    First thing to check is for a "screen wedgie".
    Fold a piece of paper into a "scoop" and run it around the inside perimeter of where the frame meets the screen.  You're trying to find some grit or dirt built up underneath that is causing a "Phantom Screen Press".

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and computer does not recognize the device

    I tried resetting my ipod touch, but there is still no response. I have had it plugged into the computer for a couple of days. I don't know if it is charging or what because the screen won't turn on and the computer does not recognize the device. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes, as well as restarting my computer several times. Does anyone know what to do? I would try restoring it, but like I said my computer doesn't recognize it and itunes doesn't either. Thanks!

    I just had a similar problem and tried all of the reboot techniques with no success. I knew it had to be a connection issue inside the iPod, and grasping at straws, I sprayed a little WD-40. I dried it off and let it sit overnight. Today at lunch I plugged it in to my wall charger and it began charging.
    ***FYI I know they don't recommend spraying WD-40 on your iPod, but it was a last resort for me. I was at the point of paying to send it in for repairs or throwing it away. I wouldn't try this unless you are ready to throw yours away too.

    Hey Stan1958,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPod nano and iTunes. Based on your symptoms, you may find the following resources helpful in resolving this issue:
    Windows
    iPod appears in Windows but not in iTunes
    iPod not recognized in 'My Computer' and in iTunes for Windows
    iTunes reports that "iTunes cannot recognize this iPod at this time"
    Thanks,

    Have you already confirmed that you trust the computer?
    Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to the computer.
    When prompted, confirm that you trust the computer.

  • I could originally sync my iPad 3 to Mac pro but now it does not recognize the device.  It does on my MacBook however.

    I could originally sync my iPad 3 on my Mac pro via iTunes.  Now the computer does not recognize the device and shows as "not charging" on the device screen.   It does still charge with the cord and will sync with my Mac book.  I have current iTunes software installed and running 10.6.8.  Any help would be appriciated.

    Nope. iPads can only be synced with one iTunes library, and all content on the iPad would be erased if you tried to sync it with a different one.

  • Trying to "Edge" up, and it tells me "This device does not match the device ID on your original Edge Agreement."

    I'm on the Edge program with the iPhone 5s, and my original contract states that after half of the phone is paid off I can "edge" up. It's half paid off, but when I try to upgrade (to iPhone 6+), I get this message: "This device does not match the device ID on your original Edge Agreement.Please activate the original device". This is the original device. I've never had a replacement, and I originally purchased this phone (the 5s) and a verizon corporate store. Help?

        Kphilbrick9,
    That's very strange to hear! I've seen similar error messages in the past when a device was replaced or swapped out for some reason. Has your iPhone 5s been replaced or swapped since you originally got it via an Edge Agreement?

  • So I decided to try and 'Edge up' since I was practically at the mark. Seemed to go fine until I select my new device, then I get 'This device does not match the device ID on your original Edge Agreement.'. Odd because I've never switched phones, and i'm

    So only a few bucks left for the edge upgrade, decided to edge up since it gave me the option to do so, I figure why not?
    Process seems to go fine until i'm in the checkout for a new device.
    Tosses 'This device does not match the device ID on your original Edge Agreement. ' at me, but it's really strange because I'm using the phone I got direct from Verizon, haven't switched phones or anything.
    Has anyone had this issue before?

    Toxicle,
    I can understand how something like this can be concerning. Let's work to get to the bottom of this for you. What kind of phone were you Edging up from? Has the phone ever been replaced or removed temporarily? Just want to make sure we are getting all the facts to help with this issue.

  • HT201210 I downloaded the latest update to itunes.  I am now getting a message that my ipod is on recovery mode and needs to be restored.  When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize the device.

    I downloaded the latest version of itunes.  I am now getting the message that my ipod is in recovery and needs to be restored.  When I click to restore, it says it does not recognize this device.  Now my ipod is frozen with an image of a cord and an arrow pointing toward the itunes icon.  All was working fine before the download!

    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.
