Screen is unresponsive?
My ipod touch will come on to the slider screen but it seems like it won't register my finger on any screen. I've tried restoring it, but no luck. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
There have been quite few posts reporting this same problem. If you have successfully restored it and the problem persists, then you've ruled out a software error, leaving only a hardware fault. So it seems your only option now is to return it for a replacement at the store you bought it from. It will be covered under the warranty.
Sorry not to be of more help.

my ipod 3rd gen. touch screen is unresponsive, cant slide to unlock or enter passcode to access ipod. What is the cause? how do i fix this?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

My iPod Touch (3rd Gen) is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. It varies between not responding when I tap the screen and acting as if I double-tap or tap and hold when I tap. Every so often it freezes for a minute or so and then comes back. The scren is constantly changing sizes too such that I often can't see most of the top status bar or other edges. This makes typing almost impossible, ruins most games and generally makes everything difficult, but otherwise the iPod is working correctly. Powering off, shutting down apps, letting it sit have not worked. This has happened once before months ago, but the issue resolved itself somehow. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?
Try this for the freezing

Or if they don't work put it into recovery mode

Then restore

IPhone 6 plus screen becomes unresponsive!!!
I bought my IPhone 6 plus when released. I received it by mail on October 17. now the phone was perfect,it worked the way it should and the screen was perfect also. The only problem i had with it was that whenever i would close an app through the multitask menu my screen would flash blue but i would disregard it. 2 months go by and everything is perfect. it wasn't until late December when i began to have an issue with the phone. My screen would become unresponsive to touch and when it did respond it will be completely way off from where i touched it. i will also get this gray bar at the top of my screen when it happens. this happens almost all the time throughout the day. its getting to the point to where my phone is almost unusable. I haven't dropped my phone and it hasn't came into contact with water either. I have done a factory reset and set my phone up as new and it didn't work either. I just want to know if i am the only one having this issue or are there other people with this problem.

Updated ios 7.1.1 now screen is unresponsive
I updated to the ios 7.1.1 on my iphone 5 this morning and now the screen is unresponsive. Is anyone else having this problem? Everything was working fine until this morning when the update finished. Did a reset with no luck. I took it to the carrier store that I bought it from and they said take it to Apple store (180 miles away) HA.
ThanksTry This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
If no joy...
Reset all settings
Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings.
This will return all iDevice settings to factory defaults... you will not lose any data.... But you will have to re-enter all of the device settings.
If the issue persists...
1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

Ad pages open on their own and screen is unresponsive.
I have even erased my iPad and started over. At times the screen is unresponsive. Other times, the iPad starts typing on its own, pages flash open and closed. Even pages I've never opened, to my knowledge, start popping up.
Hardware issues?If you erased and restored the iPad, then I would assume that it is a hardware issue. Make an appointment at an. Apple Store and ask them to take a look at your iPad.

Touch screen becoming unresponsive
I have a week 38 iPod Touch and the touch screen started to become unresponsive around the time of the 1.1.1 update (not saying it is related). I owned the iPod for approximately 30 days before the screen started having issues.
I have a difficult time operating the unlock slider and the volume control. It is irritating (to say the least) to not be able to adjust the volume of the iPod during music or video playback or unlock the iPod from sleep mode.
Additionally, other sections of the screen become unresponsive. It does not matter if I am in landscape or portrait mode (video or music modes). The slider will still not track my finger. This leads me to believe it is possibly a software glitch although that doesn't rule out things like overheating which could be causing the issue to occur.
I purchased my iPod at Best Buy. Anyone know if you can return one from that store to an Apple store under the 1 year warranty?
I surely hope Apple helps me out since this is an obvious usability issue.Well, I've tried 2 different brands now (nillkin & ultimate shield) and both had the same issues. I'm reluctant to throw any more money at screen protectors as clearly something is not quite right.
I've been a fan of ultimate shield protectors up to now as I've had them on my previous 2 phones without issue.
Anybody had similar issues and found a brand that works properly?
Thanks & merry Christmas -
I've had my ipod for about a week and off and on throughout the day the touch screen is unresponsive. I've restarted it several times and it does no good. Help!
Just the standard fixes:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Happened after iOS 7.0.2 update a few times (2x this morning): Freeze on lock screen, "blackout:" unresponsive to any buttons pressing, after 3-5 minutes the phone restarts itself and works again... (1) May I ask what can I do? I am trying to reset it and recovering the data from backup. (2) Can a virus cause this problem?
To rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
If it does not charge normally after that, you'll have to get it serviced, the problem might be hardware related.

Part of my iPad screen is unresponsive!
Part of my iPad screen is unresponsive, whenever I am sliding an object across the screen and I get to that bit, it's acts as if I have lifted my finger off? Help its brand new
Have you tried rebooting, resetting all settings or restoring the iPad? It could very well be a problem with the screen that no software solution can solve, but give those a try.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.

My iPod touch 2rd generation has a weirdly unresponsive touchscreen. I didn't do anything to it and it seems that the entire middle section of the heat sensor screen is unresponsive. I tried to restore and reinstall and everything but that just didn't work. One reason being that whenever I try restoring it from iTunes, my computer freezes. I've also tried reinstalling iTunes and it always seemed to have the same problem. I managed to restore it manually using the "Erase All Content and Settings" from the Setting's App. And now I've loaded on back my apps and music. Since I haven't done anything it comes up with the edit home screen dismiss part and I'm stuck on that. Any help?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
