Touch screen doesnt work only while playing music.

While playing music, the touch screen does not respond. I can only change songs by locking, then double tapping the home button. The touch screen works fine for all apps and home screen. I can't change albums, songs or anything. I have not dropped the Ipod or exsposed it to water. Have no insurance on it. Thank you in advance!

Don't play songs!
If it has never been jailbroke, the following may help.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Freezing, touch screen doesnt work, call buttons d...

Hi, ever since i updated my phone with that necessary update that kept bugging me my phone has been freezing and the touch screen doesnt work. It usually works fine after a night of charging, but that's just annoying and i shouldnt be doing this if the phone costs so much and ive only had it for half a year.

dont know what phone you have but go software update program (back up) and reinstall the latest software again via pc is better
it works for me in the past

My ipods touch screen doesnt work anymore i cant unlock my ipod

my ipod was working fine for a while and then now all of a sudden the touch screen doesnt work at all. Ive restored it twice now and i cant unlock my ipod because the screen doesnt work..anything i can do to fix it or do i have to buy a new one?

If you restored to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem you very likely have a hardwre problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can i back up my apple iphone 3g its telling me to unlock the screene but i cant the touch screen doesnt work

i have a apple iphone 3g and my touch screen doesnt work i tried to back it up to my itunes but its telling me unlock it i need my contacts off it like asap help

If the touch screen physically doesn't work, it's too late to back it up. You should have been syncing your contacts with something... a cloud service or contact manager on a PC. If you were not, then I'm afraid you're going to lose them.

Touch Screen Doesnt work

The lower portion of my touch screen no longer responds to my touch. My phone is over a year old, im assuming out of warranty. Any Suggestions?

When restoring my phone didn't work, I backed up my data and made an appointment at the Apple Store. I went prepared to argue my case as my phone was over a year old (I got it the first day it was out) and didn't do any thing to damage the phone. It just developed this dead spot. I was honest about how long I had the phone and expressed that this was a common problem that is all over the internet and from what I could tell, I wasn't the only one in there for this problem. I was tipped off by a question he asked, "What row went dead?" He obviously had seen this enough times to know that different rows in the home screed went bad. I told him the second row. The conversation went on and somewhere there was some back room talks and they replaced my phone, which was very nice, but I'm betting this doesn't happen all the time. I think I got lucky. Over all I give Apple a 10 out of 10 for Customer Support. I doubt I would be so generous if I had to buy a new phone. I was told at first that it was going to cost me $249.00 to repair the phone, maybe he said $199. At any rate, I would have bought a new G3 instead of getting this one repaired. I tried to get the Apple Care on the replacement phone but they wouldn't allow that. So I have a 90 day warranty right now. I highly recommend that you get Apple Care on the iPhone. I'll be getting it on my next one. I don't know if this phone is new or a refurbished phone. It looks new, but I'm guessing it's refurbished. All in all I'm hoping that Apple realizes this is a problem with the screen and it's a problem that they need to fix or continue to fix when they go bad for no good reason. Well that's been my experience hope yours turns out as well.

Touch acts as if the "touch " SCREEN DOESNT WORK

TOUCHING THE SCREEN DOESNT NOT WORK

Try to set it up as new device without using the backup afterwards:

Touch screen doesnt work at all, Please Help

I have a HP Pavilion touch smart 20 all in one PC. I have had my computer for a few months and everything was working. I really never used the touchscreen but I tried it out and it worked fine. Just recently I tried using the touchscreen and it doesn't work at all no response to touch. My wireless mouse and keypad work fine still. PLEASE HELP. I am running 64 windows 8

