my ipod touch screen is stuck in the lock position. Can not slide to unlock.What to do?

Try restarting.

Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch

First of all attempt a Hard Reset (Hold the Home & Sleep/Wake Buttons together until the Apple Logo appears then let go). After the iPod has reset attempt to unlock.

If it is still not working correctly you will need to attempt a restore via iTunes.

Hold the lock and home button for 15 to 30 seconds. You should see the apple logo and it should start up to the lock screen. Thanks please like

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 that block the IPOD.

hold the sleep and home button togather untill the ipod passes the slide to turn off screen and it should work

Okay--listen everyone--I'm excited that I can be the bearer of glad tidings to those experiencing this frustrating problem.

I have a iPod touch 3rd gen. The screen slide was stuck in the lock position. Over the course of the past three months I have tried the following with no success:

1.) Reboot (holding the power and home button simultaneously)

2.) Restore (both types--yes, I did the hard, factory reset) SEVERAL times.

3.) I pushed on the screen in every corner, sometimes very hard.

4.) I tried giving several voice control commands.

Everything I read on line (I've spent several hours researching), said the only thing I could do was bring it in to the Apple Store Genius Bar--they priced the labor at about $150--for which I could buy a new one. Then I remembered something CRAZY I had read a while back--I wasn't even sure I remember the correct order or even the explanation. All I know is that it WORKED! This is what I did.

a.) I put the iPod in a ziplock bag and pushed all the excess air out before sealing it.

b.) I put it in the freezer over night! (Crazy, right?)

c.) Then about 24 hours later, I took it out--it was frozen solid--and tried to power it up. No luck.

d.) I immediately put it under the hair dryer on high heat, high air. About 20-30 seconds front, then the same for the back.

e.) I tried to power it up; the Apple icon appeared! (But it did this before too.)

f.) While it was powering up, I kept the air on it, rotating front and back--It got hot. (I stopped after 1 minute.)

g.) When the home, configure screen reappeared, I was able to slide the slick, and re-configure!

h.) I've restored a previous back-up off my iTunes account, and the iPod is working again. Resurrected!

If memory serves, the explanation I read is that many of the apply devices have an internal shutdown switch before they fry or freeze in extreme temps. My guess is that the shutdown forces and internal reboot. All I know is that after trying EVERYTHING ELSE--this method worked. I did this on 18 October 2014.
