My ipod is seriously insanely messed up

The hardrive clicks and scratches. It has gotten as hot as 49 Degrees celcius or 120 degrees Farenheit. It freezes in the middle of a song but the song information still scrolls. It plays video fine. I don't know anyone that takes as much care of their Ipod as I do. It can't be written to in Itunes.
And The WORST problem is that after using the backlight for about thirty seconds and turning off the Ipod and turning it back on the screen has a line going through the middle and the rest of the screen has no contrast.

Sorry about your problem. Yeah it *****. The only reason I have a 5th gen is because I destroyed the screen on my 4th gen. It fell about 2 feet and the screen split from corner to corner. They wouldn't replace it either. (THOSE NAZIS).

  • Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up.  Currently I'm looking to delete apps.  They no longer appear on left side of itunes screen.  I try to click on apps on top of screen but apps are in a shadow mode and I can't click on them.

    Since downloading itunes 10 my ipod's features are messed up and many do not now work.  Currently my problem is I want to delete some apps.  It no longer shows on the left side of itunes.  When I click on apps at the top, the apps appear shadowed and i cannot click on them.  If I check the box to sync them it says I will lose what's on my ipod and the things in my library will replace them.  What should I do?

    If you are completely confident that you didn't hide it, then you purchased those with different apple id. If you completely confident that you purchases with same apple id then you have hidden it. One of the other or you are speaking about a miracle. While miracles are possible they are not very likely.

    Why can you not " put in any cedit card id stuff"?
    You have to have an itunes account to use itunes.

  • My iPod Is Seriously Messed Up

    I've had my iPod for about two weeks now.  I bought it used at a GameStop, because there is no Apple Store anywhere near me.  It worked perfectly for the first day, then when I had it in my pocket, my music suddenly turned off and I checked to see what was wrong.  It was dislplaying the startup Apple logo.  It would show the logo for about 2 minutes, then turn off and show the logo again, repeating over and over.  Eventually, after just pressing buttons on the device randomly due to no help from the call center, it began to work again.  From there on out, it's done this many times.  Except, now it lets me on for about 5 seconds.  I can put in my password and then do whatever until it all fades into sometimes white, other times inverse, and often with going across the screen on one of the two.
    I came to the conclusion that it was very fragile, as it only did this when I didn't set it down as though I was carressing a baby.  I had it working for 3 days consistently without doing the startup glitch thing.  Then I made the huge mistake of letting my friend hold it, who didn't set it down gently and made it start again with the logo glitch.  Since then, it has only recovered from this twice.  As I speak, I'm watching it turn itself on and off.  If there is anything I can do AT ALL, please help.  While it does this whole thing, it won't stay on long enough for me to restore it in iTunes, so that's not much of an option.
    I've tried to leave it alone long enough to let the battery die, but it never really turns off.  It's basically just in lock mode with the charge me screen.  If I plug it in, I just give it more life to continue to glitch.
    If you have any ideas of how to get it to turn off, or to stay on, please let me know.  Holding on to both the sleep/wake and home buttons DOES turn it off, but it comes right back on immediately with the logo.  Holding down on the home button to get it to the USB & iTunes thing doesn't work, either.
    EDIT: Forgot to add that I have already restored it once.  It was when I got it to work for 3 days.  I actually just got it to work again, and am considering restoring it again, but I'm not sure what to do to prevent it from doing the glitch again.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    If that is the case, as rivera.ismael93 said, take it back to GameStop for a refund or exchange

