IPod Touch 5th Generation randomly plays static!!

Hello! I'm in a bit of a predicament on this fine night. My iPod 5 has begun to play static. That's it. Music turns into static. System sounds turn into static. Earpods work fine. The iPod was JUST working before... I don't know what happened...

- 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.

  • Mi ipod touch 5th generation randomly turned off and it wont turn back on or charge. what should i do?

    hi!
    i have the ipod touch 5th generation and last night i was using like i normally do,but the it just turned off and i thought that my battery died so i put it to charge but im pretty sure that my battery was at least 40% so i found that a little bit odd and when i plug it in it didnt make any sound and nothing showed on the screen. I kind of just ignored it so i let it charge the whole night and the next morning when i woke up the firts thing i did was to check on it. My ipod still wont turn on or charge and tried to connected to my computer but nothing shows up. i will really appreciate if someone could help me.
    thank you (:

    - 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

  • My iPod touch 5th generation shuts down randomly??

    My iPod touch 5th generation will randomly shut down out of the blue, and when it does it has these strange vertical multicolored stripes that show up, the screen turns dark, and then it turns off. It then turns itself back on. It will do this when I'm in the middle of scrolling through a web page, or typing a message, or listening to music, or anything really. It will do this sometimes three or four times during an hour. It will also not keep time. Whether I set it manually or automatically, it will change to the current time but not keep time regularly. There are no cracks or dings in the screen or back, and I always have it in a case. It started doing this a couple weeks ago, and I have no idea why. I've tried resetting it to the factory settings and then redownloading all my apps and music and pictures, but it's still not working. Any help would be appreciated.

    If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • HT4363 Ipod touch 5th generation plays only audio of videos

    Hi,
    My new Ipod touch 5th generation that was released in October  2012 does not play video images in tv through Apple tv. It plays the audio of the video, but no images. How can I get it to play you tube videos with images? My Ipad has no problem connecting with the Apple tv and videos play without an issue. Help please!!
    Regards

    Agreed, but the dents are extremely minor, its not like the entire case is cracked and its coming off, or the screens broken. It's just a slight chip. And ispite it being so minor they have declined the replacement.

  • On my ipod touch 5th generation i cannot connect to the internet i did every step in the help section. I reset the wifi, I turned the wifi off and on and still nothing. I even tried to put it in manually but still couldnt connect

    The product i am using is a Ipod touch 5th Generation, version 8.1. On friday i had laid my ipod on my jacket which was laying on my mom truck and i went to play basketball. So when i got back it was off, at first i thought it died but the ipod was cold. It wasnt turning on i put it on the charger and it still wouldnt turn on. So i kept it on the charger all night and in the morning (saturday 10/25/14) it turned back on. So i went to the wifi to connect to my home wifi and it said no wifi is found. So i reset the network settings on my ipod and turned off the wifi box for 30 seconds then turned both back on and it still said theres no wifi. I followed every step but it still doesnt show any wifi. I tried to enter it manually but it keep saying "Could not find the network". But when i do it on my brothers phone it works. Can someone please help me get wifi back on my Ipod touch. I did all the steps but still nothing work.

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Then:
    Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?

    - 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

  • Full automatic Itunes synchronization impossible for a brand new Ipod touch 5th generation

    Hey all,
    I bought a brand new Ipod Touch 5th generation which won't synchronize my whole music library through Itunes (very latest version of the app).
    The ipod runs IOS8 and the mac mini runs Yosemite latest version.
    I already had issue synchronizing music the very 1st day I had the Ipod touch. As a result, went back to the Apple store for changing it for another device, thinking the Ipod was faulty, which Apple accepted and changed my device for a brand new one.
    Since then, still unable to synchronize the full music library through itunes. I performed several full resets both on the mac mini and of the Ipod touch with no success. The synchronization seems to run fully normally with no warning pop up saying it failed or whatsoever and the sync process is very very long. But once done, my Ipod remains empty with no data at all.
    The weird thing is that Photos are fully synchronized with no issue at all.
    I contacted the Apple assistance who argued that my music library might be faulty and have corrupted files in it. So I cleaned it up, suppressing some files I had in double etc.
    BUT still, no success, I had to go through the entire library to sync manually, but even then, I was able to have on the device, only half of the library, i.e. around 25 go. once the ipod display 25 to 30 gb remaining, it won't sync no more files.
    Although I cleaned up the entire library and reset both devices hundreds of times, I have no clue why even manually, I'm completely unable to have my whole library automatically sync.
    I spent hours on the phone with Apple assistance to get some help with no success so far. I even re-installed Itunes completely, still without any result at all.
    I was only able to upload on the Ipod only half of the music library, and there are still 25 to 30 GB space remaining on the ipod and 20GB of music to be uploaded.
    The automatic sync process always fails any time I try to run it, except for the photos, books etc.
    I must say I also have an 160 GB Ipod classic with which I never had any problem so far, and which fully sync my whole library with no issue at all.
    I read on the internet that some other users of IOS8 are accountering the same issue with itunes.
    COULD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, I'M DESPERATE, given the price of the Ipod I really do regret I bought something that does not work properly. Quite disappointed

