Anyone else sorry they bought the iPod Touch 5g?

Did anyone else purchase the iPod Touch 5G about 2 weeks ago before you know about the iPad Mini?  I did...and now I am being told I can't exchange my 2 week old iPod Touch 5g toward and PAY THE DIFFERENCE for the new iPad Mini.  This is garbage....Apple dropped the ball on this product release.  I will not eat the $300 I just paid for my ipod to then go pay another $430 for the iPad mini...sorry, won't happen.  And if this is how you continue on I will not be buying future Apple Products. 

unless your head was stuck in the sand for the last month, the iPad mini has been on the cards for a long time, if that was something you wanted then you would should have just waited.
The iPod and iPad are for different uses.
But as other have said the forum is not the place for your isses, your iPod touch works you just dont like it.

    If accidental damage like a cracked screen from dropping it, that is not covered by the warranty

  • If you bought the iPod touch from somebody and then you locked yourself out of it what should I do because the guy didn't give me his iTunes password?

    If you bought the iPod touch from somebody and then you locked yourself out of it what should I do because the guy didn't give me his iTunes password?

    Sounds like the Activation Lock (iOS 7) is working as designed. It determs theft since y have to know the APple ID's passward to use/restore the iPod foro use. Unless you can get the password you have a nice but thin brick. Likely the iPod was stolen

  • When I try to register with apple the ssn for my account it says invalid ssn and i also tried entering the other number and it says invalid what do i do now or did I get ripped off when i bought the ipod touch..???

  • Anyone else having volume icon on ipod touch 4gen just popping up and not working properly after upgrading to ios 6.1?

    Hi, has anyone experienced issues with there volume control icon randomly popping up after upgrading to ios 6.1 from 6.0 .
    I have a 4th gen ipod touch which  until upgrading to 6.1 from 6.0 was working perfectly.
    Minutes after the upgrade I noticed the volume icon just popping up for no reason. I can turn the volume up now, but not down and it randomly appears on screen without anyone touching it. Weird!  Can someone shed some light on this issue,I have reset and reloaded to factory several times now to no avail.
    thanks!

    I am having this same issue on my iPhone 4. The most recent update to iOS 6.1 didn't fix it either. Has anyone found a fix for this problem? It doesn't happen often, maybe every third day or so but requires power off, power on to bring the sound back. 

  • Has anyone had a problem with the iPod touch 4 not charging?

    I sent my iPod 4 in to get fixed and they are saying its my fault it won't charge. All of a sudden it quit charging and charging port is messed up. All I did was plug in the charger. I have had the iPod less than 2 months.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. I Thin you did this and found problems
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why is the iPod Touch (4th Gen) missing the video setting for TV Out?

    Has anyone else noticed that in the iPod Touch (4th Gen) that there isn't a video setting for TV Out? It's not on the new iPhone either. I wanted to attach an AV Composite cord from my iPod to my TV. It won't work because of the missing video setting. You would think that since this is new technology, it would have that setting. After all, my iPod from 2005 has that feature and works just fine with the $39 AV Compostie cable from Apple. I was hoping to display what I have on my iPod Touch to my TV, but discovered that I couldn't. When I called Apple, they thought at first I had a defective cable. But later told me that i OS 5 left out the video out feature as if by mistake. Could anyone elaborate on this issue? I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

    I am well aware that setting was on the iPod before iOS 5! My question is why is it missing? Because right now, Apple is selling the AV Composite cable claiming it's compatible with the iPod Touch (4th Gen) and it's not. Thank you!

  • I recently bought 2 ipod touches and sometimes the video camera locks up. is this from not enough charge or does anyone else have this problem?

    i recntly bought 2 ipod touches and they both seem to lock up in video mode and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?  is it due to low battery?

    It happens sometimes. Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardare problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar is in order.

  • I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently,found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod.Does anyone have this problem?

    I just bought an ipod touch 4th generation recently, found that it is very difficult to plug and unplug the USB cable from my ipod. Does anyone have this problem?

