IPod touch g4 iOS 6.1.3 not recognizing external gps devices.

Having intermittent luck in getting my iTouch g4 with iOS 6.1.3 to acknowledge my external GPS devices.  I have tried the TomTom, Dual cradle and Dual Bluetooth devices and each has the same issue.  It works great some times and other times will not recognize that the device is connected, but other aspects of the device (charging, speakers, etc) work fine so physical connection is there.  In some cases, @ 50%, resetting the iPod will work, other times I can reset 5x and still not work. Tried disabling wifi , going into airplane mode etc.... No real pattern as to what gets it going.  Seems to be a memory issue in OS.  My brother in law has experienced the same kind of issues.
Any idea what is going on or how to report a bug to apple?
Thanks, lost / going nowhere (as far as my iPod is considered)

  • My iPod touch 4g will charge but is not recognized by computer

    I have done everything I know to do. My iPod touch 4g will charge from my computer but will not sync and is not recognized by the computer. I have tried it on 4 different computers and my brothers iPod touch 3G works and so does our iPad 2 but something is wrong my with just my touch 4g. Both of them have updated to the ios5 and I have not. I did the extremely stupid thing of resetting it and now it's just stuck an the original start up screen. So I can no longer even get into my touch. My 90 day has expired as well.
    Please someone help me. My brothers have spent hours looking for ways to fix it but can't find anything. Nothing is working at all.

  • Probs registering ipod touch.....Serial # not recognized??

    Anyone having similar probs?? Have tried serial# all different ways and nothing.....Thanks

    I can't register my iPod one Apple's site either. mine was a replacement product btw and I got a new serial number, FWIW. When trying to register on iTunes, it tells me to enter my Apple ID, but when I press continue, it doesn't do anything -- it just stays on the login page.

  • My IPad and iPod Touch is telling me Paypal is not supported on my device

    I have updated my payment information through itunes and see it active on Paypal. How can thsi issue be resolved?

    I had this same problem also.  The problem has to do with your credit card number associated with you iCloud account.  To solve this problem, you need to update your credit card/payment information by doing the following on your iPad / iPhone / iTouch:
         Settings > iCloud > click on your account > Payment Information
    Update this section with your correct credit card information and Save.

    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is NOT enabled in Windows Firewall.
    We'd better check on that, kris. If you enable iTunes in your Windows firewall, does that help with your connection? See the following document for instructions:

    EDIT: Drat ... gave you the link to the wrong document. Try this one instead for your Vista:

  • 5th Gen iPod Touch w. iOS 7 not recognized by iTunes 11.1

    On Wednesday I updated my 5th gen iPod Touch to iOS 7, and ran the latest iTunes 11.1 update on my MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.5.
    For two days, everything worked fine, but today, when I plug in my fully charged iPod it is not recognized by iTunes.
    Some salient facts:
         1. My iPod shuffle is recognized by iTunes without problem when I plug it in to any USB port on my Mac.
         2. I tried all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions - restarted iPod and computer, tried connecting to different USB ports on my Mac.
         3. My iPod touch will still charge when plugged in to my Mac.
    Any ideas? Thanks.

    I did try all of Apple's troubleshooting suggestions.  It was the cable - Thanks for the tip!
    It didn't occur to me to suspect that my still-new, Apple-brand cable went bad the same week Apple released two major software updates.

  • HT4623 I was updating my iPod Touch 5 iOS from Ver 7.0.3 to Ver 7.0.4 and my iPod locked up. Can not reset. The only thing I get is a picture the lightning cable pointing to a circular iTunes icon. Any idea on how to unlock my device? Thanks. Stroke72

    I was updating my iPod Touch 5 iOS from Ver 7.0.3 to Ver 7.0.4 and myiPod locked up. I can not reset or restore the unit. The only thing it will do is show me a graphic of thr lightning cable facing up to an arrow and then to a circular blue iTunes icon. I interpert this to mean "connect the iPod to my computer thru the USB cable while iTunes is running. I do this and nothing changes. Total lock up. Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    - If you restored the 5G frmm the iTunes backup of the 3G were th app in the iTunes library of the computer you used? They have to be.
    - If yes then try again. When I first restored my iPad 4 from the iTunes backup of my iPad 1 app data did not transfer. I tried again and it did.
