IPod Touch location service doesnt work at all.
Hi guys, just having this issue, I have my iPod touch since 8 months ago, It worked fine, perfect. I upgrade it to iOS 5 and it worked fine, it was perfect.
But today the location service doesnt work, I triend with the google maps app, the Facebook and Twitter app and the location icon doesnt even appear in the screan, so I restart it and then I restore all the network configuration and the location warings, but the location service doesnt work.
I also tried to use Find my iPod on icloud.com but it says that couldn't locate it.
Any idea?
Thanks!
Hi Philly_Phan, Thanks for your help,
Today I went to my college and guess what? the location service was working perfectly again, but when I get home it didn't work, I was thinking about this:
I know iPod doesnt have a GPS, it use WiFi to find where you are, but, a week ago it was working fine at home, now it doesnt, the funny thing is that even if the iPod can not locate you, it should show the little location icon on the top of the screen. Dont you?
I mean, even if the iDevice can't find any know hotspot near, it should show the little icon. So, does the ipod connect to any server somewhere arround the world? or use any special port that maybe my router/ISP is blocking?
Any idea?
Thanks sooooo much!

my ipod touch has lost location services after i installed a new modem to my pc . it is turned on in the settings and i have even reset the ipod to new status. Any help would be appreciated thanks.
Nothing you can do except wait until Apple adds the router to their database of routers and their location. If you or someone nearby does not have an iPhone it can take a while. There is no way to tell Apple to add a router to their database.

Mu ipod touch passcode buttons doesnt work
I was playing on a game (Red Ball) and i pressed the home button twice, this made the game close, i locked the ipod touch and i went to type in my passcode, when i pressed on a number it wouldnt show, only a thin black square formed around the numbers and the numbers dont come up at all, no buttons work up at all, what do i do????
You may have the accessibility VoiceOver feature or another one turned on.
Triple click the home button and try going to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn VoiceOver off and others off. You may have to use three fingers to scroll the screen to get there. If problems see the following for how to turn off via iTunes:
iPhone: Configuring accessibility features (including VoiceOver and Zoom)
Next 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.

I'm taking it in to get it looked at but will they cover this? And is there a way to fix it before I take it in. I'm still under the 1 year warranty plan. My friend said that they might exchange it. It's a 64GB and I use it for a lot of things like my picture, music, contacts, and email. It's got scratches on the back but other wise its ok the screen isn't cracked or scratched.
I have a usb charger for it but when I plug it into the PC or my wall charger it won't charge. It just says "Charging is not supported with this device". It even says that sometimes when it's not charging. But it works on a dock station like my clock or radio.
Also my home buttom won't work unless I press down real hard. This scares me because I'm afraid I wil persss it too hard and break it even more.
Please help.- 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.

