My Ipod 4th Gen screen got viciously cracked an the screen is unresponsive. Can I get it fixed?

Okay, so, I just found my Ipod today after it has been lost for two months. It was under my recliner in my living room. Both buttons are functional and work and it charges just fine. However, there's one big vicious crack near the bottom left corner. It looks as if someone dug their heel into it. Then, near the button, the glass is tore up. It doesn't look like much damage happened other than that in that area. But, when I turn on the ipod, the screen has vertical blue and red lines on the side and one horizontal green line in the middle. And there's horizontal white lines that are on the bottom of the screen. Also, in the bottom left hand corner of the screen (which is near the bad crack I mentioned) it's got a white cloud with grey in the middle. It covers where the begining of where you would swipe to unlock the ipod. Which, I cannot do. But once I charged it and it flashed to put in the code, whenever I put my finger near the button, it would press that button even though I didn't touch it. The upper half of the touch screen works perfectly, just not the bottom half.
Now, I really need to get to my notes on it. None of my notes are on my email, so that's not an option. I need to know if I can just get this repaired, so I can use it, or if it is past the point of repair and I have to replace it.

IPod 4th gen screen lifting and black spot, what do I do?

Ok so like 2 months ago my iPod 4th gen screen started lifting. I was like woah I have to get that fixed but the weird part was that I had never dropped it. Also after a while it started getting a black spot right next to where it was lifting. I ignored it at first because it was small but then it started getting bigger. My case has kept it together but to clean it I have to take it off and when I snapped it back on the corner where it was lifting cracked. I don't know if this was something like they didn't put on the screen right but I don't wanna have to pay so much to fix something that they did if it was their fault. Help please what do I do
Would the warranty cover this?

If the iPod was not abused it is covered by the warranty.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My ipod 4th gen screen kept jumping this morning. Had to do a restore on it and it is working fine now. However, when I did the restore it did not load the Nike app that was factory installed on my ipod. I use this app daily. Any idea how to get it back

My ipod 4th gen screen kept jumping this morning. Had to do a restore to factory conditions and it is working fine now. However, it originally had a factory installed Nike+ app on it and it did not install with the restore. I use this app daily with the running chip to log my workouts. Anyone know how to get this app back from Apple? Loading the Nike app from the app store is not the same thing as you need gps running continually for it to work (as with an iphone). Can't have that with my ipod unless I'm connected to wifi. Help?? Thanks.

If you go to Settings do you see an entry for the Nike app? There is no way to delete or hide that app?
Have you tired using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.
Next would be to restore a gain. First from backup then next to factory settings/new iPod.
The Nike app you can download/install
Nike+ Running for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store
Does work on the iPOd. You just do not get all the information that GPS/cellular connection can get. You will still be able to get distance/footstrikes like the installed app an you do not need the shoe sensor.. It uses the built-in sensors on the iPod

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!

This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.

If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

HT204053 If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad

If I have an apple ID for myself and my wife has just got a iPhone for the first time how can she get the same apps as I have for my iPhone and iPad by getting it off my iCloud?

She can't from iCloud without setting up your iCloud account on her phone. But just sync the same apps from your iTunes Library on your computer to her phone.
Your wife should setup her own iCloud account - which is separate to the iTunes Store accounts.

Confusion about ipod 4th gen screens

I am a bit confused, because I keep reading conflicting accounts about the ipod touch 4th gen's screen shattering easily. Some people claim their screen broke without even being dropped , falling off a lap onto a bed, or shattering when dropped froma short height, even with a strong case that was supposed to protect the screen. Others claim to have dropped theirs from a great height, onto cement or other hard surface and with no protection or just a silicone sleeve and the screen was just fine. I don't get the inconsistancy. Does it have to do with when the ipod was produced (I know some were produced in 2010 and some in 2012)? Or is it just one of those weird things that has never been resolved? On that note, what case would protect the screen the best. One store recommended Otter cases, but I've seen many poor reviews for the ones produced for ipod touch 4th gen. I've also had stores recommend Griffen Survivor cases (which actually look like they would protect better than the Otter cases). Anybody have experiences with either case, or can recommend one even better?

A bad USB hub will cause the problem ... are you using it ??

IPod 4th Gen Screen Popping Off

Recently, my little brother noticed his screen popping off, we ignored it thinking it wouldn't move up any farther. About a month later, the screen is popped up so much, he can't use the home button anymore. Can we get it repaired? Also, can we exchange the iPod for a new one at Target or any other nearby store?

If within warranty you can try go to eithr the place you purchaded it (If not Apple) or to an Apple store. Make asn Appointment at the Genkus Bar of an Apple store.

If the iPod was abused, 9e.g., dropped) that voids the Apple warranty.
Apple will replace it with a refurbished iPod. If not underwarranty the exchange price is $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
