I am constantly having to restore my Ipod Touch 32g 4th Gen. This is the 7th time in about 5 months.

If you have only restored from backup in the past, try resoring to factory defaults/new iPod since there may be some corruption that is causing the problem and corruption is in the backup.
If you still have a problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod the you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is n order.

My iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen, 6.1.3., has recently crashing and going slow. What should I do?

My iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen, 6.1.3., has recently been crashing/going slow in a lot of applications and while typing. It's also been failing to download/save images from Google Search. I'm thinking of either restarting/rebooting it or just buying a new one. What should I do?

See:
iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
Contact the developer/go to their support site if only one app.

Restore to factory settings/new iPod

Just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. The IOS is currently 4.3.5 and when I try to update to the latest, the connection continually times out. Can you help?

Hi All,
First ever post on here but I feel that my options are slowly running out. I've just bought a second hand iPod Touch 32GB 4th Gen. It was reset to factory settings meaning that that software was 4.3.5
As soon as I plug it into iTunes it asks me to update to the latest version. I click for it to go ahead but the connection times out (error code 3259)
I've been on the phone to apple for over an hour and we still couldn't resolve the issue. We tried disabling the firewall, uninstalling AVG, diabling pop up blockers, checking the LAN settings, disabling the router security and anything else we could think of.
We still couldn't get it to stop timing out. I tried to download the firmware from iClarified but iTunes said it didn't recognise the software.
Has anyone got any ideas?

Just what did yo do to gt iTunes to see the download:

I do not believe that your parents will go "spastic" because your iPod was stolen. I'm thinking that you jailbroke it yourself. Am I correct?

HOw do I get my purchased music back after having to restore my Ipod touch

I had to restore my Ipod touch because of a corrupted file. How do I get my purchased music back?

The answer is that the iCloud advertising in Danish speaks of restoring apps, books and music and shows this, and in small print / gray print adds that in some countries this is not available. The Danish copy does not say that in Denmark the service is unavailable (suppose the English copy in US spelling showed the service, but did not say that the service was unavailable in the US).
http://www.apple.com/dk/icloud/features/apps-books-backup.html
Gendannelse, der ikke er et stort projekt.
Når du indstiller en ny iOS-enhed eller skal gendanne oplysningerne på en, du allerede har, klarer iCloud-sikkerhedskopiering det tunge arbejde. Forbind enheden med Wi-Fi-netværket, og indtast din Apple-id og adgangskode. Dine personlige data – og musik, programmer og bøger købt fra iTunes – vises på enheden.2
2. Sikkerhedskopiering af købt musik ikke tilgængelig i alle lande. Tidligere indkøb gendannes måske ikke, hvis de ikke længere findes i iTunes Store, App Store eller iBookstore.
After another couple of hours of hunting around, a Knowledge Base article in Danish turns up which begins by saying that purchases from the App Store, the iBookstore and the iTunes Store are restorable, but in small print / gray print advises which countries the service in fact covers. Denmark is not covered.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4539?viewlocale=da_DK
I iTunes 10.3 3 og iOS 4.3.3 eller nyere (iOS 5 eller nyere til iPhone (CDMA-model)) kan du automatisk få overført køb fra App Store, iBookstore og iTunes Store til dine andre computere og enheder.
Automatisk overførsel af musik og overførsel af tidligere købt musik er for tiden kun mulig i Argentina, Australien, Belgien, Bolivia, Brasilien, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cypern, Den Dominikanske Republik, Ecuador, El Salvador, Frankrig, Guatemala, Honduras, Irland, Luxembourg, Malta, Mexico, New Zealand, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Slovakiet, Spanien, Schweiz, Storbritannien, Tjekkiet, Tyskland, USA og Venezuela.
Naturally, the Danish copy should in both the advertising and in the additional information start by clarifying that music is not restorable for Danish customers. Instead, the Danish copy extolls a service that does not cover the iTunes Store in Denmark. The term for this in Danish is 'vildledende markedsføring' which is to say that the marketing is misleading.

