I have a common problem with the iPod Touch.....has anyone figured it out??

Frequently when listening to music, browsing safari, or playing videos, my ipod touch will stop abruptly and return to the home screen without reason. Shutting down the iPod is a quick fix, but within a half hour the same problem arises again. Has anyone found a permanent solution to this problem? If not, does anyone know if there is a scheduled ipod software update to fix the problem? Thanks a lot!!

If you are listening-browsing-watching the same time it looks like there is not enough memory for the iPod and it closes applications being run

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.

I am getting the same error when I attempted to upgrade my iTunes SW as many of you have gotten. I attempted a fresh download with another error. Has anyone figured it out yet?

Problems with the iPod Touch (sound)

Hey,
I was wondering (more like desperately hoping) someone can help me with my problem.
I've had my iPod touch for almost 2 years now but lately I've been getting problems with the sound.
When I bought the iPod, I bought some decent sennheiser plug-in earbuds too, because I find the one's delivered with the ipod pretty low quality.
For over a year, I loved my ipod touch (it's my second one) but one day, for some unknown reason, my sound was at not even half of the usual volume.
I've checked the settings but cannot find the problem, so I tested the ipod ears delivered with the ipod since they were new, same story (the left earbud was slightly louder than the right for some time but not too long, then they both gone quiet).
I've checked on the internet before and someone said "try jailbraking your ipod, because that sometimes helps, so I did but no effect.
So I set it back to fabric settings and went to a switch store, they listened and found it odd too so they send it in because it was still under guarantee.
Now (today), I've gotten a completely new ipod touch 16 Gb. So, happy as I was, I went home to put my music on it, and what happens? The sound is slightly louder than the previous one but still WAY too quiet! If I'm on the bus, its no use listening to it because I cant understand the lyrics cause of the background noizes the bus makes... Its p*¨ssing me off bigtime that its still way too quiet, anyone got any ideas how to fix it?
Please don't send useless reply's like get ya ears checked because Im in the army and they get checked regularly and they are perfectly fine!
Maybe with someone knows some other program or app that I can use so I can fix this very irritating problem?
I have had 6 iPods before, from the first one that came out to the ipod touch 16 Gb, and its only with this one that Ive started having problems about a year ago.
Plus my girlfriend has an ipod too (not a touch) and on her ipod, everything works fine, my earbuds included :s
Please help!
Thanks in advance!
Toby

Omg, I've put over 2 hours of work in it to reinstall other versions of itunes, ios n such to then find out that they DID NOT test my ipod and sennheiser earbuds that I gave in along with my busted itouch.... They told me they work fine... Now I took my girlfriends earbuds cause nothing worked, turned out they are both broken and now I need to go back to the store for new ones, dont think that the previous itouch wasnt busted then after all cause it was, tried with 10 different sets of earbuds
anyway Im a happy man again with a decent itouch and good earbuds, that I can lend from me girlfriend...
Thanks for the help anyway

Anyone else having this problem with the iPod Touch 5g?

I just got the iPod Touch 5g tonight, and I love it, however I have this one little issue with it. Here's a picture of it. As you can see, the app I'm using isn't taking up the entire screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed with an update for the app? Several of my apps do this.

The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

A few problems with the ipod touch

Hi all,
Just trying to get some feedback from everyone. Firstly I love the ipod touch, I reckon it was a great buy compared to all the other new ipods (please dun shoot me on this, this is my opinion :P) but I've noticed some problems with it and was wondering if anyone else has the same problems.
Firstly when I sync the touch to my computer and change the name/details of 1 movie file, when I go back to the touch in the videos section the frame that is used on the list goes missing and defaults into the generic one (the grey looking monitor). I'm not sure why. I cannot get it back no matter what I try.
Another thing, I swap back and forth syncing using my MacBook Pro and my Toshiba Tecra (XP SP2) depending on which one I'm using at that particular moment. It's fine for music, but when I try to upload any kind of movies on the Tecra it seems to give me a BSOD. Something to do with the QT program files clashing with the system. Anyone had this problem before? And as a result I would just go to my MBP to upload movies and such.
Any kind of feedback and help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time all.

Try here (you likely tried most of these).

