Please help!
(software is 7.1.2)
I have tried in the headphones thing, plugging and unplugging headphones, turning off my ipod and turning it back on, and none of those worked!
HELP ME!

- 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. A problem with the jack is the likely cause
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

My iPod touch 4g stuck on headphone mode

I dropped my iPod in the sink while i was washing my hands, and the speakers havent worked since. I plugged in the headphones and the audio worked then, but the outside speakers aren't working. Everything else is working just fine. Also the noise for games dont work either.

Have you tried the standard fixes in order:
- Reset:
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.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPOd to factory defaults
If still a problem I suspect a hardware problem probably due to the water.

If restoring from backup did not solve the problem you have a problem with the headphone jack. If under warranty Apple will replace it under warranty. There are third-partys places that can replace it too. Yu can, if you are capible, replace it yourself. See:

Saying you tried everything provides little information since we do not know what your "everything" is.

My iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode

Hi,
My Third Generation iPod Touch is stuck in DFU Mode (Completely Black Screen) and I cannot exit it as I have a broken Sleep/Wake button on the iPod. Even worse, iTunes will not see the device so I can restore it.
The only thing that I can think of is to wait until it's battery has completely drained and then restore it.
Please help me!

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and then restoring:

My iPod touch is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore?

Okay my Ipod Touch is stuck in recovery mode and will not restore because "the ipod software update server cannot be contacted". I have tried to restart my computer, restart my ipod, tried different computers, and re-intalled AND updated my itunes and it still will not restore. It is stuck on the picture of the usb cable pointing to itunes and won't do anything else. I'm trying to restore it because my memory was full and I wanted to clean it out and now the ipod is useless, please help me restore it!

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

IPod touch 4G stuck in recovery mode- it won't even go into DFU

When I accidentally disconnected my iPod touch 4G during an update yesterday, it automatically went into recovery mode (the screen with the USB cable pointing up towards an iTunes logo). Now it won't turn off, it is recognised by neither my laptop nor by iTunes, it won't even go into DFU, so there's absolutely no way, as far as I can tell, to fix it. I've looked all over the internet, and the only other person I can find who has experienced a similar problem hasn't received an answer in about a year.

Ipod touch (2G) stuck in "restore" mode. Need HELP please

I have contacted Apple support several times since Friday and was just hung up on by an extremely rude lady in customer support. I am really frustrated and just trying to get my 5 yr old little boys ipod touch working again.
The situation is that our son's old computer crashed. So we have a newer computer set up for him. Reinstalled itunes on it. Called Apple on Friday, really nice rep gave me several instructions for transfering purchases, making sure everything was up to date and turning home sharing on. Did all that, got off the phone with him and then the computer tells me that the ipod needs and update.
Clicked ok, and update starts going for a few minutes.....then get an error message that says that the ipod is basically stuck in "restore" mode and needs to be reset to factory settings. It won't let me do anything to the ipod. It won't restore, reset, anything. Just shows a picture of usb cable and says to connect to itunes.
Connect to itunes and it keeps giving me say error message.
Will someone please help me? Apple support sure won't.

Did you try to connect in recovery mode, to start the restore process again? Connecting in Recovery mode is explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Also delete the ipod ipsw firmware file on your computer, to make iTunes download a new copy to restore from. Depending on your OS, this file can be found here:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Vista and 7: C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates

IPod touch 5g stuck in recovery mode.

Hi.
I tried to update the software on my ipod touch 5g, for some reason the connection was lost between the ipod and the PC midway through installing the software on the ipod, now im stuck in recovery mode.
I keep losing connection between ipod and pc since trying to update the software. Basically the connection is lost then comes straight back.
My ipod shows the lead with an arrow pointing towards the itunes logo.
Itunes tells me that im in recovery mode and gives me an option to restore.
Whenever I have tried to restore it downloads the latest software then nothing happens, just stays in restore mode.
I have tried putting it into DFU mode but nothing appears to happen after following the steps.
Really annoying as the next available appointment at the Apple store is on Monday and would like to get it fixed a lot sooner than that if poosible.
Many Thanks

Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Try another cable
Then try restoring on another computer.
Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
