New iPod touch blinking on and off repeatedly
I just bought a new ipod touch today, and once I plugged it in to my computer, it showed the apple logo, but then the screen went haywire by blinking on and off. When it's blinking on and off, the screen looks frozen.
I've hardly touched it, what do i do? Someone please help. (please spare me any sarcasm)
Actually, after I got the iPod Touch replaced, it had the same exact problem, which I suspect that I'm just very unlucky because my computer is relatively new. I've been trying to figure this out for weeks.
I did take my iPod back to the store where the associate talked down to me and kind of made me feel stupid (on their computers, nothing is wrong..but at my house, it's pretty much cursed) ..so yet again, I am trying to get the iPod replaced and figure out what is wrong.
I also tried calling, addressing two problems (one of which is irrelevant). They pretty much gave no answer for this question. They told me to restart it, but as I said, no button works after it shuts off.

I just got a new iPod touch 4th generation and I'm trying to connect to my router and my iPod says, 'Cannont find network.' I don't know what to do! No other networks come up on the list so I can't 'tag' along with thier wifi. Please help. I need advice.
What type network is yu router set up for? The 4G iPod can only connect and see 2.4 GHZ networl like B, G and the 2,4 GHz N. There is also a 5 GHz N but the iPod will not even seethat network.

New apple user, just got new iPod touch gen 5 and there is no App Store on it. Restored it twice and this does nothing. What do I do, help please :(
Has it been disabled via Settings -> General -> Restrictions?
I assume you have checked other pages of apps by swiping to the left from the home screen?

Do the new iPod Touches shoot video and take pictures?
Do the new iPod Touches shoot video and take pictures?
The new Nanos shoot video. You'd think the Touch would.
I spent maybe 20 minutes reading Apple info pages, an iPod comparison page, and even quickly searched the User Guide, but saw nothing about shooting video anywhere.
Sure, it talked about video, but it wasn't clear to me if that was only for playback.
I guess I am missing it, or else it doesn't do it, which would be strange.
If it does, where is this info on the Apple Web site? That is, links to both video and photo shooting?
Thanks!
S.not yet....
most people expected a camera to be added to the iPod touch, but that announcement didn't arrive. -

Hi everyone,
I have just bought new Ipod touch 32 GB and upgraded to 5.0.1 and it it worse now my battery doesn't last for more then two hour.
what should i do? it is seriously big problem.
Please help me.......This is a general comment, not directed to anyone, and not to be taken personally by anyone. This ongoing screw up with the new upgrade (5.0.1) is getting to be a **** SHAME. In no way can APPLE or anyone else for that matter not know by now that the upgrade is terribly flawed. The Ipod machines themselves are super great products, and I enjoy mine to the max. However the upgrade once applied ruins it. And at least, not to my current knowledge, there haven't been any fixes forcoming.
In my opinion Apple should own up to that fact and warn folks that, even though the upgrade was presented with the best intentions, IT JUST AIN"T WORKING. And not to download it until further notice. This noticication could be done through the retail sales outlet, online, what ever.
I liken this to a pharmaceutical coming out with a new vaccine, encourage everyone to use it, then discover it's bad to the degree it causes it uses to become sick. Rather then pull the vaccine they keep on allowing unsuspecting ones to continue to vaccinate, and become sick. What a shame!

- 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.
- Then connect to computer and try to restore via iTunes.
- If the iPod continues to cycle like you describe, let the battery fully drain. It may take a while. After charging for an hour try the above again. -
New ipod touch wont sync and a frozen screen what do i do have restored it but nothing
I have a new ipod touch just put it on the computer for the first time and it wont sync and has a frozen screen.
i have restored it and that did not work.Unplug your iPod from your computer and hold down the home and power buttons until the screen turns off. Then hold them again until the Apple logo shows. Eventually, your iPod should work again.

It's Christmas morning and my parents bought me a new iPod Touch 4th Generation 4G 32GB. I started charging it, 5mins later I walked back into my room and there I saw it - frozen, white screen with light green, vertical lines. It's brand new, and I just opened it about 5mins prior. I never dropped it, it never touched water. My mum bought it at the nearby Target. I opened it, in it's case and everything. So I have no clue what happened. I really hope the workers at Target didn't just sell me a broken iPod. This really stinks, and I really hope somebody can help me. I feel terrible for my mum having spent so much on it. So please, someone help me out.
Hello planb77 / PANIDORA, I'm having the same problem. I'm using my iPhone 5S or my iPad Mini cable and wall charger to do it (both originals) , and the iPod Shuffle does not charge at all, doesn't matter if is direct on the wall or trough my Macbook Air.I 've restored it once, but nothing has changed. What else can I do?
