What's wrong with my iPod's Cover Flow??

I have an iPod Touch 3rd Gen, 32Gb, and recently updated to IOS 5.
Since then, the iPod's cover flow feature is extremely slow, doesn't flow smoothly, and crashes after a few (15-20) seconds.
Today I noted something else: some album covers appear pixelated and blurry, even though HD. Those covers looked just fine until now.
As a side note, I have in use 30 of the 32 Gb (that's a lot of music, I know). Could this be related? I never had those problems before IOS 5, though.
What's wrong with my iPod?
Thanks for your help!

so as I see it people with this problem have 3 options
- Make all of your album art a maximum of 500X500 pixels
- Wait for an IOS update that fixes the problem
- Scrap ipods and buy another brand of music player
Using photoshop to do it with, it took me about an hour to resize, change, and resync all of my 1400 songs(86 albums)

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.

If you get an network timed out error, try disabling the security software on your computer.

TS1372 does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reported during the restore mode?

does anybody know what is wrong with the ipod when error 1437 is reportedduring the restore cycle?

Double check the connections on each end to make sure they are nice and snug. If possible, plug the Nano into another existing USB 2.0 port.
Also, with the iPod still connected, try resetting it. To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons (or the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons on the 6G Nano) long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Then try restoring the iPod again.

- Try inserting and removing the headphone plug a dozen or so times.
- Next try a 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 you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, like a bad headphone jack.

HT201559 What is wrong with my ipod?

Can anyone help me identify what is wrong with my iPod? One day I tried to unlock it, and nothing happened. The screen is semi frozen, i can still use the screen home button (my original home button is broken) but i cant unlock it or turn it off. Basically i cant do anything that requires sliding my finger across the screen. I receive notifications still, the time changes, and I get alerted right as i plug the charger in. As im writing this I have it updating the software. Im sorry I dont remember exactly what iOS it was, i know it was 8. something. And this is an iPod 5 gen.

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 another cable
- 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 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.

What's wrong with my iPod Mini?

I've had my iPod Mini for coming up to a year now. But for a while, it's been playing up heaps!
As soon as I charge it, it does say it's full, but as soon as I put a song on, it gives me the "No battery power remains" message and turns off. I can turn it back on sometimes, but it keeps on doing it!
Eventually, I might get 1 hour of play time out of it before it goes completely flat. But I do have it on all the power saving settings and stuff.
What is wrong with it?

hmm, im not too sure but mine will do the same sometimes and mine now will only be like 3/4 power when it says its charged lol. play time is really going down the drain too.

It shows nothing other than white screen, what's wrong with my ipod nano.

my ipod nano shows white screen when it's turning on and could not be turn off, it do not respond to any button i press. there is not sign of battery charging as well when i connected it to the USB port. what's wrong with it?

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

What is wrong with my Ipod charger?

Ok so I have an iPod 5 latest version and the problem is is that my charger won't work. The first time this happend was about 2 weeks ago. The problem was that when i plugged in my Ipod to charge it wouldn't charger or do anything, when i plugged it into my adapter the light on the adapter would turn off, but when i would unplug the charger it would turn back on. So i eventually bought a new charger and it started working fine for about a week and now it is doing the same thing as my other charger it just wouldn't work. Is there something wrong with my iPod that makes the charger do that, the adapter? I just really need hep with this please? Thanks

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable (yes again). Was the replacement from Apple? The cable is also covered by the one-year warranty.
- 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.

Does anyone know what's wrong with my ipod?

Hi, I have a 3rd generation 20Gb ipod that's almost 3 yrs old. Recently the battery life became so bad it would play less than 1 song before dying from full charge, so I bought a new super-life battery from Maplins and replaced the battery. It was a very fiddly job, but their were 2 of us doing it and I don't think we did anything wrong during the process.
Since replacing the battery, my ipod has a great battery life and the first 2 times I used it, it was perfect. Then it started acting very bizarrely. If left unconnected for a few hours, it would restore itself to factory settings, wiping its hard drive. Then on connecting to the computer it would perform a very long-winded check (with an icon appearing on the screen like a CD being examined with a magnifying glass), before I could put the music on again. It did this every time I used it, which was annoying, but I could at least use it in short bursts.
Now however, it will not work at all. Every time I connect it to the computer it does its checking and then either the ipod, the computer, or both will crash. On restarting both, it does the same again. If I start the ipod in disk mode, it appears in itunes and everything, and I can add music, but it just wipes itself again when I put it back to normal ipod mode. I've tried the 5 Rs and all have failed (although my software update didn't work too well, I'm not sure if it actually did it 'coz the software update prog kept crashing).
Basically, can anyone shed any light on what this fault is and how to fix it? Is it a problem with the ipod or something I did to it while changing the battery?
Thanks!

A. Diagnostic mode solution
If you have tried trouble shooting your iPod to no avail after all the steps above, chances are your iPod has a hardware problem. The iPod's built-in Diagnostic Mode is a quick and easy way to determine if you have a "bad" iPod.
You need to restart your iPod before putting it into Diagnostic Mode. Check that your hold switch is off by sliding the switch away from the headphone jack. Toggle it on and off to be safe.
Press and hold the following combination of buttons simultaneously for approximately 10 seconds to reset the iPod.
iPod 1G to 3G: "Menu" and "Play/Pause"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Menu" and "Select"
The Apple logo will appear and you should feel the hard drive spinning up. Press and hold the following sequence of buttons:
iPod 1G to 3G: "REW", "FFW" and "Select"
iPod 4G+ (includes Photo, Nano, Video, and Mini): "Back" and "Select"
You will hear an audible chirp sound (3G models and higher) and the Apple logo should appear backwards. You are now in Diagnostic Mode. Navigate the list of tests using "REW" and "FFW". The scroll wheel will not function while in diagnostic mode. For further details on Diagnostic mode can be found at http://www.methodshop.com/mp3/ipodsupport/diagnosticmode/
Try to do the 5in1, HDD R/W and HDD scan tests. Some successful cases have been reported after the running the few tests under the Diagnostic mode. In case it does not work in your case, and the scan tests reports show some errors then it proves your iPod has a hardware problem and it needs a repairing service.

What's wrong with my iPod shuffle? any ideas?

I received my iPod shuffle the other day, and have installed the software and started moving songs from my computer to the iPod. When the iPod is in my computer, the songs all show, but when I take it out, the iPod will not play... is this a fault with my iPod? or am I doing something wrong?! the battery light goes green when I press the button, so I don't think it's that.
Please help with this problem!!
Thanks!!

Hey guys- I seem to be having much the same problem, only I seem to be unable to fix it.
I have a brand new iPod Shuffle which will happily accept files via iTunes, but when I try to make it play them it is totally unresponsive- almost as though the 'Play/Pause' button isn't working.
I've updated to the latest iPod software (2005.11.17), but still no joy. I've tried updating the software on the iPod itself but I get the following error:
"Firmware update failure.
Disk write error."
I'm going crazy trying to work out what the **** is wrong here- any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Oh- and one more thing while I'm here:
"... go to www.apple.com/support for instructions on how to obtain warranty service."
Am I being very dumb here- where are these mythical instructions?!
