I just got a 32GB iPod Touch for Christmas, and only in the last few weeks began having issues with it. I hope someone can tell me what the problems might be.

3. The weirdest thing, which makes me think my iPod is possessed, is that I'll have an app open (usually happens with Words With Friends) and the app will suddenly close, the iPod will scroll through my different home panels, and stop at the search page all by itself. I turned off the wifi to see if that would affect it, but it happened right after I did that.

Thoughts?
This one sounds like the home button is damaged. Pressing it closes the application. Pressing it again brings you to your actual home screen. Pressing it a 3rd time brings you to the search screen. Sound familiar?

Even if the battery is full charge, it will only turn on when plugged onto USB AND if I do the reset thing. That sucks. I will have to call Apple tomorrow to tell them about the developments. I thought I had my ipod back, now I'm gonna lose it for 2 weeks.
Sounds like a dead battery. Tip: Lithium batteries should not be completely drained. Ever. You can destroy them like this. The iPod should protect against this, but don't play games with lithium, it is a tech trait of the battery, not the iPod.

Both of you need to get with Apple, they'll replace them if necessary. Backup before sending it in, if possible.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think when I double click the home button it's supposed to wake the iPod from sleep; it's not doing that right now.
You should only have to click Home once to wake from sleep. (and then slide to unlock) Single-click the power button should also wake from sleep, clicking Power again should put it back to sleep. You also have something weird, perhaps.
 
Thanks yeah, I will send it to them today. Hope it's not gonna take a month to get it back. Damn portable devices...

Edit: I don't know if that's the battery though; I let it go full charge and it took about 40 minutes. Now when it shuts down and I replug it and do the DFU trick and it comes back on after 5 minutes, the battery shows it's full... Does that means something to you?

1. I listen to a lot of podcasts, and I have my iTunes set to only sync unplayed podcasts. So now when I listen to a podcast, it will mark it as played or partially played, but when I sync to the macbook again, it sees it as a new podcast. I keep getting podcasts I've already listened to marked as new when I sync my iPod again.

2. When listening to podcasts, my voice control randomly comes on and searches for music. I assume that there is something wrong with my microphone on the headphones, and that it constantly thinks the button is being pressed, but it's not.

3.

If you've tried restoring it to factory settings (one of two options when doing a restore) and then resyncing and that doesn't work, then it is probably a hardware issue and you should call or take it to Apple.

Mooch

Hi, I just received my free ipod touch about a month ago when I purchased a macbook pro and all has been fine until this morning while listening to music and walking.. I entered a wifi area and music stops, screen goes black and I have a white apple logo in the middle. It doesn't allow me to do any functions. Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
