IPod touch 4th gen. pixel or hardware issues?

Hey I had a problem with my iPod yesterday, I left it on top of a table . When I came back I tried using it and a white screen came out for a few seconds , after that the whole screen turned to strange colors mostly red orange yellow but displaying the same image I had as background I got pretty scared since the iPod wasn't used since I live alone and it wasnt even exposed to sunlight.
After that ,I turned it off , then turned it back on and it seemed everything went back to normal , all pixels seemed to be normal again , but as I kept on using it i noticed in some parts of the screen whenever the image was supposed display a blue , or dark color that portion of the screen turned red , or other color , I dont think it's a dead pixel or stuck pixel issue since all pixels turn black or white , I think its more of a hardware issue because all the parts of the screen seem to be ok when displaying bright colors , does anybody know what could it be?
Thank you very much

Time to try the R's:
- Reset:
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 via iTunes
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod via iTunes
If no successes make an appointment at the Genius Bar of and Apple store or contact AppleCare.

IPod Touch 4th Gen iTunes Sync Freezing Issue

My iPod Touch 4th Generation freezes during the "Backing up" stage of sync. Nothing I have tried so far has resolved this issue and it's getting very annoying seeing as how I can't sync my iPod at all. I know it isn't just the iPod's fault, because it happened to my older one too. I've done everything I have found people suggesting and none of it has worked. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
I am running Windows 7 64-Bit platform on iTunes 10.6.0.40
Thanks,

Issues With My iPod Touch 4th Gen

I just returned my iPod Touch 4th Gen to the nearest authorized Apple service center. Im just worried about my iPod touch if it will be indeed replaced or just repaired.
The first issue is the light leak on the left side, its huge! i can insert my fingernail between the gap of the metal case and the glass. This hasn't really bothered me since i used a silicon casing.
the second issue is i noticed a bubble under the glass. its like a trapped dirt or something. take a look

still, im still being patient, and i did not bother to return it.
but yesterday, boom, i saw a stuck pixel just around the top left of the screen. it was white all the time. i said to my self, this is not good.
i went to the service center immediately, it will take about 4 days before Apple can confirm if my iPod will be replaced or repaired.
Im just sad because I've owned every Apple product (old and latest) except the Apple TV, and this is the first time it happened, in a product (iPod Touch) with so many issues.
I just want it replaced, not repaired, as it has not even turned 1 month old with me. The store where I bought this only offers 7 days outright replacement, that's why im stuck waiting for 4 days confirmation :(((

When you get it back, and if you still are not happy, call Apple and asked to get transferred to Customer Relations. Calmly explain the situation and they will do what it takes to make you a happy customer.

IPod Touch 4th Gen Sync Issue

I got an iPod Touch 4th gen last week. I started setting it up the other day and successfully sync'd one album even after the latest iOS update. I ripped a few cd's and wanted to add those to the iPod as of today. However, I no longer able to sync anything. I'm using the latest iTunes software for Windows 64 bit. I'm running Windows 7 64 bit. I followed the troubleshooting steps @ http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 to no avail. When I connect the iPod to my pc, I get a sound that it connects, but it just is not recognized by iTunes. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue? I also don't see a way to restore the backup from the iOS update.
Note: This is my first Apple product so maybe I'm missing something obvious.

Try connecting to another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem.

IPod Touch 4th Gen Battery Issue

My iPod Touch 4th gen drains the battery while sitting idle overnight. I listen to it all day at work with normal battery usage. When I got home I charged my touch to 100% then left it disconnected in standby mode overnight and in the morning the it is down to 50%. I checked and there are no apps running in the background. What on earth is happening? I also have a 3rd Gen Touch, with all the same apps and it does not do this.
I have 2 4th gen Touch and they are both behaving the same way.
Any ideas?
Is it possible that FaceTime is polling or something?
Message was edited by: Appleuser73

I am having the exact same problem. I even wiped out my ipod touch, took out all the apps, and turned off all notifications, wifi, bluetooth ect... Then I fully charged it to 100% and left it in stand-by all night. The next morning it was so dead, I had to plug it up and wait about 5-10 minutes until it would even turn on. I sent it back to apple, and they sent it back to me, saying they tried to recreat the issue but it never happened to them. I am at my wits end with it now. And when I sent it to apple, I asked them if I should take off the screen protector, because the man on the phone told me they would probable send me a new one. Well, they sent me the old one, so they made me take off a $23 screen protector, just for them to send me back the old one. I could just scream. Oh and did I mention I sent it scratch free, and got it back with a lovely arrangement of scratches on the back. Thanks apple. You will be hearing from me soon. Let me know if ayone else gets this issue resolved.

