3 reasons I won't get the new iPod Touch

Yes it is thin and appealing but here is why I returned it:
1- When connected in my car, the new iPod Touch does not charge anymore. It just plays music. My 1st GEN iPod Touch charges and plays music through my factory speakers from the same USB pins.
2- Not a big fan of ALL the silver shiny back its doomed to be scratched even by just cleaning it with a prefect micro-fiber cloth.
3-It felt sluggish, I had to press an app or the home button a couple of times to get it to respond.
I returned it and I am keeping my first GEN 32GB iPod Touch.

1) The new iPhone and Touch use true USB circuitry - the first Touch and iPhone used FireWire/USB pinouts which is why charging no longer works on some older setups.
All devices must be using this USB-only setup to charge.
My Bose SoundDock has the same issue.
2) Um, the first Touch was also shiny - just not curved. Get a case. Mine is still perfect.
3) Not sure why other than maybe a bad app. Some apps once removed made my Touch and 3G behave better.
Bottom line: if you don't like it, don't get/keep it.

  • Do any one know how much it is to get the new ipod touch with the camera if you trade in your old ipod touch?

    Sounds like you need a new battery.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.  Apple will replace the battery for $79.  A third-party place like the folloing may be less expensive.  Google for more places.

    I don't believe that's correct. The 3rd gen Touch cannot run iOS 6.

  • Is it really a good idea to get the new ipod touch?

    I am interested in buying one and i want to know all the pros and cons of the iPod 5th genereation.

    The camera on the 4G is not that good at all. It still camera is only 0.6 MP. At less than optimum light the still photos are very poor.. The movie camera on the 4G is pretty good, It is 720P.
    The new 5G iPod has very good cameras and the back camera includes a flash.
    The new one has a little bigger (taller screen) and is snappier since it has twice the memory, 512 MB and a duel-core processor.
    The 5G has a few more feature like Siri

    For recording video , the 720P HD video camera at the back is amazing quality when their is enough lighting. You would be pretty amazing what a little device such as the iPod Touch can do.

  • SHOULD I GET THE NEW IPOD WITH ViDEO?

    give me some help. I wanted to know the pro and cons.
    It depends. Do you have an earlier version of iPod? If you do, and it still works well, then I would wait. The only reason I would recommend getting a new iPod is if you had an earlier iPod break; you have a low capacity mp3 player; you want to have a color screen. I recently had an unofrtunate event happen with a 6 gig mini iPod. I have done all I can to try and fix it, but to no avail. So, I ended up looking to buy another iPod. I did some research, and found that buying a new iPod was a good choice. I did think about the nano, but only one will hold the amount of songs I have. The one that does is the 8 gig black mini. However, it costs $249. I then noticed that the 30 gig video iPod also costs $249. Since I am was not worried about size, I purchased a 30 gig video iPod. I am glad I did. It is just a little bigger than my mini, but holds 5 times more music, and also videos, and has a color screen. The one thing I liked about the mini was that it had an aluminim housing. If you get a video iPod, be sure to get a good iSkin case for it to help keep it safe. After owning the 30 gig iPod for a while, I have really enjoyed it. I haven't had any issues with it at all.

  • How do I get the new iPod to work with iTunes

    I recently purchased a new iPod--I think it's the "Shuffle," whichever one retails for $150. When I plugged it into my iMac, it said I needed to install iTunes 10 to run it. When I checked for updates, it said that iTunes 9.xyz (whatever came after the 9) was the latest version.
    How do I get this new iPod to work. As you can tell, I am not much of a gadget junkie, and I'm a bit of a technology incompetent, which is why I purchased the Mac to begin with. I have an iMac, have no idea what operating system I am using--whatever came with it when I purchased it in November, 2008.
    TIA!

    Okay, I just looked and I do have 10.411. How do I upgrade to get the new iPod to work, and how much does the new operating system cost?

    It's probably due to the RAM and processor limitations.
