Question
My ipod touch is only 5 days old and I'm already having problems with it. When I try to open an app it just opens then automatically closes. Also when I try to play a song it opens but when i press play it does play for half a second then goes back to pause, this happens on several of my songs. I've tried turning it off, syncing, it and nothing works please help me find a solution to my problem.
Olivia,
With any product less than a week old already having problems, the first step is to call tech support. 800-275-2273.
That said, you may just need to restore the iPod Touch.

Apple has a great step-by-step on this.
Good luck!

Experience
I worked in IT for ten years with a specialty in Macintosh technologies and Project Management.
I've worked with the Macintosh Operating system and various machines since my first PowerMac 8500 running Mac OS 7.5.3 in 1996. I support my friends and family in keeping their Macs healthy and upgraded. Now I use a MacBook Pro for work and have a Flat Screen iMac (intel 20" core 2 duo) for home use.
I went to school for multimedia and design, but this knowledge-base is fading, though I primarily geek out with workstation deployment and server management. I'm sort of a "Mac of all trades" :)
Most important: I've also worked on PCs for a number of years with various flavors of Windows(95,98,NT4,2000,2000Server,2K3Server,SBS 2K3Server,Mil,XPHome,XPPro, Vista Business), but I've always used the Mac as my platform of preference.
