  • My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel, I tried the method where you hold the home and lock button lots of times and it hasn't worked! What do I do?

    My question won't all fit in but it says 'My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel. What do I do?'
    I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!

    - 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.

  • I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6

    I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6... I've updated my iTunes to 10.7 checked my security software tried restoring my iPod and then downloading on my device and my laptop. When I connect it to the computer I try downloading & updating and only downloading.. Still nothing I get error messages, can't connect to update server messages.. I'm just thinking about giving up... What the heck do i do !!??? Will the local apple store do it for me and what's so going to be on the 5th gen I may just wait and get that one. Please help.

    Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
    Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
    Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!

  • My FaceTime won't work on my iPod 4th Generation anymore. I don't understand why. A few weeks ago, it worked perfectly fine. Then I had updated it, and it does not let me verify my email.

    A few weeks ago, my iPod 4th Generation's FaceTime was working fine. Until, unfortunately, a day or two after I had updated my iPod to the new iOS 5 software, it had stopped working. I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence, but it is bugging me. I've tried signing in, and it works, but once I get to the page where I must verify or put in an email address so you may FaceTime from, I am sent back to the sign in page. I have tried numerous times to sign in different accountsI have or just use different contact email. But, if I put in ([email protected]) for a sign in, and ([email protected]) for an address it may be called from, I always end up with the popup coming up and saying "Cannot verify because it is already in use. Although, no one knows any of my emails or passwords. I only have one email registered on my brothers iPad, but i try signing out of his and disabling it, so i may use it. But it doesn't work, in the past it did, I could even use an email for 3 iPods and iPads. but not anymore. i don't know what to do. Can i please get help?

  • HT1339 I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and need to restore to factory settings as want to sell it; however it will not reset and when plugged into my MAC it says firmware corrupt? CAn anyone shed light on what i can do to overcome this issue?

    I have an IPOD Nano 4th Generation 8GB and am unable to restore it back to factory settings even when it is connected to my MAC.  I have tried the menu/select hold but is not doing anything.  When connected to the MAC and select restore in itunes it comes up with 'Firmware Corrupt'.  It also states the IPOD is up to date.  I have the latest operating system on my MAC and wonder if this may be part of the issue?
    Can anyone shed light as to what i can do to reset it back to factory settings as would like to sell it and ensure it is ready for the new owner.
    Thanks

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation is not updating to iOS 5.

    I haven't been on iTunes for quite a while, so I have decided to plug my iPod 4th Generation into iTunes to update to iOS 5 (currently my iPod is running on software version 4.2.1.) While I tried to do so, I would go on my iPod and see that there is no "Synching" on the screen, and after 4-6 minutes of downloading (and even once, 2 hours) there would be a pop up message claiming that there was an error in updating my iPod because there was no "network connection". I tried to restore, but it didn't work because it had tried to update first before restoring.
    The popup basically said this:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod 'Name of iPod'. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
    Error code = -3259
    Can someone help me out in order to get my iPod to update already?

    Hi,
    First of all are you connected to the Internet? Second, updated to the latest version of iTunes. Third, if you are running Windows, disable your antivirus software. Tell me if this helps.
