IPod 4th gen won't update!

okay so I've read a few discussions from people who have the same problem as me! its so annoying now, I've been trying to update my iPod to the new iOS 5 update but it refuses to update!
It finishes downloading the update then says an error has occured, the timed out one, it then tells me to check my network connectivity, I do so and it works perfectly.
I then turned ALL my secruity settings off and tried again. Still no luck.
help me??????

- Disabling the computer's security software during the dowload and update usually works.
- You can also try a direct download and install using these instructions.

Happy New Year and help Please!!! IPOD 4th GEN won't Synch??

Hello,
And, thanks for reading my question. I recently purchased an IPOD 4th GEN touch from Gamestop. I previously had an ipod that was stolen a few years ago. I had 2000 songs on my itunes and just haven't used it till now.
When I bought the IPOD I ensured that my itunes and ipod were using the most current software. However, it is not synching my music. It will let me start to synch and then go through steps 1&2 of a five step process before it tells me that itunes has encountered a problem and must shut down. There is no specific code it gives me it just asks whether I'd like to send an error report or not.
I have ensured my firewall was off. I restarted the IPOD and computer, and still nothing. Same error message and itunes shuts off. I have installed the latest updates to bonjour and quicktime, restarted, and still no remedy.
I was tempted to uninstall everything but am afraid of losing my music. Only 30-40 songs are in my icloud. I imported the other songs to itunes a long time ago.
Does anyone know how I can get these songs on my ipod? Thanks in advance for any help and Happy New Year to all...

You probably need to set up automatic syncing. If you do not set it up, it will still "sync" but it will sync nothing.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod so that you see its Summary settings screen (click the "device button" on horizontal bar). In the iPod's sidebar, under Settings, click Music. To the right is the iPod's Music settings screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync your iPod.
Check the box for Sync Music. This enables automatic syncing for songs. Below that, if your entire iTunes library fits on your iPod, you can choose the option to sync Entire music library.
Otherwise, you can choose to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres. Then, select what you want to sync from the lists below. On convenient way to set this up is to create one or more playlists in your iTunes library with songs just for the iPod. Or you can use existing playlists. On the iPod's Music settings screen, find and select (checkmark) just those playlists under Playlists.
When you click Apply, iTunes syncs your iPod with your selection(s) on the iPod's Music settings screen, and keeps it "in sync" automatically.

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.

My iPod 3rd gen won't update past 4.2.1

As stated, my 3rd gen iPod won't update past 4.2.1, is this the cap for iOS on 3rd gen, or can it go higher?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

My iPod 4th gen won't turn on

My moms iPod 4th generation 8 gb won't turn on. She was gone on a trip and it was low on battery and went dead so she plugged it in all night and the next morning it would not turn on. This was over a week ago I've plugged it In to a computer and nothing happened. I've tried holding the home and power button various times and nothing happened. I haven't tried resetting it yet but I will if I absolutely have too. Also she thinks maybe the wall pluggin wasn't working correctly? Any ideas? Please help me out. Also their is no apple store anywhere near me so that's not really an option. She doesn't have the newest iOS either it's 6 point something don't know exactly.

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.

IPod Touch (4th Gen) Won't Update Past iOS 6.1.6

I have an iPod Touch (4th Generation). I'm trying to connect to Family Share but it needs to be updated to iOS 8. My iPod is saying it's up-to-date at iOS 6.1.6.
I have tried updating directly from the iPod (Settings > General > Software Updates) and I've also connected it to my Mac OS X Yosemite / iTunes 12.01.126 with no luck. Nothing is recognizing that this device needs to be updated.
How can I update this iPod to iOS 8?

iOS 7 or iOS 8 isn't compatible with iPod Touch 4G

My iPod 4th Gen won't restore?

It's stuck in recovery mode and it won't connect to iTunes when I plug it into my laptop, and when it did, I waited for half an hour for it to update, then it came up with an error. I had to update to a different version and it wouldn't do it actually on the iPod, my iTunes is the latest version, too. What can I do?

Then I can't help, There are many different error messages and different solutions for each

My iPod 4th gen. won't charge or connect to iTunes,What do I do?

My iPod 4g hasn't been recongize by iTunes and it won't charge when it is pluged into my wall or pc.I'm struggling to find a way to fix it.
It has been like this since yesterday and nothing had changed.I plugged it into the wall also and still it won't charge.What should I do?I'm desperate for answers.

After charging for half an hour, reset the iPod and connect the iPod to the syncing computer and try to restore the iPod.
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.o
- If iTunes does not see the iPod, place the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore the iPOd. For recovery mode see:

IPod 4th gen won't boot

Just today my iPod finally stopped booting up completely. For the past few months, it'll freeze, make loud buzzing noise through the headphones, and sometimes take forever or won't boot at all. At first I thought it was caused by temperature because these problems only occured when I expose it to the cold Canadian weather, or leave it on my desk for a extended period of time. (Room isn't heated when it happens.)
However, now it won't start at all. It'll start hanging at the apple logo and nothing else happens. Even if I plug it into a computer, it won't go past the apple logo. So I put it into disk mode and everything seem to be detected. All my music, notes, data, everything was in order. But after you restart it, it still hangs. Therefore, I tried restoring it a few times and that doesn't seem to fix it. I even tried downgrading it back to 1.0.3 (the version pre-installed when I got it) with no such luck. Is it a firmware issue because all of this started after I upgraded it? From that point, things just started getting worse and worse.
I'm running on a PC. Any help will be appreciated!

Update, I left it on over night and it'll still show that connect to power logo when the battery is dead. So hardware wise, I think it's working cause it'll go into disk mode, the computer can read what's on the device. But it still can't get past the apple logo.
Please help!

Ipod 4th gen won't charge

My ipod won't charge and i tried a lot of chargers. I don't know if the charging port was messed around with. Help. It's dead.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
