Touch screen inoperative, buttons work

Using iOS 8, with slight variations for earlier versions:

• Touch either the Contacts app, or touch the Contacts button on the bottom of the screen in the Phone app
• Touch the + button that is located in the upper right of the Contacts screen
• Add as much or as little information as you wish in the blank contact card
• Touch the "Done" button in the top right of the screen after you have added the information.

The only way to reset it if you really do not know the password is to put it in restore mode and connect it to iTunes for a full restore. You cannot restore it in iTunes unless you are in restore mode since you do not have the password.
ALSO! Please know that once you put it in restore and connect to iTunes for the restore process, the apps and songs on the actual iPod Touch will be gone.
Anyway, to put the Touch in restore mode do this:
o put the iPhone / iPod Touch into recovery mode:
- Turn it off (hold the power button on the top down for a few seconds then slide the red slider across from left to right).
- Press and hold the home button (the button on the front, under the screen)
- While still holding the home button, plug it in to the computer
The screen should show something like this:
iPhone / iPod Touch Recovery Mode
You should now be able to use iTunes to restore the iPhone / iPod Touch by clicking the Restore button.

Good luck!!

You should restore completely, but just note that this will wipe all of the data on the phone.

Turn the iPhone off by holding the button on the top and sliding the red bar to shut down the iPhone.

Now go into iTunes on your computer,

While holding down the iPhone circle button, plug the iPhone into the cable connected to your USB port.

Continue holding down the iphone button until the computer in itunes tells you that it has discovered an iPhone in recovery mode. From there, you can just click on the restore button. It will download the latest firmware for your iPhone (your iPod) and will apply it as well as perform a factory reset. Once this is finished, the iPod has been factory restored just like when it was new.


No matter what anyone says, the problem will eventually force you to do a restore anyway. There might be a few temporary patchups but when you start seeing panics on the system apps especially, there is something off. Restore and your set! Good luck!!

Have you tried doing a hard shut down? Hold the silver button down on the upper right corner and also the home button (center,bottom indented button) together for about 10 seconds. the phone will completly shut off. then wait about 10 seconds and hold down the upper right hand button until the apple appears on the phone then release the button and wait (20-30seconds) . Doing this usually solves all my issues with my iphone when it gets locked up like this.

I am having a similiar problem. This piece of **** is going back to Best Buy.
