IPod Touch now seems to be real sensitive.

Hello, I've had my IPod Touch since March of last year, I got it for my birthday. About a week ago I was on the bus listening to music on it on my way home, and all of a sudden the music paused; I thought I accidently pulled my headphones out, but that wasn't the case. I tried using a new pair of headphones but I'm still having the problem come up. Whenever I grab my iPod with a normal grip (I.E. it won't slide out of my hand at all) it pauses whatever is playing and turns the sound off, even with the volume control up to 80% and headphones plugged in. I began to notice that if I touched the side of the iPod where the black front cover meets the metallic back cover, the sound cuts out OR whatever is playing pauses. If I touch the metallic back near the headphone jack, the sound seems to come out, and if I hold my iPod sideways (horizontal) to watch a video and my hand touches the port for the charger, the video pauses and sound tends to cut out. It also seems that if my headphones are even slightly nudged, the sound cuts out and whatever is playing pauses, and even putting it on sleep tends to do that at times, as well as slipping it into my pocket.
The only way I've found to bring the sound back is to push down on the black part of the front cover beneath the screen and right above the headphone jack. Do I need to have my iPod sent in? There's no Apple store or anything like that where I live that I can get it checked out at.
Thanks.

Here's the thing, and I stated this already, there is no Apple store nearby, or within reasonable driving time (30 minutes to an hour). I'd have to drive from the coast to the middle of my state just to see an Apple store, and I'm not about to do that to get my iPod fixed.

  • Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?

    Why is my iPod Touch now repeating songs once in the Bose Dock?  How do I get this to stop?  I have already done a factory restore and then reloaded my music onto this iPod. 

    I had this problem after upgrading to iOS4, but didn't discover it until I got to the gym and went to start my workout! No music (except the stuff they play at the gym) meant a short workout for me!
    I figure that the glitch comes from the fact that when you upgrade to iOS4 iTunes takes a backup of your iPod, does the firmware update and then puts the backed up content back on, I'm thinking that there are some subtle differences between iOS3 and iOS4 that cause confusion.
    THE FIX! I have found that the best fix (in fact the best course of action) is to restore the iPod from iTunes (just hook it up and hit the "Restore" button and tell iTunes to treat it as a new iPod. Then just re-sync all your content and it should work perfectly. It is a much easier way of getting your iPod updated without as many glitches.
    HTH!!

    No one here said anything about an update or your device needing it.
    FYI, you are not addressing Apple here, we are all users like yourself.
    If the device is in recovery mode, the only option is to restore it.  All data on the device is gone.  This should not be an issue if the device has been used as designed and regularly synced/backed up.

    If for some reason you failed to transfer any purchases to your computer before updating and you failed to make sure that everything was on your computer, then you can redownload some itunes purcahsed content:

  • Does it make a sense to buy  a new ipod touch now?

    Is ok. to buy an ipod touch now or should I wait until some "software update" comes? I wouldn't want to pay additional 10$ or 20$ next month to be able to access some new features.

    At first glance, I said whoa! But then I thought, I have my BlackBerry Pearl with T-Mobile and realized, well, since I got the phone for $0.01 in November and was required to have a data plan, hmm... I think Amazon had an agreement with T-Mobile on requirements of keeping the data plan for 6 months. And after reading the Wall Street Journal this morning, I further learned of the subsidizing AT&T is doing with this version for a change. That means that AT&T might one day allow the phone to be unlocked in contrast to the first generation iPhone. But come on folks, why would Apple or AT&T price the 2nd Generation iPhone at $199 up front? Hmm... Let's think logically. It's to attract new customers agreeing to a two year commitment! Do you really think you can buy the BlackBerry Curve with AT&T for $99 outright? No. Logic tells us that Scott's math is truth. So I give kudos to Scott for this. Those who don't understand this are the same people who think that if they lose their phone after 5 months, they get mad at the cell phone provider for not replacing the phone at the initial "cost".

  • Should I buy the 4g iPod touch now? April 2012

    Hello. I am looking to buy a new iPod touch, but I need the latest and greatest. Now, here are my speculations:
    The New iPad just came out, so I don't know when Apple is going to have their next event. I assume theier next even will be in about 2 months, and the invitation for this event will be about music. In the event they will announce all new iPods, including the new iPod touch, Nano, Shuffle, and maybe even the iPod Classic. (By the way, if they don't release a new Classic, they will end it's production line.)
    The iPod touch will include a new 5 MP camera as seen on the New iPad, No A5 X Chip (The reason I think it won't get the A5 X chip is because Apple usually wants the iPhone to get the upgraded specs before the iPod, and the iPhone has not recived the A5X Chip yet.), and some other features like keyboard voice dictation. This new iPod will NOT have Siri. Thats all I can think of for speculations of the new iPod touch.
    Can someone tell me if these speculations seem correct, or I'm speaking nonsense, and should not wait for the new iPod touch. The only thing I'm intrested in the new iPod is the upgraded camera, otherwise I would get the current iPod now. I want your thoughts, opinions, rumors, whatever... What do you think?

    It's against the Terms of Use of this forum to speculate about future products and you agreed not do it when you signed up to the forum.
    So even if we wanted to, we cannot add to your discussion. Quited frankly, what would be the point? If - and I stress if - a new iPod is ever announced, and it is missing any or all of the features you've expressed an interest in, you will simply be disappointed with it.
    Feel free to post your thoughts in a non-Apple forum, but it's a waste of your time to do so here.

  • Ipod Touch now won't connect to my Mac

    I'm puzzled by this.....I recently bought an Ipod Touch and connected it to my Mac via USB cable, no problems. Have regularly connected and disconnected (properly ejected) and synchronised with itunes - again no problems. I have since unplugged the USB cable and now plugged it back in and there is no connection. It doesn't show it is charging, nor will it appear in itunes. What is puzzling is that I have tried 3 different USB ports (which all work okay with other devices) and it still doesn't work. Suspecting the cable is at fault I've just tried it on another computer and it works! Trouble is it is my Mac I want to connect to as that has all my music & photos on.
    Now just to add, I was about to post this message when I had an idea and plugged the headphones in and hey presto it now works! Does this all suggest there is something amiss with the actual ipod?

    I am having this exact same problem connecting my iTouch to my G4. The only way I could get it to work was to restart the mac, then unplug and replug in the USB cable then it seems to work. While it get's the job done this is not viable work around since it is a major inconvenience to restart my computer every time.
    Has a solution developed since this was posted in April?
    Any help would be great.
