iOS 7 doesn't work on iPod touch 4g, so does the mean its the end for this device? Or are they going to make updates specially for lower devices an apps that are compatible ??

Which apps remain compatible will be up to the individual developers who sell those apps. There will be no further iOS updates, but those aren't really necessary to continue to use and enjoy your device. I still have an iPad 1 running on iOS 5, and it is fully functional.
The App Store has an app called VintApps 3.1.1 that is specifically geared toward iOS 3.1, however, you would probably be able to run most of those apps on your iPod, and considering that there will be a rather large market for iOS 6 apps users, it is not likely that you will see a significant reduction in choices any time soon.
It is not the end for the device in any sense except that it is at it's ultimate iOS level. And again, I have an iPad that is at it's ultimate iOS level (iOS 5), and I get new apps all the time that work for both my iPad and my iPhone that runs iOS 6.1.1
No need to fret....
Cheers,
GB

  • I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    I have a second generation ipod touch, why won't the ios 5 and ios 4.3 work on ipod touch 2g?

    Wel your "answer" provides not only a bad comparison, but is disingenuous at its heart!
    Apple sold a product (8GB iPod Touch) that one could have assumed to be 3rd generation at the time of purchase (because that was what all the other models of iPod Touch were at the time). Then when ios 4.3 came out, we who purchased one of these units found out that the 8GB Touch was really a 2nd generation model, and it would not ever be updated beyond ios 4.2.1 (8C148). Since the version (4.2.1) is BUGGY, it would be in the best interest of Apple to at least provide a bug-fix update release for these units. It is not like we are asking for all the new features of ios 4.3, just fix the BUGS, please, Apple!

  • IPhoto doesn't work on iPod Touch

    Hi there,
    On my iPad 2, I bought iPhoto. But I can't find it on my iTouch.
    Can it work on iPod Touches? When I went to "Purchased" in the App Store, I saw iPhoto, but when I clicked on its little cloud to download it, I got a notification saying it doesn't work on my iTouch, and I need a "digital compass"? I have no clue what that means.

    The requirments say:
    Requirements: Compatible with iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPad 2 Wi-Fi, iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iPad (3rd generation) and iPad Wi-Fi + 4G.Requires iOS 5.1 or later
    Note, the iPod touch is not included.

  • My password doesn't work on ipod touch

    i set a password on my ipod touch and it wont let me in

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod inRecovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.

  • HT201406 in scientific calculator mode the 7 8 9 numbers/area doesn't work on ipod touch, how can I rectify this?

    The screen is not touch sensitive in the area covered by the 7 8 9 numbers when the ipod is in the horizontal (in scientific calculator orientation) - the rest of the screen is fine. But because of the ares affected I cannot even log on to internet as the password needed has the letters in the affected area!! Frustrating!!
    Any idea how to correct this - in simple terms please as I am not very technical at all!!
    There are no physical marks or scratches on the screen in the area affected.

    Try the following:
    - A reset. 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Belkin stereo doesn't work on iPod Touch 2g??!!

    Hi,
    I just bought that little Belkin stereo attachment for audio recording using my iPod Touch 2g, but it doesn't seem to work! Or at least I don't know how. The manaul for the stereo only has directions for using it on iPod nano 2g, iPod nano 3g, iPod 5g, and iPod classic! What the heck?!! I asked the clerk at Apple Store whether there's a stereo attachment for my iPod Touch, and this was what he gave me.
    The last day for me to return this thing is Thursday, so can someone please help me out. I'll call the place tomorrow but for now, does anyone know if these 2 devices are compatible?
    Thanks a lot!

    Why don't you try contacting Belkin - as they make the device, they would be the obvious people to ask for a definitive answer. You'll probably find Belkin's contact details, web address etc. on the box, or in the instructions.
    However, if the manual doesn't mention the iPod touch, that suggests its only compatible with the iPods they have listed.
    If it is this product that you have bought:
    http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=277661
    then as it says on the web-site, it is only for iPod nano 2nd generation & iPod 5th generation (video). Belkin don't make a microphone compatible with iPod touch according to their website.

