I have not experienced that problem but it's a warranty issue. Contact Apple - 800-275-2273 in the U.S.A. and I think Canada.

Anyone else having this problem with the iPod Touch 5g?

I just got the iPod Touch 5g tonight, and I love it, however I have this one little issue with it. Here's a picture of it. As you can see, the app I'm using isn't taking up the entire screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed with an update for the app? Several of my apps do this.

The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

IPod Touch 5th Gen charging cable wont work

So I got my iPod Touch last year around in November... about 3 months later my lightning to usb cable started playing up on me, (my cable was the one i got in the package BTW) it would only let me charge in a specific position for about 2 weeks and I noticed some little bumps on the pin point of the charger.. after 2 weeks my cable just completely stopped charging my iPod. So I went back to the Apple store and bought a new lightning to usb cable and i took very good care of it. Now its playing up on me AGAIN! It has only been about 2 motnhs since I bought it and yet again it has those little wrinkly bumps on it. Now my cable has little holes and I have absolutely no clue how it got there. I thought this was just my cable and that I just have bad luck but my friend had the same problem with her lightning to usb cable for her iPod 5 too. I dont think there is anything you can do but I just wanted to make sure Apple has been aware of this incident! Thanks!

Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable is covered by the same one-year warranty as the iPod itself

My working iPod touch (5th gen) shuts down automatically and wouldn't start, was this iOS 8.1 related?

My iPod screen went dark when I try to wake it, then the power button can't turn it back on either. I have the 16GB version, still got 7GB of usable memory but this was the first problem after installing the iOS 8.1. I don't think it was the battery, the battery icon that used to be visible when the system is off but it was not there when I tried to charge the battery. At this point, my 16GB iPod Touch and all the files inside are waiting for rescue.

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 another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Iphone5 screen not working to the touch off and on? Anyone else having this problem? Thanx

My new iphone5 is freezing up when I try to end a call-- screen goes black and will not let me hit "end" a
also while browsing the web-- won't let me tap on anything in a website-- all occasionally -- tried hard setting it and turning it off and on--any suggestions? Thank you.

Same problem just experienced, But in general the touch screen is not as good as iphone 4. Does anyone know whether we should seek for repair or just cope with it by swiching off and on?

As of february 5th 2014 my ipad mini keeps restarting! anyone else having this problem?

i really could use help on this. I've tried all restart and reset options. could it be a software glitch?

As far as I know, iWork applications were always snails.
I didn't noticed speed changes in the late 10.6 versions.
With 10.7, the new features, Autosave and Versions, add an important use of the processors which clearly slow the apps.
I assume that we will have to wait until the next major update (iWork '10 or '12) to get apps really optimized for this operating system.

My iPod touch 5th gen can't play videos?

I've had my iPod touch 5th gen since Christmas Eve and I haven't had any problems with it, but a few days ago it stopped playing videos and now - even though I have turned it off and back on and turned the wifi off and back on again - it still can't play videos off any site, Facebook, dailymotion, YouTube, nothing. But I can view webpages and get Internet connection just fine!!
So if you know what I could do to fix it please help because it's very frustrating!!! Thanks

IPod Touch 5th Gen Won't Wi-Fi Sync

My iPod Touch 5th gen won't sync over wi-fi while the two other iPhones and one iPad in the house will. My iPod Touch 5th gen isn't even recognized in iTunes despite having "Sync with this iPod over wi-fi" checked. The "Sync Now" button is grayed out on my iPod as well. What's going on?

Why does my ipod touch 5th gen not charge when plugged into my computer? (it keeps stuttering(lightning symbol next to bettery goes on and off literally every second))

so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.

Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

Ipod touch 5th gen cable

All apple products are covered under warranty. Apple will replace it if you are having problems with it.

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen.

My Lightning to 30-Pin Connector will only play music through my iPod dock from my iPod, and will not charge my iPod touch 5th gen. Help me please.

Have you tried resetting the dock by removing it from power? What about resetting the iPod Touch? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
