my ipod 3rd gen. touch screen is unresponsive, cant slide to unlock or enter passcode to access ipod. What is the cause? how do i fix this?

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.

  • Im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound unless i  talk right next to the mic. how can i fix this

    im having a problem with my mic on my ipod 5th gen it works but it douse not pick up any sound  unless I  talk right next to the mic but it sounds low  . how can i fix this

    - Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the top edge near the center.
    - 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - 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.

  • Ipod 3rd Gen Touch screen won't rotate to landscape

    My Ipod Touch 3rd Gen froze in middle of the screen rotating to landscape mode one day. After having to restart it the screen won't rotate all the time now, just whenever it chooses to. I checked and the screen lock is off.  I've restored it and it worked once then went right back to the problem, same as if I reset or turn it off. I'm starting to think something got corrupted after it froze and then I reset it.

    I think the highest I've dropped it from is maybe 3 feet but it still worked fine. When it froze I had it in landscape then flipped it to normal,put it on a JVC dock the went to flip it into landscape again to play a video at which point it just froze. Then I restarted it and it's been deciding when it wants to rotate. As if right now I have he newest OS and it's curretly working. It may be fixed or it may be a trap. I'll keep an eye on it for today then see of it still ends up don the smas thing.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

    Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes.  If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode or yu do not have the syncing computer, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore. For recovery mode see:

  • My Ipod Touch 32gb 4g home button has started freezing. I press home and it only occasionally works. How can i fix this?

    I want to know is it the software or is it broken.
    I press home to return to the main menu and it 40% of the time works. It makes using the Ipod difficult and uncomfortable and i'm really dissapionted and don't want to use it for fear that it will get worse.
    Not only this but sometimes when i press lock screen it just flashes the screen.
    I updated to Ios5 recently and had no problems. I have 1GB of memory left. All my apps are functioning no bother.
    I havent bashed my ipod around, the screen only has minor scratches so i don't think i've been careless however my broter and sister regularly use it too so it doesn't have much rest time.
    Also is it better to power off or lock screen at night?
    I thank you for any replies, does anybody else have the same problem?

  • HT4060 Charging iPad 3rd gen using cable and plug provided is VERY slow - like a trickle charge. If I had the wrong plug I could understand this but can anyone explain?

    Do I have a real problem or is this NORMAL?  I've never heard anyone else complain about this unless they were using their iphone chargers

    Are you using the iPad at the same time?  If you are, it will charge quite slowly.  The absolute best way to charge your iPad is to connect the wall charger to your iPad and when you hear the charging chirp, power your iPad down completely.  It charges most effectively when it is completely off.  Because the new iPad battery is twice the size of the previous battery, the charging cycle can range (depending on the level of the battery) up to 5 hours even with iPad completely powered off.  I personally charge my iPad at night when I'm asleep and don't need my iPad.

  • I have iphone 4 - my screen goes crazy cant slide to unlock or answer calls!!!

    Howdy there cckey,
    It sounds like your phone is completely unresponsive and is showing an incorrect date and time. I would start by resetting the phone with this article:
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    How to reset
    You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    That should get your phone back up and running correctly. If not, I would use the following article to backup, then restore your phone with iTunes on your computer to reinstall the iOS on it:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
