Ipod Touch 4th gen has no sound except when headphones are plugged in

I have checked sound settings, reset the ipod, powered off, and synced it.  Still no sound except when the headphones are plugged in.  Any ideas?

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- 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.

    It Won't work what so ever Please Help

    - 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.

  • White iPod Touch 4th gen, has blotchy Screen, is this normal?

    Hello Everyone I have a white iPod Touch 4th gen that I've had since before Xmas. I have a problem with the display. Since I received my ipt, I have noticed that the screen is blotchy, that is most noticeable when viewing solid colours, is this normal? I have read that the adesive used to bind the glass to the screen can result in discolouration however, while this may be the cause of the blotchiness, it does not seem to be going away, I have not been able to find anyone with a similar problem, so would greatly appreciate some advice on the matter. many thanks in advance.

    It's like a bad paint job basically, the closer you get the worse it looks. The problem is that it's only noticeable under certain conditions. I tend to read iBooks in night mode and that's when it shows up the most, it can be quite distracting. I just wanted to see if this is normal before I take it in. Thank you very much.

  • My ipod 5th gen won't change volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can change the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    My ipod 5th gen won't let me adjust volume when headphones are plugged in, but when they are not I can adjust the volume on the speaker.  How do I fix this?

    Try a hard reset of the Nano. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
    I assume you have double checked to make sure you are plugging the headset all the way in meaning the white part of the headset is flush with the body of the Nano?

  • My ipod touch 5th gen has no sound through usb hookup-car

    I Have a kenwood ddx 370 touch screen HU installed in my car, and i can'y get sound from my speakers when its in ipod mode, and the wires are plugged in to the HU. I used to own a iphone 4, and a iphone 4s that both worked. now this issue is strange with not getting sound, as everything else works.
    it charges, it is recognized by the HU, displays all the album art song etc, but just not hearing the sound.
    my radio, xm radio cd and all that work fine. its strange how the phone does everything on the radio but have sound coming out of speakers. when i just use the aux cable i get the sound, but none from usb/ipod option. anyone familiar with this, and how to fix this?
    i just got the ipod touch no even a week ago either, and it was brand new.

    Does Kenwood say it will work with a 5G iPod (or iiPhone 5)?

  • My daughters iPod touch 4th gen has been disabled from her locking it with a password,forgetting the password,and now it says disabled connect to iTunes .  The problem is the computer it was set up on is no longer operational.

    I tried to use iCloud to restore but she never set up iCloud. I tried to wipe it with find my iPhone but she never set that up. I put the iPod into recovery mode and connected it to an iTunes account on a different computer but it does not pick up the iPod. When I connect it to iTunes not in recovery mode it says to unlock the iPod before it can connect to iTunes. I don't know where to go from here besides blowing it up or putting it in a microwave. Please help. Thank you.

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen has no songs/incomplete songs after Syncing?

    So I recieved an iPod Touch for my birthday:
    After syncing the music into my iPod manually, the music is shown to be in my iPod on iTunes, but when I go on my iPod and push on the Music Ap, it says there's no music. When the music did sometimes show up on my iPod it was incomplete and most of the song was cut off. I also cannot restore my iPod it becomes frozen and I have to continue it on another computer.
    I can sync apps, etc on to my iPod but not music. I've looked at countless threads where people had this problem, many remained unsolved, I tried what was told where the problem was fixed (playing the music from my iPod on iTunes, then resyncing, etc), still not fixed.
    On the other hand if I use my sister's computer and sync her music, it works?
    My sister cannot get music off my computer on to her iPod either, so I'm pretty sure it's not my iPod.
    I honestly do not want to put all my songs on to a relatives computer just to put songs on my iPod it's too much of a hassle (it works, it's just too much work), I do not want to do that everytime I want more music. I want to sync music on my computer.
    Is there a solid solution to this problem?
    I apologize for the complain, but I am extremely frustrated.
    Things I've tried:
    -Reinstalling iTunes, restoring the iPod, resyncing, replaying music on iTunes off iPod, updating iPod, updating iTunes, checking Sync Music box, manually adding music.
    I also have Windows 7 if that helps.
    Thanks in advance to those who can help!

    Try resetting the iPod.
    Next would be to restore from backup
    Finally, restore to factoery defaults/new iPod.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen has the white screen of death and won't connect to iTunes to restore.

    I was updating from iOS 6 beta 1 to beta 2 when my ipod froze up and started showing the white screen of death. I've tried the trick where you hold the power and home button for ten seconds and tried to put it in DFU mode to restore. None of these tricks work and my screen is still white. Also I plug it into my Windows Vista computer with iTunes 10.6.3 but it wont show up. I really need help. I don't have warranty or money to buy a new one. My grandmother will heartbroken if $200 goes down the drain.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen no sound!

    My Ipod Touch 4th gen has no sound!!!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
