Has anyones' ipod 4th generation ever Freezes on you?

Has anyone had their Ipod 4th generation freeze on them? If yes, how do you attempt to reboot it and ultimately fix the problem?

Try:
- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod 4th generation keeps freezing after iOS 5.0.1 update

Help! My iPod has never frozen like this before! It just completely freezes and I am forced to press and hold the home and sleep buttons to force restart it. Before I updated to iOS 5 my iPod never froze! Is anyone else having this issue?

I feel better knowing I wasn't going crazy this morning. After spending the last 15 hours tweaking iTunes Match, I was afraid the service was draining my battery, but then I just let it sit idle on my desk at work and periodicaly checked it, every 30 minutes I lost 5% when it was in standby. When I was checking mail in 5 minutes, the battery drained 1% each minute. After a full night charge last night the day of standby has brought me down to 43%. I normally charge my 4s every other night, and I listen to Pandora and TuneIn Radio regularly. I have a feeling it hasn't affected everyone, just like I had no issue before, but clearly have a massive issue now.
SERIOUSLY, APPLE. Make an announcement acknowledging this garbage. If my device doesn't get its normal battery life back, the poor folks at my local Apple Store are going to have my family and I raging the place.

Will iOS 6.1.3 on the iPod Touch 4th generation ever get a software update for the iPod Touch 4th Generation

Will iOS 6.1.3 on the iPod Touch 4th generation ever get a software update

Not likely
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?

Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts. It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

will ipod touch 4th generation ever get iOS 7

iOS 6.1.3 is the latest version of iOS available for your iPod touch. Whether there will be any further updates to iOS 6 for the fourth-generation iPod touch no one here can say, but if there are they will almost certainly be bug fixes only.

HT1338 just what is the new software upgrade 10S 6.16. EVERY TIME I PUT NEW SOFT WARE ON MY IPOD 4TH GENERATION TOUCH IT MESSES UP MY IPOD IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. USUALLY IT CUTS IT OFF OF WI FI AND IT WON'T CONNECT!FI

I am afraid to download the new update software ios 6.1.6. Because everytime I let it put new software on, It makes my Ipod 4th generation mess up one way or another. Usually it makes the wifi go off and I cannot get it back on. Then I can't even use the ipod! I am having a problem now with it shuffling. Do both red x's one on each corner right top and left top need to be on for it to shuffle? Thank-You; Sherry PS, I do not have a Mac. I have a dell window 7. and I don't want windows 8. I have heard nothing but bad about it!

Nope, though it did allow me to get some missing songs back onto my iPod. That's something. But neither "Back in Black" or "Dirty Deeds" show up anywhere on the Touch. Could this be because iTunes has no deal with AC/DC?
Quite frankly, at this point, I'd really rather not have the "ease of use" of iCloud attached to the iPod. It's not like I change my playlists that much. It would just be nice to get what I want onto my MP3 player. Not sure which one it was: iCloud, Music Match or the Air Port but the only real result of all the $ I plunked down is seeing all of my Wife's 231 Christmas songs popping up on my laptop. Really don't want them here. She SURE AS **** is sick of seeing all of my stuff on her computer.
Thanks again.

HT4061 ipod 4th generation stuck on start up screen, won't do anything (the black screen with the silverish apple). Help?

This morning, i tried turning on my ipod (4th generation) and it is stuck at the black start upp screen (the screen that has the siverish apple when you have first turned on your device). It has been stuck like this for about a half an hour now, and I'm not sure what to do. This would be the second time in at least three months I have had problems with it (around December it went into recovery mode and i had to reset it to the factory settings). Is there anyway I can handle this at home, or do i have to go into an apple store to have this fixed? Also, I plugged it into my computer and it didnt show up in itunes like it did last time. Thanks! (I'm pretty sure its the IOS 6 because i have not updated it since then).

