Are you sure it is a 4G iPod?  Does it have a camera?

  • I have a 4th gen ipod touch.  Since I won't be able to upgrade to 7, should I not update apps?

    I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.  Since I won't be able to upgrade to iOS7, should I avoid updating apps?  The app update notices I am receiving state the updates are to be compatible with iOS7.

    The iPod will prevent you from install apps and app updates that require iOS7. Recently that have been problems with 4G iPod giving a bade indicating that update were available but when you went to the update section of the App Store app no updates were listed. That was due to an error on Apple's parts since the app updates were only compatible with iOS 7.

  • I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas?

    I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!

    Try:
    - 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. The appointment is free.

    Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

  • Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.

    Sometimes when listening to music or a podcast, it will stop and start in rapid fire.  I have a 4th gen iPod Touch.  A Genius suggested something went wrong during the transfer from my MBP to my iPod, but I tried resyncing it, and it seems to happen haphazardly.  Even if a podcast plays oddly one time, it might play perfect the next - so it can't have been the sync that went bad. 

    - First try a reset. Nothing will be lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next restore from backup
    - The restore to factory defaults/new iPod

    Hi paul.lisa,
    Then when you press down on one of those icons (on the actual Home screen), and all the icons start to wiggle, a small black "x" should show up in the upper left-hand corner:

  • I have a 4th Gen. iPod touch and it won't sync all my music. It syncs most but not all. How do I fix this?

    I connect my ipod and it syncs and goes to add the music but it won't finish adding everything. It stops with like 20 songs left and when I click sync so it will add the others it does the four step process thing for connecting and then doesn't do anything.

    If it plays in iTunes on the computer then delete from iPod and sync to iPod
    Also try deleting and redownloading by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • 4th gen ipod touch wont charge, turn on, or appear in itunes for recovery.

    I have been trying to fix it for a few days now, repeatedly being linked to the same support pages but to no success. I ran the diagnostics tool in iTunes and everything is working fine it is just the device wont appear at all. I saw a back up that is saved from a few months back but i'm not sure what to do with it. It is stuck in a black screen, and nothing appears on screen. I have left it plugged into a wall charger and into my computer for several hours but no progress. It has 6.1.5.

  • TS1363 I have a 5th Gen Ipod Classic which has just stopped being seen by iTunes.  I have reloaded itunes and rest my iPod but still nothing.  Any advice?

    I have 5th gen iPod classic and although it is recognised by my windows vista software within the "computer" tab. iTunes does not see it.  I have totally reset my iPod and reloaded the iTunes software on my PC (which actually sorted my issues with mt 32gb touch) but to no avail.
    Any assistance would be grately appreciated?

    Nothing has changed frlom when it worked on Saturday to it not working on Sunday!  The iPod does not appear in iTunes on either my laptop or my PC.  The iPod appears to be fully functional, the wheel works and the date/time etc is all correct.  However, it is empty of all music and videos.  It was almost full (give or take 10 gb)
    The display on the iPod says connected!  Is there a setting on it which changes it from an iPod to a disc drive?  Other than that, I can see what's wrong.
    Everything is working perfectly apart from it's deleted all my stuff and the PC only sees it as an external hard drive?
    As I said, my touch is fine

  • I have a 4th gen ipod touch and i reset to factory settings but it is frozen with the apple logo with a gray lined circle. I've tried running out battery and when i connected to itunes, it flashes gray and freezes again. I don't know what to do plz help.

    it wont turn on after reset to factory settings

    there is a program called recboot. you can download it for free in two parts. one part takes your device out of recovery mode and the other puts it into recovery mode. ive used it before but it doesnt always work and you have to be patient. try it and tell me what happens

  • I have a 4th gen ipod touch. I deleted soundcloud to reload it but now i cant install it cause its only for iOS 7 when it used to have a iOS 6 version. Any idea on how i can get soundcloud on my ipod? cause it sure wont let me now

    Basically when i try to reinstall it says its only for iOS 7 or later and that I cant install it. Ive tried everything at this point.
    someone help

    Use this method:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Comparing 2nd gen and 4th gen ipod touch capacities

    Hi
    I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that was 29.4Gb capacity with around 2.8gb left of space. I was gifted with a 4th gen ipod touch which has a 29.06 gb capacity. When I was trying to restore it from the backup of the 2nd gen ipod touch, it says I have 1.6gb left? Of course you have the 0.4gb difference but what happened to the 1.2gb???

    Was your 2nd gen the same iOS verson?
    Does your 2nd gen have the FaceTime app?
    Does your 2nd gen have the Camera app?
    Does your 2nd gen have the ring tones in Settings -> Sounds?
    Does your 2nd gen support separate alarm volume vs media volume controls?
    I'm sure there are other differences specific to the 4th gen which the 2nd gen can not do, so it would not include those bits.
