Ipod touch 5 headphone jack not working please help?

I have tried with multiple pairs of earbuds/ headphones. Either there will be audio in the left, or right, but usually never at the same time unless you twiddle with the headphone plug in. Sometimes there's no audio. I only got the ipod in December, so naturally I'm concerned that there's a problem.
If anyone has experienced anything like this, your help would be greatly appreicated. Also any help on how to fix it/ what I should do about it would be further appreicated.
Thanks so much!!

- 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
- 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 the iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost

Ipod touch 2g speakers not working Please help me!!!!!!

ok so i got my ipod for christmas the loud speaker has been working great. I dnt use it that often. Just 2 days ago, it stopped working. Like the clicking sound fro the keyboards, alarms, and even music wouldnt work. Today the clicking sound came back but went again. I tried a reset and restore. still nothing. I noticed that everytime i turn off the volume and i go to music or anything that involves volume, the volume automatically adjusts to full. i dnt know if this is normal. Please help me!!

I'm sorry for that but I guess you have to say good buy to your old friend...
I have just received my third iPod touch that already has some new problems just to annoy me(of the conection-prolems sort).
This is definetly a hardware problem! But you could try to be sure that nothing is left in your headphone jack. And your volume problem is weird but not unusual.
(Excuse my bad english please)
Oh and try to set the volume settings to adapt to one level.
Another reason could be a faulty volume rocker switch.

IPod Touch 16Gb Screen Not Responding - Please Help

I bought my 16Gb first gen iPod Touch in November 2007 and its been a champ ever since....until today.
For some reason the touch screen has just stopped responding to any commands (initially the slide to unlock worked but it wouldn't accept a password input and now it doesn't even allow the slide to unlock to work). It was on firmware 3.01 when it originally happened but I have since put it into DFU mode and updated to 3.12. Unfortunately this has made no difference to the problem and I've even tried downgrading to 2.2.1 but that process failed too.
Can anyone help?

i know this bug. -.-
my ipod had it too.
I sent it to a firma which repaired it.
besides here you can get a protect case for your ipod. ;D

Hi,
First, download the latest Synaptics driver installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp53501-54000/sp53857.exe
Next, open windows Control Panel, open Programs and Features, right click the entry 'Synaptics Pointing Device Driver' and select Uninstall.
When this has completed, restart the notebook.
When windows has fully reloaded, open your Downloads folder, right click the Synaptics installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, restart the notebook again.
You may now need to enable scrolling again - this is described under the sub-heading 'Adjust horizontal and vertical scrolling' on This Document.
Regards,
DP-K

HT1320 i have tried all of the above to reset my 30gb ipod but its still not working, please help

Hi, i have a ipod classic, it now wont turn on or do anything, i have charged it, toggled the HOLD button and tried all the suggested press and hold, but nothing. Ive tried conecting it to the computer via a USB cable again nothing, its not even showing on my Itunes account when thats turned on.
Any one got any ideas, TIM

Have you left the iPod to charge for a couple of hours and then tried resetting it again? It can take up to at least 30 minutes of charging before an iPod with a dead battery shows any signs of life. By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?

My ipod touch headphone jack do not work when I plug in any headphones to it. How do I get to listen on headphones with my IPod touch?

You likely have a problem with the headphone jack. You jhave to ways to listen to music via headphones:
- Get the jack fixed. Here is one place:
DigiExpress.us - The iPad Repair Professionals
However first I wold rule out a software problem by try the following:
Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
The other way is to use bluetooth headhone if you have a 2G or later iPod.

HT5467 My location services in iPod Touch 5 is not working. Any help?? I really want to fix this issue.

My location services in iPod Touch 5 is not working. Any help?? I really want to fix this issue.

You do have it turned on ins settings>Privacy, right?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
You can confirm that by going to place with a know located router like Starbucks or McDonalds

An iPhone backup to a computer via iTunes stores the photos in a backup file that is only meant to be be used if needed to restore back to the phone. There is 3rd party "extractor" software available but otherwise the photos are not directly viewable.
The backup via iTunes was a good idea and your Camera Roll photos should be there and should be able to be restored to your new phone. However if it was me I wouldn't rely on that alone. I would also import the photos to a computer where you can see and verify that you have a copy. That is a good idea at any time (not just when you know you might need it). Any phone can be lost, broken, suffer hardware issues, etc at any time and lose all data on it. Following is a link with information on how to import the photos to a computer: Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support

My Ipod touch apps are not working.

My Ipod touch apps are not working. They attempt to appear but it seems like something is stopping them. They show up for less than a second then dissappear. Also all of my synced music dissappeared as well. I'm not sure if that is something in common?? I've tried resetting my ipod. I never link it to a computer, and that is why I synced my music from a friend. Please help me!

Sorry I mean that I reset my settings. I havent reset the whole i pod. I want to try to keep all of my apps.
