I'm lost with my new "used" iPod touch 4th gen.  Just downloaded iOS 6; seems to be trying to access a WIFI signal but I have it hard wired into my MAC and I do not have WIFI.  Need iPod for dummies - very basic and simple help.

On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

    my iPod touch 4th gen 8gb won't turn on and i don't have iTunes on my computer to restore it and i've tried to hold every button can someone help me?

    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.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You will very like need a computer with iTunes make the iPod work.

  • My iPod touch 4th gen white's home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.

    My home button doesn't work the first time I press it, but the second time.  This is very annoying.  Why is it doing this?

    - Try a reset. It cures many ills and nothing is 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.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen won't connect to my computer, charge or connect to iTunes.

    Okay, here is the issue. My computer runs Windows Vista. Ever since I have updated iTunes to 11.0.2, my iPod touch hasn't been able to connect to the computer at all. I don't know if there is any correlation between the update and my issue, but I need someone to be the judge of that. Apple has suggested that you uninstall iTunes, QuickTime, etc. restart the computer and then reinstall them. So I have done that multiple times, and my iPod still won't connect to the computer. My sister's iPod touch, 4th gen just like mine won't connect to iTunes or the computer either. I have spent a lot of time looking up possible solutions, but none of them work at all. I've done everything Apple suggests in troubleshooting and such, but nothing works. I was hoping someone else might be able to give me a solution. One that hopefully does not involve uninstalling and reinstalling Apples programs, which I have done several times.
    I have tried all accessable USB ports on my computer, and I have switched between the four different USB cords that we have, so this isn't the issue. My PS Vita will connect to the computer with no issue at all, so it isn't the USB ports either. I can plug my iPod Touch into my PS3 and it will charge the instant I plug either end of the cable in, the same for my sister's. I can plug it into the dock on my mother's alarm clock and it will charge just fine. I'm open to any suggestion, so please help me out here.

    So you tried everything here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar. The sidebar is where Devices appears. and Control+B to show the Menu bar
    Try connecting to another computer to help determine if you have an iPod or computer problem.

  • Is it worth trading in my iPod Touch 4th Gen. for an iPod Touch 5th Gen.?

    And will the iPod Touch 4th Gen. get the iOS 7 update as well? I keep getting mixed answers on this question.

    the 4 cannot get iOS7. The 5 can.
    If you take your device into an apple store they will give you a 10% discount for recycling your old device.
    However I sold my 'like new' condition 4 to best buy for $70 and could have gotten over $100 for it on Amazon, so if you're in the US, you have other options that'll get you more than the $30 or so you'll get from an Apple store (10% of a 32 gig iPad would be around $30)
    You can even look into listing it on ebay, craig's list or other places that will buy them. I even have a local used dvd store here that'll buy old devices.
    If you're looking to save a few bucks on your new device, I would recommend the other options than the 10% you get from Apple. Find the right place, and depending on the condition of your device (mine was literally like new, not a single scratch) you can get the equivalent of a 30% discount (Using my $70 towards the purchase of a $299 device).....and if I'd wanted to wait a couple of weeks, it'd have been almost 50% if I'd mailed it into Amazon. (I believe at that point in time they would have paid up to $150 for it)

  • Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

    I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

    For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
    Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
      You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

  • Lost iPod Touch 4th Gen, not allowed to use iCloud

    Hi all,
    I recently misplaced my iPod Touch 4th Gen, I have done this before and have successfully used find my iPhone to locate it. However, there appears to have been some sort of update, and Apple will no longer allow me access to iCloud unless I set it up on a OSX or IOS device, which, has been lost. (I do not have a MAC).
    Does anyone know of anyway that I can still use iCloud?
    Any help appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This is the error I get whenever I try to log in to iCloud.

  • I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music. Where did it go?

    I have an ipod touch 4th gen, installed the latest update to iOS 6 and have lost all my music, apps etc. It also linked up with an alternate email address???? Help!

    I have a similar issue happenning with my ipod touch 64GB running IOS 6.0.1.  My music content is stored via itunes on my Snow Leopard macbook pro as well (and not in the cloud).  The music on my ipod (which is sync'd to my macbook pro when I connect via usb) has randomly disappeared about 3 or 4 times lately, not during sync'ing and unrelated to battery charge levels. Fortunately I have been able to restore it by restarting my macbook pro then re-syncing the ipod, which it is now doing as I write, but it takes hours (for over 3000 songs).  Having looked at a few other forum discussion pages, it seems this may be a bug related to IOS 6 updates and using music/itunes and podcast playing apps. The same thing has intermittently occurred with some other content such as downloaded podcasts, iplayer content and photos. Once I reconnected the ipod it synced and apparently restored the content, but I can't understand why it lost it in the first place, and its very annoying. Lets hope the reinstalling works on my ipod tonight....up to 248 of 3326 songs syncing as I write....

  • I lost my iPod Touch 4th Gen. Find my iPhone application was not installed. Is there any way if I can find it or else I can lock the device so nobody uses it?

    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
