My two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation has a faulty earphone socket

Hi guys,
I have a two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation which has developed a faulty earphone socket. When I plug in my earphones, the music is distorted if I have the volume over halfway. I also use it to supply all the background music for church every week and I am struggling to get a good mix with it turned down so as not to distort. The situation is that it was a gift to me and the person who purchased it in January no longer resides in the UK and now cannot find the original receipt. However, someone did tell me that as soon as I switched on the iPod and setup the Wi-Fi and GPS, it sent information to Apple??
Question's are, is that true? Will Apple repair it without the original receipt?

I have checked the warranty details online as you suggested and it says it is under warranty until the 7th January 2015. I then tried to explain what the problem was, but it kept asking me to enter my telephone number but as this is a USA website, it did not recognise my telephone number, also that the stores that I could take it into were all in the USA. Have tried to see if there is an UK option on the site, but as yet, no Joy.

- Are you sure you have a 2G iPod and not a 1G? Yucan can itell the difference here by the shape of the black antenna cover on the back of the iPOd.

Ipod Touch 5th Generation has songs on it that are not mine

When my "Show All Music" setting is toggled to ON, my Ipod Touch 5th Generation will have several songs I don't own or recognize that is mixed in with my music. These songs are not downloaded to my device, but somehow the Cloud thinks that I own them and has them stored for me. I have checked my ITunes library on my computer but it doesn't show these songs there either. Where did these come from and how can I get them removed?

Are they the free U2 songs that Apple pushed to your for free?
If so, to remove them
Remove U2 Album
Otherwise:
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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.

hello, my ipod 5th generation has a broken screen, and also the inner lcd seem to be faulty also, anybody has an idea how much it cost to fix or replace it with apple?

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for a 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

My ipod touch 5th gen has frozen

my ipod touch 5th generation has frozen. it will turn on, but will not let me slide across to put in my passcode. also, i cant turn it off as you have to slide across the screen to power it off. HELP!!!! the ipod is also fairly new as i got it in january and it has never been involved in water or height accidents .

If not successful, try the remaining items of:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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.
- Try another cable
- 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.

Just sent in daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed....They sent me a new one....is there anyway to get the contents of her old one onto the new one? I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.

Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.

I asked one of the shop assistants when they were getting the iPod Touch 5th Generations and they had said that they didnt know that they would recieve it in a few months but they'll recieve it before next year. Anyone know the OFFICIAL RELEASE DATE of it in Australia ? I want to order it online but my mum doesnt have a credit card, lol .

No, Apple has not set a date.

My iPod Touch 5th Generation loses charge when the device is turned OFF!!! Help!

I bought my iPod Touch 5th Generation a couple months back and it has been working beautifully. I loved the new design, features, color choices, etc. However, just a couple days ago, my iPod has been acting up. I turned it off one night with a FULL battery (I usually turn it off when I'm not using it) and when I turned it back on in the morning, half the battery was gone. Originally, I assumed that maybe I just didn't swipe to turn it off right. WRONG. I charged it up, used it, and turned it off again for the night. When I turned it on the next day, the battery was practically gone. I tried not to panic, so I just restored the iPod to its original settings. I erased EVERYTHING. Then I charged it for a good six hours. The problem didn't go away.
This isn't a cheap device. I'm sure you guys know that. The only reason why I think this could be happening could be because of the new iOS 6.1.2 update. I updated my iPod about a week or so ago. And now I'm having this serious problem? That is the ONLY possibility I could think of. And this thing is brand new. I treat it like it is made of glass. Literally. I'm so meticulous when it comes to my things.
So can someone please help me try to fix this problem? I still have a warranty and the iPod is under a year old. To replace the battery now is ridiculous. It's brand new. I didn't pay hundreds of dollars for my iPod to croak on me after using it for a couple of months.
Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you so much!
