IPod touch 5g is ocassionally unresponsive to touch when flat on a surface.
This happens a good portion of the time, though not always, that it is laying flat on a surface. Sometimes it continues afer I pick it up. Most of the time it starts working normally when I turn the screen off and then on again, but sometimes takes a few tries. Do any of you have this same issue? Any ideas, explanations, or solutions? I'm not terribly bothered by it, because it's not too persistent, but I am concerned about it getting worse over time or suddenly not fixing itself.

My 2nd generation iPod Touch is unresponsive to touch... tried the restore options, etc., no go... any suggestions?
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch 2nd generation is unresponsive. When I try to connect to Itunes it is recognizing it as an iphone. I can't power up or reset anything. Please help.
Place the iPod in recovery and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. For recovery mode:

This iPod is not under warranty anymore, unfortunately, but I've noticed that it has had a few problems since I got it, but it was never this bad until just recently. The iPod touch screen will not respond to touch in a vertical row on the left side of the screen, and horizontal in random area of the bottom screen, which is hindering me from typing or playing apps and even scrolling through my music. I've tried this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827, I've also restored, restarted, all kinds of things. This device has never been jailbroken, had waterdamage, or anything (it's also running the latest hardware).The iPod used to do this, but I'd reset it several times and it'd be fine, but just recently it won't fix anymore. It also is very erratic and touches the "s" key for example, even though I'm actually touching the "m" key, which are very far away from each other. Also, sometimes if I unlock it (which takes multiple tries since not of that row works) and leave it there, it will starts doing it's own thing and opening random apps and such. I'm thinking of taking it to the apple store (the only reason I haven't is because of many bad reviews online for that store), but I'm afraid they are going to want to charge me for half of what I paid for it. Any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
all good now problem solved never mind

3rd gen ipod touch unresponsive to touch
My Ipod touch recently has stopped responding to touch, all the other buttons work on it. What could it be?
Welcome to the discussions,
did you already try to reset your device by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again? If this does not work, a restore to factory settings will be the next step.
To make sure you're not restoring damaged files, don't use your backup after that to restore your data and settings.

Right margin (1/2") of iPod screen unresponsive to touch-Fix?
the right margin (about 1/2" inch) of my iPod 4th gen doesn't respond to touch. Anyone know why - anyone suggest a fix? Already tried a "restore" - it didn't work. However, for a brief while yesterday it was responsive. Now it's not again.
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 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. It could take well over an hour! 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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. -

iTunes shows the music and audiobooks I've loaded to my iPod Touch, but they do not show up when I try to play them. I reconnect to iTunes and it shows the music and books as being loaded on my iPod.
Sometimes the audiobook will play, then disappear from iPod's play menu after I reconnect to iTunes and load more music. I've got plenty of free memory, and iTunes shows the files still on iPod.
....or should I just roll it back to iOS 5... never had these kinds of issues with the old OS.Try:
- 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.
- Unsync/delete all AB and resync
To delete all ADgo to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>AB and try deleting them from there
- 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.

I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and the whole touch screen is not working.
I have a 32gb ipod which I bought for fifty dollars and when i bought it had a pretty baddly cracked screen but thing is it worked fine. Every part of the screen worked fine; it was as senstive where the screen was cracked as the areas of the screen that were not cracked. I dropped it a couple times from like two or three feet on two a hard wood floor about four times all it did was make the cracks on the screen a little worse. Then one day I dropped it from about a foot and now the whole touch screen is not working does anyone know why this is. They told me at the ipod store to get a new one would be 130 to trade mine in. But the thing is I very mechanically inclined and I am very good with electrionics; I was planing on buying the glass for fifty bucks and putting it on myself because I read how to do it and I am more then capapble of doing it. But now since the touch screen is now working; do I need a new screen along with a new glass? See the thing is because I think both those part cost 120 together. Which would not be worth me doing that when I can go to the ipod store and they would trade me a new one for 130 bucks. But the issue is, they told me at the ipod store they would have to look and see how damaged the ipod is to see if they will exchange it. My screen is severly cracked; also I have a dent that is a half inch long and 1/8th inch deep in the back of my ipod and its very scracthed up; do you thing an ipod store would exchange it in the condition it is in. Also has anybody had this problem before and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take it apart and fix it my self without buying any new parts.
If I were you, I would pay the $130 for a replacement. Then you can be sure that it has all the working parts it needs.
