I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working. It won't pick up anything, I can't use it for recording, face time, siri or anything else. Every time I try and record and play it back its just all fuzzy, is there anyway of fixing it without having to send it off for repair?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You can also send it to Apple.

Can I exchange my iPod 5th gen for a new one

Can I exchange my iPod 5th gen for a new one

If you are in the return periiod for where ever you purchased the iPod and there is nothing physically wrong, they may allow you to return it, then you can purchase a new one.
Here's the return policy for Apple in case you purchase it directly from Apple: http://store.apple.com/us/help/returns_refund
If the iPod has an issue, the seller may not allow you to return it and you may need to obtain service from Apple in order to get a working iPod: http://selfsolve.apple.com
I hope this helps.

It was an expensive gift and we can't find it now! Please help! How do i turn it on without finding it because she can't remember where it was.

That is so dumb...Apple is the best and most techinological company IN THE WORLD and they don't have the time to invent something like that? HUH? All they are worried about is making the "Worlds best Phone" and they can't take the time out to help their users or anybody that has their products. All they have is "Find mt Iphone" Well they should step up and do something else to help people like me out. Find a way to turn it on and you can find it or find a way to turn it on remotely.
Thank you for your replys

I plugged my iPod 5th gen into a picaxe socket thinking it was an iPod connection socket and now my iPod wont turn on even if i try charging it. Pls reply asap. What do i need to do?

If not, then most likely you have damaged the iPod and will need to take or send it to Apple and pay their out-of-warranty replacement price.

I tryed to download to tracks of new music and they won't download they just say unable to download on iTunes (ipod 5th gen), I tryed to download to tracks of new music and they won't download they just say unable to download on iTunes (ipod 5th gen)

I have tried to delete the song of the download list and it doesn't appear on my purchase playlist plz help!!

You need to delete the music you got from your friend. You fried does not have the licence/right to give you a copy of it.
I would restore the iPod from a backup on your computer and sync your own media to the iPod.

Can't update iPod 5th gen to iOS 7.0.4

y son received an iPod 5th gen for Christmas but it hasn't been updated so it is using the 6.1.3 version. My MacBook and the iPod itself won't update, any ideas on how to fix this please?

Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

IPod 5th Gen says it is synchronizing, but it doesn`t. What can I do?

I have been gifted a used iPod 5th Gen, and at first everything worked fine, it charges, when connected to my computer, the first sync was also fine. Now I have added some new songs to my iTunes and want to put them also on the iPod.
Here comes the problem:
when I connect it to the computer, it starts charging, it also says, it is synchronizing, but only for a few seconds.. The new songs are not on the iPod.
Tried to set it back, but the problem is still there..
What can I do?

Hi 747er,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have an iPod nano that you would like to add more music to from your computer, but the syncing finishes without moving the music to your iPod. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article that explains how to sync your content, to ensure that your sync settings are correct.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Best regards,

NO CD came with iPod 5th Gen. Model MA146LL

I got my iPod 5th Gen. today model number MA146LL. I was saddend when I got home (about a two hour driver from the store) to find it did not have the software CD enclosed any idea where I can obtain a copy or download all that is on the cd? Please email me direct at [email protected]
Thanks
Patrick

It seems odd that you downloaded a version of iTunes your pc can't use. Sorry for asking the obvious, but are you sure you chose to download the pc version of iTunes? I suppose there could be a slim chance your browser may have not been correctly identified by Apple and it may have given you the Mac version of iTunes which obviously won't work. Make sure the file you are downloading is the .exe version, that's the one you need.
To the original poster, don't be too sad that your iPod doesn't come with a cd. Now the brand new 5.5G ipods do not come with a cd at all. Now that you can just download iTunes with the iPod updater built in, packaging the cd with any current iPod is just a waste.

I have an old Ipod 5th gen that I have been using for downloading music from my library. Upon purchasing an Ipod touch and registering it in Itunes, I can no longer sync tunes to my old ipod. How can I get that option back on my old ipod?

I got the answer from someone else and it works.

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod?

I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
- Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
- Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup.
Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
To move mdia to the new computer see:
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer

My ipod 5th gen says it is connected to the internet and i can go on apps that require an internet connection but whe i try to use the weather or another app that uses your current location it cant find me???

If you open the Maps app where does that say you are located?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

My iPod dispalys this message:
"Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?
I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?
