IPod Touch 3rd Generation - Touch Screen

Is there any way to calibrate the touch screen on the 3rd Generation 64 Gb iPod Touch? Mine is brand new, just out of the box a little over a week ago, and I've noticed that the calibration of the touch screen is a little bit off. Just enough to be annoying when browsing the web or using apps because it tends to cause me to press buttons and select things that I don't mean to.
Thanks!

There is no direct method of calibrating the touch screen of an iPod Touch. There is a support document from Apple which may or may not help you. Please click [HERE|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827] to read it.

  • Ipod nano 3rd generation , blank screen when attached to computer, ipod will not reset??? any help please?

    Hi there,
    I have just purchased a 2nd hand ipod nano 3rd gen.  When I received it the screen was in working order but everything from the previous owner had been wiped.  I attatched to computer and all seemed well, attached it then to itunes and at first it seemed to go ok, however screen then went blank and froze.
    I am now unable to restart ipod.  ipos is still being recognised by itunes so I tried to restart ipod whielst attatched to itunes to to try and put into play mode but still no joy, no apple appearing on screen.
    Ipod was fully charged.
    Any ideas please as I am not the most technical of people and its slowly driving me mad
    Kind Regards
    Lindsey

    How did you try and reset the iPod? To reset the iPod, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  Don't be afraid to try this procedure more than once.

  • Ipod Touch, 3rd generation, blue striped screen, then... nothing

    I have an ipod touch 3rd generation, version 4.2.1 (I think), model A1288, 8gb.  A month ago it stopped working and wouldn't respond to a reset by pushing the on and home buttons together, and it wasn't recognized by itunes or by my Vista OS laptop.
    After sitting for weeks, the battery must have died and I charged it and it turned on and it seemed to work fine for a day.  Then overnight it crashed and died again.  I don't know what caused the crash, it wasn't being used at the time.  When I reset it following the crash, I got the apple logo, but nothing more... and then a black screen.  When I reset it again, I got a purplish, blue laterally striped screen with the apple logo in the middle ...and then it turned black and wouldn't respond. 
    Since that time, nothing I do will cause it to turn on or respond in any way.  No apple logo, no screen activity of any kind.   When I connect it to itunes, the computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't respond to it.  When I connect my ipad to itunes, it's recognized just fine.  I've never seen this before.  Any ideas on how I should proceed with repairing this?  If I could get it to start up, I could look for updates and uninstall apps to try to eliminate a conflict, but I can't get it to respond at all.  Thanks for any ideas or help you can offer. 

    - After charging for at least an hour see if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
    - Next try DFU mode

    - Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have an iPod touch, 3rd generation, and when I push the button to put it to sleep, my iPod takes a screen shot.  It's really annoying.  Is this a result from updating to iOS 4.3.3?  Also, my screen is EXTREMELY sensitive-breathe on it and it turns on.

    - Are you also having problems with the Home button?  Maybe it is sticking a little since to take a screen shot you depress the Home and Power/Sleep buttons at the same time.
    - I have not seen your problem discussed here before.
    - I would first try resetting the 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 to restore the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Generation does not get to start-up screen

    Help!
         my ipod touch 3rd generation will not load the start-up screen but follows a cycle, connecting to the USB port of a computer the ipod shows Battery Low
    Indication; after about 3 minutes of charging the Apple logo appears and remains for approximately 3-5 minutes before the ipod turns off, and this cycles with
    battery charge.
    The ipod cannot be reset, and when connected to a computer running iTunes the ipod is not recognised, leaving me unable to follow the restoration or recovery
    instructions found on this site.
    Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong and a potential solution to the problem?

    See if this program will get the iPod i recovery mode:
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode | Jaxov
    Next see if DFU mode will let iTunes see the iPod so you can restore the iPod.

  • The screen on my ipod touch 3rd generation will not respond to touch, it will not work at all.

    My ipod touch 3rd generation fell off of a chair, it worked ok fow a while then the bottom half of the screen would not work, now the entire screen is not working
    I'm not sure what to do.

