My ipod touch is only partially functional, requiring multiple taps to do anything, with apps crashing. I performed all Apple troubleshooting steps, including reset and restore, but no change in symptoms. What should I do now?

My iPod Touch (4G, 8Gb) is only partially functioning, requiring multiple taps on icons to do anything, and apps are crashing often. There is a thin white border that appears around icons when tapped once, then I must tap twice to activate. (that's 3 taps for what used to take 1) I successfully completed all the Apple troubleshooting page steps, including reset and restore, but there was no change to its condition. What can I do now?

Now that I think aboput it further, You may have an Accessibilty feature turned on.
- Try triple clicking the Home button to see if that will allow access to the iPod so you can go to Settings>General>Restrictions to turn off all the Accessibilty features.
- If not then connect the iPod to your computer and turn off the features. See:

If you click the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option on your computer's iTunes does that download them and/or do they show in the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes (TV programmes won't show in all countries) ? If other TV programmes show there but not those then check to see if they are hidden : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
If the above doesn't find any extra episodes (and I assume that there are more than those 4 episodes available in your country's store) then you could try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

Before you restore the iPod from the backup that Dave had you make yu have to transfer stuff from the iPod to the computer since the backup does not contain the apps themselfes, music, synced phots and some other stuff. To see what a backup contains see:

To transfer iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- For other stuff you need a third-party program like one of those discussed here:

I have not turned it off but it has been stuck in the same spot for 30 minutes now and I'm not sure what to do next since the screen says to NOT turn it off until done. Please help.

If it hangs much longer you may need to disconnect and then grab a micro USB to restore through iTunes

Call apple or take it into an Apple store. What's wrong is beyond a user fix.

My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch.   I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Try restoring to factory settings (not from backup) and redownloading your content.

How do i turn the voice off??
A little padlock with a circle around it has also appeared next to the battery symbol

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and then go to he Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes. Click on Configure Universal Access and turn Voice Over Off.
The padlock is that the screen rotation lock is one. To turn off, doble clcik the HOme button and go all the way to the left on the Dock row past the music controls and tap on the padlock in the circle arrow.

My bridge is asking me to purge cache to fix an error which I am doing and it is freezing on me.. what should I do now?

When I open Bridge it comes up with an error saying:
Bridge encountered a problem and is unable to read the cache. Please try purging the central cache in the cache preferences to correct the situation
I have tried to purge it but it freezes, also how do I stop this happening again?

Hi Mize,
I have been reading this post with great interest and have had exactly the same problem with Bridge CS4, when I downloaded from adobe the photography plan, which includes, Bridge CC and PS CC which I wanted to upgrade to. I downloaded as exactly what adobe said. All was well until I tried to open Bridge CC and got a message not compatible. Ended up downloading Mavericks OS and it worked with that. Managed to use Bridge CC for two days until I tried to download photos from my camera when my MAC Book Pro lost power due to battery problem. Just out of interest I will say while Bridge CC was not working Bridge CS4 did work. Bit strange I thought. Anyway having seen your thread I thought I had nothing to loose.
So thanks Mize I would like to thank you for solving my problem with this suggestion of new cache folder and hey presto ! it works with Bridge CC
Regards
Carl
