iPods are the best invention for those who love music since they make it possible for a person’s entire music library right at his or her fingertips. Having an iPod means you can easily access your music. The only problem is, what if you have already become dependent on your iPod but just recently it has started to not work properly? That would definitely ruin one’s day especially if you are accustomed to listening to your music while on commute or while working, driving or doing the things you do on a daily basis.

Here are two of the most common iPod problems encountered by iPod owners. For other iPod problems, you may want to contact an iPod repair shop.
My iPod Got Wet!
It got what? This is possibly the worse thing that could happen to an electronic gadget –mixing electronics and water is definitely not a good idea. You probably tried to turn your iPod on when you dropped it in a puddle or exposed it in water, if you already turned it on, you are screwed. If you haven’t turned it on, don’t. Wait a week or two to let the whole thing dry and open it later on. You would also have to check whether the battery is working after its two-week hiatus.
My iPod’s Battery Won’t Stay On!
Relax. It can be a problem on the board or the battery itself. How do you determine what’s wrong? If your iPod has been gradually underperforming –it is the battery. If it happened in a flash without any signal that it will turn itself off, then it’s the board that needs to be fixed. Batteries can be bought but if it is the board that has a problem, you would have to make sure you have enough money to get it fixed.

Apple has really made the devices easy to take apart if you have the right tools. If you want to take apart your iPhone, you will need a separator tool, a small phillips and a small flathead screwdriver. Also, make sure you keep track of all of the screws you remove.
iPod touch features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 8 GB, 16 GB, or 32 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos on the first-ever Wi-Fi iPod.

iPod Touch 3G
Launched: September 9, 2009
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi.
iPod touch 3G Features:
Improved Performance
The third generation iPod touch — available in 32GB and 64GB models — is up to 50 percent faster than the previous-generation iPod touch. So apps launch faster and web pages load in a fraction of the time.
Voice control: Say and Play
Voice Control knows the music in your iPod touch. Want to hear something specific? All you have to do is ask. For instance, say “Play artist Bob Dylan,” and iPod touch does just that. Ask what song is playing and hear iPod touch answer. Tell it to play your favorite album, artist, or playlist. Speak simple commands such as “shuffle”, “next song”, and “pause.”
Speak into the Mic
The new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch signature white Apple Earphones come equipped with a Remote and Mic. So you can reap the benefits (and the fun) of Voice Control even when your iPod touch is tucked in your pocket or bag. To activate Voice Control using the headphones, just press and hold the center area of the remote.
Performance and Graphics
The new 32GB and 64GB iPod touch models feature improved performance and support for OpenGL ES Version 2.0, which lets developers create games with superior graphics. So games launch noticeably faster, and you experience richer, more lifelike textures and detail.
Music
The improved Genius feature allows you to have iPod touch play more songs like the one you’re listening to. Simply sync your iPod touch to your iTunes and Genius searches your iTunes library for songs that sound great together for your own personal Genius Mixes.

Most of what you do online with a computer can easily be done on iPod touch. Built-in Wi-Fi means you can check your favorite blogs, write an email with a photo attached, or find out how to get to that new restaurant. When you think about it, iPod touch is a computer in your pocket. How handy is that?
Mail
Email on iPod touch looks and works just like email on your computer. And it works with the email accounts you already have.
View Messages and Attachments
iPod touch supports rich HTML email, so images and photos appear alongside text. And you see email attachments in their original formats, not stripped-down versions. Rotate, zoom, and pan in more than a dozen standard file and image formats, including PDF; Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint; and iWork.
Access All Your Accounts
Access your email from popular providers — including MobileMe, Google Gmail, Microsoft Exchange, Yahoo! Mail, and AOL — and most industry-standard IMAP and POP mail systems.
Compose Instantly
iPod touch recognizes email addresses in different applications. If you run across an email address on a web page or a map listing, for example, just tap it and iPod touch opens a new message and addresses it for you.
TypeSmart
With its built-in dictionary,* the intelligent iPod touch keyboard predicts and corrects words as you type, making it fast and easy to write email. And when you rotate iPod touch on its side, the keyboard instantly switches from portrait to landscape for larger keys and more room to type.
Search Your Inbox
No need to scroll through message after message in your inbox looking for the right one. A quick downward flick brings up a search field that lets you find email by sender, recipient, subject, or all headers.
Games for iPod touch are made to take advantage of its built-in technologies such as the accelerometer, Multi-Touch, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth wireless technology. The result is truly immersive game-play — whether you’re playing alone or with others in multiplayer mode. And with an App Store that offers thousands of games ready to download and play, the fun of iPod touch never ends.
Accelerometer
The accelerometer inside iPod touch detects when you rotate iPod touch from portrait to landscape, then automatically changes what you see onscreen. But the beauty of the accelerometer comes into play when you’re actually in play. For instance, in racing games where your entire iPod touch becomes the steering wheel. Or balance games, such as Topple.
Multi-Touch
What sets iPod touch apart from traditional handheld gaming devices is its revolutionary Multi-Touch interface. It means you’re not just playing a game; you’re interacting with the game. Turn your fingers into an expert skateboarder. Test your reflexes as you’re challenged to tap through the beats of a song. You can even transform iPod touch into a musical instrument such as a drum set or a guitar. It’s all thanks to the brilliance of Multi-Touch technology.Apple iPod touch 3G
