What is wrong with my ipod touch 2nd gen?

Ive had this iPod since mid 2010. It's running iOS 4.2.1 and it's not jailbroken. A few months ago I encountered a problem with it. It started to fast forward my songs and pause them and skip them as if it had a mind of it's own. I thought it was a one off and it never really happened after that. Yesterday something happened to it which forced it into recovery mode and I had to restore it to factory settings. Today I added some new songs onto it and I starte listening and all I could hear was music and no singing, then I could faintly hear the singing. I thought there was something wrong with the song so I changed it and it was the same with the next one. I've tried 3 different sets of heaphones which all work on other devices so it's not the headphones. So my iPod has kind of turned into a karaoke machine but with some songs it works ok for a while but then messes up. Also I've noticed that the fastforwarding thing has become much much worse after I restored it.
I'm really stuck. What should I do? Everything else works fine on it. All my apps are ok. Just the music player is stuffed. Could the headphone jack be broken? It worked fine yesterday before I restored it. Should I restore it again? I've already tried restarting and resetting it and neither of them worked. Also I don't have much space left on it, should I take off the movie that ive got on it? Maybe the memory is kind of choked up as well? Thanks for any help guys. As I said pretty much everything works fine on it and I'm trying to not buy a new iPod if I can help it. Oh and sometimes when I'm typing and press the backspace button once or twice it goes and deletes everything on it's own. Things run slow-ish as well. Anyway to improve that?
Oh and may I also add when I can hear the singing in the songs sometimes it's normal, sometimes it sounds like they're singing underwater, sometimes it sounds like they're singing live, sometimes it sounds like they're robots...it's not how the songs are meant to sound. They didn't sound like that before and they don't sound like that on my laptop. There's something wrong with my iPod but idk if it's the headphone jack or a software/hardware problem. :/ :(

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

What is wrong with the ipod touch 4th gen battery?

I have an 8gb 4th gen ipod touch that I purchased in December 2011. I charged it completely last night after doing a full reset, and by morning the battery was only at half charge. I've turned off all unnecessary services, no apps were running, no music/video play, just in sleep mode. Still the battery drained down at least 50%.
Is anyone else experiencing these problems? Have you found a way to extend the battery charge?

Try this:
iPod: How to extend battery life
You did not say if the iPod was in airplane mode. That helps a lot. With iOD 5, the battery does drain faster than before.

What's wrong with my ipod touch 4g?

Hello, I am a student who is using MacBook Pro and iPod Touch 4G (32GB)
To jump to the topic, my liquid crystal of my iPod is broken. No, it's better to say, CRASHED.
I bought a new protecting film and case for my iPod, and i sticked and covered it.
Suddenly, the top left corner of my iPod just crashed. I was holding the player with my finger, and it just crashed.
So, what's wrong with my iPod? I'm pretty sure that it was not my fault. All I did was just holding the iPod with my two fingers and trying to fit the case.
Next, is there going to be any problem that will occur when I use this?
I am in China right now, and there are no Apple Store near the place I live. If I want to go, I have to drive there for 3-4 hours. I don't have that much time just fixing iPod. I am going back to Korea in July 2012. So, I'm thinking of just keeping my Pod in this condition until I go back to Korea. But, I'm not sure if there are going to be any problem while I am using this.
I hope the answer will come very quick, thank you.
p.s. I just started learning English, and my English is not that good...:p
p.s. 2 I bought my iPod last year April 2011.

Apple does not repair iPods, but will replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
There are independent iPod repair services that may be able to replace the screen for less. Do a web search for "ipod repair".
Note, though, that there is no liquid in an LCD that can leak. That's a myth.
Regards.

What's wrong with my Ipod touch generation 3

What wrong with my ipod touch generation 3.? It can not boot up and show only apple logo forever after I erases all my personal data to give to my friend?

Try:
- 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 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.

What's wrong with my iPod Touch 4?

