What do I do when my iPod 3g gets hot on the back?

     My iPod was in my pocket and I went to pull it out. It was really hot on the back. I had recently gotten a case a few weeks earlier and hadn't put into consideration that it could cause a problem. I then put it on the charger and came back 15-20min later and put it back in my pocket. Later, the same thing happened it didn't (and hasn't) turned back on. I  often keep my iPod on all day and don't take it out of the case. I researched and found one should take of the case while charging the iPod. What should I do?

- Leave it out of the case
- Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If still problem that indicates a hardwar problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

    It all depends upon your configuration.
    You should first determine in a case like this if your iPhone or other device has been assigned a valid DHCP address.
    If you see a value like 169.x.x.x, you have not been assigned a valid DHCP address. This may occur for many reasons, most often because the DHCP server component of your router is not issuing them, or your device is not commmunicating with it. Valid DHCP addresses are generally in the ranges of…
    • class A: 10.0.0.1 through 10.255.255.255
    • class B: 172.16.0.1. through 172.31.255.255 and seldom used, and
    • class C: 192.168.0.1 through 192.168.255.255
    If you have a valid DHCP address, then the issue is likely that your router is not properly configured, in that it does not have valid DNS server addresses stored in its configuration files.
    Generally, a router or gateway requires that you configure its assigned address, a valid subnet mask, and primary and secondary DNS servers. While you can use any valid DNS address for primary, secondary, tertiary and subsequent server entries, by convention, most technicians set the pair assigned by the internet service provider for your service area. In Eugene OR, for example, Comcast DNS addresses are set to…
    • primary: 68.87.69.146 and
    • secondary: 68.87.85.98
    Check to see that your router or gateway configuration contains such information, as the result of being issued a valid DHCP address but not being able to identify a DNS server leads to the sort of issue outlined by the original poster.
    You can easily determine if this is the case by querying a known site by its numeric address, rather than by its canonical name. If one takes you to the site but the other fails to do so, then you have the DNS issue I referred to.

    Not quite, because you can still redownload all your purchased apps and music.  And everything that is synced from applications on your computer such as your calendar and your contacts can be resynced.

    What does it mean when your ipod is in recovery mode and how do I solve this problem?

    Unless you have a backup from which you can restore, yes you will lose all of your data and settings.
    You should be able to sync your content back to the iPad if you have been syncing with iTunes all along. If you don't sync with iTunes, you can download much of your paid content again for free as long as you use the same Apple ID. This explains downloading past purchases.

    Unfortunately, at this point, you must restore the device before you can move on. There is nothing you can do to avoid it now.

  • What does that mean when your iPod only charges when you battery dies? (meaning: when my battery isn't dead it wont charge but when the battery is dead thats the only time it will charge)

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - 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.

  • What do I do when my iPod classic locks up

    What do I do when my iPod classic locks up?

    Reset the iPod.
    To do this, turn the Hold switch on, then off again and press-and-hold both the Menu and the Select (centre) buttons together for at least ten seconds. You may need to try this a couple of times for it to work.
    If it still doesn't fix it, try the 5Rs procedure, which is explained in the following article; http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/classic/
