- 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 another cable

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch built-in speakers wont work anymore. please help

Like I said my ipod touch built in speakers wont work now yesterday I was able to hear and use them when I was using the pianist app from the itunes store and it worked fine and today I redownloaded the digidrummer lite app since my old one for some reason didnt work and once I did download the app I synced to my ipod and tried to play and noticed that no sound came out so I tried other apps and also my music and also no sound. with headphones connected it works fine sound comes out and all.

K, so last night I tried the home+sleep/wake button hold thing and reset it that way and also just normal shutoffs which didnt fix it and also tried the ideas that you guys said and no go. everynow and then it would make the sound when I unlock it. so i just left it on and let the battery die see if that would do something it got to 10% and shuts off i guess so then i charged it on my stereo system with an ipod dock and was listening to music then i disconected it and to my suprise it started playing through the internal speakers again. I was skeptical at first so I turned it off and tried again it worked. so i went to the app that I think caused the problem in the first place called digidrummer lite I was able to hear the drums tom toms etc went to the home menu tried again played that app once more but this time there was no sound. I went to my music and everynow and then it would play but fade out or not play at all. so I took digidrummer off and so far the speakers are working again but I will still need to test them more.

So long story short. dropped it in water waited for two months, works fine now but the top button to lock it wont work.. any ideas?

Could be that there is corrosion of the contacts that is preventing making contact. This place does not specifically list that repair.

Deuce

Hi Deuce,
Do you have a protective case or film on the iPod? If you do try removing it and testing again.
You can restore the iPod to rule out software issues. This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305744 will walk you through restoring the iPod.
If the issue persists without the case and after restoring, the iPod may need hardware repair, you can get it repaired by making a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it, calling AppleCare, or requesting repair online.

What happens when you try to sync the podcasts? Error messages?
Have you successfully synced apps and posdcasts from this iTunes library before?

IPod Touch 2G Home button not working after OS4 upgrade

Hi there,
hope someone can help. Upgraded an iPod Touch 2G to OS4.1 and teh home button will not work now normally, but will work if its attached to a PC and iTunes. Anyone seen this before and how to fix it?
Cheers,
Martin

HI there,
thanks for the reply. Tried both of what you suggested, also tried the home button thing only working while plugged in with two computers and two different leads which is why I suspect is an operating system thing.
I may try downgrading the operating system next, just have to find a copy of an old one somewhere.
Cheers,
Martin

IPod touch 4 home button not working properly

I got my ipod in november 2010 and it worked fine up untill august where the home button just suddenly became undresponsive. I did not abuse my iPod i am very careful i have a case and no screen cracks/dents etc.. Now it works about 30% of the time and it is really annoying I had to turn on this awful feature where i geta virtual home button which is in the way of everything and i cant even arrange it properly. I am very dissapointed with apples express lane which provided absolutely no help and in their hardware. I have several freinds who got the same type of ipod at around the same time and they are having the same problems. Was it designed to do this? I am now wondering how much I am going to be charged for this. May I get it for free even though my warrenty expired very recently? thanks for the help

My iPod Touch 4g home button doesnt work

Hello. I bought a refurbished iPod touch 4g last may. When i recieved it the home button was indented into the iPod. Normally the rim of the button is flush with the glass surrounding it. With mine it was pressed down a few millimeters. I thought it was odd but ot worked fine so I didnt care. After a while the home button became slightly unresponsive and had to be pressed slightly more firmly for it to register. It kept getting worse until a few weeks it stopped working altogether. Previously i had been too lazy but I decided to send it in to Apple becuase it still had a warranty. Earlier today i got it back with a note saying that I had damaged it and it wasnt covered by the warranty. I was so ****** off because this wasn't my fault. Now i have no ideas what to do. How much would it cost to get the digitizer replaced by Apple? Should I do it myself? Is there an easier fix? Can i prove it wasnt my fault? Is it cheaper to buy another iPod?
(just fyi my ipod never got wet or damaged, i always kept it in a cas and kept it safe, before i had a 2g ipod touch and it worked fine. Are the 4gs prone to breaking?)

Yes, it should be covered by the warranty unless you spilled something on the iPod. However, have you tried the standed fixes of:
- Resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restoring the IPod to factory defaults/new iPod
to help ensure it is a hardware problem?

My passcode wont work on ipod touch the recovery mode wont work because of nno network connection, what do i do

my pascode wont work, ive tried the recovery mode but that wont work because of a network connection error, what do i do

Does the the computer connect to the internet?
If yes
Update Server
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
