    Try:

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    - Unsync/delete all music and resync

    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music

    - 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.


    NOTE: that if you restore the iPod you will have to enter the ID and password last used in settings>iCloud in order to activate the device for use. Unless you are the original purchaser and have proof of purchase Apple will not help you activate the device.

    - Restore from backup. See:                                               

    Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Not warranty or proof of purchase is required.