    Some of the Dock connector cables have very small buttons on the rounded adge of the plug, which need to be pushed in to release the plug from the iPod. Look at the picture below, do you notice the "button" on the white connector edge? There's one on the other edge too and they both need to be pressed in to release the "evil looking spike" sticking out of the grey edge.
    The shorter plugs (that I've seen) do not have the release mechanism, the plug simply pulls out.

  • Anyone else having this problem with the iPod Touch 5g?

    I just got the iPod Touch 5g tonight, and I love it, however I have this one little issue with it. Here's a picture of it. As you can see, the app I'm using isn't taking up the entire screen. Is anyone else having this problem? Is this something that needs to be fixed with an update for the app? Several of my apps do this.

    The app isn't optimized for the larger screen. You just need to wait for them to update the app.

  • I recentley bought a ipod touch set all language to English, billing to English etc. The problem i have is when i open itunes or Apps store on my ipod it is in German, I'm English so don't understand German.. Can anyone help to change language in store

    I recentley bought a ipod touch 5.01,set all language to English.....every thing i view is in English except when i view (open) itunes or apps store it is in German, I live in England, I was born in England, and i speak only English. I want my itunes and apps store to open and display in English. I have messaged the apple help and telephoned the help, both was helpful but no matter what i do in setting (even in reset, which i've done) my ipod will keep reverting back to German in Itunes and Apps store. All other data in my ipod is in English........just the itunes and apps store grrrrrrrrrrrr.
    Please help :-)

    You can only use the German iTunes/App store if you are located in Germany.  The German store is in the German language.

  • I recently bought an iPod Touch 5th Generation to go running with, thinking it would be like my iPhone but it doesn't have GPS. Have I wasted my money or does anyone have a solution? I was wondering whether the Nike sensor would work if I buy it?

    Yes, the Nike show sensor works for the iPod touch.

  • I have the IPOD Touch Generation 3.  I can no longer sync songs from itunes.  They said it is an Apple issue not Itunes since they are downloaded.  How can I syn the new songs??

    I have been given to itunes numerous times by Apple. ITUNES have referred me back to Apple as I may not have the current software on my IPOD TOUCH, model MC086LL.  I have purchased/downloaded songs, but they will not sync to my IPOD.  ITUNES again said this is an issue with the IPOD TOUCH software not them.   Does anyone know how I can get this resolved?? 

    Carolyn Samit, what are yo saying? He say he has a MC086LL at iOS 4,2. That is a 2G iPod. The software update comes with iOS 5 and the 2G can only go to iOS 4.2.1

    31MToweVeWhat happens when you try to sync?
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • Bought my ipod touch 4g from apple's official reseller on 21st November 2012. Purchase slip says warranty ends on 20th November 2013. But apple website says its 19th November 2013. Why? I went out of the store once while buying, was the ipod exchanged?

    Bought my ipod touch 4g from apple's official reseller on 21st November 2012. Purchase slip says warranty ends on 20th November 2013. But apple website says its 19th November 2013 when I put in my ipod's serial number. Why is that? When I bought the ipod, the salesman told me that the latest ios is not installed, so I typed in my apple id and passowrd  and opened the ipod, then they started donwloading the latest ios. During the download, I went out of the store for sometime, then i got back after 10 minutes and had to put my id/password again to begin with the new ios. Was my ipod exchange within this time? Why in a computerized system, If  I have bought an ipod on 21st November 2012, it says the warranty expires on 19th Novembner 2013? Pleasse help, my ipoid even had some scratch on the backside when I first  checked the back side after bringing it home from the store.

    Was my ipod exchange within this time?
    Not unless it was found to be defective, and that would not reset the warranty on the original serial number.
    Why in a computerized system, If  I have bought an ipod on 21st November 2012, it says the warranty expires on 19th Novembner 2013?
    Sometimes it's just wrong. Perhaps the reseller entered in the sales date incorrectly. Call Apple support and discuss the problem with them. They may ask you to fax them a copy of your receipt.
    my ipoid even had some scratch on the backside when I first  checked the back side after bringing it home from the store.
    You'll probably have difficulty convincing them that the scratch wasn't there when you brought it in, but you can go back to the store and talk to them about it.