To get your touchscreen to function normally, you can try out the following options:
(Note: Follow these options in the same order as they are given)
1. Clean the screen
Follow these steps:
a) Turn Off your computer
b) Take a soft, damp cloth and spray some good-quality glass cleaner on it.
(Important: Do not spray the glass cleaner directly onto your touchscreen)
c) Wipe the screen gently to remove smudges and dirt that may be present on your screen.
d) Once done, turn On your computer and see if the touch screen responds now. If it does not, follow the steps ahead.
2. Perform a complete shutdown (if you have not done this already)-
Follow these steps:
a) Press Windows +1 key
b) Click "Power", then press and hold Shift key and click "Shut Down"
c) Turn On the computer by pressing the power button
d) Check if the touch screen responds. If it does not, refer to the next section below.
3. Configure your touch display settings
Follow these steps:
a) In your Windows Start screen, type "Tablet PC Settings" (without quotes) to open Search.
b) From the results that appear, select "Tablet PC Settings"
c) On the display box that pops up, click on "Setup…"
d) Follow the on-screen instructions. By following this process, you are notifying your system to identify your screen as a touch screen.
e) Now tap your screen to see if it responds. If it doesn't, go to the next point below.
4. Perform a System Restore
A System Restore will enable you to roll-back recent changes in your system and take it back to a stage when it was working perfectly. To know how to restore your system, refer to the following HP Support link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03327545&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en

5. Perform a HP Recovery Manager
To use HP Recovery Manager on your computer, refer to the following link:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03489643&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en#N206

My ipod 5 touch screen doesnt work and shows vertical lines?

So, I was getting ready to go to my competition and my ipod 5th generation fell out of my pocket. It fell on the screen and when I looked it apeared to have no external damage.. I turned it on and it had vertical black, white, and even some blue lines on the screen. The touch screen since has not worked. The ipod apears to be fully functional, the time is changing and it conects to itunes. However I can not use my ipod because the touch screen doesn't work. My cousin is a tech nerd and he says that I internally broke the touch screen.
As for fixing it, I've been told a screen replacement will fix the problem. I have also heard that apple with not fix my screen but they will send me a new ipod and that is not what I want. Does anyone know where I can send it in to get fixed and for how much? Or where I can buy a screen replacement kit and how much that would be? And most importantly do you think replacing the screen will fix my problem?

After a few minutes the Touch Screen doesnt work properly anymore. (sporadic Touchscreen errors)

Hi,i use my phone like i always do and after a few minutes the Touchscreen starts making errors and it quickly gets worse till a point where i cant use it anymore.After shutting down and leaving it for a while, the described case above starts over. And thats the only thing which seems to help. I searched through this forum, but to be honest i didnt read all, there are too many post about Xperia Z1 touchscreen problems.Some speculated what the cause of this problem might be, and they were not even sure wether it is a software or hardware issue!?Software repair with PC Companion didnt help.I reviewed Touchscreen settings, didnt help.
Most important to me the question, is this problem covert by sony warranty? Thank you

Hi, This in reference to the complaint registered before. I have been facing touch issues on my Sony Xperia Z1 bought in Feb 2015 from Spice Hotspot. I had given it for repair at Sony service center in July 2015, wherein it was delivered to me after 15 days stating that hardware has been replaced and the issue is no longer there. But I am still having touch issues and they are even worse then before after the repair. I am unable to type even for 5 seconds continuously the screen goes crazy and starts typing, selecting on its own. I want my handset replaced or return my money back. This phone has become a pain rather than convenience. If you do not act on it asap I am going to consumer court and will file a complaint against you. Thanks,(**bleep** annoyed Customer)

1.2 Update: Slow/choppy menu performance only while playing music?

I picked up a 80GB iPod during the week....
I've noticed that the menus (namely smoothly scrolling through a long list of songs or artists) are quite smooth when not playing a song - but while you are playing a song, the meus become quite choppy/stuttery...scrolling through the same list of songs is awful!
Has anyone experienced this problem with the 1.2 update to existing iPods, or with the newest 5th gen iPods?
Thanks!

While I had my Ipod connected I to my computer I went to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter. Your Ipod should be one of the hard drives listed you just click on it and click analyse and it will tell you if it needs defragged. The process is just like if you were defragging your computer's hard drive.