    You can try the following to rule out a software probem:
    - 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 from backup
    - Restore to  factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem they yu very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPod Touch 3rd generation is not turning on and gets really hot when I plug it in but is not charging...

    I have an iPod Touch 3rd generation and yesterday I was using it and noticed that it reset to a different time zone and when I dug a little deeper realized that it reset the date to December of 1969. I just went in and changed it all back. I was out of the house all day today and didn't take it with me, when I went to use it, it wouldn't turn on. I assumed it was dead, so I plugged it in and got ready for bed. I realized that the charging screen never appeared and it never made the little noise it does when you plug it in. I picked it up and right near where the charger plugs in, it was very hot. I use it when it'd plugged in from time to time and it is NEVER that hot. I then tried to plug it into the computer where it again didn't do anything and didn't show up as a device that was plugged in on my iTunes. Again, it got very hot very quickly. I am using the cord that came with it and an actual Apple brand wall charger. I don't know what else to do. Some people said to hold the two buttons down for a little bit, but nothing happened on mine. Please help!

    Warm is normal, too hot to handle, literally, is not.
    If you're concerned, make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check your charger out.

  • Ipod Touch (3rd generation) connection to a TV

    Can anyone tell me how to connect my Ipod Touch (3rd generation) model A1318 to a TV to display YouTube and Video?
    The Apple Store have advised me that they don't have a cable that will do this but to use a third party one with third party software from Itunes.
    Thanks,
    Steve.

    There is no special software.  You just need apps that support TV out.  Just not that TV out does not mirror the iPod's screen.
    You do not need a dock, just the cable.  From the link I provided:
    A dock can be a welcome addition if you're going to keep your cables connected to the TV. The Apple Universal Dock includes an Apple Remote so you can pause and adjust the volume from a distance

  • IPod Touch 3rd Generation stuck in recovery mode

    My daughter got an iPod Touch 3rd Generation for Christmas which was on version 3.1.1. iTunes told us an update to 3.1.2 was available and would we like to update it, we selected yes. The update downloaded and then the iPod wouldn't restore and is stuck in recovery mode with the iTunes symbol and the USB on the screen and giving us an error message 1604. We have tried different ways to get it to restore but it wants to update it to 3.1.2 which apparently has a problem with it. How can we get it to restore back to 3.1.1?

    I had the same problem yesterday. I tried restoring countless times, reinstalling iTunes... teh whole nine yards. I eventually called Apple, they didn't know what was wrong with it either.
    Unfortunately, its the Touch, not iTunes... you are going to have to return it to where you bought it, and exchange it for a new one. Call Apple, and they will give you a number to give to the store. Alternately, you can go to an Apple store, if you bought it at a retailer (Best Buy, Walmart, ect.) and see what they can do.
    Best of luck! ~*~

  • IPod touch 3rd generation problem. Please Help!

    Recently my ipod touch 3rd generation has gotten two gray vertical stripes on the sides of the screen. I have never dropped it and never had anything heavy on it. Is there a way I can fix it?

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore ( from backup and as new)
    Try all of these.
    If this fails then it is likely a hardware issue.

  • Ipod Touch 3rd generation battery life

    I couldn't find an answer to support this question, so I'm putting up a new post. I recently got the new ipod touch 3rd generation (32gb) a few weeks ago. I got the customization so it shipped directly from China. I seem to be having a problem with horrendous battery life and I don't know if it is a bad one or not. I have the BT always turned off and wi-fi most of the time, but I find that my battery drains from fully charged very quickly, especially if I access wifi. My ipod can drop 50% battery life in 20-30 minutes just "surfing" for apps or accessing a safari link from, for example, the kindle app or nytimes app. I am aware that some apps use more power than others, but I'm finding this life thing horrendous. I have the screen set pretty dim, only use the email function "on access" (no 'push' enabled), no auto-sync for nytimes, etc. I don't know what to do as this was as customized engraving iPod and I feel like everyone I know has fine battery life. Any help much appreciated. We have an Apple Store here in town but can they check it out for me? It has the 3.1.2 version software. Thanks!