IPod Touch 2g won't work at all
Hey guys,
I was recently on holiday and on the second day, my iPod went black. I couldn't switch it on and any attempts to charge it, didn't work. I wasn't too bothered because I only bought a cheap car adapter to charge it with, so I thought maybe that was the issue.
However, since returning, I still cannot get anything to work. I have tried charging it on my PC using the original cable. I've used a new cable I bought and tried a mains adapter, yet nothing has worked. The iPod isn't working at all.
I've been holding down the home and power button for 10+ seconds, to no avail. No matter how many times I've tried to switch it on, I get absolutely no response.
Before this more permanent problem, I did have an issue with the power button itself, where it was sticking. It had done this in the past though, but on this day, it was sticking more than usual, randomly asking me if I wanted to turn the iPod off completely.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks,
JackYeah, I've looked around the internet and this doesn't seem uncommon. Surely there is some advice?
It's incredibly frustrating, to say the least. -
If I cannot upgrade it I will be very unhappy with Apple.
The idea that Apple made a corporate decision to simply eliminate all older iTouch devices from existence baffles me.
Why would I want to invest in any apple product knowing full well that in a few years I will simply have to throw it away. I don't have a lot of money to invest in things like this. Do you? There is no reason I shouldn't expect to be able to acquire older versions of apps for my older iTouch (read 3G IOS 4.2.1.)
I cannot get ANY ibook reader, no VNC. no mapping software. very few games (not that I care much about games.)
There must be millions of the older iTouch devices out there that are good for nothing but a landfill somewhere.
Someone said all older computing equipment eventually goes away. Not so. I have some older computers that can still run WIN98, (even WIN3.11 if I want.) I can still download old applications for those old OS's. There is no NEED to throw them away. I may WANT to, but I am not FORCED to.
While I am sure the older Android and WIN devices will eventually become less popular, they will ALWAYS be useful. I will always be able to get old apps for them. I can still get old apps for win3.11.
The older Apple device are now actually useless. That is the diffference, and it is a big one. Apple is FORCING us to upgrade. As someone pointed out, it's corporate greed.
So, yes, this and all other posts on this subject should be turned into an Apple bashing, Android vs IOS debate until we eventually get Apples attention.
Really, the only way to get Apples attention on this matter is to switch away from them and hit them in thier greed (which is exactly what I am going to do.)
They came out with the first GUI years ago and made the corporate decision to not keep in touch with thier customers. Now look at them. 98% of all desktops and laptops are running competitors OS's.
The same thing is going to happen with the IOS, but much faster this time. It won't take long for people to figure out they simply have to replace there perfectly good hardware because Apple got greedy.
But, alas, It seems Apple is happy with 2% of the marketplace. Too bad. They made a good product. I guess I MUST put mine in the can under my sink.

When trying to facetime a contact (which worked prior to update) it says that person is 'unavailable for facetime'. Some contacts work and some don't. Facetime is enabled in settings.
Also can message some people but not others - not necessarily the same people that can't be facetimed.
Anyone experienced similar or got any ideas?
Thanks.No, just some of them. Tried getting them to facetime my daughter which worked, but still couldn't facetime back.

My ipod touch 5 microphone doesnt work.
I have tried cleaning the microphone hole (betrween camera lense and flash) but it still will not pick up any volume from my voice unless my mouth is right up against the mic. Please help.
- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

So somehow water spilled in my backpack and got onto my ipod. I didn't realize this until i got home and plugged my ipod into the computer to see if it would finally turn on. The computer said it couldn't read my ipod and the only thing I could do was restore it. So I lost everything. Pictures, Paid Apps and Music, and I'm really sad and disappointed about that but now i will press the power button to wake my ipod and it will sometimes turn my sound up on headphones? And it says I have headphones plugged in, but I don't. My ipod is just really messed up can someone help me! Its 2nd Generation 8GB!
Do not turn the iPod on anymore untill it is dry. Dry as explained here:

My location services in iPod Touch 5 is not working. Any help?? I really want to fix this issue.
You do have it turned on ins settings>Privacy, right?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that the iPod can't see a nearby router that is in Apple's database. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.
You can confirm that by going to place with a know located router like Starbucks or McDonalds -
my iPod touch needs to be restored. however, all of my movies/apps/songs/photos are not backed up on my computer because the shop on my computer does not work. can i still get the memory on my iPod touch 32gb back?
If you weren't able to sync the purchases to a computer previously and now your iPod needs to be restored so you can't sync it now, then you may be out of luck and will need to purchase your content again. Officially Apple does not allow redownloads of purchased items other than iPhone/iPod touch applications and iBooks. The official statement of their policy can be found here, among other places.
You can try contacting iTunes Store Customer Service (select the "Music Purchases" or "Video Purchases" category, as appropriate, then "Lost or Missing Items". You'll find either an "Express Lane" button - just follow the instructions to get to the contact form - or an "Email Us" button) ") and explaining what happened. Reportedly in some cases Apple has allowed redownloading on a one-time basis. But don't count on it.
Good luck.
