Ipod touch 4g won't finish installing a few apps

I have an ipod touch 4th generation, 64gb -- works great except I recently downloaded/installed a few apps (through the app store on the device)... Most of them installed just fine... But I still have a few that won't finish installing... The status bar looks like its at or very near 100%. They just won't finish...
I have tried turning the wifi off and back on.
I've tried logging out of app store and back in (on the device).
I have tried syncing with my computer. I've also looked for updates through itunes (on my computer) and performed a backup successfully.
None of those things have fixed my problem.
I can play games, access the internet, use other apps, heck even move the unfinished installed apps around on the screen. They just won't finish installing nor are they deletable.
I won't reboot my ipod because in the past when I have had this it put the ipod into a endless boot loop (brick mode) and need to restore to get out of it.
Suggestions? Thanks!
HELP!

If not:

then

Try turning it off for 20 seconds and then on

IPod Touch videos won't show then crash and apps respond slow

Here's the deal, I bought his iPod a couple months ago, 3rd generation 64GB and I could put videos on it fine and they would come up and I could play them, now since I updated it with 4.2 or 4.1 software from iTunes everything's running slower. My iPod takes longer to respond when I open an app or it just crashes and brings me back home. My video (standard) app won't even show any of my videos, it's just a white screen and then crashes. What happened and how do I fix it?

I'm also having the same problem with the Videos app - interestingly enough, also with a 64GB 3rd Gen. Touch running 4.2.1 (build 8C148). Try to open Video app, it goes to white screen for a bit, then quits.
Checked out another thread (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12678404&#12678404) and experienced the same behaviors as well: temporarily works if you change languages; restoring as a new iPod does NOT fix issue; music videos seem to play fine (though it seems to repeat a video, rather than move on to the next); and all that.
The more I read about it, the more this seems to be a glitch in iOS. Moreover, it seems to be related to music videos somehow. Seems that the Music Videos and regular moves aren't playing nice.
While music videos do play in the Music app, that's not particularly convenient for me. Going off one of the posts in the above-mentioned thread, I'm going to tray a temporary fix of relabeling my "Music Videos" to "Movies". Seemed things went wrong when Music Videos entered the picture. While a work-around, for me it's a little more usable than the inverse.
Will report back whether or not this temporary fix works until Apple can release an update addressing this problem.

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.
- download on computer and sync
- Restore from backup. See:

IPod Touch 3 won't update apps

iPod Touch 3 won't update apps. When I respond to the notice of an available update, the icon dims and a "waiting" message appears under it. It will hang like that until I delete it and reinstall the new app. I had another problem that has been resolved when I tried to get more episodes of a podcast, I ended up with 11 of them in the queue that wouldn't ever finish. They too would just hang there. I had to delete them all and get them through iTunes. I don't know how to upgrade the apps from iTunes though. Why is this happening just since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1?

If We Update 2nd Gen Ipod Touch From 3.1.3 To Higher Level WilL It Slow my iPod :/
I suppose that's debatable.
My iPod does ocassionaly take a few seconds to carry out a command, but since it is such a powerful device, capable of so much, I'm prepared to wait two extra seconds.
(I have 2nd generation iPod Touch with iOS 4.2.1 on it.)
By the way, since your question has no connection to the one asked by the original poster, it would have been far wiser for you to create your own thread. That way, you are actually more likely to get responsess to your question.

I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

My iPod Touch (3G) won't turn on?

I've owned my iPod Touch since June 30th, 2010 (a little over a year). I am no longer under the warranty, so I know that if my iPod is broken, I will have to pay. My iPod has been dropped several times, it has cracks in the screen, but the screen hasn't chipped away like others. It's never been dropped in water, so I don't think water is the problem. I'm also positive the headphone jack is broken, as several pairs of working headphones have not worked on it unless a decent amount of pressure is applied. Anyways, back to the major problem. My iPod will not turn on. I'll hold the power and home button, and the apple logo will come up, but it won't take me to the lock screen, it will simply go black again. It won't charge at all, and the only time I can successfully turn it on is when the iPod is "charging". However, the second I unplug it, it goes all black. All help is appreciated!! Thanks!

Same problem here - Ipod touch 3G won't turn on. I've tried reseting - but absolutely no response and when I try to restore, before it completes the restore, error 1600 comes up. This is my daughter's ipod and we've tried all of this after plugging in to a wall charger overnight and then using a pc and then mac and still nothing. Any suggestions?

OR use this method
1. Press-hold the Home button (big circle below the screen)and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons (Ignore the"Slide to power off") until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart.
3.You may let go when you see the silver Applelogo.
Thats all Folks!!

Ipod touch 5 won't charge. It charged last night and today nothing. It's less than a month old

Help! My daughter's almost brand new Ipod touch 5 won't charge. It doesn't even recognize it's being plugged in.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- 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.

Tried to update to newest version. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes and is stuck on a connection with itunes screen

I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.

oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
