Replacing iPod touch screen.

Ive been trying to fix my iPod touch 4g screen but I'm having some trouble.if I take the iPod touch and screen to apple will they fix it even if the screens not from apple?? Please help.... Thanks

Apple will not touch it if ALL the parts are not original Apple one's. You can try a local phone repair shop they might be able to do it for you. But if you are still within the Apple warranty, I would suggest you ditch the replacement screen you bought and pay for a replacement iPod from Apple.

    I'm bustin' your chops.  Some call it humor, some don't have a sense for it....
    The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done.  However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
    The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
    My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two.  Guess I was wrong....  But at least now I know why you have a picture of a box of rocks for your avatar....

  • My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

    so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

  • Malfunctioning replacement iPod Touch 5 from Apple.

    I'm hoping I can get some advice. My 32 GB iPod Touch 5 that I had was having problems running apps (more than normal), so I went to The Apple Store at a mall. The person at the Genius Bar was able to replace it, and assured me it was a new, working device. So I had that set up, received my replacement iPod Touch 5, and was on my way home. I bought a screen protector, had it applied, and tried setting up my "new" iPod Touch 5. I went to the search tab in the App Store, and wasn't able to view all the apps that I searched for, due to the reason that for some odd reason, according to Apple, my device was malfunctioning. I did the reset, restore, etc. and nothing fixed it. I've had this replacement for 2 days now, and I'm in warranty. But that doesn't change the fact that now I would have to wait 1 week or so, to have a working device. My problem:
    1. The Apple Store in the mall is an hour away, and I don't drive. Nor can I get a ride from a friend/family member.
    2. If I sent it in, I don't believe they would replace my screen protector I JUST had applied yesterday. (I didn't test out the device, because I was under the impression from the Apple "Genius" that it worked perfectly.)
    Either way, either of these options will cost more than I should have to pay, (Gas=$$$ and sending in=-$20.)
    I don't think it would be too much to ask for some kind of compensation out of this deal, when I got back a product faulty from the beginning, but I'm not sure. What should I do?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Be nice but firm. Ask for some compensation but do not go overboard.

  • Can you get your cracked iPod Touch screen repaired if you colored the top of it with highlighters? If you can't, how do I remove the highlighter?

    I cracked my iPod Touch screen at the top where the front camera is and colored the cracks in with highlighter. I want to know if I can still get it repaired even if its colored in? If I can't, how do I remove the highlighter?

    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    My iPod touch screen cracked a few months ago and has worked fine ever since, but now part of my screen has been cut off (the left side is blurred out). Now my screen won't respond to anyone's touch and can no longer be used. What's the cost to get it fixed and how long will it take to fix it and get it back to me?

  • How can I make the best of my ipod touch screen with no internet connection??

    I've been offered an ipod touch screen last Christmas and it's only a week ago that I took it out of its box. I still can't figure out how to transfer my music library from my laptop to the ipod. But I've installed some apps thinking I would be able to listen to my favourite radio station and play some games wherever I go and to my disappointment nothing's working if not connected to an internet connection. I thought an ipod was an improved walkman and actually it is nothing but a device that should be connected to the internet to work.
    Considering that I don't have a free internet connection to the internet on my mobile phone, I was just wondering wht's the purpose to have an ipod? I really consider to go back to my old walkman... Thank you for your comments to help me to make the best of my Christmas present.

    The message you are getting is saying that the iPod was previous synced to another computer. You can only sync with one computer. If you sync to another computer then the iPod media from the iPod get erased (as the message says) and is replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
    Syncing means copying (syncing) media from your iTunes library to your computer)
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    For not showing in iTunes:
    - Try entering the screen lock passcode on your iPod if not done already
    - Go to Windows Device Manager and see if there is any problems/unknown devices
    - Can you not import photos from a digital camera? The iPod appears in My Computer like a camera does.

  • Replacement iPod Touch 8GB (2nd Gen) beggining to fall apart after two months!

