hello im haveing trouble opening my ipod it wont let me swipe to unlock or turn off please help

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 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.

You need to add a valid payment method to your account. Purchasing and redeeming an iTunes gift card will work

My ipod wont let me download anything

My ipod wont let me but anything from the app store, its saying i need to sort out billing issues but when i go to type in my security code it says its unavailable

What happens when you try to purchase anything? Error messages?

My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough

To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
Does the app/iPod meet this?

To change asccount information see:

For the code issue this may help.
iTunes Store: My credit card's security code or zip code does not match my bank's records
For a standard iTunes account you need a valid payment method even for free apps and app updates.
What is making it think that you own money for an app upgrade?

try moisturising your finger a bit if the skin is too dry it can give problems

Claire, please post your machine specs as requested. There are some variants of the MBP with specific hardware issues. Example: the older "silver key" MBPs with 2.2Ghz and faster processors can have a defective video chipset that produces a black screen or distorted video. That problem is covered under an Apple program that will fix this at no cost to you if you computer is that model.
Do "About this Mac" from your Apple menu and, in the resulting window, click the "More Info..." button. That launches System Profiler for you. The first screen looks like this:
The second line, "Model Identifier" (or "Machine Model" if you are running OS10.4) precisely identifies your MBP variant. Post that, and include it in your equipment info in your profile for future posts. That means people don't have to ask, and you get faster help that is targeted to your specific model. Saves everybody a bunch of keystrokes and you get better advice.

Hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. Can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. How to fix this, please?

I had hacker problems so I reloaded Snow Leopard. Afterwards, Mac had to delete 798 items. Now it is looping on 4 items to delete for the past 2 weeks. I can't reboot, reload, or restart. I have to let the battery run down for it to turn off. I think a big part of the problem is that someon one the internet (the hacker) was mirroring my hard drive. It seems to have locked up my system. I could be wrong about this guess, though. All I do know is that it is now looping on the last 4 iems, and I can't do anything.
Well, I can get it to turn on, but all it does is continously try to delete the last 4 items. When I try to reload Snow Leopard, it tells me my hard drive is full and that I need to delete items.
Can anyone help? I am so lost without my Mac. I am back on the PC, and though it works, I'm sure many of you will understand when I say it's just not a Mac.
Thanks.

I installed Snow Leopard using my Apple external Superdrive. I followed directions I found on the Apple site. Here is the article info: Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard: How to Erase and Install

Everything was going smoothly until I got to the reinstall part. I had to choose to reinstall on a hard drive or network drive. I've never used a network drive; just the hard drive. It seems that's where the troubles began. I selected the hard drive. It seemed to go well, and then I got the message that I needed to delete some files because I was out of space. I chose to get rid of my music files, but, there were only 636. I don't know what the rest of the files were. I was using the Secure Empty Trash command.
That was my first time doing an erase and install. I tried to do it again, but I now get a continuous error telling me that my hard drive is full and I must delete files. Only I can't delete files because 4 files are still being deleted and my computer won't let me stop the process.
I found out about the hackers mostly by the fact that whenever I used to watch something like Hulu or Netflix, I never had problems with internet connection or speed. Lately, I had internet connection problems. I went in to check my settings for my internet provider and found out the settings had been changed to public and all these extra computers were connected to my network.

My mom put my ipod 5th gen in the house somewhere and it was turned off. It is connected to the internet in the house. How do i turn it on with the Findmyiphone or something else? It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help!

That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys

Hi the_mad_movies,
It seems like this article will be the best option for addressing this issue:
Error 3194, Error 17, or "This device isn't eligible for the requested build"

My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

My ipod only goes to the apple screen and freezes then turns off after about a minute. Is this fixable?

Try a system reset. It's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

My ipod wont let me buy apps etc... keeps saying this is the first time this device has been used and to sign in and answer security questions. I have had this account for years but cant remember the answer to the security questions. How can i fix it?

My ipod wont let me update to IOS 7

My ipod which is ipod touch 4thgeneration wont let me update to IOS 7 and it says that its up to date but i want to update to IOS 7
and i dont get emojos or enything i just get a keybord.

As posted on Apples website since early June, ONLY the 5th gen ipod touch supports ios 7.

My ipod wont let me put more then around 300 songs on it.

I had dropped my iPod with a case on, and picked it up and it was fine. It still runs fine and all, but when I try to put songs on it from my iTunes, it only puts on around 300 and then iTunes freezes and wont let me put anymore on. I have tried with a couple computers, so its not iTunes thats the problem. Anyone know how to fix this?

It could be an indication that the hard drive was damaged during the fall. I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread. He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate. From there we can try to determine if the iPod has any life left or if it's time to bite the bullet.

Ipod wont let me download or update apps

I have a 5th generation ipod touch but now for some reason wont let me download apps or update apps. At first I thought the apps that wont update gliched my ipod so I deleted those apps but still nothing. This started after I got iOS 8.0.2, before it was fine. What happens is I can go into my app store, go to any app but after I click install but it never asks for my password ( I haven't tried with paid apps though) the app appears on my home screen loading but said waiting, though after some time its gone. It never downloaded. This is what happens with any app I try downloading. HELP PLEASE. if you can tell me any reason or solution, please do so. Thanks

After reading this post:
Not downloading the applications
at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4254406?tstart=0
I logged out of iTunes on my device (iPod Touch 5th Gen), turned off the recommended apps on the same page, and then shut device all the way off for about 10 minutes. Powered on, logged into account, and now it downloads apps using wi-fi when before it locked and only showed the "get +" box.
