IPod Touch 4th Generation; every time I try to back up and update, I get error -43. Help?

My iPod Touch is a 4th generation running on iOS 4.3.3, and I want to update to the more recent iOS 6.1.2; however, when I connect to iTunes to back up/update, about 3/4 of the way through the backing up, I get error message -43, telling me that continuing will result in the loss of all the contents on my device. I don't know how to fix this, and it happens every time I try to update. Solutions/advice is greatly appreciated.

I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to go and buy apps from Itunes and App store it askes for ssecurity codes because it is the 1st time using it. can not remember. How do I reset it or find them?

I have an IPOD touch 4th generation. When I try to buy apps from apps store and Itunes it says this is the 1st time doing it so wants me to answer security questions. Granddaughter put 2 in the ipod but can't remember them. how do i either change them so I know what they are or just take them out again?

Strange; yesterday there was a link via which you could get a reset email sent, but today that link is missing. So if you've forgotten your answers, there is no way around the problem without involving Apple. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html
to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

On my PC, in I-Tunes, my iPod (touch) button disappears every time I try to sync or update. Everything has been rebooted, but no changes. Any ideas on how to sync to the IPod?

- Have you tried another USB port and cable?
- Inspect the dock connector for bend or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

When i plug my Ipod touch 4th generation in it goes to the apple screen and then it will turn off and then back on to a solid blue screen.

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.

My ipod touch 4th generation has frozen whilst being turned back on. The apple logo has been on the screen and ever so often the screen flashes white and then black. How do I get it to unfreeze at this stage?

Every time I try and use iTunes or the App Store on my iPad Mini, I keep getting the message "Cannot connect to iTunes Store". However, on my iPod Touch 4th Generation - signed into the same account - it works with no problems. Can anyone help? Thanks!

As I've already mentioned, I can't connect to iTunes or the App Store, the same message appears every time: "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". I downloaded a few apps before I connected my iPad Mini to my Computer. I started doing an update that was about 9 or 10 hours long, somewhere around that time, and I unplugged it about halfway through the update and since then I've not been able to get onto iTunes or the App Store. I checked to see if I could continue the update but when I looked on iTunes again, no updates appeared. On my iPod Touch 4th Generation, everything works absolutely fine and it is logged into the same Apple ID. I've tried resetting my Network Settings, logging into someone else's Apple ID, connecting to a different Wifi, changing the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8, rebooting my Computer and iPad and changing the HTTP Proxy to Auto. Is there anything else I could try or am I just overlooking something? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here, thanks!

Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

I have an ipod touch 4. Every time I try to purchase a song in itunes it kicks me out

I have an ipod touch 4th generation running on ios 6.1.6. Everytime I try to purchase a song from itunes, it kicks me out and right back to my home screen. What can I do to fix this?? Does anyone know what the problem might be?? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

It sounds like the App is crashing. Since it's a built in app and you can't delete and re-download it, try these troubleshooting steps.
1) Restart your iPod.
2) Backup your iPod.
3) Reset All Settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings on the iPod.
4) Restore the iOS via iTunes.
5) Restore your backup that you created from Step 2.

Can you hook up your iPod Touch 4th generation with an HDMI cable to your HDTV and play videos from your iPod to the TV?

I'm trying to find out if I can hook up my iPod touch 4th gen. iOS 5.0.1 to my HDTV with an HDMI cable and have it mirror what I do on the iPod Touch like mirroring videos for example. I need to find out and if so, how?

You can only output content to your TV if the App you are using supports the TV Out functionality. Mirroring is not supported on the iPod Touch.
If you still want to output content from your iPod to your TV, make sure you have the right cables as described here.

My ipod touch 4th generation won't charge all of a sudden and I'm not sure what to do?

When I get home from school I instantly put my ipod on it's charger because I use it a lot during the day. i always put in on an ipod dock and play my music while it charges and use my computer until it's completely done charging. So, today I did that and had a friend over and while she was using my computer I asked her to pass me my ipod and she did and I used it without any problems whatsoever. After she left I put it on the charger where it did not work. I figured it was the dock itself so I turned it off then on and nothing it still wouldn't work, then I went and put it on an outlet charger where it acknowledged that it was on a charger and turned on for a brief moment then turned off again and again. It hasn't been used since then and it keeps truning on and off. I was getting worried and tried to look up some solutions online but wasn't getting any until I saw this one that said it could have possibly been from the static shock of something. My friend shocked herself before touching it then I did the same later while putting it on an outlet charger... could that be it? And if so, how do I fix it? Please I really need some help with this.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable.
- 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.

My ipod touch 4th generation keeps lagging, all the apps crash, nothing will update and my home button no longer works?

my ipod touch will not stop crashing, its pretty much un usable now, is it worth resetting to default settings and clearing everything. Its about two years old and the screens been smashed twice and replaced, the home button no longer works, and now its slow and basically nothing even opens or updates. is it the end of my ipods life now ahah.

- 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. You can't do it
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

HT1911 How do I get my Ipod touch 4th generation to change my email address? I have updated my account on Itunes, but when I go to purchase or update it still shows my old email address.

I recently chenged my email address on Itunes. When I plugged in my Ipod 4th generation Itouch, it still shows my old email address.
It syncs everytime, but the old email address is keeping me from making other purchases. How do I fix this?

In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > store, scroll down and tap your ID)

My iPod touch 4th generation crashed twice when I was playing music and trying edit a photo. What should I do if it happens again?

I was listening to music and I wet in to edit a couple of photos, then as I started, my iPod went black and the loading apple came up. After I got in, I tried the same thing and it crashed a second time. I decided to leave it alone for now, but what should I do if my iPod crashes again? Thanks!

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.

I'm sending my iPod touch 4th generation in for service to fix the screen and home button. They're not gonna send me a new iPod are they?

I'm sending my iPod in to have the screen and home buttong fixed. I've heard that when peoplesend them in, apple send them new ones. But I want to keep this one because my dad engraved my name on it before he died. They won't send me a new one, will they?

Will the custom laser engraving on my iPod be preserved?
If your original iPod was personalized by Apple and you arrange service through Apple, you will be asked if you want your replacement iPod to be personalized with the same text. iPod personalization is not available in all countries or through the Express Replacement Service. If your original iPod was custom laser engraved by another company, your replacement iPod will not be personalized.
