My ipod is stuck on the lock screen. It is really zoomed in and I can't move anywhere to get in or to shut it down. Any advice?

Help!

Try:
- Zoom in or out. With Zoom turned on, double-tap the screen with three fingers.
Try tipple clicking the Home button and then try to unlock the iPod
Last:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

My nephews iPad Mini is stuck on the lock screen. It's frozen and you can't slide the unlock bar. I tried rebooting it and it didn't work. What can I do to fix it?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

My iPod is stuck on the startup screen, showing just the apple logo. Has anyone had this problem before? If yes, then how did you solve it?

Try:

- 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 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.

LauraAnn41,
Help is our middle name! So let's jump into troubleshooting right away. Have you tried holding the power button and home key simultaneously for up to 30 seconds as an alternate reset? Please give that a shot and let us know how it goes.

Turn the MBP off by holding the power key for 10+ seconds.
Reset the SMC and the NVRAM:

Iphone 4 stuck on the locked screen.

My Iphone is stuck forever. It started slowly. First it started getting stuck while using, then it happened more frequently, and within two day it's been totally stuck on the locked screen. I tried everything including resetting, It didn't work. What should I do?

Did you reset like this?... press the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
In your case, it may take more than 15 secs of button holding, maybe as long as a minute.

Hi Cjroyle,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that your iPhone will not boot past the Apple logo on the screen. To troubleshoot this issue I'd like you to please follow the steps in the article below.

The lock screen on my IPad zoomed in on itself. It is zoomed in so far that I can't unlock it, and I can't see the 'slide to power off' option. I've tried to reset it numerous times. Any suggestions?

Try double tapping the screen with three fingers to return to normal size. If it works go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.

I tried powering off and on and it went away, but I can't tell if it's been broken into since everything works fine (I'm using it now) is there a test to see if it's been broken into?
Thanks for all your replies!

My iPod is Stuck on the Reset Screen

It had been a while since I used my iPod Touch because I didn't have I lost the charger. I recently bought a new charger and once I plugged in the iPod, it started to charge normally. But the apple logo and the dead battery screen would go back and forth. So I reset it by holding the home button and lock button, and it restarted like normal with the logo but it's stuck on the logo. It has been on the reset logo for hours and I reset it multiple times to see if it would help but it is just stuck on the reset screen. I don't know what to do, I can't turn it off and resetting it isn't working.

Hi.
What is the exact notification you are waiting? This could be possible that the device has already been opened once. Don't you think?

My Ipod is stuck on the apple screen, and i've tried EVERYTHING

Let me vent a bit before my question:
I have had my Ipod Nano sent in 3 TIMES FOR REPAIR.
But they keep sending the original product back, still in non-functioning condition.
So, I sent it one more time.
I got it back today.
I plug it into my computer, and after about 45 minutes, my computer FINALLY recognizes it.
So I figure we're back in business.
Then, I start to update, and its says that it can't because it can't be read or something. (after it said it updated like 10 songs or something)
So then I reset the Ipod.
Now its stuck on the apple screen and I can't get it off.
I am so frusterated, you can't even imaginnnneeeeee how ****** off I am.
This freaking Ipod has been in shipping more then actual play time.
So then I made another request just now for repair, and it says that it already has a repair out, but my ipod just got back today..
So.
Could you please help me out here? I'm a little erked.
Thanks, Caitlin.

have you tried connecting it to a/c power and not USB? Resetting in both cases? Letting the power drain? Ipod firmware updater?
I would call them again and get a supervisor or something.
