Why is my ipod touch freaking out! tapping on its own

My ipod is randomaly opeing stuff in the application i am on like i was on safari it was going back and opening article on its own. has any one encountered this before i think its rare. It just taps on its own. I have done restore reset everything its definitly hardware. Has anyone fixed this by replacing the digitizer. Or is it somthing more serious.

Tap Settings / Safari. Clear the History, Cookies, and Cache.
Restart your iPod.  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider to turn off iPod touch. To turn iPod touch back on, press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't make a difference, restore the iPod as new.

Could be one of the third party apps is causing the erratic behavior.
After you restore as new re sync 5 apps at a time, then test the iPod.

  • Is it true that the ipod touch 5th gen bends on its own? I mean if i put it in my front pocket or in my bag?

    so I just got a new itouch 5g cause a lot of people said it was great and they've said that it has a stronger build than that of the 4g. So is it true that if I put my touch in my front pocket it will bend on its own? cosidering that maybe I wear pants that have tight pockets.

    I've not seen any objective comparisons that tested the bend resistance, so I can't offer any sort of opinion. I would expect either iPod to be subject to bending if kept in your pocket when you sit down. That's a lot of stress and leverage. I've even seen keys bend, and they're harder to bend than an electronic device.
    My advice; don't keep your iPod in your pocket.
    Regards.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen restores on its own

    hello, the last few times that my ipod has died when i charged it again i find that it is completely restored on its own [asking me to plug into itunes]
    i'm not sure why this is happening? i was wondering if this happened to anyone else?
    i've been trying to not to let it die so that it doesn't happen

    That happens sometimes. An iPod goes into Connect to iTunes when it encounters an error. It did not "restore". The screen is telling yo to connect the iPod to your computer so you can restore via iTunes.

  • IPod Touch reverting to "home" on its own

    Hi, i've been using my iPod Touch for several months now and all of a sudden it has begun reverting to the "home" screen on its own during music playback. so, the music will stop and it will bring up my home screen, all on its own. anyone else experienced this and know how to solve the problem?
    thanks a lot

    Hi monster-0 and welcome to  Discussions Forum!
    Your iPod is crashing constantly . Well, in this case, avoid using several features at the same time,
    like browsing Safari while you're listening to music (if it's your case).
    One thing you could also try is to turn you iPod completly off (press and hold the sleep button) more often.
    If the problem persists, I would recommend you to reset it and re-sync all your content to the iPod.
    However you must note that these situations sometimes are normal in certain circumstances...
    Hope this helps!

  • HT4972 Why 2nd generation IPod Touch is not allowed to update with newer IOS?

    Why 2nd generation ipod touch not allowed to update its OS to IOS 5 or later? This limitation made that IPod more or less useless as updated apps cannot be installed.

    Be sure to backup your current apps.  They can not be downloaded again,  Earlier iOS apps are becoming increasingly difficult to find.  You may want to look at VintApps, new in the Apple app store, that makes this much easier. 
    https://www.facebook.com/VintApps313
    Although there are thousands of available apps to choose from, they will definitively not be the latest greatest.
    I wrote my 99 cent app specifically to help solve this kind of problem.  I need to add that "I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link."

  • How do i synch my pdf/books to my library. I was able to synch my ipod touch purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.

    How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes  library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
    I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?

    thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
    i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs  did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:)

  • Why cant my ipod touch 4g cant sign in on icloud

    Why cant my ipod touch 4g sign in on icloud something always appear it said the maximum number of accounts on your ipod touch has made. What will i do?pls help me

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • I bought and transfer mac application (fxpansion Tremor) to ipod touch. Double tap dmg file in FileApp brings up unknown filetype dialog. What app processes dmg files to install them?

    I bought and transfer mac application (fxpansion Tremor) to ipod touch. Double tap dmg file in FileApp brings up unknown filetype dialog. What app processes dmg files to install them?
    an ipod touch supports all files types which its apps support

    thanks, it's good to get a reply, but why do you keep going on about windows? Agreed, there is no mention that Tremor runs on iOS. So far this is the only reason given that it cannot run on iOS. You can read and I can read.
    By putting the question to the community I was hoping for something like: the app you want is here-link, or the app you want cannot be written because technical-reason.
    From a words point of view it would seem to be open for any ios developer to support DMG files.

I've taken it to multiple locations and still it doesnt see any wifi networks. My ipod is on the current ios version 5.1.1

  • Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?

    Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?  The computer seems to recognize it as a camera device, rather than a mass storage device.  Does this have anything to do with the problem?  When plugged in, a window pops up asking which photo program you'd like to use, and if you cancel, that's it.  Even if you try to open a photo program, and download your photos off of the ipod, it still won't show up in itunes.

    Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:
