Is Apple ever going to let iPod 4th generations get IOS 7?

I really like IOS 7 and I wanna know if there will be an IOS 7 update for iPods 4th gen. Itd be pretty cool to have it.

Not likely at all.  Since the iPod Touch 4th generation has less RAM to run the iOS and apps in, it's hardware is not up to the task of running iOS 7.  I cannot see Apple making a crippled version of iOS 7 just to support older devices who's hardware does not meet the minimum requirements for the current iOS release.

  • I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6

    I can't update my iPod 4th generation to ios 6... I've updated my iTunes to 10.7 checked my security software tried restoring my iPod and then downloading on my device and my laptop. When I connect it to the computer I try downloading & updating and only downloading.. Still nothing I get error messages, can't connect to update server messages.. I'm just thinking about giving up... What the heck do i do !!??? Will the local apple store do it for me and what's so going to be on the 5th gen I may just wait and get that one. Please help.

    Are you sure you have a proper Internet connection? Make sure your iPod is connected to your computer, and you have an Internet connection.
    Don't even get me started on the iPod Touch 5G, I actually own an iPod Touch 4G, and I've considered a lot about if I should get the new one. At first look, you might be sold by the features Apple has on their iPod Touch page. It has a taller screen that's a 4-inch Retina Display, has a much better camera with a flash, and comes with iOS 6 preinstalled with Siri. But the real breakthrough comes with the new connector. It's called Lighting, and it's much smaller. But if you have a dock connector that comes with some cars, and maybe a set of speakers or docking stations as alarm clocks, I encourage you not to get the new one. The usage of your old connectors requires a $30 adapter, which is a ridiculous price. And who knows how secure the adapters will be with your docking stations? I personally think Apple has crossed the line. If they are to put a new connector with their new products, they should ship with an adapter in the box, at least at first. This is why I strongly encourage you NOT to get the new 5th generation iPod Touch.
    Sorry if I went a little off-topic there, but I wanted to get my point across. For your updating to iOS 6, I reccommend you check out other discussions in the support comunity, and see what other contributors have to say. Or go on Google and search your error messages, possibly someone might've already went through the same problem as you did. I really hope this helped!

  • Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...

    Updated iPod (4th generation) to iOS 6 and now it will not turn on...
    It sometimes has the apple on the screen, or says it needs to be charged, or is all white, black, or yellow. I have tried charging it, leaving it alone for a while and turning it off and back on. Nothing has worked. What should I try to do??? Help please!!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    Other uses have had same problem.

  • HT5622 How can you trace a stolen ipod 4th generation running IOS 6?

    Please can any member of the community please help or advice on a stolen ipod touch 4th generation running IOS 6. THANKS.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • Dear apple why wont you let itouch 4th gen have ios 7?

    I think it would be smart of apple to allow a version of ios7 for those of its millions of costumers that have an i touch 4th generation. even if you had to charge $20 or something to do the upgrade.

    Not enough RAM/memory
    As Apple announced in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod touch
    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 (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • How do i update my ipod 4th generation into ios 6?

    How can I update my ipod touch 4th generation 4.2.1 into ios 6. I have installed the latest version of iTunes on my computer, then I connected my ipod to it. However, I tunes is saying that ios8 is the latest update, and I want to update to ios 6. How do I solve this problem?

    If your iPod is currently running iOS 4.2.1, that suggests that it is in fact a 2nd generation Touch, not 4th. If I recall correctly, the 4th gen Touch came with iOS 5 on it.
    To check whether your iPod is 2nd gen, look on the back at the etched text (you may need a magnifying glass). If it states Model No. A1288, then it's a second generation Touch, which cannot be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1
    Alternatively, if you connect your Touch to your iTunes Library (on your computer) and use the Check for Updates feature on the Device/Summary pane. If it comes back and states "your iPod is up to date", then there are no updates for it.

  • Is Apple ever going to let us have signatures.? SMS

    What the bloody **** is this.!? I don't want to have to download an texting app just for a detail. Unless Apple can make a. Free app that let's us use our own number still but it can have features like signatures. And that kind of. Stuff unles they can use their magic and let us have that privilege in the next iOS update which would be very nice.

    Give them a nudge?

  • I can't update my ipod 4th generation to iOS 6.1.6

    Hey guys,
    I have an iPod 4G that currently has an iOS of 5.1.1
    I tried a few times to update it to iOS 6.1.6 but whenever I do I get the error message:
    "Software Update Failed; An error occured downloading iOS 6.1.6."
    When i try on iTunes, I get to about a quarter of the way howver an error message pops up saying:
    "There was a problem downloading the software for the iPod the network connections timed out."
    Does anyone know why the update is not working?

    Check for hardware issues
    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good. Also, confirm your security software and settings are allowing communication between your device and update servers. If you still see the alert when you update or restore, contact Apple support.
    Common errors: 1, 10-47, 1002, 1011, 1012, 1014, 1000-1020.
    Configure your security software
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Common errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Try on another computer.

  • HT4061 ipod 4th generation stuck on start up screen, won't do anything (the black screen with the silverish apple). Help?

    This morning, i tried turning on my ipod (4th generation) and it is stuck at  the black start upp screen (the screen that has the siverish apple when you have first turned on your device). It has been stuck like this for about a half an hour now, and I'm not sure what to do. This would be the second time in at least three months I have had problems with it (around December it went into recovery mode and i had to reset it to the factory settings). Is there anyway I can handle this at home, or do i have to go into an apple store to have this fixed? Also, I plugged it into my computer and it didnt show up in itunes like it did last time. Thanks! (I'm pretty sure its the IOS 6 because i have not updated it since then).

    If the reset does no work
    Try:
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
