The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch.  How do I get it to begin working?  It just stopped today.
Does anyone know what I can do?  I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing.  The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- 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 factory defaults/new iPod.

  • The Music app on my ipod touch will not open?

    The Music app on my ipod touch will not open, it loads but the sceen is always blank and then closes the music app and goes back to my list of apps.. what do i do? any ideas?

    I have the same problem since a couple days ago, I will try to refrain from swearing or slagging on Apple, got a few questions for you, Gerbrandt, or anyone else who's had this problem and worked around it by means of a 3rd party app:
    1-Since using panamp have you used your ipod in any docks successfully? (ex: I have a JVC car deck, a Klipsch dock and the Yamaha dock for my home theatre, all will be worthless if I can't resurrect my iPod as a music player)
    2-Has using panamp done anything to help the original Apple music app to work or has it stayed dead?
    3-Do you have any smart playlists?  Like others with the 64GB model I have many many songs (that's the WHOLE point of the large capacity iPod, isn't it?) and I found that the more smart playlists I had the worse the apple music app behaved back when it was still working.
    I'll check out panamp tonight, hopefully that will stop me from curb-stomping my iPod.
    Anyone know whether an Apple "genius" has access to any sort of debugging facilities that would make it worth visiting the store for help on this matter?  (ex: if they have root access to check for corrupt song database, or debug logs of some sort, or can do any direct manipulation of commands over the dock connector).
    It sure would be nice to know why this happens, I have about 14,000 songs locked in iTunes now and many hours of time invested in ripping my CD collection but I don't want to buy a replacement iPod only to have this happen to it too.  It's annoying enough the 4 hours it takes to resynch after a system restore (which in the end did nothing to resolve the original issue).

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • Podcasts won't sync to the podcast portion of the built in Music App on my iPod Touch.  How do I fix this?

    Ever since I downloaded the new Apple Podcast App my Podcasts that I subscribe to in iTunes have not worked correctly.   I have deleted the Apple Podcast App because it does not work well and I'd rather have the functionality with Podcasts that the sync from iTunes to the built in Music App has.  However, now I can't get the podcasts I subscribe to to show up in the original app.  My iTunes says that all the podcasts are being synced and it is checked to sync them and even the data storage indicator bar at the bottom shows the amount of space being taken up as if the podcasts did sync but when I go into my iPod Touch in the music app they are not there.  How do I fix this?  Thanks!

    What you're really doing is trying to create a new icloud account using an ID that is not currently associated with a user's account.  A device can only do this a fixed number of times (3 or 5, don't remember), after which you must use a different device or computer to create the account.

  • On my iPod touch 4th gen the touchscreen doesn't work when I go to my music.  Why is this and how can I stop it?

    This is driving me crazy!!  I think this may be happening becaues sometimes when I put my iPod into my iHome, the iPod says it is temporarily unavailible becaue it is over heated and has to cool down.  I stopped putting it in my iHome right away but I'm curious if the touch screen is still not going to work on my music!
    EXTRA:
    *After I turn my iPod off and on again, the touchscreen starts back up.
    *This has happened two times.

    Hi,
    Try doing a FULL restore of your device and then put everything back on it. Tell me if this works.

  • IPhone 5 touch screen does not respond when laid flat on a table. What do I do?

    I just started noticing this when a friend sent me a text and I was unable to "slide to unlock" the screen to reply. I tried swiping through the apps, up and down, left and right--every gesture that an iPhone was built to detect. Even the assistive touch didn't respond! What's interesting now is that whenever I pick up the phone and it's no longer lying 180º on a table, it responds normally. Should I be worried?

    I wouldn't be "worried" but it warrants a trip to the genius bar I would think.

  • The screen is stuck in landscape in the music app on my ipod touch

    The screen on my daughter's iPod touch is stuck in the landscape position. When we turn it to the portrait position, it stays as landscape. However, the screen orientation for the other apps works just fine. Does anyone know how I fix this?

  • When I try to play a song with the music app on my iPod Touch, some songs freeze at the beginning and my iPod touch becomes unresponsive to anything for up to twenty seconds.  Help?

    Hi all I'm new here.
         My issue goes something like this.  When I use the standard music app to play some of my music (MOST from Beatport) on about half of the songs, my iPod will freeze and become unresponsive for up to a half minute.  After that, it normally brings me back to the playlist song selection that I was looking at previously.  I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation that is running iOS 6.1.2.  I have only three playlists, but all of the three have over 500+ unique songs on them.  (I normally don't keep duplicates of songs on my iPod)  I started to have this problem when I upated my old iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6.0.0.  Ever since I got that update, half of my songs have not and will not play.
    I have tried numerous times to reset my iPod (4th and 5th) and I even re-installed everything without using a backup.
    Any help as to what will fix my problem?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • TS1702 Ipod Touch, V2.  Hangs on start-up, from the reboot, does not go beyond the apple logo.  Not recognized in ITunes.  I'd know I need to restore, but how do I get it recognized in ITunes?

    My IPod Touch hangs on startup, doesn't go beyond the apple logo.  Tried the reboot, doesn't help. 
    I'm thinking I need to restore the system, but it isn't recognized in ITunes either.
    How do I force it to be recognized?

    - See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow the restore.
    - Next try DFU mode
