I can't use the swipe feature on my ipod touch 5. How can I fix this?

My ipod touch 5, 28 GB will not allow me to swipe or scroll. I have to tap the feature I want then a box appears around it & then I have to double-tap to get it to work. I can't access anything that is not on the first screen because I can't scroll down. I have no idea what to do to fix this.

Please tell me that it has NEVER been jailbroke. If it has not been jailbroke, here are some standard repair procedures:
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until 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.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

The 'Swipe to Camera app icon' function is not working. I swipe across but the camera app doesn't start up at all. Does anyone else have this problem? Can it be fixed?

You don't swipe but actually press, hold and push up.

The bottom bar on my mail has disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward to an email. Any ideas how to get it back? Touching the screen at the bottom doesn't work!

The bottom bar in my email seems to have disappeared which means I can't create, reply or forward any emails. Any auggestions to how to get it back? Touching the bottom of the screen doesn't work. Thanks.

Close all apps in the Multitasking Drawer; Double Tap Home Button to open drawer, Swipe up on each app to close it. Repeat until all apps are closed, touch home screen.
Restart phone, hold both Home and Power/Sleep buttons down at the same time, continue to hold them down until the Apple Logo appears, Release both buttons and wait for phone to restart.
Check email app to see if bottom bar and new email icon have come back.
If not, delete the email account in settings and then add it back in again.
If mail still not working as it should, you may try doing a Reset All Settings reset in Settings => General => Reset => Reset All Settings. You won't lose any data, music, apps, videos,pictures, etc. But you will have to go back in and turn on or off any settings you changed on your phone because everything will be set back to factory defaults.

Picture-Preview is out of focus, if I'm using the swipe-gesture in the Apple PhotoApp.

Hi,
this is my first question, and I think it's a iOS-related issue, but I coultn't find a way to ask Apple directly. But maybe you can help me, too
If I took a photo with the Apple PhotoApp and do the swipe-gesture to the right to see the preview of the photo this preview is out of focus. It's only the preview, the picture itself is perfectly focussed. If I take a second picture and do the swipe-gesture again, the newly taken photo-preview is out of focus, if I do the swipe-gesture again - to switch to the photo taken before - this photo is focussed.
The photos that are stored in the album are always focussed and perfect. If I touch the little preview of the last photo in the PhotoApp (lower left side) instead of using the gesture the preview is focussed.
Do you have any ideas? The problem persists for many iOS-Versions. The problem never got corrected. I get my updates OTA.
- sorry for my bad english -

If you are in Hong Kong, go to Digital Trade, 1/F, Sincere Plaza, Argyle Street, and it will cost you 120-150HKD, but before you go check that your power button and home button are working correctly, if not press as hard as you can, hope this will help.

Podcast headers remain after deleting usnig the swip method added in 2.2

I have a 2nd gen iPod Touch with firmware 2.2 and I am able to delete podcasts with the swip method and it says it deletes them and they are removed from the list.
The problem is that if I shut the touch off and turn it back on, all of the podcasts I deleted are back in the list. They are still deleted because if I try to open one I get an error. It is really annoying that they reappear in the list even though they are deleted. I have to use iTunes to completely remove them from the list.
Anyone else have this problem and is there a fix for it?
Thanks

That is strange and beyond me then. All I know is that after 2.2 arrived I stopped downloading podcasts on my computer and syncing to my Ipod and instead downloaded direct to my Touch via Wifi. At the time, I had some podcasts on my Touch that originated via a previous computer sync. It was these Podcasts that reappeared as what I called "phantom" podcasts after deleting directly on the Touch and powering down and then restarting.
As I said, they kept reappearing no matter how often I deleted, however after I removed them from my computer resident iTunes and then resync'd the Touch they stopped reappearing.
I also note that if you have any Wifi direct podcasts on your Touch and you sync it with iTunes, it will automatically transfer these podcasts to your computer resident iTunes and I found that these titles would also continue to reappear after being deleted on the Touch until again they were deleted from the computer resident iTunes and resync'd with Touch.
So, all I can say is since I have adopted this processure I have no more phantom podcast titles reappearing after powerdown.

