Why does my volume control on my iPod touch only work when i have Earbuds or Headphones or a speaker connected to the headphone jack, and not also when there is nothing in the jack?

I can't adjust the volume of the iPod Touch when it has nothing plugged into the headphones jack, but i can adjust it when i have earbuds or headphones or a speaker ;plugged into the iPod Touch

Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Insert/remove the the headphone 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 since you likely have a hardware problem. Could be a bad headphone jack.

I want to sync my iPod Touch to my new computer. I've added a lot of music to my computer iTunes and don't know if I will lose the music on my computer or my iPod when I sync? I would like to keep it all from both.

iPod touch is Wi-Fi only, yes. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by games from home Mac, but you can purchase game apps in iTunes and sync them to your iPod.

It just happen to me lately, so as I open the music while my earhones are plugged,I saw that there is no volume control on my screen but the song is still playing but I can't hear anything so I remove my earphones then I plugged it again then the volume controls show.

My OS is up to date so my itunes are. what should I do? Does somebody experiencing the same? Somebody help. Thanks

The volume control on my iPod touch 4g is acting strange

Ok, so today the screen on my iPod turned white all of a sudden, then my dad messes with it a bit and everything seemed to be working, wrong! The volume started acting bipolar, going up and down and up and down, and then it just wud go up and no matter how much I tried to make the volume go down it wudnt. It's like someone is constantly holding down the up volume bottom, because the volume thing won't go off the screen, like hold ur volume bottom for 2 hours, that's what it's been like. How do I fix it???? Please help!
Oh, and I just got it yesterday as a bday gift, so it's brand new.

Try restarting it by holding down the on/off and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo. If that don't work then you should take it back to Apple for a replacement.

My ipod touch 2nd gen keeps saying that my security code on my credit card information is wrong. And it also says that i owe $0.99 on a game that i bought when i had money on the card. Now it wont let me download anything.

I had money on the card at the time when i bought the game and still have more than enough money on the card..... So why does it keep saying to go to payment history to fix the problem? Can anyone help?

?

I have an Ipod touch 2 gn ( ios 4.2.1) ,about four months ago I installed facebook, instagram, pdf reader and a lot of apps. I reseted the ipod than now I can't install that apps cuz it says that requires ios 4.3 . What do I do?

The best apps I had, now I can not have?

The backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.
As others have said
Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

Ipod touch only works on externial battery not charger or internial battery

the other day I was using my ipod touch 3 GEN and it went dead so I tried to run it off the charger cable to finish what I was doing.
It would not work on the charger cable, So I tried a second charger cable and no dice. I have a IPAD that used the same charger cable and the charger cable worked fine on the IPAD .
I then tried to use an external battery I had for the. iIPOD and it came up with the apple symbol and then booted. The IPOD seems to work fine on the external battery.
Is my battery in the IPOD bad? or what?

Initially as battery got lower the unit would not even operate so replaced the battery my self. I found that the IPOD Touch (after the battery was replaced) ran as long as the battery charger was connected. Funny thing when the battery charger was connected it showed full charge but after opening a few apps it showed 15% charge with the battery charger attached. I removed the battery charger the IPOD touch died. Then reattached it and the IPOD touch rebooted and showed full charge. After a few minutes the battery charge shows 15%.
I opened the Touch up again and measured the battery voltage and externally the current that the touch drew and it was charging and after a while the Battery showed full charge. when the screen showed 100% the voltage was max and when the screen showed 15% the voltage was the about the same on the battery. I would expect the voltage to be lower if the Touch was at 15%.
The IPOD Touch 3 Gen works fine as long as I have it plugged in When I had it open it up again I measured the battery voltage with the charger attached and it not attached after a full charge and I don't remember there being much difference in the voltage in both cases.
At least after replacing the battery it works when plugged in.
I use the Touch on my breakfast bar plugged in all the time. I am assuming there is a defect somewhere in the voltage regulator ckt inside the IPOD Touch , very strange.
Got lots of good years out of it, but am saving now for a new 64 GIG unit.

I tried to listen to music on my IPhone 4S and it was very fuzzy and didn't sound right. I made sure that it wasn't the headphones and everything. I went to the apple store and they said that there was nothing they could do. HELP!!!

HELP

I went to two different apple stores and both people looked at it and they said that my phone definitely had major hardware issues and that the dock was broken and that the headphone jack was broken but they said that I was out of warranty so I would have to pay around $200 for a replacement or an upgrade. But I really don't want to go that because I am waiting for the newest iPhone to come out because my contract is up in November. The guy in the 1st store was surprisingly rude to me.
