IPod Touch Gen 1 large gray spot on screen
I was given my uncles old iPod touch and it has a large gray spot on the screen about the size of my thumb and i have tried pretty much everything and it wont budge but after not using it for a few days it has now moved a good quuarter of a inch to the right. Am i out of luck or is it possible to repair this without making my wallet cry?
Without more information like a photos, it could be a defect in the one of the screens/glasses. It could also be something between the outer cover glass and LCD screen.
Since you have iOS 3.1.3 that likely means a 1G iPod. It would be too expensive to have someone fix the iPod based on the capability of the 1G.
You can try fixing it yourself.

I have had this touch for almost a year. It suddenly starts going to home screen in middle of app, or when loading the app. Contract Killers has worked fine since I dowloaded it, but is not loading at all now. If I restore, will I be able to get my progress back from the backup?
Reset did not work. Just completed the restore, seems to have fixed the other apps from going back to the home page, but not Contract Killer.. I assume it is now a error on Glu's part. Hopefully they will resolve the issue. Thank you so much for your response.

4th gen ipod touch stuck on itunes plug in screen and don't have computer i setup with
Hey 34grumpy4u,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPod touch is currently in recovery mode, and needs to be restored. You can restore your iPod with any computer, then transfer your information back to your iPod once you have access to your backup (whether it was made via iCloud or iTunes).
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

My ipod touch is stuck on the home screen, will not respond. Displays a gray background with the ipod logo, sliders are unresponsive. Bottom slider displays many different languages, none of them english. Maybe a virus or malware?? Restoring with itunes does not work, neither does holding down the home/sleep buttons to reset.
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 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.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB one and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

IPod Touch (Gen 1, Software 3.0) running hot/locking up.
In the last few months, I have been having a recurring problem with my iPod Touch (Gen 1, now running 3.0), where on occasion it starts feeling incredibly hot to the touch, the screen freezes, and it refuses to accept any input from anything but the home and the lock/power key.
I've ruled out environmental causes, and also it doesn't seem to be software/apps causing the problem, as I first encountered it at V2.2, and it has happened with just a clean install on there as well.
Any ideas to what could be causing this, or to a potential solution?This is not a bug but a problem with the software or hardware on your individual iPod. You have not mentioned try to fix it by doing a restart, reset, or a restore. These types of minor problems generally respond well to one of those remedies.
However, if your problem doesn't go away, you may have a problem with the touch screen. If you are still under warranty, then a trip to the closest Apple store might be a good idea. -
New apple user, just got new iPod touch gen 5 and there is no App Store on it. Restored it twice and this does nothing. What do I do, help please :(
Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

How do you fix a jailbroken ipod touch gen 2?
How do you fix a jalibroken ipod touch gen 2? My son's itouch has the apple skull on the mai screen and won't do anything. Thanks-
ALl we can say her in this Apple forum s to restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPOd. Yu can try placing the iPod in recovery mode. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
Otherwise you will have to go to elsewhere. Jailbreaking voids the warranty and Apple will no longer help. -
My ipod touch gen 5 is disabled and wont sync, i tried to reinstall the itunes (yes, the latest version) but still itunes doesnt recognized my device. help
Did you place the iPod in recovery mode? That is required for a disabled iPod
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas? I should probaly also add that I have also recently tried to download a screen recorder from safari and a message keeps popping up and saying that it can't verify server, even for this website
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Files cannot be downloaded from Safari on an iPod touch. -

I tried to restore it, but it's saying that I have to enter the passcode. But, as I said, there's nothing on the sceen excect the circle thing. Please help!!!!!
