IPod Touch 4Gen is Incompatible Bluetooth with iMac & MacBook?

I have an iPod Touch 4Gen. iOS 4.3.4
I tried to connect it to an iMac 24" 3.06GHz. and to a MacBook 13" 2.4GHz. (The Blackie). Both use Snow Leopard 10.6.8 with Bluetooth Firmware 2.0.1.
The problem:
The iPod no connect
The settings in system preferences / bluetooth
iMac is incompatible with iPod?
Why?

The iPod dos not have the necesaary profiles to support pairing with a computer. See:

    What battery life are you getting?  Is it short when you are using the iPod? When it is sleeping?

  • Sync podcasts with iPod touch 4gen

    my iPod touch 4gen will no longer sync podcasts without the podcast app. app store says it requires iOS7 to get podcast app. iPod update says it has the latest iOS, 6.1.6. i have tried to manually update, keeps saying i have the latest. any suggestions? a workaround the still get new podcasts? thanks!

    You should be able to download the app by:
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Ipod Touch 4Gen not showing up in Computer in Windows 7

    Hi,
    I just reinstalled my Ipod Touch 4Gen and also have reinstalled Itunes on my Windows 7 computer. I had a problem having Itunes to show my Ipod Touch, so I contacted apple support and they have help me, but when I go to the Computer folder in Windows 7, I don't see my Ipod Touch as one of the devices there when I connect it my computer. My Ipod Touch would show up there before, so what can I do to fix this?
    Thank you.

  • I have a ipod touch 4gen and whenever i sync it, i just lose all my memory... and im also trying to restore my memory but don't really know how... how do i do it?

    i have a ipod touch 4gen and whenever i sync it, i just lose all my memory... and im also trying to restore my memory but don't really know how... how do i do it?

    Only sync chosen songs. Even with that I had a bad song once that was corrupted and it blew the ipod touch's mind. Can't remember how I found the song, but deleted it off the computer and was able to get a fresh copy off this quite old CD. Also, settings-general-usage, you can see which files are gathering up in your memory. There are some surprisingly large programs.

    I have an iPod Touch 4gen. 32gb running iOS 6.1.6. I am seeing only "Songs" on this device the "album" and "artist" are both showing empty. I am running iTunes 12.1.26 and am showing both album and artist information in addition to songs. I have tried syncing with iTunes without success. I'm sort of a noob at this so please be specific. Thanks

  • HT1386 how do i update my ios 5.1 to 6 on my ipod touch 4gen

    how do i update my ios 5.1.1 t0 6 on my ipod touch 4gen

    As I said in my previous reply, the 3G can only go as high as 5.1.1.
    If you have iOS 4.2.1 or later on the iPod and there was version compatible with that version, then you should be able to get a compatible version by:
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
