Ipod Tough 4th Generation Apps Won't Update

Hello,
Just got the message to update some apps on my ipod. Now it won't update to IOS 7, which is fine, but I've never had a problem with it not being able to update the apps. It says it's no longer compatible. I'm assuming that this is because the new apps are for IOS 7.
The find my phone is pretty important and I'm wondering if the fact that it won't update will hinder it from working properly.
Also, the garageband & pages will not update as well, and I find it very handy to use it to put down ideas on my ipod and then transfer it to my computer. Will the fact that it won't update cause compatibility issues with the computer as well, since I just updated it to Mavericks?
Is any body else having this problem?
Thank you for your responses.

Go to settings>icloud>storage and back up>back up
after that download the ipsw corresponding to your ipod. usoing link below

After download hold the ipods home and power button for 15 seconds. itunes will detect an ipod in recovery mode. hold the option key and click restore. finder will pop up and find the ipsw via search and click on it and choose it.
this should work

My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!

Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
Hope this helps.

My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel, I tried the method where you hold the home and lock button lots of times and it hasn't worked! What do I do?

My question won't all fit in but it says 'My iPod Touch 4th Generation 8gb won't turn on and is frozen on the loading symbol/wheel. What do I do?'
I've had this problem from about two weeks and I forgot about it, but today I wanted to play on it and remembered that it's not working, I've tried connecting it to iTunes via my laptop but I'm not to sure how to update it because I thought that might fix it, but no luck. I've tried the trick where you hold the lock and home button but nothing happened apart from it just went back to the apple logo and then to the frozen loading symbol/wheel. I need help!

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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Will the iPod Touch 4th Generation get any other updates beyond 6.1.3?

Will the iPod Touch 4th Generation get any other updates beyond 6.1.3?
Also my dad's iPad which is a 2nd Generation got the ios 7 update and also the fact is my iPod touch 4th Generation is alot newer than my dads ipad
Will my 4th generation get any thing similer to the ios 7 update or am I stuck with an outdated ipod touch?

I doubt it.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory. The 4G only has 256 MB
iOS 6.1.4 was only for the iphone 5 to correct a problem on that device only.

Ipod Touch 4th Generation apps keeps crashing and slow 5.1.1

I have an ipod touch 4th generation. I had my ipod since two years ago. I have upgraded to ios 6.1.3 before and then downgraded it to 5.1.1 because it was really slow. After downgrading I downloaded a couple of apps that I needed but most of them seem to crash alot even the app store. It hasn't been like this before. I also even tried deleting them on the multitask bar but same thing happens. I just want my ipod to be just the way like it was before. I don't want to buy a new one. Is there any way to fix this issue?

Try:
- 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.
- 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.

- 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.

HT4623 my iPod doesn't have soft where update in the settings app my iPods 4 th generation but won't update

Hey guys my iPod touch is the 4 th generation and I would like to update the iOS but my iPod doesn't have update soft where update in the settings app how to I update it also my iTunes. Wont update either

That option comes with iOS 5. You have to connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes. See:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes version 10.7 or later on the computer

My iPod touch 4th generation 8gb won't let me download apps even though I have enough space?

I am trying to download the game Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour which is 1.54GB and I have 3.1GB of space on my iPod but when I try to download it, it says that there is not enough local storage space to download it. Can someone help me as i would like to download the game?

To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size. Thus you need abut 4.5 GB free storage space on the iPod which you do not have.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.

Our iPod touch 4th generation 8GB will only update to iOS 4.2.1. Are further updates impossible?

It's just been updated and restored using iTunes. That went well, but iTunes now says the iPod software is up to date with 4.2.1, although we wanted to get a more advanced iOS so the iPod touch would be able to run the SiriusXM app.

A 4G can go as hig as iOS 6.1.3. You update via iTunes
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on your computer.
You do have a 4G iPod, right? The 4G has cameras. Otherwise you have a 2G and those can only go to 4.2.1

My iPod touch 4th generation charger won't work!

I have a black 4th gen. iPod touch with 5.1 iOS. The charger won't work anymore and I think something is cut in the wire. If I get a new one do I have to pay, if so were can I get one?

I think you mean the cable. Yes, that is covered by the warranty that comes with the iPod. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If defective and not abused and within warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

I've only had it for 4 months maybe 5 and it stoped working 3 months after I got it. I've tryed everything and nothing works:(

Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.
