My ipod touch 4 has low sound and mostly hiss on playback.

My ipod touch's video playback (ie. taking a video and playing it back with the camera) is suddenly malfunctioning. It's almost a year old and no other issues previously. It hasn't been dropped or contaminated. I record video, and when I play back mostly what I hear is a loud hiss, and only barely audible low sounds such as talking. Any ideas? I recently updated is there any way to revert? Also after update the video and camera functioned locked up as I was trying to use them. Thanks!
Nothing is blocking my speaker, no case, and I did already try cleaning it. Audio playback is fine elsewhere.

I don't know about the timing of my issue, maybe microphone sensitivity was adjusted in the software update? However, my device was just out of warranty, so out of desparation (I use my video for baby stuff and I neeeed it , I stuck a straight pin in the mic hole and swirled around, it works just fine now. There was no visible dirt in the hole, it hadn't gotten dirty, I take good care of it, and yet something must have been in there. The mic works now after the pin fix, and I've seen several other places it has worked for others, wouldn't use this fix maybe if you're still in warranty.

Ipod touch 4g has broken pins and the hold button is defective, is it eligible for off warranty replacement online it says it'd be $99.99

i have an ipod touch 4g 16gb ios 6.1.5.
the dock port pins are damaged badly, music has not played for a while but is come and go now. dont know why (without headphones)
and the hold button doesn't work, will apple still honor the "off warranty replacement thingy" i had issues with my old ipod (not dock issues)
i know they check the dock port on arrival, but i need to know if the ipod will qualify or not
thanks in advance

Almost assuredly the answer is yes. Take it to an Apple store for replacement or contact them using the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page.

Why does my ipod touch only give me sound and no video when connected to tv

whenever I connect my ipod touch to my flat screen to play a movies or watch a music video saved on the ipod touch ... I get the audio .... sometimes it will show the video but most times its does not ... simply put ... Why? and how do i fix?

cor-el,
Thank you for the help. I followed your instructions and it worked in Safe Mode. I went through my Add-ons and disabled them one at a time until I found the culprit.
Additional question: If I set up Sync and run it for my desktop and laptop, then turn my add-on back on, will it continue to interfere? Or only when it tries to re-sync? I'm asking because I love the add-on that causing the trouble and will have a hard time letting it go.
Thanks again for the help.

IPod touch 4G deleted settings app and most of my music HELP please

I have an iPod touch 4G 64GB running on ios 5. Last night I slid the bar to unlock the screen and the slider stayed locked to the right and the iPod had locked up. I left it and went to bed. This morning it opened OK but my settings app has disappeared. I have looked for it in spotlight search and it doesn't come up and being on my device. Other weird things happened also. All my apps had been organised into folders and all my folders have gone and i now have 10 screens of apps. Also most of my music has gone from the music player. When I go to browse my music around 90% of it is showing grey in the song list and can't be played. Around 10% shows black and plays on the device. This iPod is around 1 year old (christmas present from a year ago) and has never been jailbroken. Can someone please help because i know that it is impossible to delete any of the default apps but the settings app has gone from the device entirely.

OK I have solved the problem I had so wanted to post it up here in case anyone else ever has the same problem. Actually I haven't solved the problem.....the problem was that my iPod removed all of my apps from their folders....the consequence was that i had more than 176 apps which is the most that will fit on the 11 pages apple allow us to have on the device.....so I started putting them back into folders....I would get them down to 3-4 pages then do a reset (holding home and off button etc)....then when the device restarted more apps appeared and my settings was one of them.....I figure that is why it wouldn't show up in spotlight search either....it wasn't that it was hidden rather there wasn't room for it on the device. Hope this helps others.......and APPLE.....please find out why my iPod removed all my apps frim their folders in the first place.

My sister's iPod Touch 4G has blacked out and the Apple with the slice is dissapearing and re-appearing. The Lock button doesn't work and it won't cut on at all so iTunes isn't connecting to it. What do I do?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place in recovery mode use one of these programs:

If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
For MAC or PC

- 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 pod touch makes a shutter sound and goes to the power off slider screen for no reason tried restoring several times and wonder if it is an internal error this ipod has no camera

my ipod touch makes a shutter sound ( no camera on this ipod ) and then goes to the power off slider screen. It will do this several times and then screen goes blank have restored several times with no change is it terminal or can it be repaired this was purchased as a refurb

If you press and hold the home button and click on the sleep button once, the iPod will make a screenshot of your home screen and add it to the photos on your device.
If you don't press the home button or the sleep button during to do this, one of your buttons might be stuck.
Try to reset the iPod by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again, ignore the "slide to turn off" message when you press and hold the buttons.

My Ipod touch 2gen has problems locking up and not starting

I have a 2gen Ipod Touch that has locked up a few times lately when I was using it. Frozen.
Then some times it would not start at all when I tried to turn it on. .
So I made sure the software was updated and it was at 4.2.1 and it said it was up to date.
So I restored it but it locked up again and at times would not restart. I restored it again once I did get it restarted.
It is still having the same problem. Sometimes when I go to start it won't start so I rehold the two buttons again for 30 seconds and the apple logo appears.
Sometimes it starts with the white apple logo and sometimes it shows that the battery is red (very low).
It doesn't seem to do the same thing each time there is a problem. This has been going on for a week.
It just did it again and I tried to start it but it wouldn't take the 30 second boot so I plugged it in. It took several times of trying the 30second rebooting but finally it came on with white apple logo but then it said the battery was at 100%. Not low.
What do you think? Is the battery going bad or what?
I'm ready to buy a new battery and try to install that.

My question is the my daughter has an ipod touch with alot of music and games on it, but the computer that had itunes in it and all the apps and music is now gone. How can I transfer all her games and music her new computer without loosing her stuff?

My daughter has an ipod touch with alot of games and music on it. The computer it was synced to is forever gone and on her new computer some of the games dont show up along with her music. She is worried if she connects it to her new computer all will be lost. Is there anyway for this to not happen? The ipod is on its last life due to a cracked screen, and as for the games she has spent money on them such as smurf village and others. When i looked at game center on my phone about less than half of that game showed up. Is there anyway to fix these things before its to late and eveything is gone forever?
THANK YOU.
