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.

  • My iPod touch is running slow on iOS 5.1.1 4g

    On July I restore my iPod touch because it said iPod is disabled connect to iTunes. Last week I try to make a new calendar event but when I tap done it froze. Then in safari web pages will load slow. Today safari crashes. Same to the youtube app. And sometimes wifi will be gone. So I have to go to settings and then wifi will be back. Always this happens. My iPad is working good but........ What's going on my iPod touch

  • IPod touch runs very slow on my computer

    I recently purchased the 3rd Gen iPod touch and so far it has been running extremely slow when plugged into my computer. I installed all the latest updates and it's still running slow. On my 5th Gen iPod, songs were changed and deleted instantly. Any suggestions?

    Same problem, although it used to be much quicker, I am unsure of when it became so slow.
    It's taking about 4 seconds a song to copy to my Touch, while an older Nano takes less than a second per song on the same computer. The same Touch hooked up to my Macbook Pro is very quick. Just on my PC running Windows 7 64 is it slow.
    Also oddly iTunes has an issue playing music when the Touch is syncing now. It pauses briefly every few seconds. Never used to do that either.
    Wondering if I the last update did this?

  • IPod Touch 4g VERY slow wifi

    Hi
    I have recently bought a new ipod touch 4g to replace my old 2g ipod touch, the main reason for this is because it is supposed to be faster, granted the internet speed doesnt have much to do with the processor
    But i noticed the internet was slower than usual, so i put my new and old ipod side to side and used the Freeappaday app (because it accesses internet immediately and takes a while to start up even on the fastest of connections) and on the last attempt the 2g took 10 seconds and the 4g took 30 seconds, if there was only like 5 seconds between them i wouldnt be too bothered, but it takes about 20 seconds just to load the achievements in game center!
    Is anybody else having this problem? Should i take the ipod to an apple store or send it in for repair?
    Thanks
    Ben

    "m have the same problem. Simultaneous, side-by-side download speed test: iPod Touch 4G = 0.97 Mbps, iPod Touch 2G = 9.2 Mbps. I have a Netgear RangeMax WNR834bv2 N-router. I've changed the router speed from "up to 270 Mbps" to "up to 130 Mbps", but no change. I've changed the channels on the router, but no change. I've powered cycled the router a million times, but no change. I've reset the network settings on the iPod, but no change. What are the differences in the wireless antenna between the 2G and 4G that could be affecting download speeds? I've taken my iPod Touch 4G to Starbucks, and my download speeds are much closer to my 2G. My wireless router and Touch 4G are not playing nice.

  • Ipod touch is very slow, but I don't have a lot of apps?

    I have a 4th gen Ipod touch, and lately it's been extremely laggy. I do not have many apps, and there is still around 45-50GB free on it. I use it primarily for music and it takes up 60-70% of what's on the Ipod. Whenever I try to play a song, I have to press the music app(oh whatever you call it the place where the songs go) at least 3 times before it actually displays a list of my songs. The attempts prior to that show the layout, but everything is completeky blank. And once I manage to play a song, it plays only the song I selected and then stops, making me repeat the whole ritual again. I've read other discussions on this topic, but the solutions seem to be restore it and don't overload it with apps... So I'm wondering why it's being like this. I've had it since June 2011 and is this a normal Ipod's lifespan (if it is that is extremely disappointing considering the amount of money paid)?

    turn off the ipod and turn it back on after 5mins
    Maybe do a factory reset and just transfer all your music back from itunes

    If it is still under warranty take it to an Apple Store, or in any case call AppleCare (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 for list of international phone numbers) to see if they can help you. They may be able to help you with repairs if it is a physical problem with the home button.

    The Home button on my iPod Touch is very unresponsive.  It takes several tries to activate it.  While doing so, it responds to one click versus the intended two clicks and vice versa.  It is a very frustrating process.  Any suggestions?  I already tried the "shut off" process that was suggested on the Apple site, but that did not help.

    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
    Help!

    If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
    This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview

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

    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have to iPod play a sound via iCloud.

  • I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1. How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?

    I have an Ipod touch updated to last available ios 4.2.1.
    How can I get the last compatible versions of the apps?
    In the appstore there are only the lat app versions, most of them are incompatible with my device.
    I know that previous versions of these apps were compatible with my ipod.
    Can all download them someway?
    thanks

    The problem is: I never had the compatible versions. But I want them, I'd buy them if I could.
    So I'm stuck with my Ipod, which can't be upgraded anymore to higher IOS versions, and with the appstore, that does not offer older versions; versions that have existed and still exist, perhaps in the recycle bin of some users, or somewhere in the appstore servers.
    I know, its a policy, just to sell more devices. Will not work with me. I'm not buying more Ipods
