Ipod touch 4th generation, screen doesn't work in certain apps.

Hi i have a Ipod touch 4th generation. I have somewhat of a weird problem, at least i think it is. My ipod touch screen works really well just opening apps on the springboard any where on the screen. Also in certain apps I have no problems, but in others it seems that it will not let me click on buttons toward the bottom. I found this odd because in other apps i have no problem and everything seems responsive.  I have done some of my own troubleshooting and apps like google maps and the email app work fine. But other apps such as fatbooth, facebook and instagram I cannot touch icons anywhere near the bottom they just dont registar. Any help?

Sounds like a hardware issue. Your screen digitizer may need to be replaced.

  • Ipod touch 4th generation camera doesn't work after smashed screen replacement

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation that i smashed to screen with a torch, i got the screen replaced however my camera shutter will NOT open at all, i can go into camera roll and everything BUT the shutter wont open and the slide to go from camera to video just blinks a few times. Ive tried everything from turning it off and on(note my off/top button doesn't work) I had problems with the camera before i had the screen replaced but now it doesn't work at all. And will resetting and/or restarting it through iTunes delete ANY of the conent i have on my Ipod?
    Any help much appreciated as i can NOT afford to get it fixed at Apple!!

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    In that case take it back to the people who replaced the screen. They likely messed something up unless what broke the screen and broke the camera.

  • Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working.

    Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working. I had the screen replaced about a month ago and it was working fine.  I woke up the other day and went on my camera and it had stopped working, it won't let me change from the front to back camera so i don't know what the problem  is: now all it shows when i go on the camera app is the shutter or a black screen. I have tried the advice people have said but it hasn't seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated!

    However, it other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider did the previous screen replacement , Apple will not help.
    For the future, saying that you tried the advice people have said, provides us with zero information as to what yu tried.

  • TS2771 my ipod touch 4th generation screen is frozen...

    my ipod touch 4th generation screen is frozen on the charging screen even if I try to turn it off or unplug it.   Non responsive to any button being pressed.  Itunes and pc will not recognize device when plugged into it.  How do I fix this?

    Have you tried holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together at the same time long enough for the Apple logo to appear. This could take anywhere from 10 seconds to a minute, so don't give up too quickly.  Otherwise, try the other suggestions in this Apple support document.

  • Cracked iPod Touch 4th Generation Screen

    Where can I find cheep replacement screens for the ipod touch 4th generation screen?

    Just Google. Amazon has some.

  • Cracked iPod Touch 4th generation screen-Help!

    Hello.
    In December, I bought an iPod Touch 4th generation. It is 16 GB. Yesterday, when trying to take a picture, I dropped my iPod and now the screen has many cracks. However, both cameras were not damaged, and the device seems to work fine. Also I have a screen protector on it.
    First of all, I dont know if I should replace it, keep it, or get a new one.
    On replacing: Can the screen actually be replaced? Or can the cracks be helped? And how much would it cost? Would Apple charge me for it? (there is an apple store about 40 mins away) Or should I just take it to one of those repair shops at the mall?
    On keeping it: As I said, the device works fine, but there are many cracks.
    On getting a new one: I do not have AppleCare, but it has been under a year, so would the warranty be violated? Or not, because it was my own mistake? Would Apple replace it? Also, I do not have enough iCloud storage, so if I got a new iDevice, my data would be lost. Wouldnt it?
    Finally, on that last topic, can you buy iCloud storage with an iTunes card? And can I cancel it?
    Please help me. Thank you.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. They do not fix yours.

    The following will void the remainder of your warranty

  • I cannot open my apps on my iPod touch 4th generation. Every time I open an app it sends me back to the main page

    I cannot open my apps on my iPod touch 4th generation. Every time I try to open an app it sends me back to the app selection thing.

    Try a hard reset first. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear. 
    If still no luck, try downloading and installing a new app from the App Store.  Doing so has cleared the issue up for several users.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation charger won't work!

    I have a black 4th gen. iPod touch with 5.1 iOS. The charger won't work anymore and I think something is cut in the wire. If I get a new one do I have to pay, if so were can I get one?

    I think you mean the cable.  Yes, that is covered by the warranty that comes with the iPod. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused and within warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

  • IPod touch 4th generation screen shattered and cracked wondering if Brent Cross store in London will swap or repair it for free?

    I dropped my ipod touch and its shattered in the corner but there are multiple cracks along the whole screen everything works perfectly but I was wondering if the Apple Store in Brent Cross, London, would be willing to swap it or change it at no expense. Does anyone know about this store from experience or.....? It looks ugly now and I hate it please help and reply, for everyone living in North London going though the same problem or maybe will do in the future.

    Thankyou that information was very helpful. And I was aware that the one year limited warranty does not cover accidental damage but it turned out that specific store did take back my iPod touch and covered the cost. Due to the fact my iPod wasn't even a year old. Although if it were to happen again I would have to pay about £130 to cover the cost. Apple Customer Service is amazing and they treat the customers really well.

  • My iPod touch 4th generations screen is acting weird

    I actually got the iPod maybe a year back?
    It's in good condition -
    hardly got in contact with water
    No screen cracks
    Hardly, almost no damage.
    Anyway
    Recently my iPod screen is driving me nuts
    I use my iPod on a regular bases, 4-5 hours daily
    It had been working fine for the longest time
    But recently, not to much:
    -the screen freezes suddenly
    -sometimes specific (certain)
    parts of the screen won't work, until I shut it off
    (Not completely) just I press the button on top
    & the keyboard starts working & everything works fine
    (Like right now)
    But after maybe an hour or less, it'll freeze up again.
    I don't have a screen saver
    And usually the problem stop after I turn the screen off
    But, it can be a real hassle.
    - IMPORTANT DETAILS -
    • I can NOT return/renew anything because I threw out the
    casing and the box and the warranty.

  • IPod touch 4th generation screen

    So I accidently dropped my iPod this morning and the whole entire screen cracked. I don't have warranty or anything. How much do you think best buy would charge me to get the screen replaced?

    Apple will repair it out of warranty for the following prices:
    8GB 4th Gen:  99
    32GB 4th Gen: 149
    64GB 4th Gen: 199
    A shipping fee of 6.95 will apply if you arrange for service online or by calling Apple Technical Support.

  • I need some advice on replacing my ipod touch 4th generation screen. The silver plate won't go back into it's original place and i can't put the screws back in. I really need help i don't want my ipod to be broken!!!

    I started to replace my ipod 4g screen but the silver plate that goes on top of the battery won't go back into place. It's not lining up with the screw holes so i can't finish the repair. Please I'm begging you all to help me with some advice and tips!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It will be greatly appreeciated. ASAP

    Your best bet is to email the company that sold you the screen for advice.  Or you could search on YouTube for repair instructions.  Hopefully, you will see where you went wrong.  Apple will not do an out-of-warranty replacement on an iPod that has been opened.
