The screen on my ipod touch fell off and the cable ripped. what do i do?
one day, i was using my ipod touch. while i was on safari, the lower half of the screen stopped working. eventually, i was only able to play music thanks to the double tap settings. i was getting irritated, and i lifted the screen just to see if there was anything i could do to try to fix it.when i took it off, the little black cord thing that attatches to the screen ripped. i dont know what to do, if there is any way i could fix this, or how much it will cost to get it fixed. please help!

The screen on my Ipod touch came away from the back.
The screen on my ipod touch came away from the back and then stuck back down a couple of days later. The battery seems to be weak now but everything else is OK. What could have caused this? Over chargibg in the car cradle?, Heat? Being held too tightly in the cradle?, Getting water inside?
Has this happend to any of you.
DanIf you have successfully restored the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.
You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source. -

The screen of my Ipod touch is black and won't respond, how can I reset it?
I have an Ipod Touch 5th Gen. I still have one of the older IOS updates, but I'm not exactly sure which one. I went to go turn my Ipod on because the screen was completely black, and nothing happened. So I then plugged it in thinking it was dead. So a while later I tried to turn it on again and still nothing. Is there anyway I can reset it to get back into it? Please help!!

The screen on my ipod touch is frozen with the iTunes symbol and the connection cord. I don't know how to get past this. Has been like this for over a week. Need help PLEASE.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -

The screen on my ipod touch is stuck zoomed in. I don't know how it happened I just looked down and it was like that.

My iPod Touch fell hard on the ground!
HELP! (T_T)
My iPod Touch fell flat and hard on its face on cement ground, then the screen turned white and the touch screen stopped working!
I set it aside for a couple of hours and when i looked at it again, it's completely dead.
no matter how many times i press the sleep/wake button or the home button, it won't turn on. i tried Troubleshooting it by pressing both buttons at the same time, to no avail. i tried to connect it to my iTunes but it doesn't detect the iPod anymore.
i bought this iPod in Japan but now i'm in Davao, Philippines. will it also be possible for me to fix my iPod without having to take it all the way to Japan?
any help for me please? i will die without my iPod. it's one of my indispensable tools in life and i will risk anything for it. Please help. (x_x)
Thanks a lot.check macfixit.com for possible solutions. if no joy, get a new Touch and be more careful.

My iPod touch has frozen and the back feels very hot. I can't get the apple sign up probably because it's hot. This is the second time this has happened in as many weeks. Anyone have any ideas on what to do. The screen is grey btw.
