What to do if the buttons on your iPod touch 5 don't work?

I have had my iPod 5 touch for slightly less than a year. It has been working great however just yesterday my iPod has not been responding when i touch it. For example i can use the home button but when i try to put my password pin in its like I'm not even touching it, it doesn't work. The weird  thing is only half of the numbers are responding; numbers near the bottom like 0 9 8 7 6 work but not the rest. This is a very big issue because i can't use my iPod. Please answer as soon as possible.
PS i have restarted the iPod a couple times with the home button and off button but it doesn't seem to work

Hello there, Rawan12.
Sounds like you've done some great troubleshooting so far. The following Knowledge Base article provides some additional steps and recommendations to further resolve the issue you're describing:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Troubleshooting touchscreen response
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1827
Restart your device
Hold the On/Off button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the On/Off button to turn it back on.
If you can't restart your device, reset it by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for a least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Clean the screen with a soft, slightly damp, lint-free cloth.
Avoid using the device while wearing gloves, with wet hands, or immediately after applying hand lotion.
If you have a protective case, or if you are using a plastic sheet or film on the display, try removing them and testing the device without it.
If the steps above don't resolve your issue, please schedule a service appointment with an Apple Retail Store for evaluation. If an Apple Retail store is not an option, contact Apple to find out your best service option or see the Service FAQ for your product.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

  • The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

    The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.  The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down.  On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in.  Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works.  I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • The Home Button on my iPod Touch 5 isn't working. How do I fix it?

    Hi!  The Home Button on my iPod 5 isn't working.  I just got it like maybe two months ago.  I'm really mad about it to because it's brand new!  I'm not to the point where I'm going to totally rip my iPod apart and fix it.  And I know about the Assistive Touch or Acsessive Touch whatever it's called.  I'm using it right now but it's just not the same!  Please help!

    I would take it to an apple retail store and have them look at it. It should definitely be under warranty

  • The home button on my iPod Touch 4G is barely working!

    I have to press my home button and my sleep button about 10 times to get it to respond, does anyone have any idea why both buttons would act up? My ipod is nearly full, as in MBs away from it, would that have anything to do with the slow movement??

    No, should not have any effect.

    - 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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS2812 If you use up the screens on your Ipod Touch, where do you go to find the last installed apps?

    If you use up the screens for your apps, where do you find the latest apps you installed for Ipod Touch, 4th Generation.

    Connect and select iPhone iPod touch in computer iTunes, in Apps panel, you will be able to see more than 11 pages of apps.
    Also in there, you can create folders so that all your apps will fit in those 11 pages.

  • What if you are trying to restore your ipod and you don't have a usb 2.0 port

    thats it

    If your ipod is recognized on your USB port and you were able to sync it in the past, you will also be able to restore, but it will take more time to complete than using a faster USB 2.0 port.

  • Is it possible to delete all the information from your Ipod touch 4g remotely, without the find my touch app?

    Hope to get some ideas, Thanks

  • What to do if you've lost your iPod Touch, and it has a Passcode? Please help!

    I need some major help!
    My iPod Touch has been misplaced by me. It has a passcode. I have it set to where it automatically asks to connect to Wi-Fi when around the Wi-Fi, but since it has a passcode lock, I doubt that will happen in the lock screen. I put it into lost mode on Find my iPod/iPhone, but it's pending and must connect to Wi-Fi to begin anything I remotely do.
    Can anybody help me out?

    - The FindMyPhone app only allows you to locate one iOS device using another iOS device.
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod (Settings>iCloud) and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and and go to FIndMyiPhone. You can also wipe the device, and have it play a sound .If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - Apple will do nothing

  • The Touchscreen on my iPod touch 2G doesn't work anymore? I turned it on this morning and the touch does not react. Now i have restored it twice and reseted it several times, no toch get recognized by the screen. Any help?

    Hello,
    I have turned on my iPod Touch 2nd Generation and i wanted to slide the unlock and the touchscreen didnt responded. I then did several restarts and also restored the device after reading some forums and help platforms and still it the screen doesnt react to touch at all. It can be conected to iTunes and i can sync, but not use the device. Any additional help to revive this great device? Or is the Genius Bar and another investment my only option?
    Thanks for anyone giving me a hand.

    If you restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and still have the problem then you likely have an hardware problem and the Genius Bar is a good option.
