Not registering touch

My iphone 5 doesn't always register that I've touched a certain part of the screen. For instance: I can't type in the search field for Google Images and currently can't type in the reply section for a text message. Anybody know what's going on?

Reset your phone, you wont lose anything. Hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up.

What if the right hand side of my screen does not register touch?

what do I do if the right hand side of my screen does not register touch? I'm out of warranty also, what options do I have?

If part of the screen is not touch sensitive, and you have tried power off/on and reset, the best option is a visit to an Apple genius bar to have the techs check and see what is wrong with the screen and touch circuitry.

Macbook Pro Retina (July 2014) will not register TOUCH events when going through the AIR DEBUG LAUNCHER for MOBILE

I recently purchased a MACBOOK PRO with a retina screen and have started to transition to it as a primary work computer.
I have a game that is built on another Macbook Pro (non retina) that works fine in the AIR debug launcher for mobile but when I launch it from the RETINA device, the touch events seem to not register correctly.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

To further clarify, it appears the touch simulator is cutting everything in half, maybe because of the pixel density?

Screen not registering "touch"

So a couple weeks ago, I was using my iPod (1st generation touch) and the screen stopped registering touches. Meaning- I could return to the home screen, but I couldn't turn the iPod off control the music or anything. I put it aside and went back to it about half an hour later, and it was working again.
About a week ago it did the same thing- started working about forty-five minutes after the failure.
Today the screen stopped working, and its been four hours.
I've been putting off having the iPod looked at because I'm waiting to get a used Mac from a friend and bring them both in at once (since going to the Apple store is a half-day-long affair).
My question is: is this hardware or software? I've been putting off restoring it, since I don't want to wipe out the settings/music unless its absolutely necessary. Would this help at all, or should I just bring it in?

I restored the ipod, and it seems to be working again.
I'll probably bring it in next time I have to go to the Apple Store anyway.
Thank you!

Ipod touch not registering touch

the screen on my ipod touch isnt registering gestures at all. is there anyway to diagnose / fix this? will a full reset cure it?

You are on the right track. Try in order:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPOd from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

Ipod not registering touches

So I updated to 1.1.4 and haven had numerous problems with the iPod part of my phone. It I can use all my other apps just fine, but when I click on Ipod it takes me to the "More..." screen. At this point it won't respond to any touches. Can't go into the Podcasts section or click on any of the lower navigation menu items like "Videos"
It also doesn't respond to me clicking on the "Edit" button in the upper left corner. When the screen dims after sitting for a minute, i can touch the screen and it responds to that, but can't interact with any of the iPod stuff on the screen. I have tried rebooting, resynching, and using other apps (which all work perfectly) and then go back to the iPod with the same problem.
any suggestions?

Still happens, can't figure why, may have to take it in. It only seems to happen randomly and will work fine for a while then stop. I sync it every morning and some mornings it works and some it doesn't, then occasionally it will just start working again and I have no idea what I did.

IPhone 4 randomly not registering first touch when loading page in Safari

I noticed lately that when my iPhone 4 (iOS 4.0.1) loads a new page in Safari it randomly sometimes does not register first touch if I try to scroll it. Afterwards everything is fine. Maybe page is still loading and lags somewhere in process. Anybody experiencing the same thing?

Well, it seems that there are people with the same problem. I made a topic at Macrumors as well:

However they have 3GS but phones are running iOS4 as well leading me to think it's a software issue...
Anybody else having this problem?

Not registering screen touches but device otherwise seemingly functionable

The problem is that it does not register any touches on the screen, though all buttons work fine. So I can turn it on and also do the shutdown, Home+Off button but can not Slide it to activate.
I had this problem before where I thought it had completely failed and order a return service from Apple. Ironically, the day the UPS package arrived, I tried it again and it worked until yesterday, several months later.
While I had no clue what happend the first time, I have an better idea this time. I was browsing with Safari when it crashed and froze the screen. Pressing home quit Safari after a while but from here, it stopped registering touches. After a hard reset, I was able to activate it and got to the home screen, I suspect my mistake was in re-entering Safari which again froze and stopped registering touches. Since then I have not been able to Touch anything regardless of any number of hard resets.
I suspect it started working the last time after it had been without use for a while causing a completely battery drain and this is what I'm attempting now. Though a bit difficult with the activation screen only showing for a few seconds and the last bits of juice requiring turning it on every third second.
I have been unable to find any postings of this problem on the forums or Google. Perhaps not using the right description.
I hope to hear from anyone with knowledge of this problem.

Dud...
To perform a 'hard reset' (in the Apple OS) is to Apple>Shut Down and then restart, A 'soft reset' would be Apple>Restart
Typically, only a 'hard reset' clears the memory.
With the touch OS Apple says:
If something is not working right, restarting or resetting iPod touch will likely solve the problem.
Restart iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the Sleep/Wake until the Apple logo appears.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the
same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
So it sounds like a touch Restart is what I would call a 'hard reset' and a touch Reset is what I would call a 'soft reset'.

My computer will not register my Ipod Touch

When I plug it into the USB Port, I can hear the sound of it acknowledging the insertion but it will not register as a new device. Nothing shows up on the task bar in ITunes or My Computer.

IPod Touch will not register

Synchs fine, etc... but every time I plug it in this morning, it wants to register it. I plug in my AppleID, it accepts it, fills in my info (if you put in the wrong password, it tells you so), it then asks if you want to get the free video sample, and then I simply click "Continue" or "No Thanks" (either way), and keep getting:
"We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The requested resource was not found. There was an error in the iTunes Store. Please try again later."
Thanks for any info regarding this.

I had this same problem. Tried a bunch of times but always got the same message. I have an ipod nano in addition to the ipod touch on the same machine so I thought that this might be the issue or that the itunes software was not configured with all up-to-date files. Removed itunes, apple mobile device support, and QuickTime and then reinstalled. I still had the same problem. I saw a post from someone else that said they were able to solve this by first logging into itunes store and then attempting to register. This worked for me. It was not a big deal that I could not register, just more of an annoyance. So I suggest trying to log into itunes store first before attempting to register.

Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
Thanks

X230t touch pad not registering clicks after spill

Hello. I accidently spilled non-acetone nail polish remover on my keyboard a day ago. I immediately turned off the laptop and wiped everything down with a paper towel. The keyboard and track point seem to be working fine, but the touch pad is having problems. It still registers when I move my finger around on it and even is able to scroll down web pages, but it will not register clicks when I click down on the touch pad or even when I tap it with my finger. Will I have to replace the whole palm rest area or should I just wait for it to dry some more? Thank you.

Hi,
This could be driver issue.
Please try to download the latest driver for your touch pad, and install it in Windows 8.1 compatibility mode to check the results.
Otherwise, contact the manufacture to feedback the issue and wait for the updated package for Windows 8.1.
