What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it.
And i don't know what happens if i press restore?
Will it show my back up and back it up or what?
And if that does happen will all my pictures stil be there?
Also i'm not on a apple computer.

To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Either a PC or Mac work the same.
The photos in our iPod's Camera Roll album will be restored as will the last 30 days of photos in our PhotoStream album

IPOD TOUCH 4TH GENERATION CAN'T UPDATE!!!!!!!!

I have been trying for a while to update my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. My iPod is in good condition hasn't been jail broken& hasn't had any recent history of it not working. I have iTunes 10.7, which i belive is the latest version. It comes up as The iPod software update cannot be contacted make sure your network settings are correct and your network settings are active if not try again later. Please help as soon as possible. Want this fixed egently!!!!!

We need more information about your particular network configuration.

My ipod touch 4th generation was disabled due to forgetting the passcode, then i tried undisableing it and now it wont turn on.... help????

my ipod was disabled due to forgetting my password and when i tried undisableing it by holding the power button down for 3 seconds and then combining it with the home button for 10 seconds and then just holding the home button for another 10 seconds, it now will not turn on.... help????

Try:
- 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.
- 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.

If you go to yur account setting what do you see? The app subscription says:

If that does not exist, and since eHarmony was not helpful, contact iTunes

My Ipod touch (4th Generation) can't download apps because it says it requires ios 7.0. What do I do?

I have tried to download multiple apps but a message keeps popping up to say that it requires iOS 7.0. I have an Ipod touch (4th Generation) by the way, and I have gone to the software update to find that it says 'iOS 6.1.6, your software is up to date'. I have no idea what to do. Thanks

I tried that but I realized that the apps weren't installed yet, so I installed the apps but the same message keeps popping up, saying that it need an iOS 7.0 to be able to install. What's really is confusing is that my friend also has and Ipod Touch (4th Generation) and that problem never occurred to her, and we had the same iOS. The apps that I a trying to install are Phonto and Gmail, and on their description boxes it states that they are both compatible with iOS 7.0 and later. It has me really confused and I'm sorry that you have to put up with me. I really appreciate your help! Thanks!

If i already have an ipod touch 4th generation, can i upgrade to an ipod touch 5th generation?

I have an ipod touch 4th generation and i really want to get the 5th generation and I was wondering if i could upgrade instead of having to buy one for $300? And if i do upgrade will the new ipod come with the packaging (headphones,lightning cable) and how much would it cost to upgrade? please help!

Unfortunately, unless you actually work at Apple, you will have to purchase a new iPod at full retail price. Sorry.

My Ipod touch 4th generation won't let me drag the songs from my Itunes to the Ipod itself or how do you sync checkmarked songs?

I'm confused, my ipod touch 4th generation won't let me drag my songs from my itunes library to the ipod? So i tried checkmarking the songs I want and I don't know how to sync those? Also, I try to sync apps to my ipod and it says my computer doesn't have the liscense for it?

You should really read the manual.
If you want to drag and drop, then you must check the manually manage music box.
Read the manual:
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)

When you backup an ipod touch 4th generation, Does it also back up the music

I have a ipod touch 4th generation and i have backed it up onto my brothers laptop about 1 week before i broke the plug for the screen on the motherboard, So now its getting repaired just need to get the parts for it to get it fixed. Since i have backed it up will it also backup my music and photos, im not worried about everything else just i dont want to find all the music all over again

The statement "(it's not actually part of the backup but will automatically be redownloaded from the iTunes store when you restore)." only applies if you restore from an iCloud backup. If yo restore from an iPod backup made by iTunes you have to manually redownload the music

HT4623 I have an iPod touch 4th generation can I get ios 7?

I have an iPod 4th generation can I get ios 7?

No. As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

IPod touch 4th generation, won't update to 5.0.1

iPod touch 4th gen, just over a year old, I've been trying to update the new software for what seems like months now, and every time it downloads the software and then at the last minute-quite literally, tells me that the network connection has timed out. I've checked the diagnostics test and everything is fine apparently, and my internet has always been fine with everything else. Anyone have any ideas? I have also updated the iTunes to ITunes 10.5

1- Download The Firmware you need for your device from Here : http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
2- After you've dowwnloaded it go to itunes and press Shift while holing Shift button click Update (for windows only i dont know bout the Mac) and select the Firmware you downloaded it in step 1
3- And youre done it will verify the software and then it will update.

IPod Touch 4th Generation, can you use without downloading iTunes to your computer

My son got an iPod Touch for Christmas. When charged and turned on, it only shows a picture of a cord and the iTunes logo. We've been trying to download iTunes to my computer (asked question over at iTunes forum as keep receiving 'iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid 32bit application' error and will not download, dial up, Toast, IE9) and can not get it done. I have been told there is no disc that can be sent to me to start iTunes on my computer. We've taken the iPod to a local WiFi spot but the screen will not change. (And could not download at the local WiFi spot iTunes to my computer either.)
Is there anyway to start this iPod Touch without having iTunes downloaded to your computer? This was not mentioned anywhere when I bought the iPod for Christmas and we are very upset that he has been unable to even use his present. No one in my community knows how to fix this, no one has WiFi and the local WiFi spot, I have already sat there for 6 hours trying to get this done and keep getting this error.
We are very disgusted with the whole business and have gone out and bought him something of his choosing and are about ready to nix the whole business with iPods, iPads and anything 'i' related between myself, my family, and my whole community because we feel its wrong to have something that can't be used unless you have faster than dial up service. What's the point of getting anything from Apple if you can't use it do to the area you live in not having reception or satelite service? It still boggles my mind that they can't send me a disc to correct this.
Can someone give me some suggestions on how to get his iPod working since we can't get iTunes downloaded to anyone's computer out where I live?

If you're getting the "iTunesSetup.exe is not a valid 32bit application" error, it likely means that you may have tried to download the 64bit iTunes Setup exe (application). You mentioned you couldn't download because you have dialup, However, even with dialup you should be able to download iTunes. You can go to the following apple site and scroll down and click on the Windows 32 bit version of iTunes. On dialup it will take a while to download, but it can be done. See if this helps.

IPod touch (4th generation) can't access my purchased ringtones

I purchased some ringtones, the same one three times and another one once. They show in my purchases but are no where to be found on my ipod. How can I access my ringtones to assign them to contacts?

Hey sunnysummers,
Check to see if they are on your computer in iTunes. If they are, then all you have to do is sync them to your iPod touch by following the steps in the article below.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB

IPod Touch 4th Generation is not updating to iOS 5.

I haven't been on iTunes for quite a while, so I have decided to plug my iPod 4th Generation into iTunes to update to iOS 5 (currently my iPod is running on software version 4.2.1.) While I tried to do so, I would go on my iPod and see that there is no "Synching" on the screen, and after 4-6 minutes of downloading (and even once, 2 hours) there would be a pop up message claiming that there was an error in updating my iPod because there was no "network connection". I tried to restore, but it didn't work because it had tried to update first before restoring.
The popup basically said this:
"There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod 'Name of iPod'. The network connection timed out. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later."
Error code = -3259
Can someone help me out in order to get my iPod to update already?

Hi,
First of all are you connected to the Internet? Second, updated to the latest version of iTunes. Third, if you are running Windows, disable your antivirus software. Tell me if this helps.
