IPod Touch? 3+ yrs old

Screen goes black after opening a App., or it goes back to the home page or both.  Battery is fully charged.  Is it time to replace it or can it be fixed at a reasonable price?

First, try the usual steps: restart, reset, restore.

If that doesn't help - and try a restore to factory settings if restoring from a backup doesn't work - then your iPod may have a hardware problem. Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
Whether that price would be worth it for a three-year-old iPod or it would be better to put that money toward a new iPod is something you'll have to decide for yourself.

  • I have a new macbook pro running lion and want to update the software on my ipod touch. My old macbook ran 10.4.11 and won't update - but the new computer says I have to update on the computer I normally sync on or my music will be lost. Solution?

  • How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud

    How do I get content from my old iPod Touch to my new iPhone 5?  My iPod Touch is too old to use iCloud. I have activated the phone but am stick at the point of the set-up where my 3 choices are:
    1. Set up as new phone
    2.  Restore from icloud Backup
    3.  Restore from iTunes Backup
    thanks!

    If your iPod touch music is in your iTunes library, you just need to sync the new iPod nano with iTunes, the songs will be transfer to your new iPod. If not, you can follow this guide to transfer the songs from iPod touch to iTunes first, and then re-sync them to your new iPod. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • How do I track an old (stolen) ipod touch if I already synced a new ipod touch with the old information without knowing it would not allow me to track my old ipod but my new one instead?

    I lost my iPod touch (4th generation) over a week ago and did not think I installed the icloud on it. When I was setting up my new iPod touch (4th generation),
    I saw that it automatically shows an option for icloud. That made me realize that I probably did install icloud in my old ipod. The problem is that I synced my old ipod with my new ipod on the computer. I thought if I didn't I would loose all of my old infomation. So now evertyime I use the app to find my iPod, it finds my new one. It shows only one device located under it. Is there a way I could find the old iPod? Or could I restore my new iPod and find the old one that way? I'm afraid if I restore it I would loose all my information from my old ipod.

    That makes no difference in finding/tracking your lost/stolen device.
    The old device will only show up in icloud.com 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. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Sync new iPod Touch 4G to old iPod Touch 2G Library

    When my new 4G iPod Touch arrives any day now, I'd like to sync it with my current 2G iPod Touch library. That is, I'd like to transfer all the data, apps, playlists, settings, etc. from my current 2G iPod Touch library to the new 4G iPod Touch. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? (Once the new iPod Touch is set up, the old iPT will no longer be used. I plan to reset/wipe it and possibly sell, so I have no need to sync both of them to the same library...)
    Thanks!

    I wanted to let you know that I had the same concern and everything worked well EXCEPT the Apps transferring. It turns out that if you bought your apps directly through your old iPod Touch and not through the computer than you will have an issue with App data transfering over. Here's what to do.
    1)connect your OLD iPod Touch to the computer, back it up, and disconnect.
    2)connect your NEW iPod Touch to the computer and go through start up.
    3)you should then be prompted to restore from back up or set up as new ipod (if not simply right click on the listed new device on iTunes and select restore from backup and click on recent backup)
    4)All of your settings will now be the same as they were on your old iPod but you will NOT see your Apps (however all of the data from your old apps is on your new iPod just not where you can see it)
    5) Lastly, go to the App Store on your NEW iPod and download your old apps. (even if they cost money, it will not make you pay because it will recognize you have data from previous app on your iPod)

  • I cannot log into my YouTube account on my old iPod Touch with the old YouTube app

    A few days ago i tried to log into the old YouTube app and it said that my information was incorrect. Ive tried all my usernames and passwords and nothing works. I have the old iPod Touch and havent upgraded to the newest operating system. I have tried downloading the new YouTube app with no success due to the old operating system. Ive tried my old username and password before i had to put in my Google info. Nothing has been working. I really dont want to have to buy another iPod just to watch videos because thats the only think i can do with my iPod now. Its in great shape considering its age and no physical damage at all. It just stopped logging me into YouTube and i dont know what to do. If someone could help me resolve my problem id greatly appreciate it.

    I have the same problem few days before but solved.
    If your google account has set up 2-step verification, switch it off and restart the youtube on your ipad/ipod/iphone devices. then u can log in.
    Hope this can solve your problem

  • New iPod touch...OLD iMac.

    I'm about to order one of the new cool iPod touches with The HD video camera. But I have an old G5 iMac with osx 5.4.11 so it's not compatible.
    I plan to use the new iPod to record video on a trip I'm about to go on, so I don't need to sync my music to it. I can use my old iPod for music for now.
    My question is will the iPod require me to hook it up to s Mac to first use it? If so, can I just bring it into an apple store and have them activate it there? I have a mobile me account and apple ID.
    I do plan to get a new iMac when I come back from my trip next year, I just wanted to be able to use the new iPod for shooting video now.
    Thanks for answering my question.

    Also, I have an iPad but not with OSI 4 installed. So will I be able to hook up my née iPod touch which has osi4 to transfer over video clips and pics? Both devices don't have to have the same osi installed right? I don't think so....just wanted to be sure. Thanks again.

  • Ipod touch 4 days old - not being recognised now on apple mac.  What is going on?

    I am totally disappointed with this Ipod.  I had it all set up a few days ago, which we had to do at home ourselves due to requiring our current passwords etc.   Today it is not recognised on the Apple Mac and the Apple ID cannot be found - it took too long to find it. The Itunes server is not recognised and for some reason I cannot find new updates for either product.  They both appear to be up to date.  Waste of my time.  I have spent hours trying to find out what is wrong with it,   I bought this in Perth at the only Apple Store last Saturday.  I have purchased itunes music and this was successfully downloaded to mu ipod a few days ago.  Last night I downloaded my CD's to the itunes library and haven't been able to put these onto my Ipod.  What is going on?????  I though Apple was a fairly straight forward reliable brand of product.  Your support page is not helping me at present.

    I have contacted Apple support on the above issues and will have to follow it up with them as it is more involved than what I have listed. Our Apple Mac laptop is not downloading the updates for software.  The iTunes site does not recognise the "server" (comes up with a message saying this) and apparently this is a known problem.  The Mac needs to have a more current iTunes update but as the computer won't install the updates (goes through all the motions from the software update on the apple icon at top right hand corner of page) , I can't use my iPod on the computer to get my CD songs that are downloaded onto the itunes library site (don't know how to get these either) and it doesn't appear to recognise my iPod touch.
    I also couldn't log in to the Apple site this morning, but later on at about lunchtime I could!  Bizarre.  Of course I haven't had any problems logging into this site with my password and ID at all today. 
    So, lllaass, I am going to try Apple support again via the phone and see what happens....I have a job number to quote them when I call them back.  Thanks for your suggestions - I am definitely not an IT whiz, but I do know that my iPOD did work forthe first day or so.

  • Can I use a  new ipod touch in an old dock/speaker system

    I will be in the states soon and thinking of getting and I pod touch the 5th edition. However I have an older dock/speaker system and wonder will it work in it. I have heard that you have to buy an adaptor. Is this true and are they easy to get and how expensive are they. Also is there any issue with buying one in the states and using it in Europe

    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD823ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter?fnode=72
    is the lightning to 30 pin adapter. There are some third party ones out there, but not a ton. If you go for a third party one go for a name brand not a no name generic.
    If you want to buy one, look for a retailer with a good return policy so if it doesn't work you can take it back.
    As to world wide use, shouldn't be a problem. The only thing you need to worry about is making sure you have a plug adapter if your charger is rated for world wide voltage, or making sure you have a charger that can handle the world wide variances in power. (Usually rated 100-240V in the specs)
