IPod Touch accelerometor doesn't work, what can I do?

When I turn my iPod Touch on Safari or Albums, my screen doesn't turn, what can I do?
Thanks

First thing to consider, are you turning holding it vertically or horizontally when you turn? It has to be more or less horizontal for it to work.
If it still doesn't work, setup an appointment with an Apple Genius to test it some more, and more than likely get a new one.

  • Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung.  What could be happening?

    Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work.  The computer seems to get hung during the back up stage.  It says it is backing up the ipod but nothing happens, for hours.  I eventually have to interrupt it and give up.

    I have the latest itunes.
    I tried resetting sync history.
    For this section:
    If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
    Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
    Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
    Click Apply.
    This doesn't seem to make sense for my situation.  I don't sync anything between outlook and my ipod touch. 
    I have no other USB devices connected to my computer.
    I have no other Windows users on my computer - only me and I am the administrator.  However on my diagnostic, it said this user is not the administrator.  Weird.
    So I have tried to follow that you referred me to, but still I haven't got it working yet.  Do you have any further suggestions?

  • My ipod touch won't switch on, what can i do?

    i bought an ipod touch 3 days ago in portugal, i charged it today for the first time for about 8 hours and then i took it out to listen to it and it doesn't switch on.. i have tried doing everything such as restarting, and it still doesn't work. what can i do ?

    Hi
    Firstly was the ipod sealed in the wrapper untouched ?
    If the answer is yes, then what you need to do is hunt for the customer support number on the apple store web site.
    Have patience because it took me a while to find a number to call.
    Or you can ring the first number you find and ask to be transfered.
    Explain to them the problem,
    If the ipod is less then 14 days old since you bought it from a store, then you are entitled to have it replaced, they will sort a courier to pick it up.
    But chances are if you didnt buy it from a registered stockist, it wont happen
    If not dont worry, you are covered by warranty, they will send a courier to pick up your ipod and have it fixed,
    Chances are they cant fix it so they will send you a brand new one.
    I had the same problem, it seems that the first models they kicked out had a few hardwear faults.
    Hope this helps Red

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • HT4061 I have an iphone 3gs - the new ios 6.1 (?) upgrade has inabled my phone. I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?

    I have an iphone 3gs - yes, an older iphone. 
    This morning apple had a msg that asked if I wanted to upgrade to the new ios 6.1 (?).  I said yes.  Now I can't use my phone.  I've tried hitting the power and other buttons.  I get a white apple on the screen. can't reset phone - doesn't work. what can I do besides take phone into Apple?  This *****!  I realize (now from reading internet) that my phone/system may be uncompatible.  Help!

    I have a 3GS (a true classic design!) and have upgraded it to 6.1 today.  The process did not go without a glitch - it took a few attempts to get the app's to sync but after detecting the ones causing an issue and deleting them it works - so far!  I have had issues about 50% of the numerous times a new OS is uploaded to this phone and always take the new OS with trepidation.  But at least you know there is a 3GS with 6.1 working OK.
    I suggest you do a fresh restart to the phone several times - without it being connected to the computer - to see if it gets its act together and starts.  I think it will.  Hold down the top 'power' button and front round control button until it shuts down - goes blank and dead.  Then press the top power button to re-activate - reboot - it.
    If that does not work then plug into your itunes computer, navigate in iTunes to see your iPhone and hopefully you will be able to sync it or at least 'restore iPhone' from the 'summary' tab.
    If you can not get onto the iphone perhaps you will still be able to sync if in iTunes by going - 'file' - 'devices' - 'sync iphone' or failing that try transfer purchases' and ultimately 'restore from back-up'.
    I had technical problems with my old 3GS (suffered a failed wireless antenna) so I took it to an Apple Store and they issued me with a service-replacement/reconditioned phone for a very modest charge.  So if worst come to the worst get a new phone that way!

  • Forgot my passcode and the computer i backed it up on doesn't work, what can i do.

    forgot my passcode and the computer i backed it up on doesn't work, what can i do.

