IPod Touch 5th gen headphone jack and battery not working properly

Yesterday my iPod touch 5th gen's battery started draning at an incredible rate. Won't last longer then 1 or 2 hours now. And add onto it the headphone jack stopped working properly. It's now only plays in one ear, it's all static over the sound it's supposed to play. I baby my iPod. This all happened out of the blue. What do I do to fix it?

Saraa22 , the same recommendation was given over a year earlier:
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.

If anyone has this same problem with their Ipod touch 5g headphone jack. I found a way to fix it. I did everything of the above but nothing actually worked . But this is what worked!
First reset your Ipod by pressing down the on/off button and the home button at the same time for 10 seconds until you see the apple icon
Then after it turns back on : Go to settings then press on general. Then press on accessibility and scroll down and make sure MONO AUDIO is on!
This will definitely fix the problem.

IPod touch 5th Gen Headphone Jack

I contacted the 2 points on the left side of the headphone jack on the iPod touch 5th Gen with a pin when I was probing in there. Did I short circuit anything or am i just paranoid.
Thanks

If it works fine now then likely nothing damaged.
If problems now but not before then you likely damaged it.

My iPod touch 5th gen went black and is not being recognized by my computer?

My iPod touch 5th gen was working perfectly fine about an hour ago i was taking pictures talking to my friends. I had it in my pocket for about 30 mins without using it and when I went to grab and check on it went completely back and I thought it was dead but I remembered it was charged more than half way. When I got home I plugged it in my computer and it doesn't appear on my computer what do I do?

Dang, if you had a Windows, I'd definitely be able to help you. Maybe try restarting your computer, & re-installing the Apple Mobile Device Support & iTunes under your "programs" on your computer settings. Idk if this helps because I have Windows not Mac :/ Best of luck.

My ipod touch (5th gen) shut off and its not turning back on. what do i do?

My iPod touch was half way charged when left to school. then when I came back I thought it was turned off but when I clicked my home button a couple of times I noticed that there was something wrong. I tried to hold the power button, I tried to hold the home and power button at the same time but nothing was working. Please I need help. I am open to any options.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod Touch 5th gen RED product and Beats Pill disconnects

My iPod Touch 5th gen, RED product keeps disconnecting from my Beats Pill. I thought it was the Pill so I sent it back to the manufacturer, twice. Finally got a new Pill with the new firmware from them but the iPod Touch RED won't work. Boyfriend tested his regular iPod Touch 5th gen and my iPhone 5 with the Pill and they run for hours. iPod Touch RED disconnects within one song. SO annoying and I have no idea what the fix is. Help!

How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes. Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails. I've only owned it for 9 months or so. I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased. The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data. Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work. Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help. Thanks much.

You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
or
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 and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
There is not other way

Ipod touch 5th gen wont sync when battery is fully charged

1. My ipod touch will sync just fine if it is currently charging (ie on its way to a full battery).
2. If however it gets fully charged and the sync is not complete it will stop the sync cold, eject the ipod, reconnect, and attempt the whole process again (ipod backup, check what needs to be synced, begin syncing).
3. It never gets all the way through the subsequent sync attempts as the battery charge complete indication on the ipod screen comes up periodically and we go back to step 2 every time.
Any suggestions, questions, or concerns about my method or settings I could change would be greatly appreciated?

Reboot coputer
Try another USB port
Try another cable

IPod Touch 5th gen suddenly has terrible battery life after updating to ios 8.0.2!

I updated to ios 8.0.2 around 2 weeks ago and bam! the next day I wake up and use my ipod (I usually leave it on during the night, and battery is still good) and it's down to 50%, then to 20% later! And now the battery is terrible! it goes down much faster than before! I have bluetooth and all the battery killer stuff off before, so my battery was really good...and now it's horrible!
Have you guys experienced this? Any solutions? Is this some bug?

Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

My iPod touch 4th gen 8GB hot and does not charge

Help!!! My iPod will only get real hot on the back and will not take a charge when trying to charge it. I have already had the battery switched out so I know that's not the issue.
thank you

Then that means a problem with the logic board. Typically it is best to purchase a used iPod.

Playing gangstar vegas on an ipod touch 5th gen always lagging and the graphics are not smooth sometimes the ipod is too like when typing it will show the letter a second after i touched it,i will not purchase other apps if this continues will this problem be covered by the warranty

Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
Next as necessary:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB Camera

My friend has the iPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB version with back camera and was purchased when it was released,
I want to buy the iPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB version and now it seems Apple has removed the back camera on the 16GB version, is there anywhere I can buy the 16GB version with back camera brand new?

The 5G iPod was originally introduced with 32 and 64 GB capacities. Both had front and back cameras. At that time a 16 GB 4G (poorer cameras and other things) was also released. This year a 1g GB 5G withour back camera was released.There was never a 1g GB 5G with both camera.
