IPod Touch 3G 64GB issues with iOS 5

With my iPod Touch 3rd generation 64 GB, the amount of gigs has dropped at least 2-3 since upgrading to iOS 5. Maybe it's just that much bigger, but I can't see how it could be. Additionally, browsing through music is extremely slow. Also, all the artists names are out of whack (showing up under different letters) or not being shown at all (I have to search to find bands I've added). Also, the playlists are not updating correctly when syncing with iTunes. This may be the worst update I've seen from Apple - it's ridiculous that I bought this iPod to use for music and they completely screwed that whole function up so I can "Message" people instead. Go figure.

When you connect to iTunes, how much of the storage is shown as "other"?  Some users have had files corrupted during the upgrade and put in the "other" category.  To get the other down to its normal, about 1/2 GB, you need to retore your iPod.  A restore from bckup works if the other is not in yur backup.  To prevent the backup from now containing th other when you connect to retore, make sure tha auto-syncing upon connecting is turned off. (iTunes>Prfeences>Devices>check box that says Prevents iPods... Syncing.

  • IPod touch 4G battery issue with iOs5...battery goes dry in less than a day after upgrading to iOs 5...why is that?

    hi people out there...!
    I have an iPod Touch 4G purchased on november 2010, and since then until two days ago, I had iOs 4.3.x and everything went very good about battery charge...I used to have my iPod on standby mode for several days, and never had a trouble with it...
    but two days ago, I upgraded to iOs 5, and then and there, the troubles began...my battery lasts no more than a day, even on standby mode...
    NO wifi on, NO bluetooth on, no movies watched, no games played, just using Virtuoso Piano free app for minutes...
    is the new iOs 5 having trouble about managing battery?
    anyone of you have same trouble?
    anyone of you know about a solution?
    I was searching on the web about this issue, and several comments I've found out, but I would like to know about it from the Apple themselves...
    thanks for your time people...Light to all of us...!!!

    Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon.  The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
    Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight.  Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A."  The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC.  Do NOT use an iPhone charger.  Do NOT use an iPod charger.  Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear).  An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
    I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem.  I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
    According to Apple:
    Use Your iPad Regularly
    For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
    Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
    I'm not saying that you don't have a problem.  However, I am saying that we don't know.

  • IPod touch 5 lag issue running iOS 8.1 ( PLEASE RESOLVE THIS ASAP)

    OMG, i'm just fed up of using this iPod 5 after this new update of apple's iOS 8.1.  I did checkout iOS 8.1.1 but as it bought no changes to the performance i just downgraded it back to iOS 8.1. Well performance really matters on a device. The day i updated it to iOS 8, my iPod 5's performance has been sluggish and worse when compared to the old iOS 7.1.2 . If i had chance to downgrade it now i would do it asap but unfortunately there isn't any way but to suffer with this new sluggish iOS 8.1. If there is someway that apple can help us then its by increasing the performance on such A5 devices like iPhone 4S, iPad..., iPod touch 5, then please help us. If i ask this question "Is there anyway to increase or speed up my performance of my iPod 5", Then the reply from you people would be to either buy a new device by dumping this or to remove background apps,reduce motion etc. (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY DONE.) and the performance is WORSE or UNBEARABLE  on this device after updating to iOS 8 - iOS 8.1. When i just tap settings it takes about 3 - 4 secs or more to show up which is too bad. Please try to solve this issue on older devices running A5 chip by either giving us an another opportunity to downgrade to iOS 6 or 7 (PLEASE) or by improving this current OS performance issue just like iOS 7. I request you to solve this issues for the people like us who are an APPLE fan and still using devices running A5 chip and we just like it so much but please don't let us hate it by making it's performance worse. Yes, i do know that the all new iOS 8 was made for the newer devices running new CHIP, but then why did the update just come up for devices running A5 chip then if it would ruin the performance? Or was this is a marketing strategy to make our device's performance unbearable and worse so we hate it and buy a new device so you can increase your sales? Everyone cannot afford a device just like that as time goes. I further pledge you people to solve this sluggish performance issue on these older device who got this iOS 8 updates (RUNNING A5 chip).
    Thank You for your time for reading my message.

  • Brand new iPod touch did not come with iOS 8

    Just got a new 16 GB 5th Generation iPod touch.  Not only does it not have iOS 8, I cannot get it to update from 7.1.2.  Why is Apple advertising the latest iOS on these devices but selling them with an older operating system?  Did they actually sell me an older iPod?

    iOS 8 was released on September 17, 2014. It is possible that you got one that was manufactured prior to that time. They don't go back and unbox them all and upgrade them. Similar thing happened to me with a MacBook Air that I bought shortly after an operating system was released. It should however be easily updated. You may be able to get help with that issue here or from Apple support or return it if still in the return period.

    I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
    THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.

    You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.
