My ipod touch 4g has colorul stripes going down the screen and its not working

i need help i was on facebook while i got these coloful stripes on my ipod and now its not working

First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • My ipod touch 4th generation dies after disconnected from the charger, and won't work in the computer (windows). Help would be apreciated!

         I hadn't used my ipod for about a week, and when I went to go charge it, I tried to disconnect it. When I did, it just shut off. I tried it with several other charger cords (both car and home), tried pressing power and home but only seemed to work when connected to the power and nothing when not connected, and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Do I need some in-depth tech support or what?

  • My Mac has a dark curtain that slowly goes down the screen and then asks for a shut down of the computer. What is happening? What do I do?

    I am having a problem with my Mac Pro spontaniously having a darkened curtain that slowly goes from top to bottom of the screen and then in a message box asks me to shut the computer down. There is no warning. I cannot go on with my work as it seems to freeze whatever I am doing. I do no lose the work I am doing, usually, but it is hard and annoying while working. Any helps? I have taken off most apps and fonts that I have installed secondarily. What can cause this and what do I do?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)

  • I have got a new pc, and I want to upload the music from my ipod 4g to the pc and its not working :(

    I have just bought a new computer as my old pc has broken. So I want to upload all the data from my ipod touch 4g to my new pc. I try and do this by clicking sync and nothing happens.

    It would actually be easier to use the backup files from your old PC. You were backing it up to an external drive?

  • My ipod touch 4g, has a white spot on the screen when you turn it on, what is that and how do I fix it?

    When you turn the ipod on, there is a noticeable white spot on the screen/display. Once all the apps come on you can't see it, but when it starts up you can.

    From you descriptionis is hard to tell if it a atain on the outside of the screen or just what.  Have you tried cleaning the screeen as said in the users guide:
    Cleaning iPod touch
    Clean iPod touch immediately if it comes in contact with any contaminants that may cause stains,
    such as ink, dyes, makeup, dirt, food, oils, or lotions. To clean iPod touch, disconnect all cables and
    turn off iPod touch (press and hold the On/Off button, then slide the onscreen slider). Then use a
    soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth. Avoid getting moisture in openings. Don’t use window cleaners,
    household cleaners, compressed air, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to
    clean iPod touch. Rubbing the screen with an abrasive material may scratch the glass.
    For more information about handling iPod touch, see the iPod touch Important Product Information
    Guide at www.apple.com/support/manuals/ipodtouch.

  • Iphone 4s has vertical lines all across the screen and will not power down unless it is charging. What is the problem here?

    My iphone 4s recently stopped turning on. I left it alone on the charger for a few days and now will power on just fine. However I have vertical lines going across the entire screen. I also noticed that it will not power down and stay off unless it is connected to the charger. Is this a hardware problem?

      Try to Reset your device. 
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).

    pls i need help

    The ipod and iphone will not connect.  This has never been a feature of either device.
    Bluetooth is supported for stereo headsets/speakers, handsfree telephone devices/headsets, some keyboards, some peer-to-peer apps from the app store and internt tethering where provided by the carrier.
    Other than this, it will not connect to another device/phone/computer.
