It is taking FOREVER to backup my ipod touch 4th g

last night i tried and i started at about 9pm and at 3 am it had barely moved. maybe 5 cm. and so far it's been 2 hrs and maybe 2 cm. what can i do? i am dying a slow death over here. all i want is the new io5. is there ANYTHING that i can do to speed this up? at this rate it will take me probably 24-48 hours

I have never heard about that for an unjailbroken iPod.

  • When you backup an ipod touch 4th generation, Does it also back up the music

    I have a ipod touch 4th generation and i have backed it up onto my brothers laptop about 1 week before i broke the plug for the screen on the motherboard, So now its getting repaired just need to get the parts for it to get it fixed. Since i have backed it up will it also backup my music and photos, im not worried about everything else just i dont want to find all the music all over again

    The statement "(it's not actually part of the backup but will automatically be redownloaded from the iTunes store when you restore)." only applies if you restore from an iCloud backup. If yo restore from an iPod backup made by iTunes you have to manually redownload the music

  • My iPod touch 4th gen keeps asking for my iCloud password and it won't backup to my iCloud anymore.

    My iPod touch 4th gen 8gb started to ask me for my iCloud password multiple times even when I put the correct password multiple times. I also checked my iCloud on my iPod and said that the latest backup to iCloud is unknown and says that my iCloud storage details are currently unavailable. Try again later. My iphone 4 also backs up to my iCloud but works perfectly fine. I can't get my email anymore on my iPod either. This started like yesterday and was working fine for a long time.

Without having to backup and save my apps onto the current hard drive because there's no space left on it. Thanks!

  • Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24?Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6 when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the backup?

    Is it still possible to downgrade from ios 6 to ios 5.1.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen as of Sept.24? Also, if I use a backup created AFTER updating to ios 6, when I restore/downgrade to ios 5.1.1, does it become ios 6 again because of the version of ios 6 that I created the backup on?

    There has never been a legit way to downgrade.
    It will always restore to the latest available software.

  • My iPod touch 4th generation won't backup to my computer?

    When I connect with iTunes or try to manually backup my iPod touch with iTunes onto my computer I get a message pop up saying 'iTunes could not back up the iPod "Anastasia's" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPod. Delete the back up for this iPod, then try again'
    However I don't know how to delete the backup or why I'm getting this message. The last time it backed up automatically was the 25/02/2013 at 20:06 and my iPod software is up to date with iOS 6.1.2.
    Moreover on the 13th of January this year I connected to my iTunes and my iPod wiped all my songs off my iPod and reset my bookmarks, Internet history, notes, apps,pictures everything back to the beginning of August 2012. What is happening to my iPod?
    If it helps I can still bookmark, go on the Internet, save pictures and notes and put photos music and videos onto my iPod but I just cannot back it up.

    See:
    iOS: Troubleshooting backup issues in iTunes
    To delete the backup go to iTunes>Preferences>Device and highlight the backup and thnat click on Delete.

  • I broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says i need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can i do

    hey i broke the screen on my ipod touch 4th Gen and im trying to do a backup on the data but it says I need to enter a passcode on my ipod but the screen dosent work so what can I do.

    You can't backup the iPod t iTunes then. You will have to use an existing iTunes backup.
    If iCloud backup is turned on and the iPod is still working (not disabled), the iPod will automatically backup daily if an internet connection is available and the iPod is connected to a charging source.

  • What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

    What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
    without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
    6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
    It has not worked since that day.  It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
    iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does.  itunes does not
    recognize the iPod.  My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device. 
    Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
    computer it did not recognize the iPod
    I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something.  The depression prohibited me from taking action.
    I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
    sources.  I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
    Apple employees etc etc.  I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
    number procedure using only button on the iPod.  These were unsuccessful
    also have performed.
    Please do not ask me to do the usual.
    Online I saw  a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
    reformat 
    the iPod.  It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
    etc.  I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
    I have lost contact with him.  This is the procedure, I believe, that with
    enable me to update and use the iPod. 

    You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
    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 and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    Otherwise
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    To restore from backup see:

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th gen. iTunes sync hasn't been working.

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation. I have the latest version of iTunes but it keeps getting stuck on this one song. The song is "Homewrecker" by Marina and the Diamonds. After signing up for their mailing list on the official artist website you get a free MP3 download of that song. Well, it comes up on my computer but won't sync to my iPod. It takes forever and acts like it's finished downloading but then iTunes freezes. If I finally get it to finish the sync, it doesn't sync the song to my iPod. There is an exclamation point that pops up by my device sign; when I click on it iTunes says the file "cannot be read." Also, I've noticed apps crashing more frequently. Is this because they're optimized for devices aboves 4th gen. with iOS 7? I can only have iOS 6 on my iPod. I've had it around 3 years now and it usually works just fine. Is anybody else experiencing that message in iTunes or apps crashing frequently? Any and all suggestions will be gladly appreciated!

    This "There is an exclamation point that pops up by my device sign; when I click on it iTunes says the file "cannot be read." " means there is a prob;lem with the song file. Delete and reimport/redownload.
    For apps crashing:
    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Next
    - 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.
    - Restore from backup. See:

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
