IPod touch screen will not flip when turned sideways

My iPod when i turn it to either side it wil not turn. It still works with no problems. I've tried everything from restarting to restoring. This problem is very aggravating if anyone can help I'd be much obliged. Thank you.

Do you have any applications that depend on the iPod's ability to turn sideways that you could test out and see if they work?
The free application iHandyLevel would be worth downloading and opening to see if the leveling capabilities respond when you angle the iPod. If not, you've got a hardware issue and the iPod needs to be repaired.

My iPad does not ring when I am getting a FaceTime call. And my volume is on. Also I have noticed when I charge my iPad at night I no longer hear that connection sound that it used to make. And lastly, my iPad will not flip when turned.

I no longer get a ring tone in face time when receiving an incoming call. My volume is turned on. Then I noticed when I charge my iPad at night, when I make the USB connection, it does not make tha connection sound any longer. And now my iPad will not flip. It only stays in one direction. Has anyone experienced these things? I do not know what to do about these issues. Thanks.

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

My ipod touch screen will not rotate

My screen will not rotate. I understand it does not rotate when the keyboard is open, but is ther a rotate lock button somewhere?

If the screen rotation feture is locked(3G and 4G only) here will be a circled arrow with a pdlock inside shown on the upper right part of the iPod's screen. You access the lock by double clicking the Home button and going all the way to the left on the lower part of the screen. you will either see a circled arrow or the circled arrow with a padlock inside. Tap to change.

Phone screen will not change when turned

Just recently the phone screen will not change direction whn the the phone is rotated. Any ideas?

Double-tap the Home button to bring up the background applications. Then scroll to the left until you see a gray icon with a circular arrow -- that locks/ unlocks the screen orientation.

Brand New iPod Touch 4G will not charge, or turn on

Hello.
I have a brand new iPod Touch 4G, and when I plug it into my computer, nothing happens. My computer for some reason is not reading this iPod Touch;
I have no other way to charge it.
No damage has been done to the product from my observation.
I have tried to restore it, reset it, and other things like that, but iTunes still isn't picking it up, as well as my computer..
I am on a Windows 7 Starter Notebook, with 3 USB ports (that probably are not high-powered), and for some reason it just doesn't want to charge.
I'm going to take it to school with me later to see if it will charge, but in the mean time, do you guys have anything that could possibly get my computer to start reading this iDevice?
thanks,
Matt

I have tried a different machine, and it is not my computer.
I have plugged a different iPod into this charger and it charges just fine.
So, it's the iPod its self.
I read an article somewhere and it said that
If your iPod is formatted to work with Macintosh, windows will not read it.
So, I'm thinking my iPod is formatted for Macintosh, (I cannot format it for windows), because it is completely dead, and it won't turn on.
So, should I try a wall charger as my last resort to try and get it to turn on?!
Thanks,
Matt

My iPod touch screen will not work.

Ever since last night, my iPod's touch screen has been messed up. I didn't use it incorrectly or anything; I just used my iPod like I normally did for the past eight months. I have seen no problems until now. The iPod's keyboard is screwed up, when I press the letter "a" the capitalizing button is activated. They same is repeated over and over among over letters as well. The first sign of the issue was when I was trying to watch a video, the play button refused to be pressed and random things were constantly activated while I did nothing. The lock screen slide doesn't work either, the only way to get into my iPod is my activating the lock camera and then pressing the home button. Should I restore the iPod or is there a quick way to fix this?

Your screen digitizer needs to be replaced. See options in link below.

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know what I can do? I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing. The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost

Be sure you turn off all antivirus, spyware, zone alarm, firewall etc. And connect using a different USB hub.
Hope that helps.

My ipod touch 4g will not turn on.

My ipod touch 4g will not turn on. when I try to turn it on, I get the itunes logo and the usb cable with an arrow pointing up to the itunes lable. I dont know how to fix it. My computer is equipped with itunes and I tried using my computer to fix this problem but it didnt work.

Restore. Note that it could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I have an iPod touch that will not turn on.

Hello forums! I have an iPod touch that will not turn on. I have tried everything I can to turn it back on, but I just cant find the right thing. I dont know if it is in need of a new digitizer, or the battery is dead, but I would really appreciate some help. It is an iPod touch 3rd generation.

My iPod Touch 5 Will Not Turn On... At All.

My iPod touch 5 will not turn on.
It's not that it's dead, nor that I turned it off.
I left it on, wrapped my earbuds around it, plunged it into my backpack and headed out... In the rain.
I had an otterbox case on it too.
I come home, leave it to chill out before using it for about 20 minutes because it's also very cold outside. (15-20 degrees fahrenheit)
After 20 minutes pass, I need it for something. I try to turn it on, and nothing pops up.
No apple logo.
No empty battery photo.
Nothing.
I tried plugging it in in a variety of different wall plugs and computers.
Nothing.
iTunes doesn't open, iPhoto doesn't, nothing.
I don't want to reset it completely because I would lose over 1,000 photographs and memories.
I don't even know HOW I would go about resetting it considering it's not working.
So much for a "protective" case.
It was in a backpack, an otterbox case, and I was outside for about 2 minutes in the rain. I'm not sure what to do.

Plave it is a sealed container with uncooked rice for a couple of days. Then:

The above my erase the iPod. If you do not have a backup contacting a data recovery company may be in order. Not cheap.
