Older ipod speaker stopped working

my son was given an older version Ipod .  Its an 8gb.  When i initially got it, it wouldnt load anything, now i am able to finally load music, but now the speaker doesnt work.  I cant get online in a public place, and i cant load apps.  I have done a full restore with no avail.  I am beginning to think this is why i didnt want this in the first place.  I have music loaded and still no speaker.  If i plug headphones in i have sound.  Wen i "slide to unlock" i have sound but nothing after that. Is it a lost cause?  It orginally had the other persons name attached and somehow it now shows my sons name (I have a nano that i use) and all of the restore is gone.  I am using the updated Itunes and have tried it on all of the computers (XP and Windows 8)  If anyone can help, i would appreciate it

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that points to a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The appointment is free.

  • Why does the ipad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8

    WWhy does the iPad 2 speaker stopped working after upgrading to ios 8 why plz respond

    Hi A_S85,
    It appears your iPhone has an issue relating to sound. The following article may help you find a solution:
    If you hear no sound or distorted sound from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch speaker - Apple Support
    Can't hear anything from the built-in speaker of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch? Maybe you can hear, but the sound is distorted, muffled, intermittent. Or maybe you hear static or crackling noises. If your iOS device has any of these issues, follow these steps.
    Follow these steps and test the sound after each one.
    Go to Settings > Sounds and drag the Ringer And Alerts slider to turn the volume up.
    If you can hear sound from the speaker, then the speaker works. Continue with these steps to find the setting or switch that's affecting the sound. If you can't hear sound from the speaker, contact Apple Support.
    Make sure the Ring/Silent switch is set to ring. If you can see orange, it's set to silent.
    Restart your device.
    Open an app that has music or sound effects. Adjust the volume with the volume buttons or the slider in Control Center.
    Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn off Bluetooth.
    If there's still no sound, connect a headset. If you can hear sound through the headset, remove it and clear any dust or debris from the headset jack of your device.
    If the device is in a case, make sure that the case doesn't block the speaker.
    Use a brush to gently clear any debris from the speaker and Lightning connector (or 30-pin dock connector). The brush should be clean and dry and have soft bristles.
    Update your device to the latest version of iOS.
    If you followed these steps and still hear no sound or distorted sound, contact Apple Support.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

    My Ipod has stopped working properly since the laptop shut down during synching.
    My ipod is being slower and wont show any music. when I go into general settings it says the music and videos are loading..
    It wont let me into settings all of the time either.
    My applications and games have become slow or unresponsive.
    The ipod keeps resetting itself, I have tried resetting it to no avail.
    I tried plugging it into itunes but it freezes itunes and wont show up on my computer.
    When I switch off the ipod it shows a spinning wheel until the battery dies, which could be nearly 2 hours!!
    does anyone have any advice as to what to do?
    currently ive reset it - nothing has happened
    ive let the battery drain itself then recharged it to see if that would make a difference - no difference
    Help ASAP needed

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

  • Why did my 4th generation iPod touch stop working with my docking station?

    I have an Altec docking station and my iPod suddenly stopped working on it.  The station comes on and makes a beeping noise like it is connected when I insert the iPod.  However, the music will only come out of the iPod.  The docking station will charge the battery on the iPod, so I assume it isn't broken. 

    - While charging try resetting the iPod:
    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.
    - Next try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if still problem restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    - However, I really think that the iPod has a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.  If defective Apple should give you a refurbished iPod.

  • Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • External Speaker stopped working - get sound through headset

    I have a Zire 72.  The external speaker stopped working.  If I listen to music or voice memos through a headset, I can hear the message so the programs are working.  I have tried a soft reset but no results.  Has anyone had this expierience?  Sounds and alerts all set to high in preferences.
    Thanks.
    Post relates to: Zire 72

    The speaker cutoff switch may be stuck in the headset jack. 
    Try this procedure.
    Turn the Z72 off. Get a non-conductive electrical contact cleaner (Home Depot has this in the electrical dept.)
    Spray a few drops on the headset plug.
    Insert and remove the plug in the headphone jack 5-10 times.
    Wait several minutes for the cleaner to dry.
    Power on the Z72 and see if the speaker works. If not, try the procedure again.

  • What can I do if my ipod just stopped working?

    what can I do if my ipod just stopped working? I just purchased it on Aug 23, 2013. I was jogging with it then it just shut down and have not been able to turn it back on.

    It could be, since Apple is not liable for user negligence. However, there is no way to definitevely say yes or no on these forums. Apple will run a diagnostic on the device and draw their own conclusions. I would advise not telling them that part though. Best of luck.

  • Main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    main speaker stopped working. Phone does not ring, sound only through earpiece/headphone. What to do?

    I spoke to the reseller today and they aggred to exchanged it. They didn't elaborate on the actual cause but thought that it had to be a hardware issue.
    It could either be the issue that Euvix suggested or it could be as simple as the outer speaker is simply not working.
    Anesi, did you use the phone before the upgrade? Looking at what you've written I take you didn't so I would go back and get it exchanged.

  • Left external speaker stopped working

    Left external speaker stopped working, right works fine. When I connect headphones, they work fine. Have tried two different sets of speakers, deleted plists and reset pram. Please help!

    Hmm. I think its not a sound card and its not a speaker problem because both parts (left speaker and sound card) seems to be ok as you have posted in your message.
    Im not quite sure what could be wrong but possibly this issue has something to do with the headphone jack there is a tiny switch inside the headphone jack which enables and disables the speakers if the headphone jack has been plugged.
    Maybe this switch does not work properly.
    What to say in such case the hardware needs to be replaced but in most cases the headphone jack is a part of the motherboard and in such case the whole mobo needs to be replaced and I think this is not worth because of the high parts costs

  • IPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    iPod touch stopped working when charging now won't turn on at all

    Try in order:
    - After charging or half an hour, reset the iPod:
    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.
    - Connect the iPod to the computer and if it shows in iTunes, restore the iPod via iTunes.
    - See if placing the iPod in recovory mode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Touch stopped working and is in recovery mode. What to do?

    My daughters iPod touch stopped working today. It has a picture of an USB cable pointing to the blue iTunes icon. IMac says it needs to be restored and I don't want to lose her content on the iPod. What to do?

    You have to restore the iPod. That is the only way. Your iPod is sick.

  • My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black

    My sons iPod touch stopped working, it won't charge in a docking station and the computer/itunes won't recognize it when connected.  We have tried holding the power and home button at the same time for several seconds, and the screen still stays black.  Thanks!

    Hello skdog I possibly think your ipod touch is black because it has not charged. If your dock is broken it might just mean the dock will be broken and so might be the USB port. You should see an Apple shop nearby and hand it over and see what they can do. I hope this information works!

  • New ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    new ipod nano stopped working while playing will not even turn tried to charge it still nothing HELP!!!

    Change the rice and dry for another couple of days. Then:
    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.
