How do I fix updates in iPod Touch 4th generation?

I know I cannot update my iPod Touch to iOS 7.
The App Store icon shows that there are three updates available, but when I go to the update page there are none shown. If I look at all updates I notice there are three apps in the list that show as needing an update. When I click on any of these apps I get a popup screen that tells me the update doesn't apply to version 6.1.3.
I'm fine with that, but I would like to see the updates not show up on the App Store icon if they cannot be installed in 6.1.3.
Is Apple trying to tell me I should retire my three-year-old iPod Touch?
Bill

That's because there is a bug in iOS 6.1.3 that puts the notification badge on the App Store icon when there is an update available even if that update is only compatible with iOS 7.  Therefore, you don't see the app under Updates because it is not compatible with your iOS version, but the bug still causes the notification badge.  If you leave it on the Updates page for a little while, the badge will go away.  But it will reappear after a few hours
The only thing to do is to report it as a bug to Apple using http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html .  Maybe if enough of us do this, they will fix it.

  • How can I fix a frozen iPod touch 4th generation?

    I tried to put my pass code in and it frozen and wouldn't unlock.  The screen then went to the apple logo screen for five minutes.  From the apple logo screen then went to a white screen with colorful vertical lines on the screen.  It's now been on this last screen for thirty minutes.  I don't really want to replace it or bring it to an apple store because the nearest store is over two hours away.  I've tried to press the power and home button and I've held the power button down for five minutes with no results. 

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

  • Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    Hello. Today, I was updating my iPod Touch 4th Generation to iOS 6. I unplugged the iPod when it was during the installation because it appeared to be frozen. Now the iPod is stuck at a light blue screen even after I reset it. How do I fix it?

    You will need to do a DFU restore by holding the home and power buttons down (while the device is plugged in to your computer) until the device's screen goes black and as soon as the screen goes black, count down from 3 and release the power/sleep button, but keep holding down the home button. Then, iTunes will say the iPod needs to be restored. The restore process will take some time and even though the iPod may appear to be frozen, don't interrupt the restore.

  • HT1222 How can i still update my ipod touch 2nd generation?

  • I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1 and my Photos, Videos, contacts, music, App data, etc. was deleted. How can I all the data back?

    I updated my iPod touch 4th generation from the latest iOS 4 update (i think maybe iOS 4.3.5 or something like that) to iOS 5.1.1. I updated to iOS 5.1.1 on a Windows XP Home Edition with the Service Pack 3 installed on the Windows XP (which I believe is the latest version). After updating, I unplugged my iPod from the computer. I saw that all my photos and videos were on my iPod, but there were no apps. A window popped up and told me to enter a passcode for my iPod. I entered a passcode. I then locked my iPod and entered what I thought to be the correct passcode, but my iPod remained unlocked. Desperate, I tried many passcodes with failure. After a while, my iPod became disabled for a long time. I decided to reset my iPod. After I reseted it, I chose to reset from my earlier back up. After reseting, my computer loaded on all my apps. But, when I started using my iPod, I realized all my photos, videos, music, app data (like game saves and high scores), etc. were gone! I have no idea what to do and I am very stressed about this! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET ALL MY STUFF BACK!!!!!!

    Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
    When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
    Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
    It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup.

    The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. If that media is not in the iTunes library then it is gone after the update/restore.

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

    I dropped my iPod touch 4th generation on the tar and cracked the screen. I am unaware if you need your warranty information to get it repaired. This is the first time it has ever Borlaug in the time frame of the warranty. If I do need it how do I find it, I have been on the site for about two hours and it is not telling me how to.

    A broken screen is not covered by the warranty.  Here is a list of out-of-warranty replacement pricing: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/ You do not need any information to get this price.