The "swipe" gesture has stopped working on my Pre

Although it worked yesterday, today neither the right-to-left swipe gesture nor the "pull up the shortcut icons while I'm in another card/app" swipe gesture works. There's no response from the Pre to these gestures at all. I am able to throw a card off the top of the screen and to dismiss an email or txtmsg notification off the main screen, but the swipe area below the screen seems to no longer respond to touch. Is there something I can do to attempt to reset this? If not, is there somewhere I should call or take my unit to be looked at? Thanks.

Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

My Pre had a similar issue yesterday and early today, then it corrected itself. Nothing I did could fix it. My problem was the swipe feature was going "nuts" all by itself. It kept swiping on its own. Programs would minimize, the deck of cards would move, another program would open, and I could see the touchscreen light up like I was touching it (fingerprint). However, when I would used the touchscreen, It would react as though I was touching a different part of the screen (I touch the right side but an app on the left side of screen would open). It was like the screen needed to be re-calibrated. Also, I could not "throw" cards away (close apps). When I tried the up/down motion, it was interpreted as left to right, so the deck of cards simply moved left to right. I completely turned off the phone (which was a chore since the touchscreen was INOP). The reset did nothing. This morning I tried playing with it again and it was still acting up (but on a lesser scale). I was able to work my way to the reset options page and was going to do a full reset, then I noticed everything started working as it should. Not sure what fixed the problem. I've got my fingers crossed this was just a one-time event!

After I reset my Ipod (deleted all data and settings) windows 7 doesn't recognize by ipod touch, and it doesn't appear in the itunes library or in the device menu, but it does charge. How can I get my computer to recognize it again?

HT4085 How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and side button on screen don't work? My cats do these things and the game disappears.

How do I lock my ipad screen so the swipe action and the side button on the screen do not work? When my cats play a game on my ipad, they regularly swipe the screen and push the side button and the game disappears.

The button on the top that you use to lock and unlock or put to sleep is the power button. The button lower center of the screen is the home button...can be used to also wake from sleep and switch to the base home screen.
Good to hear you are now able to lock rotation, even if you are not sure how you did it
If you go to the iBook icon, tap Store in the uppper left side of the screen, you can search for the iPad User Guide...a free download that will place the guide in your iBooks library as a great source of background information.

My ipod touch 4th Gen doesn't show me the music and videos

My ipod touch 4th Gen doesn't show me the music and videos I have, even though I can see it all in the I tunes and I can see that the ipod memory is full as it was... What to do???
Thx

Not compatible.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB

Is there any way to reverse the "swipe to switch between fullscreen apps" controls?

I feel like the "swipe left to go to the app to the left" is actually counter-intuitive, especially when they were thinking about a touchscreen when designing this OS. The scrolling, though most people aren't used to it on a computer, makes sense because you move the page in the direction as if you were moving a physical page. The switching between fullscreen apps is the opposite and isn't natural for me, especially since I have been using an iPhone and iPad for a couple years now. Is there any way of reversing this control? If not, I think they should do the same thing that they did with the "natural" scrolling and have a checkbox to give you the option of either way.

I didn't see anything in the trackpad preferences as far as direction of the swipe. If anyone else can find it, I would love to be able to reverse it.

I just got an iPod touch, it was fine with battery life before I added Apps but now the battery doesn't last more than a night, what should I do?

I just got an ipod touch from my sister yesterday which she has had since October. The battery life went for days with her but as soon as I started checking my email and adding apps the battery doesn't last more than a couple of hours. I deleted some apps but no change. I also kept my email logged in and my notifications turned on so I'm wondering if they are part of the problem. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you so much.

Yes, notifications are part of the problem. For more information look at at the previous posts on this problem. Yu can find some of those on the right hand side of this page under the heading: More Like This. I keep mine in airplane mode when asleep.

How do you fix the swipe function on ipad2 that is not working?

The swipe function on my iPad2 is not working and the apps require a double-click to open (some do not open). When I go to settings, the passcode entry boxes are grayed out. I have already tried a hard restart by holding down the menu button and the Hold button until the apple appears. What else can I try to get it back to working normally?
Thanks

It sounds like you have to disable VoiceOver.
Check this out -> iPad: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)

On the touch the swiper doesn't swipe.
