How come ipod touch doesn't have a radio app?

I have come to a realization that my current ipod touch, a 64gb 4th generation ipod touch doesn/t have a radio app. unlike my mother's ipod nano which has a radio app. i am confused as why some apple products have radio apps by default and not all apple products have a radio app? it would be handy to have.

I believe, if I am right, that the headphone jack on the iPod Shuffle is made diffrently. When you plug in the headphones in to an iPod Shuffle, the headphones end up becoming an antenna for the iPod. Thus, why it won't work with out it. The iPod Touch is not made so that the headphones do that.

  • My iPod touch doesn't have the apple store app anywhere. How do I install it on my iPod touch?

    I think it's a 3rd generation iPod touch. I am trying to download apps for my friend because she doesn't have any apps or games on her iPod. So I took her iPod home and tried to download apps but then I realized she doesn't have a apple App Store. So how do I install it onto her iPod.

    It can't be deleted but it can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions.
    Also, have you used the Spotlight search? Maybe yo just can't find it.

  • When is the ipod touch going to have a radio built into it, like the new ipod nano

    I was wondering when the ipod touch will come out and have radio inbuilt into it like the new ipod nano. I used to have an ipod touch, lost it and got the nano and one of the best things about the nano was the FM radio! So I decided that I wouldn't buy an ipod touch until it had a radio because I listen to the radio more than my music... So I wanted to know how lond I would have to wait.

  • How come my S5 doesn't have all the camera features. Like zoom for an example

    I see everyone with alot of different modes on the S5 camera but I have only 3 choices to choose from and no Zoom what so ever

    Unlike the S3 and S4 where you could use the volume buttons to zoom in and out, I have found with the S5 you have use two fingers on the screen to zoom in and out.  Spread your fingers apart to zoom in and move them together to zoom back out.

  • Ipod Touch:  Does it have problems playing Apple Lossless files?

    Hi All
    This might sound like a strange question to some of you but considering the hassles I am having with the 120gb classic it isn't.
    To make a long story short my 120gb classic cannot play Apple Lossless files properly. Essentially they crash the ipod because the files are too large. I have done some research and on many forums people are experiencing the same problem.
    I do find it quite offensive that Apple do not have the courage to admit this is a problem but there is nothing I can do about it.
    So my solution is to get rid of my 120gb classic and move to a Sony or Cowon player (still doing research to make sure they can handle lossless (not apple) files).
    However i really do love everything else about the ipod so I would love to find a way to keep it.
    I figure maybe the new ipod touch's might not have this problem because they are solid state and if that is the case then I can stump up for one of those and keep with the ipod brand.
    Does anyone know if the Touch's can deal with these large files? Apparently the problem with the old 120gb classics was the small 64mg cache. Hopefull the Ipod touch doesn't have this issue.
    Anyway any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Eddie

    If I went with an Ipod touch it would be a newer so I guess it would have the newest OS on it.
    I'll wait awhile longer and do some more research before I take the plunge because I do not want to get ripped off like I did with the 120gb Classic.
    Thanks for the reply though. At least it is leading into the right direction!

  • I have bought an iPod touch 4g and installed TomTom Europe app. How do I get a decent GPS signal, since the TomTom carkit doesn't do the job?

    I have bought an iPod Touch 4g and installed TomTom Europe GPS app. How do I get a decent GPS signal in my car, since the TomTom car kit for Ipod Touch doesn't do the job for the ipod Touch 4g?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
    Also see:
    Recover Older Versions of iPhone Apps After Updating — Apple News, Tips and Reviews
    The bakup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
    If you still have the one 2G with the Netflix app, delete the new NetFlix app from her computer anf then transfer iTunes purchased to the iTunes library by:

    Then sync to her iPod. You may have to sign the iPod into the account that purchased it to sync it.

  • When I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    when I see the usage on my iPod touch 4 they have categories for how much space is being used where. What does the "other" category contain? Like what could I delete on my iPod to get rid of the "other" category?

    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:

    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • I just recently purcased my new ipod touch 5 but, have forgotten my password. It has not yet been connected to a computer but has been conected to icloud. How can I reset my password?

    Hi, I just recently purchased an ipod touch 5 and have already forgotten my password. I have not yet connected it to my computer so when I tried today it didn't show up as a device. When I tried to go into icloud on my other device, thinking that may help, it would not let me change the email because it was my school ipad. What should I do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.
