Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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 the headset
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin wifi networks
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Bring the headset

Screen size on 4th to the 5th generation touch

Is the 4th generation and the 5th generation the same screen size ? looking for screen protector for my 4th gen touch...please help....thanks

The iPod touch 5 has a longer screen. It is 4 inches long compared to 3.5in. they are the same width.

Is the 5th Generation touch Considered 4th Generation?

I am looking to buy a 32 GB white iPod touch. On some major retail stores (such as amazon and target) they have the "White Apple iPod touch 32GB 4th Generation (current version)" -- Is it the 5th Gen, or 4th. Is the 5th just a copy of the 4th with white + costs less?
Put simply - I want a 32 GB white iPod touch 5th Generation, please give me a link to that very product from a major retailer (amazon, target, wallmart, etc.) -- also want questions above answered.

There is no 5th gen iPod Touch. The only thing that changed recently is the introduction of a white model.

My songs on itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation touch ipod

The songs I got off from youtube and converted on to itunes will not upload on to my new 5th generation i-pod? The message says that itunes can't find the songs. I have 387 songs from youtube and I don't want to have to convert them again.

The message means what it says. iTunes can't find the actual music files. You can confirm that by trying to play the songs in iTunes on the computer.

iTunes: Finding lost media and downloads

I bought an iPod touch 5th generation in December,2012. However, my screen was broken yesterday. Why I have to pay the bill for the broken screen?

The Apple warranty does not cover accidental damage, only manufacturing defects. Same as an automobile warranty does not cover an accident you might have.
Take the iPod Touch to an Apple store genius bar for an out-of-warranty replacement, on the 5th generation Touch that will be $149 (US).

Browsing Albums on 5th Gen Touch

I just got a 5th generation touch. I had a 2nd generation touch so I'm familiar with the touch. When I browse through my music, under Artists or Songs I see an alphabetical list and that's great. But when I look under Albums right now it goes to the first album I added to this iPod. I can't figure out how to get the alphabetical list. There's an option to search but why isn't there a list? I really prefer to listen to music by album and would like to be able to just see the titles and not have to search.

What do I need to know about transfering a 4th gen touch to a new 5th gen touch?

My daughter will be getting a new 5th generation touch today. She has a 4th generation touch now. What do I need to know about transfering informaiton from one device to the other?

See:
iOS: Transferring information from your current iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device
Unless you restore from an encrypted backup, y will have to reenter all password on the new device
iTunes and encrypted backups
You can protect your backup with a passcode using the Encrypt Backup option in the Summary tab. Encrypting your backup will back up your Keychain. This way, your email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords that you enter into websites and some apps will be remembered when you transfer to a new device. Learn how to create and restore from a backup.
When your backup is encrypted, you'll need to enter the password when enabling or disabling encryption or when restoring from the backup.

Does the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.

Do the Ipod Touch 5th generation support AVRCP for bluetooth connectivity.
I would like to know if it supports the volume control, call answering function and next/back song panel in a bluetooth headphone. (AVRCP bluetooth)
Does it support headphones with microphone? (for Face Time, TinyChat or recording)
Does it support this device on bluetooth with the Ipod Touch 5th Gen?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for a speedy reply

Though this wasn't updated (not having the Ipod Touch 5) but seeing the Ipod Touch 4 having both AVRCP and A2DP, Ipod Touch 5 should also have those...
Thank you so much... Have a wonderful day

On my ipod touch 5th generation i cannot connect to the internet i did every step in the help section. I reset the wifi, I turned the wifi off and on and still nothing. I even tried to put it in manually but still couldnt connect

The product i am using is a Ipod touch 5th Generation, version 8.1. On friday i had laid my ipod on my jacket which was laying on my mom truck and i went to play basketball. So when i got back it was off, at first i thought it died but the ipod was cold. It wasnt turning on i put it on the charger and it still wouldnt turn on. So i kept it on the charger all night and in the morning (saturday 10/25/14) it turned back on. So i went to the wifi to connect to my home wifi and it said no wifi is found. So i reset the network settings on my ipod and turned off the wifi box for 30 seconds then turned both back on and it still said theres no wifi. I followed every step but it still doesnt show any wifi. I tried to enter it manually but it keep saying "Could not find the network". But when i do it on my brothers phone it works. Can someone please help me get wifi back on my Ipod touch. I did all the steps but still nothing work.

If not this:
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
Also heating sometimes works. See:
Why can't I select my wifi settings?
A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
Then:
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? See other networks? If yes that tends to indicate a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?

IPod touch 5th generation does not recharge

My new iPod touch 5th generation, using iOS 6.0.1, is just over 1 month old and today it will not recharge anymore.
When I plug teh iPod into an outlet to recharge it no longer makes the "connection" sound and the battery icon does not change to the lightening bolt.
When the iPod is OFF and then plugged in, iPod turns on, but makes no sound and the battery icon does not change to the lightening bolt.
Also, NOW, when I plug it into my MacBook, a window appeara that says the USB has been disabled because a device was drawing too much power.
When I plug my iPod 4th generation (also using iOS 6.0.1) into my MacBook, there is no problem with the USB or charging with the same adapter.
The few hours before now . . . when plugged in to recharge . . .
sometimes iPod made the sound as I unplugged it, but it had not charged
sometimes iPod made the sound the moment it was plugged in and the lightening bolt appeared, but only for a second, then lightening bolt disappeared.
sometimes iPod made the sound and showed the lightening bolt and started to recharge, but then made the sound, lightening bolt disappeared, and iPod stopped recharging (without any contact to iPod during the recharge)
sometimes iPod made the sound, showed the lightening bolt, and started to recharge,but then during the charge it would make the sound a few times, but when I checked iPod was still recharging, or had finished the charge to 100% (also without any contact to iPod during the recharge)
Any advice???

Thanks IIIaass,
I got your message just after returning home from an Apple Reseller / authorized Apple service provider (Taiwan has NO Apple stores, and only resellers and authorized Apple service providers which have a wide range of levels of customer service, most well below USA Apple standards).
It did turn out that my "Lightening cable" was defective . . . I also had found many others have this problem through searching online . . . it seems strange that I could not find this information through the Apple website, trouble shooting, or community discussions.
Anyhow, of course, since I was not at an official Apple Store or dealing with an Apple service employee, they were not happy to help me, and they did not want to give me a new "Lightening cord" for my 40-day old iPod with AppleCare. Eventually they decided to replace my cord, but it was not a pleasant experience.
I don't know why there is no Apple store in Taiwan . . . there are Apple resellers everywhere and the producta are very popular here.
Again, thanks for the information and the interesting article about the "Lightening cables".

My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning chargers and the only thing my ipod does it gets really hot but wont turn on :( help!!

My ipod touch 5th generation wont charge or turn on at all,
i upgraded to iOS 6.1.3 and after that my ipod started having trouble charging, at first i though the lightning cable was the problem so i bought 2 more lightning cable chargers and my ipod still would'nt charge, so it died. now the only thing my ipod does is when i try to turn it on it shows the apple logo and then the screen goes off and does it again for a few times and then the screen stays off and my ipod gets really hot but wont turn on for the rest of the day help!!

The hotness indicate a hardware problem.

Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
Thanks
