IPod Touch Fifth Generation Screen Issue.
I've had my iPod for about a year and never had any problems. Tonight I went to watch some videos as I normally do. While watching one of the videos the screen became unresponsive. It still played but it wouldn't rotate or recognize swipes. Hitting the home button took me to the menu but I still couldn't swipe through my app's. Turning it off resets the screen but for maybe a couple minutes. I was able to get to Vine and then little and big black bars faded in on the top and the screen went blue. When it turned back on it worked for 5 minutes then the colors got all distorted, it zoomed in on the menu, and more little bars faded in and out. Now the screen won't turn on. The top half of the iPod is starring to get hot, almost to hot to touch. The iPod has never overheated, froze from the cold, never been wet, dropped, or anything. It's spent it's life laying on my bed connected to the charger or around the house. Anything I can do myself or have someone else do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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. From the hotness, a hardware problem is likely.

My ipod touch fifth generation wont turn on after the battery died and my home button is broken
i fell asleep with my ipod touch fifth generation on and when i woke up the battery had died but i tried turning it on and connecting it to the computer but nothings working
Hi stephkayy223,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPod touch battery has been completely consumed, you may need to connect it to power for several minutes before you will see the charging screen:
If you see this screen, it means your battery is really low. Plug in your device and let it charge for at least 10 minutes before using it. After that, you can use your device while it continues to charge.
If your device has turned off, you might see a black screen for a few minutes even after you plug it in. Let it charge until it turns on, or until it's fully charged.

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.

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.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on

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. -

Ipod touch 4th generation, screen doesn't work in certain apps.
Hi i have a Ipod touch 4th generation. I have somewhat of a weird problem, at least i think it is. My ipod touch screen works really well just opening apps on the springboard any where on the screen. Also in certain apps I have no problems, but in others it seems that it will not let me click on buttons toward the bottom. I found this odd because in other apps i have no problem and everything seems responsive. I have done some of my own troubleshooting and apps like google maps and the email app work fine. But other apps such as fatbooth, facebook and instagram I cannot touch icons anywhere near the bottom they just dont registar. Any help?
Sounds like a hardware issue. Your screen digitizer may need to be replaced.

Ipod Touch 5th generation sync issues over storage
Hi
I have a 64GB ipod touch 5th generation ipod touch. It (and itunes) has the latest software.
The issue is that I am trying to sync my music (I have bought new songs and changed playlists) and itunes states there isnt enough space on ipod touch. However, my music collection, and the ipod own storage suggests that the music only takes 50% of the available storage.
I am the point of jacking in the ipod touch now as this is a regular occurrence.
Any help on overcoming this is appreciated.
Lee- First verify you have the right items checked to syn so that you are not syncing more than you think
- Next
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Cracked iPod Touch 4th generation screen-Help!
Hello.
In December, I bought an iPod Touch 4th generation. It is 16 GB. Yesterday, when trying to take a picture, I dropped my iPod and now the screen has many cracks. However, both cameras were not damaged, and the device seems to work fine. Also I have a screen protector on it.
First of all, I dont know if I should replace it, keep it, or get a new one.
On replacing: Can the screen actually be replaced? Or can the cracks be helped? And how much would it cost? Would Apple charge me for it? (there is an apple store about 40 mins away) Or should I just take it to one of those repair shops at the mall?
On keeping it: As I said, the device works fine, but there are many cracks.
On getting a new one: I do not have AppleCare, but it has been under a year, so would the warranty be violated? Or not, because it was my own mistake? Would Apple replace it? Also, I do not have enough iCloud storage, so if I got a new iDevice, my data would be lost. Wouldnt it?
Finally, on that last topic, can you buy iCloud storage with an iTunes card? And can I cancel it?
Please help me. Thank you.Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. They do not fix yours.

Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Screen Cracked
My Ipod Touch 2nd Generation got a nice cracked in the screen. It still works fine the crack just bothers me. I have been reading up and i have heard alot of people took it into apple and the fixed or replaced it for free. I was just wondering if this is true. Or if there is another way to get it fixed without having to pay over 80 dollars. I don't want to try and repair it myself because I am not very confident in myself.

That looks like an acceptable screen. you want one that comes fully assembeled with a frame and home button. There's numerous how to videos on youtube. -
Ipod touch 5th Generation restoring issue
So my sister forgot her password to her Ipod touch 5th Generation, but when I try to restore it, it wants to take 9 hours to update the software first. Is there any way around that? Any help is appreciated
No. When you restore via iTunes the latest firmware is reinstalled. If the latest firmware is not already on the computer it has to be downloaded.

IPod Touch 4th Generation Display issues
Recently, my son's iPod Touch 4th Gen display has acted up after long periods of inactivity such as overnight. Symptoms are a very light screen with many horizontal lines. Turning the device of/off and doing a soft reset does not help. He has discovered if he plays a game then turns the device on/off the display returns to normal and stays that way until another extended period of inactivity.
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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod touch 3rd Generation screen is very odd after updating
I just updated my hardware on my iPod touch 3rd Gen. and the screen is HUGE! It's like it doubled in size. Is there any way to fix this problem? I have tried to restore the iPod but it did the same thing when I restarted it. Thanks for your help!!
If you can't reach settings, do this:
Zoom in or out: Double-tap the screen with three fingers. By default, the screen is magnified 200 percent. If you manually change the magnification (by using the tap-and-drag gesture, described below), iPod touch automatically returns to that magnification when you zoom in by double-tapping with three fingers.
