I've had a third generation iPod Touch for a little over a year now. Great device, loved using it as my daily driver. Unfortunately, it gets very little use these days; I switched from T-Mobile this past December for the iPhone 4 and haven't looked back.
With that being said, when the iOS 5 beta was released a few days ago, I immediately had the perfect device to tested with. I quickly shot out an email to a friend of mine who develops, he proceeded to register my UUID, and then I updated the firmware to Beta 1.
Great!
Today, I loaded some music onto my iPod using iTunes 10.5 beta. I removed the device from my Mac properly. Got into my car, opened up the iPod app, clicked on my favorite new jam... And my iPod froze and restarted.
Figured it was just a glitch (I know guys, it's beta)... except when the iPod restarted, the screen wouldn't register any of my touches. Restarted four or five times to no avail. Tried plugging it back into my computer just now (thinking that would do the trick)... but it still won't accept my gestures. Volume rocker on left and right still works as does the standby button but the screen is wack!
Anyone know what might be causing the issue? Should I downgrade the OS?
Thanks in advance.
Question about
iOS 5 rendered my iPod Touch's screen (3rd. gen) inoperable. Anyone else come across this problem?
Such serious problem should be restored back to 4.3.3 first, i think you should have backup before, try to plug it in to the iTunes. If iTunes recognized your iPod Touch, then try to restore it by clicking the restore button in the Device page. (Or right click the device and select "Restore from a backup"). If not, you should try to enter the DFU mode and start recovery [if you are experiencing to loop of turning on and off again, try the app called "Tiny Umbrella"]
