IPod touch 5th gen unlock screen GLITCH while music is playing

Hello, everyone.
I am experiencing two, what I believe to be, very annoying software glitches on my 5th Gen iPod Touch 64 GB.
I know for certain that I am not the only one because I have read other articles in this forum with people going through the same thing. However, a solid solution ceases to exist and people don't really know how to explain the problem.
My device is running iOS 7.0.3 and iTunes 11.1.3
Here are the issues:
When my music is playing and I have the screen locked and then I slide to unlock it, the song that is playing rewinds to the point where I locked the screen initially. It happens with every song. If I purposefully forward it to, let's say for example, 3 minutes into the song and I locked the screen 10 seconds into the song, when I unlock the screen, it'll automatically rewind to when I locked the screen (which was 10 seconds into the song). Annoying as ****.
The second glitch is less annoying, but annoying nonetheless. Let's say I skip to the next song after 3 minutes of the song I was just listening to and then I want to go back and hear that same song again from the beginning, it will start me off from when I skipped to the song which was 3 minutes into the song. Why the ****?
I refuse to believe that I am missing something because I checked and have tried a 'solution'. The only existing solution that I've managed to find was to restart the device and the 1st aforementioned glitch disappears... but reemerges later, AGAIN! Who really wants to be restarting their device over and over, let alone a NEW device that's supposed to be better?. Let's not get into the $400 I spent on it (taxes...).
On a serious note, someone please give me closure and tell me that Apple is aware of this and they intend on patching this up. It should be a little embarassing to them the my 4th Gen iPod Touch functions flawlessly- but why should I revert to it?
The forum I read here was from September 2013... we are in November. Do they know what is happening? They're Apple... I would assume that they do.
Any insight of any kind from anyone with intellectual prowess, please respond to this thread/plea
Thanks, everyone!

I read everything in there. Did everything
but still the same.
Im located in Philippines. I dont know how will I reach the apple stores?
Just bought my ipod online

  • Brand-new iPod Touch 5th gen often freezes win7 while charging

    Hi,
    I've had a new iPod touch 5th gen for about two weeks now.
    I also have a laptop that runs Win7, that has had no problems whatsoever until now, and that has no problems when the iPod isn't plugged in.
    Here's what happens:
    I plug in the iPod Touch to update files and recharge the battery
    All goes well, iTunes sees iPod, battery's charging
    Lalala
    Bam! Some 15-30min later:
    Laptop freezes over.
    I have had to manually shut down the laptop more than a dozen times in a couple weeks now.
    The iPod is killing the laptop dead. Slowly, but surely, it's happening.
    I love my laptop. I NEED my laptop. I otherwise love the iPod too
    This happens whether the iPod is ejected, but still charging, or not; whether iTunes is on or not
    I unplug the iPod: nothing; laptop still dead.
    Sometimes, it happens when I change songs, as I simultaneously listen to the iPod while it charges.
    Other times, it happens while fiddling with playlists and tag infos in iTunes. (<-- I am particularly weary of this one, since, it seems to me, the iPod takes a few good seconds to access tag infos/change songs, much longer than, for instance, did my iPod Nano 5th gen, though, understandably, that one did not have an OS)
    Other times, it just happens suddenly, with no apparent cause other than that the iPod is plugged in.
    Could it be the cable? (any way to find that out without investing in a new cable? )
    The iPod runs iOS 6.1.3; the laptop runs iTunes 11.0.5.5.
    The laptop is equipped with a fairly new SSD, no HDD [does that matter?!]
    Any help/ideas to get these two to get along would be greatly appreciated !! Thanks.

    If yo mean the iPod freeze and does some things when charging. other users have experienced that problem. However. I have not seen a reply concerning the resolution.

