Since downloading the iOS5.1 software to a 4th Gen ipod Touch Facetime doesn't work for all contacts. Any ideas?

When trying to facetime a contact (which worked prior to update) it says that person is 'unavailable for facetime'. Some contacts work and some don't. Facetime is enabled in settings.
Also can message some people but not others - not necessarily the same people that can't be facetimed.
Anyone experienced similar or got any ideas?
Thanks.

No, just some of them. Tried getting them to facetime my daughter which worked, but still couldn't facetime back.

When I touch the "photos" icon on my 4th gen iPod Touch, I get a page entitled "Albums" - it's white, with many lines. At the very top of the screen, almost shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see the thumbnail of my album. But I can't access it.

I need help viewing my photos on my 4th gen iPod Touch. When I choose the "photos" icon, I get a screen called "albums". At the top of the screen, sort of shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see a thumbnail of where my pictures are. What can I do to get back my "old" view of my pictures?
Thanks.

Bring up the Multitask bar by double clicking on the home button, search for the photo app icon, tap on it until it starts to shake, hit the minus icon in the left corner to close the app.
Close the task bar again and start the photo app again, this time it should work.

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?

Hi BCarolinaCopper,

visit a apple store genuis bar contact them via this link or https://www.apple.com/uk/retail/geniusbar/ or through the support on https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action
Good Luck

My 3g internet doesn't work anywhere. I can get internet with wifi, but when I turn that off, the internet doesn't work at all. Any ideas?

I've already tried resetting the phone. Nothing seems to work. Occasionally the internet works fine, but most times, it doesn't work at all.

Contact your carrier to ensure data access with your carrier's cellular network is provisioned properly with your line/number/account.

4th gen iPod home button doesn't work

well here's the story:
since i've had my ipod (the christmas of '12), it has been pretty much fine, seemed uncrackable etc.
so early this week, out of the blue, i go to take my ipod out from bag and it was (on and) cracked. shocked, i didn't know what to think. but to prevent little pieces of glass from falling out from the cracks, i decided to cover it up with tape (the normal clear tape). this seemed to be doing a good job to hold me off until i have enough to replace the screen.
my ipod was working perfectly fine for the day, when suddenly, next thing i know, my home button doesn't work, it's stuck. i have the alternative home button right now ( the whatever-button), but honestly, it bothers me a whole lot and i can't stand it.
does anyone have an idea how i can fix my home button? and if the cracks have anything to do with the now nonworking button? the cracks are all around the button, so i've been lead to believe this might be the case?
so please, help!!!!

Could be that what ever caused the screen to break also resulted in the button problem. You can try:

WHenever I try to load the Gamecenter App on my iPod it just says Loading... and nothing ever happens. I can't log into my Gamecenter account, to play games and it is extremely annoying. Over 90% of the games on my iPod require Gamecenter and I can't play them because when I click cancel on the Gamecenter pop-ups nothing happens. Please help me!

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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

- Restore from backup. See:

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

I downloaded the latest itunes, now my 2nd gen ipod touch hangs up during sync process at backing up. Am I just out of luck? I've tried the uninstall/reinstall several times. Thanks.

I understand it's "obsolete", so do I have any hope of continuing to use it or will I be forced to buy a later model?

Try running 'CMD' as Administrator (CMD will get you to a DOS prompt)
Then type in --> Netsh Winsock Reset
Then reboot your computer and then try syncing... this worked for me last night.

I have a 4th Gen. iPod touch and it won't sync all my music. It syncs most but not all. How do I fix this?

I connect my ipod and it syncs and goes to add the music but it won't finish adding everything. It stops with like 20 songs left and when I click sync so it will add the others it does the four step process thing for connecting and then doesn't do anything.

If it plays in iTunes on the computer then delete from iPod and sync to iPod
Also try deleting and redownloading by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Spilled water on my ipod touch, now doesn't work, lost all my information, and now buttons don't preform the correct function...

So somehow water spilled in my backpack and got onto my ipod. I didn't realize this until i got home and plugged my ipod into the computer to see if it would finally turn on. The computer said it couldn't read my ipod and the only thing I could do was restore it. So I lost everything. Pictures, Paid Apps and Music, and I'm really sad and disappointed about that but now i will press the power button to wake my ipod and it will sometimes turn my sound up on headphones? And it says I have headphones plugged in, but I don't. My ipod is just really messed up can someone help me! Its 2nd Generation 8GB!

Do not turn the iPod on anymore untill it is dry. Dry as explained here:

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

My 4th Gen iPod Touch won't open up the apps I've downloaded. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app and it seems to only be a temporary fix. The reset and reboot didn't work either. Help would be appreciated.

In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?

Try the other suggestions here:

Then try a restore.

Why is ituned downloading the latest software twice and leaving my ipod in recovery mode? what happend to the first download?

Does the iPod work fine now?
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

Last, try restoring on another computer.
You are really not describing your problem well.

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!!
