Why won't one or more letters/numbers type on my iPod touch?

Why won't one or more letters/numbers type on my iPod touch?

Try:
- 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.
- 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. Likely a bad digitizer.

  • Why won't any of my music will transfer to my iPod touch with iOS7?

    None of my music will transfer since updating iOS7. I had to do a software restore to even get the thing to sync the song titles, but not be able to play them. That's basically the whole purpose of an iPod, right? Music? Anyway, I refuse to do a firmware restore again.  I should not have to do that everytime I want to put music on my iPod. iTunes just sits there telling me that it's "waiting for changes to be applied." Well, I've come across calculators that operate faster than this thing.  It has been this way since noon EST.  The most frustrating part about this is that I have paid Apple, Inc. literally thousands (2) of dollars for a MacBook Pro and an iPod Touch 5. Soooo, yeah. iOS 6 and iTunes 11, worked awesome, best sync ever. iOS7 and iTunes 11.1? What the what happened and how do I fix it? And don'y say device restore, I will sooner donate it to the trash bin.

    I spent forever today looking for this same answer.  VERY frustrating.
    What I did was this:
    In General Settings>go to RESET> Reset Network Settings.
    Wait for the device to reboot as it disconnects and resets your router connection.
    Then Reconnect to your wifi by using your password.
    WORKS.
    I had to reset my iphone 4s, my children's ipad minis AND my ipad 4.  Not impressed but it was the only thing that worked and at least it was fast.
    Not sure why this happens, and thinking that whenever my router updates I will have to do this to them.  My husband's iphone 5 was unaffected however.  So weird.
    Hope this works for you!

  • Why won't apple make a special ios 7 for 4g ipod touch

    Im very disappointed in apple right now they had me all excited about ios and they never even tried to make it for ipod touch 4g. Is my ipod going to end up like the iPhone 3, and all the older stuff. If it does i will eventually switch over to microsoft and google.

    The hardware, as has been said here many times already, will not support iOS 7. Apple would have to strip so much out of iOS 7 to make it run effectively on a fourth-gen iPod touch that you would basically just have iOS 6 with different icons and fonts.
    As to switching to Microsoft and Google, by all means do so if you feel they'd serve you better, but Android and Windows Phone are far worse about supporting old hardware than Apple is with iOS, so check carefully before you buy.
    Regards.

  • Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad? Anyone have a fix? Have also created a dropdown menu, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Why won't cells autopopulate when using numbers on the ipad as they will in excel? Anyone have a fix? I have also created a dropdown menu in excel, but that does not translate from excel to numbers either.

    Glad you got it sorted out.

  • Why won't my printer print page numbers? The page numbers show up when I preview the document by don't print on the page.

    Why won't my printer print page numbers in a document? The page numbers show in print preview, but will not print on document.

    Perhaps you have set the margins so tight to the edge of the paper that you have gotten into the non-printing area for your printer. Most printers have a dead zone.
    What are your margin settings?

  • Why won't one of my speakers work on my iphone 4?

    why won't one of my speakers work on my iphone 4?

    Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
    To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.
    Sorry its being pedantic - but I couldn't resist.

    Why can´t i use face time call with on my ipod touch with ios6

    iTech, First change your apple password, than go to 'setting' and than click on 'Facetime' and make sure your facetime email is right than retry. Also calling apple support can help you or the best way is to go down to the apple store for direct help. I really hope that what i have told you have helped and try to reset your iphone.

  • I was on a trip and one of my hair products got on my ipod touch everything works but the front camera can i fix the front camera?

    i was on a trip and one of my hair products got on my ipod touch everything works but the front camera can i fix the front camera?

    Did the iPod get wet by the hair product and probably cause a problem due to the liquid or is there some thing on the front camera lens that prevents the camera from seeing?  How does the camera not work?
    If liquid damage I doubt YOU can fix it but you can have Apple fix it or a third-party place.  If lens is obstructed you may be able to polish the area.
    Apple prices:

    Third party places:
