My 4th gen ipod touch has started to quit right for no reason.

My ipod 4th gen has developed a mind of its own. Doesn't matter what I might be doing it will just quit and go to a black screen. Wait a few seconds and it will restart. I have upgraded to ios 6.0 hoping that the problem would go away, no luck.
I tried to do a restore and got a message telling me that it could not be completed. Tired a few more times same message about the server. Any help appreciated.

  • My 4th gen ipod touch has crashed, just displaying a dark blue screen.  It won't turn off or do anything.  Connecting it to the laptop does nothing either.  Is this common and any ideas??

  • My 4th Gen iPod Touch has my location wrong

    My 4th Gen iPod Touch that runs iOS 5, has my location way wrong.
    On the weather app, maps app, other apps, and icloud it shows my location is some house in Columbia, SC.
    The problem is, is I don't live anywhere near Columbia,SC! I live in Jacksonville,FL! So my question is, is why is my iPod doing this, and how can I fix it?

    The iPod get its location from where the Apple database thinks your router is located.  (Was your router ever in Columbia SC?).  In any case, sometimes Apple 's database is incorrect.  There is nothing you can do about it.  Apple should eventually correct it.

  • My 4th gen iPod touch has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch. It has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on. I cannot restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. I have tried pressing and holding the home and/or the power key but that does not work as well. I have tried restarting Apple Mobile Support. I have updated my iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING but it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions?

  • 4th gen ipod touch has white screen

    I have a 4th generation Ipod touch. The screen turned white all of a sudden for no reason. I've tried holding buttons letting it die and plugging it back in but the white screen is still there.It still makes noise. like the other day it was making a noise like someone was calling it. Then if I press the sleep/wake button and home button it takes a picture and I can hear the noise but still have the white screen. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks

    try one of these ways:
    > restore you iDevice with iTunes in Recovery Mode (if you have to... back up your device before restoring)
    > let the battery go completely dead.... then plug it using USB to PC or Mac OS
    > replace the LCD with www.ifixandrepair.com
    > go to the Apple Store (official store not retail) and see what they can do. they can replace your device for refurbished price

  • 4th Gen ipod touch has a white screen

    4th Generation ipod has a white screen.  I have done the hard restart with no success.  Have attached it to the computer for a restore--it goes through the whole process and the white screen stays.  Even with the white screen, you can hear that you slide the bar to start and apps are available, but the white screen won't go away.  It is only 2 days old!!!  HELP!

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

  • HT1430 My 4th Gen iPod touch will not turn, doesnt charge, and i can't reset in computer because it says it is protected by a passcode, but i cant enter pass code because the screen stays black and won't even light up... What do I do

    My 4th gen iPod Touch has had a blank screen for about 3-4 weeks now, it will not turn on, sync, or charge. iTunes recognizes its plugged up, but i cant reset it because it says its passcode protected, but i cant enter passcode due to screen not lighting up or working. How do i fix this?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

    I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
    Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

    Hi paul.lisa,
    Then when you press down on one of those icons (on the actual Home screen), and all the icons start to wiggle, a small black "x" should show up in the upper left-hand corner:

    Are you sure it is a 4G iPod?  Does it have a camera?

  • When synching my 4th gen ipod touch I get error msg saying ipod could not be backed up because session could not be started with the ipod. It only does synch steps 2-5. Do I have to restore it?

    When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?

    You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes.  When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

  • Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.

    Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.  A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly.  Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad. 

    - First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next restore from backup
    - The restore to factory defaults/new iPod

    HELP
    Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version.  When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
    I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating. 
    I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod.  (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
    Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......

    Thank you for you input so far.....
    I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
    Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
    Have I got that correct.  I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!???  or am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Frustrated even more now!!

  • 4th Gen iPod Touch music app is going haywire.

    Recently my 4th Gen iPod Touch (version 6.1.6 recently updated) refused to sync any music. I have had it synced to my computer for more than a year and have been adding new music with the 'Autofill' option. However, last night it refused to sync music. The songs are visible on my iPod but greyed out. This has happened before. Usually it will sync eventually but this time is different. Around the same time my iPod was claiming to be overcapacity. I looked up solutions but none seemed to be particularly helpful. I did delete some music and videos off my iPod to no avail.
    Eventually the problem seemed to fix itself with the overcapacity claim disappearing however the data then began to inflate and adjust itself out of nowhere. It would claim my music was taking up 30gig before saying 4gig. Everything seemed to be going haywire with the data reading. When I checked the music app the artists tab claimed I had no music. I selected a song and discovered that it wouldn't play but rather start shuffling in the playlist. I can't do anything to stop this. I have turned the iPod off and on and soft reset it (I think, I held the Power and Home button for several seconds) but the actions have done nothing. it is incredibly confusing as the iPod is only 2 years old and I would like to avoid buying a new one. I'm not sure how helpful a restore or reset would be but I will try it if there is no other option. I've searched the net for an hour trying to find out if anyone has encountered the same problem. Everything else works fine except for Notes which stopped opening months ago. Incredibly confused and would appreciate any help or advice.

    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/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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.                       

  • White Lock Screen Problem On 4th Gen. iPod Touch.

    I'm having an EXTREMELY fustrating problem with my 4th gen iPod touch (32gb). I have owned my iPod Touch for almost a year and a half now and I haven't had any problems with it until now. I updated to the new iOS 6 and didn't have any problems with it for about two weeks. But after the two week mark, I started having a white screen on my lock screen. I would press the sleep/wake button to make it lock again and pressed it to turn the screen back on and it would go away, (so that's when I thought, "eh, minor glitch, they'll fix it...). But it has been a month now and it has gotten SO much worse it's not even funny... I will have to compromise with pushing the sleep/wake button about 30 times before it will show my lock screen. But after I got it unlocked everything worked absolutley flawless. Now ever since last night I can't get the white screen to go away!!! keep in mind, I have restored it TWICE and still have the same problem. I know I am buying the new iPod Touch but I still think, even though I am out of the yearly warranty, that I should get either an apple 'fixer' to fix it for me for free or an exchange for either the same exact model iPod or the new 5th gen. I never have had such a problem with Apple until now and would expect paying $300 for a brand-new iPod Touch should last me atleast more than a lowsey year and a half...

    Try:
    - 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.
