I can send messages with my 5th generation iPod touch but cannot recieve them. What's wrong?

Cannot recieve messages from ipad or iPhone from my iPod. I am able to send messages to them. Have checked the settings.

I figured out that I had to have an iCloud.com address to receive messages from iPhones.

  • HT1349 My daughter received a 5th generation iPod touch but it doesn't have a camera on the back side. Just the front does anyone know why? Thx

    Any help on iPod 5th with no camera on back side just the front.
    Thx

    We had the same problem - the packaging all says 5th generation and it fits the specs on the website for the 16GB. Nowhere in the website does it say that the lower GB model does not include the rear camera. My daughter had already gotten all of her music loaded up before we figure this out. Very disappointing for us as well!

  • 5th generation iPod Touch speaker is not working with music and apps, but the alarm sound goes off fine. Why?

    I have a 5th generation iPod Touch and it got a small amount of water in it around the speaker. When I tried to see if my music would play through it, it couldn't. But, when I tried my alarm to make sure I could still hear it, you could. The sound was fine from the alarm, not as loud as it used to be but I could still hear it. Why doesn't the sound work with my music and apps? Also, would I be able to exchange it if I have a warranty?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Can't Delete Movies from 5th gen iPod Touch?

    K... This is strange.  Before we headed to the Marvel Universe Live performance, my son asked me to free up some space on his 5th generation iPod touch 32gig.  So I did or at least I tried.  It didn't free up any space at all and general settings still says there's 18 movies????  I synced to iTunes and tried syncing again with no movies selected.  I then tried throwing a couple back on but it says no space. What gives?  It still thinks there on there but they don't show up except under the "About" settings.  Yes, I've already tried a hard reboot.  I just don't want to have to sit for hours while it restores.  I was going to run Disk Utility but didn't realize i can no longer do that.
    Any tips?

    OTHER
    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

  • 5th generation Ipod Touch won't charge past 20%?

    I bought my 32 gb 5th generation Ipod Touch not more than 2 weeks ago at my local Walmart. Everything was working perfectly until today. All day, my ipod would charge until 20%.. run on this charge for approximately 10 minutes, and then die again. It does not continue charging after the 20% mark and I'm not quite sure how to verify that it does. I've tried using the charger with different usb ports/computers but still no luck. My ipod has been going through some pretty cold conditions temperature-wise the last few days.. does that have any affecton the battery maybe? Ahh, at this point I'm just frustrated.. hopefully someone knows how to fix this!

    - See:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable
    - Try another charging source
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, cracked or broken plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.

  • Why isn't the new iOS4 update compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch

    It makes me extremely angry that i have wanted what the new update contains ever since i got my ipod and now I can't have it because whoever made the update didn't make it compatible with the 1st generation iPod touch. Ig someone could give me a good reason as to why this happened that would be much appreciated.

    Doesn't have the needed hardware in particular not enough RAM.

  • 5th Generation iPod Touch Syncing issues

    I recently receive a 5th Generation iPod Touch as a gift and I am having issues with it. I plugged the iPod into my Windows 7 PC with iTunes 11.4.0.18 and had issues from the start. First, my iPod would not even sync any media content from my library. So I messed around with the settings until the content was on my iPod. Once, it was on there I went to play a song that I had downloaded and it immediately skipped the song and kept going to the next available song , so I went back on to the forums to see that it could be a corruption on the backup and all you would have to do is restore your iPod and it would fix your issue. I did that got to the same step and a few songs played but most skipped. The album art is there for most of the songs not the music. I then went to iPod>On this iPod to find that every song I had just sync had an exclamation point error by the song. This is only happening on the On this iPod menu the music plays fine on the music menu without an issue. I am curious of what I am doing wrong here? I also read that it could be a much bigger problem in that I would have to delete all my music and re-install it. If that is the case I will deal with the iPod as is. It is not worth my time to spend hours trying to re-install 15+ GB on my PC again. 

    Verify that all play in iTunes on the computer.
    Then
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or                     
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    - Unsync/delete all music and resync
    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
    - 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. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       

  • What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    What is the provisioning feature in the settings under, general>profile? It says something about "provisioning". What does that mean and what does it do?? (It's on my 5th generation iPod touch, black, iOS 6.1.3

    A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device.  Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
    However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

  • Apps on 5th-Generation iPod touch Not Updating

    After updating my 5th-generation iPod touch to iOS 8.3, none of my apps will update.  It goes to the point of showing the square inside the circle, and all activity stops after that.  Does anyone know how to resolve this?

    If the app has not data yo can try deleting the app and reinstalling
    You can also download on computer and sync to the iPod.
    Last, backup your iPod and restore from backup

    Apple has not yet made an announcment.  It is against the terms of use of this forum to speculate on such things.  Google if you want.

  • When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

    When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

    Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.
