Touch I'd isn't detecting my finger

I updated my iphone to iOS 7.1. Before updating also I had problem with touch I'd. But now its worser. It is not even detecting my finger. Can you tell me what to do. My hands and reader was clean before enrolling. Tried resetting too.

Hey Khasifmkhan,
Thanks for the question, and great troubleshooting so far. I understand you are experiencing issues with Touch ID. The following article provides some troubleshooting steps that may be helpful:
iPhone 5s: Using Touch ID
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5883
Resolving issues with Touch ID
1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iOS.
2. Ensure that your fingers and the Home button are clean and dry.*
Note: Cover the Home button completely. Don't tap too quickly, don't press down hard, and don't move your finger while Touch ID is scanning. Make sure that your finger touches the metal ring around the Home button.
3. If you are using a protective case or screen protector, it must leave the Home button and the surrounding ring completely unobscured. If it doesn't, remove the case or screen protector and try again.
4. Tap Settings >  Touch ID & Passcode and verify that:
          - iPhone Unlock or iTunes & App Store is enabled.
          - One or more fingerprints have been enrolled.
5. If one finger isn't working, tap Edit in Settings > Touch ID & Passcode to delete and then reenroll the finger.
6. If that finger still isn't working, try enrolling a different finger.
7. If you are unable to enroll any of your fingers, take your iPhone 5s to an Apple Retail Store, Apple Authorized Service Provider, or contact AppleCare for further assistance.
* Moisture, lotions, sweat, oils, cuts, or dry skin may affect fingerprint recognition. Certain activities can also temporarily affect fingerprint recognition, including exercising, showering, swimming, cooking, or other conditions or changes that affect your fingerprint.
Thanks,
Matt M.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen isn't detected on Windows 7 Starter

    Device: iPod Touch 4th Gen (lastest update)
    iTunes Version: Latest Version
    Operating System: Windows 7 Starter (A netbook computer)
    My friend just started having this issue with his netbook where his iPod Touch will not be detected at all not even under My Computer. It will charge the device however it will not sync.
    Before he had the iTunes Wifi Sync on, but it wasn't really working either for some odd reason.
    On booting iTunes I noticed it kept coming up with the need to downgrade to be compatible for iTunes to run probably. I assume the latest version of iTunes cannot naturally run on Windows 7 Starter with downgrading to a lower compatiblity likely either it downgraded to Vista or XP compatibility.
    I was wondering with it was an iTunes sync service was not turned on, but another friend had brought her iPhone and right away that device appeared in iTunes so it appears to be a issue with the iPod itself. We swapped usb cables in hopes that his older more worn cable may have been the issue, but still not luck.
    We had used all of the following listed from this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538. As well as another which I can't seem to find that had about 15 items to try.
    So basically it doesn't show up as even a usb device in the "Device and Printers" window or as a device under "My Computer".
    Thanks for your time.

    - As asked for the versions since many users think that have the "latest" when they do not have the latest version/
    - Q4: I said no that the iPod Touch 4G does not show up in iTunes/My Computer in my post. Please My question read my post.
    My queston is does your iPod show up in iTunes when you conenct the iPod to another computer.
    "If you connect the 4G iPod to another computer does it show in iTunes/My Computer?"
    If no:
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Synaptic touchpad detects hovering finger.

    My synaptic touch pad can detect me finger even if it is hovering 2~3 mm (0.079~0.12 inches).
    This happens only for two finger scroll.
    If for example I am scrolling with the two finger and I lift the one finger in order to single click it is very likely to generate a middle click. If I lift the one finger uncomfortably high the problem doesn't occur.
    Setting FingerLow, FingerHigh high (I can go to 75 before the touchpad becomes unusable) doesn't seem to help.
    Any ideas?

    If I lower FingerLow, FingerHigh values I can move the cursor from a distance of 1+ cm...

  • My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do.

    My iPod touch (4th generation) isn't responding to anything I do. It's been like this since 2pm this afternoon (5 hours). On the screen, there is the Apple logo and nothing else. When I connected my iPod to the computer, iTunes didn't recognize it and my iPod didn't change at all. What should I do?