I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6

I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6... I've updated my iTunes to 10.7 checked my security software tried restoring my iPod and then downloading on my device and my laptop. When I connect it to the computer I try downloading & updating and only downloading.. Still nothing I get error messages, can't connect to update server messages.. I'm just thinking about giving up... What the heck do i do !!??? Will the local apple store do it for me and what's so going to be on the 5th gen I may just wait and get that one. Please help.

Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!

Why won't iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo) charge?

I have an old but much-loved iPod 4th Generation Click Wheel 40gb (non-photo model) that I keep on a charging dock. Yesterday the screen went blank and it refuses to charge, so I assume the battery is dead.
Can anyone tell me if that's the reason? If so, exactly what replacement battery I should get? I've found replacement batteries listed for the iPod 4th Gen 40 GB photo and the 4th Gen 20 GB, but don't know if they'll fit. Thanks so much for any information out there!

hmm - curiouser and curiouser
I've now managed to get it to manually update (after iTunes took 100% of system resources and I had to force quit it...) but that still doesn't really help me with the auto-sync feature which still won't work
aaaaaaggggggghhhhh

ITunes stop working when connecting ipod 4th generation on Vista

When connecting ipod 4th generation to a computer running Vista Ultimate, ITunes (version 8) closes. Windows provide the following message - iTunes has stopped working. A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.
Thanks!

i have the same issue... but i found a workaround.. i tried 3 diff OS's . didnt change the problem. To Add apps or music to ur Ipod... simply DISCONNECT the Ipod from the PC then add files/folders to library. Then connect the ipod back to PC and sync. it has no problem adding the files that way (at least in my case) I hope this helps... Good Luck =)

HT2729 My ipod 4th generation is no longer playing videos. It plays the sound only with message "TV connected- This video is playing on TV"?

My IPOD 4th generation has stopped playing videos. It will play the audio only and displays message "TV CONNECTED" "THIS VIDEO IS PLAYING ON THE TV". Don't know how to re-adjust video setting to what it was prior to this happening.

Do you have an Apple TV? An iPod can AirPlay to an Apple TV.
Can you provide a screen shot of what yo are seeing? Also what specific app is it?

Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

My iPod 4th generation isn't working as it should be

Ok so, I've had my iPod 4th generation, version 6.1.6, 32GB, for about 2 years now, and it WAS completely fine.. But then it started getting slower and slower until some apps started crashing, I thought it was normal at first, thinking it was just because it was getting old, but by the start of 2014 my home button was starting to not work properly, more apps started crashing and it started getting so slow to the point that it was useless! then about a month or two after this year started, none of my apps worked e.g. If I went on a game it would only last about 5 mins then crash, or if I went on Facebook, Instagram, pic collage or any other type of app.. They would just crash In the matter of 5-10 mins. At first it was only the downloaded/purchased apps that did this.. But now even apps like camera, photos, maps, music and App Store crash to... And also my home button has completely stopped working, you can feel that the button doesn't press down anymore either.
so, I've heard ways to fix the problem by looking at all the other questions asked,But all of them are by resetting the iPod; and still keep all the apps although the data in them will go, or switching it off and on and stuff like that... But I've tried everything! Apart from resetting the iPod like new because I don't want to lose any of the data in the apps (and not just stuff like dates and written information, but game progress, and stuff on the actual purchased app).. I don't mind about the home button being broken because I've got that round circle thing on the screen to use.. It's just the fact that I can't go on any of the apps anymore and that the iPod is completely useless.. Please someone help? Anyway to fix this?

Did you restore from backup?
Next would be to restore to factory settings/new iPod since maybe you have some corruption in the backup

HT1212 dont know my daughters ipod 4th generation passcode. If her shut off button doesnt work, is there any way of reseting the device?

Can anyone help me restore my daughter ipod 4th generation if the shut off button doesnt work?

Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:
For PC
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
If necessary:
Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
and
RecBoot tip
For MAC or PC
The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
Then restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