  • Ipod Touch 4G sound messed up

    So my iPod Touch 4g is about 1.5 years old. There was a while where I wouldn't have earbuds or headphones, so I didn't listen to music for a while. Then I got my car that has an aux port. I plugged in my iPod and played music just fine. But, I just bought a pair of skull candies and when I plug them in and try to play music, the music sounds weird. Let's try Whistle by Flo Rida. Right now, in the beginning, I can hear the guitar, but the whistle is very faint and hard to hear. And the little bass beat in the back, I can't hear that at all. Flo Rida at first sounds just fine, but in the verses, His voice sounds monotone, but the background voices come through. The only part that sounds like it should is the "can you blow my whistle" part. Other than that, It's all messed up. I know it's not the earbuds, cause they work just fine in my laptop, same song, same iTunes library. In the settings on my iPod, I've got it set for no sound check, and no EQ.
    Now for the weird part, I can get it to sound just fine. All I have to do is go into the accessibility settings and change the balance to either the right or the left. and the second I take it off center, everything sounds fine. Sound's even coming out of both earbuds at the same time/volume (mono doesn't do this, it just gets extremely quiet). But there are songs that utilize both left and right channels, and changing the balance, makes it so I can only hear the left or right side of the song. That's not right. Changing the balance should make it so sound only comes from the left or right earbud, not left or right side of a song. Like in "Good Feeling" by Flo Rida 2:43 into the song, with the techno thing going on (my favorite part, I just like how they do it) I can only hear one side of it, out of both earbuds.
    I'm going to do a full restore on my iPod (haven't had the time to, and I really don't want to, as I don't want to lose anything.) and if that fixes anything, I'll post it. If I don't then feel free to post your own opinion, and I'll give it  a shot.

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

  • IPOD touch SERIOUS Issue. Who has they're apps not working in 2 days?!

    Ok so i just got my ipod touch xmas day. Right. And well yesterday i was listening to music and my sister exited it and then touched a app and then all the sudden the app shut it self off right away! like what the heck. Anyways, so i went to the Apple Store, and both of our ipod touches ironically had this same problem.
    And so we go in there ask the man and he was like oh usually the problem is when your touch will logout of your email and forget you pw so i wont open up. So we try that and it doesnt work and then he goes in and is like well this is rare. Like WHAT? have you seen this disscussion form? RARE?! excuse me i think not. AND if it is so rare then what in the world would be the chances of my sister and I get this "rare" problem all the sudden. So he says oh restore your ipod yeah we did and we did all that crap it didnt work. I am SO outraged i had it for only 2 days i mean COME ON. I think Apple has a serious problem on their hands and they better find out how to fix it. I want to sue im so angry. The funny thing is they don't think this is a big problem hahahha, well we will see about that. Who else here thinks this is not right?!

    hiya.. i had exactly the same problem and after spending hours reading the forum etc i eventually found somethin, tried it and it worked. if its apps u have downloaded from the app store here's what to do:
    1) delete the apps from the touch (press and hold the app icon until it wiggles then tap the "x" and confirm deletion.
    2) load up itunes on your computer (without conneting the touch) go to applications and delete the apps in there too
    3) on itunes go to "store" menu at top the de-authorise your computer, close itunes and reload, then authorise the computer again.
    4) download the apps u want from the store onto the computer
    5) connect touch to computer to re-sync
    6) once touch re-sync complete, go to applications tab (library bit) and make sure the "sync applications" tick box is ticked, the apps will be syncronised onto touch.
    that should work, i tried everythin possible before this, restartin, resettin, master reset, absolutely everythin and this actually worked, i was rather impressed.
    i think if ur gonna download apps its best to download on computer and sync to the touch, it would prob prevent this happening again
    :o)

  • My ipod touch music is messed up.. How do i fix it?!

    Hey. My ipod touch wont play some music tracks..They are songs that i ahve recently play before but now they wont play. The ipod will play some songs perfectly then not play others at all. It will say its playing but then wont play it will just sit there or it will say its playing one song then play another. And more stuff.

    You probably will need to take or send the iPad to Apple and pay for replacement. But tell us what you mean by "color is messed up" and perhaps there's a suggestion we can make short of replacement.
    Regards.

  • IPod fire, seriously ***?

    Don't know where to post this. My iPod caught fire while on the docking station (for about 3 hours) and I don't know who to contact about it. I'm from south africa and I'm not sure who the reseller is.

    It may not be easy for you to do so, but you should contact Apple directly about this. They take customer safety concerns very seriously. Unfortunately there is no support number in South Africa, so you may have to try support from one of the countries on [this page|http://www.apple.com/support/contact/phone_contacts.html].
    One other thing - don't use the iPod or the docking station again.
    Best of luck.

  • 5g ipod touch going insane

                         Hi, I have a 5g ipod touch, 32gb. It works fine everyday but the momment I try to use it while charging, it goes insane. If I were to try to type something, it won't type or it puts in random letters. On Safari, it opens up new pages. It plays my music at random, ect. I have attempted to shut it off and turn it back on, didn't do anything. Can you please tell me what I should do in order to fix it? Thank you.

