Ipod on iOS 6.1 slow

After the upgrade to the 'improved' iOS my iPod touch(4th gen) is very very very very slow. My music was lost after the upgrade, the songs simply get stucked and freezed, I had to re upload all my music and now, once you are in the Music app, to make the transition from the Artist tab to the Songs tab the iPod is too slow. Once you are in a specific Artist for entering in its Albums the iPod remains reading a lot of time...
I am desperated.....HELP ME PLEASE!!!

Does the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g ?

I think the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g

If you are a developer using iOS 8, you need to move this discussion to the Developer Forum.
Otherwise, iOS 8 has not been released and is not available for discussion yet.

IPod Touch 4 is very slow on iOS 5.1

My iPod Touch 4G is very slow on iOS 5.1. I don't want to downgrade to iOS 4XXX. Apple must do something on that. I don't think it is because of the 256MB ram. Because my iPhone 3GS have also 256MB and iOS 5.1 run very smooth and is fast. Why is iOS 5.1 on the iPod touch so terrible?

My iPod Touch 4G is very slow on iOS 6.1.1 I want to downgrade to iOS 5.1. I was running smoothly when it was in ios 5.1 but when i updated it to iOS 6, it slowed down and i close all the apps properly.

IPod Touch, iOS 4.0 Update, Error 9, Error 20, Slow Sync, Sync Problems

After wasting a week troubleshooting several problems with two iPod Touch 2Gs, I have come to this conclusion. If everything is working correctly on your iPod Touch under iOS 3.1.x, *DO NOT UPDATE TO VERSION 4.0*!!! Apple will not take any responsibility for the problems it causes (though technical support will assist if your product is under warranty), nor compensate you for the time, money, and gas expended in diagnosing and finding a work around to THEIR problem. And, after reading many blogs, boards, and forums, I am not the only one experiencing problems with their software. Anyway, here are the problems I encountered with resolutions.
I tend to keep my computers very “CLEAN” and “ORGANIZED”. This was my configuration when EVERYTHING worked correctly (with a separate user account for each iPod Touch):
Acer Aspire One
Windows XP SP3
CA Internet Security Suite 2010
iTunes 9.2.1.4
iPod Touch 2G iOS 3.1.x
After receiving a notification to update the iPods to iOS 4.0 for a couple of months, I finally decided to “upgrade”. Everything seemed okay…download, extraction, installation, restore…until the final sync stage when it “froze” and eventually encountered an “iPod could not be restored…unknown error occurred (9)” error. This signifies that there is something wrong with the USB connection…it never had a problem before. Anyway, I followed the recommended resolutions which did not work. Finally had to “upgrade” the older iPod Touch to iOS 4.0 on my HP/Vista/Norton laptop, which ran the same version of iTunes. The “upgrade” was successful, so I performed the same routine on the newer iPod Touch, which was also successful. Unfortunately, once you “upgrade” to iOS 4.0, you cannot go back to iOS 3.1.x unless you jailbreak your iPod Touch…which voids the warranty!
The next problem I encountered occurred when I tried to sync either iPod Touch to the Acer netbook. The older iPod had an “iPod cannot be synced…device timed out” error, while the newer iPod took almost 30 minutes to complete…and there was nothing to sync since everything was unchecked. Various testing combinations revealed that it would start okay, backup okay, sync apps and contacts okay, but “freeze” in the final sync stage. Apple technical support could not help since they repeated everything I already performed, and were stupefied! The local Apple Store (which is on the other side of the island from me) couldn’t help either, though the technician there mentioned that he did see a lot of strange issues with netbooks and iPods. After various trial and error combinations, I finally found something that would work. Boot the Acer, log on, DISABLE THE WIRELESS LAN, start iTunes, connect the iPod Touch, then ENABLE THE WIRELESS LAN…sync works. If you disconnect the iPod or exit out of iTunes, you’ll need to DISABLE THE WIRELESS LAN before starting iTunes and connecting the iPod again. Talk about pain in the rear!!!
Well, I thought my troubles were over, but, iOS 4.0 is very creative at causing more. I finally got around to syncing my music, when what would happen…another “freeze”. This time, it would “freeze” when transferring my music from iTunes to the iPod, and eventually error with “iTunes could not copy…unknown error occurred (-20)”. Connecting all USB devices before booting computer, deleting all iPod backups, restarting all iPod/iTunes services, disabling firewall and snoozing AV protection…nothing worked. So, I finally uninstalled the CA Internet Security Suite, and I was then able to sync music from iTunes to the iPod. As a test, I reinstalled the CA Internet Security Suite, and synced the iPod using the process mentioned in the paragraph above. And it works…as long as I’m only syncing and not TRANSFERRING MUSIC FILES!
I have not tried any other combination such as transferring apps or music from the iPod to iTunes, or syncing movies, TV shows, podcasts, etc. At this stage, I’m too busy, too tired, and brain damaged to troubleshoot further problems. But, I did notice one thing each problem had in common. It would “freeze” around the Bonjour process, which seemed to attempt network access. According to Apple technicians, the sync process should not access the network at all.
Hope this helps those of you who are stuck at the various stages mentioned. If you have further information about Bonjour or any other problem I mentioned, please leave a comment. And for Apple, *ADMIT THE PROBLEM WITH iOS 4.0, AND FIX IT*!!!

