The top row of my ipod screen is unresponsive 95% of the time.

It's just the top row, I can't even "slide" to turn the power off. Any one else have this problem? Ideas on what to do to fix this?

  • I have a clicking noise at the top left on my ipod screen

    i have an ipod touch 5th generation (ios 7.0.3) it is 32 gb and it is still in warranty i have a clicking noise in the top left of my screen does that matter. it has been in its case for a long time and hasnt been scratched or damaged.thx for awnsering my question.

    Rattling
    On the 5G iPod and iPhone 5 the rear camera lens moves to focus and is lightly suspended so it can move. The noise you hear may be the lens moving. It is normal and expected.
    If concerned, Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I am having trouble moving any icons in the top row on my iPad.

    I know how to move icons from screen to screen, or within the same screen.  But when I move icons that are in the top row of any given screen, I can not move them very far without them jumping back to their location.  It's as if the iPad loses connection between my finger and the glass and it sends the icon to its original spot.  The only way to get the icon to move is if I drag it to a lower row of icons super slow, and then I am free to move it as I normally would.  But sometimes that doesn't even work.  I feel like it is a glitch on that specific part of my iPad because when I turn it upside down, I don't have this issue.  I was just wondering if anyone has seen this happen before.  There isn't any issue as far as I can see with using the touch feature on that part of the iPad with any other apps, just when I try to move the top row of icons.
    Thanks in advance for any help or thoughts.

    I have never experienced that or read about it either but before you resort to restoring - and that may be what you have to end up doing - try the basics first.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
    Sometimes just restarting the iPad can really help. The resolution may end up being more complicated, but try the simple things and then move on.

  • Does anyone know what to do if there is a black bar at the bottom of your ipod touch screen?  It is like the whole screen is shifted upwards and I cant access my top row apps.

    For some reason, there is a 1 inch thick black bar that appeared at the bottom of my screen.  It shifted my whole screen upwards and now I cant access my top row apps.  The ipod still works fine, but I cant figure out how to get it back to normal.  Any ideas?

    Try the sstandard fixes:
    - Reset. 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to fctory defaults/new IPod.
    If y still have the problem then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • The top row of the keyboard of my iPhone 4S, in the password screen, is not responding to my fingers. How do I fix this?

    iPhone 4S
    IOS 7.1.2
    This problem occurred after a whole days use of the iPhone without any hitches. I first discovered the problem by unlocking the phone and then swiping to the password screen to find that the top row was not responding to my fingers at all. Because of this I could not type in my password to unlock my phone. I then tried to restore my phone but could not because it needed the phone to be unlocked. I then tried holding down the home and sleep button at the same time until it turned off and on again, but this did not fix the problem. I also tried switching on the Voice Over mode on and trying to unlock the phone through that but of course it didn't work. I have also left it overnight but I was still unable to unlock the phone the next day. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

    *UPDATE*
    I have been able to use the Zoom function to zoom in and the keys on the top row no longer are in the non-responsive strip of area.

  • When searching for something on amazon or ebay the top row always goes to the far right of the screen.

    So when i look up something like "shoes" in the amazon search box the top row of items moves over to the far right. And most are no longer even on my screen
    I checked on I.E. and i had no issues with this so i assume its a firefox issue.

    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''

    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.

    whenever i connect my ipod touch 3rd gen to itunes itunes responds really slowly and when i try and sync it it says sync in progress on my ipod screen but then is stuck with "verifying "matts ipod" at the top of itunes and stays like that for ages.. help

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.

  • My iPod Touch 3rd Gen is having problems with the touch screen being unresponsive, too responsive, freezing and constantly resizing. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

    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

    I plugged my ipod into my computer to load up new tunes and it froaze on the time I dad connected it with the message 'do not disconnect' on the screen. Despite disconnecting and reconnecting it and ensuring it was charged up it will not operate. The 'lock' symbol is showing at the top of the screen even when I have moved the lock switch. I have been using my ipod for several years with no similar fault. What is the problem/solution?

    I would first try resetting the iPod:
    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.
    Next would be to restore the iPod from backup

  • The top row of my keyboard (brightness and volume etc.) does not work

    The top row of my keyboard is not working.

    Is the problem with the on-screen keyboard or an external bluetooth connected keyboard?
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working.

    The top row of my iPhone 3GS keyboard has stopped working. I've already done a soft reset, hard reset, and restored it to a new device. What else can I do?

    When you are using other applications, or just on the home screen, does that area of the screen respond to touch?
    Steps to resolve issue (I understand you have done what you have but it's always good to try again):
    Clean the iPhone screen with the cleaning cloth that came in the box with the iPhone.
    Do not wear gloves while using the touchscreen. Do not use the touchscreen with wet hands or immediately after applying hand lotion. Moisture affects touchscreen behavior in the same manner as it affects a trackpad.
    If you have a protective plastic sheet or film on the touchscreen, try removing it because it may be preventing the touchscreen from working properly.
    The current application may not be responding (frozen), press and hold the Home button below the screen for a least six seconds, until the application you were using quits.
    If that doesn't work, turn the iPhone off and turn it on again. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of the iPhone for few seconds until a red slider appears, and then slide the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPhone. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation and replacement, if necessary, even if your iPhone is out of warranty. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the iPhone Service FAQ.
    Tip: If you are going to take your iPhone into a Apple Retail Store for evaluation, follow these steps to help the Mac Genius understand where your touch screen is experiencing unresponsiveness.
    Open the basic calculator application to test all but the top row of the screen. Press each button on the calculator and verify activity.
    To test the area at the top of the screen, rotate the iPhone to change to the scientific calculator and press all the buttons in the left two rows. (An original iPhone must have iPhone 2.0 software installed to access the scientific calculator feature.)
    To test the touchscreen function at the top of the screen of an original iPhone without the iPhone 2.0 software, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. If the slider does slide, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears to turn iPhone on again.
