IPod Touch 4th gen froze after new Facebook update...

My iPod 4th gen was purchased last Christmas. I don't have a computer atm so I originally hooked it up to a friend's computer to get it going. Last night I went to update my FB app, and upon starting the app it would not load. As instructed by FB I deleted the app and reinstalled. This caused the iPod to freeze completely. I restarted it (Power + Home) and then it wouldn't load past the Apple logo. It actually froze on the logo startup screen. Resetting at this point resulted in the same occurrence. After leaving it alone for a while it finally turned off, but now when trying to turn it back on it is asking to connect to iTunes like when I first bought it. As I said before, I don't have a computer right now so I haven't connected to iTunes since I got it. Have I just successfully screwed myself and lost everything? Will I be able to recover anything upon connecting to iTunes? Or am I prematurely freaking out? Any help is MUCH appreciated!

U will have to c when u get your on iTunes that happen to me and I freaked out and it shut off and went back to normal when I turn it back on mine didn't say iTunes again so just try to get it om iTunes and c..

  • Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

    Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch.  So, I replace them.  I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings".  I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.  I have used itunes to restore and also recover.  Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer.  The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not.  Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged.  Any thoughts?

    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.
    - Try on another computer                            
      - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
    Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

    Yes, if it is an 8G model. You will receive a refurbished one for that price.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen failed iOS 6.1 update, stuck in recovery mode

    Last night I tried to update my iPod Touch 4th gen to iOS 6.1. The update downloaded from iTunes perfectly fine, but as it was installing I got an error message. Now my iPod is stuck in recovery mode and will not start the recovery process. Both the "Devices and Printers" and "Device Manager" in Windows 7 recognize the iPod as being connected and in recovery mode, but iTunes is not showing the prompt that it detects the iPod in recovery mode. I have tried putting the device into DFU mode, uninstalled and reinstalled both iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device driver, all with no success. I won't be home for about 6 hours, so I can't try connecting it to another computer yet. Can anyone please tell me how to fix it?

    Yeah, just happened to me too. Third time Apple has ****-canned my iPod by updating the iOS. So tired of having to do this over and over everytime Apple releases an update.
    Thanks a ton, Apple! I was just thinking what I could be doing this eveing after a long day at work, now I've got my answer! You guys are just WONDERFUL!

  • Ipod touch will not sync after new itunes update

    Ipod touch 4th generation will not sync after I updated the new itunes. Actually after I updated to the new itunes it deleted all my music from my ipod and refuses to reload. If someone could please help me that would be completely appreciated. I tried trying to sync each song individually but it didn't help (before it stopped syncing), then it stopped syncing, even though I have it hooked up it brings everything that I have on my ipod up but it won't do anything.

    When I tried the first time it asked me if i wanted it to stop syncing and to restore. It gave the choices of yes and cancel, i didn't click either because the option box went away and it just stopped restoring on its own. I did the store again and now it is asking if i want to set up as a new ipod or to restore to Andrea's ipod. Should I set up as new?
    Thank you Espeon for the article

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen won't sync to updated iTunes

    I have the most recent iTunes (11.1.1) and a 4th Gen iPod Touch (6.1.3) that connects just fine to iTunes, but will not sync. It gets through the backup and just closes without warning. It won't sync with the changes I made in my library, adding new songs, deleting old tracks, and unchecking/rechecking other songs, reorganized/new playlists, etc., something which I've never had an issue with before.
    Is the new iTunes incompatible with my iPod?
    Is there a way to fix this without having reset my iPod?
    I'll do what I have to do, but I would really like to not have to reinstall iTunes again or restore my iPod to factory mode, as when I made the switch from Windows to Mac, it was a huge pain.

    The water damaged your iPod. It can take a little time for the damage to fully manifest itself
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4GS. They do not fix yours.

  • My ipod touch 4th Gen doesn't give "System update" option in General settings, how can i fix it?

    My gf gave me her old ipod touch. the 4th gen one with the front facing camera, the version is 4.3.3 and I'm trying to update it, but when I go into "general" and right under the "about" option it should give me the "system update" option but it doesn't, is there a reason for that?

    That option won’t appear in iOS versions prior to 5.0; update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware.
    The maximum iOS version for the fourth generation iPod touch and iPhone 3GS is 6.1.6.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen froze on restore after updating to 5.0 and iTunes doesn't recognise my iPod now??

    After updating to 5.0 my ipod is not recognised in iTunes and I lost everything on it. I have attempted several restores but it just freezes and now all I have is a usb plug on the screen and can't use it!! I have tried the holding button thing, uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, using a different usb port and nothing works. I have even left it to restore over night and it hasn't moved. iTunes is enabled in my firewall and I am running an iTunes diagnostics atm. Help!

  • IPod Touch 2nd Gen borked after failed OS update in iTunes

    My iTouch was working fine with my PC (Windows 7 64bit) and iTunes (9.1.1.12).
    I was upgrading the OS on my iTouch 2nd gen to the latest version (3.1.3???) via iTunes and the update failed after ~5 mins. The iTouch will now no longer turn on, I have tried resetting (hold sleep and power) but nothing I do can get the iTouch to power on.
    Connecting to windows I get "Unknown USB device" and "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)".
    Updating the USB device driver to the apple driver usbaapl64.inf I get "This device cannot start".
    any advice would be appreciated.

    I have received a new iTouch in the post , worked fine with OS 2.1.2.
    I need to update to OS3 so I installed iTunes on a different computer (laptop) with Windows 7 (32 bit) ... and ... the same thing happened. Update ends with notification of a device in restore mode, restore fails twice, and on the second time the PC no longer recognises to iTouch and can't install the drivers, the iTouch itself will no longer turn on.
