Ipod touch screen very dim wont light up
I can tell the ipod touch first generation is working. I can see the icons but the screen wont light up.Its very dim like when it going to sleep.
Try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: 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
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely the backlight or it driver circuits. It might not be worth getting a 1G iPod fixed:

Ipod touch screen is dimmed and won't brighten
i turned my ipod touch on one day and it was fine then the next thing i knew was the screen dimmed like it does before it goes into it's lock mode, but when i push the menu or power button the screen stays dimmed and i have tried several things to brighten the screen but nothing works. can anyone help me with this problem because i can't use my ipod touch anymore now?
- Double tap the screen with three fingers and go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off Zoom and Voice over too if you want.
- Alternately, you can connect to your syncing computer and go to the Summary pane. Click on Configure Universal Acess and turn off Zoom and Voice Over (if you wish). -
I had a very very small greenish like color dot in my ipod touch screen... I don't know how nd where it came from...

IPod touch 4th gen that wont charge or show up in itunes.
I have an iPod touch 4th gen. that wont charge. When I plug it in, it shows the battery with a little red at the one end and a lighting bolt ( the usual screen when charing the itouch after it is completely dead). I have left it in pluged in for a few hours but it never actually charges. Also when I plug it into my computer Itune won't recongnize it. The cords work fine I tested them with my other Ipods and everything worked liked normal. I have tried to restart it by holding the power and home button together but that doesn't seem to help either (again probably because it is dead). Thanks for the help.

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

The Home button on my iPod Touch is very unresponsive. It takes several tries to activate it. While doing so, it responds to one click versus the intended two clicks and vice versa. It is a very frustrating process. Any suggestions? I already tried the "shut off" process that was suggested on the Apple site, but that did not help.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.
It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days. The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4510

After January 1st, 2013, Do Not Disturb mode stays on past its scheduled end time.
Resolution
Do Not Disturb scheduling feature will resume normal functionality after January 7, 2013. Before this date, you should manually turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off.
To turn off the scheduling feature, tap Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb and switch Scheduled to Off. -
How to make iPod Touch screen more sensitive?
My iPod touch screen is not very sensitive to the touch. Sometimes i have to press down with a little force to get it to press what i want. I have tried other peoples iPod's, and compared to theirs, mine is not very sensitive. PLEASE HELP!
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try each of these.
Did your put a screen protector on it? Try removing it and see if that helps. -
My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it. I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white. Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired). Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.
If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

MBP - Very dim green light and won't turn on
I left my mbp running, and drained last week (overnight). after which, I tried using it, and it wont charge anymore (it shows a very dim green light only when connected to the charger) and it doesnt power on either.
My brother opened it up, took out the battery and connected the charger, but same thing - just the faint green light. I also tried using the charger in my sisters macbook and it was working fine so i know its not the charger...
Weeks prior to this, i noticed i had to wiggle the cord at times before it shows that its charging but i just ignored it.
Could this be a port problem? My brother is considering a logic board failure as worst case scenario, but my mbp is just over a year old, and i dont understand why that would happen. I really took good care of my laptop.Welcome to Apple Support Communities
More than a port issue, I think it's related to the logic board. It looks like the charger is not detecting the battery, meaning that the battery connector is damaged, but the problem is that you can't turn on your Mac, so it means a logic board problem. Anyway, if it's a port problem, you will need the logic board replaced.
It's a very expensive repair, but if your Mac is in warranty, you will get it repaired for free. Take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get your logic board replaced. You didn't lose anything from your hard disk