IOS 6 issues on iPod touch 4th Gen

I updated my iPod touch 4th gen on Saturday and have had nothing but problems since.
After the upgrade my Touch went into recovery mode and would not move out no matter what I did (eventually sorted it) but since then everytime I go into the App Store and search or even try to get an app it kicks me out.
Anyone else getting this problem or know how to fix it?????

That sometimes happens. 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 iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod Touch 4th Gen Sync issues

I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen but when I sync it with iTunes not all songs come across to the iPod. It's not that they are there and greyed out, they are not there at all? I have forced a sync numerous times and checked all settings to include everything to be synced but still some songs will not go across.
All software is up to date, any ideas?

FIXED MY SYNC PROBLEM:
Finally found out why all of my music wasn’t syncing….. After the short sync time, a box would come up stating that there were “errors” when syncing. They were 14 tracks that had been deleted, but were still somewhere in a playlist.
If your getting a sync error message at the end, and there was a problem with some tracks.
Take a screen shot of the “error” list.
Go to your Library, click on Music, then Playlists.
Search for and delete each individual track name from the "error" list.
Click on iPod and “Sync” again.
Pretty silly that it wouldn't just skip those tracks and sync the rest. Hope this helps.

Daughter's iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode, won't turn on after I restore it, please help...

My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

or
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Is there a way to reset iPod touch 4th gen without the sleep/wake button?

Hey everyone! My iPod touch 4th gen power button is jammed into the iPod itself. This is obviously a big issue, but is not the main point of this post. My iPod has been laggy and slow, so I need to reset it. (NOT restore, but slide to power off; press and hold home+power for 10 seconds) is there a way for me to do this without my sleep/wake button.
Thanks in advance.

To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices

Voice memo playback low volume, ipod touch 4th gen bluetooth

After recording a voice memo on my ipod touch 4th gen. I play it back on my bluetooth JBL flip. Now when I playback sound levels are sometimes extremely quiet, and other times play at normal volume. Volume on Ipod touch and JBL flip will be maxed out and still volume playback are extremely quiet. I have tried turning off and on Ipod and not found anything work consistently at solving this issue.

Do you have a Phone? In your case i would save some money for an iPhone. Like i am doing now - i also got a 4G iPod.
Anyways if you really wanna go for another iPod, take the 5G now. The 5G is a big update from the 4G and Apple released it last year, so i think that the 6G will come in 2014.

IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't detected on Windows 7 Starter

Device: iPod Touch 4th Gen (lastest update)
iTunes Version: Latest Version
Operating System: Windows 7 Starter (A netbook computer)
My friend just started having this issue with his netbook where his iPod Touch will not be detected at all not even under My Computer. It will charge the device however it will not sync.
Before he had the iTunes Wifi Sync on, but it wasn't really working either for some odd reason.
On booting iTunes I noticed it kept coming up with the need to downgrade to be compatible for iTunes to run probably. I assume the latest version of iTunes cannot naturally run on Windows 7 Starter with downgrading to a lower compatiblity likely either it downgraded to Vista or XP compatibility.
I was wondering with it was an iTunes sync service was not turned on, but another friend had brought her iPhone and right away that device appeared in iTunes so it appears to be a issue with the iPod itself. We swapped usb cables in hopes that his older more worn cable may have been the issue, but still not luck.
We had used all of the following listed from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. As well as another which I can't seem to find that had about 15 items to try.
So basically it doesn't show up as even a usb device in the "Device and Printers" window or as a device under "My Computer".
Thanks for your time.

- As asked for the versions since many users think that have the "latest" when they do not have the latest version/
- Q4: I said no that the iPod Touch 4G does not show up in iTunes/My Computer in my post. Please My question read my post.
My queston is does your iPod show up in iTunes when you conenct the iPod to another computer.
"If you connect the 4G iPod to another computer does it show in iTunes/My Computer?"
If no:
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
