IPod touch keeps taking screen shots

Is there a way to shut off the screen shot feature? My touch is continually taking screen shots - this happens when I'm touching it and when it's sitting in a stationary position. I have removed the cover to eliminate the chance that the power button and menu button are being pushed at the same time. Wondering if I have a faulty touch? Touch also has trouble starting up - have to press the power button at least three times before screen turns on.
Any help would be appreciated.

Sadly, I was suspecting the actual *application procedure* may have created the problem and not the film itself. Perhaps some of the application fluid got into the crack near the Home button and gummed it up. I don't know what you could do to fix that either.

  • My ipod touch 2nd generation keeps taking screen shots by itself and turning off. This is a 'NEW' replacement and is less than 12 months old. Any ideas?

    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.

  • I keep taking screen shots but they dont show up on my desktop and i dont know how to find them

    i keep talking screen shots but they dont show up on my desktop and i dont know how to find them!

    I have the same problem. One of the reliable things about Apple OSX, that we could count on screenshots being simple. Then DropBox came along. I suspect DropBox is the culprit here. I don't mind, even am grateful if DB captures my captures, but who gave them permission to totally changes my whole universe!!?

  • IPod keeps taking screen shots by itself

    I've tried rebooting and restoring to its factory settings on numerous occassions... It still hasn't helped.
    Also, whenever I open an app or anything it goes right back to the home screen then to the search option
    The buttons don't seem to be stuck or anything either.

    When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem it is likely due to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • What do i do if my ipod touch keeps going to the charge screen, then to the apple screen, then shuts off?, what do i do if my ipod touch keeps going to the charge screen, then to the apple screen, then shuts off?

    what do i do if my ipod touch keeps turning on, going to the charge screen, then going to the apple screen, then shutting off?

    If it is still charging using the adapter, let it stay there for at least 15min, then connect again, if necessary use recovery mode. iOS: Unable to update or restore
    If still not luck, and the battery still shows the red charging icon, you might need a new battery.

  • Ipod Touch keeps crashing, now wont open at all.

    I got my ipod touch a little under a year ago, and soon after getting it i noticed that the music would randomly stop and go to the homepage. It wasn't that bad because the music would always come back up, and it didn't happen that often. But then it started getting more and more often. Recently it started taking two or three times to get music to open, and now it crashed last night, and even after two hours of nothing but trying to open it, it still wont open. I'm getting a new ipod soon, but i wanted to know if there was any quick fix.

    This is kinda weird... My iPod touch keeps crashing although I got os 3.1.3.
    It always crashes while tring to play chalkboard stunts.
    I got a second generation iPod touch. Any help would be very helpful.

  • Ipod touch 4th loging screen graphs damaged, does not recover after restoring software

    My ipod touch 4th loging screen graphs are showing like coloured barcodes in movement. I have already restored the software with the updated version of itunes several times, but the problem continues. It is unaccessible, although I had an alarm programmed that keeps working. I never jailbreaked it, only downloaded a few books and apps from itunes. Is there a way to get it back to work normally from home?
    Thanks in advance.

    If you still have the problem after restoreing the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod (not from backup) then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • 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.
    Keep in mind that Apple does NOT sell parts
    The only possible sources for parts if you have it done by someone other than Apple are:
    Stolen parts
    Counterfeit parts
    Salvaged parts

    I've been taking screen shots for years and opening them from my desktiop. Suddenly, today, I've lost the ability to open them. I can right click on the picture and do "quicklook", but that's it. They just won't open.
    Similary, if I scan an image and save it as a PDF file in pictures, I'm suddenly not able to open it either!
    Why?

    Move the com.apple.screencapture.plist file out of /username/Library/Preferences/ to the Desktop, log out and back in, and try again.
    BTW, use the default 10 point setting for text. Your choice just wastes screen space.

  • I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me I need a way to get rid of them

    I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage

    Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.
