IPod Touch blank screen
Problems began yesterday at the gym, when playing music my iPod constantly dropped the volume itself to nothing. Then later on that evening the entire thing conked out - the screen turned black and has given nothing since. I know it's still working as if I press the home button and use the slide bar to unlock it, the unlock noise sounds you just can't see anything on the screen - it's just blank.
Is there anything I can do, as I don't have the money to pay for a new one.
Just hold the home screen button and the sleep/wake button at the same time for at least 10 seconds. Trust me, I had this problem before too.

IPod Touch blank screen in DFU mode
Hello. I have an iPod Touch 2G with software 2.2.1. Recently, I shut it down and restarted it, but nothing appears on the screen. I tried to put it in DFU mode and iTunes can see it, but I do not want to restore everything. I would be devastated. Please help! Thanks!
Yep it looks like you'll probably have to do a restore. YAY! Don't worry if you've sync'ed your iPod over it will automatically back up all of your stuff and after a restore will ask you if you would like to restore from the backup. Just select your latest backup and click restore and it will be exactly how you left it after the sync is complete. So to get started just put the Pod into DFU like you did originally. You will have iTunes say an iPod has been detected in recovery mode... blah blah blah so just hit ok. Next you will see the restore button in the iTunes window. Hold down the option key and click on restore (Shift+click if you're on Windows). You will be presented with a drop down window. In there navigate to...
/Users/"YOUR ACCOUNT"/Library/iTunes/iPod Software Updates/
In there you should see iPod2,13.1.2_7D11Restore.ipsw if your on 3.1.2 and it is a 2nd gen touch
OR
iPod1,13.1.2....ipsw if your on 3.1.2 and it is a 1st gen touch
Select the appropriate firmware file and hit choose.
It'll say extracting and do the normal stuff.
When that is over. You will be presented with the iPod setup page and it will ask to setup as a new iPod or restore from backup. This is where you click restore from backup and select the LATEST backup you have (It'll come up in a window with all the backups that have been performed). The iPod will sync for a while depending on how much stuff you had on it. YES THIS INCLUDES EMAILS, SITES, APPS, MUSIC and all the other stuff. So it'll pretty much be exactly how you left it. -

My iPod touch 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??
Apple will only give you a 10% discount if you turn that one in and purchase the new one.
I do not know if the WalMart warranty covers accidental damage like a broken screen. -
Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, setings screen for imessage is not up
Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, settings screen for imessage doesn't give me options to turn it on or off
Hello ecaseywage,
For issues activating iMessage on your iPod touch, take a look at the article below to walk you through getting it resolved. I would start with making sure that you have the date and time set correctly as well as making sure you are online. Because you said that you cannot turn it off, try restarting your iPod touch to see if can be turned off afterwards.
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime

My ipod touch's screen partly frozen?
My ipod touch's screen only works in the top left corner where I've got the accessibility helper button (my home button only works with a lot of pressure). I am unable to turn it off, and I haven't got my ipod charger right now- it also wouldn't help at the moment -Should I wait for my ipod to die so It will turn off and recharge it later? Or what do you guys think would help? Also, the touch screen always works, until now. ^The accessibility button menu is open but half-off of the screen, yet It's the only part of the screen that is touch-able. Help please~

ive cracked my ipod touch 4g screen does my waranty cover accidental damage for cracked screens and if it does do i just take it into an apple store for repair?
The warranty does not cover accedental damage like a broken screen. However, some time the Genius at the Genius Bar of an Apple store will replace the iPod at not cost. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar and ask. If not under warranty, Apple will exchange yours for:
