depends on the context -- it can also mean to crank it or give it all you've got -- in baseball it is a reference to a big hit or a homerun -- in music it can mean to play at full blast -- there might be a bit of a difference in use depending on which side of the ocean you're on (I'm on the North American side) -- although we do sometime say to someone "you don't know jack (nothing), it is more commonly associated with lifting as using a car jack to lift a car and from there comes the broader usage with lifting or turning things up

To stop, to give up. See also 'jack it in' which means to stop whatever you're doing.

I always thought "jack it" was a term used to describe when men pleasure themselves.

It means don't do it or don't bother or give it up.
