My screen wont respond. Any ideas?

Areas of my screen aren't responding and when I try to scroll in just clicks on the area? Any suggestions on how I can fix this? My screen is cracked but is has been for months, can this effect the sensitivity?

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.
- Restore from backup. See:                                 
iOS: How to back up           
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I suspect the cracks finally propagated to the digitizer element and it will need to be rreplaced.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

    Have you tried a soft-reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

    I have downloaded updates for microsoft office and now the internet wont work - any ideas?

    If you want to simply do a 'fresh' install (versus wiping out all of your data and doing a 'clean' install) simply boot to your Recovery partition (hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and when the Recovery screen appears, elect to freshly install OS X.
    Don't know that will solve your problem, though... did you do the 'automatic' update or download the update as a disk image (.dmg)? I wouldn't think that would be causing your problems...

    Try holding the buttons longer--at least a minute or until you see the Apple logo light up.

  • I need to fix a broken screen. iPhone 5 any ideas?

    I need to fix a broken screen. iPhone 5 any ideas?

    Contact Apple support at the appropriate number from: http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask about possible screen replacement being offered in the UK for the iPhone 5...in the US that is only done on the iPhone 5, and not at all Apple stores at this time.  Only certain ones are doing so.
    If that is not an option, an out-of-warranty replacement for the iPhone 5 is $229 in the US, convert to Pounds Sterling.

  • Since upgrading ical on mac can't sync calanders with older generation touch using 3.1.3os now calander on touch generates blank screen...any ideas

    since upgrading ical on mac for .me account can't sync calanders with older generation itouch using 3.1.3os now calander on itouch generates blank screen...any ideas

       Thank you for suggesting the link. it seems the problem was even simpler than I had thought had I read the FAQ link of the iCal/me upgrade notification ... Apple's latest version of iCal simply does not support versions of the iOS earlier than 4.2. The device I had been using was a first generation touch... Still working ... with out error in good condition despite having been to hades and back... But no longer supported by the newer versions of the iOS and the  .ME ical application...
        Another beautiful but orphaned device:-(.  Like the absence of support for "ancient" apple operating systems, including   their more interesting applications, it is simply no longer supported...one must move on to purchase new hardware and it's associated  software to keep up with the evolving cloud os.   The blank screen ical problem, on the touch,  was corrected by performing the standard start up reboot procedure...with no loss of data  and a return of the screen interface in the end. Again another example of the really outstanding past efforts to make robust system products.   I will try to put my old touch to good  use in its new " retirement" status ...use it some where else, like my original 128k Mac ( that still works as well!). Guess it is time to purchase a newer tool ;-)
    Thanks again for taking the time to make the effort to assist

  • HT201406 My multi touch screen wont respond at all.

    I have tried cleaning the screen and reseting and restoring my phone, I even tried to set it up as a new phone and but it seems that no matter what the middle section of the screen wont respond.

    Try resetting: hold down the power and Home buttons together until the Apple Logo is displayed, and release. No data or settings will be lost.

    No, sounds like when you dropped it an cracked the screen it may have also damaged the logic board or the repair person damaged a cable.

  • My ipod screen wont respond to any touch

    my ipos wont respond at all any fixes ? my disconeccted wire ?

    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.

  • I pod touch got wet and screen wont respond

    My daughters Ipod touch got some sports drink on it.  we immediately put it in rice over night and then sat it in the sun the next day.  It will sync to Itunes, the screen comes up in full color but it wont respond other than putting it to sleep and turning it on and off.  Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    First off, it should have remained in the rice for a few days. And sitting it in the sun could have damaged the device. Put it back in the bag of rice, but my bet is its cooked.
