My Ipod touch will only flash when I select an app

When I go to select an app the whole screen will flash but it does not open. I have restored the Ipod but still nothing. Help )

When you still have a problem after restoring an iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you likely have a hadware rpoblem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into a itouch radio. When I take it out, it goes blank. Why can I do?

My Ipod touch will only work when plugged into an Itouch radio. When I take it out of the charger, it goes blank. The battery shows fully charged. It appears that the battery is no longer charging. What should I do?

Try a reset: Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost. If that fails, the battery may have gone kaput.

Ipod touch will only charge when I press up on the charger

My ipod isn't recognizing the USB wire properly, and will only charge when I press it in a certain way (where the wire connects to the ipod)
please help!

Have you tried another cable?
Do you have a wall charger? If so, have you used it and tried other outlets?

How come my Ipod Touch will only charge when plugged into a computer and not a docking station or wall socket?

My IPhone works with both the charging USB cable as well as the wall socket and docking station. Additionally, my IPod used to charge using both the wall socket plug in and the docking station. My IPod will stay play music when plugged into the docking station, but won't charge. Further, when I plug my IPod into my computer all it will do is charge and is not recognized by ITunes. I have done both a soft and hard reset.

If the iPhone has no problem with the same cable then
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch will not update when using iTunes Remote App...

Hi all, hoping that someone can help here...
I am using a couple of iPod Touch's to control my iTunes and Airport via the Remote App. In the main the whole thing works really well with wireless music all over the house via Airport and Apple TV.
The main frustration is that the Touch's have stopped updating as the tracks change. This used to work but unfortunately didn't notice when it stopped.
If I play anything, iTunes DJ, playlist etc... it appears that the first track is the one that displays unless I close the app and re-open.
I can still play/pause/ffwd/rwd and it all works despite what is showing on the screens which is really confusing...
The the two iPhone 4's and the iPad 2 work perfectly so am at a loss as to figure out how/why etc.
I run iTunes on a WinXP machine, with iTunes 10.2.1.1 and the iPod Touch's are both running 4.2.1 (8C148). On is model MB533BT and one is MB528BT.
Any help/suggestions greatfully appreciated.
Thanks all

UPDATE:
Whilst I was typing this I noticed that whilst in the study both iPods updated with each track change for some considerable time. I do wonder whether there is something in this as the router was less than one metre away.
I also then noticed that the one that stopped updating was the 8Gb model MB528BT. The other unit, the 32Gb MB533BT has continued to work.
Completely flummoxed with this!

My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch.   I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

All of a sudden, my ipod touch will only recognize/play purchased items. I then have to completely reset the ipod and re-sync. I've had to do this 6 times, and support has been no help.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?

TS2771 My iPod touch will only charge through computer, new wall charger will not charge it, but charges other iPods

My sons iPod touch will only charge with computer. This has happened since update. Wall charger charges other iPods/iPhone. Restored to original defaults. And still does not work.

I believe it started with the update prior to 5.1.1. I just udated it to the 5.1.1, thinking it would resolve the problem.

I just found out my iPod touch will only sync to one library, what is the difference in technology of the iPod touch and iPod that makes this so?

I just found out in iTunes help that my iPod touch will only sync to one library unlike iPod. What is the difference in technology between the iPod touch and the iPod that makes this so?
Thanks

You can manage music and videos among different computers/libraries by following these instructions. You can only sync apps and photos from one library.

My ipod touch will only play the same song over and over unless you manually fast forward?

My ipod touch will not shuffle through the songs. It just plays the same song over and over. All that shows at the top is the info picture. How do I fix this?

Do this:
Play a song.
Tap the screen once so you see the scrubber.
To the left of the scrubber, there's a set of two arrows going in a circle - if it's blue, it's set to repeat.
Click on it once to make it white - no repeat.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Try another cable and anothen computer if necessary. Also
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

- 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.

8GB IPod Touch Will Only Hold 1,000 songs

I have an 8GB IPod Touch and it will hold only around 1,000 songs. I have nothing else on it. Some of the music was downloaded from ITunes, and some downloaded from CDs. According to Apple specs, the 8GB iPod can hold up to 2,000 songs, up to 7,000 photos, up to 8 hours of video, or some of each.
Any thoughts?

if they are in 128 kbps AAC format !
if you use higher bitrated tunes, they will be bigger in size and use more space.
enable the +convert higher bit rate songs to AAC 128+ setting in the summary tab of the device when it is connected to iTunes.

Ipod touch will only charge in docking station after 3.0 upgrade

Prior to my recent (this week) upgrade to 3.0, my ipod touch could charge off of my desktop computer, my laptop, and my Apple USB wall charger adapter. That adapter is not the current version, but the prior model. Since I've done the upgrade, the ipod touch no longer recognizes it's attached to the adapter (and the wall outlet) or to the USB cable and computer. I am using the Apple supplied USB cable, so it is not a matter of using non apple equipment or Firewire. This week, it will only charge using a lamp that has a docking station. I've had the ipod touch about 4 months, and didn't have this issue until the 3.0 upgrade. Does anyone else have this problem and any ideas on how to fix it?

My Ipod Touch will only search for available Wifi networks for a second then stop, and it will never find any networks anywhere.

OK I own the 1st generation Ipod touch and granted I bought it used and its pretty old, but the Wifi doesnt work at all. When I click on the checkmark box it turns on and it looks like its trying to find a connection, but it only tries for one second (literally) and then stops trying to look for a connection. It wont bring up any connection to choose from no matter where I go, it wont find one connection. Please help me this thing is driving me insane. I was told it could be a bad IP address, and that there is a way to get a new one. But How? I already reset it and restored it and nothing seems to fix it. So now I dont know what to do with it now.

So you also rebooted your router correct? Does the iPod still connect okay to other networks?