    Well my problem is plain and simple
    My first iPod touch (8GB 2nd Gen) was working perfectly fine until one day it slipped from my hands and the screen shattered. I took the iPod in to Best Buy and they overlooked the serial number and looked up my plan (product replacement plan) and they took it in and sent it out. They promised me a refurbished or a new iPod touch. They said it should take only about 5 days but it took two weeks, but in all fairness it was around a busy holiday seasons so i can understand the holdup. My Apple warranty was already up when i took the first iPod in for a replacement so i just used my product replacement plan. 2 weeks later i recieved my refurbished iPod in the mail, how could i tell it was refurbished, well for one the back of the iPod was void of any scratches but there was no Apple or "iPod" branding?! They also did not include the headphones used with current and past models, they shipped headphones that were changed years ago to a new design, i tested the headphones, and they were broken. I just said oh well and when i went to plug it in with the "new" cord they included i noticed there were stains all over it and i had to disinfect them (..yuck!) it made me certainly rethink even using the headphones in the first place. One thing that seemed odd to me was that it included OS 3.0 since 2nd gen iPods only ship with OS 2.2.1 and after checking the settings i confirmed it was in fact a sencond generation iPod Touch. After about a week of use i plugged in my headphones and i could only hear through one side, i unplugged them and replugged them and the problem was resolved and i thought it was a fluke, so i just disregarded it but its been a month now and since last week no matter what headphones i use i always get sound from the left channel. I was honestly furious that after only 1 month the ipod it starting to fall apart in front of me. I inspected the iPod closely and noticed that if held a certain way the glass on the lower right coner of the iPod begins to move around. The home button has also failed to respond quite a few times. Then when one day the external speaker started to begin to become flaky and sometimes not work at all, i just said "thats it!" im currently resetting the iPod to factory settings and putting a test sound on it for them to listen to and see the problem. In fact when i received it there was already a test sound on it so i presume there was a problem with the jack previously? I am repackiging everything and am off to geek squad tommorow, if there is any other advice to offer please let me know. Ive treated the iPod like a child after the first one shattered and the device has never been dropped, the screen and the back cover are spotless (minus the small scratches on the back chrome cover just from normal use) the iPod has never been near water and i checked the iPod to see if infact water could have gotten in the iPod and the sticker was still sparkling white, i am sorry Best Buy ive been a customer for years and while do not mean to rant and complain it has only been to months and its already falling apart?! i am sorry that is just not acceptable.

    I just got my ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb replacement ipod in the mail two days ago. And i fell that my screen has cracked way to easily. I had my other ipod touch before this one for a year and a half and the screen had never been cracked. But my first two days with this "replacement" ipod has cracked twice. i am willing to take the blame for the first crack as i dropped it in the street and my case didnt do its job, but lasnight i put my hand in my sweatpants pocked only to find small peices of glass. i took out my ipod and there was the problem. a large shatter on the bottom near the homebutton. Seriously 2 cracks in 2 days with my REPLACEMENT after 360+ days and no cracks with my forsure APPLE ipod touch? I doubt my ipod touch screen is even made by apple.

  • Any suggestions for a cracked ipod touch screen

    Any suggestions on what to do for a cracked ipod touch screen ? Replacement screen is $75.

    Apple doesn't repair it.  If there is no sign of abuse, they replace it with a refurbished unit.  The fixed-price for non-warranty replacements can be found here.

  • HELP!!! iPod Touch screen SHATTERED :O

    So by the title you have probably figured out the depressing reality I am faced with: My iPod Touch screen has finally shattered into a million pieces :'( It even had a semi-hard case on, but unfortunately for me it landed right on the weakest part of the structure - the thin piece metal between the 30-pin dock connector and the screen, and also where the case is extremely thin and flimsy. That bent into the glass, sending hairline cracks up to the top of the screen as well as shattering the glass around the home button, and as all us iOS device users should know, even gorilla glass can't handle that kind of impact. Luckily I have a screen protector on, so the glass didn't go everywhere and I can still use it without risking a trip to the hospital.
    Sadly, my iPod is more than 2 years old and I didn't get Applecare support, so my question is...what are my chances of getting it replaced or even a discount on their currently ridiculous pricing ($109 + $19.95 P&H!) if I walk into an Apple store and ask? I have heard of many success stories of people getting their devices replaced, but I realise that the fact that it has passed its 2nd birthday will go harshly against my persuasive attempts.
    Also, I live in Australia if that makes a difference. Here are some pics:

    Dang! I did some googling around, and there are 2 stores right here in Sydney that can replace your old iPod Touch screen with a brand new genuine screen for $89. Do you think it's worth it or should I just get a 5th Gen iPod for $329?