    Please don't use the bolded super-sized font.  It's very annoying.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Ipod nano screen completely messed up

    I've noticed recently that my Ipod nano screen has become totaly messed up, i can only see the top half of it,where it says Music, Photos, etc. and even that is all deteriorated,whilst the bottom almost look's like a barcode. Although i can still listen to music, volume is inacessible.
    Could some one please help me on this, i just got this recently by winning it from a local radio station and I dearly love it, help would be appreciated.
    PS: this is not something physicly on the screen or the result of a scratched screen, it's the actual inside, where the song information etc. is viewed.

    You might want to try this link:
    Resetting iPod if it appears frozen or doesn't respond
    According to the Tech Specs (http://www.apple.com/ipodnano/specs.html) Windows 98 isn't supported - could that be the answer?

  • Why is my iPod Touch 4th generation messed up?

    My Ipod Touch is playing the music, but when I go to the music tab and select the "songs" tab, I've seen it has 985 songs, yet when a song is playing the song list changes when a song is playing saids I have 969, but on itunes I have 990. So what is going on with my iPod?

    I do not think the iPod is killing your USB port. the port/computer have overcurrent protection that prevents computer damage by a short in a USB device. If you have a short or other device problem causing the device to draw too much power, the computer will disable the port and you will get a messages saying the device is drawing too much power.
    SInce it happens with other cable, it has to be a problem with the iPod, likely the connector on the iPod.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • All the apps on my new iPod touch 5 are messed up.

    On Instagram I can't post videos or pictures and it keeps telling me that all the posts are from 2h ago but when I look on my phone it says 1sec.It is doing this with Twitter and Vine app. I just got this iPod for my birthday so it's strange that my apps would be doing this. I have shut down my iPod multiple times and uninstalled the apps and turned off and on the wifi and nothing worked. I thought it was just an app problem but since it's happening with all of the apps I'm thinking it's my iPod can anyone help?

    Try the remaining items of:

    Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

  • Itunes/ Ipod Problem - serious

    Hey,
    I have an 80gb Ipod Video and have recently had problems with it. I use it frequently and have rarely had problems with it - other than the odd time where it freezes when I can manually (menu + select) restart it. Recently it froze and I manually reset it but when I turned it back on all my songs were gone. I decided to reconnect it to my computer and restore the iPod and put back on all my songs. However, when I did that error msgs would come up saying Cannot write to H: (or any other usb port I would plug my iPod into. It would write less than 50 songs and that msg would come up. Then I reinstalled itunes and even system restored my computer to an earlier date to make sure it wasn't a software problem and it still came up with an error - a different one this time saying "can't write to iPod" Sorry I don't have the specific error messages but I am getting to why that is. Now when I plug my iPod into my computer - it won't appear in iTunes but it does appear under My Computer. Is my iPod broken or what solutions do you have? Thanks so much.
    James

    I have a 30gb iPod video and pretty much the exact same thing happened to me, but my computer said it can't find the file 1028_1.ithmb, does anyone know what that means or where you find it?

  • Ipod photo - serious music transfer probleme. i need help please

    hi there.
    i have a problem that i cant resolve.
    i search and ask on french forum, but nobody could help me.
    actually, my ipod didnt want me to upload files over 6 minutes.
    an error message box used to pop up on itunes each time the delay of about 6 minutes music transfering exceed.
    here is the msg box:
    http://fr.audiofanzine.com/img/membres/normal/6/9/69236.png
    he told me that itunes couldnt read/write onm my ipod.
    that's false cause he could upload <6 minutes music transfering time.
    anyway i reeset my ipod, update it with ipod updater.
    and the problem is still the same.
    i still get this message.
    i tried with many kind of music, coming from diferent HD, but nothing to do.
    i tried to find a help from apple, but this stupid website is made for you not to find a way to contact them.
    if someone can help me, i would be glad...
    my ears need sounds...

    If you have already done so, have a look at this Knowledge Base article: "-36 or "Disk cannot be read from or written to" when syncing iPod or "Firmware update failure" error when updating or restoring iPod
    If you have no success there I would try restoring your iPod, this will erase the hard drive, reload the software and put it back to default settings so make sure you have all your songs backed up in iTunes. A fresh installation of the software should sort things out: Restoring iPod to Factory Settings
