Scratch on iPod Touch, even with screen guard and case?
I recently purchased an iPod Touch and since I got it and have used a screen protector and case for it but as my guard starting to peel off, I took it of to get a replacement and I noticed a small scratch on the top black part of the screen. It is noticable to me and is annoying an so can it be repaired or replaced?
I have look aftered it with my life, and saved up for year to buy it and so that's why I'm asking....:(
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished on for $99, $149 or $199.
A third-party place like the following maybe less expensive. Google for more.

My iPod touch 4g's screen cracked and tried to replace it by myself and it's not working and I was wondering if apple will repair it ?
Apple may or may not exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.

I dropped my ipod touch and its shattered in the corner but there are multiple cracks along the whole screen everything works perfectly but I was wondering if the Apple Store in Brent Cross, London, would be willing to swap it or change it at no expense. Does anyone know about this store from experience or.....? It looks ugly now and I hate it please help and reply, for everyone living in North London going though the same problem or maybe will do in the future.
Thankyou that information was very helpful. And I was aware that the one year limited warranty does not cover accidental damage but it turned out that specific store did take back my iPod touch and covered the cost. Due to the fact my iPod wasn't even a year old. Although if it were to happen again I would have to pay about £130 to cover the cost. Apple Customer Service is amazing and they treat the customers really well.

so i thought that i had to insert a payment methode even if i just wanted the free apps but then i heard from my friends that they didn't had to do that and they still get their apps...? please help this is really gettig me nerveous ...
You need a payment method on your Apple ID to use the store. Even if you're not planning to download any paid apps, you still need a method linked to your account.
I''m not sure when it changed, but I believe you used to be able to download free apps without a payment method. Maybe your friends Apple IDs are from those days. -
Why is my 8gb ipod touch full with only 227 songs
Why is my 8GB Ipod touch full with only 227 and nothing else. I also share my itunes with my Iphone, There is only audio on my IPod
Did you post this same question recently?
What is the detail format of the music? Music can be compressed to different degrees. The less compression the more storage each song needs.
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage
Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.

i have a white screen and i tried rebooting the ipod touch by holding the home and sleep button simoltaneously but it still jus tappears white. i also attempted to connect my ipod to itunes but my itunes wont even recognize my ipod touch 4g. What should I do now?
Just let the battery drain until the screen shuts off. When you charge it back up it should boot up normally.

If I replace my Ipod touch 4th gen screen with a local company other then Apple will the Apple warrenty be void or will the warrenty be void if I replace the screen myself?
Regardless of what Apple may or may not say about repair work done by a third party (a non-Apple company or you yourself), the Magnuson-Moss Act precludes them from voiding your warranty simply because you had work done by a third party or used non-OEM parts. Typically people hear of thie Act as it is applied to cars. Car manufacturers cannot require you go to a dealership for repairs or that you use OEM parts. They cannot void your warranty for doing that. The Act applies to all consumer goods. Computer manufacturers cannot require you send your computer to them for memory upgrades or that you use memory supplied by them. Apple cannot require you to go to Apple for repair work or that you use Apple parts in that repair.
With that said, though, if you have a problem in the future, Apple could make the claim that it was the result of damage from improper repair or substandard parts. Your only recourse would be the court system, not a quick or inexpensive endeavor. -
my iPod touch fell on tile today and was cracked and even worse now half of the screen will not work! :''''( What can I do?
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 or the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

Laggy iPod touch 4G with iOS 5.1.1?
Hello everyone first of all Excuse myself, my English is not quite good, I'm from Costa Rica.
The problem is, 3 days ago I bought an iPod touch 4G, I got home and updated it to iOS 5.1.1.
After using it a few hours I started to notice that it was really laggy, specially when I unlock it, around 5 seconds of lag. Actually this happens right after unlocking it, when I want to see my apps, changing from one screen to another is really, really slow.
But not only happens when I unlock it, also when I skip songs takes around 1s to change from one song to another when I bring the iPod controls (by pressing twice the home button when using cover flow or when the screen is locked). Actually the album cover disappears and appears back again when skip to the next song of the same album, this didn't happen with my old iPod touch.
I use Assistive touch in my iPhone and iPad, but I got to disable it in my ipod because it makes it even more laggy when using heavy apps.
The other problem I got is battery life, I changed my old iPod touch (2G) because of its battery, but this ipod was fully charged at 6:00 PM, I went to to the gym and got back home at 9:00 PM and the battery drained about 20-30% (while listening to music when I was at the gym)... is this normal?
Am I the only one having problems with iOS 5.1.1?Here is a useful website link which will help to speed up the performance of the iPod Touch

Also check out the other discussions in the Apple support community to pick up more tips and tricks to improve the performance on the iPod Touch.
