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.

    - You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost.  See:
    How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
    - You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup.  However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music.  You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

    On my iPhone 4S, my headphones are not plugged in and yet I still have  no sound from the phone receiver.

  • IOS 5 is causing my 3rd Gen. Ipod touch to freeze, slow down and not load music

    On I-tunes I have been adding music but it doesn't work and my ipod is extrememly slow to react when I touch something, like a 3 second delay. It also says that I have 3.5 gb full of "Other" stuff, what is that "other" stuff? Also my games won't open. Can I change the software back or do I need a new I-pod?

    Mine was a normal size then when some apps crashed and burned and in the midst of synch and such, got to be 3.5GB and finally 4.1GB.
    At that point I tried - or it did I should say - when I moved to another computer.
    Using Wifi to sync and restore is slow and terrible. What takes 30 minutes turned into 4 hours and counting.
    Using the cloud may someday make sense and WORK better but for me, I have one ID and 3-4 computers (varies) and 4 are authorized. And I just want to stop wasting time on iOS / Cloud / iTunes and be able to use my device and my media if I want.
    Twitter integration sounded great, but i use UberTwitter and other apps, and those are not "integrated" and prefer my default browser Opera. Or maybe iCab Mobile. But there is no such thing as "switching" default Twitter or browsers. Yes. TwitterDeck is also nice and each 'twit app has its own features and strengths. Why they can't be primary. Need a new free-browser-from-OS again.
    I added one or two apps on iPod that when I then connected to iTunes would cause the iPod to dismount until I deleted them from the iPod.
    There are compatiblity issues with apps + iTunes + devices.
    Could also contrubute to expanded size of Other.

  • My Ipod Touch Shake & Steering Functions (motions) are not working

    I have had my ipod touch 32gb for 3 months now and in the last 48 hours, my shake function & steering function in apps & song shuffle and pretty much any motion function has stopped working. I am not getting any error messages either. I have turned off the ipod touch and turned off on these functions and nothing changes.
    Can anyone help me ?
    Thanks.

    Do a restore through iTunes. Skip the restore as new option and restore from the last backup point. This should fix it but if it persists, it could be a hardware problem which will require Apple's attention.

    If it happens with another set of headphones then the headphone jack in the iPod needs replacing.  Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for  this price:

    Further to my question, when I plug in and select my iPad 2 I don't have the same problem.  I have restored the settings on my iPod Touch and updated both iTunes and iPod Touch software and restarted my iPod touch.  Nothing has made any difference.

  • Second generation ipod touch and problems with headphone jack.

    Hello!
    I have a second generation ipod touch that is experiencing headphone jack problems.  Everytime that I plug any sort of headphones in all it does is make weird noises and only let me hear background parts of the music.  I have even tried replacing the headphones that i was using and it still does the same thing.  The only way to hear all of the song is to push the headphones to the left and hold it there otherwise nothing works.  I even talked to some of my friends that have the 2nd generation ipod touch and they have the same problem.  Is there an issue with the 2nd generation ipod that people are not informed about?

    No.
    My 2G, passed along to my brother now, is just fine after nearly 3 years of daily use and it's share of hard knocks.
    I didn't just "get lucky" either .
    A search of this forum will show that what you've described does happen but it's not common.
    You need a 3rd party , like iPod Doctor, to tell you and your friends what happened and how to avoid it in the future.
    I doubt it will make sense to repair a 2G iPod since it can no longer be updated but ask anyway.