  • Ipod Touch 5th Gen Black Screen - device inop

    My daughter has an Ipod Touch 5th generation she received fro christmas in 2013. Yesterday she came home from school to find the screen black and the device non-responsive. Pressing or hold the power or volume buttons gives us no result. One thing we noticed right away was that the home button appeared not to work. When pressing down and releasing there is no click or apparent movement in the button. I do not know if this is normal, but from my searching it appears not to be. When attached to the computer, Itunes does not recognize the device. It sees no device at all.  This Ipod stays in an Otterbox Defender case at all times.
    My solution attempts:
    1) Charge Ipod to ensure battery is not dead.
    2) Attempting to clean the home button with isopropyl alchol. The ipod was held in an upright position the entire time to facilitate drainage and prevent the alcohol from getting under the screen.
    3) Attach ipod to computer to see if Itunes found device.
    4) Hard reset by holding power button and home button for over 10 seconds.
    Questions:
    1) Is home button supposed to click or move up and down?
    2) Is the black screen/non-response related?
    3) If 2 is correct,how do I go about fixing said button?
    4) What is the warranty on these? I cannot give you more information other that Dec 2013 it was received by daughter and model number on back is A1421.
    I have no idea what version of OS it has on it.

    With the serial number you can check warranty coverage here.
    https://selfsolve.apple.com/agreementWarrantyDynamic.do
    Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare extended warranty the coverage is for one year.
    Try this:
    Turn on without Home/Power Button
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Ipod touch 5th gen 32g screen hardly responces, whats wrong?

    I just got a brand new ipod touch and after about 20 minuts of using it I noticed the screen senitivity is very low and hardly responds to my touch. I took off my screen cover hoping that was the problem but it wasnt. I tried washing off my hands and wiped the screen down with a dry cloth but still hardly responds to my touch. Is it because its new? Please help!

    My sister told me to do this. I live in Minnesota and it was delivered to my house in the cold. It was in a box and covered but do you think the screens not responding right away because of it? Its warmer now and starting to get better but not fully there.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen. Screen Problem?

    I've been using iPodTouch 5th gen. for like one month or so
    Recently I found out a problem.
    When I activate "Music" App and play the song, lock screen and listen to music for few minutes, the problem occurs.
    As I click the Wake/Sleep Button, the screen lights up but occasionally, at 4 edges of display, the color turns green for about 2secs??
    FIrst I didn't know it was real, but I noticed this more than 20 times recently
    does it happen to yours, too?

    I have not seen that problem reported here before. You can 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.
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:       
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Ipod Touch 5th Gen, 64gb Not syncing all music.

    I bought my ipod Yesterday. 5th Gen, I am trying to sync my music but only 1949 songs downloaded out of 5138, at the bottom of my song list it says "Downloading 1949 of 5138..." but nothing's happened for a few hours now, It's doing the Red Square/Red Circle thing.

    Yes, regarding space. When I first reset the memory; it had 3 GB of room. I didn't add any other music or applications.
    Do the non-sync songs play? Well; I thought they did. However, as I try to play them I get a message about not being able to locate the songs. I did change the path in the Preferences section. And - it looks like it found files one I manually told it to look. I'm going to re-sync and see what happens.

  • Blue 32GB iPod Touch 5th Gen. Screen Distortion

    When I am just tapping (like texting wise) the screen is fine. Now if I were to put a tiny tiny amount of pressure on the screen, the screen will distort (waves from left and right of the screen). The pressure applied is very small for this to happen. Am I being paranoid, or is my screen defective?

    - Maybe. The screen on the 5G iPod and iPhone 5 are different that the past since the digitizer is integral with the screen to make the screen and thus the device thinner.
    - I have not seen your observation posted before.
    - If you have an Apple store near by I would make an appointment at their Genius Bar.

    - Otherwise I would wait and see if others report same observation.

  • Ipod touch 5th gen, wont work?

    when i took the charger out of my ipod touch 5th gen , the screen went dark and wouldn't respond then it went black and wouldnt turn on. i thought maybe it was dead so i charged it for an hour but nothing came up on the screen it just stayed black. i tried restetting it but nothing comes up
    when connected to the computer it doesnt recgonise the device and says 'power surge on hub' ? so i cant fix it that way its only 4 months old and i dont know what is worng with it. it was working fine yesterday until i took the charger out.

    Not Charge

  • IPod touch 5th gen... play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order?

