Ipod touch or ipad 4th gen?

Torn between the 5th gen ipod touch and the 4th gen ipad. The main reason i would go for the ipod is easy portability and the fact that it fits in your pocket (take anywhere) but the ipad has faster performance and a bigger screen. Help me out !?

The iPad mini and 5G iPod have the same processor so speed is essentially the same. The iPad has optional cellular connection. The iPad can take panoramic photos while the iPod can't.
To me it really depends if yo want the smaller device or you want the larger screen.

Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like.

I'm replacing my 3rd gen Ipod Touch with a 4th gen. How do I delete all my stuff off the 3rd gen but have it available for my 4th gen on my PC?

I'm replacing my 3rd gen 16gb Ipod Touch with a new 4th gen Ipod Touch. I'm wondering how I can delete all of the apps, photos, music, etc.
from my old Ipod but still have all of the items available to install on my new Ipod? Help please!

Right click on your old iPod in the device list and choose "transfer purchases". This will copy all bought media from your device to your iTunes library.
Back up manually by right clicking again and choosing "backup" to save all settings, 3rd party app data, contact info, calendars etc. The content of a backup is also described here: iTunes: About iOS backups
After that set it up "as new device", to delete everything and get it back to factory settings.
Connect your new iPod, let iTunes set it up and use the manual backup from your old iPod to restore from. This should sync all data back to your new device again.

Titanium OS X 10.4.11 doesn't see OS 6 iPod Touch or iPad 2d gen.

I'd like to move music I have on my Titanium OS X 10.4.11
to my new OS 6 iPod touch & iPad 2d gen.
Turned on Home Sharing. Titanium DOESN'T SEE iPod Touch.
Titanium DID SEE and sync with 1st-generation iPod Touch.
Any ideas: I have a large collection of my CDs that I copied to iTunes.
I can't figure out how to get them onto my new iPod Touch (or 2nd Generation iPad)
Thanks.

For the next person who is hampered
attempting to get their music files from
their older computer onto an iOS 6 (or earlier) iPod:
I found out HOW to get my music
(which is on my Titanium OS X 10.4.11)
onto my iOS 6 iPod.
I E-Mailed the INDIVIDUAL MP4 files to myself
(1 per E-Mail).
I then opened the E-Mail on the new iPod.
I then opened the music files in DROPBOX.
Now I have access to my music. Yay !
Takes a bit of time doing,
ONE E-Mail per EACH song,
but I can now enjoy my music.
Yahoooo !

I just switched from a 2nd gen ipod touch to a 4th gen and it won't since my music. What do I do?

I just bought a new 4th gen ipod. Before i had the 2nd gen and it synced fine. Now this new one won't. I plug it into my mac and it just charges. It reads the ipod but just won't sync my playlist. Can someone walk me though some steps to help the problem? Thank you.

See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
and
iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer. That requires OSX 10.6.8 or later.

IPod touch 32 g 4th gen video function not working properly

So I am having 2 major problems with my iPod. 1, is that it won't let me add videos of any format tO my iPod other than .mov files and frankly since I have over 100 different videos on m iPod it would be kinda annoying to have to convert each one one at a time. This hadn't started happening till the last iPod software update whicy happened around last weekend. My 2nd problem is that my videos are not orginizing properly. For example under my TV shows section I have a show that should only have 26 episodes in it. Instead it has around 80 episodes in it which consist of other tv shows I have added but my iPod does not recognize that they do not belong there. I keep my videos very organized by episode, show, season, etc and I don't know what to do. I've tried restoring my iPod and that didn't work.
My computer specs go as follows: thinkpad laptop, windows 7, latest iTunes and iPod touch software

The 'wrong sorted TV episodes' bug was the first thing I noticed on 4.2.1's video player. I'd say the whole media part is buggy as never before, at least for me. I absolutely agree with you and in addition to this (as I mentioned here http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12686533#12686533) the swipe to delete function on both podcasts and videos seems to be broken, not deleting properly.
I'm also using Windows 7 (64-bit) for syncing, if anything could be related to Windows iTunes or Windows 7.

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

Can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch

can a ipad 4th gen charger ruin a ipod touch? Device was plugged in to an ipad charger then failed during an update to IOS 601. went to a solid color screen and will only boot to the apple logo on a reset than returns to the solid color screen.

Try the following to get the iPod working.
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.

IPad 4th gen won't charge?

I have recently got an iPad 4th gen (3 with lightning charger).
Last night I was on youtube watching videos, when suddenly the screen went black.
I plugged it into the wall, pressed the on switch.. it turned on and it was 1%.
So I let it charge overnight (12:45am - 11:30am)
I go down to see it and its STILL on 1%
I use the plug (12WATT) that was provided in the box, and also the cable provided
both seem to be working fine as it says my iPad is charging due to the lightning symbol in the corner next to the percentage..
but my iPad will not budge past 1%
I have tried the power button and home button reset... twice and it hasn't worked either time.
Does anyone have any ideas why?
And what should I do, because I really need to use it..?
Update : I plugged it into my laptop and it now says 'Not Charging' in the top right hand corner?

Hi Moll.x,
If you are having difficulties charging your iPad, you may want to follow the directions listed in this article -
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
Note that the article title says iPhone & iPod touch but the same steps are relevant to the iPad -
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge until your device turns on. This could take between 10 and 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue persists, please contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

My iPad 4th Gen is lying

My iPad 4th Gen is lying. It tells me that i only have 964 MB. I Turn it Off , Turn it on, Then it Says 642 MB left. Any ideas ?

How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

Ipad 4th gen headphone jack not working properly

Any ideas on this ?
Every time I put put my headphone jack in all I could hear is hiss sounds and when I try to maximize the volume I could hear the music but its too loud for me .
If I try to move my ipad 4th gen in stand it goes back normal , if I put it down or any other position I want to try it starts to give weird sounds again . ( plugged headphones )
It's my first time buying a tablet so I have little information about tablets and how to solve this .
Is it hardware or software issues or dust , it's been a week and half since I bought the ipad .
I'm quite satisfied with the buy but if it won't work well I guess I'm gonna be having a :( face .

Thanks so much for this post!
I got a lot of fluff out of my 1st gen ipod Touch's headphone jack. The audio would be fine if I used my Apple headphones (but they have completely fallen apart, 3rd replacement set from Apple) but with third party headphones I had the same problem as you described.

Ipad 4th gen wont unlock

iPad wont let me unlock on main screen tried everything from a hard restart, to a factory reset with itunes but nothing still wont let me unlock from main screen. Any more ideas would be great with problem.
iPad 4th gen ios 8.1.2 or 8.1.3 not sure since i cant tell if i took after i factory reset it was on 8.1.2 before the issue.

If the touchscreen is not responding, and it appears that you have already tried to restore. If that didn't help, then you are going to have to get it looked at. You can double-check troubleshooting here If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support but if that does not work, then you need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store or Authorized Apple Service provider, whichever applies to your location.