If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Problem with the Ipod Touch Music Player

Hi, I recently got an iPod touch 3g (8 gig) around christmas, and its been a truly great buy and worked flawlessly. However just recently I started having issues with the iPod's music player.
Ever since last night, I noticed that when I use the music player, and try to move 'FORWARD' a song (IE the double forward arrow button) the arrow would stay white like I was pressing it, NOT move forward a song, the screen would be unresponsive as the current song played, and then after 2-3 seconds the music player would crash and go back to the home screen.
I know it was a crash because when I went back to the music player, it was reset back to the 'Shuffle' option with the list of songs below it (usually, it leaves off on the last song you were listening to.)
I also noticed, that even if I just listened to a song completely without hitting forward, it would STILL freeze up and crash to home screen once the song was finished, even if I DIDN'T press anything.
But apparently the double back arrow (rewind/back) works without crashing it.
So my question is: what can I do to fix this? I already tried restarting my iPod (by holding the top and home buttons for 10 seconds) and it did not solve this. I always keep my iPod charged up, and I can't think of ANYTHING I did yesterday or recently at all to cause this problem....I generally only use the iPod touch for music or internet browsing.
any help appreciated..
-Ben

I have a big problem with my ipod touch because i cant make password to open the ipod i did zoom in the setting and the numbers are big what i can do please

i have a problem to open my password ipod i did zoom setting by mistake and now i cant touch letter because so big

Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcode, place the iPod in recovery mode and then retore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
For more info see:

Anyone else having WiFi problems with the IPod Touch 5th Generation?

I upgraded my old IPod Touch 3rd Generation to a 5th Generation yesterday. I've noticed however that for some reason the wi-fi connection on the 5th Generation drops off all of a sudden for no reason at all and I can't figure out why. Anyone else having similar problems? If so what did you do?

Does the iPod connect OK to other networks?
Does the iPod see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect OK?
Did the iPod connect before?
If only your network then it could be a problem with your network
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- 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.

My first major problem with the iPod Touch.

I have a problem with my 2nd Generation (jailbroken) iPod Touch. It has been stuck on a white screen (presumably the white screen of death) for hours.
Now if you're still reading this, you're still interested in helping me with this problem... So I'll go into more detail. I have NEVER dropped the iPod, nor given it any water damage. I was walking around a store today with it in my pocket; I took it out of my pocket and noticed it had a blank white screen. So I messed around with the power/home buttons for a while, and after maybe 10 minutes, everything was fixed. I was back on my home screen and everything was well. Maybe 15 minutes later, it was back on the white screen. It has been stuck on this white screen all day. I came home a little while ago and plugged it into the computer. At first, it didn't even recognize the iPod (nor did my iMac recognize it). Later, it magically popped into the iTunes window and I quickly restored it. It just finished restoring, but the white screen of death is still there... Here's the weird part: the iPod still functions perfectly. I can tell this because I can slide my finger where the "slide to unlock" would be, and I can hear the unlock sound. I can also press the sleep button and I hear the "lock" sound... I'm a technology nerd, but this has totally mystified me. Could it be the wires going from the hardware to the screen? Or is it software related? (based on the facts above, it's obviously not because of the jailbreak. For what it's worth, I probably won't jailbreak the iPod again... It's not really worth it.)
Thanks so much for your time!

If you go to the link krazyracer gave above, you will see that sending your Touch to Apple will likely do little or no good, since you have broken the terms of the EULA:
Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that hacks the iPhone OS. It is also important to note that unauthorized modification of the iPhone OS is a violation of the iPhone end-user license agreement and because of this, Apple may deny service for an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that has installed any unauthorized software.

Has anyone had a problem with the iPod touch 4 not charging?

I sent my iPod 4 in to get fixed and they are saying its my fault it won't charge. All of a sudden it quit charging and charging port is messed up. All I did was plug in the charger. I have had the iPod less than 2 months.

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. I Thin you did this and found problems
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

A third-party place like the following will replace the connecto for less. Google for more.

jsavage9621,
It pains me to hear about your experience with the Home Phone Connect. This device usually works seamlessly and is a great alternative to a landline phone. It sounds like we've done our fair share of work on your account here. I'm going to go ahead and send you a Private Message so that we can access your account and review any open tickets for you. I look forward to speaking with you.

Hello, I have a problem with the iPod, is that the iPod does not sync all the songs that are on my Itunes. I have 373 songs on the iPod and iTunes 512 in ... What do I do?

Hello,i have a problem with the Ipod,is that the Ipod doesn't sync all the songs in my Itunes. I have 373 songs in my Ipod and 512 sons in my Itunes. What do i do?

Hello,
I take it you haven't unticked any of the songs listed on your iTunes Library? Also have you tried selecting all your songs which you wish to add to your iPod, and dragging them over your Devices "iPod Nano"; and seeing if that copies all songs on to your iPod?
Another idea is just check that your iPod has enough space for the rest of your songs to be added to your device.
Hope this helps.

I have a common problem with the iPod Touch.....has anyone figured it out??
