IPod touch 4th gen doesn't respond to touch

I just dropped my iPod touch 4th generation, and it stopped responding to touch. I have no idea what happened. the top half works, so i can listen to music still, but thats all i can do. if i put my thumb sideways in the center of the screen and push down hard, it works. there was already a small crack in the top left corner, but i doubt that has anything to do with it. All suggestions help and are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for a 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

    - Try another cable

  • The home button on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. is not responding, any ideas?

    The title kinda says it all, I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen., that I have had for almost 2 years. And it has worked wonderfully, up until a few day ago, when I noticed that the home button was getting harder and harder to push on. and then earlier today it just stopped working all together. To exit out of an app, I had to stut off the iPod and restart it again.
    I have considered sending it to Apple, but at, $105 (estimated) I was wondering if there was any other ways to fix the problem. And I'm not even sure if it's a problem with the hardware, or the software.
    Thanks!

    Try:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    - If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch
    - If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

  • My ipod touch 4th Gen doesn't give "System update" option in General settings, how can i fix it?

    My gf gave me her old ipod touch. the 4th gen one with the front facing camera, the version is 4.3.3 and I'm trying to update it, but when I go into "general" and right under the "about" option it should give me the "system update" option but it doesn't, is there a reason for that?

    That option won’t appear in iOS versions prior to 5.0; update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.

  • New ipod touch 4th gen doesn't turn on anymore...

    Hi all,
    I got a new ipod touch for Christmas and the other day I just couldn't turn it on any longer.
    I'm sure the battery was still charged, but nothing. I also tried the sleep/wake + home button press for 10 secs, 20 secs, etc. many times, with and without the charger/mac-usb cable connected, to no avail.
    Connecting it to my mac does nothing anymore. Won't charge either...
    Help
    Thanks,

    I would contact Apple. It sounds like your logic board or battery had a catastrophic failure. Apple contact info at link below.

  • Ipod Touch 4th Gen doesn't see my WIFI network.

    I recently erased the ipod and set up as a new ipod (regifted to my daughter) and updated to 6.1.5.  It does not find my network now after the update.  All my other devices connect no issue, as did this ipod before the erase & update.  As a side note, the camera also disappeared after the update.  I erased it again and set it up as new again and the camera reappeared, but still no network.
    I tried to manually enter my network by name and it says it's not found.
    Help?
    I was going to go to the Apple Store but it's nearly an hour away and we're under a foot of snow.  Any suggestions?

    If not:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Then
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod touch (4th gen) doesn't register as a device on my PC

    When I plug in my iPod, it shows that it is charging, but wont let me sync to the main computer. I'll look under devices, but nothing is there. Then, I'll go into wi-fi sync on my iPod, but when I choose my PC, I can't click sync. Is there an issue with my computer, iPod, or is it just as simple as getting a new chord?
    P.s.: I barely got my iPod to charge. (I have to push the charger at an angle, but there aren't any forseeable issues with that.)

    - Try another cable.
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. (this may be the cause)
    - Try another USB port

  • New ipod touch 4th gen restore stops responding

    it has been on the restore mode for HOURS.
    i have followed all instructions to unplug and reset it and try the restore again. Each and every time the restore stops at the same exact spot and does NOT move at all.
    i have tried it 4 times and i am starting to get very angry. i spent a lot on this product and its not allowing me to do anything.
    i need a solution and one that works because ive done everything the support pages say to do and they DO NOT ACOMPLISH ANYTHING.

    At what stage (what part of restore by nam not number) is it stopping?

  • Ipod nano 4th Gen. doesn't charge on AUDI A3 2009 standar car interface

    Hi,
    I'm quite dissappointed with both, my ipod and Audi's interface... i don't know whom to blame, but more likely i think that this might be a firmware issue of my ipod.
    The ipod connects just fine to the car but it won't charge while playing... Can some one guide me on the reasons of this, is Audi's fault? (the manual of audi says that ipod will begin to charge inmediatly after connected)... without charging the whole purpose why i bought the ipod is meaneng less?
    I'm also interested in a workaround in order to charge ipod in the car, but maybe the charging adapters won't work either..
    thanks for the help

    Hi,
    I have the same issue but with 2009 Mercedes AND my new iPod Nano does not charge either when I put it in the Bose speaker system at my house. Had no issues with my older iPod Nano (worked in the car and with the Bose). This is very frustrating because like the first writer commented; the whole reason for having an IPod in your car is lost if it does not charge. So is my only option really to buy separate additional chargers for my car and the home Bose system? Nice... would have kept my old iPod if I would have known this
    Thank you so much if someone can help!!

  • My iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) isn't responding to my Apple headphones!

      When I got my iPod Shuffle (3rd gen), it came with headphones. Since then I've been using these headphones for all my Apple products, so sometimes I use the remote earphone controls to turn up and down the volume, pause songs, play songs, play next songs, and play previous songs. Now, this doesn't work anymore because my iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) doesn't respond to my remote earphone control's commands. Why does this happen? My iPod Shuffle (3rd gen) is updated to the latest version too.

    Hello pagtaljav1,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Since you are using the headphones that came with your iPod shuffle please follow the troubleshooting in the link below, starting at "Reset".

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    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 the screen blacks out or 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.  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."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
