Why is my iPod 5th gen

why is my iPod touch 5th gen speaker sound staticy

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iOS device. 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 iOS device.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have hardware problem.

  • Why is my ipod 5th gen pictures sometimes turn out blank white?

    I am currently using ipod 5th gen and recently, my pictures are just white blank pictures whenever i open them. This only happens sometimes and only to recent pictures.

  • Why doesnt the ipod 5th gen have battery percentage?

    Can someone tell me why the Ipod touch 5th generation doesnt have the battery percentage icon?
    I've always wondered why the 5th gen Ipod touch doesnt have battery percentage. They should have it, its long overdue.

    See:
    [How To] Enable the Battery Percentage with iBackupBot | iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch forums | iFans
    However, % battery is not accurate on the iPod and some users have reported increased battery drain.

  • Why is the ipod 5th gen wifi antenna exposed

    I was wondering why they decided to expose the wifi antenna again on the 5th generation iPod after having the antenna "hidden" on the 4th gen? Does it make the Wifi better, stronger etc.

    The antenna is located on top left and is not exposed (see step 11)

  • Why is the ipod 5th gen microphone on the back of the device?

    i Am just wondering why the microphone is on the back of the ipod 5 when if you use it, you usually have the screen facing you.

    Because it will better receive sound when you take videos with the back camera. The 5G without the back camera had the mic on the front

    I just PAID for Black eyed peas Time of my life and now iTunes says I can't put it on my iPod 5th gen ? What? Why? And how can I get it on my ipod? And if I can't put it on my ipod how do I get my money back? I registered my ipod on iTunes, why was a song I can't put on my ipod even offered to me? What a rip?

    Because you can only synce with one iTunes library and you are switching libries by using the new computer. To nake this yyour syncing computer:
    - Move all the media(apps, music, synced video and photos etc) to the new computer.
    - Connect the iPofd yo the computer and bake a backup fo the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    Note that the backup that iTunes makes doe not include media.
    To move mdia to the new computer see:

  • HT3204 I can't download apps to my ipod 5th gen - ever since I updated to the ios7.4 :(  Please help!

    Hi ~ 
    I recently upgraded to the ios 7.04 and ever since I am unable to download apps to my ipod (5th gen).
    The new apps show up in my itunes library but they will not download onto my ipod.
    I feel as though I have tried everything.
    Please help with whatever tips you may have for me!
    Thank you!

    I had to do a quick check, thanks! Here are a few I think should be working:
    Temple Run
    Sunday Lawn
    Where's my Water
    Dora Dress up
    Dora ABC
    Spy Mouse
    Super Why
    Spongebob Marbles
    Some other apps say iOS 4+ but don't list the iPod Touch 2nd gen in the description, so I'm guessing they just don't work no matter the OS. However, the apps listed above say OS 3+ and just say ipod touch, so I think they should work. I'm running iTunes 10.3 but not the most recent release, and am updating as I type just in case that's the problem. Thanks for any help or advice!

  • IPod 5th Gen Won't Connect to Chargers

    So I've had my iPod 5th gen with iOS 7.1.2 for a little over a year now, and recently I noticed it wouldn't connect to any chargers I had. I went online and bought a brand new lightning cable to find that that would not work either. Then I read about cleaning my charger port to get dust out, and I did that getting large amounts of debris out of there with a toothpick, but it still will not charge properly. The only way I can get my iPod to charge is to bend the cable (even the brand new one) in a certain direction. Can anyone help me?

    DIM/GRAY
    See:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    Also heating sometimes works. See:
    Why can't I select my wifi settings?
    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.

  • IPod 5th Gen keeps turning on and off!! ***

    My iPod 5th Gen just keeps turning on and off, I dunno why but it just does!
    I just updated the iPod about 10 minutes ago, and it completed then right after it comes up with the Silver Apple logo, then lights up, then shuts down, makes the hard drive clicky sound too. And just does that over and over and over again. I hate it.
    I've tried to put it into Disk mode, and Menu+Select and Menu+Play. Nothing works!
    What do I do??

    im having the same problems but once i get my ipod into disk mode i cant seem to restore it..
    You restore it when plugged into your computer and it shows up in iTunes. The restore function is in iTunes. Sometimes you have to force the iPod into disk mode in order to get it to mount and show up in iTunes.

    After restoring to factory settings/new iPod you will then have to restore from backup
    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        

  • Kenwood X991 & iP200 cable with iPod 5th Gen 80GB does NOT work correctly

    I have a conundrum. My wife has the 4th Gen v1.2.1 iPod 30GB which works fine on my Kenwood X991 Head Unit. I recently purchased the "new" 80GB iPod 5th Gen with the latest version "1.0.2" which does NOT work properly. The iTunes software tells me that this 1.0.2 is the latest software.
    When I attach my iPod to my stereo, it states "Reading" for eternity. It DOES play music but only plays Alphabetical Order ONLY. There is no ability to stop, change, fast-forward, reverse, etc....the only thing you can do is click "Source" to change to CD Player or Tuner, etc...
    Does anybody out there know what is going on? I have a request into Kenwood as well. Thanks in advance for all your help!
    -Kingofbytes

    Thanks for the help. It's an iPod Classic then 80GB. The unit plays when plugged in but does not allow searching, or switching songs nor displays as it is supposed to. My wife's 30GB works with no problems. Of note:
    Her 30GB = v1.2.1
    My 80GB = 1.0.2
    Mine is newer by about 6 months. Both are the latest software according to the screen.
    Kenwood has said to "reset the head unit" and "make sure I've got it plugged in properly". I need to try the reset part next but the last statement is funny to me. I can install a head unit, amplifier, re-run all speaker wire, install a Dual 10" subwoofer box, solder and wire tie all connections from a factory unit to a 3rd party Cable manager kit, but I need to "make sure" I know how to plug in an iPod cable.....laughable.
