I have the 4th gen. Ipod Touch, for the past few weeks it has been super slow. Everytime I try to open any app, it closes, and wont allow me to use it. Help me! It's so frustrating..

I've tried backing it up on my computer, it works fine for a few hours. But, it just keeps acting slow. I've deleted atleast 20 apps, and have even tried using it less.. I don't know what could be the problem.. I also cant turn it off, because the lock button is broken. The nearest apple store is at least an hour away, and I never have time to drive that far..

- Restore from backup. (not clear of what " backing it up on my computer" means) 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.

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 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
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.
- 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.

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

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

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

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.

The message 'Your apple ID has been disabled' appears when I try to purchase an app from the app store. How do I enable it?

Can I trade out my 4th Gen Ipod Touch, for the 5th Gen Ipod Touch?

I have an Ipod Touch 4th Gen that I bought in April with the warranty, and I was wondering if I could trade it in for the Ipod Touch 5 and pay a much smaller amount for it.

On Amazon.com, you can: http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/s/ref=tradeinavs?url=rh%3Dn%3A2226766011%26i%3De lectronics-tradein&field-keywords=iPod&Go.x=17&Go.y=13

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.

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

For the past few days Firefox has been freezing after I open it without even reaching the homepage - grateful for any light you can shed on this!

I don't seem to be able to put a screenshot in this message but the screen is basically mostly black. I have tried uninstalling and then reinstalling Firefox but to no avail. It suddenly started doing this last week. Is there something I can do to put it right? I am running it from a 64bit Dell laptop if that's any help?
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Regards,
Paul

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
