IPod touch gets HOT!!

My daughter's iPod touch (4th generation) suddenly started running extremely hot near the top of the iPod. It is so hot that it hurts to hold it. At the same time, the iPod stopped connecting to wi-fi. I have rebooted it, I have reset orginal factory settings, I have tried to connect manually to a wi-fi network. I have restored as a new iPod. Nothing worked. It is so hot I do not want my daughter using it for fear it will burn her. Any thoughts?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99, $149 or $199 depending upon the capacity.
A third-partty place like the following my be less expensive. However, it is hard to tell because oyu do not know what has to be replaced.

IPod touch gets hot when in dock without charger

My iPod touch gets hot after a while when I put it into a MT-035 universal dock without a charger. I use this to connect to my stereo.
My iPhone stays cool in the same situation.

Yes, it is normal for the iPod toi get quite warm with heavy use like gaming and videos.

My ipod touch gets hot while using, is that normal?

It really gets hot very fast

An iPod can get quite warm with heavy use like gaming. Since how warm is too hot is subjective, I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on... What is wrong? Can photos and data be retrieved?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

IPod Touch really hot :(

Alright well while i was using my ipod touch at work it got really hot, so i turned it off and put it in my pocket with my glasses, when i finished work i pulled my glasses out of my pocket and there was a mark on it like it was burnt or something, the only thing in that pocket was the touch, I'm wondering if this is normal? and if not what should i do my warranty expired and i don't want to pay basically the same price as i did for the ipod in the first place just to get it fixed.
If anyone can help or answer my question, than thanks a lot

My Touch gets hot too, but when it syncs, or when i charge it and use the internet. Plus, mine is in a leather case, so it`s normal, and it never got so hot ... It may be two things.
1) Your glasses are scratched by the Apple Logo, which is pretty abrasive ( best case scenario )
2) Your battery shorts out. This is pretty bad, unprobable but fixable, that`s if ... you don`t burst in flames. Jk :P
You should take it to the Apple Store, it can`t be out of warranty, the iPod Touch came out in autumn last year.
Good luck, and hope this has helped.

My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on. Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

I have a computer with windows 8, when I plug in IPOD Touch, get message can't download pictures, no music library appears. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I am currently an owner of an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I see you are having problems with your Ipod/Ipad/Iphone, so I will try to find a solution to your problem.
Hard Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds or until Apple logo appears
Make sure you have Itunes downloaded
Make sure Itunes is the latest version
Hope that helps!
If none of the above solutions work, can you please respond back ASAP as I will try to find another solution to your problem (This might even help others with the same problem!)
Cheers!

If it is off or not connected to wi-fi, then you cannot track it.

TS3694 iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7)

iPod touch gets error -1303 when attempting to restore after update (W7). This error is not shown anywhere in the specific list. Have done all recommended recovery methods (reboot, update iTunes, restart iPod) to no avail. What is next?

Usually the 1303 error is in regards to a corrupted or missing backup of your iPod Touch. Try removing or moving the backups to another location and then try to restore your iPod once again.
See this article for information on where backups are stored.

When will ipod touch get a camera upgrade?

When will ipod touch get a camera upgrade?

We're all just fellow users here and as such have no idea when Apple may release an upgrade to the iPod touch and what such an upgrade might include. Sorry, but we'll all just have to wait until such time as Apple announces something new.
