Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
The 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.
- Restore from backup. See:

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Reset your iPod. Hold the power and the home button for 10 seconds till the iPod restarts. No data will be lost.

  • I have had my Ipod touch 4th gen for 2+ years and was working fine until I upgraded to ios 6.1.3. Now I cannot play games and most of my apps keep crashing.

    My ipod was working just fine for the past 2 years and ever since upgrading to ios 6.1.3, i simply cannot play games or anymore such as Subway surfers, carrot fantasy, 4 pics 1 word, etc. I also noticed that i had 1.2 GB of free space on ios 5.1.1 but then decreased to 900+ MB after "upgrading" to ios 6.1.3. I then deleted one of my space-hungry apps (the sims freeplay) to clear up some space and now have 1.6 GB of free memory. Just a thought, could apple have purposely done this with their software update to actually make an older, phased-out product such as my ipod touch 4th gen work worse than it has in its  previous versions of softwares to force you to scrap it for a newer product?

  • Can I download Apps to my computer and then transfer to an IPOD touch 4th generation?

    I'm thinking about purchasing an IPOD Touch, 8 GB 4th Generation.  I have Internet acces via Time Warner Roadrunner and my Dell Computer has Windows 7 Professional as an operating system.  My questions are:
    (1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
    (2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
    (3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
    (4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
    (5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
    (6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
    Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?

    (1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
    Yes, AS LONG AS you are connected to a working Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet.
    (2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
    Yes.  See here: Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store
    (3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
    Yes. Search the App Store or do some research via Google regarding google calorie tracking apps.
    (4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
    You can only check for email when your iPod is connected to a working Wi-Fi network. It does not use a cellular data connection like an iPhone or 3G/4G iPad can.
    (5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
    Songs prices vary.  Any where from free to a couple of dollars.  You'll have to just look around the Music Store to get a better feel for the pricing model.
    (6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
    Definitely a case of some sort that will protect it from scratches or further damage if dropped.  That's about all I will offer though.
    Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?
    8 GB isn't that much storage space especially after you consider that some of that is taken up by iOS and take into consideration how storage capacity is reported. You'll only have about roughly 6.5 GB of free space to use. So if possible, I would purchase the version with the next highest capacity at 32 GB.

  • I have a 16gb ipod touch 4th generation, 733 songs and 5 apps, yet it says it is over capacity and will not sync. however i know people with 8gb ipods and 1000s of songs? help please!

    just says my ipod is over capacity when it's a 16gb ipod so it obviously isn't, can someone help!

    How many songs depends upon the format of the some. Some are not compressed at al and they take up a lot of storage.
    In the Summary pane for the iPod in iTunes you can compress songs that are synced to the iPod. Check the box that says Convert higher bitrate songs to XX kpps ACC. An XX or 128 is a good compromise of quality and compression.
    Also,
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.

  • I'm sending my iPod touch 4th generation in for service to fix the screen and home button. They're not gonna send me a new iPod are they?

    I'm sending my iPod in to have the screen and home buttong fixed. I've heard that when peoplesend them in, apple send them new ones. But I want to keep this one because my dad engraved my name on it before he died. They won't send me a new one, will they?

    Will the custom laser engraving on my iPod be preserved?
    If your original iPod was personalized by Apple and you arrange service through Apple, you will be asked if you want your replacement iPod to be personalized with the same text. iPod personalization is not available in all countries or through the Express Replacement Service. If your original iPod was custom laser engraved by another company, your replacement iPod will not be personalized.

  • How to get sound and notifications to work on iPod Touch 4th Generation. Version 6.1.2

    I would like to know how I can get the sound and notification on the screen when I'm using Facebook. When I go to settings and scroll down to Facebook, open the notifications under the logo, then go to notifications and open that I get this message that says, "Notification settings, including push notification settings, are locted inside the app. Open your bookmarks and tap Account Settings." Now I tried that and it didn't get me anywhere, unless I didn't go to the right thing, so if someone can help me figure this out asap, that would be very greatly appreciated.

    On your iPod tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account  - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.
    Or you can do it on your computer's iTunes by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.

  • How do i make picture files on my ipod touch 4th generation, without itunes wanting to keep deleting everything in the original photo library.... I was only able to make on and can't remember how, but when I try to sync when touch is hooked up to itunes

    I have had my ipod touch 4th generation for a couple months now.... Nowhere in the manuals or help sections does it tell me how to make individual pucture files(like that already on my computer) put onto my ipod touch.... I managed to make one and I can't remember how I did it but when I have the touch hooked up to itunes and try to pick which picture files from my computer to sync, a box always opens and says that it will delete everything in the original photo library that was in there.....
    Can anyone help me there has to be away, I know someone has done it but they don't live here to show me!!!!
    Please and thanx in advance!!!!!!!

    where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch.....  So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????

  • I had an ipod touch 4th gen and used the apple universal dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got a 5th generation and a lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit the universal dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    I had an ipod touch 4th generation and used the Apple Universal Dock to play music through my stereo.  I just got the 5th generation and the lightning adapter but the adapter does not fit into the dock.  Apple tech support has no solution, does anyone?

    That is the adapter I purchased from Apple which does not fit in the Apple Universal cradle (which apparently is no longer universal).  However, I just created my own solution.  The cradle holds the dock connector at a slight angle so the adapter, which has a straight bottom edge, will not slide down far enough to make a connection.  Since the adapter has a plastic case, I used my Swiss Army knife to whittle it down to fit.  It's a no-tech solution, and free!
