Portion of screen doesn't respond to touch

I got my iPod Touch a few months ago and just today I found that about the top inch (almost half) of the screen doesn't respond to touch.
I can't access 'calendar, notes, etc...', nor can i scroll through my songs from the top half or hit the 'back' button.
I tried restarting it, but that didn't work. I don't know if I want to try restoring it because I don't have a backup of all my songs on my computer, and I searched on the internet, and the only PC to iPod program compatible with the iPod Touch is $20.
I purchased the iPod Touch from Amazon.com, so I'm not sure if I will be able to bring it to the Apple Store.
I am not sure what I should do. :/
Any help is very much appreciated!

Go to that website. that's where you can check if the ipod is covered under apple's limited year warrenty. Just type in the your Serial Number and the country where you live and it'll will tell you if it's still covered under the warrenty. And if it is, you can go to the apple store and complain about the problem. They might even give you a new one. hope that helped.

  • My Iphone 5 touch screen doesn't respond to touch

    Although I can hard reset, my iPhone 5 suddenly stopped responding to touch. Calls come in and texts, but I can't answer or open the phone since the screen doesn't respond to any touch. I am unable to get to AT&T or Apple right now. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

  • 1/3 screen doesn't respond to touch.

    After a waiting 2 months to get the tablet fixed in the US (and 40£ spend on postage) the battery on my touchpad was fixed.
    Was very happy to see it rendering something again until I've noticed that 1/3 of the screen doesn't work when I touch it.
    And it's consistent. If I move it around to portrait and landscapte modes the same area doesn't work.
    The device fisically doesn't look damaged. And the image looks ok even on the area that doesn't respond to touch.
    I don't think this is a software issue but I don't want to send it back to the states and spend another 40£ and two months to get it fixed without trying other options.
    Can anyone help me to try out some other things?
    Thanks.

    Run the touch sensor test to test all the cells on the touchscreen.
    It it fails the test, it will need to be repaired.

    - 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 another cable                                                       
    - 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 think you have an Accessibility feature turned on. Triple click the Home button and then try to go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn all Accessibility features off. To scroll you may have to use three fingers. If proem see:

    In your first post you mention you have done a reset and a restore. Those are the last two processes in the user troubleshooting. If those do not work, then the last thing is to go to the Genius Bar. You say you went to Apple and they opened the phone and re-seated the connectors? That sounds unusual, because if there was a hardware issue,they would replace the hardware. You say you cannot get a replacement, is that because you are out of warranty? An out of warranty replacement is only $199 plus tax. It seems to me since you mention the fact you need to press hard to get the screen to react there is something going on with the hardware. If this problem has been going on for over a year, have you been reporting this to Apple. You say you cannot get a replacement and you are on the second phone, I wonder why they are denying you a replacement. Is there something you are not telling us??

  • My iphone 5 screen does not respond to touch at all

    I don't know what has happened to my phone.  The screen does not allow me to even swipe to unlock it.  It has lines all the way up the screen of different colours.  There is no cracks in the screen or anything like that and I dont recall dropping the phone.  The only buttons that work are the home button and the on/off switch.  I have tried to reset it but that doesnt work. Any ideas what could have happened and what I can do?

    Did you drop the iPad?
    Yes, a wireless keyboard will work with the iPad, but you'll need the iPad to work so you can set it up.
    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

  • IPhone 4 screen will not respond to touch.

    I tried rebooting it by holding down the power and home button it reboots but  Still no response to touch. I can't synch with macbook because it asks for password i can't type because screen doesn't work. what do i do to get device working again?

    my fingers do not affect the screen period.   it asks me to swipe the screen to open, which i can't do. when i restart the phone by holding the home button and power button, it turns on and asks for my passcode which i can not enter.
    i can not access settings.
    when i plug it into the macbook pro the laptop tells me it can not access the phone unless i unlock the phone with the passcode, which i can't do because the phone screen will not respond to touch.
    how do i restore the phone using my computer? i can't get it to do anything. i tried plugging it into the laptop while off, and then turned it on, no luck. i held the home button while plugging into the laptop, no luck. updated itunes everything.

  • After upgrade to Win 10 ENVY TouchSmart 15-j001tx Notebook PC display doesn't respond to touch

    I just upgraded to Windows 10 from 8.1 and after I did, my touch screen doesn't respond or work.  I basically have a non-touch display... ugh I've searched this forum and the hp support for possible drivers but don't see anything.  I've even tried the Win 10 Drivers Update process with no success. Any suggestions?

    Hi ,
    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! A great place where you can find solutions for your issues with help from the community!
    I came across your post about the Notebook, and wanted to assist you! I have looked into your issue about your HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j001tx Notebook and the Touch display doesn't respond to touch after a Windows 10 update. If your computer is having problems finding and installing operating system updates, try using the Windows Update Troubleshooting tool to fix the problem. Here is a document that shows how to update drivers that are not working correctly with Windows 10. Here is a link to your driver page. I would try the section on Driver -Chipsets. Intel Management Engine Interface Driver should help. Restart the Notebook after the install. I hope something here helps you. Thanks.

  • Screen doesn't respond

    The screen doesn't respond. I can't slide the bar to unlock it. I can't slide to power off. I've rebooted but the problem persists.
    Any suggestions?

    I had somewhat of the same problem with my screen frezzing up on me where i was not allowed to do anything. all i did was leave the phone on until the battery drains out then reconnect the phone to ac outlet to recharge the battery. about 2 hours into the recharge i held both the sleep button and the home button at the same time for about 10 seconds and the phone reset it self and i did not lose any of my settings or data, hope this helps you.

  • IPhone 6 screen doesn't respond 80% of the time

    iPhone 6 screen doesn't respond 80% of the time.  And then it will get a mind of it's own and dial people on my favorites and open apps randomly.

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches.
    If this does not help, setting it up as new device would be the next thing to try:
