My iPod touch screen has blacked out on me and i cannot unlock it or anything and if i try to restore it or resync it still stays black. What do i do?

Please help

Is it still charging? If yes, let it charge for about 10min, then connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
If this is not working, or the iPod does not charge anymore, you'll have to get it serviced or looked at by visiting an Apple Store next to you:

My ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots, I have restored it but it is still white. It shows in ITunes but I cant do anything with it. Can anyone help please

My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it. I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white. Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired). Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod Touch Screen wont time out?

So about two days ago I noticed that my ipod's screen wont time out and turn off, if I for example decide to manually change a song rather then skip it from my headphones, it stays on, so i have to manually turn of the screen while I'm playing music..I don't know why I haven't changed any settings or droped it nor has any water gone in it. Is this normal? I mean its not too much of a problem but since I do use it most of the day at work it makes my battery run out much faster. Any help is much appreciated.

It might be one of two things.
I know you said you didn't change any thing but,
Check under settings, general, and autolock it might be on 'Never' change that
Or i might be misunderstanding.
You might be use a stereo base and i don't know but if you are, the ipod, if on the 'Now Playing' page is up, will not go to sleep automatically

My iPod touch screen has some circle marks

My iPod touch 4g has some really small circle marks on the screen. Even if I clean the screen it's still there. What can I do?

They are most likely marks under the LCD, you should take it to an Apple Store and get it replaced. (Since it's Manufacturer Defect)

IPod Touch screen has gone white with grey lines

I have had my iPod Touch for a year and a half, so unfortunately it is out of warranty. About two months ago it started behaving strangely. Every other time I turned it on there would be a white screen which after a few seconds would get slightly darker with vertical grey lines. The screen was still responsive, and you could hear clicking. Turning the iPod off and back on would resolve the problem and the screen would reappear with no problems at all.
Unfortunately this got worse. Now I am unable to turn the iPod on without getting the white screen with grey lines. The iPod is still responsive. I can plug it into itunes and browse it normally.
I've reset the iPod many times and completely reset it through iTunes with no luck.
Any suggestions? Is this a hardware fault and is it possible to resolve? Or is there something else I can try? Any help would be very appreciated.

My old Touch 2G has the same issue. The Apple Store Genius couldn't tell what's the problem. However, I observed that the white grey striped display appears almost every time (or at least far more often) when the iPod lays on a ground. It is fixed by tilting it 90°, so that the dock connector is pointing to the ground.
And sometimes the density of stripes changes by pressing home (no, I don't mean switching from spotlight to first home screen page, because this happens in lock screen, when home button does nothing) or pulling out the dock cable. So I think it's something near the dock connector and home button. Hardware fail, maybe the not so fitting dock cable in the rounded dock connector is the issue.

Welcome to the forums. Sorry to hear about the damage to your iPod. You do not provide any details as to how this happened, although the chances of a spontaneous fracture are fairly slim: there were some cases thought to be exploding screens, but the damage was due to too much pressure. As an owner of the iPod touch and the iPhone, that must have been phenomenal.
If the problem was due to a manufacturing fault, then your warranty (if you have had this for less than 12 months) should take care of this. If not, Apple can repair/replace the screen with a charge. If it is out of warranty, there are places that can replace the screens at a somewhat lower charge.
I would start with the nearest Apple shop if I were you.

HT201210 Ipod Touch Screen has nothing on it and cant turn it off.

My son's Ipod Touch has a blue/purple screen and will not respond at all when trying to turn off. The screen is blank and also will not let me restore it on the computer when I try.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

Can Apple fix my charger port on my iPod touch 4th generation with out deleting the data I have on it (pictures , games and such)

I Guess this would apply to the term accessory but can you fix it without deleting data

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours. Also, Apple does not preserve or transfer the data
Apple - iPod Repair price
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more. They say they try to preserve data
iPhone Repair, Service & Parts: iPod Touch, iPad, MacBook Pro Screens
Can you or do yo have either an iCloud or iTunes backup of your iPod? The backup included apps data and photos/videos in your Camera Roll album.
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
