IPOD touch 4 ios 5 what a dissapointment

after ordering a IPOD touch 4, before it was delivered after being delayed. Apple lowered the price and upgraded to iOS 5 and icloud. Now the iphone 4s is the same price as the IPOD touch 4 8gb.The iphone 4s has 32gb. I use smart playlists when listening to IPOD and is a feature that I use the most and like the best about the ipod and itunes. The smart playlists will not sync to the ipod 4 as the smartlist is set up in my itunes. This is a huge dissapointment. I have contacted support and they could not trouble shoot the issue succesfully. The playlist is correct when viewed when clicking on the playlist while the ipod is sync however is not listed that way on the IPOD. also if I'm using a smart playlist why would i want the shuffle feature at the top of the list. Can't believe this bugged issue wasn't resolved before they launched this ios 5. also all the suggestions listed in the forums have not worked. This shouldn't be this difficult. I suppose I will just return it and go back to my Ipod 5th generation.

Had that problem. I realised my iPod is on 24/7. So I've started shutting it down and turning it back up at least once a week, or twice a week. Being this an improvement, but not enough, I've discovered I have tons of app in "inactive" state (e.i. in the multitasking bar) and as a dev I know this apps, though most of them dont take any CPU, they do take RAM, thus allowing to be switched to in a fast and straightforward way. As nice a feature as it is, if you have 30 apps or so there, having only 256MB of RAM, you are bound to some slowing down, partly being iOS 5 takes more RAM than iOS 4. So my advice is: Turn it on and off once a week, or twice a month, whatever works for you, and whenever you feel it slowed down, shut all (or almost all) the inactive apps. When i do so i have the same response time as in the times of iOS 4.

Some of my songs in iPad Mini with RD disappeared all the sudden and I need to redownload it again. Same thing happen to my iPod touch 5 too. What's wrong with it? Is it the iOS problem?

Delete the music in your iTunes library, then go to iTunes store, Quick Link, 'Purchased' to redownload again.

A profile is used on iOS device to add specific settings and similar things to an iOS device. Tryically, they are added when the iOS devices is controlled by a company or school.
However, some apps install a profile. If your iPod is not controlled by a company or school then it seems an app added the profile. You can good the title if the profile and see if that gives any info.

If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

I have an ipod touch with ios 5.1.1 that wont connect to wifi. what can i do?

have an ipod touch with ios 5.1.1 that wont connect to wifi. what can i do? Ive done a restore, recovery, and still wont connect.

Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. Not clear if you did this type of restore
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

I presume you mean to say that the iPad is not being recognised in iTunes! If so,
Firstly, make sure that your device is not hidden (left hand pane). If it just reads device then toggle between SHOW and HIDE.
Secondly, try all the other ports on your computer, even a number of times.
Thirdly, make sure your lead /connections are not faulty.
Fourthly, if you have another computer try plugging your device into it without taking any action, give it a moment, remove it and try it back in your other computer again.
Failing all that, see here - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 for Windows and http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591 for Macs
And failing all that put the device into Recovery mode. See here and note the paragraph 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page -

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked.

Whenever I go to iTunes with my iPod 5th generation 32 gb iPod Touch, running iOS 8.0.2, It tells me that the "Other" category is using up 14.59 gb of data. I have no clue why it says this and I have searched the internet for fixes and none worked. I have tried on a windows and a mac and noticed no change. I have tried restoring to a backup but that didn't help. I haven't had time to do a full restore but I will try if the problem persists.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

What is "Other" and What Can I Do About It?
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

Error 8288 when upgrading my first gen Ipod Touch to IOS 3.1.

I am having some trouble trying to get IOS 3.1 on my first generation Ipod touch. I have the latest Itunes, I do not have any dvd burning software like Anydvd that can interfere, and I've tried it on two different computers with no avail. Any help is greatly appreciated.

msoviolist, I opened a ticket via their so called "Express Lane" support page, I assume it'll take a couple of emails before they decide to credit you for the download. I would suggest linking to these two threads in the correspondence, this is what I included in the message;

Thanks

Restart your WiFi router by powering it off for 30 seconds.

If you need more help please give some details on what make, model, and version router you have and how it is configured.

TS4085 Does AirPlay support mirroring of iPod Touch w/ iOS 5?

Only iPhone 4S and iPad 2 are mentioned in the AirPlay support docs. I do not own an Apple TV unit. I'm just researching my options for mirroring and may want to mirror my iPod Touch to my TV or computer monitor w/out jailbreaking the device.
The only reason I ask is because all of the other similar questions/answers that I found to this question were not for the newest iPod Touch w/ iOS 5. Just wanted to make sure that they didn't add support in the lastest iPod Touch that came out in Q4 2011.
I'm a developer and thought it would be useful to have the device displayed on my second monitor at my workstation as I develop and test mobile designs and coding for iOS. Probably not a big deal, but just wanted to see what was possible. Thanks.

No Apple have limited it to iPad 2 and iPhone 4S currently.
It may or may not be a processing power issus - I suspect mirroring uses a VNC type connection for screen sharing requiring compression of the display bitmp by the device, whereas standard Airplay tends to push media already rendered in an AppleTV compatible format to the unit.
