  • What ios system can the IPod touch 4th gen. update to

    What ios system can the iPod touch 4th gen. update to?

    I wouldn't buy a second-gen iPod touch at any price now, and particularly not for only $50 less than a fourth-gen model. There are far too many apps that require a version of iOS newer than what a second-gen iPod can run. Up to you, though.
    Regards.

  • ITunes always wants to restore my iPod Touch (4th gen, IOS 5.1.1) constantly

    I have an iPod Touch 4th gen, IOS 5.1.1
    When I plug it into iTunes, I get an eror message saying:
    "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Go to the Summary tap in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
    I have restored my iPod like the message says, but once it is done restoring and I have unplugged it from the computer, the next time I plug it in the message comes up again. I have tried reseting both from backup and as a new iPod.
    Please Help!

    Mabe this:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

  • My Ipod touch 4th gen is not updating.

    My Ipod touch 4th gen is not updating.  I've tried the standard upgrade procedures.  It is also not recognized by my pc (when connected to a pc it does not even show a device is connected)  The last update was 4.3.3 any suggestions?

    Try:
    - Reset the dock
    - 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 all settings                 
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
    Otherwise you are out of luck. Apple is not making any more update for the 4G.
    Also check with Phillips. Maybe they have an firmware update available

  • Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

    I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
      You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen - iOS 5 problems?

    I'm sure I'm the ONLY person in the WORLD having issues, but ever since I updated my 4th gen iPod touch to iOS 5 I have regular sync problems, it is slow to respond when coming out of the screen locked position and it for some reason when it did decide to sync it sync'ed stuff in my iTunes that was not checked.  I know that I'm an iIdiot, but is there ANYONE else on Earth experiencing similar difficulties?  Is it possible to roll back the OS to the previous release?
    I appreciate any and all comments.
    Regards,
    Frustrated in Fairless Hills

    Not like you quite but I can empathize.
    When I loaded iOS 5 onto my ipod Touch (5th gen I think) i suddenly lost space to "others" about 5Gb which is significant on a 32Gb ipod.
    I had to do a complete reset through itunes and now I have loaded back about 150 songs of 5000 in about 2 hours.... I am flying to Australia tomorrow morning I onder what I will have to listen to !!!

  • "Facetime failed" messages on my iPod Touch (4th gen, iOS 5)

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch running on iOS 5 and I can't connect with anyone on FaceTime. I've tried calling friends on their iPhones (using their phone number) and friends on their iPod Touches (using their email address) and each time, I get a "facetime falied" message. I've tried turning FaceTime off/on again, but it still won't work. I've also reset my iPod touch and it still won't work. I also get the "not delivered" message when I try to contact my friends through iMessage. My wifi network is very strong and I can connect on Skype, yahoo messenger and many other apps that need an internet connection without any problems. Any suggestions?

    UPDATE: I changed the DNS server settings to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8) and now I can send/receive messages from other people's iMessage accounts, but where I was able to send/receive messages from myself, I'm no longer able to. It's now working at 95%, but I'd like to have it at 100%. Any suggestions or advice?

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

    Hello,
    I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
    1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1. 
    Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1? 
    If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
    Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
    2)  I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync.  I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch.  The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch.  But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
    I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro.  But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID.  I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF.  How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
    3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
    Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out.  I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
    Thanks in advance for the help!

    - Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
    - Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
    - I have no idea for the Safari question

  • IPod Touch (4th Gen) Won't Update Past iOS 6.1.6

    I have an iPod Touch (4th Generation). I'm trying to connect to Family Share but it needs to be updated to iOS 8. My iPod is saying it's up-to-date at iOS 6.1.6.
    I have tried updating directly from the iPod (Settings > General > Software Updates) and I've also connected it to my Mac OS X Yosemite / iTunes 12.01.126 with no luck. Nothing is recognizing that this device needs to be updated.
    How can I update this iPod to iOS 8?

    iOS 7 or iOS 8 isn't compatible with iPod Touch  4G
    you have the latest version available

  • Can an iPod touch 4th Gen run App Store apps?

    Hello!
    I'm thinking about buying a refurbished iPod touch 4th Generation (in white, 32 GB) for my kid. http://store.apple.com/xc/product/FD058LL/A?cid=mail%20share
    Anyways, she wants to download some apps onto her iPod. However, when I go to the App Store on my iPhone and look at Twitter, for example, by "Compatibility" it says "Requires iOS 7.0 or later."
    I know that an iPod touch 4th Generation is stuck on iOS 6. Does this mean it would not be able to download and apps like Twitter that say "requires iOS 7 or later"?
    I just want to be sure before I purchase.
    Thanks!!!

    Yes, unless the developer has left an older version available.

  • Ipod touch 4th gen ios 7

    I got my ipod touch fourth gen 2 months ago and its already considered outdated.I was wondering if i could trade it in towards a 5th gen.

    Apple will only give you a 10% recycling discount if you turn in an old iPod when you purchase a new one. Better off selling it yourself.
