My ipod touch 4th generation isnt playing music on the app.

My ipod touch 4th gen wont let me play music. The first time i touch the app it just glitches and turns off. The secound time i touch it, it pops up to my playlists and wont let me change anything. Also, my lock screen button is jammed so i cant turn off my ipod and i'm sure that that would help. Please help!

  • My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music

    My ipod touch 4th generation wont play music. I hit the play button and it turns into a pause button but the music does not play and the song length thing stays at 0:00. It is brand new and has not been damaged. No songs are greyed out. Certain songs play but most dont. Please help.

    I have same issue with iPad3.  all songs play great, both songs I have downloaded and ones on iPad, except 2 albums by same artist that I bought from iTunes.  maybe more, but I have not found any others that seemingly hang exactly as you describe at 0.00 seconds and with pause button displayed.
    mindful meditation in everyday life and mindful meditation workshop....Jon-kabat zinn.  I can play these on my iPhone which is on same account without issue.
    I also checked console and don't see any relevant messages.
    I have restarted.
    I have not restored from backup, but I did do a complete restore a few days ago....I had lost my ipad(left in cart at Walmart), so sent remote wipe command....but got it back!  iCloud restore was perfect.  I takes a while, so hoping to avoid another restore and would rather find the issue.
    please advise.
    thanks,
    phil

  • My ipod touch 4th generation isnt charging with my cable. When i use my dad´s cable, it charges. But, however, after it´s fully charged (which takes strangely only a minute), i use it for five seconds and then it goes off. What should i do?

    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

    he menu button of the ipod touch (4th generation) is not working and the service center of ipod is asking us to pay for the fixation of the said item even though it's still on warranty. this is the case number 215866894. And the service center said that they don't cover that center part of the ipod so they're asking us money before they can fix it. We bought the ipod last december 8, 2010 and we brought it to the service center last april, 2011 here in the philippines. And until now they're not fixing it because they're asking us to pay half the price of the item which is 8,040 pesos..

    As advised, you need to call Apple about this.

    No one here works for Apple (no one who will reply, anyway) so there's nothing anyone here can do to help you with this issue.
    Good luck.

    what if i have and ipod touch 4th generation will i still get the iOS 7 update?

    No. The iPod 4 gen is below the cutoff for iOS7
    So it will not be able to upgrade to it

  • My ipod touch 4th generation dies after disconnected from the charger, and won't work in the computer (windows). Help would be apreciated!

         I hadn't used my ipod for about a week, and when I went to go charge it, I tried to disconnect it. When I did, it just shut off. I tried it with several other charger cords (both car and home), tried pressing power and home but only seemed to work when connected to the power and nothing when not connected, and I'm not exactly sure what the problem is. Do I need some in-depth tech support or what?

  • My iPod touch 4th generation is very hot at the top.... why

    This is  when I use it for about 5 minutes, after using it for a bit of wifi browsing, playing withs apps (that do not use a lot of memory or are do not use CPU and GPU0 and using my iPod to listen to music. I don't use my iPod straight after charging so that is not the problem. I tell you that it is so hot that you could fry an egg on it, it is at the tope of the device you can feel the heat and you can feel it on the front and on the back. Please help! It is in very good condition because it has had a case on it ever since I got it, it is still in warranty. What should I do? How much will it cost? How long will take?

    it is better that you get your iPod get checked by an Apple technician!!!
    because i think this problem is serious. My iPod 4G doesnot get that hot after the extensive use u have mentioned!!!

  • I just got an iPod touch 4th generation. When I plug the USB into the computer, the iPod does not recognize the charge and the computer/iTunes doesn't recognize the iPod. Please help.

    The computer I am referring to is a Windows. However, when I use the same USB cord and plug it into a MacBook Pro, the ipod is recognized and the ipod recognizes the computer. Also, it gets charge from the Wall outlet as well.

    empire_of_the_sun, the link you provided ois for other model iPods, not the iPod touch. You article refers you to:
    If you have an iPod touch, see iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows.
