How to kill apps in ipod touch 5th gen with new ios7

I updated to new ios7 and now I'm not able to kill apps like in the earlier version of ios6.
Also, is there an app that automatically kills apps in the background after a while.

Double-click the Home button to bring up the app screen, then swipe upwards on the app.

is there an app that automatically kills apps in the background after a while.
None I know of. I don't believe that the software development kit would allow someone to write such an app.

    B-rock, thanks for posting the above.  I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\.  When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
    I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
    I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message.  I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
    In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
    What am I doing wrong, can you help? 
    Thank you!

    Upgrading to Snow Leopard = OS X 10.6.x
    It is Not available as a download... It is a Paid Upgrade.
    Do this first...
    Check that your Mac meets the System Requirements for Snow Leopard...
    Snow Leopard Tech Specs
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If so... Purchase a Snow Leopard Install Disc...

    After the Successful Install, run Software Update to get the latest updates for Snow Leopard and iTunes.
    You should now be able to Sync.
    Be sure to make a Backup of your Current System Before Upgrading...

  • IPod touch 5th gen with OS X 10.5.8

    I've recently bought an iPod touch 5th gen but am struggling to get it to sync with my macbook pro, OS X 10.5.8.
    I've done some digging around and it seems I will need to upgrade to 10.6.8 in order to sync it. However, I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard first, and then to Mountain Lion.
    It just seems a bit convoluted and I wanted to check I've got this right, before purchasing 2 operating systems just to be able to sync my iPod!!

    All you need is Snow Leopard, which is 10.6.8. That and later OSXs require A Mac with an Intel processor. A Mac with a Power PC processor (G4 and G5) can only go to 10.5.8.

  • How do you reset your iPod Touch 5th Gen if you do not know the restrictions password?

    I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation and i need to reset it because i am having issues with it not loading basically anything since i did the update. I don't know the restrictions passcode so i was wondering if there was any way to reset it without the password.

    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod. . Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.   
    - If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3 or iOS 7

  • How do I fix my IPod touch 5th gen?

    i changed my password yesterday and now i don't remember what i changed it to. The screen says that it is disabled and tells me to connect to iTunes. I'm sorry to bother you. (I would give you the details but my computer wont let me, but i can give you the serial number, it's CCM3BHRFFCJ)

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

    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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.

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I'm having problems transfering audiobooks to my iPod touch 5th Gen with the latest software upgrade.  It combines 2 books under the same title giving me multiple chapters within the single title.

    When I transfer audiobooks to my touch, I sometimes get a new book transferred that shows up correctly in iTunes but when I open music on the iPod, I have a single book title with both volumes under it.  I end up with 2 Chapters 1, 2 Chapters 2, etc.  Anyone else have this problem?

    Well, I decided to try working at it from the Windows side because I was getting absolutely nowhere using iTunes in OS X. Strangely enough it just worked like it's supposed to this time when I loaded up iTunes in Vista. (I tried before in Vista, with the same problem occurring).
    No idea why it worked... I hadn't even authorized iTunes in Vista to play tracks registered to my iTMS account.
    If anyone can offer any help from the Mac side, it would be much appreciated. I only have a few specific reasons for using Vista... would prefer if I could avoid restarting into it just to change a few things on my iPod.

  • Problems after iOS 7.1.2 on Ipod Touch 5th Gen

    At about 3 hours ago my Ipod Touch 5th Gen turned off on me. It came back on itself, so I accessed the lock screen correctly put my password in and thats where my problems started.
    I put in the correct password it accepted it.
    The screen then changed to my background screen colour.
    Very quickly the screen went black and the apple logo came on (as if it was turning on)
    I repeated the process again and I can not access my home screen or any of the apps. It repeats itself.
    I've had all my apps crash on me ever since I downloaded the iOS 7.1.2 update.
    On the lock screen I can still access the flash light and both cameras?
    What I have tried:
    Turning it on and off.
    Charging it.
    Plugging it into iTunes.
    Reset where I hold the lock and home button.
    Nothing works.
    Its a 32gb Ipod touch 5th gen with about 6gb of storaged unused.
    I haven't dropped it or done anything unusual.
    At the time it crashed I was playing on Farmville 2 app. This app crashes alot could it have something to do with it?
    Please someone help me, I've googled it and can't find any problem like mine on here!
    I've only had it 7 months.
    Thanks,
    Nadia

    Then do this:
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds
           until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • IPod touch 5th Gen Headphone Jack

    I contacted the 2 points on the left side of the headphone jack on the iPod touch 5th Gen with a pin when I was probing in there. Did I short circuit anything or am i just paranoid.
    Thanks

    If it works fine now then likely nothing damaged.
    If problems now but not before then you likely damaged it.

  • How much apps without songs/photos/videos can a 32gb ipod touch 5th gen hold?

    I can't. The storage requied for apps varies greatly. Some apps only need/use 10 or so MB. However, some apss need like 5 GB.

  • If i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it as the option 'set up as new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos and ect?

    if i factory reset my ipod touch(5th gen), can i reset it to the option 'set up as a new ipod', and then i can just go into the app store/itunes store and log into my apple ID so i can just restore my music and apps and not icloud with photos, contacts, ect. and then later i can add contacts that i need/want instead of them restoring them from icloud?
    The reason i asked this question is because i have been wondering this a lot ever since i got an exchange on this ipod (and ive only had it for a few weeks now) because my last ipod had a lot of problems. so after i restored my ipod with my computer/itunes, i downloaded apps that i wanted, and then when i went to the storage to see how much storage was left, it said 0 bytes. i was freaking out because i didnt know how that could be, i mean, cause like, that is impossible when i just 'purchased' it, that the space was full but i looked and all my pictures were on this ipod and i already put them on my computer so i dont need them anymore thats why i wanna reset it now so there is nothing on it so i can have more space for stuff to do and download on it.
    it is updated to iOS 8 but that happened when i purchased it, so i didnt have a choice to update it even though i didnt want to update to iOS 8...
    and i hope you understand my problem..
    i would REALLY REALLY appreciate it if someone could tell me a solution to my problem!!! thank you so much!

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.
