IPod touch screen isn't responding plus warranty question

My brother just got a brand new 8gb iPod Tocuh for Christmas and today, all of a sudden, the screen (or touchscreen) has stopped responding. I connected to iTunes, backed it up, restored the iPod itself and then loaded the backup onto the iPod again and it still wouldn't work. I can only see myself taking it to the Apple Store as the possible solution. Any advice before taking it back to Apple?
The other problem is, the iPod was bought in the US and we live in Croatia. Being that the iPod is only a couple of weeks old, I'm sure the 1 year warranty is still valid but will they accept the warranty here at the local Apple store?
Thanks

Sounds like it does need to be exchanged under warranty. I did notice you restoreed it using a backup. You may want to try restoring as a new ipod. Doubt it will fix it, but maybe. As for the warranty, it doesn't matter where purchased, the warranty is valid in any apple store. Good luck!

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.
- Restore from backup. See:

I think you have an Accessibility feature turned on. Triple click the Home button and then try to go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn all Accessibility features off. To scroll you may have to use three fingers. If proem see:

HT201406 My 2nd generation ipod touch screen is not responding at all is there anything i can do to fix this?

I let my cuzin borrow my ipod and when she gave it back the screen was not responding, my volume button is pushed all the way in and the lock button doesnt work very well. Is there anything i can do to fix it or anywere i can get it fixed?

well unfortunatley your warranty is over so the device is not covered, BUT sounds like you have interupting signals being sent from a stuck home button constantly being pressed and maybe even a digitizer problem (the touch screen). You can try to restore your ipod to your computer to see if it might be some kind of software related issue. Just restore to the last sync you have on iTunes. But FIRST...I would try to Reset your ipod.
Go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset all settings.

Ipod touch screen is not responding anymore!

i have a first gen ipod touch that i got in christmas of 2007.
it's only given me problems a few times, and i use it every day.
but lately, it's been acting really wierd.
a few weeks ago i went to use it. when i went to type my passcode i had to press the numbers more than once to get them to type. then after it was unlocked it wouldn't always respond to my finger. i would have to lock it then unlock it to get it to do something. i reset it a few times but that didnt help so i just put it down and when i used it the next day it worked fine, and it's been working fine until yesterday.
ever since yesterday the touch screen works for about three or four actions then i have to lock it and unlock it again to get it to work. and even after i do that, it stops working after a few touches or swipes. i've reset it a few times with no help and i even let it just sit there and charge all yesterday afternoon, last night, and today but it still wont work. even when i type my passcode, or even when its locked but i double click the home button to pause music - it still doesnt respond. but the home button and lock buttons work fine its just the home screen.
i want to do a restore, but what will happen if i do? will i lose everything thats on it??
what do you think i should do?

The backup you make before you restore includes information such as mail settings, notes, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store will be restored from the backup. Your music, videos, and applications will be reloaded by iTunes as they were before the restore. This article gives all the details and shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

IPod Touch Screen Doesn't Respond

Hi iKanji,
Is the screen stuck at a sync prompt? As I've had this happen with my iPhone many times in the past.... It's a strange predicament that you can get into and I don't now the cause...
At times I try to connect and disconnect my device from the dock connector until the device's OS realizes that one of the jobs are stuck and it reboots that prompt. Then all is fine.
Again this issue was with my iPhone and it was a lot worse before the 3.1.2 update. It happens very rarely now, and does come back to life once the OS of the device realizes that this is occuring. Until then, the screen and power buttons are totally useless..
Very frustrating, but this is the only solution I've seen work for me.
Good luck and let me know if this helps.

I received "Not Enough Storage" and my iPad couldn't be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. I can't go to settings or power down because the touch screen isn't responding. I did buy more iCloud storage with my phone,

I received a message stating Not Enough Storage. This iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. The touch screen will not let me select settings to correct this. I did purchase more storage via my iPhone, but I still cannot get my iPad working.

Try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

'Dead' spot on ipod touch screen - 103 days out of warranty - any ideas?

There is a section of the screen that is 'dead' and it is where the cancel & ok buttons are - this means that I can't play games properly and can't download apps etc as I can't touch ok. I went to the genius bar and they said it was 103 days out of warranty so buy a new one or live with it! Have done the 5 Rs, no joy so it is hardware. Surely it is reasonable to expect that a product doesn't break down in this way after just 18 months? Is there any consumer legislation that can help me get it fixed / replaced? Thanks for any help.

I feel your pain. My 1st generation Touch lost Wi-Fi three weeks after the warranty expired. Apple said, "hardware failure" and told me they'd replace it with the same model for $129 or I could buy a new one. It cost $400 when new! I think it should last longer than a year and three weeks. I purchased the Touch on a credit card that has an extended warranty program. I'm working with the credit card company to replace the failed iPod.

My iPod touch screen went fuzzy with pink and white stripes

Hello! I really appreciate if anyone would tell me what's wrong with my iPod touch.
I have been using my iPod touch for less than a year, and honestly, I have quite a bad habit: I always use it for playing games. And sometimes, I even use it while it is charging. Usually it's fine, nothing went wrong, so I keep doing the same thing sometimes.
one day, I'm visiting my relative and tried to charge my iPod. Since my iPod doesn't have an adaptor, I usually charge it using my laptop (the seller told me to charge it in a laptop/computer). One day, I borrowed my cousin's laptop to charge my iPod, but she only gave me an adaptor (not made for iPod or any apple products, but it fits so I thought it's okay). But the next day, I found out that my iPod went off by itself and I know that my battery isn't low.
I Tried to charge it using my laptop at home, but it still went off! Also, it went normal in my laptop (the iTunes appeared automatically, as a sign that my iPod is charging). So, I tried to restore it and I worked (at least I thought so), until I saw my screen went fuzzy (pink and white stripes). So, almost everyday I turn off my iPod, turn it on again, wait for a while, then use it normally. Usually it lasts 'normal' for hours, but it will still be error as usual.
So, my question is:
What makes my iPod touch screen went fuzzy?
Is it because I used it while charging?
Is it because I charged it with an adaptor that is not made for Apple products?
please help me, I don't know what else to do! I have restored it, I didn't download many applications like I used to before, and I left it alone when I was charging (I didn't play it while it's charging any more), and I even didn't turn on the Wi-Fi if I'm not using it (I almost NEVER turn off the Wi-Fi before my iPod touch went error)
Thank you for answering..

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 another cable
- 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.
