IPod 4th gen messed up from ios6 update

I tried updating my 4th gen ipod touch the other day. In the middle of the update it went into recovery mode, so i tried plugging it into itunes and restoring it. in the middle of this, it went to the apple screen and is frozen. it keeps restarting and itunes wont recognize it. ive tried restoring it like 3 times.. help?

argh, i was gonna say thank god i aint alone, but then i realised you guys probably still havent resolved the issues. iv got a 4th generation ipod as well. its been fine and then like a month ago songs started skipping by themselves and then the ipod would randomly freeze. its gotten to the point now that songs hardly ever play and now i get the folder and exclamation mark logo coming up! i have tried all the "r" rule things except for the last one. my ipod is no longer recognised on my pc or my laptop either as a storage device or in itunes. each time i plug it into my pc or laptop, the ipod updater, used to restore everything reads "initializing" but freezes so i can't even restore the **** thing. hence havnt got anywhere. what should i do now?
ps as far as im aware i have kept up to date with both ipod and itunes software. if this problem is caused because of apple software then why are we having to suffer?

my ipod 4th gen which i got from a friend is permanently disabled and when i try to restore it, it starts to restore it then my ipod goes off the "connect to itunes" screen and turns on by itself and doesnt restore i need to know how to fix this problem??
does anyone have any solutions?

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 another cable
- 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 do I get FaceTime on my iPod 4th gen I have done a update but still don't have it any ideas

How do I get FaceTime on my iPod 4th generation I have done a up date but its still not there can anyone help please

Assuming you sync your iPod Touch to iTunes on your personal computer, you can do a few tricks via iTunes.
Download the podcasts to iTunes on your personal computer.
Move them into a Playlist.
Select all the podcasts in the Playlist and Get Info (Command-I)
You will get a dialog with an "Options" tab.
Under Options change the "Media Kind" from "Podcast" to "Music"
Now in iTunes, arrange to sync that playlist to your iPod Touch.
After you sync with iTunes, you will have a playlist on your iPod Touch that is your podcasts that can be played just like a music playlist, one podcast after another will be played in the order they are arranged in the playlist.
NOTE: If you DO NOT normally sync with iTunes on your personal computer, then be aware that the first sync generally erases the stuff on your iPod Touch, so do not do this without thinking about it.
NOTE 2: When you change the podcast Media Kind to "Music" the podcast will move from the iTunes "Podcast" list to the "Music" list. When it is time to refresh the playlist with new podcasts, it is best to reverse the Media Kind back to Podcast so the old podcasts are not now sitting in your iTunes Music section.
Yes this is a pain to do, but it is also a way to get a random selection of podcasts to play one after another without your needing to mess with your iPod Touch. Very good for long driving trips where you cannot take your hands off the wheel to mess with your iPod Touch.

Ipod 4th gen affected by ios6

i have had my ipod 4th gen for 11 months and recently it had started to play up and so i went to the apple store who agreed and replaced it with a new one which i was unable to pick up until the day after the launch of the new iphone as they had run out of stock. when i went home with my new ipod and it installed the ios6 and i started having problems straight away, i could not access my game centre via my user name and login details, the app store was also giving me problems where it would log me out every time i would try and view a app that i was interested in. the ipod was also running extremely slow and so i went back to the store on monday this week 3 days after new launch. they agreed that there was a problem and replaced it with another new ipod 4th gen and so i went home again and found that i still could not access the game centre and the app store was shutting back to home screen every time. i then went back to the store againg on tuesday and the guy who i had my appointment with i started to go through this issue with the game centre and he said that it is probably needs to be restored to factory settings and i said that i had the issue with the app store and he said well the appointment is only for 10 minutes. i said that i have been in 4 times in 8 days and cannot afford to keep on coming in to the city every day and so he ended up helping by restoring back to factory settings which then allowed a app that was featured to download succesfully so he figured that the problems had been fixed. when i got home i discovered that the issue was still there and have also found that there is an issue with internet connection saying not connected when it is connected, unable to send imessages to previous contact and also the battery life has become extremely poor and has needed charging twice a day at least where as i was previously able to go through the whole day with only needing to charge overnight.
now i here that there are similar issues with the new iphone and ios6 and am wondering what i can do as this is so annoying and not good enough as i now only have a further 90 day warranty which could mean i could end up with a useless ipod which has been corrupt since the changeover from my 11 month old ipod

I solved it myself by dropping the iPod repeatedly, from a height of about 2 feet. I just hit it hard against a flat surface whenever the hard drive starts giving me the Click of Death. As crazy as this sounds, it's kept the thing running!

How do I update ipod 4th gen to ios 7 to use aple tv?

Received an aple tv device for christmas. It says it can be used with ipod 4th gen or laterf but I can't update the ios on the ipod to ios7. Please help!

Apple TV only works with bluetooth keyboards, the pairing with IOS is only for setup purposes and requires 5th gen iPod Touch anyway.
You can use basic airplay to stream content through apps (if the developer has enabled it)

I downloaded music to my ipod (4th gen) from my computer but it was mp3 format. It shows that the music is in there but I can not play it. It seems to be in there as a file but not as music.

I downloaded music from my computer to my ipod (4th gen) but I can not listen to it. It shows that it is on there as files but not music is this because the music was format for a mp3. How do I convert it to play on the ipod or move it to the music file?

The iPod can play MP3 files, so that's not the problem.
It sounds like you're accessing the iPod as a disk drive, and copying files in Windows Explorer.
This is not the way to put music on your iPod. You have to install iTunes on your computer, and put your music in iTunes. Then you can use iTunes to select the music you want on your iPod.

My Ipod 4th gen. will not update. Download will not complete. Help!

In the past i have had no problems updating my ipod touch 4th gen but recently i cannot update it. I will click update and the loading bar will load all the way, then it will say that it is processing the file. It will say this for a minute or 2 and then give me an error code: 3259 telling me to check my network connection (which works perfect) or try again later. I have tryed reseting my ipod, i cannot restore my ipod because it wants to update it and then restore it. I have not been able to update for over a month and i have missed 2 updates due to this problem. What do i do?

How much it costs depends on who you have replace the battery whether that be Apple or a 3rd party repair company. Here are Apple's prices.

It would likely be much cheaper to have a 3rd party company do it instead. One company I have heard a lot of good things about is iResq. For others, do a simple Google search for "iPod battery repair" and you should get a plethora of results.

I don't believe Radio Shack does offer that service. Sorry.

Ipod 4th gen does not play music from list automatically. just plays one and repeats it.

ipod 4th gen does not play from list automatically. it just plays one at a time and then repeats it until i select another.
how do i set it to play all on playlist?

On the left side of the Now Playing screen right below the scrubber bar is the repeat control. It is the arrowed racetrack icon. Tap the icon until it is white for no repeat.

I updated to ios 6 on my iPod touch earlier and had the same issue. I think iCloud has been backing mine up though. I freaked out because all 500 of my photos were gone and my stupid self didnt do a back up... But then they all reappeared :..) Maybe i just got lucky? Good luck though..

Will the iPod 4th gen receive any further updates since it cannot have IOS 7.

Will the iPod 4th gen receive any further updates since it cannot have IOS 7.
Just to keep the existing software updated and running correctly without crashing.
My concern now is that as new games/apps come out i am going to get a lot more NOT SUPPORTED messages popping up.
Frankly I don't think it's fair as I spent a lot of money on my 32gb iPod and apple are now conning existing customers to line their pockets !!!!

I would not expect any more update for an iOS compatible with the 4G iPod.
