If I buy an I-pod touch 4th generation now for a gift next Christmas, will everything be fine with it?

I want to buy an I-pod touch for my child for a Christmas gift for next year.  If I buy it and store it, will everything be OK with the battery etc.
Thanks

No recommended since the battery wants to be used, not stored for eleven months or so. Storing it for 11 monts without using it can permentrly damage/shorten the life of the battery.
Use iPod Regularly
For proper maintenance of a lithium-based battery, it’s important to keep the electrons in it moving occasionally. Be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month. If you use your iPod infrequently (gasp), you might want to add a reminder to your calendar program.

    5 has hd FaceTime, 4 does not, 5 has 5x better camera with flash, 5 is faster, has bigger and better screen and has siri, 4 does not. Also, 5 comes in more colours and has wriststrap (also 5 comes with better earphone and has smaller, reversible and faster charging connector)

    No.  That type of profile is not supported by your iPod Touch. See this article for a list of profiles that are supported.

    If the newer version requires iOS 7 then you cannot update the app, but the old version will be retained.

  • I recently received an I Pod touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all my pictures that I have ever taken are now on my Ipod. How do I delete pictures that are not taken by the Ipod but were synced onto the ipod?

    Hi megan21,
    Connect your iPod to iTunes, click on your device, and then click on the "Photos" page. If you don't want any photos on your iPod, make sure the "Sync photos from [photo application]" checkbox is unchecked. Or, you could select specific photos in that page to sync to your iPod.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

  • Pod touch 4th Generation Problems?

    now on my 3rd iPod touch 4th Generation and still having the same problems! It's unresponsive to touch, apps crash, too slow, freezes, music skipping etc. I have been to the apple store twice and they've just replaced it and they are not sure why it is dong it :/ and now this new one has done the exact same thing! not sure if its to do with this generation, considering upgrading to the 5th Generation with my insurance if I can! anyone else expriencing this?

    Hi,
    Most of what I experienced as similar issues on 3rd and 4th iPod Gen was related to a lack of memory.  These devices only got 256Mo of RAM while only the 5th Gen get the 512 as the iPhones.  If you are running multiples high memory usage apps, it may explains your issues.
    Usually, closing all open apps from your start bar and restarting your iPod should improve a little.  If you want to do a test to know if what you are experiencing is related to lack of memory, your content being somehow corrupt or the device itself, try restoring your device to its factory setting and look if it work fine.
    Most apps that were crasing on my previous 4th gen iPod was games that was requiring a lot of RAM.  It seems that they are designed to take advantage of most today's iPhones hardware and kind of leaving the poor old iPod behind.  They all work fine on the 5th gen and I experience good responsiveness.

    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.

  • How can I get my I pod touch 4th generation unlocked?

    So I have forgottenn my i pod pasword and now it says, ' connect to itunes' that didnt work I plugged it into my laptop nothing happened. If i take it to the apple store will all my photos be erased thats the main reason why I want it unlocked.

    Yes, the iPod will have to be erased to regain use of your iPod
    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.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:                                                             
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
