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.

- If they are in an iPod backup then restore an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad from that backup. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If they are in the iTunes backup then get them from the backup by:
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos
Wondershare Dr.Fone for iOS: iPhone Data Recovery - Wondershare Official
The above programs may also get them from the iPod after you place in recovery mode and restore via iTunes.
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

My new ipod touch 4th gen with ios 6 wont play soun in the headphones, but only through the speaker when my head phones are unplugged
- You do have the volume set all the way up?
- Have you tried another pair of headphones/do the headphone work in other devices?
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It seems yo have a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack.

ITunes always wants to restore my iPod Touch (4th gen, IOS 5.1.1) constantly
I have an iPod Touch 4th gen, IOS 5.1.1
When I plug it into iTunes, I get an eror message saying:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Go to the Summary tap in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
I have restored my iPod like the message says, but once it is done restoring and I have unplugged it from the computer, the next time I plug it in the message comes up again. I have tried reseting both from backup and as a new iPod.
Please Help!Mabe this:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)

I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds -
I know it's a tad late, but I recently updated my iPod touch 4th gen to iOS 6 and now it won't play any of my music. It will play Spotify and YouTube just fine, but it won't play my music. It will just skip to the next a d the next and the next after a second or two without any sound. Please help! Thank you.

i just bought an ipod touch 4th gen it came with iOS 5.1.1 it was updated to iOS 6.0.1 why cant i restore it to the iOS that it came with?i think buying the ipod i should have the freedom to try an iOS and if we are noot pleased we can go back to the previois one, is there any way that can be done? thanks
No update is ever forced on you. It's always the user's option to accept and install the update or not, which you apparently did. As John said, there is no supported way to go back to an earlier version of iOS, and that's been the case since the first iOS-based device came out these several years ago. If you want to comment to Apple on the issue, you can do so via their feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
but I don't expect Apple to change, and almost certainly not in the near future. If you search the web, you'll find instructions that may work for downgrading, but you're on your own should any problems arise. For many people it goes without problems, but for some it's reportedly bricked their devices.

How do I restore the IOS 6 version of GarageBand on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen?
Does anyone else have this problem?
I was trying to clear some memory space on my Ipod Touch 4th Gen 8GB. I uninstalled GarageBand to get rid of the pesky Document & Data files. Then I was going to reinstall it. But when I did, the Itunes App Store downloaded the current IOS7 version. My device was not updated to IOS7, and the lastest app will not install on it.
Is there a way to get the IOS6 version of GarageBand to upload to my Ipod Touch 4th Gen at this point? I feel kind of robbed. I bought the app with the view that it would be good for the life of the device, not be invalidated when the next big IOS upgrade came around. I have had this problem with a few other apps, but this app I use a lot.
Thanks for any help.no I don't because my computer has been reinstalled fully since any of the old backups were done and even so, apps are stored in the itunes folders and not the backup files of the device. I have tried to contact apple/itunes and they don't want to know because I won't upgrade to a newer ipod touch that supports ios 7. I like my ipod touch 4th gen even though the wifi is damaged beyond repair. This is the way things are and big companies like apple expect people to upgrade to keep up with the latest version but the reality is that people don't because of the cost of the new devices.
I'll just have to deal with the fact that I cannot use it to read while on the bus/train any more. Ipod touch 4g is now just a music player/basic camera. -

When ios 7 comes out what update will my ipod touch 4th gen get??
when ios 7 comes out what update will my ipod touch 4th gen get??
It appears that the iPod 4 gen is below the cutoff for iOS 7
See http://ipod.about.com/od/iphonesoftwareterms/f/What-Devices-Are-Ios-7-Compatible .htm where it say support for iOS 7 only goes down to iPod 5 gen.

Is it possible to get data from a smashed/broken iPod touch 4th gen?
Is it possible to get data from a smashed/broken iPod touch 4th gen?
- If when you connect the iPod to your computer it appears in iTunes then you can make a backup and then restore another iPod or other iOS device from that backup.
- Otherwise you will have to go to a data recovery company.
- When I go to the YouTube link I can't get the video to play. -
After updating to iOS 6.1.5 on my iPod Touch 4th Gen, some of my songs are skipping to the next song after 30 seconds even though the iPod appears to be playing the current song. Some of my songs are mp3 files that have been playing fine for years...
Anybody else experiencing this issue?
I'm using the latest version of iTunes and i don't have that problem on my PC. The only difference as far as i can tell is the updated iOS & firmware...
AJYes, other have. If the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer
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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I updated my ipod touch 4th gen to ios 5 and lost all my photos. how can i get it back? i'm using windows 7. help please? thanks!
This was the scenario:
The first time I updated, it was only my music that was lost.
When I got my music back, I lost my apps.
When I got my apps back, my contacts, notes and photos were lost.
Now I got back everything except for my photos.
(Yes, I restored from backup several times since the first update.)
Do you think if I try restoring from back up, my photos that were taken from my ipod will be restored finally?
Thank you.