    Hi.
    On my old ipod classic I can play all songs on all albums by an artist in album order.  Is there a way to do this on the ipod touch 5th gen?  I can see how to play all songs by an artist but only in alphabetical order, not one album after another...
    Thanks,
    J.

    You can't please everyone ... some people want to be able to find a particular song by an artist and can't remember the name of the album from which it comes. By sorting all songs by an artist alphabetically you can go right to it. But I agree with you, I'd much prefer album order. Submit your feedback via the link provided, and yes the workaround is to create an On The Go playlist, or create one in iTunes.

  • Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road.

    Is there a (relatively simple) way to skip tracks with an iPod touch 5th gen using a physical button? I'm aware songs can be skipped on-screen without unlocking the iPod, but I'm looking for a method that doesn't require taking my eyes off the road while driving. For that reason, I'm also not interested in adding in headphones or additional devices that have the desired button functions. Going both forward and back would be great but I would be pleased just to have a "sight-free" way to go forward.
    I've seen some mention here and there about ways to maybe change it so the volume buttons change tracks and holding the volume buttons changes the volume... but I don't know what's involved in that or if its even possible/recommended for a new 5th gen iPod. I think its a great device but its sadly lacking in music oriented functions and features... which is disappointing since music is why most people would bother getting one instead of some other "iDevice" :/

    Given that you cannot do what you have asked for, perhaps you simply need to find another solution to your root problem.
    Presumably, you want to skip to the next track because you don't want to hear the current one, and that is because...
    You don't like it.
    You've heard it recently and don't want to hear it now.
    Simply don't want to hear it at this time.
    For problem number 1. Don't put it on the iPod in the first place. (I know, obvious answer!)
    For problem number 2. How about playing from a Smart Playlist (initially created in your iTunes Library) which has only songs you've not played recently?
    For problem number 3. Hhhmmm! Create alternative Playlists for use in the car.
    As for going back to the start of the "now playing" track.... Well, if your Playlist has only songs that you really, really want to hear, then you'll be looking forward to that rather go back to the beginning of the current song.
    I'm not trying to be prescriptive, just giving you food for thought.
    (They are all cheaper options than buying a car which can control the iPod from the steering wheel.)

  • I own an ipod touch 5th gen ios 7.1 and while using it suddenly black and white vertical stripes appeared on the screen and now it wont turn on!!!what should i do?

    i own an ipod touch 5th gen ios 7.1 and while using it suddenly black and white vertical stripes appeared on the screen and now it wont turn on!!!what should i do?

    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 iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable       
    - Try on another computer                                                       
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll?

    My friend's iPod touch 5th gen is locked somehow for 41 years  and she does not have a backup. Is there a way to unlock the iPod without restoring it or loosing the pictures and videos from the camera roll, the applications can be redownloaded and she had no music. Is there any known bug about ipods locking on their own because no one seemed to have tried to bypass the 4 digit code and it is locked for 26 million minutes.So thank you if anyone has any information or help for us.

    Your friend may have placed the ipod next to an object that repeatedly pressed the screen.  Under certain circumstances this can lead to what appears to the iTouch to be failed attempts to access the system.  After repeated failed attempts, the Touch increases the waiting time required for the password and may ultimately lock in the way you describe.
    It's been a while since this was posted, but this might be informative to someone else who finds themself in a similar predicament.

  • How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

    Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes.  Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails.  I've only owned it for 9 months or so.  I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased.  The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
    I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data.  Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
    Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
    Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
    The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work.  Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help.  Thanks much.

    You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
    or
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    There is not other way

  • Ipod Touch 5th Gen - Music videos contained in playlists don't display in full screen mode

    I am using an Ipod Touch 5th Gen. I have music videos contained in different playlist that are utilized for a class where they are displayed on a large screen through a projector. When I playback the videos through the playlists, they don't appear in full screen mode. I didn't experience this issue with previous versions of the Touch. If I access the videos individually through the video icon, they display correctly.

    That is how it works now. Make a suggestion to Apple to fix it by going here:
