Touch screen wont respond, touch screen wont respond\

my touch screen on my ipod touch wont respond??? any answers helpful plz....
have already did a successful recovery and updated which seemed to go well as it turns on normally but wont respond otherwise.  ps. the volume control works as well...

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.

    Try:
    - Another cable
    - Another USB port
    - Reboot the computer
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - 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 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.

  • I pod touch got wet and screen wont respond

    My daughters Ipod touch got some sports drink on it.  we immediately put it in rice over night and then sat it in the sun the next day.  It will sync to Itunes, the screen comes up in full color but it wont respond other than putting it to sleep and turning it on and off.  Any other suggestions?
    Thanks!

    First off, it should have remained in the rice for a few days. And sitting it in the sun could have damaged the device. Put it back in the bag of rice, but my bet is its cooked.

  • My ipod screen wont respond to touch

    My ipod was working just fine last night, then today I tried to listen to it and the screen wont swipe to unlock or anything.... What do I do? I've rebooted, restored it, everything, but it wont respond to touch.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • Ipod Touch 5, screen wont respond

    I dropped my Ipod Touch 5, face down. then when i tried to unlock or go to the camera it wouldnt respond. Ive tried turning it off but i cant because i need to slide the bar but my screen wont work. I also tried to restore but theres a passcode so it wont let me restore. I cant go to safe mode because my home button is also broken. Went to apple store as well but they didnt help at all. I NEED HELP!! WHAT SHOULD I DO?!? there are no cracks, so it puzzles me even more!!!
    IPod Touch 5, ios 7.0.6. 

    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restore via iTunes:

    or

    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    Maybe this:
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.

  • Brand new out of box IPAd 3 middle of the screen is dead wont respond to touch

    setting up my iPad the middle of the screen wont respond havent got past password setup as I made a mistake and the continue button is in the middle of the screen and wont respond
    Had the same problem with setting the country up as it was in the middle scrolled it up or down the screen it was selectable but any other country in the middle was also unresponsive
    have powered down a few times and still the same lucky we have an Apple store nearby cant do a reset either as I cant get far enough into the setup to get connected to my pc!!

    Make sure iPad's battery is charged above 20% (we would recommend at least 50 - 60 %). If you are not sure charge you tablet for at least 40 minutes.
    Make sure your Apple tablet is in Power On state.
    Watching the shining screen of iconic tablet with apps' icons on it press and hold down the Wake/Sleep and the Home buttons simultaneously, ignore the red slide "to power off", just keep both buttons holding until the Apple logo appears. This logo is the signal that the hard reset has succeeded. Be patient, some times the hard restart of iPad may take up to 10 - 15 minutes. But such a long restart is a rare case.

  • Screen is clicking on left side, and left side wont respond to touch

    Hey guys. I've got quite the question for all the techies out there. I have an iPod Touch, just barely a year old. I turned it on today, and found a really annoying problem: the left 1/2 inch side of my touch screen (so, the far-left colum of apps) will not respond to any touch at all. I have tried shutting down, restarting, rebooting, any all of that sort of stuff. Nothing seems to help.
    Also, when I apply even the slightest of pressure to the left side of my screen, it almost sounds like a 'click', like the screen is not fully connected to the back of the iPod. I have never heard this sound before, nor have I ever had any problems with it. Like I said, my iPod Touch will be a year old at the end of July.
    Any help with this would be greatly appriciated. Thank you soo much!(:
