  • Lock screen of ipod touch

    How do I "lock" the screen so that as I work, I'm not accidentally hitting buttons and making things happen that I don't want to happen? My previous iPod was a Classic which had a Lock button on the top. Does the iPod touch 5 have an equivalent to this button? Thanks

    The iPod touch will play music and and do some other things when the iPod is sleeping. Just start playing music (other another apps support his) and then press the button on the upper right of the iPod. The screen will go blank and the music will continue to play. You can access the Music playing screen to by double clicking the Home button,.  See the users guide for mor information.

  • How much does it  costs tp repair a screen for ipod touch?

    how much does it costs to repair the screen to my ipod touch 4th generation

    By third party we mean a place that is not an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) or Apple Authorized Distributor (AAD) - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1434
    I browsed the iFix web site.  Nowhere does it specifically state they are an AASP and usually places that are will make that immediately obvious.  Their FAQ mostly mentions how to set up a franchise and does not  state that repairs made by them will not void any Apple warranty.  Apple is very particular about anybody working on their devices and if they detect somebody else has worked on a device (even if they do a good job) they could refuse to even look at a device again (warranty or not) in their shop.  I'm not passing judgement on other companies, I'm just observing this so the OP knows in advance.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne
    "An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications."
    The underlined clause could be interpreted by Apple to be any sign of anybody else having worked on a device.  This isn't just Apple.  If somebody is going to warranty a service then they want to make sure they are not also covering anything that might have been caused by somebody else working on the device previously. 

  • Syncing movie screen for iPod touch wont scroll

    When I connect my ipod touch, then go to movies tab in the itunes (v9.02) two or three lines of movie icons show and the tops of the next row. If i try too scroll down, the initial window goes up like a window shade and leaves me a blank screen, it does not reveal the rest of the movie icons. Is there some setting in itunes that will affect this or is it a bug?

    - Make sue all accessibility features are turned off; See:
    iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - 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 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.

    Thank you for that update.
    I would next backup your device to iTunes with this article:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    And restore it first as a new device, and verify that it works properly, then restore from your backup with the same article below to ensure that it is still working.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If it does not work correctly when you set up the phone as a new device, I would next seek service for your iPad:

  • When I boot up the iphone 5s after it being off it will load then as soon as it gets to the lock screen it goes to sleep right away it will show me the lock screen for a second if that

    When I turn on the iphone 5s after it being off it will load then show me the lock screen for a second if that and then go right to sleep mode right away as soon as the lock screen comes on

    Hi Apple user 789,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The following article will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 146 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    Back up your device.
    Transfer and sync content to your computer.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Happy Holidays!

  • My daughter forgot her passcode for ipod touch. What do we do?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store   
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • IOS 5.0 update for iPod touch: restore from backup?

    I downloaded the iOS 5.0 for iPod touch and everything got backed up beforehand. Apparently my backups are encrypted and a password is needed to use a backup and restore everything back. I don't know what that password is! Can anyone help?

    If you don't know the password, you'll have to set it up "as new device" and start all over again without using the backup. If you did not encrypt your backup and this somehow happened after the update, try to put in one of the password you use on your device, for example the screen lock password or your iTunes account code.
    There have been cases in the forum, where users were able to unlock the backup by trying this method, after their backup got encrypted during the update process for an unknown reason.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • I cracked my screen for my touch, it still works but the cracked is big and annoying . I'm still under warranty, will they fix it still?

    I cracked my screen for my touch, it still works but the cracked is big and annoying . I'm still under warranty, will they fix it still?
    It works fine. Some of my album covers are mixed up though, not sure its because of the fall. help me

    It is very unlikely that Apple with replace your iPod under warranty since the warranty covers manufacturing and design defects. A crack screen is usually not caused by a defect.  You can alway make an appointment at ter Genius Bar of an Apple store and ask.

  • Camera from lock screen unlocks iPod

    After updating to IOS 5, when I use the camera from the lock screen, my iPod is then unlocked.  No password needed.  Ouch!

    Sorry for the confusion.  I misunderstood the difference between autolock and passcode lock and how they work together.  The passcode timer doesn't start until the iPod is put into sleep mode, or the autolock has occurred.  I had to wait long enough to ensure the passcode was in force.  I could use the camera, and the iPod remained locked afterwards.
