Speaker sound problems. New 4gen, Ipod Touch

I just bought my 4th gen Apple Ipod touch brand new. Everything was working fine for about 2 weeks and then I started noticing that the external speaker sound would suddenly mute itself and then sometimes it would work again.
I've already tried shutting off, restoring and updating my ipod touch. It seems that the earbuds would always work whenever i plug them into the headjack, but when i unplug there would be no sound.
I've checked my volume, and even the volume for the ipod's ringer and alerts.
What can I do?
My speaker is bi-polar!!
Now I feel foolish for upgrading to the 4th since my 2nd generation has never failed me from the day I bought it.
I bought my ipod touch brand new from AMAZON, and I mean from Amazon not a third-party seller.
Thanks for the feedback.

Contact Apple...sounds like a warranty issue.

  • HOW DO I FIX SOUND PROBLEMS ON MY IPOD  TOUCH?

    How do i fix sound problems on my ipod touch?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Sound problem with my iPod touch! Need urgent help!

    I have an iPod Touch 8gb 3rd gen (2nd gen) and have owned it for a couple years. Recently I've been noticing some sound problems when I listen to music with earbuds/headphones. One of the earbuds will lose sound and won't produce music but if I twist the input plug it produce little or full sound but if it moves out of a certain position it won't produce sound out of that bud. I'm using Skullcandy Ink'd earbuds so I thought maybe since they arn't great it might be a manufacturer defect but I used them with my iPod Nano 2gb 1st gen and I could hear out of both earbuds perfectly. I even plugged in my iPod Touch into a car adapter so I could listen to my music through the car stereo and it went in and out of sound so I realize now it is my iPod and not  3rd party equipment I've been using with it that is the problem. Since its the iPod what is the exact problem and how do I fix it? I really don't want to use my old iPod since it doesn't have enough storage for my music now and I'm already getting something else for Christmas that I've been wanting for a while. Please help!

    If your car adapter works thru the headphone jack, the problem could just be dirt inside the jack.
    Try just putting in and out the headphone plug a few times. You can also try cleaning the jack, just don't use anything wet. Cotton swabs are also not advisable as they might leave lint and make things worse.
    To make sure it's not a oft ware issue, try to Reset your device.  
    Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

  • Playing music from my new 4g ipod touch makes clicking noises in my stereo units speakers. Does not do it on my old Ipod

    I have a new iPOD touch and when I play it through my stereo or car, the stereo makes apparently random clicking sounds in the music. It did the same with a unit I returned today for this problem. When I play the same song using my old ipod classic, using the same files, it does NOT make the clicking sound. Any ideas?

    I'm having the same exact problem with our ipod touch 4g  - considering exchanging ....but you have done that and still have the same issue??.   Its not a consistant problem and can't recreate it on cue but its irritating when it starts happening cuz you start focusing on the clicking sound.  We've used a couple different USB cables to see if thats the problem and it still happens. 
    Very interested to hear if anyone as any answers as to why this is happening..... Thanks

  • My Brand New Refurbished Ipod Touch is not working

    I just bought a brand new refurbished Ipod touch 32GB (current generation), after a week it shows flickering white screens. I seldom used it for the whole week. When I went to apple service centre they told me that the water leak indicator turns into purple colour supposedly white. I ask them, how this thing can happen, because honestly I was always keep it safe and never been contact to any liquid or soak into water. Then I went to another service centre to get second thought – same feedback was given to me. The warranty was void because of the water leak indicator turns into purple colour.
    Anyone can help me to resolve my case? Honestly, I seldom used my Ipod touch, never been contact with water and it was always safely kept. Maybe there is some problem down the factory line, why it was refurbished? What is the history of this iPod touch? Maybe from there, something can help me that can prove that is the original problem of this iPod touch.

    i also got a refurb Touch. luckily, mine works as expected.
    a refurb enjoys the same warranty as a new one. take yours to an Apple store near you and have it replaced.

  • I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT...

    I have been having problems with my iPod touch and my WRT54G router. I am so frustrated right now because after following the various steps mentioned in one of these threads, following Earthlink's prompts, and speaking with Apple, my iPod touch will still not work. It is connected to the internet but will not download the pages. It is quite frustrating. I have changed from WPA to WEP, I switched the 4th Generated key to the 1st. I've disabled this, enabled that. I've done just about everything. I updated the firmware. I made the switch from a partial bridge to a full bridge. Still nothing seems to work. Does anyone have any other suggestions? The one thing I have not done is enter the Apple code into the iPod which searches for website...-- I cannot access the internet with my iPod so this web address does not work. If anyone has been successful, will you please give me step by step instructions? Yesterday I was on the phone with Linksys for about an hour. Before that with Apple for about an hour and before that with Earthlink. How it is that I can walk into a Bread Co. or Apple Store and immediately connect to the internet with my iPod but I can't in my own house?? Everyone seems to think it is someone else's problem so I've gone around and around. Not one of the Linksys support personnel suggested I look here on this community forum. I had to pay the $9 fee to have advanced Linksys help but still my iPod does not work and when I called back, the man I spoke with seemed to think the case was closed because my PC, Laptop, and iPod are connected to the internet -- the iPod just won't download the webpages or get mail. My iPod's IP address begins with 192. I would appreciate any help on this matter

    I had the same issues with my iPod touch & iPhone. It's a known issue with the touch & Linksys G routers. Go into settings on the touch & do the following.
    1. Settings - wifi - linksys
    2. Erase your DNS settings & input same numbers as in router
    Settings.
    3. Http proxy should be
    in off position.
    4. Close out & open safari you should now have a wireless
    connection.

  • Problems syncing my ipod touch 4th gen

    I am having problems syncing my ipod touch 4th gen to itunes.  I keep getting an error message stating iTunes could not back up the iPod "name of ipod" because an error occured.  My daughter and I both use the same computer to sync our ipod's and this problem only occurs when I try to sync mine.  It works fine syncing hers and I have tried to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.  Please help

    Try placing the iPod backup file in a safe location so iTunes has to create an entire new file.  It is located here:
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • Problem restoring my ipod touch

    I had to put my new ipod touch that i got last week into restore made because it was having problems. My ipod touch doesn't even turn on and show the connect to itunes icon anymore. I plugged it back into my computer (windows xp) and I open up itunes. Itunes says that there is an ipod in restore mode that needs to be restored before using it. I click restore and an error comes up saying: "software for this ipod is not currently availabe. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again". I have downloaded iTunes 8 and tried to restore it but it still does not work. If anyone has any info, it would be greatly appreciated.

    try reseting your ipod by holding the home button and the sleep/wake at the same time until the apple logo appears on screen after you disconnect it from itunes.

  • I am new to IPod touch and really enjoying it.  BUT.  All of a sudden I am unable to connect to my home wireless network nor any hot spots.  Did not have any trouble in 1st month and yet something seems to have changed.  Any suggestions as to what ?

    I am new to IPod Touch and enjoying but all of a sudden (after about a month of connection) I am unable to connect to either my home wirless or hotspots outside of home.  It would appear that a setting has changed but have no idea how to determine.  Any suggestions ?

    NO I did not and thank you very much for the advice.  My problem was stated incorrectly in that while I am able to connect to the wireless from that point on I am unable to connect to the internet.  I will check the article referred to.

  • Problem with my ipod touch jack

    I have a problem with my ipod touch jack. When I listen to music (using non aple headphones and the headphones it came with)it doesn't sound as good as my mp4 player so I purchased  an adapter and it still doesn't work what can I do?

    The phono input is for a phonograph.  The iPod does headphne output is not that same as a phongraph output.  Does th stero have an AUX input?  That should be compatible.
