I want a iPod touch 5th generation, but I have an iPad 2,

Is it worth it to buy the iPod 5th gen, when I have an iPad 2. No other devices.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    Hey Sierra, You can do just what you have stated. My question, what is your "other"? If it is over 1.5 GB you most likely have corrupt files. Doing a Restore to New, Factory restore should correct it. Just make sure you make a full backup of all information on your iPod to your computer before you restore, so you don't lose your stuff, contacts, videos, pictures, non-iTunes music, etc, use the cable and connect with your computer. Then, via cable, connect to your computer, run the Restore to new, don't use your backup. Treat this iPod as if it was your first one ever. When restore is done, set up and add what info you wish to install on this iPod. The music apps etc you purchased should be on your computer, if not you should be able to retrieve purchased apps and music from iTunes. Any music, videos, apps not purchased from iTunes will be lost to you if you do not save them to your computer or the cloud first. When your done, make a current Backup and you should good to go. Hope this helps. Good luck. Cheers.

  • Tried to send iMessage from iPod touch (5th generation) but continuously says "contact not registered with iMessage". The contact IS registered with iMessage, but won't send any messages to anyone.

    I have an iPod touch 5th generation (7.1.2) that has not been sending iMessages to other iMessage users. At first my iPod would not let me sign in to use iMessage, but I searched on different discussion boards that helped me log in. Now the trouble is not being able to send messages at all. I tried to delete the contact I was trying to message and restart the conversation board, but that didn't help at all. The contact continues to say 'xxxxxx not registered with iMessage" when, in fact, they are. I need help to resolve this issue.
    Thanks

    Can you receive Message?
    If so can you reply?
    Have you tried when connect to another network?

  • I have an ipod touch 5th generation but have 10.5.8 operating system, what operating system do i need?

    My daughter received a 5th Generation iPod touch for Christmas, the newer one with the lightning USB, but when I try to sync it to my Mac, it says that the Operating System isn't up to date. Its 10.5.8. Is my next option the Snow Leopard 10.6 or the Mountain Lion? We're thinking of getting iPhone 5's as well.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    A 5th generation iPod and an iPhone 5 need iTunes 11, that needs Mac OS X 10.6.8 or later.
    First, see if your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 if it's supported, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard Then, make a backup, insert the DVD and upgrade.
    After upgrading, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version. Maybe you will have to run Software Update again after updating to 10.6.8 in order to install iTunes 11.0.1. After that, you will be able to sync the iPod touch.
    If you want, you can upgrade to Mountain Lion > http://www.apple.com/osx/specs If your Mac is supported, open App Store and purchase Mountain Lion. Check if your programs are supported > http://www.roaringapps.com

    If you have any solutions, please leave some under this discussion.

  • Hey, I just bought an ipod touch 5th generation, but my lightning usb is not working anymore.

    It didn't got wet, neither is phisicaly damaged... the problem is i'm not from the US (where I bought it) so I can't use the warranty.

    Is it? okay well today I went to my capital city where there is an Apple Store, and they said the warranty is not international! I'm from Ecuador btw.
    I don't know what to do since no one I know is traveling to the US in the near future.

  • What do I have to do if I lost my IPod touch 5th generation which I have had only for 2months?

    Hi im an exchange student in wanganui. I bought this ipod when I first came to NZ this year in the beginning of February and I lost it by today at around 7 o'clock in Wellington.

    No app on the iPod is required.                            
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - 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.

  • Ipod touch 5th Generation restoring issue

    So my sister forgot her password to her Ipod touch 5th Generation, but when I try to restore it, it wants to take 9 hours to update the software first. Is there any way around that?  Any help is appreciated

    No. When you restore via iTunes the latest firmware is reinstalled. If the latest firmware is not already on the computer it has to be downloaded.

  • Is there a warranty for refurbished iPod touch 5th generation?

  • IPod Touch 5th generation front-facing camera has stopped working

    After updating to ios 7, my front-facing camera has stopped working on my ipod touch 5th generation. I have tried doing a full restore to factory settings, resetting data settings, turning it on and off, and all the basic things. Here are a few pictures:
    This is with the rear-facing camera, it works just fine.
    Now this is the front-facing camera:
    When i try to use the front-facing camera, the screen goes like this and the camera app freezes, i can't switch back to read camera or anything. Other applications like snapchat don't have a button to switch the camera.
    It's like the camera app is detecting that the version of ipod has a camera, but it can't seem to find it. Btw, i live in Australia and am an apple developer.
    I like srsly need to get my front camera working. Thanks
    I am also using iOS 7.1 beta.

    Likely a hardware problem as other has experienced the same problem
    - 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.             
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have an ipod touch 5th generation, bought a new laptop and authorised it. when i try to sync it says it's not possible because there isn't enough space to hold everything in the itunes library.it won't give me the option of choosing what i want to sync.

    I have an ipod touch 5th generation 64g . Just bought a new laptop and authorised it to use itunes library. When i try and sync my ipod it says it can't do it because there isn't enough space on my ipod to hold everything in the itunes library. I already know that i can't fit everything on my ipod but when using my old laptop i was able to choose what i wanted to sync. Now i don't seem to have the option of choosing what i can sync, it just refuses to do it as there isn't enough space. Why is this???

    Hello, peppertwist. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
