IPod touch fourth generation.

I have an iPod Touch fourth generation, but the screen has been cracked for a whle now and the bottom half of the screen doesn't respond to my touches. So therefore, I can not unlock/use the iPod. I have rebooted it and restored it to the factory settings, but it still won't work. Please could I have some help/support.

The digitizer on the bottom half of the screen does not work. The screen has to be replaced
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • My ipod touch fourth generation keyboard and unlock button are not working

    my ipod touch fourth generation was working at one moment and then when i went to unlock the screen and type in the passcode it would not let me swype the unlock button and when i turned it off and back on again and the passcode section popped up it would only let me type the 1, 2, and 3 buttons and now it is not letting me type at all. What do i need to do? The screen is also cracked but when i cracked the screen i was still able to see what i was doing and still able to use the ipod but this was before the keyboard and unlock button stopped working, I dont know if the screen being cracked would have anything to do with the keyboard and unlock button not working. PLEASE HELP ME

    - 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 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. Could be the crack progressed to the point thtt portions of the screen no longer respond to touch

  • Can't find the app store on my iPod touch fourth generation

    Can't find the app store on my iPod touch fourth generation. The app store is nowhere to be found on any screens.

    The app store can be rendered invisible if it's turned off in the restrictions.
    Go to settings, general and scroll down to restrictions. If they're set, there'll be a passcode to enter. If you get in then you can see if the app store has been turned off.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    Make sure the iPod touch is connected straight into the computer, not into a hub. Also, make sure there aren't any other iPods connected while you're testing it.

  • I'm having trouble with my iPod touch fourth generation..

    I was on my iPod and I realized that I couldn't accept follow requests on the Instagram app, I tried going on the computer and it wouldn't let me sign in. I tried a few more times and even made sure I spelt it right, it was all correct but it was saying something like "Please enter a correct username and password. Note that both feilds are case-sensitive." The password and email were correct, but it's still saying it. The app on my iPod is working but if I try signing in anywhere else, it won't work?? Please help??

  • IPod touch 4th generation will not sync with iTunes, but shows up in Windows 7 64bit(Acer Aspire laptop)

    Hello all, I am writing this message in the hope that somebody can help me to solve my issue with my iPod touch fourth generation. It has been unable to sync with iTunes, but shows up in windows as the iPod touch. I also had this problem with my older iPods as well (Ipod nano 4th Gen, iPod touch 2nd gen(Batteries done for that one)) I can sync music with iCloud, but I have a bunch of songs that are not in the store, and I sincerely want to add those, alot.
    I've checked the "iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes" with the link here: (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1363), and followed that process, but to no avail, it does not solve the problem. I've tried to reset the entire ipod by making it enter DFU mode and then rebooting the entire iPod (shows up in iTunes in temporary mode) but once restored, does not appear in iTunes, but still in Windows detected still as a iPod, looks like the iPod and everything. I also have the most uup-to-date iTunes installed (10.5 I believe, just got it today)
    This is extremely frustrating because that is why I purchased the iPod (and for the games and apps, those are great too). The iPod was also purchased three days ago, and the setup still didn't detect it.  I am not mad at anybody here or the Apple company itself, but I have not found any help online with the browsing option (for support of course).
    Please, I would absolutely love the help, i'd be eternally grateful for it.

    Never mind, turns out that by uninstalling the programs "Megakey" and "Megaupload" it had resolved this issue.

  • My ipod touch (fourth gen) won't sync.

    A friend of mine recently gave me her ipod touch, fourth generation, and I had reset the whole thing and tried to sync my itunes with it with no luck. I have no error messages or anything, it just doesn't automatically sync. (I have tried changing my preerances for automatic and manual synching a few times) and when I go to devices there's no action availble. I'm pretty sure my itunes doesn't recognize the ipod even though my computer does. I have no idea what the problem might be.