Cannot restore my iPod touch 3g "Software for this iPhone is not currently"

Hello,
II have a big problem, I cannot restore my iPod touch.
I cannot get anything to show on the screen, it seems stuck in DFU mode. When I connect it to my pc, iTunes show this message "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes".
"Check for update" is grayed. Capacity/serial/Software show N/A.
iTunes detects it as an iPhone but it's an iPod touch.
I tried 2 different computers.
I tried to download firmware and shift restore them, tried many, none work, telling it is not compatible.
When I click restore simply, it show this message "Software for this iPhone is not currently available".
I tried different ipod cable too, no luck.
The only way I can see something on the screen is with greenpoison (note that before this, I never tried nor wanted to jailbreak, but I tried a lot of things since 2 days including this, but no luck), so with green poison, I can get the iTunes + cable logo on the screen, but it won't restore either.
my iPod is just 1 year old, and 32gb, I'm rly frustrated and sad about all this :S, I tried lot of things, searched a lot, nothing work.
This happened when I came back from the gym, in my car, the iPod would not turn on, I tried again at home, and after some home/power, it turned on, I took a shower and when I came back, it was the same problem but since, it never turned on again.
Any help would be rly appreciated, thanks.

If its stuck in DFU mode, just hold the Power/Sleep button and the Home button until the device resets. If your unable to access the springboard, you might need to RECOVER your iPod Touch using the Recovery method, not DFU mode.
Here are few links you should check out:

The iPhone and iPod Touch is very similar, except the iPod Touch doesn't have phone capabilities.

If you never Jailbroken, then why is greenpois0n installed? Did you buy this from a previous owner?

IPod Touch 8GB (4th Gen), upgraded to iOS 5.0.1 now not syncing

I upgraded both my iPod touch and my iTunes software to the latest. I realised I was not able to sync so I restored the device and wiped it clead using the restore option. Restarted and renamed the device and set it up as a new device in iTunes but I am still not able to sync my music nor movies nor apps. I need help to figure out this issue as I can only install new apps via WiFi, I cannot transfer anything using iTunes as sync button is always grayed out.

If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch does not appear under Devices in iTunes after you connect it to your Mac, refer to the troubleshooting suggestions here:

Unable to activate new ipod touch 16gb 4th gen

Hi I just got a new ipod touch 16gb 4th generation & how turned it on to charge & set up etc. I've connected it to my home wifi modem but from thereon it is unable to activate. I have no idea of what software it's running.

I've since been able to activate it to a degree - had to connect to a computer & download iTunes. It still won't let me sign in even though I've set up & verified an apple login. Very frustrating!!

Just got my ipod touch 32gb 4th gen is asking me "choose a network".?? i do not know what this is i am old and only just learning technology.. thanks..

It is asking you so that the iPod can connect to the internet for activation. It appears that yu have a new iPod and are setting it up for the first time via wifi.

Having to restore my ipod touch

I got an ipod touch for Christmas. I had to restore it a number of times. Called Apple and they told me to take it back - so I did - got a new one - now the same thing is happening. Anyone have any ideas or having the same problem?

What people don't want to consider with this type of device is that the computer is an integral part of it's operation.
If your computer is not functioning properly, or is not to spec, you will have troubles no matter how many Touches you get.
I strongly suggest looking at that before going nuts with the Touch.

HT201210 Having trouble restoring my ipod touch 4 gen. When i click restore i get an error message saying that " problem downloading software for the "ipod owner's ipod"

When i try to restore my ipod i recieve an error message saying that "problem downloading softwar for the ipod owner's ipod. error (-23) Please help i need to restore because my daughter somehow set a passcode lock on it and didnt know it and does not know passcode.

There was a problem downloading the software for the iPhone (or another iOS device)
See the steps below for error codes 3000-3999.
Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3014, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes cannot contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
Check that your security or firewall software is not interfering with ports 80 or 443, or with the server gs.apple.com.
Follow Troubleshooting security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (see "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you are using a proxy, try without using one.
Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.

I am having problems restoring an iPod Touch 5G because of lost passcode. The iPod reboots during the process each time so the software cannot be restored.

Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks,

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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

restore problems with ipod touch

If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, read this.

My iPod touch's(4th gen, iOs 5) front camera stopped working. Why? And how can I fix it?

I can't use it on the regular camera, CamWow, instagram, twitter or anything else that involves a camera. And it's only the front camera. I can use the back camera on instagram. Anyway, all of my apps/cameras are all on the front camera and the little button to change it from front to back isn't on it. So I can't use my back camera either. It just randomly stopped working on friday and I don't know why. I've tried turning my iPod on and off but that doesn't work. So please help?

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
