White iPod Touch 4th gen, has blotchy Screen, is this normal?

Hello Everyone I have a white iPod Touch 4th gen that I've had since before Xmas. I have a problem with the display. Since I received my ipt, I have noticed that the screen is blotchy, that is most noticeable when viewing solid colours, is this normal? I have read that the adesive used to bind the glass to the screen can result in discolouration however, while this may be the cause of the blotchiness, it does not seem to be going away, I have not been able to find anyone with a similar problem, so would greatly appreciate some advice on the matter. many thanks in advance.

It's like a bad paint job basically, the closer you get the worse it looks. The problem is that it's only noticeable under certain conditions. I tend to read iBooks in night mode and that's when it shows up the most, it can be quite distracting. I just wanted to see if this is normal before I take it in. Thank you very much.

    When I open up the camera app on iPod Touch 4th Gen, the screen stays black and you are not able to take a picture/video. On the other hand when i'm FaceTiming someone, the front and back camera works fine. I went to the genius bar at the apple store and they restored my iPod and the camera was still not working but FaceTime still is working fine. Does anyone have any suggestions on why this might be happening or how I could get my iPod working like normal?

  • I have a ipod touch 4th gen and the screen cracked can i trade it in at the apple store and get a another one?

    i need help

    You can always go to the Apple Store and ask and sometimes people get lucky. Most of the time Apple requires that you pay the repair price listed here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    The least expensive way to repair (although it will void your warranty) is to go to ebay and search ipod touch 4th glass service and there are people who do it for as low as $60.

  • My daughters iPod touch 4th gen has been disabled from her locking it with a password,forgetting the password,and now it says disabled connect to iTunes .  The problem is the computer it was set up on is no longer operational.

    I tried to use iCloud to restore but she never set up iCloud. I tried to wipe it with find my iPhone but she never set that up. I put the iPod into recovery mode and connected it to an iTunes account on a different computer but it does not pick up the iPod. When I connect it to iTunes not in recovery mode it says to unlock the iPod before it can connect to iTunes. I don't know where to go from here besides blowing it up or putting it in a microwave. Please help. Thank you.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    I have checked sound settings, reset the ipod, powered off, and synced it.  Still no sound except when the headphones are plugged in.  Any ideas?

    Try the following to rule out a software problem

    - Have you connected the iPod to yur computer?  If iTunes sees the iPod, restore the iPod via iTunes-
    - Next see if see if placing the iPod in recovery mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode:

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen has no songs/incomplete songs after Syncing?

    So I recieved an iPod Touch for my birthday:
    After syncing the music into my iPod manually, the music is shown to be in my iPod on iTunes, but when I go on my iPod and push on the Music Ap, it says there's no music. When the music did sometimes show up on my iPod it was incomplete and most of the song was cut off. I also cannot restore my iPod it becomes frozen and I have to continue it on another computer.
    I can sync apps, etc on to my iPod but not music. I've looked at countless threads where people had this problem, many remained unsolved, I tried what was told where the problem was fixed (playing the music from my iPod on iTunes, then resyncing, etc), still not fixed.
    On the other hand if I use my sister's computer and sync her music, it works?
    My sister cannot get music off my computer on to her iPod either, so I'm pretty sure it's not my iPod.
    I honestly do not want to put all my songs on to a relatives computer just to put songs on my iPod it's too much of a hassle (it works, it's just too much work), I do not want to do that everytime I want more music. I want to sync music on my computer.
    Is there a solid solution to this problem?
    I apologize for the complain, but I am extremely frustrated.
    Things I've tried:
    -Reinstalling iTunes, restoring the iPod, resyncing, replaying music on iTunes off iPod, updating iPod, updating iTunes, checking Sync Music box, manually adding music.
    I also have Windows 7 if that helps.
    Thanks in advance to those who can help!

    Try resetting the iPod.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Finally, restore to factoery defaults/new iPod.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen has the white screen of death and won't connect to iTunes to restore.

    I was updating from iOS 6 beta 1 to beta 2 when my ipod froze up and started showing the white screen of death. I've tried the trick where you hold the power and home button for ten seconds and tried to put it in DFU mode to restore. None of these tricks work and my screen is still white. Also I plug it into my Windows Vista computer with iTunes 10.6.3 but it wont show up. I really need help. I don't have warranty or money to buy a new one. My grandmother will heartbroken if $200 goes down the drain.
