4th gen touch and iTunes Match no longer works

I have a 4th gen touch, and iTunes Match no longer works - I choose it in settings, and it just turns itself off a few seconds later - it worked before, and I had to restore the iPod, and it doesn't work any more.

Hi randy_m,
If you are having issues with your iPod touch turning off iTunes Match unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPod -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPod as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.

I have an ipod touch 4th Gen that everything was working perfectly. After the last update of iOs5, the battery have charge 20 minutes. Even after the correction of the iOS 5.0.1 the battery have the same 20 minutes. What I can do?

Same thing here. Try putting the brightness down all the way (its hard to see at first but you will get used to it) and one more thing is that close all you open apps. So to do that you have to click the home button twice (after you put your passcode in) and you will see some apps in the bottom. Hold it until there is a red - sign. click all of them so they go away. This does not delete your apps it just makes your ipod better.

My ipod touch 4g camera isnt working. Help?

4th Generation iPod: camera stopped working; I touch the icon, the screen goes blank navy blue. What do I do?

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset:
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.
- Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.

Can't crate new playlists in iTunes or add content to 4th gen touch

I have a 2009 MBP 17" 2.93 IC2Duo, running OSX10.9.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.
itunes will let me create a playlist name from the pulldown menu, but not from the '+' down at the bottom of the screen. The setting Icon doesn't work down there either. When I drag a file, single track or album over to add to the playlist, the box is highlighted, but the icon just floats over the top of it and tracks with the cursor until I hit ESC and then click (then it slides back to the catalog list).
this is the same result if I try to drag music onto a 4th gen touch. its been reformatted, home shared, purged and whatever the **** else you can do to it to clean it , but still no dice.
can i get the option to reload iTunes? when i ask for update i get the ole the ver. is current window.
anyone got any thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

For some reason, I can't switch the order of my tracks in iTunes DJ. If I click on a track and try to drag it to a new position, it won't work.
Select all teh tracks in iTunesDJ and press Delete.
It will immediately re-populate.

Got the ipod today but camera isnt working

got the brandnew white iPod touch today but the camera isnt working very well and i try to take a pic and it freezes...

Try rebooting. Hold down the power button until a red button with an arrow appears at the top of the screen then slide the button to the right. After the touch shuts down, press the power button to restart it.
You'd be surpised what rebooting will fix, especially when it's the 1st version of a major OS upgrade. With one version of iOS I would plug my touch in to my computer and iTunes would tell me it was corrupt and needed to be restored. Rebooting the touch would fix the problem.
If you're still having a problem after rebooting you could try restoring it.
If that doesn't fix the problem return it.

4th Gen Touch won't load anything WiFi related, help would be appreciated.

I have a 4th Gen Touch, 64gb.
Got it about three days ago, and have since been connecting to my phone's WiFi.
(I have a HTC Desire HD)
It had been working absolutely fine, no issues, was loading app store, itunes, and safari pages all fine.
Yesterday, it just wouldn't load, as if I had no connection.
Now, it shows that the ipod is connected to my wireless.. it just won't load.
Please help.lol.

If you've already tried the hard reset (holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons until it restarted), power cycling, and resetting network settings, you may want to try restoring your iPod through iTunes back to its original factory settings. You'll want to back everything up to your computer first.
Here is an article that can walk you through the steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
It is important that you do set the iPod up as a new device at the end of the process to prevent copying over any potential problem directly from your back up image. Test it out. If it still won't work talk to the folks at Apple to see if there is anything wrong with the iPod.

My ipod touch is locked, i know the password although when i go to enter it nothing happens it as if the touch screen isnt working, i have held down the power and home button to reset it, it works for a second then stops working again. is there anyway i can completely reset the factory settings

Try the remaining items of:
- 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.

WiFi, Keynote on 4th Gen touch, and Projector

I have a project coming up. In one corner of the room will be my 17" MacBook Pro with Keynote, hard-wired to a projector, and showing a slideshow (loop - no need to manually do anything). I have a VZW WiFi device with good reception/coverage at the site. If I download/purchase Keynote for my 4th gen touch, will I be able to - via WiFi - "control" my MacBook Pro and change slideshows from across the room? And/or edit a show on my touch (just text slides) and get it onto the projector?
Sorry if I am either (a) missing very basic concepts, or (b) not being as clear as I should be.

The Apple server a likely overloaded with the IOS 8.3 update.
You can try using these instructions but select iOS 6.1.6 for the 4G iPod. If yo select any other file you will get errors:
How to Install iOS 8.1.3 Update on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Use the Step 5 update using iTunes instructions but download the iOS 6.1.6 firmware for the 4G iPod. Note that if you try to restore to earlier than 6.1.6 you will only get errors

See Here for
Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
Try this First... You will not lose any Data...
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

If that does not work... try letting the battery fully drain.
Then Charge for an Hour and try the Reset again.
