Why is my iPod Touch 4G screen flickering light and dark?

my iPod Touch 4G screen flickering light and dark all the time?!?! I also have this problem where at the VERY bottom of the screen, Theres this white bar that keeps flickering on and off!! PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!

The screens are practically the same.
Did you purchase your iPod Touch second hand or direclty from the Apple Store? I would recommend that you go back to the Apple Store and show them both devices in action so that they can advise you closely.

    It iTunes is asking to enter the passcode then:
    - A data recovery company may be able to help
    - Restore the iPhone from the backup of the iPod. You can then get the data off and then retore the iPhone from the backup of the iPhone.

  • My IPod touch Sliding screen is locked and won't slide?

    My ipod touch sliding screen to unlock wont open or slide?

    Try this:
    1. Let IPOD spend all batt,
    2. Recharge it again, (i think it's turn on the primitive datas),
    3. The IPOD let you slide again,
    4. Turn WIFI OFF in SETTINGS
    5. IPOD run well, (calculator, Mp3, notes...)
    I believe there is a internet command or a BUG that block the IPOD.

  • Why is my iPod touch 5 screen unresponsive? I accidentally dropped it and now the screen won't do anything. I've tried resetting it over and over again but nothing is working. Can someone tell me what is going on? Thanks

    My iPod touch is being unresponsive. I accidentally dropped it screen down and now when I go to slide to unlock it, it won't work. I've tried numerous times at resetting it, holding the home and sleep/wake button until it resets, with no luck. The Wi-Fi isn't even connecting. And the notification pull down screen and the pull up screen isn't present either. Would really like to know what is wrong with it. Thanks.

    Try the following but you likely have a hardware problem:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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 another cable                     
    - 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.

  • Why does my ipod touch only give me sound and no video when connected to tv

    whenever I connect my ipod touch to my flat screen to play a movies or watch a music video saved on the ipod touch ... I get the audio .... sometimes it will show the video but most times its does not ... simply put ... Why? and how do i fix?

    cor-el,
    Thank you for the help. I followed your instructions and it worked in Safe Mode. I went through my Add-ons and disabled them one at a time until I found the culprit.
    Additional question: If I set up Sync and run it for my desktop and laptop, then turn my add-on back on, will it continue to interfere? Or only when it tries to re-sync? I'm asking because I love the add-on that causing the trouble and will have a hard time letting it go.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Why does my iPod Touch keep changing the date and year?

    Whenever I charge my iPod Touch after it completely dies, Safari never loads whatever site I'm trying to go on and the date always goes to Thursday, January 1st, 1970. I noticed the time always changes as well. i.e. it's 10:47am now and the time on the iPod says 5:35am. I don't know how or why it keeps doing this. I didn't mind it the first 2 times, but this keeps happening everytime I turn it on. Does anyone else's do this??

    Hi eskimoerin,
    reset & software update could fix the problem.
    Don't forget to backup your data from iPod.

    If iTunes is asking you to enter the iPod then yo have to restore and thus erase the iPod after you place the iPod in recovery mode. Otherwise:

    My brand new ipod touch 4 has a locked screen. When I try and slide the bar it doesn't do anything but a "block" similar to a text box appears around the clock. Anyone have a suggestion to fix this problem?

    I think you have the accessibility VoiceOver feature turned on.
    Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and any other one off.. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
