IPod Touch is slow and frequently can't be synched

Ever since installing v3.0 software on my 2nd Gen iPod Touch (32GB) it has been slower. Additionally, 90% of the time I try to synch it to my Mac I get errors -- either that the iPod isn't recognized and must be restored, or that there is no file to synch it from.
Also, the iPod frequently gets very hot -- if looking at if from the back, the bottom right of the back surface is usually hot -- I'm assuming this is where the CPU is?
I've tried doing backups and restoring from scratch multiple times. Nothing seems to be working. Any ideas or solutions? Thanks!

take it into the apple store they will eather fix it or replace it.

  • I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    He are some apps that are still compatible for iOS 4.2
    > Pandora Radio (supports iOS 3 or better)
    > Army of Darkness: Defense (support iOS 3 or better)
    > Jet Fighters: ONLINE
    > Jet Fighters II: ONLINE
    These are the apps that I know that supports iOS 4.2...... get these before the their next updates.
    Some of these apps may be laggy but still playable.
    BUT IF YOU DO UPGRADE TO BETTER IPOD...... I would get the iTouch 4g OR 5g because of iOS 6 and use of camera and better graphics.

  • HT203175 My iPod touch is off and I can't turn it on because when I try, it has the iTunes logo and a usb pointing to it...and when I connect it to my computer and try to open it to iTunes, it says I have to restore it, but I don't want to lose all my pic

    My iPod touch is off and wont turn on because it has the itunes logo and a usb pointing to it, so when i looked it up online, it says i have to restore it but i don't want to because i don't want to lose all my pictures. What can I do?

    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.
    - 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 cant find iChat anymore on my iPod touch what happened and how can I get it back?

    I just got a new iPod touch and I can't find iChat. I am not sure if it is the generation (4th)  but it should come automatically. I also know somebody who has a 3rd generation iPod. What happened and how can I get it?

    iOS 5 comes with the Messaging app.  You can text with that.  It is not called iChat, it is called Messages

  • Why is my iPod touch getting slower and slower

    Please can anyone tell me why my iTouch is getting slower and slower?
    also why do we have to do so many updates?
    Can I go back to the original software for my ipod touch?
    sorry for so many questions but they are related

    - All I can say in this Apple forum is that downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
    - Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Restoring the iPod also helps

  • ICould is forcing songs from my library onto my iPod touch 5th gen, and they can't be deleted or removed. How do I fix this?

    I share a library with my parents, and some of their songs are apparently stored in the iCloud. These songs are showing up in the library on my device with the cloud image next to them, giving me the option to download them from the cloud, but they are already on my device. They play when I shuffle through my library, which is something they shouldn't do if I haven't downloaded them, right? I've tried going to the setting and shutting off the show all songs and all that does is show the same songs as of they are downloaded onto my iPod (which they are). I just want these songs off of my device. How would I go about accomplishing this?

    Hi Kkuppertz,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!  If the songs reside on your iPhone, you should be able to delete them per the instructions below.   If you see the download icon, you may need to actually download the song before you can actually delete it from your iPhone.   Click on the link below for complete details.  I've highlighted the part that pertains to deleting songs. 
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT5772
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Tap the Music app.
    Tap the Songs category.
    Swipe left over the song you want to delete.
    Tap Delete.
    I hope this information helps ....

  • HT1414 My 4th gen iPod touch is slow and has a lot of lag time with the touch screen and home button. It's just slow. Its a 32 gb thats barly half way full and im very disappointed. what do i do?

