My iPod touch only responds in a few spots or not at all. The touch pad seems to be malfunctioning, if it even is that. What can I do ?

All my iPod touch does is show white after I unscrewed it. Grrrrrr. Help me tell me what to do.

What do you mean by " after I unscrewed it."? Did you take it apart?
If it always shows a white screen and you can't turn it off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hout try a reset.
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.
And then connect to your computer and restore.

    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."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I installed Mavericks a few days ago and downloaded all the available updates, which installed correctly (or so it says).  Now I can't open my iPhoto app because it says it's being updated.  Any suggestions?

    There are two ways to recover from this condition.
    1. Select
    Store ▹ View My Account
    from the App Store menu bar, then select View hidden purchases. Stop or resume the download.
    2. Open LaunchPad and find the icon of the app you're trying to install. There will be a small progress bar below it. Click the "X" to stop the download.

    That sounds exactly like an issue that has plagued McAfee users for around a year.

  • My iPod Touch 2G 4.2.1 is acting up on me. What can I do?

    I have an iPod Touch 2G with an iOS of 4.2.1. I've had it since 2011, when I found it slightly beaten up but still usable in the bottom of an old sofa chair. I think that one of my relatives accidentally let it slip from their pocket, but that's another story. Since then, I've used it as my main portable Internet device. I've also jailbroken it. Unfortunately, the past few days have seen it work really badly, so much so that I had to reset the whole thing. Last night, I attempted to reset it. The instructions said that the reset would take about two hours to complete. But now, the thing keeps loading, shutting down, and re-loading and re-shutting down over and over. No main screen, just the Apple logo and my jailbreak logo, and then it shuts down and does it over and over and over and over. It's been almost 24 hours since I began to reset my iPod Touch. I'm so worried. I tried to disrupt the process by holding the home and power buttons at the same time, but no response. My computer can't even get it to respond.
    I cannot afford to purchase a newer model (or even an iPad) or have it repaired. I'm on food stamps and still looking for work. Plus, the iPod Touch's warranty ran out years before I came across it, so Apple can't send me a new one. I have another iPod, but it's an iPod Classic. I've had it for over four years and it's become an indispensable part of my life, and so has the iPod Touch. I'm extremely upset right now. If I took this to the nearest Apple Store's Genius Bar and asked for help, I would probably be laughed out of the store. I just don't know what to do.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. The appointment is free.

  • My ipod touch shows I have wi fi connection but no internet access, what can I do about this?

    I have a new ipod touch and it shows I have a wi fi connection, but I am not able to connect to the internet.
    Any suggestions?

    Try this first.  In Settings > WiFi: Turn wi-ff, then turn it back again.  If this does not work try Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    If you have never been able to connect and are using WPA security, make sure your password is correct.  If you are using WEP security, you're wasting your time as WEP is hackable in less than 30 seconds.  And the iPod often has problems with WEP.
    In any case, if you can't get it to work at home, try it in a place with free wi-fi.  If it works there the problem is probably with your router (this can be the case even if your router works with other equipment).

  • When my ipod is plugged into my computer music disappears, sometime it tries to upload songs, clears my playlists, and can't locate the songs files. All the same songs are in my Itunes library on my computer. What can i do?

         When I plug my Ipod into my computer it shows all my songs on it as reloading onto the device,
    and sometimes it can't locate the files or they are just gone. All my songs are in my Itunes library
    on my computer, and I do have it in my settings not sync the Ipod with my computer so I can
    manage the content myself. It has happened multiple times.
          I have cleared my Ipod off as well as my computer, and put all the music back on without seeing
    any improvement. And as of today when I tried again it shows some songs on there but with 3 copies
    of the same song trying to upload onto my ipod. And have of my playlist where empty. I am getting
    frustrated and don't know what to do. Help.

  • TS1424 A few purchased Songs only play for a few seconds or not at all...

    I have a few songs that after purchasing on i-tunes, they play for a few seconds and that's it.  How do I fix this?  Do I have to delete them from my i-tunes folder and then go to songs purchased and download them again?

    Yes, assuming you are in a region where you are permitted to redownload your music purchases delete the copies of the corrupt tracks from your iTunes library, go to the iTunes Store home page, click the Purchased link from the Quick Links section in the right-hand column, then select Music and Not on this computer. You should find download links for your tracks there.
    If the problem persists contact the iTunes Store support staff through the report a problem links in your account history, or via Contact Support.

  • Ipod touch doest seem to shuffle very well

    ok well i use an ipod touch 2g with a alpine ida-x100 radio unit so that i can listen to my music in my truck. lately ive noticed that while listening to the songs my ipod will play certain songs more than others and some artists back to back. is there a way for me to make my ipod shuffle better? and if it helps i have about 450 songs, and ive made sure skip when shuffling is off.

    Yes- I agree the only way I was able to get it to shuffle was with the app on with the screen turned on. However, the Apple Store, said they didn't think that was necessary. I cannot get my unit to shuffle at all any other way.
    When you get your unit to shuffle, do you have to shake your unit really hard or wildly? I have to do that with mine.
    I have tried a restore but when I restore, and it asks to restore with last backup and I click to do that aren't I just putting back on the same that was there before the restore? So if there is a problem with the original download of 3.1.1 software aren't I just putting it back like it was? Should I tell it to restore as a NEW iPOD?