Should I update my iPod to iOS 8?

The day I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 8, it started working very slow. So, I'm scared to update my iPod touch 5th generation 32 GB because I don't want it's speed to decrease. How do iOS 8 performs with iPod touch. Is it slow or fast?

Hey Tom and Jerry, Not that matters, the decision is yours, but I have not updated. Many have reported slow or laggy response, apps closing, missing music, apps, photos etc. very poor battery life, as little as 1 to 2 hours on a full charge (Note; they did not say what they were doing). iPods turning off unexpectedly, and various charging issues. Many of the new features will only work with iPhone, require hardware the iPod simply does not have. Some have stated people working at Apple stores have told them that iOS 8 should not have been made for the iPod 5! With this said, many others have not report anything, either because there iPods work OK, or they don't know where to go to report a problem and are willing to live with it. And remember, once you move to the new iOS, you cannot go back. Personally, I'm resisting the move to iOS 8 for as long as I can. Hope this helps. Cheers.

Update my Ipod at iOS 5... Great mistake!

Hello - "My Ipod Touch 4 is so SLOW"
I hope the people of apple can change quickly this IOS 5, is really regular, since I updated my Ipod touch 4g, is so slow and I can't play some songs. I'm a little dissapointed about this "New level"
Anyway I should tell that some things looks very good, like reminders, the sync by wifi, the notifications, the messages..
Ps. I tried by many ways and the problem continue!
Well I hope a answer about these problems!!
Thanks

According to the requirements it appears you may be able to run it if you don't have the 8GB version.
The 8GB version was actually a snazzed up second gen with newer iOS software.
If it doesn't see it, the hardware probably doesn't support it.
First make sure you've updated iTunes, then check it again, and if it doesn't show, it probably won't run on it due to the hardware being too slow to handle it.

My iPod Touch 4G is extremely slow.

So my iPod Touch 4G is super slow. I have restored it twice already. I have uninstalled any apps that I fear would slow down my iPod. I make sure that there are either very few or no apps running in the background while using it. It is not jailbroken. I have to turn it on and off 3 times a day and it still has very little effect. Not sure if this is a fixable problem but other people's solutions are not helping me. HELP!!

my 4g runs faster with iOS5. But then again I have turned of lots of options that I don't like or don't use .
If in doubt you can do a clean restore by wiping the complete ipod - enter DFU mode and connect to itunes, that's how I installed my iOS5.
Also it is very important to only have compatible apps installed and also to manage the settings for all the apps. In fact most iOS devices start slowing down if too many apps are running in the background, always close them properly. The ipod has only 256MB of memory, only half of what the iphone has , although the rest of the hardware is nearly identical ( except for the camera ).

You cannot update it if you can't get the latest version of iTunes. Actually, the latest version of iTunes will run in XP if you have Service Pack 2. Also, you posted in the iPad forum, and your profile shows you have an iPad, but in your post, you say it is an iPod. Is it an iPad or an iPod?

Selective use of iCloud with multiple laptops, multiple iPods and iOS devices?