    See

    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or              
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - Then do the other actions of:

  • My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music

    My iPod touch 5th gen isn't letting me play most of my music. If I try to play a song it will just skip it and then if I go back to try again it will be greyed out. I can play all my music on iTunes on my computer but only about 10% on my iPod, and the 90% I can't play includes many songs and albums I've bought directly from iTunes. I've tried re-syncing the missing music from my computer but it won't let me, I can't even delete the remaining music. Please help. Thankyou.

    The grayed-out sone indicated that the songe files are corrupted.
    Try:
    - Unsync all music and resync
    - 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. See:

  • Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro - Form Wizard isn't detecting form fields?

    Hi there,
    I've been scouring various forums, blogs, etc. to find an answer to my problem, and have yet to be successful.  Here it is:
    I've created a form in Illustrator CS5 using the rectangle shape tool to indicate form fields.  I need users to be able to enter information in each of the specified fields.  I've saved the file as a .PDF and have opened it into Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.  I then select "Start Form Wizard" from the Forms menu, and after making the appropriate selections it tells me: "No new form field annotations were detected." and then prompts me to the form editing page.  I've also tried simply selecting "Add or Edit Fields" from the Forms menu and the same thing happens - it isn't detecting any form fields.
    The only time the Form Wizard or Add or Edit Fields options work is if I use underlines instead of boxes as the form fields, but I'd really prefer to use the boxes since they lend themselves to the aesthetics of the document much better. 
    I'm new to converting Illustrator files into interactive .PDFs, so I'm not sure what I should be doing.  The background color of the document is grey and the boxes are white with no outline (I tried it with an outline around the boxes and it still didn't work).  Any advice would be much appreciated!  Thanks.
    Beth

    Hi Beth
    How big are  these fields? Are they for entering text or just check boxes?
    I have found that sometimes FormWizard is not compatible with some Quark files.
    Sounds like it might be easier for you to do the fields manually.
    First draw the field like you want it and set that as the default then you can choose to paste multiple fields.
    Also if you want to use a line for FormWizard you can make the background of the field white and cover the line with it.

  • Ipod touch 4g 4.3 not detecting in itunes 10.1.2, i am using mac os x 10.3 snow leopard, can someone help?

    ipod touch 4g 4.3 not detecting in itunes 10.1.2, i am using mac os x 10.3 snow leopard, can someone help?

    You do not need Snow Leopord (10.6.X), but you do need Leopord (10.5.8) and iTunes 10.x for iOS 4.3. You need iTunes 10.5 for iOS 5
    For the Current  (iOS 5 iPod touch specs)
    Syncing with iTunes on a Mac or PC requires:
    Mac: OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7; Windows Vista; or Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 3 or later
    iTunes 10.5 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download)7

  • Touch Type tool isn't showing up in Illustrator CC

    This function was supposed to be available mid-June. Still, it isn't available or showing in my Illustrator CC, in the "T" type options.
    I really want this function! Where or when is it available???
    ~Karen

    Character panel shows all t he old standards, no touch-type icon. Also, though the type tool shows, and behind it are several options, the Touch-type tool is not one of them.
    Thanks for looking at this for me.

  • My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.

    My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.  It used to do this thing where it would freeze when it was 100% charged and plugged in and I was using it.  I'd just unplug it, restart it (home button and top button) and then it would be fine.  That had happened like 5 hours prior to me plugging it in again and then it going totally blank.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • ZEN V Plus Isn't Detected

    When I plug my ZEN V Plus 4GB into my USB port, it isn't detected. I tried using the MP3 Recovery Tool and that does not detect it either, but it does show up in the Device Manager.

    Right click on it and select Uninstall. Unplug your player then reconnect. It should re-install the driver and should be able detect your ZEN V plus.

  • HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?

    why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

    No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do.  So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything.  It could be that your router is not in Apple's database.  In that case you will just have to wait until they add it.  Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there.
