  • IPod touch home button not responding well even after replacement

    Replaced the home button of my 4th gen iPod touch 2 times but no go, I even tried to restore but it still doesn't work. Please any help will be appreciated.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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. Maybe you damaged something when you repaired thw Home button.

  • I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library, but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself? any help?

    I have purchased podcasts on itunes and they show up in the podcast library,
    but when I sync my ipod touch they will not go on to the ipod itself?
    any help?

    Are you positive these podcasts are configured to sync to your iPod Touch? Have you double checked the configuration for podcasts from under the iPod's Podcasts configuration tab in iTunes? 
    To access this tab, plug your iPod in and click on its name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes.  This will bring you to the iPod's Summary tab.  Locate the Podcasts tab along the top and select it. Here you can choose how and what podcasts sync to your iPod.

  • My home button does not respond most of the time. Is this a hardware failure?

    I've had quite a bit of difficulty with getting my home button to respond. Sometimes, the only way to get back to the home screen is to do a hard reset. I constantly close any open apps, thinking that this might be the problem (memory issue).
    Hoping you can help!
    Thanks!

  • My ipod touch is still not responding at all even after holding sleep/wake and home button the logo disappears then comes back what do i do now?

    Help please

    - After charging it for at least an hour try what you already tried.  You battery may be fully discharged.
    - If still problem, I would try restoring it via iTunes.  If the iPod does not show in iTunes try placing the iPod in recovery mode.  For recovery mode see:

  • Ipod touch screen is not responding anymore!

    i have a first gen ipod touch that i got in christmas of 2007.
    it's only given me problems a few times, and i use it every day.
    but lately, it's been acting really wierd.
    a few weeks ago i went to use it. when i went to type my passcode i had to press the numbers more than once to get them to type. then after it was unlocked it wouldn't always respond to my finger. i would have to lock it then unlock it to get it to do something. i reset it a few times but that didnt help so i just put it down and when i used it the next day it worked fine, and it's been working fine until yesterday.
    ever since yesterday the touch screen works for about three or four actions then i have to lock it and unlock it again to get it to work. and even after i do that, it stops working after a few touches or swipes. i've reset it a few times with no help and i even let it just sit there and charge all yesterday afternoon, last night, and today but it still wont work. even when i type my passcode, or even when its locked but i double click the home button to pause music - it still doesnt respond. but the home button and lock buttons work fine its just the home screen.
    i want to do a restore, but what will happen if i do? will i lose everything thats on it??
    what do you think i should do?

    The backup you make before you restore includes information such as mail settings, notes, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store will be restored from the backup. Your music, videos, and applications will be reloaded by iTunes as they were before the restore. This article gives all the details and shows you the screens you will see during the restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Why is my iPod touch 5th gen not responding?

    I pushed the sleep/wake button and then I came back to use it. It didn't respond when I pushed the home button and the sleep/wake button and I've tried turning it on. That doesn't work and my iPod is completely unresponsive and blank. I've connected it to my computer and opened iTunes and iTunes didn't register my iPod. I've tried plugging it in and charging it but it didn't respond and remained completely blank. Would be great if someone could help. cheers Daniel

  • HT201406 My 2nd generation ipod touch screen is not responding at all is there anything i can do to fix this?

    I let my cuzin borrow my ipod and when she gave it back the screen was not responding, my volume button is pushed all the way in and the lock button doesnt work very well. Is there anything i can do to fix it or anywere i can get it fixed?

    well unfortunatley your warranty is over so the device is not covered,  BUT sounds like you have interupting signals being sent from a stuck home button constantly being pressed and maybe even a digitizer problem (the touch screen).  You can try to restore your ipod to your computer to see if it might be some kind of software related issue.  Just restore to the last sync you have on iTunes.  But FIRST...I would try to Reset your ipod.
    Go to Settings>General>Reset> Reset all settings.
