to itunes store' (where we are it is currently blocked) which meant that we could not access the ipod via itunes in any way and then ipod was then stuck on the 'connect to itunes' screen.
    We tried turning both it and laptop off and on again, disconnecting etc. Then tried the restore using the home and on/off button which triggered the restore via itunes by putting it into recovery mode and it downloads everything fine but the ipod still remains on the connected to itunes screen - we've now tried restoring it 4 or 5 times.
    I was confused as to why the ipod wanted to connect to the itunes store in the first place because it has never asked to do so before and as it is blocked here then for every sync before this it has not been connected nor has it wanted to be. Perhaps it's to do with the apps? But there are apps already on the ipad. Perhaps taking the laptop and ipod to somewhere with wireless where the itunes store isn't blocked will allow us to access the ipod and restore/reset/sync and that will fix the issue?
    We're loathe to take it all the way to the nearest apple shop, especially on a wet Sunday, just for them to tell us that their only advice is to trigger the recovery mode which we know doesn't work! So any other advice is much appreciated.
    Just to clarify, we have been through recovery mode 4 or 5 times and done a full restore on it, with it downloading all the software and firmware and it hasn't worked.

    To restore an iPod an internet connection to the iTunes store is is required. iTunes on the computer has to g to the Apple server to verify that it is using the latest firmware update.

  • [iPod Touch 3G 32 GB] Auto-Rotate Funktion is not working anymore [Auto-Rotate Lock is not activated]

    Aloha, apple-community
    It seems like i have a very big problem. A few months ago, i noticed first, my iPod wont rotate properly if i tilt it to the left or right sometimes. i had to tilt it twice and than it worked. But after a week, it completly stopped working. Whenever i turned my iPod to the right or left side, nothing happened.
    So i had the idea to restart it, which fixed it for a short time. After the restart was done, i was able to tilt for about 2-5 mins, later the problem appeared again
    Today, nothing is working. Even in Games my iPod wont tilt or even react to any motion i do...
    Well, kinda novel, i know, but i want to be as precise as possible...
    so here are the things i already tried:
    - Updated iTunes to 10.5.2
    - Restored to a Backup
    - Restored to the factory settings
    - Jailbreaked my iPod to downgrade to an earlier Firmware (from 5.0.1)
    - updated again to 5.0.1
    - i made sure, the rotation lock is off, so please don´t give me the advice to double tab the homebutton, swipe left and tab on the lock
    - started crying and thinking about throwing the iPod out of the window
    by the way, my warranty is not active anymore...
    so please guys, do you have a solution or even an advice for me?
    Greatly appreciated,
    Elias

  • My ipod touch fourth generation keyboard and unlock button are not working

    my ipod touch fourth generation was working at one moment and then when i went to unlock the screen and type in the passcode it would not let me swype the unlock button and when i turned it off and back on again and the passcode section popped up it would only let me type the 1, 2, and 3 buttons and now it is not letting me type at all. What do i need to do? The screen is also cracked but when i cracked the screen i was still able to see what i was doing and still able to use the ipod but this was before the keyboard and unlock button stopped working, I dont know if the screen being cracked would have anything to do with the keyboard and unlock button not working. PLEASE HELP ME

    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 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. Could be the crack progressed to the point thtt portions of the screen no longer respond to touch

  • IPod Touch 5 home button, power button and charging not working!!

    I have an iPod Touch 5 I got last year for Christmas, so it's about an year old. The home button has not been working recently so I tried everything to fix it but nothing worked. We took it to places to get it fixed but it costed a fortune that I would have bought a new iPod Touch instead. I just used the Assistive Touch instead. Then today I was using my iPod Touch and I turned it off. About a minute later I went to get my iPod Touch and used it again and threw it on the bed because that's what I always do and it never breaks. Then a few minutes later, I got my iPod Touch from my bed and I tried to turn it on but it wouldn't budge. Then I remembered it had low battery so it must have shut down because it had no more battery power left. I charged my iPod Touch and tried to turn it on a again but i wouldn't. It would normally turn on and show the Apple Logo and go directly to the lock screen but it just stayed black. I searched up how to fix this but the only way to turn it back on is doing something with the home button but I couldn't since it was broken. I tried to find computer but they were all occupied and the only that wan't occupied was a Chromebook but it my USB couldn't fit in because it was too big. I try to find other ways but there was nothing that could work. I think my iPod Touch isn't charging because whenever I charge my iPod and it has no battery power left, it would usually turn on by itself. I really don't want to go out and fix my iPod at a store because it'll cost a fortune. Please help!! Thank you

    Turn on without Home/Power Button
    You need a computer with iTunes which rules out a Chromebook

  • Ipod touch 5th generation overheating and now sound is not working properly

    Got an ipod touch 5th gen a few days ago and it has been working well for the first few days, then last night it came up with an 'overheat' message and turned itself off.  I was surprised as it wasn't working particularly hard when it overheated, just plugged into a speaker system playing an audiobook.  After cooling down and recharging the battery, I was able to turn the ipod back on again, but realised this morning when I tried to watch a video on it that there was no sound coming from the internal speaker.  Also when headphones are plugged in the sound is really crackly.  (the level of crackle changes when you change the volume - it is most crackly in the middle of the volume range and clearer when it is louder).  Before it overheated, it had none of these issues.  Also, it now seems to take longer to charge the battery, and the battery doesn't seem to hold it's charge as long.  Is there anything I can do at home to fix these issues (as we live in a remote area)?

    Try the following but I thing your iPod is defective
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store if it still does not work OK

  • My iPod touch's lock/hold and volume buttons do not work, my WiFi also does

    My iPod has done this for quite a while and the hold button and volume button (no matter how hard or long pressed) does not work. When I go to settings and look at the WiFi button it won't even let me touch it and it says "No WiFi" even when there is. My warranty has run out though and I don't want to have to pay a lot to repair it. Any help?

    I would first try resetting your iPod:
    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.
    Next would be restoring it from backup via iTunes in your computer.

  • Is there any way to redownload iOS 5 my iPod touch 4 th generation white 32 gig is not working right?

    My iPod is not working right. It's slow and lags and just doesn't work and always exits apps. I was if there was any way to redownload ios5 because it does the same things after I've reset about 4 times. Please help! It's even lagging why I am typing this. The thing that I checked below are all of the things that are not working on my iPod.

    You cannot reinstall iOS without doing a restore. But you might first try a software update. If you have iOS 5.0 or 5.0.1, you can update to iOS 5.1 by going to Settings > General > Software Update.

  • Ipod touch keeps giving me a blue screen and wont work, HELP!!!

    So earlier today my ipod gave me a notification that a new ios software update was avaliable so i began the update. But during the update, i got impatient (like i always am -_-) and i decided to turn my ipod completely off by holding down the top and home buttons at the same time like an idiot........HUGE MISTAKE!! Now everytime i try and turn it on, all it does is show the logo and then it goes to a blue screen and the bluescreen fades out to white and stays that way. Each time i try and turn it off it keeps repeating this process. How can i fix this?? Will my ipod be like this forever? HELP :'(

    HI.. i have the same issue... any help !!!!!!

  • IPod touch 3rd gen stuck on white screen and not recognized in iTunes

    So basically I dropped my iTouch in water, removed it and left in a bag of rice for 2 weeks and now the screen is a gray/white colorway and won't show up in iTunes. I've tried doing a hard reset but I can't see if that even works or has done anything. Does anybody have any ideas or solutions for me!?

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.
