IPod touch 4th generation, won't update to 5.0.1
iPod touch 4th gen, just over a year old, I've been trying to update the new software for what seems like months now, and every time it downloads the software and then at the last minute-quite literally, tells me that the network connection has timed out. I've checked the diagnostics test and everything is fine apparently, and my internet has always been fine with everything else. Anyone have any ideas? I have also updated the iTunes to ITunes 10.5
1- Download The Firmware you need for your device from Here : http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
2- After you've dowwnloaded it go to itunes and press Shift while holing Shift button click Update (for windows only i dont know bout the Mac) and select the Firmware you downloaded it in step 1
3- And youre done it will verify the software and then it will update.

I'm confused, my ipod touch 4th generation won't let me drag my songs from my itunes library to the ipod? So i tried checkmarking the songs I want and I don't know how to sync those? Also, I try to sync apps to my ipod and it says my computer doesn't have the liscense for it?
You should really read the manual.
If you want to drag and drop, then you must check the manually manage music box.

What if my ipod touch 4th generation can't update and now the only option is to restore it.
And i don't know what happens if i press restore?
Will it show my back up and back it up or what?
And if that does happen will all my pictures stil be there?
Also i'm not on a apple computer.To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Either a PC or Mac work the same.
The photos in our iPod's Camera Roll album will be restored as will the last 30 days of photos in our PhotoStream album -
IPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to wifi! Please help!
My iPod Touch (4th generation) won't connect to my house wifi that it's always connected to. I tried forgetting the network, and putting the password in again, several times. I've tried restarting my iPod, turning the wifi on & off, and also turning the router off and back on but none of this has helped. After I forgot the network and typed the password back in it just kept saying 'loading' and eventually it stops loading but still doesn't connect. It also shows other peoples wifi's but I haven't tried to connect to theres to see if it works. It just started doing this yesterday at this other place I was at but i just figured it was their wifi because when I got home that night it worked just fine but today it started doing it again at my house and I don't know what to do. Please Help!
Does the iOS device connect to other networks? If yes that tend to indiacte a problem with your network.
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- 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.
- Power off and then back on your router
.- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem and it does not connect to any networks make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

IPod Touch (4th Gen) Won't Update Past iOS 6.1.6
I have an iPod Touch (4th Generation). I'm trying to connect to Family Share but it needs to be updated to iOS 8. My iPod is saying it's up-to-date at iOS 6.1.6.
I have tried updating directly from the iPod (Settings > General > Software Updates) and I've also connected it to my Mac OS X Yosemite / iTunes 12.01.126 with no luck. Nothing is recognizing that this device needs to be updated.

IPod Touch 4th Generation Won't Charge
Hi, I got my iPod touch 4th generation in January of 2011 and it has been working fine until now.
Let me explain ...
The other day my battery ran out on my iPod, so just as usual I went to plug it into the USB port on my computer. Nothing happened. I then tryed switching USB ports (I have 4). Nothing happened. I then tryed using my wall charger. Nothing happened. I tryed switching outlets. Yet again, nothing happened.
Frustrated I asked my friend if I could borrow her charger. I then proceeded to plug it in to my 4 USB ports, and my many plug outlets. Yet again, nothing happened. When I plug it into my computer, it does not reconize my iPod (Although, I believe it shouldn't since my iPod is dead.). I even tried leaving it plugged in for a few hours, and it still did absolutley nothing.
Now normally when my iPod dies, when I attempt to turn it on it shows a flashing low battery sign (http://ihackmyi.com/files/upload/b/2140-112810133913.jpg) and when I plug it in it shows a low battery sign, except with a symbol notifying me that it's charging (http://www.best-ipod-online.com/images/ipod-touch-troubleshooting-01.jpg). Except now when I attempt to turn it on, it does nothing. It just shows a pure, plain, black screen.
I am completely disapointed with my iPod, and any help at all would be appreciated. I do not wish to ship it away, I will only do that as a last resort.
Thank you,
J.L.K & J.M.KNot 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.

My Ipod touch (first generation) won't update to the latest software.
Hi, my ipod touch (first generation) still has the version 2 software and wont update to the 3? Everytime i plug my ipod into my computer, itunes keeps telling me it has the latest version, when obviously it doesnt. How can i update it? Because it wont update i cant download any applications. The internet and music and everything else works except i cant download apps.
is it my itunes or the actual ipod? should i reinstall itunes? my itunes is up to date: 10.1.1
Thank you.There is no other way to obtain the iOS 3.1 update, but it is available in the Irish iTunes Store; I'm looking at it right now (it's 3,99 Euros), and accessed it from the page I referenced above (both from a Mac and from Windows using both IE and Firefox). If it's coming up and saying that you need iTunes, something's amiss with how iTunes is installed on your system, or with your web browser; you might try a different browser.
Regards, -
I'm so confused. I've been all over the support site and I've uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes at least 3 times. My iPod just has the sign it has when it's turning on, but nothing else is happening. All I was trying to do was download the new software, and now it's completely crashed. Does anyone know why???? Does someone have a solution???? PLEASE HELP!!!!!! D:

IPod Touch 3rd generation won't update to iOS 5
My sister has an iPod Touch 3 and it won't update to iOS 5. Everytime I check for an update, it says "This version of the iPod software (4.2.1) is the current version". The apple website even says 3rd gen is compatible. Any help?
More than likely, the iPod is a 2nd generation one, in which case iOS 4.2.1 is as high as it can go. See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353 to identify which model your sister owns.
(8GB or 16GB - it's 2nd gen. If it's a 32GB Touch you definitely need to check the linked page.) -
