    My warrenty is expired i guess, i got it in 2009 June and then got a new one cuz that broke in december 2009 then ANOTHER one in 2010 of june ahahah so shouldnt i get a new warrenty everytime i get a new ipod. But im scared to cuz my stuff never backs up on itunes -__- (thats why i am scared to restore it)
    Btw I tend to swtich songs alot, i dont have water damage but i have dropped it on tiles in my house but i have a case.

    There is probably something wrong with the cable that connects it with your computer. Try getting a new one?

  • My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music)

    My volume automatically turns itself all the way down whenever I start my ipod (even when I'm not playing music). As soon as I slide my ipod into opening the volume goes all the way down. Even if it's already completely off, the audio icon comes on the screen, which tells me the ipod is still trying to lower the volume. As I said, I don't even have to be listening to music. I can be on the opening screen. When I turn the volume back up, it immediatley turns it back down. It only doesn't go down if I physically hold my finger to volume bar on the touch screen.
    And yes, I've updated all my software (on my ipod and laptop). I've also entirely reset my ipod twice.
    Tell me, is it time to ditch the ipod and find some other sort of mp3 player (this is one problem at the end of a long list of less debilitating but equally annoying issues I've had with my 2 ipod touches)

    Yeah, I probably mean restore. Multiple times though!
    Also, I forgot to mention that this issue persists regardless of whether or not my headphones are plugged in.

  • My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    My iPod Touch 5th Generation won't play music out loud. Why and what can i do to 'fix' it?

    If you mean the headphones work but the speaker does not:
    - 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 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.

    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

  • MacBook (Early 2009) - Screen freezes (hang) when playing music or video

    Hi,
    I have an strange problem with MacBook (Early 2009). Whenever I play music using ITunes or DVD with IDVD or even watch a video on youtube, my macbook will hang suddenly and a strange sound will come out.
    To recover from this problem, i have to power off the system and power on the system again.
    Initially, I thought it is related to iTunes but the same problem occurs even i use other alternatives (e.g. songbird) for playing of songs.
    Please kindly advice me.
    Thank you.
    Michael.

    I have a similar problem since the last update 10,5,7.
    Always when I connect my iPod80GB the computer hangs, the problem only exist when running Mac OS X. It won't happen while running windows.
    The same problem when I connect an external hard drive the computer hangs aswell (Mac OS X) (not in windows).
    My personal feeling is that there are serious bugs in the last program update.

  • Can anyone explain why on my iPhone 4S, whenever I play music, it won't hold my place in the song? I pause it, and then when I go back later, it's all the way back at the beginning? A google search was not very helpful, any tips would be great!

  • My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

    My ipod shuffle 2nd gen suddenly stops playing music after 15-20 mins.First it flashes green light and then flashes red light rapidly. Any solution to this ?

    A 2nd gen shuffle is about six year old at this point.  The likely cause is a battery that is worn out, with greatly reduced capacity or inability to hold a charge.  The initial green light shows a good charge.  The red light means the battery is drained.
    Since the shuffle still appears in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore in case the cause is related to corrupted software on the shuffle.  The Restore button is on the shuffle's Settings screen in iTunes.  This will erase the shuffle, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.
    Also, when the light becomes red and the shuffle stops playing, try turning OFF the shuffle for at least ten seconds.  Then, turn it back ON.  This resets the shuffle.  Does it play again?  If it does, let it play until it no longer plays again.  Repeat turning it OFF and ON until it no longer plays.  Then, connect it to power and charge it to full.  See if that makes any difference.
    If that does not help, the solution is to replace the battery.  If you have a repair shop do it, the cost is probably uneconomical, compared to the cost of a brand new 4th gen shuffle ($50) that has more features, and a new set of headphones, plus a one-year warranty.

  • 30 GB iPod, Freezes whenever I play video

    I've played video on my iPod flawlessly for the last year, but now it freezes up whenever I try to play video. It plays music fine, and I've restarted, reinstalled, ect. Anyone have any ideas?

    I have had the same issue for months and now it seems the only way I can play videos is to create them in Handbrake and NOT to download them from I tunes. I posted this messae a number of weeks ago:
    I have a 60 GB 5th Generation IPod. Downloaded Season 5 of 24 from ITunes Store and was unable to load them on Ipod unless I updated to Software Version 1.2.1. Did that. Loaded videos.
    Go to play the first episode and it freezes. Needs to be restarted. Freezes again in the same place. Can fast forward past the place that it freezes and let it play. Freezes again...in a new place..and will continue to freeze in the same places. Restored to earlier verion of software but would not let me load the downloaded videos. Restored to 1.2.1 and only loaded a few episodes (wipe my IPod clean of everything else.) Still same problem.
    By the way, the same files play fine on my computer (not my Ipod), just fine.
    I downloaded and PAY for a new file of Season 5 Episode 1 and guess what...it freezes at the exact same place. Try to tell Apple that there is a problem with my file and they tell me they are sorry that I am having trouble with my file but to check the online forums. So I did...and guess what..
    LOTS of people are having trouble with ITunes and video files freezing on 5th Generation IPods.... so whats the deal? I can't go back to previous versions of the software and I have $ 40 worth of downloads that don't play..
    Will Apple admit there is a problem or is there a fix here that I'm missing?

  • IPod Touch 2G Freezes Whenever Headphones Are Not Plugged In

    A few months ago, my iPod Touch 2G (8GB) was having problems with the headphone jack (sound would only come out of one side of the headphones). I was still in warranty and I sent it in to Apple. They sent me back an iPod (I'm not sure if it's the same one I had or a new one) that no longer had that headphone jack problem and apparently worked fine. Over the next couple of months I noticed that the iPod will freeze consistently. If no headphones are plugged in then it will freeze almost instantly when I try to do something such as running an app or playing music. It usually works fine with headphones plugged in, but on occasion it will freeze when I try to adjust the volume. I checked my serial on the apple website and was told that my warranty had run out. I thought it to be a firmware issue or something but I've restored it several times and the problem still occurs. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

    When restoring an iPod to factory settings/new iPod fails to resolve a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Ipod to tv slide show and play music

    It's the new 80g ipod which I have, is there somthing that I am doing wrong, is it possible to do both any help would be great
    thanks

    Hi
    I have an Ipod80G as well.
    But I find it impossible to see a slideshow on my tv-set .
    Can you tell me the connections and settings to obtain a slide-show with music on my tv-set. I don't have a dockingstation with SVHS or audio connection.
    What type of cables do I need to see my slide-show with music like you said you could obtain without a docking mount on your own tv-set?

  • IPod Photo 4G color frozen when playing music... HOW DO I FIX IT????

    I have an iPod photo and today i was just playing music and all of a sudden, it just randomly froze! I've been looking at all troubleshooting places and iPod frozen forums but they dont help. It's happened before, actually like twice. Last time it happened, I had to wait a day or two while it was frozen then it shut off and I restarted it from the power plug. I'm dissapointed and I wish it never happened because I love to listen to music. Please Help!!!

  • Ipod nano 3rd generation doesn't play music and doesn't synchronize with itunes

    I have a ipod nano 3rd generation ( 8 GB) and it suddenly stopped playing music. The ipod doesn't  play music even if I choose another song and the ipod doesn't synchronize with itunes anymore. I did a reset of the ipod and I installed itunes new but the synchronization doesn't works.

    Get a flashlight and make sure there is no obstruction/dirt/debris in the Nano headphone jack. Be sure you plug the headphones all the way in, the plastic on the headset jack should be flush with the body of the Nano.
