Is iMessage only available on the White iPod touch?

My daughter just purchased her very first iPod. A Black 4th generation touch. She was trying to message her bestie (who also has a touch) and found that iMessage is not on hers. In looking for it, I ran across a site that said this app was only preloaded on the WHITE touch. Is this true??

Messages comes with iOS 5. The white iPod was introduced when iOS 5 was released so all white one have iOS 5. It could be that your iPod was built before iOS and thus does not have iOS 5 installed.
Go to Settings>General>About>Version. If not iOS then:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5

  • Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation?

    Does iMessage only work with the newest iPod Touch generation or does it work with older ones as well?

    Any iPod Touch device that can be upgraded to iOS 5 will have iMessage. This means if you have a 3rd or 4th generation iPod Touch it will support iMessage.
    See this article on what features your iPod Touch supports

  • When will the white ipod touch be available in stores?

    when will the white ipod touch be available in stores, if known then would it be available at best buy?

    The new iPod has just begun shipping to people that ordered them online directly from Apple. Expect another 2-3 weeks at least before stores have them.

  • Does the white ipod touch get dirty easily?

    Does the white ipod touch get dirty easily?

    Yes, both scratch just as easily. Buy one, and buy a case. DONT use it untill you have the case, mine was "scuffed up" after only 2 days of use. Keep it in the wrapper and keep the little plastic 'film' that covers the front, leave that on as well. Then put all of that in a case (marware.com , buy a sport case for like $10) and if you do that it should be bullet proof. It even absorbes shocks, so you can drop it a lot.

  • Does the new iPod touch with iOS5 come with the dual core A5 processor?

    If the new iPhone 4s is able to pack a dual core A5 processor into the phone, shouldn't the iPod be able to? I wanna buy a new iPod cause mine crashes a lot but I'm not sure I want another one with just a single core processor...Did Apple announce anything at the keynote about this or something? I didn't watch it through cause it was long so I'm not sure what to expect. Thanks if you can answer it(:

    From the information provided by Apple, the only differences between the new iPod Touch and the 4G released last year is the lower price and the addition of a white color.

    Hook it up to itunes and check the version. If it lists in the info that it is 5.0 or 5.0.1, then your ipod has imessage.
    If it turns out that an update is available, apply the update. Check your ipod version from Settings > General > About. Anything lower than iOS 5 won't have iMessage.

    Gave my grandsons iPods for Xmas. Looks like one of them downloaded an app (text+) and must/may have deleated on hisiPod the iMessage app that was included on both with both iPods.
    I want to ditch this new app (text+) and return iMessage to his phone as they both are wifi only and iMessaget is what they should both use. Ialso have a iPad (wifi only) and a iphone (both on iOS5) and a MacBook on 10.7.2
    Any help as to how to do this (I would prefer not to due a full restore to the affected iPod if possible)

  • Will iPod touch 4 cases work on the new iPod touch in white?

    I bought a white iPod touch and a case for the 4th gen iPod touch at the Apple Store thinking it would fit because it is really a 4th gen right? I never had a 4th gen (had 3rd gen) so I'm not sure if it's new but is the power button moved down or something along the back for 4th gen? The case I bought doesn't seem to manage to get this button and it's annoying. :/

    Are you sure there are actual differences between this year's and last year's 4g iPod?  Maybe the case you go is not really right.  The following lists the dimension of the iDevices so that manufacturers can design cases.  It only has one drawing for the 4G iPod. It does include a drawing for the iPhone 4s.
