You're doing the wrong thing.
Touch and hold an icon - any app icon.
When they wiggles, you can drag them.

  • My daughters imessage on her ipod touch has just stopped working - to get it going again I reset it with my email address but this doesn't allow her to send messages to any of her contacts.  When I try and put her email back in it says it can't verify it

    My daughters imessage & face time on her ipod touch has suddenly stopped working.  The only way i could get it going again was to reset it up with my email address.  This will not allow her to send messages to any of her contacts in her addess book.  I have tried to set up her email (which she previously used successfully) but it will not allow this it states 'unable to verify email because it is already in use' - anyone any ideas its is driving me mad !!

  • The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

    The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.  The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down.  On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in.  Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works.  I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    Try:

    - 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.

  • Ipod touch home button not working after upgrade

    Hi,
    The home button on my 1st generation ipod touch stopped working after upgrading the software a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else come across this issue? Is it possible to downgrade the software? I have tried restoring the ipod with no luck.
    Thanks

    HI there,
    thanks for the reply. Tried both of what you suggested, also tried the home button thing only working while plugged in with two computers and two different leads which is why I suspect is an operating system thing.
    I may try downgrading the operating system next, just have to find a copy of an old one somewhere.
    Cheers,
    Martin

  • IPod Touch 3G w/ stopped working with car stereo/docking speakers

    After I upgraded to OS 4, my iPod Touch 3g stopped working through the USB port of my car stereo (just says "reading" and never progresses from there). It also stopped working through the docking station (basically a large clock radio) that I bought for my living room -- it will recharge and play music through the speakers but the docking station and its remote can no longer control the music (can't advance to the next song or anything else), so I have to physically change things on the ipod itself.
    I was told by Crutchfield (where I'd purchased the car stereo) that this was a known problem with Apple -- that with OS4, many of the devices that previous worked with iPods no longer worked, and that this would be resolved in a later version of the OS that would provide some backward compatibility. However, I can't find anything at all about this.
    If anyone knows more information about this, or has a link to where I might be able to read more, I'd appreciate the info. I selected and installed both the (almost new!!) car stereo and docking station specifically because they allowed me to connect and control my iPod, and now I've lost that functionality and the $$ I put into those devices (over $300 total)!

    I apologize for posting a bit early.  Found an Alpine manual online and i needed to set the AUX port to off.  They also recommended a reset of the Touch.  After doing these two things it is now working.  Maybe this will help someone else.

  • IPod Touch Gen 1 Stopped Working

    I have an iPod touch generation 1 and it just stopped working. It was working and I plugged it in to finish charging and when I woke up a few hours later it wouldn't turn on. It still won't turn on and doesn't appear in my iTunes. What do I do?

    The iOS update made the iPod less tolerent of marginal/fake Lightning cables. All you can do is get a certified Lightning cable. I would get a genuine Apple cable.

  • My original ipod touch charger has stopped working?

    I have a 32gb ipod touch 5th generation with an original ipod touch charger. It just stopped working one day and I couldn't charge my ipod anymore, I thought my charger was dead and broken so I decided to buy a new. It worked fine the first week, but then stopped working, is my ipod the problem? please help...

    Was it a genuine Apple cable? If so then if it is defective Apple will exchange it at now cost. Same for the original cable if it was not abused and you purchased the iPod less than a year ago.

  • My iPod Touch 3G screen stopped working.

    A few days ago, my iPod Touch screen stopped working.  I tried restoring it afterwards and it worked for about a day.  After that the screen became unresponsive again.  I did this again to see if it would make a difference but the same thing happened; it workes for a day and became unresponsive yet again afterwards.

    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.

  • IPod Touch Home Button Barely Working

    I have a 32GB iPod Touch. I got it in August 2008 and have taken very good care of it since then. Yesterday I noticed that the Home button wasn't working like it used to. I had to really mash it down or hold it down for the home button to respond. Does anyone know why this might be happeneing or how to fix it.
    I just read that someone else just posted a similar problem, but mine is different in that it still works, just not well.

    I have had a shield on since I first bought the Touch. I thought that might be the problem so I took it off today and the problem persisted. That's why I came to ask here.
