My ipod 4g external speaker has been working on and off for the past few days since christmas. 2 days ago it was working all morning then in the afternoon in the middle of watching a video it just stopped. it hasnt worked since ): any help?

My ipod touch was given to me from apple refurbished and still with ios 5.0.2 after owering it on for the first time and updating to 6.0.1 it was functioning normally and i was using it just fine. i had just begun to use itunes and i bought some music and after playing about 3 or 4 songs aloud from the external speaker it stopped working. just like that. i looked over the internet about other incidents like that but then after thaty i returned back to my ipod and began playing Tron and the sound worked fine! i exited the app and it played my music just fine too. then the next day it went out again and no sound was being played. i left it alone and after about 2 or 3 hours i came  back to it and it played sound again. the next day it went out in the middle of watching a video i had just taken. it hasnt come back on since. any help/suggestions?? anything plz..

- 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.

Replace the jack yourself

    i tried to update my ipod but then it didnt work saying that an unknown error has occured, now itunes is not recognising that an ipod has been plugged in and the picture that comes up when you first get it (an arrow leading to the itunes sign) is on my screen, i dont know what to do?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.

    Hey, the stand-by button on my iPod nano 6th generation has been pushed into the iPod, I guess after being pressed a lot, to the point were it doesn't work, what do I do to fix this???

    You'll need to take or send the iPod in for service or repair either via Apple or a third party company that does repair work on iPods.

  • I am backing up my computer to an external hard drive using Time Machine.  It has been at 288.91 "used" for a while... should I just let it ride?  It's been going for about 7 hours now.

    It does not immediately delete the files that are missing.. it merely tries to backup the new files it has discovered on the external drive. Since you moved the files there, the backup at least for a while will contain both copies.. and that is why it doesn't have enough space to backup.
    Fixing the problem.. hmm pondini is the expert.. you should be able to delete the backup of the photos in existing backup.. there are instructions to do it.. but it is a very poor way to do things.
    Much better. .archive off the existing backup.. this is long and slow but worth it. you need a usb drive of the same size as the TC drive. Then erase the TC and start a fresh set of backups.
    The alternative is to use the USB drive as a new target.. but it is much slower than the TC internal drive.

  • I just got a new ipod 5 and when I plugged in the charging cord that came with it, it says it is not supported, and may not charge. It worked the first few times, but now it won't charge at all.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable as well as the iPod, is covered by the warranty.

    You need to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore it via iTunes on yur computer.  Restore from backup if you have a backup.  For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

    I'm not aware of any, not to say that there aren't any issues.
    it may have nothing to do with ntpd, there are a lot of things running.
    ntpd just happen to make the log entry at the same time as the panic.
    I would check to see if there are any updates available for you system.
    if this is the first time that this has happened. it may be (pick one):
    cosmic rays
    sun spots
    the trilateral commission
    if this happens more frequently and that traces look the same, then
    there may be a real problem that needs to be looked into further.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • My iPod touch 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??

    My iPod touch 8GB screen has been cracked. It is still under the Wal-Mart 2 year extended warranty, but I really want 5th generation! Any way to get it replaced then return it for money back or even get a discount on it??

    Apple will only give you a 10% discount if you turn that one in and purchase the new one.
    I do not know if the WalMart warranty covers accidental damage like a broken screen.

  • My daughters Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and will not play any music as in no sound coming from it. It is almost fully charged and played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    My Ipod touch 2nd generation has been freezing today.  We have updated, restored etc and now it will not play any music - as in no sound coming from it.  It looks as if it is playing, but no sound comes out. It played ok 2 days ago. Any suggestions?

    So, here is an update to my original question, in case anyone else has this issue. I spoke with a senior adviser at apple, who had me use the "devmgmt.msc" command in the search line of Windows 7; after expanding the USB controllers menu, she had me uninstall/delete the "apple mobile device driver" and then open "control panel" and "uninstall programs." Once the menu of programs was open, she had me highlight the program "apple mobile device controller", then repair it, and restart the computer. This fixed the issue and the iPod synced.
    However, just one day ago, when I plugged in both the iPod, then the iPad (not at the same time), I get the message that "this library has already been synced to another iPod/iPad or other IOS device." It then asked if I wanted to set up as a new device or from restore of previous. That is wher I am right now; I am trying to get the same apple adviser again to discuss the case number. More to follow.

    My iPhone 5 suddenly stopped opening the Apple Mail app.  It had worked flawlessly for years, but just stopped.  It worked on my iPad, and of course on the computer.  What's going on, and how do I fix it?  I've turned the phone on and off several times, soft reset several times.  There was no change in any settings when this happened, nor any new apps were added.  Thank you for any help you can give.

    Does it not work either way? Sending and receiving? Did you check the settings and make sure that nothing has changed? If you can receive email, but not send it, check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
    Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.
