IPod Touch (Gen 1, Software 3.0) running hot/locking up.

In the last few months, I have been having a recurring problem with my iPod Touch (Gen 1, now running 3.0), where on occasion it starts feeling incredibly hot to the touch, the screen freezes, and it refuses to accept any input from anything but the home and the lock/power key.
I've ruled out environmental causes, and also it doesn't seem to be software/apps causing the problem, as I first encountered it at V2.2, and it has happened with just a clean install on there as well.
Any ideas to what could be causing this, or to a potential solution?

This is not a bug but a problem with the software or hardware on your individual iPod. You have not mentioned try to fix it by doing a restart, reset, or a restore. These types of minor problems generally respond well to one of those remedies.
However, if your problem doesn't go away, you may have a problem with the touch screen. If you are still under warranty, then a trip to the closest Apple store might be a good idea.

  • Is there an easy way to find apps that will run on an ipod touch gen 2 with iOS 4.2.1?

    My grandson's ipod touch gen 4 was stolen so I picked up a used ipod touch gen 2 only to find out I can't upgrade beyond 4.2.1 iOS, so I am trying to find apps that run on that iOS. Enter an unfriendly App Store for those of us not used to using it!
    Can someone please tell me an easy way to find apps for him to run on this older system?
    Thanks in advance!

  • My ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

    my ipod touch gen 4 will not recovery after software update. have tried everything. device not recognized by itunes. any ideas?

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod Touch Gen. 5 isn't being detected?

    I plugged in my (new, recently bought) iPod Touch Gen. 5 to my computer (I use Windows, btw), and the Music library detected it. Good. THen i went to WIndows Media PLayer and iTunes to sync music onto it but it didn't detect my iPod at all So I unplugged it and plugged it back into another USB port. Nothing changed! So I resstarted my computer, itunes, and then ipod. Nothing happened, either.
    WHat should i do? i really wanna get music onto it.

    Windows Media Play will not detect the iPod. Yo have to use iTunes for syncing.
    See:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    I would start with
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    or
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

    I have just tried to install the full version of Anthill to my iPod touch Gen 4.  I get a message on the iPod saying "Anthill failed to install" and an error on the computer "OxE8000004".  I already had Anthill Free installed so deleted it in case it was interferring with the new download.  I can install other free apps but now can't even install Anthill Free.  I have tried the 7 resolution steps advised by Apple and have totally run out of ideas as to what I can try next.  I am using a new laptop since installing Anthill Free the first time and am now running Windows 7, otherwise everything else is the same.  Any help would be sincerely appreciated.  Thanks.

  • HT201272 my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new ebay app how do i get?

    hi,
    how do i get the old ebay app my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new version?

    If you didn't previously download the eBay app and have it still in a backup or somewhere, then you can't. The current version of the eBay app requires iOS 4.3 which will not run on a 2nd-generation iPod touch.
    Regards.

  • Does BT Fon/Openzone work with an ipod touch gen 1...

    Hi,
    I am a BT Infinity customer and have opted in to BT Fon. I cannot get my ipod touch gen 1 to work with a BT Fon or Openzone network. I can connect to my BT home hub as well as various friends' networks but for some reason I can't get the BT Fon/BT Openzone to work. It sees the network and in Settings-->Wi-Fi Networks I have deleted the initial 10.xx.xx.xx entry (leaving the "192.168.22.22, 192.168.22.23" with no leading space) and it says it has connected. When I go into Safari and try and enter any URL it says "connecting..." but I do not get the landing page (to enter my details) and it eventually times-out with a "Cannot open Page. Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding" message. This even happens when I try and use the BT Fon part of my home hub!
    Any ideas why this isn't working? I have tried various BT Fon/Openzone points and none of them work. Any help would be most appreciated!
    P.S. I cannot use the BTFON app as it is not compatible with the ipod touch gen 1 (I have the latest version of the ipod gen 1 software which is 3.1.3).

    Well, I've tried various networks and various settings and I simply cannot get the ipod touch to work with BT Fon/Openzone.
    I have to say I'm very disappointed with this - it was a toss-up for me to join either Virgin Media or BT Infinity and the only thing that swung it was the opportunity to use BT Fon/Openzone points when out and about. I think I've made the wrong choice as it is pretty useless to me now.
    Also, the BT Fon website claims that in the area where I work there a lots of BT Fon/Openzone networks but I spent an entire lunchtime walking around with my ipod checking the available networks and only found two - both with fairly weak signals that occasionally disappear and reappear. Anyone else noticed this too?
    I'm fairly sure it's not my ipod as it will happy connect to my homehub from the bottom of my garden which is around 30 metres away from the hub.

  • My ipod touch gen 5 is disabled and wont sync, i tried to reinstall the itunes (yes, the latest version) but still itunes doesnt recognized my device. help :(

    My ipod touch gen 5 is disabled and wont sync, i tried to reinstall the itunes (yes, the latest version) but still itunes doesnt recognized my device. help

    Did you place the iPod in recovery mode? That is required for a disabled iPod
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    maybe is problem hardware?
    if problem hardware approximately what is a part problem?

    Error 1604
    This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different Dock Connector or Lightning Connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps. If you're using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
    If the issue isn't resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting and another computer isn't available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
    Connect the device to iTunes.
    Confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
    Restore and wait for the error.
    When prompted, click OK.
    Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
    The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode.
    Try to restore again.
    If the steps above don't resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
    Error 1600, 1601, 1602
    Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. You may resolve this error by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. Learn more about troubleshooting security software.
    Could be a hardware problem since:
    The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. In that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Anyway to transfer ipod touch 2.2 software upgrade to latop.

    I just bought the ipod touch 2.2 software and and when I tried restoring my ipod touch I get a error (unable to restore ipod, error occured at 13). I just wanted to know how to transfer the software to my laptop
    Thanks.

    It seems to be a 2.2 problem. I had loaded 2.0 and 2.1 with no problem. 2.2 bricked my 1st gen 16gb iTouch. I had to take it to the apple store. They told me that it had to do the anti-virus software on windows.
    I do not believe there is a fix for it. You probably will have to take it in. Prior to taking it in I had tried disabling the firewall and even removing the anti-virus software but it would not work.

  • How to update ipod touch gen 2

    Is there anyway to upgrade the software on the ipod touch gen 2, its up to date on the software but need a newer one is it possible to get newer software to get more games and apps to work. Any help would be great.

    The CPU in that device does not have enough internal RAM to support any iOS above 4.2.1
    But, there are still over 60,000 alternative vintage apps available that will work on it.

  • Is iPod Touch Gen 4 affected by USB3?

    Is Ipod Touch Gen 4 affected by USB 3 or Norton 360?

    As of now iDevices do not have support for USB 3.0.
    I don't know what you are asking with respect to Norton 360.  Anti-virus software on your computer should not impact the use of the iPod nor its connection to your computer.
