My ipod touch 3rd gen display is inverted colors

My ipod touch 3rd Gen. displays colors are inverted. i have read a bunch of stuff about acceabilty but this one doesnt have that. so im not sure where to go from here.

Go to Settings>General>Accessibility. There should be an entry for Black on White (or it could be White on Black), For later iOS it is titled Invert Colors.

  • When my ipod touch (3rd gen) displays an white image, a whiter spot appears on the screen?

    It only appears when displaying light images, and i have only just noticed it a few days ago. My ipod touch is running iOS5.0.1
    If you have had this problem, please tell me how you fixed it.
    It's not a dead pixel, it's just a small circle of pixels that seem to be a noticably different shade of white than the others.
    My ipod is under 2 years old now, so the warranty is void.

    You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factry defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem then repair/replacement is required if you do not want to live with it.

  • IPod Touch (3rd Gen) won't boot unless usb powered

    Info:
    iPod Touch (3rd Gen) 32 GB
    Latest Version available (5.1.1)
    Tried resetting settings
    Tried hard reset (home button and power button at the same time until apple logo)
    Has a full charge
    So basically any time I try to turn the iPod Touch on it will bring up a black screen for a second on the display, fail to boot up to the apple logo, and then shuts the display off.
    I have done everything up to restoring it on iTunes as listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    The only problem is in the process of this occuring I have had a hard drive fail so my iPod Touch backups are more than likely lost without further analysis. So what would be the next best step? I assume refreshing it and backing up everything with a backup on my new hard drive under iTunes. Obviously, my computer would know anything about this iPod since I don't have its previous backups, but I should still be able to get the basics (music,videos,photos,etc) back thanks to default iCloud account right?
    Thank you for your time.

    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - 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. Likely a bad battery

  • Ipod Touch 3rd Gen Freezes, is really slow.

    I just bought a new 32GB iPod touch 3rd gen yesterday, and it keeps freezing up. When it loads the "Slide to unlock" screen, the text doesn't "light up" and when I slide the slider over, it doesn't move. after about 20 seconds it then proceeds to the home screen and is frozed there for another 10 seconds. Then it responds normally and lets me use it temporarily. after X amount of time, (1 min - 5 mins) it freezes up when I try to enter text, and does not display the text i'm typing for about 20 -40 seconds and seems completely unresponsive. then after that 20-40 seconds it enters all the text that i typed, or if i pressed the home button during that time it will show the home screen. Any ideas on the problem? I plan on exchanging it today.
    I have tried hard resets and 2 factory restores on 2 separate machines with no difference in preformance

    Yes I have the exact same problem bought mine in December the 32GB version. I brought to a authorised repair centre but they could find nothing wrong with it. I am back to square one with a dud ipod - lots of reports on here of similiar problems...

  • Will Apple cover me if updating to iOS5 on ipod Touch 3rd gen ruins/bricks it?

    I have heard stories of some people's apple products not working/bricked after attempting to upgrade to iOS5.
    I have a 1.5 year old ipod Touch 3rd gen. No warranty on it from Apple (tho I do have one from Square Trade for ADH, but I called them and they said if it is a software issue, they don't cover it.)
    I am very concerned about d/ling the ios5 upgrade and it ruining my ipod touch.  In effect, I will take a device that could fetch almost $200 on ebay (which I could then use to upgrade to a Touch 5gen), and turn it into a worthless piece of junk if I upgrade and it ruins it.
    Also, I know that they have released 5.0.1 (beta I believe?) for update.   I still read stories on here from people waiting until now (Nov, a month after it was first released when so many people tried to d/l it and had terrible problems), but now are still getting network timed out error msgs, etc.
    So is there ANY protection from Apple if their update should screw my ipod touch??
    Should I just wait longer for a final, stable version  of ios 5? (like v5.1)  Or just totally skip the iOS 5 upgrade and stay safe with iOS 4?  I don't know that it is really worth the $200 loss risk to upgrade to iOS5.  (i.e. 3rd gen doesn't have the ability to find and lock/wipe my lost touch, etc.)
    I do know that I should:
    1) install itunes 10.5 anew on my laptop  (itunes and syncing WAS done on my tower, until I just got it back from being serviced for some Major problems/virues/malware/etc.  I'm not comfortable using it, as the problems on it included not being able to start Local Services, connect to the internet, no audio services, etc.  The guy says it is booting up and services are working now, but you never know....But i digress...)
    2) be on AC and not battery on my laptop
    3) be hardwired (ethernet) to the internet and not use my wireless connection
    4) turn off Windows 7 Firewall, and disable my PC Tools Spyware Docter with Antivirus.
    So, what do you all think? should I wait until later to upgrade to say os 5.1?  Should I even RISK upgrading to iOS5 on a touch 3gen and lose almost $200 cash?  And will Apple give me ANY protection should it ruin my touch?  (I seriously doubt it.)
    Thanks for input.

    Before proceeding with the update, it wouldn't hurt to manually back up the iPod in iTunes by right->clicking on it from under the Devices section and choosing Backup.    See this article for more information on what is stored in the backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Also make sure that any content you may have synced to the device from iTunes, such as Music, movies, TV Shows, podcasts, etc. are all stored on your computer and in iTunes before updating the iPod's version of iOS.
    Otherwise, I would go ahead with the upgrade.  I didn't have any issues with it on my iPhone.

  • HT1454 Can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    After having spent EUR 130 on cables from apple, i still can not get video out from my ipod touch 3rd gen. Any ideas? It should nt be diffiicult to do this on the 21 st century, or not?

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPod touch 3rd gen is malfunctioning

    Well first, my iPod touch 3rd gen would start turning off (not all the way, just so that you have to turn on the screen and swipe the lock screen) without me doing anything. It stopped that quickly though. Then the volume sign would start appearing on the screen without me ever touching the volume switch. And then whenever I tried turning it off, (just the screen again) it wouldn't turn off, and I'd just have to wait until it automatically went off. These weren't horribly big problems, but I wanted to get rid of them of course, so I turned my iPod off all the way, with holding the power button down. Now I can't turn it back on at all and I don't know what to do. I'd really appreciate help, I'm not super good with this stuff, 'specially this. thanks! <3

    Try this for the freezing

  • My ipod touch 3rd gen will not update to 4.3. It says it is the current version

    when i try to update my ipod touch 3rd gen to 4.3 on itunes it says "your ipod is up to date" and "this is the currnet version".  But when i try to buy certain apps it says "you must have version 4.3 to download this app" what do i do? i have 4.2 and i have even clicked the "check for update" button and waited for the automatic update check but it always says its the current version even though its not! please help me!

    You appear to have a second generation iPod touch, not a third, and those can't be updated past 4.2.1. Apple sold 8GB second generation models at the same time as the third generation ones.

  • I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

     I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

    - First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    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.
    - Next try downloading/installing a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod.  this is last result since you will lose app data.

    because you do not have a 3rd generation device. The OS Version says so , otherwise you would be at 4.3.5 minimum and also Itunes is also always correct in determining if you have the latest OS ( if not it fetches the newest from Apple's Servers ) . And because a 2nd generation iPod stops at 4.2.1 you can't get the newest OS, because your device is old. Buy a new iPod , they have iOS5 preinstalled.
