Ipod touch 5th generation overheating and now sound is not working properly

Got an ipod touch 5th gen a few days ago and it has been working well for the first few days, then last night it came up with an 'overheat' message and turned itself off. I was surprised as it wasn't working particularly hard when it overheated, just plugged into a speaker system playing an audiobook. After cooling down and recharging the battery, I was able to turn the ipod back on again, but realised this morning when I tried to watch a video on it that there was no sound coming from the internal speaker. Also when headphones are plugged in the sound is really crackly. (the level of crackle changes when you change the volume - it is most crackly in the middle of the volume range and clearer when it is louder). Before it overheated, it had none of these issues. Also, it now seems to take longer to charge the battery, and the battery doesn't seem to hold it's charge as long. Is there anything I can do at home to fix these issues (as we live in a remote area)?

Try the following but I thing your iPod is defective
- 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.
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store if it still does not work OK

My ipod touch fourth generation keyboard and unlock button are not working

my ipod touch fourth generation was working at one moment and then when i went to unlock the screen and type in the passcode it would not let me swype the unlock button and when i turned it off and back on again and the passcode section popped up it would only let me type the 1, 2, and 3 buttons and now it is not letting me type at all. What do i need to do? The screen is also cracked but when i cracked the screen i was still able to see what i was doing and still able to use the ipod but this was before the keyboard and unlock button stopped working, I dont know if the screen being cracked would have anything to do with the keyboard and unlock button not working. PLEASE HELP ME

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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. Could be the crack progressed to the point thtt portions of the screen no longer respond to touch

I don't know what to do since no one I know is traveling to the US in the near future.

Ipod Touch 5th Generation overheated now wont turn on

I have the ipod touch 5th generation. When I charge my ipod i always leave it alone and often have a battery app open. Today however when I was charging my ipod it overheated and now won't turn on. I have left it and it has completely cooled down but still wont do anything. Please help me if you have any idea on what to do. I have tried to restart it and put it into recovery but it wont do anything. when i connect it to the computer it doesn''t show up in itunes or in my computer and nothing will come up on the screen of the ipod. I don't have an apple store near me so would be happy for any advice that could help.

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

However, I suspect a hardware problem based on the heating and the Genius Bar is very likely required. If you iPod is defective and not abused you will walk out with a replacement.

IPod Touch 5th Gen Overheating and Wont Turn On

I got my new iPod Touch 5th gen today from best buy. I turned it on, got it all set up, then left it charging for about 30-40 minutes. While I was looking through the features I felt it getting warmer and warmer. Eventually the touchscreen would stop responding for a minute and sometimes shut off. Now whenever I turn it on, it shows the apple logo and then shuts off completely. And when I put it on the charger, it just flashes the apple logo(I presume this is from the charger trying to turn it on, and the ipod turning itself off automatically).
I really want this to be fixed soon because I would like to use this over some long airplane trips i have.

Please help. I cant do anythin!

My iPod touch's lock/hold and volume buttons do not work, my WiFi also does

My iPod has done this for quite a while and the hold button and volume button (no matter how hard or long pressed) does not work. When I go to settings and look at the WiFi button it won't even let me touch it and it says "No WiFi" even when there is. My warranty has run out though and I don't want to have to pay a lot to repair it. Any help?

I would first try resetting your 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.
Next would be restoring it from backup via iTunes in your computer.

Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
Thanks

What wattage adapter do I use on my ipod touch 5th generation 16gb?

I'm getting a new adapter for my ipod touch 5th generation 16gb, and I don't know what wattage adapter to use with it and what not to use

Do you mean a wall charger?
The min is 500 mA (1/2 amp) (2.5 watts) at about 5 volts DC. Most are 1000 mA (5 watts) or higher and those are acceptable. I use a iPad charger that puts out 2.4 amps (12 watts)

My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything.

My iPod touch 5th generation isn't working. I plugged it in last night to charge and now its not turning on or responding to anything. It used to do this thing where it would freeze when it was 100% charged and plugged in and I was using it. I'd just unplug it, restart it (home button and top button) and then it would be fine. That had happened like 5 hours prior to me plugging it in again and then it going totally blank.

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