  • Lloydstsb Internet banking doesn't work on iPod touch safari

    have just set up and tested my iPod touch with my favourite sites, and all was well until I tried my Internet banking. If you try and log into www.lloydstsb.com Internet banking, you are just constantly redirected to the original signin page with no errors. I have turned on the debug option in safari, and do see 2 HTML missing tag errors when I try to log in, but this site works perfectly on safari for Mac and pc. There doesn't appear to be a "report bugs to apple" link in safari either, even with the debug output turned on. Has anyone else had this issue? I presume this issue will be present on the iPhone too.

    Thanks guys
    I am pretty sure the issue isn't with my bank. If you just go to www.lloydstsb.com and choose to log into personal banking, then hit the continue button under the login box (without entering any username or password) it will just reload the same login page. In any other. On a mac or a pc it will give you an error that you entered invalid details. I think it's an issue with safari on the touch.
    Is the product feedback page really the only way to raise this specific bug with them? I upgraded my tomtom firmware the other day, and it had a bug on my particular hardware. I hit the tomtom site, support area, phone number, then called them in the I'm and they were able to advise me that this was a known issue and could talk me through fixing it. That's what I call customer service, and this was on a 3 year old £70 piece of hardware. I aparently am allowed to raise only 1 support call within 90 days of my purchase, and that's it. I don't want to waste it on this one bug.

  • Remote on apple earphones doesn't work with iPod Touch 4G :(

    Hi I have two in-ear earphones, the Apple one and the V-Moda RRMT, the one with the remote similar to Apple's. I've heard volume control works with iPhone 3GS, and have tried both earphones in iPad and they both work. Recently I bought an iPod Touch 4 and found that the volume control of Apple works while V-Moda's doesn't. Since both earphones (presumably) uses the same tech to control the volume, my current thinking is there may just be a problem with the way I'm plugging in the V-Moda earphone. I've tried reseating it several times and I still haven't been able to resolve this issue.
    After scouring the google and the v-moda site, I still couldn't find any definitive confirmation that iPod Touch 4 doesn't support V-Moda's volume control. I'd like to know if V-Moda's volume control is compatible with iPod Touch 4 or not, and also the possible reasons why they don't work together.
    I was looking at the earphone jack earlier and I found that regular earphone jacks only have 2 bands, while earphones that connect to iOS devices have 3 bands, so I'm guessing the 3rd band is what Apple uses for all of the extra functionalities such as Mic, Play-Pause-Talk, and Volume Control. Upon further inspection I saw that the 3rd band is not wholly covered in iPod Touch 4, could it be that the input signal coming from the V-Moda remote isn't strong enough to be received by the earphone jack of iPod touch because it doesn't fully encircle the third band? Any clarification on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried turning your iPod off and back on? My son wasn't able to see the AirPlay icon until he did that. He has a 4G Touch and I have a 3G, but we still don't have AirPlay working correctly. It connects and disconnects randomly, but we are able to see the icon most of the time.

  • Counter doesn't work on iPod Touch

    I have this issue with my iPod Touch (January 08 Upgrade): My iPod doesn't recognize and count when I listen to something. e.g. I have an audiobook, with 40 tracks. After I listened to each and everyone of them (up to the end), and connecting the iPod to the Mac, the counter in iTunes still shows 0.
    Why is that so? Because of that all the Intelligent Playlists don't update themselves on the iPod. In addition to that, if I change thenumber of stars of a track, it doesn't show up in my playlist with tracks with only 5 stars...
    Anyone got an idea?
    Thanks

    No, I'm automatically syncing the two libraries.
    So I'm gonne try reinstall iTunes... Does it loose all the counters, stats etc, if you reinstall it?
    Personally I don't think that the problem is with iTunes, because I have an iPod 5th Gen, that works perfectly with iTunes, counter and everything...
