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?

  • I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years and the apps have worked fine in the past. Suddenly the apps will not launch, they appear to start then just exit. Is there a reason why it is doing this?

     I have had an iPod Touch 3rd Gen for two years pretty much and the apps have worked fine. Suddenly when I go on an app it appears to launch then just exits. I tried turning the iPod off and on again, but that made all my apps behave like that. Settings and those things work fine still. Should this suddenly happen? I dont want to lose all 204 apps.

    - First try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try downloading/installing a new app
    - Restore from backup
    - Last, resore to factory defaults/new iPod.  this is last result since you will lose app data.

    I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen.  I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me. 

    You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
    If on your iPod now:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

  • 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!

  • I have lost me ipod touch (4th Gen.) but it is dead, how do I get it back?

    I have lost my ipod touch (4th generation) and FindmyIpod is installed. However, my ipod is dead and so I can get it to play a sound... HELP!!!!

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Is it worth trading in my iPod Touch 4th Gen. for an iPod Touch 5th Gen.?

    And will the iPod Touch 4th Gen. get the iOS 7 update as well? I keep getting mixed answers on this question.

    the 4 cannot get iOS7. The 5 can.
    If you take your device into an apple store they will give you a 10% discount for recycling your old device.
    However I sold my 'like new' condition 4 to best buy for $70 and could have gotten over $100 for it on Amazon, so if you're in the US, you have other options that'll get you more than the $30 or so you'll get from an Apple store (10% of a 32 gig iPad would be around $30)
    You can even look into listing it on ebay, craig's list or other places that will buy them. I even have a local used dvd store here that'll buy old devices.
    If you're looking to save a few bucks on your new device, I would recommend the other options than the 10% you get from Apple. Find the right place, and depending on the condition of your device (mine was literally like new, not a single scratch) you can get the equivalent of a 30% discount (Using my $70 towards the purchase of a $299 device).....and if I'd wanted to wait a couple of weeks, it'd have been almost 50% if I'd mailed it into Amazon. (I believe at that point in time they would have paid up to $150 for it)

  • The flash on my iPod touch 5 worked fine until I upgraded to iOS 7. I have made all the updates to 7.0.2, but none have addressed fixing the flash. When is Apple going to issue an update that will include fixing this problem?

    I've seen several discussions on the camera flash for iPhone and iPod Touch 5 wherein the flash doesn't work or is out of sync. Mine was fine until I upgraded to iOS 7. Despite being current with the new updates, there has been nothing to fix the flash.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. iTunes sync hasn't been working.

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation. I have the latest version of iTunes but it keeps getting stuck on this one song. The song is "Homewrecker" by Marina and the Diamonds. After signing up for their mailing list on the official artist website you get a free MP3 download of that song. Well, it comes up on my computer but won't sync to my iPod. It takes forever and acts like it's finished downloading but then iTunes freezes. If I finally get it to finish the sync, it doesn't sync the song to my iPod. There is an exclamation point that pops up by my device sign; when I click on it iTunes says the file "cannot be read." Also, I've noticed apps crashing more frequently. Is this because they're optimized for devices aboves 4th gen. with iOS 7? I can only have iOS 6 on my iPod. I've had it around 3 years now and it usually works just fine. Is anybody else experiencing that message in iTunes or apps crashing frequently? Any and all suggestions will be gladly appreciated!

    This "There is an exclamation point that pops up by my device sign; when I click on it iTunes says the file "cannot be read." " means there is a prob;lem with the song file. Delete and reimport/redownload.
    For apps crashing:
    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.

  • IPhone 5 running iOS 7 suddenly will not connect to the iTunes store app.  Was working fine since the upgrade to iOS 7.  Anyone else having the same problem?

    I upgraded to iOS 7 the other day and everything worked fine.  Today I noticed I can no longer open the iTunes app on my phone.  I used it yesterday to download a few songs and today it gives me a white screen with menu tabs on the bottom that also do not open.  I have tried every suggestion and read all the official apple support items and none of it works.  Anyone else have this problem or have it fixed after you had the same problem?

    I have exactly the same problem. I too have tried everything that's been suggested, but still not working. Don't really what to do next? I have an iPhone 4S.

  • HELP! my ipod touch 4th gen. froze up when i was trying to go to an app.

    My ipod touch froze when I was going into an app, the lock button isn't working. my home button stop working a couple weeks ago so I can't reboot it. And also the screen hasn't turned off it's been like this all day, help please !

    just wait a little bit and it will unfreeze itself

  • Ipod touch 4th gen appears as a device, but will not sync or update to ios 6

    If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!
    itunes on my computer has the up to date software, just my ipod that doesn't.
    i've tried updating it by connecting it to the computer, and just on the ipod itself, neither work.
    and it won't sync when connected

    Figured the problem out.  I had to be hooked up to the internet the first time that I hooked my Ipod touch up so that I could register it through the Itunes store.  Since I got the newest Itunes 10.5, it requires that I register the Apple product first.  Now with the internet unplugged I can plug my Ipod touch into the computer and sync it up like I normally do.