I haven't brought my MBP13 to Lion yet. I do have an MBA that runs Lion.   I have hesitated to take the MBP to Lion and set up iCloud because I just don't understand what the options are for selective "sync" of various sorts of data among one or more Macs, their iPods and iOS devices.   The material I can find so far does not in any way make it clear to me in advance what sort of selectivity will be offered if I turn on iCloud.
Aside from that my DSL connection does not offer a stellar download rate, and I live in a dead zone for cellular signals, so I do not operate in an "always on" state.   I turn on my laptop's WiFi or plug in an ethernet cable a few times a day and similarly might turn on a mobile device a few times.   Past that, I'm offline. I've lived like that with my Apple gear for 30 years and that's just how it is for people in rural areas of the USA.
All or most of my so-called "syncs" are the manual sort. I pick out what info I want on any device and drag it there after connecting the devices. If something I want on a mobile device can't be dragged there, or the alternative dread "sync" doesn't offer enough selectivity, I just settle for not having whatever that item is on whatever that device is, assuming I can't figure out a way to hammer the system into letting me get it on there (like temporarily adding movies to my main library from a separate library and external drive, then drag to the iPad, then eject the iPad and delete the movie listings from the main library to reduce the clutter again).
So.    I don't keep ALL of my various types of data (mail, music, movies, notes, PDF files, app data) on ANY of my devices. I couldn't make them fit, and I wouldn't want them all on everything anyway.    I don't always even keep any mail setups on a particular mobile device. I might have one there for a particular time frame, say over a weekend, and then disable or delete it.   That works fine for me. I shudder to think what would happen if I had an iCloud setup and did that. I have visions of my entire mail setup on one of my laptops being deleted if I delete it from an iOS device...
Beyond unwanted deletion?   Unwanted addition!   The last thing on earth I would ever want to do is set up iCloud and then find out that it wants to stash hundreds of GB of movies, hundreds of PDFs, thousands of music tracks, etc., on, say, my original iPhone that I still use as a WiFi device and occasionally add a few tracks of music to, or change up its playlists. Not to mention what would happen if it tried to stash all my stuff on some unsuspecting little iPod touch used just for audiobooks.
I am afraid that iCloud will work like the dread "transfer purchases" thing works now. The "transfer purchases" doesn't let me say WHAT purchases to transfer.   There's no way I want a movie I have managed to take from a secondary iTunes library onto an iPad transferred "back" to my iPhone or my MBA or to ANYTHING just because I turn some device I own in order to check the weather.   Maybe I never purchased that movie on the iPad. Just because it's not on the main library any more doesn't mean I want it to be there, either.
So how can find out ahead of time how iCloud is going to work for someone with lots of different types of data on several laptops where all the so-called "syncs" at present are as manual as I have been able to make them?
Or can someone just tell me hey you know what, iCloud is not designed for you, just don't go there.
Either way I'll be grateful for some help here. Sure I can clone my laptops and then back up all the iOS devices and copy those backups to externals, and then turn on iCloud and hammer on my stuff for two days to see what happens. But why should i do that if someone can say up front that iCloud is or is not set up for highly selective sync options?

iCloud does not sync movies or general files, so that problem doesn't arise.
iCloud will:
Sync Calendars
SyncSafari Bookmarks (though not display them on the iCloud website)
Sync Contacts
Sync photos added to or taken on one device onto other devices
Access @me.com email
Sync iWork documents only between your Mac and iOS5 devices - automatically from iOS devices by by dragging individual documents from a Mac to the iCloud website (and the cannot be re-downloaded until they have been edited on an iOS device)
Each of these can be turned on or off on each device; you cannot selectively sync within one data type - i.e. it's all or no Contacts, not a selection, and so on.

While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpcted error occured and now my ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer and all data has been removed. What can I do

While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?

- First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
- Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Next try DFU mode:

- Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
- If the other computer works and yours does not see:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

IPod Touch iOS 4.2.1, Mac OS 10.6.8. ICal will not sync after a restore of iPod Touch. What's up?

iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) second generation; Mac (OS 10.6.8). After a restore, the iCal no longer syncs, Contacts do not sync, etc. What gives?

Greetings,
Sounds like something is wrong with the sync history.
Troubleshooting:
1.) Backup all your data:
Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
If that does not resolve the issue, where is the information "good", on the iPod Touch or the computer and are you using MobileMe to sync or do you just plug in your usb cable.
Hope that helps.
