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.

My Ipod touch 4th gen shows up under devices but will not let me sync to it.

I am using windows XP with the newest updates. I have itunes 10.5 currently installed on the computer. My ipod does not have the newest ios software on it. When I plug my Ipod up, it opens itunes and loads it under devices correctly. Since i don't currently have an internet connection the itunes store tries to open and I close the box out, which it gives me an error that "the itnunes store could not be connected, check cable connections and try again". A white screen is visibile with the word "Ipod" in the middle on the right side. My Ipod at this point is still visible under devices, but can not sync to it; under file the sync to ipod command is grayed out, unable to be clicked on. The ipod connect and synced perfect with itunes 9 before upgrade to 10.5. Any suggestions to fix this problem would be great.

IPod touch 4th gen stuck in connect/disconnect loop, will not charge on desktop PC, but is recognized fine by older laptop?

I have an iPod 4th gen that up until the week before was connecting and charging fine on my desktop computer (running Windows 7(64-bit)). Now, when connected to the USB ports on my desktop, it goes into this rapid and unending connect/disconnect loop, never staying connected long enough to even be recognized by the computer. There is an error message that also says that charging is not supported by the computer, when before, things were fine. Despite all the problems on the desktop, the iPod is recognized fine by my 5 year old laptop, which is running a simplified version Windows XP. Halp. I've tried everything on the iPod support pages regarding this issue, and would really like to avoid calling Apple about this. Any suggestions?

Try putting it is DFU mode:

Same thing here. Try putting the brightness down all the way (its hard to see at first but you will get used to it) and one more thing is that close all you open apps. So to do that you have to click the home button twice (after you put your passcode in) and you will see some apps in the bottom. Hold it until there is a red - sign. click all of them so they go away. This does not delete your apps it just makes your ipod better.

I lost my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Find my iPhone application was not installed. Is there any way if I can find it or else I can lock the device so nobody uses it?

No app is required.
- 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.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

My 2nd gen works fine with WPA2 and AES encryption.
You may need to go back and start over. Reset the router back to factory defaults, log on as the admin, set up security, DHCP, and make sure the IP address pool has enough IP addresses to lease to ALL of the computers/devices that will connect to that the router.

I just bought a new Retina Display macbook pro, and I plugged in my iPod touch (4th gen) into the new computer, but it will not show up, even after I typed in the passcode. How do I get my iTouch to sync with my new computer without restoring my itouch?

I have a new iPod Classic 160Gb. i have an iTunes Account, it recognizes my device but will not sync my library of music to my new iPod. What do I need to do?

I have a new ipod Classic 160GB. I already have an Itunes account. The Itunes account recognizes my device but will not sync my library to this new device.
What do I need to do?

Hi Amy2250,
Have you tried to sync music to the iPod via the iPod subdirectory of iTunes? To do this, plug your iPod into your computer, go into iTunes, click on the iPod tab, click on 'Music' in the iPod subdirectory and select whether you want to sync your whole iTunes library or just selected songs and press sync.
Alternatively, have you tried manually transferring music onto the iPod using the 'drag and drop' method? To do that, go into iTunes with your iPod connected, click on the iPod tab, in the iTunes iPod Classic subdirectory click on the 'Summary' tab, then tick the box saying 'Manually manage music' and click save. Then, in the same subdirectory click on the 'On this iPod' tab and click on Music. Then, select the songs you want to transfer either in Finder or Windows Explorer, select the songs you want to copy to the iPod and drag them to the blank list in the 'On this iPod' area of iTunes you just opened.
Good luck,
stefanrandomly

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?

- Double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod.
- 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.
- iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo (iOS 5.1.1)

My iPod touch 4th gen crashes and restarts every time I try to edit a photo. Why is this happening and is there any way to fix it? It's not jailbroken, so I guess it's not malware

My ipod touch (4th gen) won't display the photos that i synced?

i've tried deleting the ipod photo cache folder, restarted my ipod, and no..no errors pop up while syncing.
it just finishes syncing the selected photos that i want to sync, and when i check my ipod, it's not there.
yes the photos are compatible.
i don't think it has to do with the software version because i did not have this problem a few days ago.

- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
