Ipod touch powers external speaker

Looking for tips, links to existing discussions, etc., on using the iPod Touch 3.5"" jack output to power an external speaker. How much power does the jack provide? Enough for a generic 20 watt rated speaker that's fairly efficient (say, 92db 1w/1m)? Or do I need to build a small wattage op-amp device to drive the speaker?

Maybe:

Ipod touch 3g external speaker

I have a 3rd gen ipod touch, and out of no where the external speaker stopped working. I've restarted it several times, made sure the volume limit was off, and tried with sound check on an off. It works fine with headphones in though. Also i'm really trying to not have to restore it.

I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iTouch. I purchased an iTouch 4th generation which worked fine for a month or so, only to have the external speaker stop working all together. I returned it to Best Buy, and they gave me a new one.
Now the new 4G iTouch is doing the same thing, but a little different. I can listen to my voice recorder using my external speaker, but I can't hear anything else (YouTube, other apps) through the external speaker.
I've checked my settings countless times, and can't figure out what's up. Another trip to Best Buy? Or is it me? I will try the reset & restore.

IPod touch low external speaker volume

I have a set of speakers at work I used to play music with my Ipod shuffle plugged into them.
Just upgraded to an Ipod touch (5th generation), but now when I connect it to the speakers the volume is very low.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks very much!

Thank you for trying. No, we're in the USA where it's legal to blast out everyone's ears. I think it's most likely a setting I'm not familiar with. The Ipod shuffle - that little tiny thing, blasted loud and clear.

My Ipod touch powered off on its own, when I turned back on, my 4000 songs were gone. Why?

Hi. Today I was preparing to use my Ipod Touch when all on it's own, it powered off. When I restarted it, it came back on and I noticed that some of the setting's(date & time) were no longer as they had been when I previously set them. Other settings were not changed and they were as I had set them. The worst thing of all that was changed was 4000 of my songs were not on the device. I do not know what happened to them. Can some one help me with answers for the device powering off on it's own, having to redo some setting's, while other settings were fine, and last but not least, 4000 of my songs were no longer on the device.
Please help me and I thank you in advance.

I think that unless someone professional knows how to do a recovery, I may be screwed. Unfortunately, I did not have any connection with Itunes. I bought the IPod Touch from a local seller. I bought the unit mostly because of the 4000 songs that were on it.(yes I sat with the unit for a hour or so jumping from one song to another. I felt even better about the purchase due to the seller having the same likes with regards to music. When the lost songs first occurred, I immediately started wondering if the seller had tricked me some how. I may never know. Hey I have one more question. When a IPod has 4000 songs on it then that means a large portion of the original GB has been used correct? My capacity was 29.6 GBs with only 2.3 GBs left in availability. So if the songs took up the 29GBs and then the songs are deleted or lost, don't it mean that the 29.6GBs goes back to Availability?

My new iPod touch 5G's speaker isn't working correctly...

I got my iPod touch 2 days ago and I woke up today and played some music and all of a sudden, the speaker is buzzing while playing music, a game, or even when notifications come up. Is there anything that caused it? Is there anything that can fix it, or should I return this one and get a new one?

IPOD touch on external display monitor

Using iPod touch as External Storage/Memory

Hi,
I have an iPod touch 2nd generation and would like to use it as an external memory (sort of a memory stick). Is this possible? Prior to this i had Creative Zen Vision W and it perfectly did this however I cant manage to do this with my ipod.
Help would be appreciated
Thanks

yup, this is a huge disappointment. I just got a gen 3 32gb touch with the intent to use it as a external drive (this was an important feature to me as a digital media student).
This is something apple should be making consumers aware of before buying as it's such a common and expected 'feature' of media players at this expense.

