THE IPOD TOUCH SCREEN SEEMS TO BE LOOSE
I HAVE AN IPOD TOUCH 8GB (THIRD GEN.).WHEN I PRESS THE SCREEN THE GLASS MOVES DOWN ( ONLY SLIGHTLY THOUGH ) , IS THIS AN MANUFACTURING PROBLEM OR IT`S OKAY ? REPLY PLZ

If the glass is moving in any way then it is NOT normal. When you did you buy your iPod touch? If you bought this within the past 12 months then please take it to the nearest Apple Store and have them evaluate/repair the defect.

My iPod touch heaphone jack broke for what must have been the 12th time for no reason, so I decided I was going to try and permanetly fix it. I saw a post on here saying that if you remove the screen and then make sure some wires are connexted properly, that you can fix it long term instead of having to hold the headphone cable in a strange position. So I remove the screen (which I have done before to replace the touch screen) and it pretty much all falls apart in my hands, the home button, the rubber sealing the outside of the screen and the actual screen all come apart, along with many small pieces of plastic. Now my iPod is no more that a paperweight with a useless LCD screen on it. Even if I did get a new screen, the headphone jack would still be unusuable and there would be no point.
I guess 4g is more complicated than 2g/3g. In 2g/3g it was way easier cause there are videos on youtube that anyone can do. Was your headjack stuck in the porthole? That is what happened to my sister's iPod. but my dad somehow got it out.

Blue botch on the iPod touch screen
After updating to iOS6, these is a blue botch on the screen, which is growing. Any solutions?
Try doing a DFU (Device Firmware Updae) restore. Instructions for DFU restore: http://appletoolbox.com/2010/07/using-dfu-restore-to-solve-iphone-problems/
If that doesn't work, you have a hardware issue and you need to set up a Genius Bar appointment at your local Apple Store. -
i am looking to buy an ipod touch 4g, but i'm not sure to whether to, because the screen might be too small to read emails and the web-- can I just stream everything thats on the ipod touch screen to the airplay enabled tv, or is it just videos and music? thanks

Having finally managed to update itunes to the current version in order to sort the lock screen of itunes ;logo and usb lead, i find that i dont have on the left side of itunes lists, the DEVICES heading for me to click on in order to back up/restore etc..... How do i access this..? I seem to be going around in circles and getting nowhere fast.
Is there any logical reason why the "devices" catogory wouldnt be showing..? or is there any way i can proceed manually without access to this...? HELP..... PLEASE.. THANKS...... -
Does the ipod touch 4th gen's screen have IPS like the iphone 4's?
So I heard somewhere that the ipod touch 4g's screen does NOT have IPS.
For those who don't know what IPS is, this is apples description of it:
"The iPhone 4 Retina display uses technology called IPS (in-plane switching) — the same technology used in the Apple LED Cinema Display and iPad — to achieve a wider viewing angle than on typical LCDs. Which means you can hold iPhone 4 almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture. That’s perfect when you’re sharing photos with a friend or moving your iPhone around while playing a driving or flying game. In addition, the Retina display offers four times the contrast ratio of previous models, so whites are brighter, blacks are darker, and everything is more beautiful."
Is this true? Because I also heard that the two main things people wanted from the ipod touch were the camera and the retina display. And those are the only two things that seemed to get cheaply upgraded. Does anybody know if the ipod touch 4g has IPS?No need to double post! It has been said by Engadget that it is TN, but Apple has not to my knowledge released the specs. Only difference between TN and IPS is the viewing angle. A few hands on reviews that I seen said there was no distinguishable differences between their iPhone 4's and the iPod Touch 4 with the exception of the viewing angle.
I am amazed at how people will latch on to this stuff and make an issue about it, yet have never actually seen the freaking thing! LOL Just like no one has seen photos taking with the camera.
The iPod Touch 4 IS what it IS, folks will either buy it or not. I am booking that a lot that say they aren't going to buy it do anyway and of course this thing is going to be a big seller regardless of all these supposed poor upgrades. -
My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness setting all the way up. how do I get it back to normal?
My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness is completely up and can barely see it. Started all of a sudden.
I am experiencing the same problem. There are lots of discussion threads on this topic. Several people have had short term luck restoring their touch or wiping it clean and starting as a new ipod again. Not a great option, but better that losing the darn thing completely. What has worked for me several times is to power the unit down and leave it for a day or two then it seems to work again. It seems clear to me that this is not a hardware issue, as when it first powers up the screen is fine and sometimes it lasts and other times only for 5 seonds. Also since resetting the software address it, there is no problem with the hardware. SO where is tech support in addressing this. My gen 2 ipod no loger has any sofware updates, thanks apple!
Anybody found a long term fix for this??????? -
I have an ipod touch 3rd generation and the whole touch screen is not working.
I have a 32gb ipod which I bought for fifty dollars and when i bought it had a pretty baddly cracked screen but thing is it worked fine. Every part of the screen worked fine; it was as senstive where the screen was cracked as the areas of the screen that were not cracked. I dropped it a couple times from like two or three feet on two a hard wood floor about four times all it did was make the cracks on the screen a little worse. Then one day I dropped it from about a foot and now the whole touch screen is not working does anyone know why this is. They told me at the ipod store to get a new one would be 130 to trade mine in. But the thing is I very mechanically inclined and I am very good with electrionics; I was planing on buying the glass for fifty bucks and putting it on myself because I read how to do it and I am more then capapble of doing it. But now since the touch screen is now working; do I need a new screen along with a new glass? See the thing is because I think both those part cost 120 together. Which would not be worth me doing that when I can go to the ipod store and they would trade me a new one for 130 bucks. But the issue is, they told me at the ipod store they would have to look and see how damaged the ipod is to see if they will exchange it. My screen is severly cracked; also I have a dent that is a half inch long and 1/8th inch deep in the back of my ipod and its very scracthed up; do you thing an ipod store would exchange it in the condition it is in. Also has anybody had this problem before and I was wondering if it would be possible for me to take it apart and fix it my self without buying any new parts.
If I were you, I would pay the $130 for a replacement. Then you can be sure that it has all the working parts it needs.

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.

When the Ipod touch 4th Gen first came out, I got this ipod. About 6 months later, it fell out of my pocket and the top of the screen broke to the point where I can see the camera. The ipod worked perfectly fine for a long time untill about 8 months later when I started having issues with the Ipod. I still was able to unlock and use it but it was hard to unlock. It worked fine when it opened but unlocking it for some reason difficult. Now, I cannot unlock it at all and I am only able to press the play button for music (double-tap home) and press cancle (in the dead center) for a soft reset. Im trying to figure out whats goin on and as of now i have no clue. I have tried resetting it and am in the process of restoring it completely. Is there any possible way that this is just a glitch that can be fixed or is it done for good because somethings broken? I'ld like to know before I really put more time into this.
Becaise the digitizer is broken in that area

My iPod touch screen says it is disabled. Connect to iTunes. When I connect the device to the computer a window pops up and said that the iPod is locked and I need to enter the passcode on the iPod..... I can't get it to do anything. Any ideas?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
