There is a problem with the left headphone or stereo  headphone jack connection in the ipod touch 2nd generation

I have had my ipod touch 2nd generation for 3 yrs. Now its been a year with this problem but i never seem to get it fixed because i lost my warranty and repair certificate a year ago. So  the problem is whenever I put in a headphone jack for some reason only the right head phone or right speaker works not the left, but when i place the ipod on the docking port both speakers on my stereo work.
Now I have taken great care of this thing. Never lost it. I assume that a connection inside the jack port is pushed in from debrie (forgot how to spell that word)  because, I always place my ipod into my pocket. The only way to get the left speaker or headphone to work is to push on the headphone jack so it tilts, then the left speaker works; but when i release it the left speaker or headphone turns off or stop making sound. So i know its not wiring problems its the connection for the headphone jack to the ipods jack's connection for the left speaker. Though microphones work.
My question is can this be a DIY or do i have to take it in to a local apple store. Problem i lost the warranty and protection repair form or license 2 years ago. I have had no problems with my ipod at all these years until this problem has consisted to happen since last year.
Anything?
Thanks,

- If you want to replace the headphone jack yourself see:
iPod Touch Repair - iFixit
- Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price, You get a new battery.  However, it may not be worth it for a 2G iPod.
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing- A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google from more places.

    The warranty for the iPhone is not and has never been International.
    Warranty and support are ONLY valid in the country of origin.  The only exception is the EU where the entire EU is treated as one country.
    If the device will be used in India, buy it in India.
    An unlocked iPhone will work on any supported GSM carrier world wide.  The LTE portion of a US purchased, unlocked iPhone is unlikely to work outside North America as it does not support the appropriate bands used in other countries.

  • Problem with Powerbook G4 - 15 inch, machine ins currently connected to the

    Problem with Powerbook G4 - 15 inch, machine ins currently connected to the DVI/AVI adapter so I can use the powerbook with a monitor attached, and have been doing so for about 3 months so far, with no problems, now, it wont boot up without giving me the grey screen with the "please restart, hold done restart button for several seconds etc". I did the power management reset, take out battery - even though battery dead, and remove adapter, hold down button for 5 seconds etc... it worked, finally booted up, but the DVI/AVI monitor adapter stuff was not connected when it booted up. When i put them back on, and tried to restart, i get the same "please restart, hold done restart button for several seconds etc" what do you think could be happening, could it be the DVI/AVI adapter or something a lot more serious

    Thanks and noted.
    I'd suggest you post in the PowerBook G4 area. This forum is for
    older, pre-G3 PowerBooks and so is probably not the
    most likely place for you to get help with your G4.
    Good luck.

  • Problems syncing iPod Touch (2nd generation) with iMac under Mountain Lion

    When syncing my iPod Touch (2nd generation) with my iMac (under Mountain Lion) the entries in my diaries/agendas do not sync. Apps and music sync without a problem. What must I do?

    I have this problem.. and after spending time at the Genius Bar yesterday, I discovered that my old ipod touch is obsolete..( the Ipod touch is a 32.bit system, while the newer operating system is 64... so they're simply not compatible.)
    I expressed great dismay that my perfectly good ipod touch was now obsolete...  then the genius suggested I export my contacts and calendars to Google..
    That was easy to do, and then, on the Google community forum i learned about nuevasync.com, which lets you synch all of this back to your ipod touch via Exchange.
    WOrked like a charm.
    Nuevasync. com is free for an initial trial (10 days?) and then costs only 15$ per YEAR.. so I'll use this as a good work-around

  • TS1702 what is the point of the Ipod touch(2nd generation)?Every single app Is not compatible with it.Seems like a complete ripoff to me.My phone was alot cheaper and does way more.Very frustrated with this device.

    what is the point of the Ipod Touch(2nd generation)?Every single app is not compatible with it.Am I missing something?My cell phone cost 1/2 as much and does way more.This is why I don't normally purchase any apple products.Overpriced flashlight,that's about all it does.

    There are still some apps compatible, with the 2G. Also, since September, Apple has now allowed download the last version of apps that were compatible with the 2G but have been updated to no longer be compatibles
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app

    I have an Ipod Touch 2nd generation. I bought a Itunes card and when I went to add game apps(like Temple Run) to my Ipod it said I couldn't.Is there a way to upgrade this ipod without having to buy a new one to be able to play the games?

    You can update it to 4.2.1
    Open itunes, connect ipod.  If there is an update available, then it will prompt you to update.

    All you can do is get a newer model iPod. The 2G can only go as high as 4.2.1. Its hardare does not support a higher iOS version

    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

  • The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.

    The speakers on my iPod Touch 2nd generation stopped working.  The volume doesn't even register - can't turn it up or down.  On occasion the headphones will work when plugged in.  Turned it off and on, tried reset, nothing works.  I bought it second hand so no AppleCare. What can I do?

    Try restoring the iPod via iTunes on your computer.  First from backup and if problem persists restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation

    Is there any way to transfer photos from ipod touch (2nd generation & OS is 4.2.1) to PC? I am struggling a lot. The OS cannot be upgradable beyond 4.2.1
    I am wondering if there could be many other ways to transfer the photos like:
    1. with the help of any android app
    2. ipod touch to iphone/ipod latest version
    3. any 3rd party free softwares (there are paid 3rd party softwares but I dont want to invest)
    I did try some of the options:
    1. I could emailed only 6 photos in one email (I have almost 800 photos and would be time consuming.
    2. I'm trying to access my google account on my ipod but it keeps coming up with "oops! your browser seems to have cookies disabled..." My cookies are not disabled. Safari is the only browser for ipod touch and could not be able to installed not only any new browser but also any iphone apps. Updates for the existing apps not possible at all. So this option of uploading the photos on google drive is ruled out.
    Anybody is there to help me out? Sorry for such a long inventory.
    Thank you!

    If they are in the iPod' Saved Photos album then:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    If they were synced to the iPod you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView

    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Using those instructions you may also be able to select PayPal if that is allowed in your country.
