What can I do if my recently bought iPod touch 5th generation's touch screen is unresponsive at times?

I've had my ipod for about a week and off and on throughout the day the touch screen is unresponsive. I've restarted it several times and it does no good. Help!

Just the standard fixes:
- 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.
- 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:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

How can I make the best of my ipod touch screen with no internet connection??

I've been offered an ipod touch screen last Christmas and it's only a week ago that I took it out of its box. I still can't figure out how to transfer my music library from my laptop to the ipod. But I've installed some apps thinking I would be able to listen to my favourite radio station and play some games wherever I go and to my disappointment nothing's working if not connected to an internet connection. I thought an ipod was an improved walkman and actually it is nothing but a device that should be connected to the internet to work.
Considering that I don't have a free internet connection to the internet on my mobile phone, I was just wondering wht's the purpose to have an ipod? I really consider to go back to my old walkman... Thank you for your comments to help me to make the best of my Christmas present.

The message you are getting is saying that the iPod was previous synced to another computer. You can only sync with one computer. If you sync to another computer then the iPod media from the iPod get erased (as the message says) and is replaced with what is in the iTunes library of the second computer.
Syncing means copying (syncing) media from your iTunes library to your computer)
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
For not showing in iTunes:
- Try entering the screen lock passcode on your iPod if not done already
- Go to Windows Device Manager and see if there is any problems/unknown devices
- Can you not import photos from a digital camera? The iPod appears in My Computer like a camera does.

My iPod touch will not power on. When I connect it to my PC or docking station it won't even charge. What can I do.??, My iPod touch will not power on. When I connect it to my PC or docking station it won't even charge. What can I do.??

I have my iPod touch since Christmas 2010. I was using it laast night and it went dead. I thought it must be the battery (even though I didn't get a waring like usual when the battery is about to loose power). I put it on the docking station to charge and nothing was happening. I connected it to my PC and still nothing is happening. Does anyone know what I can do???

It tells in the link.

I can't hear the music on my IPOD 60Gig 5th generation and can not see my videos

I can not hear the music, I can not see the videos on my IPOD 5th generation. I have restored it to the original settings and it still does not work.

That's likely an indication or one or more hardware failures of the iPod. You'll want to get the iPod serviced in order to gain full functionality of it again or start saving for a new iPod.

I can't turn off hold on my iPod Nano 5th Generation

I wanted to change my song so I pushed the hold switch to off. Unfortunately hold didn't turn off. I took off the top white part that is glued on to turn off hold without the switch, just in case it was the switch that wasn't catching. It didn't work. I don't want to touch or take apart anything else unless I know what I'm doing for fear of breaking it. I just got it back in October 2009. What should I do? Please help!

yea unfortunately there is no Apple Store anywhere near my home and now my iPod is completely ****** up. Songs play with different names and stuff. So I'll have to mail the damned thing in. Thanks for the help though.

How can I fix my non responsive ipod touch screen?

The screen shows the "connect to itunes" logo, and I do. But since it has a passcode on it, It won't connect to itunes and I can't put the passcode in because the touch screen is unresponsive. I've tried resetting multiple times and that has done nothing.

Place the iPod in recovery mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTuns. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

This one kid reported to them that his was stolen and they gave him a new one. Will they do the same for me? Is there any other way I can get all my pictures from my iPod without iCloud set up? Would Apple be able to lock up my iPod so they cant use it at all? Please help me, thanks (:

Nothing... why would they do anything?
Apple does not provide insurance and they are not law enforcement.

I recent bought a classic 5th 30gb. Trying charge its battery over 12hrs and still 'very low battery' with white screen randomly showing this webpage.

I recently bought a classic 5th 30gb with 'very low battery'. After 12hrs charging its still same and randomly shows a white screen with this website. Does the battery need replaced or something else is wrong?

What do you see on the iPod screen, when you plug in to the PC?
My suggestions,
Charge only using High Power USB2.0 port at the back of your PC and not the low power USB 1.1 port at the front of the PC.
Change the USB cable, (maybe it is broken)
Try a wall charger.
Have a nice day!

If you can't get it to shut down or restart when holding down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons and you can't get it recognized in iTunes to restore it, the iPod may have suffered a hardware failure and will need to go to Apple for service. Someone else here may have additional suggestions, though.
There is no "fifth generation" iPod touch, by the way, just for the sake of clarity; not yet, anyway.
