IPod touch(4th gen) no longer supports accessories?

http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/extension/
My iPod touch (4th gen) suddenly stopped supporting my Altec Lansing speakers, my iHome and my Onkyo dock.  I have updated to the latest version of iTunes, reset my iPod, wiped and restored my iPod (running iOS 6.1.6), turned my iPod off and on, unplugged and plugged back in all of the accessories...all to no avail.  The iPod will charge on all of the docks, so they recognize it, but the iPod says "This Accessory is Not Supported by iPod touch".  Last week it all worked fine. 

- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Reset the accessories

  • My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via USB

    My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via usb. i knew it didn't work via wifi with the new updates but this is too far. i can't see it in itunes at all anymore. i restarted my ipod already still with no results. the only thing i did is create and delete playlist from the ippd and deleted others from itunes as well. i've done it before but this time i assume it's led to this. any suggestions?

    Disregard. It seems i just needed to install an optional update with windows update. either that or just restart my computer instead of my ipod. silly me.

  • Why won't my iPod touch (4th gen) no longer connect to wifi?

    Yesterday I noticed that my iPod Touch (4th generation) was no longer connected to my home wifi. It can see the network, but it won't connect. There is no error message of any kind, but the spinning wheel thing comes up to the left of the network name and it won't quit. I took my iPod to work today (as I normally do), and it did not join the network there either. Same thing- it saw the network, but would not join. What can I do to fix this problem?

    Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
    Does the iOS device see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iOS device connect before?
    Try the following to rule out a software problem:                 
    - 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.
    - Power off and then back on your router
    .- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

    - Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network       
    - iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Brand new ipod touch (4th gen) no longer plays music. is there a way to fix it by myself?

    I just bought the 4th gen ipod touch on tuesday. I downloaded some music from my brothers itunes account and purchased songs thru the ipod itself as well.  I also have downloaded a few free apps as well.  tuesday and wednesday morning the ipod worked perfectly fine, however last night i was listening to music and playing the free solitaire app i got and it would play a few songs then stop. id restart the song, it would play a few and then stop. finally i stopped playing solitaire thinking you cant play a game and listen to music (im new to ipods and mp3s so i have no idea how to work it).  Now, my ipod works with everything but music. When i click music it is frozen on a black screen whenever i try to do anything in music and no music plays. Is there a quick fix or do i need to take it back to bestbuy where I got it?

  • IPod touch 4th gen no longer plays video on TV

    Can anyone tell me exactly why I can no longer play ANY (personal, purchased, downloaded) videos or pictures from my iPod 4th Generation to my TV with the same cables I've been using for several months to do just that?  I no longer have the "TV output" option in my "Video" menu either.  Is this due to a software "upgrade?"

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen No Longer Connects to WiFi

    Tonight I've been watching videos via the new Youtube app (from the appstore, since the one that comes with iPod is no longer available). I was watching a Youtube video when the battery on my iPod touch ran out. I connected the charger, the iPod turned on, and it suddenly won't connect to my WiFi anymore. I have other devices that connect to the WiFi with no issues. What happens is I go to my WiFi settings, and select my router as the access point, and a rotating loading icon appears next to my access point's name, 'belkin54g'. But the loading icon never goes away, and as a result doesn't connect to WiFi. I recently upgraded to iOS 6 if that helps. This WiFi connection has always worked fine on this iPod touch, so I have no idea as to why it decided to crap out on me.

  • Why does my iPod touch (4th Gen) no longer sync with my computer?

    So...
    One day I had downloaded 2 new songs to my iTunes library and I wanted to put them on my iPod so I connected it and it wouldn't sync...
    Both my iPod and iTunes are fully updated.
    I have tried everything such as:
    Restarting my iPod
    Restarting my Computer
    Using a different wire
    Restoring my device
    Manually selecting which music I want
    Deleting all the music and trying to put it back
    Nothing...
    And my music means a lot to me so I'm very distressed.
    This has been going on for about a week now...
    My iPod won't even back up...
    PLEASE HELP. THANKS.

  • ITunes updated and no longer syncs with iPod Touch 4th gen

    On January 26, 2014, I updated my iTunes software.  After doing so, my iPod Touch 4th gen no longer syncs with or is recognized by iTunes.  Reinstalling iTunes has not worked.  I suspect that this is a problem created by the iTunes update.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

    my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me

    After being connected to a charging source overnight try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - 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.

    can someone tell me which itune software is support for ipod version 6.0 ipod touch (4th gen)?

    You need iTunes 10.7 (the current version at the moment) in order to upgrade your iPod Touch to iO6. 
    You can always do an Over-the-Air (OTA) update as well via Settings -> General -> Software Update if you are already running iOS 5 or later.
