My Ipod screen continuously switches from the Apple icon to the passcode.

My Ipod touch screen continuously switches from the Apple icon to the passcode. I have tried a soft and hard reset and neither has worked. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPOd from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  The appointment is free except for yuor time.
If when you connect the iPod to your computer the iPod does not appear in iTunes so you can restore the iPod,  place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • The screen on my Ipod touch came away from the back.

    The screen on my ipod touch came away from the back and then stuck back down a couple of days later. The battery seems to be weak now but everything else is OK. What could have caused this? Over chargibg in the car cradle?, Heat? Being held too tightly in the cradle?, Getting water inside?
    Has this happend to any of you.

    If you have successfully restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iTunes keeps freezing when I try to switch from the Summary page to the Podcasts page to try and manage which podcasts I sync to my iPod. It doesn't freeze when I manage anything else, only podcasts.

  • I have a MacBook Air, it automatically minimises and switches from the screen I am in for some reason ?

    I have a MacBook Air, it automatically minimises and switches from the screen I am in for some reason ?

    This problem is often caused by "Google Drive." If it's installed, I suggest you first check for an update. If that doesn't solve the problem, remove it according to the developer's instructions. You may need to boot in safe mode to do so. Back up all data before making any changes.
    If you use Google Drive and don't want to remove it, then try deselecting the option in its preferences to "show status icons." According to reports, that may be enough to stop the Finder from crashing.

    If covered by warranty, and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost. You can send it to Apple See:

    Otherwise,
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • I bought an iPod classic in Japan from an apple store...

    I bought an iPod classic in Japan from an apple store. I still have the reciept but obviously it is in japanese. There are 3 or 4 dead pixels stuck on the iPod screen. If I take it back to an apple store in the UK could I have it fixed? The iPod is less than a year old.
    Thanks,
    TehTom

    If it was purchased less than 14 days ago, you can return it to the store for a full refund and buy a white one.  Otherwise, no, you can't exchange it.

    Double click the Home button and swipe your finger to the right. On the very far left side is a arrow going in a circle.  Make sure this is no padlock inside of this circle. If there is, tap the icon once to disable the orientation lock.

  • My Ipod has been disconnected from the internet.  All efforts to date have failed,including resetting my network settings and trying to log in again.

    My Ipod has been disconnected from the internet.  All efforts to date have failed,including resetting my network settings and trying to log in again.

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
    - iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network      
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • How do I switch from the American to the British store?

    How do I switch from the American to the British store?

    You are here in the UK with a UK billing address on your account ? If you are, and the stores think think that you are in the US, then try going to the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app on your phone and tap on your account id, then tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account, and then select the Country/Region section and select the UK.
