Screen on my ipod touch is flickering. won't respond to resetting. any suggestions?

My daughter was playing on her ipod touch 4th gen. and all of a sudden the screen has lines across it and is flickering. Tried turning it off and wouldn't respond so I then tried holding down the power button and menu button for 10 sec. and still nothing. Do you have any advice. Its only less than 2 weeks old bought brand new.

since it's brand new,  I would take it back to the store and have them replace it so you do not have this problem down the road. If that is not an option, let it die or just give it some time. Sometimes they just freak out so try again later. Hope this helped!!!

    I purchased an audio book from iTunes store. It successfully downloaded to my iTunes library< but will not upload to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions? Any and all are greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

    I have tried to clear temp folder, uninstalled, and reinstalled itunes version 10.5.1.42... ipod touch 4th gen is seen fine. But when I eject this and plug in my old shuffle... itunes still reports it as ipod touch.

    The only suggestion I have is to try and rename your device in iTunes to something else by clicking it's current name from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and typing in a new one.

    - 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

  • My ipod touch 4th gen. won't charge or reset or come one at all.

    Please help.  I have a ipod touch 4th gen.  Yesterday it died, battery ran down, and i've not been able to get it to do anything.  The screen shows the battery with red, but it's really faint.  I've tried to reset/restart it several times, but it still does nothing.  I plugged it up to the computer, hoping to reset it via itunes... nothing.  I left it plugged up to the computer for several hours hoping it would charge....nothing.  Tried the docking station to charge it, nope. 
    The battery has run down before and i've been able to charge it with no problem.  I don't know what's different this time.  Is there a way to do a factory reset or something like that to just completely reset the whole thing?

  • The screen on my ipod touch 3rd generation will not respond to touch, it will not work at all.

    My ipod touch 3rd generation fell off of a chair, it worked ok fow a while then the bottom half of the screen would not work, now the entire screen is not working
    I'm not sure what to do.

    You can try the following to rule out a software probem:
    - 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 from backup
    - Restore to  factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem they yu very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue.

  • How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch?

    How do I repair the white screen on my ipod touch. I have tried to hard reset the ipod, however every time I press the top button to lock the screen, it goes to a white screen.

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

    My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