    My 4th generation iPod touch is super slow and sometimes i have to click the home button multiple times before anything happens. Its up to date and is a 32 gb but barely half way full. My friends have the same kind as i do, and they have the same problem. Mine is a little over a year old and i'm VERY disappointed in something that i spent over $300 for. What am i supposed to do to make this peice of crap work like it's supposed to? I paid a lot of money for it and i expect it to work but the only thing i've heard so far is "turn it on and off." Yeah... cause that solves everything. Does anyone know how to help me?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Also, sometimes restoring the iPod helps.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th generation and I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 (or to any editions)

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 6.1, and my grandma's iPhone 4 could upgrade, so I thought I'd try it out on my iPod. I go to software update u set my system settings, and it doesn't do anything! It just stays still and says "Checking for Update." I pressed the home button and tried again, but the same error occurred. I do not have a computer, but I do have an Internet connection? Is there any way that I can upgrade my iOS to the latest edition without a computer? I cannot reset my iPod, and I have so much stuff on my iPod it'd take forever. Please help!

    You can connect to any computer and do it but it is a lot of work. When you restore after following the following instructions and iPod will also be updated.

  • My IPod touch got stolen and I can't remember Apple ID/ Apple ID password to be able to track it.

I know my email associated with my Apple ID so I got the password reset link sent to my email but when I click on it, it sends me to a blank page every time. I've tried this on a computer, iPad, and iPhone, and have even called in and gotten tech support yet no luck...any suggestions on what I should do!?!?!? (I'm on my sister's Apple ID and iPhone right now) thanks!!!

    unless you have the find my iphone app enabled and the wifi was enabled when the ipod was stolen there is nothing more you can do i'm sorry that your ipod was stolen while you rwere on vacation but that is all that can be done

  • Why is my ipod touch becoming slow and unresponsive?

    My ipod touch is starting to freeze a lot and just not do anything... why?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    For how to restore:

  • I have an IPod touch model MB528C and cannot get it to update past 4.2.1 operating system. Is that as high as it will update for operating system.

    I have an iPod touch model MB528C and I can't get it to update. It has version 4.2.1 on it now, is this the most recent update it will accept.

    Following Troubleshooting security software will frequently resolve this issue. This issue can be caused by the default packet size being set incorrectly. There may be third-party software installed that modifies the default packet size in Windows by inserting a TcpWindowSize or MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entry into the Registry. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance in adjusting this TcpWindowSize values. Typically the default packet size is modified by 3G cellular network card software, ISP communication software, or Internet speed download optimization software. There are legitimate reasons to change the TCP/IP packet size and not use the Windows default settings (for example, network traffic optimization, home/broadband optimization, enterprise app optimization such as database apps, Exchange, and more). Deleting the "TcpWindowSize" or "GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize" entries in Windows Registry could affect the system's performance with other apps or on their network connections. Deleting the customized TCP/IP settings may require the reinstallation of any third-party applications that had modified the TCP/IP settings from the Windows default settings.
    There are two ways to resolve this:
    You can follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) , or follow the steps below to manually find and remove TcpWindowSize and MaxGlobalTcpWindowSize entries from the Registry.
    For Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7: Go to the C:\Windows folder and launch regedit.
    Go to Edit > Find.
    Search for "TcpWindowSize" entries. There are typically multiple entries of TcpWindowSize/GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize spread throughout the entire Registry. If "TcpWindowSize" exists, one or more third-party applications have changed the user's default Windows settings for TCP/IP.
    Go to File and select Export. This step will export a copy of the Registry that can be used as a backup of the original settings.
    Delete the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
    Search for the next "TcpWindowSize" entry and delete each one until the Registry no longer has any "TcpWindowSize" entries.
    Close Regedit, restart the PC, and test.
    If you are uncertain as to why these registry entries exist and the PC is a business computer, contact your network administrator and determine what values TCP/IP can be set in their Windows Registry setting so that the PC can update or restore an iOS device rather than deleting the "TcpWindowSize" entry.
    If editing the registry does not resolve the issue, restoring on a different computer that did not install the communication software is the step most likely to resolve this issue.
    I would first try restoring on another computer.

  • Can I return my Ipod touch 4th generation and get an Ipad, if my Ipod is still under warranty?

    The warranty doesn't cover that. Sell it and put the money towards a new device.
