I downloaded some songs to my ipod touch 5G and now headphones won't work properly.

So I bought some songs from Jessie J a couple of months ago and today I completed the album. After all the songs had downloaded I tried listening to them through my headphones, but no sound was coming through. I can get some sound if I twist them around, but the sound is not consistent. This is not happening with just the new songs, but old songs and other apps. Sound is working fine without the headphones plugged in. I have no problems like this before but the headphones are relatively new as I lost my previous pair. My ipod touch is about 5 months old.
What can be done to fix this? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.

First confirm there is not a problem with the headphones
Then
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Out of curiosity.
You downloaded one new app and that fixed all the rest of your apps?
Resetting your iPod Touch will not lose any data.
Only restoring may cause you to loose data.

Tried back way to download itunes 8 on a 10.3.9 and now it won't work!

I didn't realize when I bought my new iPod nano that it wouldn't work on my 10.3.9 iBook G4. I stupidly decided to try to download iTunes 8 without having to upgrade my computer. Someone on a blog said that you could download it if you went to /System/Library/CoreServices/ and changed the SystemVersion.plist. So I changed it to a 10.5.5 and it worked to download iTunes 8. However, now when I click on the iTunes icon it won't open. This is the error info I can find:
dyld: /Applications/iTunes.app/Contents/MacOS/iTunes can't open library: /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreVideo.framework/Versions/A/CoreVideo (No such file or directory, errno = 2)
Help, please!

Not likely. It may be that iT8 got far enough into opening to have altered the structure of your library and made it unopenable using your old version, but I doubt it. If you reinstall the old version, I suspect it will open your library OK.
The library is not stored in the application, so trashing the application will leave the library untouched. Of course without any iT application the library won't be very useful, but you can easily remedy that by reinstalling your previous iT version. If you want to use your new Nano with it, though, there's no way around upgrading your OS.

Cracked ipod touch screen and it won't let me in or turn off. Tried to back it up and put on new ipod touch 5 and now it's not working and doing the same thing. I tried to restore to orginal but it won't let me any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I put a case on my iPod touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. The head phones work though. I called Apple Support and the 2 people I spoke with seemed baffled. Has this happened to anyone and how do I resolve this?

I put a Griffin case on my daughter's iPod Touch 5 and now there is no sound coming from the speaker. There is sound when we use the headphones. Is there a mute function that I may have switched on and if so how do I turn it off?
It was a gift bought by her Godparents in January and I live in the islands so I can't just drive it back to the store to have them look @ it!
Called Apple Support and spoke to 2 people who seemed baffled and who could only suggest I reset the device. Who h has not helped.

my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

Thgen the iPod needs a wifi connection to the internet and yo need another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FindMyiPhone app. you can also yse any computer too
Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Via USB with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Well, for FCP to see this file structure and recognize it, you need to download the Canon XF Log and Transfer plugin...

>I don't have the original clips on the card.
Meaning that they didn't back up the full card structure? Lordy...very few shooters do this and it is maddening. If you don't have the full card structure, even with the plugin, FCP cannot log and transfer.
As for ClipWrap2...that should work. Do you have the right files?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I just (10 minutes ago) downloaded an update to Firefox Sync and now it won't work

A few minutes ago (10 November 2010 18:00 GMT approx) I downloaded an update to Firefox Sync after getting a prompt and now it won't work. It is not listed under tools as before or in the browser taskbar. It appears as a green jigsaw-puzzle-piece in my list of add-ons saying "this add-on will be installed when you restart Firefox". I have restarted FF about 5 times now and it still won't install. I have the most up to date version of FF.

I assume Google toolbar extension is not compatible with Firefox 5.
You can try this extension to override compatibility issues,

Why is iTunes play count not updating for SOME songs played on iPod Touch?

I have noticed that when I play some songs on my iPod the play count won't update. This only happens with some I bought recently. I was actually testing witha song I purchased 3 weeks ago and the play count will only update if I play it on the computer. However, when I played the song on my iPod Touch 4g running iOS 5, nothing happened. How can I fix this as I use the recently played playlist quite often. also, Im pretty sure most of the songs were downloaded from iTunes app in my iPod.

I've had this problem before with my 1G and still have it with my 2G. I can replicate it EVERY TIME.
If I listen to nothing but music on my iPod touch, and then go back home and sync, I have no problems with the playcount and smart playlists.
However, if I listen to a bunch of music, then play a few games, or browse Safari for a while, any record of my recently listened to music is wiped out. The Music application even loses my place in what song I was listening to and even which artist/album I was last listening to -- kicking me back to main music screen when I click the Music icon on the Home screen.
My hypothesis -- Apple is not using a dedicated/untouchable portion of memory to store playcounts. It is shared with all other memory access. So if an application or Safari uses a lot of memory during your session AFTER you've played your music, your playcounts gets wiped out in the process.
But that's just my take on the situation.

IPod Touch: apps (facebook, twitter, facetime) don't work properly with my wireless internet having worked perfectly before. Help needed!

I got my iPod Touch 4g for Christmas 2011 and for the first 2 weeks everything worked fine - I could download apps; use apps to their full potential; use FaceTime; use everything.
But after the two weeks, the iPod decided to no longer work as well as it had promised. First of all, it would take more than 2 hours to download a single app from the app store and then, straight after that, I couldn't connect to FaceTime (it had worked perfectly before). Then, finally, to top it all off - Facebook and Twitter stopped working on occasions. For example, I couldn't post/send messages or photos on Twitter and at the majority of the time, the News Feeds wouldn't load.
Sometimes everything works but most of the time it doesn't. I've tried my iPod at every time of the day and it makes no difference - nothing still works! Also, I don't think it is the fault of my wireless internet because I've had an iPod touch before and it worked perfectly, and the laptop that I am writing this question on also works perfectly with wifi.
The weird thing is that I have used my iPod to its full potential (everything worked fine) at my friends hosue on multiple occasions - using his wifi. I am really lost for ideas for what to do - I have uninstalled all the apps that don't work with the internet (facebook, twitter) and have always made sure that I have closed apps after using them, so that my iPod wouldn't run slow.
My iPod has been like this for over a month now, help would be appreciated

Do you have a blackberry data plan active. On your account? You need an active blackberry data plan to use the majority of data functions on your phone, even if you are connected to wifi

IPod Touch 4G and iPad 2 won't update to iOS 5?

Hey, I have an iPod Touch 4G and iPad 2 that are both running. 4.3.5 and I am trying to update to iOS 5. I downloaded it for both devices and clicked update, it backs up the device, extracts software, and then say verifying restore with Apple. Then a message pops up saying, "Your device could not be restored. Your device is not eligible for the requested build" and it wont go any further for both devices. I have iTunes 10.5 and all the latest software on the Mac and no security software. I have also tried deleting the .ipsw files for both and re-downloading but that wont work. HELP PLEASE!!!

Okay nevermind, I feel stupid, I had set up those two devices on my previous laptop and thats why it wouldn't sync.

I downloaded some songs to my ipod touch 5G and now headphones won't work properly.