Syncing iPod Touch Causes External Drive Disconnection

This is a really bizarre problem. I am unable to sync my iPod Touch. Once it goes to copy the first song (whatever it is -- this is not a file issue), my computer ejects my external hard drive and stops the sync. It then takes roughly 5 - 10 minutes to finish the sync (though put no new material on it).
I have to unplug my external drive then replug it to be recognized.
I've tried removing all music from iPod, which worked fine. But now I still can't put anything on it. I checked and have the latest software on both iTunes and the iPod. I've done simple stuff like restarting. Any ideas?

IPod touch 5th gen speaker blown

Hey guy,i have a ipod touch 5th Generation and my speaker blew.I cant send it back to apple because its really far from where i live,so i wanted to know if i put an iphone 4s or a ipod 3g speaker in my ipod will it work and fit?

First try:
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted
- Then go to ifixit and look at the photos of the various devices and see if they look interchangeable.

IPod touch 2g internal speaker

The internal speaker works for alarms but not for music-- I've messed with the volume.. it works fine while plugged into a dock or with headphones.
How do I correct this?

Have you tried the standard fixes to rule out a softwre problem:
- A reset. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new
Does the sound sound OK with headphones?

IPod touch 5th generation speaker "blown"?

Hello all, I am new to the forum but was hoping to get an answer from someone who might know a bit more about iPods/Apple. My husband and I got our iPod touchs back in November of 2012. Just last month, out of the blue, his speaker randomly started crackling. At first it was just occasionally at high volume, now it does it all the time, even on just a few bars of volume. The best way to describe it is that it sounds like the speaker is blown, however I'm not sure if this is even possible? I was wondering if this is covered by Apple as it is obviously a malfunction of the internal parts and not from some misuse or abuse on our part. I really don't have any extra cash to just run out and buy a new one, but could really use some advice on whether or not the limited 1 year warranty applies to this specific situation or not. Also, since it has been a few months, we no longer have the reciept so if it was covered by the warranty, would this matter (don't they track the serial number when you log in with your apple id?)?? Thanks in advance for any helpful responses!

If the iPod has not been abused and the iPod is defective Apple will exchange it at no cost.

Ipod Touch 2nd Generation Speaker Problem

So I've had my Ipod touch second gen for over a year now and i had to replace it once because the power button got jammed. Now I have a new one (which I got exchanged) and my warrenty is over now, and now my speakers are messed up. I cannot increase or decrease the volume. The volume sign for speakers show up and it just frozen with zero squares but when i play a sound it's insanely loud. I can't change the volume and it is really p i s s i n g me off. If I plug my headphones in everything works fine but when i disconnect them the sound is at max and cannot be changed. If i try and go to music or videos my ipod freezes and glitches out. If i go to the sound settings my ipod shuts off. If i am listening to a song with my headphones on it works but as soon as i disconnect it, its freezes and shuts off. I have rebooted, resetted, and even restored it as a new ipod and from my backups. I can't do anything now. My warrenty is gone and apple said they will not let me purchase warrenty now that its expired and they won't even fix it even if there is a cost. THIS IS SO CRAP! Any help please?

100% normal!! The iOS takes up part of that memory so it is normal to be 6.5GB.

Can iPod be powered externally while downloading photos ?

Apple's Camera Connector is a great way to download photos from your digital camera to your iPod when you are travelling. However I have run into a problem when my camera (USB1) is using a memory card greater than 1Gb. The (fully charged) iPod runs out of charge before all the photos are transferred!!
I have not been able to find a device (Apple or other) which will power the iPod while the camera is downloading to the iPod via the Camera Connector and so allow the use of 2Gb or higher cards.
I'm a fairly new iPod user and so may have overlooked the obvious.......but can anyone offer a solution ?

Using iPod touch with speaker dock

I put my iPod touch on my speaker dock, and it connects and charges. But, the music just comes out of the iPod and not the speaker. How do I get it to come out of the speaker?

Make sure the iPod is correctly sitting on the dock. I had exactly the same problem with my iPhone. Try moving your iPod around abit while its sitting on the dock, moving it forwards and backwards slightly. Overall your more than likely to have to take your speaker dock back where you bought it from, or buy a new one.
