Ipod Touch 5th generation screen frozen...

My 2 year old 32 GB Ipod 5th gen is frozen on a black screen. When i plug it in to a charger, i hear the charging noise but the screen is still black. I should also inform you that the home button is broken so i cant reset. I tried to restore from itunes but it says "Find my ipod must be turned off from the ipod to restore". I obviosly cant turn it off if my screen is frozen. I dont know what to do ...    Btw my warrenty is already used.

Try:                                               
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and                                           
RecBoot tip
RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

- 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.

  • Where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars?

    where can i get my ipod touch 5th generation screen replaced for, like, $50 to $60 dollars? I broke it a few days ago and so far havent been able to find a place to repair it. Also,it would be best if the place was online, because live in a small town with virtually no places to get this done. If you could help that would be sooo amazing! Thank you!

    We can not advise you on getting unauthorized service for your iPod.
    Keep in mind that Apple does NOT sell parts
    The only possible sources for parts if you have it done by someone other than Apple are:
    Stolen parts
    Counterfeit parts
    Salvaged parts

  • HT201365 my daughters ipod touch 5th generation screen is stuck.  It reads IPOD Disabled connect to itunes

    My daughters ipod touch 5th generation screen is stuck.  It reads IPOD Disabled connect to itunes.  HELP!

    Have you considered connecting it to her computer running iTunes? That would seem to be the logical first thing to try...
    It's in recovery mode because someone incorrectly attempted to enter the passcode too many times. It must be restored using iTunes.

  • HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

    My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
    I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
    ITunes is up to date.

    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.
    - 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.

  • I have an iPod Touch 5th generation and all of a sudden it started freezing on the lock screen.

    I have an iPod Touch 5th generation that I've had since Christmas 2012 and suddenly today (June 27) when I tried opening one of my apps it froze and then shut the app down. At first I thought it was the app, but then it started happening to Safari and my Photos app. By time I had gotten to work when I slid the bar over to unlock it, it froze and wouldn't do anything. I had tried turning it off, holding the lock button down and sliding the power off slide, but the screen went black instead of turning off. Every few minutes it would suddenly light back up on the lock screen but wouldn't do anything after I slid the thing to unlock it. Sometimes it would seem to turn itself back on (even though I wasn't aware it had turned off, the apple logo never showed up) from black to the loading page (black screen with little circle thing lighting up to show it's loading) to the lock screen which wouldn't do anything. The time is constantly on track and the wifi connectivity icon on the top bar even shows when there's wifi, I just can't do anything with it. I could double tap the Home button and the music bar would show up and the volume level would change through me touching the screen and through the volume buttons on the side, but it wouldn't play anything. I also can hold the Home button and Siri shows up but then I can't actually speak anything to it.
    I've managed to connect it to my computer and back it up to iCloud and on my computer and am trying to restore it right now, but I would like to know what's wrong with it. I've had it for about 7 months and have never had any issues with it like this before.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
    If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • My iPod touch 5th generation had white screened an it won't let me rest it by holding down the home button an the power button for ten seconds I've pulled it in to iTunes an its not being detected what can i do as its starting to over heat?

    If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
    There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.

  • 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.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • Best screen protecter for iPod touch 5th generation?

    What is the best screen protecter for the iPod Touch 5th generation?

    Pretty much any of them made for an iPod 5 will protect the screen from scratches, it's more personal preference. I personally use a Survivor case by Griffin. It's a little bulky but it offers protection for the entire iPod not just the screen. The rubberized back and sides protect against drops and falls, (cracked screens) and the port covers keep muck and moisture out of the charging and headphone ports. I have beat the snot out of it and so far so good. Just note some cases are waterproof like the Survivor  (will keep most water off your iPod, spills, rain, snow) and some are watertight like Lifeproof Fre (drop it in the toilet-- happens more than you'd think-- or go swimming with it and it's still dry provided the seals are working). Check around, see what works for you. Hope this helps, Good luck.

  • IPod touch 5th generation (replacement from Apple Store) - yellow tinted screen

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation replacement from the Apple Store, and the display is slightly yellow compared to "new" or floor models. There are also some areas where the yellowing is more obvious than others. Is it possible to get this replaced at an Apple Store?
    I have read other posts where the yellow tint goes away within a week or so. I have had this problem for months.

  • HT1212 Up to how long will my iPod touch 5th generation be disabled with ios7? The screen doesn't say anymore...

    I can't remeber my iPod touch 5th generation's pass code. I know the four numbers included, just not the sequence. It disabled yesterday at 6pm, and it's now 11am and still disabled. Also, when I first got my iPod, my friend synced it with her iTunes, so I can't plug it into mine.
    I have a lot of pictures and songs that I really don't want to lose, by just restoring it, if I can even do that.
    So, my question is either,
    1. Up to how many hours can my iPod be disabled for? (The new iOS won't tell us!) And how long will it disabled after each try??
    2. Is there any way to get the pass code off my iPod touch without losing all my apps, music, pictures, ect.?
    Thank you!!

    If it says "iPad is disabled" it is never going to time out.  At that point, your only option is to restore it in iTunes.
    If you have a backup in place now (in iCloud or iTunes) once restored, you can restore from backup, but the only way to un-disable the device is to restore it.
