Is your device recognized by your computer? If yes, copy the pictures and videos as shown in this article:
Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
If it is not recognized, try this first: iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
Disable autosync in iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" to copy apps and other media bought in iTunes to your new library.
Do the same again and choose "backup", to create a manual backup without syncing.
Since your device will be erased due to the new iTunes library during the first sync, you can use this backup afterwards to restore your settings and data.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer before you start, to be able to merge calendars and contacts.

  • Does the ipod touch 4th gen's screen have IPS like the iphone 4's?

    So I heard somewhere that the ipod touch 4g's screen does NOT have IPS.
    For those who don't know what IPS is, this is apples description of it:
    "The iPhone 4 Retina display uses technology called IPS (in-plane switching) — the same technology used in the Apple LED Cinema Display and iPad — to achieve a wider viewing angle than on typical LCDs. Which means you can hold iPhone 4 almost any way you want and still get a brilliant picture. That’s perfect when you’re sharing photos with a friend or moving your iPhone around while playing a driving or flying game. In addition, the Retina display offers four times the contrast ratio of previous models, so whites are brighter, blacks are darker, and everything is more beautiful."
    Is this true? Because I also heard that the two main things people wanted from the ipod touch were the camera and the retina display. And those are the only two things that seemed to get cheaply upgraded. Does anybody know if the ipod touch 4g has IPS?

    No need to double post! It has been said by Engadget that it is TN, but Apple has not to my knowledge released the specs. Only difference between TN and IPS is the viewing angle. A few hands on reviews that I seen said there was no distinguishable differences between their iPhone 4's and the iPod Touch 4 with the exception of the viewing angle.
    I am amazed at how people will latch on to this stuff and make an issue about it, yet have never actually seen the freaking thing! LOL Just like no one has seen photos taking with the camera.
    The iPod Touch 4 IS what it IS, folks will either buy it or not. I am booking that a lot that say they aren't going to buy it do anyway and of course this thing is going to be a big seller regardless of all these supposed poor upgrades.

  • Hi, I am trying to update my ipod touch 4th gen. I have downloaded the newest iTunes and each time i try to update i keep getting error 3004 i'm on firmware 5.1.1 trying to update to iOS 6. please help

    Need help

    Ok make sure you have iTunes 11. Then connect iPod touch to computer then iTunes should pop up automatically. After it opens on the bottom left there should be a tab where it says your name and then iPod. For example (Johns iPod) click on that then it brings all your information of the iPod including restore and updating.
    Dont worry

  • Why is my Ipod Touch 4th Gen saying i have headphones in when i don't?

    Last night I was using my Ipod and it worked fine without the headphones. When I woke up this morning it isn't working, when I turn the volume up it says i have headphones in but I don't. I have already tried the trick with taking out and putting in the headphones and i have reset it like 5 times now.

    You may have something stuck inside the headphone jack, blow inside a few times and see if that works. If not, restore the iPod. If that does not work, then that will indicate a hardware problem and you will need to get it fixed by Apple.

  • IPod Touch 4th gen after updating to IOS 6.0.1 no longer plays sound when connected to a JVC KW-AV60BT through USB port.

    It used to work fine, but now when you plug in to the USB, it properly identifies the head unit in settings>General>About, and the JVC unit displays album art, track info and scrolls through music fine, but no sound comes through the speakers. I've tried to reset all settings on the iPod, I've tried the reset on the head unit, even disconnected the vehicle battery and nothing changes. I can also add that my sisters iPhone 4S on IOS 6.0.1 also performs the same when connected. I've tried my Touch in the USB port of my 2010 Chevy truck and that works fine. oh, and an MP3 player worked proper with the JVC USB port.

    - Try resetting the car system if you can.
    Sometimes this works
    - 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.
    However. sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility. In that case you will have to wait for a firmware update to either the care system or the iPod.

  • Wifi not working - iPod touch 4th gen.

    Hi, recently I have been experiencing difficulty joininh my home wifi on my iPod touch 4th gen. I have turned my iPod off and then on again three times, reset the network settings twice and checked the wifi works on other devices, please help! Has this happened to anyone else?

    Does the iPod Touch see your home Wi-Fi network?  If so, what happens when you try to connect to it?  Does you have security enabled on the router/modem such as WEP or WPA/WPA2?

  • The home button on my iPod Touch 4th Gen. is not responding, any ideas?

    The title kinda says it all, I have a iPod Touch 4th Gen., that I have had for almost 2 years. And it has worked wonderfully, up until a few day ago, when I noticed that the home button was getting harder and harder to push on. and then earlier today it just stopped working all together. To exit out of an app, I had to stut off the iPod and restart it again.
    I have considered sending it to Apple, but at, $105 (estimated) I was wondering if there was any other ways to fix the problem. And I'm not even sure if it's a problem with the hardware, or the software.
    Thanks!

    Try:
    fix for Home button
    Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
    - If you have iOS 5 and later you can turn on Assistive Touch it add the Home and other buttons to the iPods screen. Settings>General>Accessibility>Assistive Touch

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen "Other" files goes 20+ GB?

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen 32 GB non-Jailbroken with iOS 5.0.1. Recently checked at iTunes for Usage. I've given a strange result :
    From above, the details of the Usage are:
    Audio = 191 songs
    Video = 1 Video (8 minutes)
    Photos = 428 Pictures and 8 Videos ( All are under 10 mins)
    Apps = 81 Apps
    Other = ?
    The question is, What are the "Other" Files? And in what way to reduce that file?
    Optional -> My friend has a Jailbroken iPod and has this problem too, how to solve it?
    Thanks in Advance

    We do not support jailbroken devices here so we cannot help your friend. He should unjailbreak so he is no longer in violation of the iPod license agreement.
    That aside, "Other" should never be more than a GB or two, so it would probably be a good idea to restore your iPod. Try from a backup first, and if that doesn't work, restore to factory settings.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen 64Gb EXTREAMLY slow to sync

    My iPod Touch 4th Gen seems to have, in recent weeks, slowed down syncing. I have made no changes, and only use it for music, yet when new music goes on, it takes around 1.5mins per track to sync. The files size per track is the 5MB (192kbps MP3). So I am a little stumped as to explain why it is being so slow, and I do not have time to restore if I am to get the tracks back onto the iPod before I go away on a 2 day course tomorrow.
    Sync over USB, iOS 6.0.1, iTunes 11.0.1.12
    Any ideas, please tell me.

    Now it's doing it with all my music.I have reset the iPod,restored to a back up and even to factory setting and it's still doing it.my mates iPod still has 4.3.5 and the album plays only one song but mine wants to play 2songs at the time it only stated doing this after the iOS 5 update  I kept a back up of my iPods 4.3.5 on a USB hard disk if I restore to iPod to that back up will the iPod go the 4.3.5?

  • Slow iPod Touch 4th Gen.

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen. I have had it for around 4 years now. It is getting slower by the day! I tried restoring it but it was a temporary solution! I have minimum apps but still it is very slow. Please Help!!

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
