Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

What ios system can the IPod touch 4th gen. update to

What ios system can the iPod touch 4th gen. update to?

I wouldn't buy a second-gen iPod touch at any price now, and particularly not for only $50 less than a fourth-gen model. There are far too many apps that require a version of iOS newer than what a second-gen iPod can run. Up to you, though.
Regards.

How do I get my iPod touch 4th gen to a ios 6.1.4

Ipod touch 4th gen update IOS5

how can I update an ipod touch 4th gen 32g with IOS5

Generally, this means that it can't be updated further; it needs to be at least a third generation iPod touch to run iOS 5. If you don't know what model you have, append the last three or four characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the modified URL.

New iPod Touch 4th gen. update out 6.1.5 tonight!

   If you didn't get notified by your iPod Touch 4th generation there is a new update that just came out tonight Saturday November 16th.
   Your iPod 4th generation should let you know but just in case it didn't I'm letting you know.
   Update (6.1.5) is now out as of this date.
   Thank You!

   It's an update that addresses connection issues with Facetime. Wouldn't it be nice if it was a iOS7 limited version update like people were wishing?
There is nothing you can do! . . . If you wan't iOS7, you must purchase iPod Touch (5th generation).
Your iPod Touch (4th generation should let you know about the (update 6.1.5) but if it didn't well here it is.
At least Apple is still concerned about supporting there previous customers and is well appreciated!
Thank You!

Try:
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

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)

Ipod touch 4th gen dead pixels

Guys, my ipod touch 4th gen has a dead pixel lines in the upper portion of my screen and sad thing is its no longer within warranty? does reinstall will fix this or lcd replacement is the way to go?

You can try a restore to factory settings/new iPod. You have nothing to lose.
Replacing the screen may work but it could be a problem with the logic board

Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
It will always restore to the latest available software.

IPod Touch 4th Gen failed iOS 6.1 update, stuck in recovery mode

Last night I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th gen to iOS 6.1. The update downloaded from iTunes perfectly fine, but as it was installing I got an error message. Now my iPod is stuck in recovery mode and will not start the recovery process. Both the "Devices and Printers" and "Device Manager" in Windows 7 recognize the iPod as being connected and in recovery mode, but iTunes is not showing the prompt that it detects the iPod in recovery mode. I have tried putting the device into DFU mode, uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver, all with no success. I won't be home for about 6 hours, so I can't try connecting it to another computer yet. Can anyone please tell me how to fix it?

Yeah, just happened to me too. Third time Apple has ****-canned my iPod by updating the iOS. So tired of having to do this over and over everytime Apple releases an update.
Thanks a ton, Apple! I was just thinking what I could be doing this eveing after a long day at work, now I've got my answer! You guys are just WONDERFUL!

After updating iOS on my iPod touch 4th gen my Philips speaker dock DC290B/37 no longer charges the iPod. It will play music but not charge, is there anyway to find out if Apple is working on an update/fix?

Try:
- Reset the dock
- 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.
- 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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

IPod Touch 4th gen stuck in reboot loop after attempting to update to iOS 6.1.5

Hi.
I have my iPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS 6.1.3)....I plugged it into my computer, it said there was a software update available. I click ok, it goes through all of it's stuff, gets up to Verifying update with Apple, and then I get an error message.
"The iPod 'iPod Touch 4' could not be restored. It is not eligible for the requested build."
I know this has something to do with Apple not signing the package, but I got iOS 7.0.4 on my iPhone today and it worked fine.
Thanks for all of your guys' help,
