You have the volume limit adjusted so that it won't blow your ear drums out.  Go into your settings and turn the volume limiter off.

sorry you can't it only works with itunes

This sounds totally stupid but put it into the freezer in a plastic bag for 24 hours. When I was told this you can imagine my response .. just like yours. It worked. Be sure your ihome is not too close to a heat source ... cool is good. OK you can call me insane ... want to be safe .. put in the fridge for 24 hours. Hope it works ..

You need to reset it, just hold down the middle button and the "menu" button for about 7-8 seconds, or until the apple logo appears.
Hope this helps

Hold the Menu+Center Button The apple symbol will show up Now You iPod will Work. I had the same problem

Use the Five Rs to restore the iPod. You will lose the data that is currently on it if you restore but you can always re-sync the data to the iPod. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/

I found a sofrware backdoor that can solve a lot of problems. Send 20 Euro for solution

contact apple directly to see if they can solve the issue since you still have the warranty

It sounds like it might be a battery issue. When it is hooked up the computer the USB is providing power to run the ipod and charge the battery. Check to see if the battery is good by testing it with a fluke meter if it is removable. And replace if bad. Also make sure you always release the device from the computer using the "safely remove hardware" function before disconnecting the ipod. This could also cause a problem.

Hope this helps!

If an external speaker doesn't run on the same frequency or level or electric current, the Ipod can't put out enough energy to push it through the speaker. It's like trying to mate a Chihuahua with a Labrador, it just doesn't work.

Did you install the iTunes and restart your computer? Try that.

The cable inside may have snapped off....if you're comfortable opening it up for repairs,post back for step by step guide or you can take it to a nearby apple store for repairs.

If it is still under warrenty (1 year after purchase) you can take to an Apple Retail Store and get it replaced for free.

Plug it into a auto charger, mine did the same thing when I plugged it into the car it restated as normal.

mine used to do that.
I restored my ipod and i uninstalled i-tunes then downloaded it again, it should then work! :)

Try the button combination : menu button and center button together for 5 sec. That will hard reset your iPod (make sure it's not on hold when you do that.) If that doesn't work, Take it to the Apple store first. Only if you're not under warranty, you should try a firmware restore using iTunes. If that doesn't help it's a hardware issue with your logic board. The logic board can be replaced by a tech savy user and the part is available on common auction websites. There are ipod nano 4G Repair guides that show you how to do the replacement step by step.

Sounds like you need a new LCD. Simple fix for the experts.

Try either http://www.ipodrefresh.com or http://www.ipodrecharge.com. They specialize in ipod touch repairs.

try resetting it by pressing play and the middle button make sure its not locked when you do that
