I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently, found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod. Does anyone have this problem?

Some of the Dock connector cables have very small buttons on the rounded adge of the plug, which need to be pushed in to release the plug from the iPod. Look at the picture below, do you notice the "button" on the white connector edge? There's one on the other edge too and they both need to be pressed in to release the "evil looking spike" sticking out of the grey edge.
The shorter plugs (that I've seen) do not have the release mechanism, the plug simply pulls out.

    If the problem occurs after you restore it to factory defaults/new iPod then it is likely a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
    i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

  • I bought my Ipod touch 4th generation recently and everything was working well. However, it has been 2 weeks since my FaceTime and Imessage aren't working anymore.

    Right after I put on my username and password, it says "veryfing" and then it goes back to the log in page. I don't know what's going on at all. My apple ID is ok, since I can purchase apps and other stuff on Itunes. I've used Imessage and FaceTime before, it happened suddenly. Does anyone ever had this problem? Than you.

  • Cracked iPod Touch 4th generation screen-Help!

    Hello.
    In December, I bought an iPod Touch 4th generation. It is 16 GB. Yesterday, when trying to take a picture, I dropped my iPod and now the screen has many cracks. However, both cameras were not damaged, and the device seems to work fine. Also I have a screen protector on it.
    First of all, I dont know if I should replace it, keep it, or get a new one.
    On replacing: Can the screen actually be replaced? Or can the cracks be helped? And how much would it cost? Would Apple charge me for it? (there is an apple store about 40 mins away) Or should I just take it to one of those repair shops at the mall?
    On keeping it: As I said, the device works fine, but there are many cracks.
    On getting a new one: I do not have AppleCare, but it has been under a year, so would the warranty be violated? Or not, because it was my own mistake? Would Apple replace it? Also, I do not have enough iCloud storage, so if I got a new iDevice, my data would be lost. Wouldnt it?
    Finally, on that last topic, can you buy iCloud storage with an iTunes card? And can I cancel it?
    Please help me. Thank you.

  • 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????
    Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
    I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
    Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot..... 
    thank u

  • TS1363 My Ipod touch 4th Generation, Is stuck in recovery mode.

    Okay, my Ipod touch 4th generation, Is stuck in recovery mode after trying to restore and update it to the latest software. The restore failed and it's now stuck in Recovery mode. I've tried everything, and it just wont work. It won't even recognise in Itunes. Help?

    I don't know if you will see or get this because issue is old but I thought I'd try anyway.  This is what happened to me.  I don't see any responses, if you don't mind me asking, what ever happened with your ipod?  This is my son's and I don't have a store around the corner so I was curious before I make a trip?

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation Unresponsive

    I was using my one week old 4th generation iPod touch and it randomly shut off. I tried pressing/holding the power button and the home button, and even both together, but nothing will happen. I also tried plugging it in to the computer, even though it had an almost completely full battery, and neither the iPod or computer did anything. How can I turn my iPod back on?

    My iPod touch 4th generation's home button has stopped working. i dropped it and the screen crakcjed but still. about 3 month's after tht my home button needed to be pressed really hard and now it compleltly stopped working..
        I have read around a bit and people are saying they have the same problem with their brand new ipod's.