    Erasing the device is supposed to erase the passcode which is supposed to allow you to activate the device again. Let it go for the 10 minutes and then see if you can activate it again. You can also try erasing the device again and see what happens.
    Go to icloud.com/#find.
    If prompted, sign in with your iCloud Apple ID.
    Click All Devices at the top of your browser window.
    Select the device you want to erase.
    Click "Erase [device]" to erase your device and its passcode.
    Use the Setup Assistant on your device to restore the most recent backup.
    This is what Apple recommends, so you have to trust that it is going to work .....

    Every Programme that it is opened with Adobe Reader doesn't work What Can I do ?

    More information please.
    Version of Reader? OS?  Can you open reader by double-clicking on its icon? Can you open reader by double-clicking on a pdf file? What programs are trying to open reader? Some programs might be restricting your ability to view pdf files using the Reader plug-in due to security concerns. If this is the case you need to find out how to enable the plug-in in the case of each application.

  • HT1386 If my lock button doesn't work what can i do to shut down the phone?

    If My Lock Button Doesn't Work What Can I Do To Shut Down The Phone?

    More than likely a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at an Apple Store if there is one nearby to confirm.

  • I updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    i updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    First, try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not help, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, in case that backup contains corrupt data.
    Is the camera working after that, restore from the backup. Is the camera still not working, this might be a hardware failure and you'll have to get the phone serviced by Apple:

  • I Sold iPod On eBay - Buyer Says It Doesn't Work - What Can I Do?

    I got an iPod that didn't work. It was swapped out for me sometime last year. Rather than use it, I decided to sell it on eBay.
    The buyer received the item, left positive feedback, and 3 days later, told me that it didn't work. He filed a PayPal claim and now I have to refund his money?!?!?!?!
    What can I do? The iPod is over a year old. Aside from filing a claim with the USPS (which may not go through), can Apple fix it? Will it cost me money? How much? Is it guaranteed to be fixed?
    What should I do?
    Thanks.

    The iPod I am getting back will have a different serial number than the serial number on the box being sent back as well.
    Which iPod are we referring to here?
    If I open it in front of the USPS worker/deliveryman, and there aren't matching serial numbers, would Apple ever find out if I made a claim with PayPal that a different iPod was returned to me?
    To be fair, whilst I'm wiling to give help here on the Forums, I'm not going to assist in any actions that defraud PayPal (or anyone else for that matter).
    And talking about such actions here on Apple's officially sanctioned iPod forums (where your posts are preserved for posterity) is probably not a good idea.

  • Ipod Touch 4g doesn´t work after firmware update

    Hello togehther,
    i had two times the same problem with my iPod. Apple sent me two times a new iPod, but i don´t want to have new iPods every two weeks, i want to have an ipod that works a long time.
    The problem:
    -I tried to install Apps, but it didn´t work, iTunes says the apps are "invalid".
    -When I update the firmware, at the end, there is the error message "-1" an the iPod hasn´t any firmware anymore. You couldn´t reset the ipod, because the error "-1" comes everytime and you can´t start the ipod anymore, because it has no firmware.
    Maybe the problem is because of the apps? Maybe a problem with my iTunes? Or what could it be?
    Thanks for help!

    The best place to look for help first is Genuine Apple help directly from Apple.
    Read the iPod Touch Users Guide.
    http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipodtouch
    Also start with the basics from Apple.
    1. *Restart iPod touch:* Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If you can’t turn off iPod touch or if the problem continues, you may need to reset iPod touch. A reset should be done only if turning iPod touch off and on doesn’t resolve the problem.
    2. *Reset iPod touch:* Press and hold both the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    For more troubleshooting suggestions, see Appendix B, “Support and Other Information,” on page 214.

  • Ipod Touch synchronisation doesn't work

    hey I've got a problem. my Ipod touch doens't work properly. I can't synchronise it anymore, because my laptop doesn't recognise that this is my Ipod. It is always said "USB-gadget not identified". How do I solve this problem?

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