    Yes the system just keep sync as everything is normal, but then no song is actually uploaded to the ipod.
    And the remaining space bar shows the ipod's empty.
    the automated process will just keep sync as if normal and the last step saying 'applying the modifications" just keep going on and never ends.
    I was only able to upload manually half of the albums, all songs comes from different sources; ripped from CD for great part, but also downloaded from the internet from trusted websites.
    All songs play normally through Itunes on the Mac Mini.
    But then when trying to sync the whole library automatically, nothing happens and I only get tags of the different albums, as if there, but actually it won't play none and the Ipod player just keep skipping as if no musical data is there.

  • IPod touch 5th generation deleted over 2000 of my songs

    Hi. I rarely resort to forums like this to fix a problem but I can't seem to find anyone who's had the same issue.
    Today I connected my iPod touch 5th generation to my Windows 8.1 PC to sync some songs onto it. I ripped some of them from a CD, others I got from Home Sharing with my brother. I tried to sync 12 songs to my iPod. At first, it looked like 8 of them had synced correctly, not greyed out or empty bubbles. I tried to add the rest and they refused to sync. All the songs from Home Sharing refused to sync to my iPod.
    I tried something I normally try after an issue like this occurs - I select all the songs I've downloaded/ripped/gotten from homeshare and right click and select Create MP3 Version. I have my import settings as MP3 because I have other devices that also use my ripped music. I deleted the original versions after the new copies were made and moved them to recycle bin. Deleted the greyed out songs from my iPod and all the ones i'm trying to resync, and put the new versions on. It got stuck on syncing for about 20 minutes, making me late for something so I canceled the sync, ejected it, and unplugged it.
    Got into my car, plugged my iPod into the AUX cable on my stereo, and my iPod started skipping all of the songs I had put on. I tried another playlist to see if it was corrupted music files, and it does this for nearly every song on my iPod. I have a 64GB iPod touch, with over half the space still empty. 3760 songs. I put my iPod on shuffle to see if it would play anything, and it quickly skips about a hundred songs at a time, whether play or pause is selected, and won't stop till it gets to a song that decides it wants to play. I plugged it into my computer when I got back, and it tried to put 670-something songs back on my iPod, so I figure hey maybe it'll fix itself. Nope. Now when I open up my music app on my iPod it says I have 909 songs, and it won't sync new songs to it. I have tried soft resets. I take care of this iPod. Never dropped it, dented it, or anything. No damage of any kind this iPod is my baby. It is just freshly out of warranty and I also have music on here from multiple computers as we have 4 computers in my house and my old laptop which no longer functions due to a hardware error and there are some gaps between my iPod library and my iTunes library, so I haven't tried to restore it yet because I'm trying to save my music. At this point I feel a restore from backup is my best option.
    Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

  • I have an iPod Touch 5th generation and all of a sudden it started freezing on the lock screen.

    I have an iPod Touch 5th generation that I've had since Christmas 2012 and suddenly today (June 27) when I tried opening one of my apps it froze and then shut the app down. At first I thought it was the app, but then it started happening to Safari and my Photos app. By time I had gotten to work when I slid the bar over to unlock it, it froze and wouldn't do anything. I had tried turning it off, holding the lock button down and sliding the power off slide, but the screen went black instead of turning off. Every few minutes it would suddenly light back up on the lock screen but wouldn't do anything after I slid the thing to unlock it. Sometimes it would seem to turn itself back on (even though I wasn't aware it had turned off, the apple logo never showed up) from black to the loading page (black screen with little circle thing lighting up to show it's loading) to the lock screen which wouldn't do anything. The time is constantly on track and the wifi connectivity icon on the top bar even shows when there's wifi, I just can't do anything with it. I could double tap the Home button and the music bar would show up and the volume level would change through me touching the screen and through the volume buttons on the side, but it wouldn't play anything. I also can hold the Home button and Siri shows up but then I can't actually speak anything to it.
    I've managed to connect it to my computer and back it up to iCloud and on my computer and am trying to restore it right now, but I would like to know what's wrong with it. I've had it for about 7 months and have never had any issues with it like this before.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
