I really need some help!!! ipod touch 4th gen 8g help needed
my ipod touch 4th gen wont let me turn on it's wifi, use video camera(although i can take pics with both cameras), play music/ no sound or bluetooth, it was dropped into a toilet a long time ago, and i dont have the money to buy new parts, plus its a hand-me-down... any suggestions, i noticed that the motherboard had some corrosion near the wifi antenna's solder location so i wiped it off, and cleaned everything with a dry napkin but i think there are some capaceters ruined. i put it back together and that didnt help. also the wifi is greyed out, there is no internet status bars whatsoever. its not slow, and the apps work just fine. please please help, i've been wanting an ipod for over two years now, and i finally got it, just not the way i wanted it... HELP!
could it be possible its only the motherboard that needs replacing, i'm good with tech' but i dont quite understand the ipod yet

My Ipod touch (4th generation) froze in the "Connect to Itunes" screen, while updating to the latest OS. Neither resetting (hoding on/of and front button), connecting to Itunes or draining the battery (tried that twice) changes anything. Is there anyone with an REAL answer (already read all the forums I could find).
Check to see if you tried all the following. I think you have
- 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.

I have a few scratches on my iPod touch 4th gen screen and it really bothers me and I need a way to fix it without replacing the screen or causing further damage
Hey Pandorafromtn, Not to rub salt in you open wounds, but prevention would have cost less than $10! Anything that will remove the scratches will most likely ruin the screen. I am aware of a product that works well for fill scratches in eyeglasses. It paints on, is kind of milky semi-transparent then drys to a haze. You then rub / polish until clear. Will it damage the coating on an iPod screen? I don't know. But may be for not, I can't remember the name of the stuff. I guess contact a eye care center, they may be able to help. Replacing the screen would be the best option you have or learn to live with it. In the future use a case and/or screen protector. Or you could start working on your incantations, "Oculus Repairus!" Don't forget the flick of the wrist to get your wand in the correct angle as you state "Repairus". All joking aside, Good luck. Cheers.

My beats by dre earbuds won't work on my iPod touch 4th gen but on my iPad, I need help :/
Do other earphones work on the iPod?
If not then
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R".
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

Hey Babetta94,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, the iPod is not recognized in iTunes. A frustrating situation to be sure. You haven't mentioned what OS the computer you are using uses. You can choose what article to use either OS X or Windows from this quoted section.

If you have an iPod touch:
For Windows: See iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
For Mac OS X: See iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Have a nice day,

Need help with my ipod touch 4th gen
My name is whitney last year i bought a ipod touch 4th gen . And everything was working fine until i had recently updated it to ios 5.0.1 . Ihave internet connection and can view the browser but when i try to view the app store it either keeps loading the page, or it says cannot connect to itunes store or the browser has timed out . I am getting very frustrated about this as last month my ipod was working fine with everything until i had updated it and had to restore it and the problem still persists. And it wont let me verify my icloud account either it also times out and says verfification failed . If anyone out there can help me out i would appreciate it .
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes." -

Restart your iOS device.
Tap Settings > Wi-Fi and locate the Wi-Fi network to which you're connected.
Tap and Forget this Network.
Try to connect to your desired Wi-Fi network.
Note: You may need to enter your Wi-Fi password again if your network requires one.
Turn your Wi-Fi router off and on2. If your ISP also provides cable or phone service, check with them before attempting this step to avoid interruption of service.

HELP... Ipod Touch 4th Gen - wont restore
Hi,first time posting in the form and desperate for some help. I purchased the Ipod touch 4th gen for my 12 yr old daughter for Christmas 2010, it's work great until last night when I connect it to my PC to download the lastest updates. During the restoring process it gives me the message "The ipod "ipod" could not be restored. An unknown error occured (9)" Each time I connect my ipod to my PC it tells me "you must restore this ipod before it can be used with iTunes." I hit recovery and it goes through the recovery part to verify the ipod restore, but when it gets to the last step it gives the unknown error message again. It's a vicious loop of dissappointments each time I try to restore it. I've search the internet and tried almost everything and nothing seems to work. If anyone else has experience this and resolved this issue please let me know.
Yes, unfortunately I've tried that several times and other suggestions mentioned in this form but none seem to work for me. I'm really at a lost because its always updated great with no problems until I was request to update to the 4.3.2 version. PLEASE HELP!

i recently purchased an in app purchase which is showing up on my itunes account as a purchased but has not shown up on my ipod touch 4th gen. (think it was due to losing my wifi connection during download).
i went into problem solving on the itunes store to rectify the issue to discover that i needed to go via my app store on my ipod to purchase history, which on the ipod touch 4th gen is supposidly at the bottom of downloads... after trying this i discovered that i have no option to go into purchases as this does not exist on my downloads options nor does it exist anywhere on my ipod version of the app store?? can someone please help?? im miffed. :sThanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply.
I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago. I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam. I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase.
Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions. Could you please explain?
I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items. -
hello, i have an iBook G4 which is old, it has an OS of 10.4.11 which is called tiger i think, forgive me im new to apple,
it has a version of itunes installed (9.2) which worked fine with my 1st gen ipod touch but ive upgraded to a 4th gen ipod touch and now my itunes version is no longer compatible, the problem is that because my os is out of date i cant install the current version of itunes so i think i need to upgrade my OS.
Like i say im quite new to apple so any help or information would be greatly appreciated. thank youAs Niel has suggested Mac OS X 10.5 Lepaord.
But first of all make sure that your iBook is above 800Mhz and you have at least 512 Meg of memory. (1 GB recommended)
Please note, that if you do install Mac OS X 10.5 on your iBook, it will not allow you to install the latest version of iTunes version 11. The most recent version of iTunes that can be installed would be 10.5, which will be compatible with your iPod touch 4th gen, provided it's not been updated to iOS 6.
Sadly you can't install any version of Mac OS X above 10.5 Leopard, as it they requires an Intel processor, which your iBook G4 does not have.
Hope this helps. -
