Ipod touch Frozen Screen

My Ipod was dead so I let it charge all night and when I woke up it was fully charged but the screen was frozen. It had the slider to unlock it but when I slid my finger over it nothing happened. Then i tried to hold the home button and wake/sleep button at the same time and it said that if I wanted to power off i had to slide the slider, but I couldn't! Now my screen is stuck like that! It has been like that for almost a month now and I don't know what to do! Some of my friends are telling me that apple will replace mine and give me a new one but I really don't want to do that because I have important notes and pictures and contacts that aren't on my Itunes and I don't want to lose them! Please help me!!

Hold the sleep/wake button down while at the same time holding the home button down for at least 10 seconds. When the Apple logo appears the iPod touch will be reset. (if you reset it you wont loose any data)

Problem with my iPod touch: Frozen screen, unable to access anything as slider does not work, will not accept a full restore. Apple Store advised that it is a 'hardware' problem and I could trade-in!

I am a relatively 'new' user. Touch was a gift, I used it in a simplistic way - listened to music took a few photos, added a few calendar events. After a year I then decided to be more proactive and found a few free apps (Solitaire) - then had a the frozen screen problem which I though was connected to low battery, but it wasn't. I recharged it, still could not access, then tried a full restore and got an error message. Took it to a Genius Bar and was told it was a hardware problem and as it is out of warranty I could trade in or just buy a different product. As this is my first Apple product is this usual? Do Apple products have a very short shelf life - I anticipated that it would last me longer than a year! Has anyone else had this problem? Was it able to be resolved? Or is it worth trying to get it repaired - and if so who can do it - Apple Store did not offer that to me as an option?

Sure sounds like a hardware problem. It happens some times. The iPod is just an electrical device.
Apple will exchange it for a refurbished one for this price. Apple does not repair your iPod.

While installing an update for my IPod touch 4g ( that I`ve had for around over a year )
and turned it off while it was " updating " . I turned it on a while after ,
and it was on the apple symbol and then suddenly went to the white screen with the green ,
white and yellow lines from top to bottom . I`ve waited around 2 and a half hours for it to go back .
I`ve tried to connect it to itunes , but won`t connect nor effect the ipod screen .
I`ve also tried the on and off button held and holding the home button as well .
Nothing is working and I`m begging to worry . it's my baby sister's ipod and she's crying already she doesn't know

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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~

my iPod Touch 4G screen flickering light and dark all the time?!?! I also have this problem where at the VERY bottom of the screen, Theres this white bar that keeps flickering on and off!! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

The screens are practically the same.
Did you purchase your iPod Touch second hand or direclty from the Apple Store? I would recommend that you go back to the Apple Store and show them both devices in action so that they can advise you closely.