Okay, so something's wrong with my iPod. I had other two issues, well, I still have, that led to this problem. My iPod wont turn sideways, even though the Portrait orientation isn't on, and an "Undo Typing" popup keeps appearing on my screen even though I'm not shaking the iPod.
It would be nice if I got help with that, too?
But, the main problem is this: While trying to fix those two problems, I "Reset All Settings" in hopes that it'll get fixed. Unfortunately, I just ended up with another problem. After I re-entered the password to the wifi, I went to Skype. I called my best friend, and after about a minute, the wifi left, causing the call to drop. After a few seconds of the call dropping, I decided to call back, thinking it was a one-time thing. Again, the wifi left and the call dropped. It's not only happening with Skype, either. It's happening with wifi-using apps, FaceTime, and Safari. The wifi leaves and comes back. Is there any way to fix this?

Not looking good. You may have a hardware problem

Help With Faulty iPod Touch 2nd Gen

I recently brought a ipod toch 2nd gen 16gb model and 2-3 days later the screen just died i guess i took it to a apple retail store in manchester trafford centre U.K and they told me that there is no power going to the screen well it was totally dead and they said ring up and arrange a appointment and they can then replace it there and then for me or fix it if it can be , they would have done it but i was a came late 10 minutes before it closes down and the paper work also needed to be done. So does that mean that i wont have to wait and they will replace it for me without me waiting a awfull long time i have 1 year warranty it expires on the 15th October 2009 , so my point is will they replace it there and then.

If you only had it for 2-3 days, demand a new one not a fix for that one. They should replace it on the spot. Make sure and bring your packaging and all accessories that came with your 2g touch so they have no excuse not to give you a new one.

What's wrong with my iPod Touch? (Touches buttons by it's self)

A friend gave me this iPod touch 3g with a minor crack in the screen (nothing major). Everything was fine and dandy until I downloaded two apps (Mangastorm and mangabox). Now, my iPod touches buttons by itself. For example I'd hover my hand over a button and it'll hit the key next to what I intended on pressing and so many other random buttons. Please help me on how to fix this issue?

What is wrong with my iPod Touch?

I have had a 4th generation iPod Touch for about a year now, and just recently, it's been crashing multiple apps quite a bit. I'm not sure what the problem is, but usually it will open for a few seconds, and if it is an app that loads, it will usually crash around that point. This doesn't occur with all apps, per say, but it happens with a lot of them. It also seems to crash a lot when I use Safari, which it did not used to do. Does anyone have any answers? If you need more details, please ask me.

Try to Reset your device:
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off option that shows up first).
If this doesn't help, you might need to Restore it.

Seriously, what is wrong with my ipod touch 5th???

okay, so I bought ipod touch 5th generation (red) in online site and I had it for almost 10 months.
I was in a public library and I needed to use a wifi. So I searched wifi in my ipod and one site popped open that says I need to submit ip to use wifi. I didn't want to, so I just didn't use it. I closed that site and returned to my home to do some searching. And here is my problem. Just one site, ONE, connects not to that site but the site that is the same that popped open in the library. It is so confusing because my home wifi works just fine at other searching site, but just one. I tried everything, I restarted my ipod, even I reset network settings, but still, the same site that says submit ip to use wifi comes up and it drives me crazy. Plz everyone, if you have solution to this problem, help me!!

Go to Settings>Safari and Clear History Cookies and Data
Next would be to go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin all wifi networks

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Very angry with my iPod touch 2nd gen and computers, please help.

Alright, I have access to two computers. One computer has Itunes, alls fine and dandy, expect the computer does not see that my ipod is plugged in at all. The ipod doesn't see that it is plugged in and will not charge. The other computer, after failing to update Itunes, will not allow me to download Itunes. I've uninstalled all of the applications connected with it and it still will not work. A bonus to the fact is that my ipod shows up as a camera. Now I've looked up solutions, tried them out, nothing. I'm about to throw my ipod at my computer.

For the first computer start here:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
For the second computer, try completely removing and reinstalling all the Apple software:
'Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
That link provides a link for XP.
