My iPod Touch 4g is unresponsive to touch in some areas...almost unusable now, and not under warranty.

This iPod is not under warranty anymore, unfortunately, but I've noticed that it has had a few problems since I got it, but it was never this bad until just recently. The iPod touch screen will not respond to touch in a vertical row on the left side of the screen, and horizontal in random area of the bottom screen, which is hindering me from typing or playing apps and even scrolling through my music. I've tried this: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1827, I've also restored, restarted, all kinds of things. This device has never been jailbroken, had waterdamage, or anything (it's also running the latest hardware).The iPod used to do this, but I'd reset it several times and it'd be fine, but just recently it won't fix anymore. It also is very erratic and touches the "s" key for example, even though I'm actually touching the "m" key, which are very far away from each other. Also, sometimes if I unlock it (which takes multiple tries since not of that row works) and leave it there, it will starts doing it's own thing and opening random apps and such. I'm thinking of taking it to the apple store (the only reason I haven't is because of many bad reviews online for that store), but I'm afraid they are going to want to charge me for half of what I paid for it. Any suggestions? It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

all good now problem solved never mind

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for 2 years now and then after about a year when I plugged in my iPod to my computer, the iPod is read but the tab where I would always go that showed my list of artists to sync to my iPod does not show up

I use an iPod nano 5th generation. I have had it for about two years now and after about one year, I plugged in my iPod into my computer to sync more music. Here is the problem: The tab where you go to sync music to your iPod and shows the list of artists and songs you want to sync to the iPod, the tab I can get to but the list of songs and artists does not show up and the only way I can sync music to my iPod is to basically wipe my iPod and start from scratch. Obviously, I do not want to do that because I do not have all the songs in my library that I have on my iPod. I have uninstalled iTunes and then re-installed it, but it did not work and I do not know what else to do. I would really appreciate helpful guidance to get it fixed if it can be fixed. Thanks in advance

Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

My ipod touch 4th gen says ipod disable connect to itunes but shows up as digital camera on computer and not in itunes

i cant get it figured out

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen

I have an Ipod Touch 4.I've ben able to sync my music but some tracks from the same CD are being displayed as though they are from separate albums and not part of the same one!

Tracks from imported cds are appearing as though they are from separate albums.Particularly if they are compilations.

You can use iTunes to select the multiple tracks of the same album, and give them the same Album Name from the info window.
If that does not solve your problem, be sure to check if your songs have different sorting albums. If so, change or delete the text in the sorted albums text field.

IPod Nano 6G power/hold broken and still under warranty...

Can I get it replaced/repaired at an Apple Store?

Hope you have more luck than I did especially if you've been anywhere near sweat or in a humid climate, whatever is wrong with the nano they'll blame on water damage.

My trackpad/lion/wifi was unresponsive except to a forceful tap. OK now and responds to slight pressure after changing the batteries.

Without warning the trackpad seemed to freeze responding only to a forceful tap. I changed the batteries though they were shown as being at 29% power. Even this didn't seem to make a difference then after a frustrating hour the track pad reverted to its old self wih a responsive pad i.e slight pressure for a click. The original batteries showed plenty of juice when checked. Bluetooth showed as connected. At a loss to understand this and keen to avert a repeat occurrence. Was this just a glitch or a widespread problem? I am new to this forum so looking forward to your comments.

No, not paired to anything else, fresh out the box connected to the mac mini I bought at the same time, never been paired with anything else.
I think it's a hardware issue. As I don't seem to be able to get it to turn off.

IPod Touch Home Button unresponsive

This only started to get bad Monday. It started to be finicky about Sunday. The button isn't stuck; "clicks" like it should when pressed but the device is entirely unresponsive unless it's pressed and held to get ANY response whatsoever. Very frustrating. When pressed, it goes down fully without much pressure like it should and comes back "up" when released.
I don't know what to do or what even caused this. It *almost* seems like a software issue, since I recently updated to 6-point-whatever iOS for the Touch 4 and that was pretty recently.
I'll try using canned air on the button itself this weekend if there happens to be any sort of dirt underneath it.

The warranty does not cover accedental damage like a broken screen. However, some time the Genius at the Genius Bar of an Apple store will replace the iPod at not cost. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar and ask. If not under warranty, Apple will exchange yours for:

How can I get my iPod to play noise when it says my headphones are in but they arnt and I can't get it to play music with out my headphones in ?

How can I get my sound to play my iPod says my headphones are in all the time and they arnt so it will only play sound when my headphones are in

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem..

New iPod lost all contacts and notes

I got a new iPod which iTunes recognized without a problem except I lost all my contacts and notes when I switched to the new iPod. How do I restore them? I did not have them in my mail program because I only used webmail. I need to put all the contacts from the old iPod backup onto my new iPod. Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

You could try restoring from the backup of your old ipod:

Ipod touch is designed to be synced with a compatible program on your computer. If you are not doing this, then you are asking for trouble at some point.

When ripping a CD to iTunes to sync to iPod classic, songs are not listed in sequence. Some are missing only to find them further down the list

When ripping some CDs to iTunes to then sync to my iPod classic, songs are not listed in proper sequence. Some are separated from CD and listed elsewhere, what gives??

You probably have you Itunes music set as list and not as albums. Go to view at the top of Itunes and check as albums.
