My White 4G Ipod Touch has a strange smell to it and is warm to the touch. What should i do?

The smell isnt like a burning smell but i cant really describe it. The smell is around the ipod but you can only smell it if your nose is really close to it. I'm worried that the smell that is radiating from it is hazardous to my health. I just turned it off for a while and its cool now but the smell is slightly still there. Anyone else having this problem, or knows what i should do? Oh and also the bottom venting part is where the smell is the strongest.

With heavy use the iPod can get quite warm. If you are concerned you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The smell is likely normal butt I can't smell it where I am.

My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no update available. Yet I see that IOS 5 is out.. Why is it that my Ipod says no update is available or that my Ipod is up to date?

My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no Update available. Yet I see that IOS 5.0 is out. Why does my Ipod say that there is no update available and my Ipod is up to date yet there is newer software available?

Because you have an older model that is not upgradable to iOS 5.x.

My 1st generation Ipod touch won't turn on at all and whenever I press the buttons to reset it all I get is a white screen, or a white screen with black lines across.

You can work through the five 5 R's of troubleshooting to rule out the possibility of corrupted software.

It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity. A third party service will actually replace the damaged part for a little less. Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.

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?

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable if available
- Try another charging source
- 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.

HT4623 my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?

my ipod touch will no longer connect to my laptop because my ipod is not up to date, but it won't find a newer software. what should I do?

the computer is a macbook pro, mac os x 10.6.08 and the ipod touch is ios 6.0.
the problem is that just updated the itunes on the computer and now the ipod won't connect because apparently the itunes on the ipod is not up to date but the iod is telling me that is is up to date, so i can't do a software update.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working.

I've had my iPod 5th gen for a few months now and out of nowhere the microphone has stopped working. It won't pick up anything, I can't use it for recording, face time, siri or anything else. Every time I try and record and play it back its just all fuzzy, is there anyway of fixing it without having to send it off for repair?

- Make sure the mic hole is clear and unobstructed. It is the little hole on the back by the camera lens(if has back camera). For the 16 GB one without the back camera the mic hole is on the tope edge near the center.
- Open the Voice Memos app and see if you see movement on the VU meter needle with changes in noise level trying to be recorded.
- 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.
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

You can also send it to Apple.

My ipod classic has started making a mewing sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It will not play except when connected to my computer. I tried resyncing and that did not work. How do I fix this problem?

My ipod classic has started making a mewling sound and all it does is scroll through the songs. It does not play on my Bose sound dock or through earbuds. It will play when connected to the computer...but that makes it hard to take it on a walk with me I thought it might be a synching problem so tried that--still doesn't work. How do I fix this problem with out restoring it to the factory setting? I do not want to lose all my music content as some of it I cannot replace easily. Please help with suggestions and advice. Thanks. Karen in GA

Have you recharge your iPod for at least 2 hours, preferably till the Full charge Battery symbol comes ON.?
