IPod Touch 8GB 1st Gen squealing kind of sound problem.

I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch 8GB and recently it's been making a really bad squealing noise whenever a sound is emitted from the device and when I listen to music or watch Youtube the sound just crackles and dies and is overtaken by this squealing noise and then just yesterday the squealing died down and no sound comes out of it at all now.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I hope the inbuilt speaker hasn't died for good cos I cannot afford to buy a new iPod at the moment.
I would appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Ben.

Do headphone work OK?
Try the standard fixes and move to the next one if sill problems.
- Reset:
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 via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

IPod Touch 8Gb 1st Gen Crashes and shuts off when using apps

When using Safari to browse the web, or using any application other than the music player, my iPod touch crashes and shuts off, often with a loud POP if I have my earbuds in my ears. When attempting to turn it back on, I get the standard Apple bootup logo, but then it crashes again a few seconds later. Sometimes, my ipod displays the battery meter after turning it back on, which indicates that the battery is nearly drained, even if the battery was completely full only minutes later. When using the music player or listening to an audiobook, it seems that my iPod can go all night long without incident, as I have fallen asleep with an audiobook playing, and have woken up the next morning to find it still playing.
I have performed a hard reset by holding both the power and the home button for 20 seconds or so, and have deleted and reloaded everything on my iPod twice, but I am still having problems. Any advice?

Mine does the exact same thing, it will not even turn on without being plugged into the computer (not even a charger). I usually have to restore it by manually sending it into restore mode.

Replacement iPod Touch 8GB (2nd Gen) beggining to fall apart after two months!

Well my problem is plain and simple
My first iPod touch (8GB 2nd Gen) was working perfectly fine until one day it slipped from my hands and the screen shattered. I took the iPod in to Best Buy and they overlooked the serial number and looked up my plan (product replacement plan) and they took it in and sent it out. They promised me a refurbished or a new iPod touch. They said it should take only about 5 days but it took two weeks, but in all fairness it was around a busy holiday seasons so i can understand the holdup. My Apple warranty was already up when i took the first iPod in for a replacement so i just used my product replacement plan. 2 weeks later i recieved my refurbished iPod in the mail, how could i tell it was refurbished, well for one the back of the iPod was void of any scratches but there was no Apple or "iPod" branding?! They also did not include the headphones used with current and past models, they shipped headphones that were changed years ago to a new design, i tested the headphones, and they were broken. I just said oh well and when i went to plug it in with the "new" cord they included i noticed there were stains all over it and i had to disinfect them (..yuck!) it made me certainly rethink even using the headphones in the first place. One thing that seemed odd to me was that it included OS 3.0 since 2nd gen iPods only ship with OS 2.2.1 and after checking the settings i confirmed it was in fact a sencond generation iPod Touch. After about a week of use i plugged in my headphones and i could only hear through one side, i unplugged them and replugged them and the problem was resolved and i thought it was a fluke, so i just disregarded it but its been a month now and since last week no matter what headphones i use i always get sound from the left channel. I was honestly furious that after only 1 month the ipod it starting to fall apart in front of me. I inspected the iPod closely and noticed that if held a certain way the glass on the lower right coner of the iPod begins to move around. The home button has also failed to respond quite a few times. Then when one day the external speaker started to begin to become flaky and sometimes not work at all, i just said "thats it!" im currently resetting the iPod to factory settings and putting a test sound on it for them to listen to and see the problem. In fact when i received it there was already a test sound on it so i presume there was a problem with the jack previously? I am repackiging everything and am off to geek squad tommorow, if there is any other advice to offer please let me know. Ive treated the iPod like a child after the first one shattered and the device has never been dropped, the screen and the back cover are spotless (minus the small scratches on the back chrome cover just from normal use) the iPod has never been near water and i checked the iPod to see if infact water could have gotten in the iPod and the sticker was still sparkling white, i am sorry Best Buy ive been a customer for years and while do not mean to rant and complain it has only been to months and its already falling apart?! i am sorry that is just not acceptable.

I just got my ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb replacement ipod in the mail two days ago. And i fell that my screen has cracked way to easily. I had my other ipod touch before this one for a year and a half and the screen had never been cracked. But my first two days with this "replacement" ipod has cracked twice. i am willing to take the blame for the first crack as i dropped it in the street and my case didnt do its job, but lasnight i put my hand in my sweatpants pocked only to find small peices of glass. i took out my ipod and there was the problem. a large shatter on the bottom near the homebutton. Seriously 2 cracks in 2 days with my REPLACEMENT after 360+ days and no cracks with my forsure APPLE ipod touch? I doubt my ipod touch screen is even made by apple.

I have i believe a iPod touch 8gb 2nd gen..how in the heck can i updrade it to get better apps.

i have a i believe a iPod touch 8gb 2nd gen..how do i updrade it to get more apps

iOS 4.2.1 is the last version of iOS that a 2nd-gen iPod touch can run. If the apps you want require a newer version of iOS, then you'll have to purchase a newer-model iPod.

My iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen, 6.1.3., has recently crashing and going slow. What should I do?

My iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen, 6.1.3., has recently been crashing/going slow in a lot of applications and while typing. It's also been failing to download/save images from Google Search. I'm thinking of either restarting/rebooting it or just buying a new one. What should I do?

My iPod Touch 8GB 3rd Gen is acting slow.

I just got my iPod Touch 8gb 3rd gen and it acts slow whenever I try to use youtube, mail, safari and whatever else that needs wi-if. I restored it twice, but no luck. What should I do?

Humor me: define slow. Slow as in a few seconds, or slow as in 30 seconds, or slow as in a minute or longer?

Laggy IPod touch 8gb 3rd gen?

Why is my itouch so laggy with iOs 4? Is apple going to fix this problem?

Hello MrWuggles,
I would first like to address that there is no true 8gb 3rd gen. Your ipod has the same hardware as the ipod touch 2nd gens but was preloaded with updated software when sold. Therefore it does not have multitasking like the other person said was your problem. Your ipod might be laggy with iOS 4 because the hardware is not as fast as the ipod touch 3rd gens(32gb/64gb) and 4th gens.
I have a 2nd gen and experienced lag using iOS 4.0 but it was definitely improved with iOS 4.1. Make sure your ipod is updated to 4.1. Then your problem should be solved. If it isn't you could always try a full restore to refresh your ipod, but this probably won't do much for you and should be used as a last effort.

IPod touch 8GB 3rd Gen?

Is there such thing as a 3rd gen 8gb iPod touch? Or is the 8gig only 2nd gen. I'm asking this question because I bought a brand new itouch as a warranty replacement of my broken nano. It's only 2 weeks old and I have noticed that it's the 2nd gen model. Has the shop sold me this mistakenly as they still had a few remaining in their stock? Or is the 8gb only manufacturered as 2nd gens?
Thanks,
Madusha

Hi Madusha: You are correct, the 8Gb is only available in the 2nd Generation. Only the 32 and 64gB are the new and improved 3rd Gen.
Hope this helps

WRT54GS to ipod touch 8GB 3rd gen

Hello all.
Right im a bit baffled and wondered if anyone could help with this.
I am running windows xp, virgin media 20mb broadband and a Linksys wrt54gs wireless router.
After fluffing about, i restored the router to factory settings. I then re-enabled security on the router. Now the problem is the following. The ipod touch appears connected due to the tick by the wifi's name and the signal appears to be good BUT i cannot view anything ont the ipod touch. I wondered if anyone would be able to help me with this as it is for a birthday present and i want to make sure that this is all working.
Many thanks.
P.s please be as simple as possible - im a noob!

Thanks for the help.
I do not have anything else that is wireless in the house so i cannot try and use any other pieces of equipment.
When i put the password in, then the connection appears on the ipod touch and displays a tick next to it. I have tried to insert different passwords as well. When i do this, the ipod will say connection failed. So i know that the 1st option that im doing is good (i think).
After the ipod establishes a connection, i then try and usethe safari browser on the ipod. It looks like it will connect then says something about an invalid argument.
Will i have to change the ip of the ipod touch?
Do you know what else i can try?
If so all help would be gladly appreiciated, many thanks.

IPod Touch 8GB (4th Gen), upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 now not syncing

I upgraded both my iPod touch and my iTunes software to the latest. I realised I was not able to sync so I restored the device and wiped it clead using the restore option. Restarted and renamed the device and set it up as a new device in iTunes but I am still not able to sync my music nor movies nor apps. I need help to figure out this issue as I can only install new apps via WiFi, I cannot transfer anything using iTunes as sync button is always grayed out.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch does not appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Mac, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions here:

IPOD touch 8gb Second Gen MC model

The ipod is completely gone i tried to restore and it freezes wen the os loads up the touch screen freezes then the entire ipod is frozen dont know exactly what happend just did an update and after that it had just started bugging out, i want to try fixing my self and not take it to the apple store

I am having the exact same problem with my itouch 16GB!

I keep recieving a message that states that the file is "invalid or too long". Any suggestions??

Why can't I add songs to my iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen?

I had an issue with songs being present on my iPod, yet the artists would not appear under "Artists". So I turned off "Group by Album Artist" in Settings and the problem was solved. However, and I don't know of that's the cause of the issue, I can no longer add song to my iPod. I add them manually, and when I do, I see them in gray under "Music" on iTunes with the sync logo next to then as if they're still being updated to the iPod. Yet they never do.

What happens when you try to sync tracks to it via iTunes? Any error messages? Does the iPod still appear under Devices in the left hand pane of iTunes when you connect it via USB?
How is your iPod configured to sync with your library? In other words, what options and settings do you have in place from under the iPod's Summary and Music configuration tabs in iTunes?
