If not successful try the remaining items of
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.

    How do I get my ipod touch 5th generation to always use my car speakers when I plug it into the USB port?

    If the problem occurs after you restore it to factory defaults/new iPod then it is likely a hardware problem.  I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How do i stop my ipod touch from reverting back to the default music player everytime i get back in my car?

    The only place I use my Ipod Touch is in my car that has an iPod connection and the steering wheel controls, but I mostly listen to audio books with the audible app. Everytime I get in my car instead of the iPod just picking up where it left off with the audible app it picks up playing whatever was last listened to with the default music player. How can I stop this? Although sometimes it will pick up with the audible app where it stopped when I last used the car (the time I spend with it not playing in the car doesn't seem to make a difference.). Just a little side question is there anyway to get rid of the newstand app, safari, messaging, facetime, gamecenter and all those other app that apple forces upon it's users?

    There is nothing yo can do to return to the app you want.
    You can't delete the apps that came with the iPod. Except for NewsbStand, you can put the apps you do not want into one folder and move it to the last screen

  • How do I stop my iPod touch from backing up every time I connect

    Hello all,
    Every time I connect my ipod to my mac book it does a back up, which can take quite some time if I haven't connected it for a while. It has only been doing this since I upgraded to 2.0. Is it necessary? can I back it up manually? How do I stop it?
    Thanx,
    JBN

    During the backup process, you should be able to click on the little X at the top of iTunes, where it shows the backup process progression. This will stop the backup. From there, your sync will continue.
    However, without a good/recent backup, if you had to restore your iPod, you would lose all of the settings/notes/etc that had been changed or created since your last full backup. You will want to let the backup complete every so often to make sure that you have a good one on hand that you can use if you need it.

  • How do I stop my ipod touch disappearing from my device list?

    - Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sign out and sign in with other ID. To update apps purchased with the first account you will have to log into that account.
    - iTunes purchases are permanently locked to the account that purchased the.
    - There are also other items on the device that are associated with the account such as iCloud account and where you can be reached for Messages and FaceTime.

  • How can you stop your ipod touch data from being restored on the computer with a program that lets you see your deleated safari history

    heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppp pppppppppppppp

    Delete the backup from iTunes. Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and highlight the backup and click on delete. You have to do that after every sync. Also, make sure that you empty the recycle bin (PC) or trash (Mac) to really delete the backup.
    Also, in the future you can turn on Private browsings in Settings>Safari or go there and Clear History right before you sync.

  • How can I stop iOS3 iPod Touch v1 apps being removed when iTunes updates apps with iOS4   apps

    I have an iPhone 4 with iOS5 whilst my old iPod Touch Mk1 still runs on iOS3. My old iPod now rests in the handbag of my wife who will use the installed apps if she is near a wifi she can use. There is however an increasing problem in that wheras it is more than capable whilst running the old apps iTunes is automatically upgrading them as new versions are released and increasingly upgraded apps only support iOS4 +. The obvious answer of buying a new iPod does not compute, its a good iPod and despite years of regular use the battery life is more than reasonable and the iPod function wit h16gb is more than adequate so I refuse to commit it to the silicon graveyard yet ( i still run old G3 and G4 macs as servers and have an old Classic that still provides amusement at parties).
    If however this automatic upgrade and trashing of old apps continues it will not be long before one day we sync the ipod and find it wipes al lthe apps off as they are no longer iOS3 compatible. Anyone ever found a way to protect the apps of an iOS3 device whislst all ipods are synced from the same iTunes user account?

    There really is not god way.  Whatyou migh consider it sonnecting the iPod to a different computer and transfering purchases to the computer.  That way yu will still have the version of the apps that are compatible with the iPod.

    At a later date if necessary you can delete the newer apps from the library of the syncing computer and put the older ones in and do what you want to the iPod.

  • How do you connect your ipod touch 2g to itunes so you can unlock your ipod

    I forgot my ipod passcode and it disabled after atleast ten times. I don't know how to connect it to itunes so I can unlock it. So, if you have any help please answer!!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    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        
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recovery use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

  • Why won't my iPod touch 3rd gen. let me slide to unlock? Could it be fixed for a low price?

    I come across my old iPod touch third gen. I charge and boot it up. When it got to the lock screen I couldn't slide it to open. I tried restoring it, and about 15-25 minutes later, it boots up, and I still couldn't open it. I dunno, like 2 years ago, I was charging it. I wanted to listen to my music with my earphones on. But it kept pausing the music, but I don't know why. So I got mad at it, haha, and threw it at the floor. And then I guess it stopped working. A year later maybe, I got an iPad 4th gen. And today I found my old iPod. And then found that it doesn't work. I just want to know if it can be fixed, but I don't think I will use it... There are no Apple Stores in North Dakota, so I don't know. I think the closest one is in Minneapolis, Minnesota. But I can't drive that far..... Just wondering, but doesn't really need to be fixed cuz I have my iPad    I love it so much :) but yeah. Just wondering. Thanks!

  • I just wanna buy a new iOS device and I'm confused between the iPod touch 5th generation, iPhone 4s 8GB, iPad 4th generation 16GB and iPad mini with the retina display 16GB model. Please help me figure out.

    I have an iPhone 4s 16GB Model and I've been using it for about more than an year now. The reason I wanna get a new iOS device is because my 4s has got lots of scratches now and it's ambient light sensor seems not to work properly. Apparently, another reason is that the iLife and iWork suit are not free for me as my device is older and new devices get those softwares for free.
    I thought to go with a new iPhone 4s again but the problem is that new 4s come with only 8GB of storage and they don't support AirDrop. So next, I thought to go with an iPod touch 5th gen because of its jaw-dropping design, bigger screen, more storage and AirDrop support. Because iPod touch is phone-less iPhone and they come at affordable price, I can also buy any cheap cell phone like moto e to replace my current iPhone 4S.
    Another options that I thought a little bit on, is iPad 4th Gen and iPad mini with Retina display 16GB.
    Now, should I just stick with my current 16GB iPhone 4s, or get a new one.
    Or should I buy an iPod touch 5th gen and moto e (since iPod can't make phone calls)
    Or should I go with one of the two iPad models that I aforementioned.
    Awaiting your valuable suggestions.
    Thank you!

    They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
    If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.
