Lag on 4th gen iOS 5

Hello everyone. On my iPod touch I am experiencing large amounts of lag when doing everything. This has started after I updated to ios 5 and is very annoying. Has anyone found a fix yet?

I am not aware of any real fix. Powering off and then back on seems to help for a while since it frees up some memory. Remberer iOS 5 iPods only have 256 MB of memory.

ITunes always wants to restore my iPod Touch (4th gen, IOS 5.1.1) constantly

I have an iPod Touch 4th gen, IOS 5.1.1
When I plug it into iTunes, I get an eror message saying:
"iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Go to the Summary tap in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings."
I have restored my iPod like the message says, but once it is done restoring and I have unplugged it from the computer, the next time I plug it in the message comes up again. I have tried reseting both from backup and as a new iPod.
Please Help!

Problems, trying to use backup from 5.1.1 iOS Gen 3 iPod does not sync music to 4th gen iOS 6 iPod.

My 3rd Gen iPod's headphone connector is basically shot, I've had it for around if not over two years now; sometimes I'm surprised it lasted this long; since I am not one who usually listens to her music without headphones, this is problematic, .
Luckily, a family memberI know had a gen 4 iPod, 32g, same space amount as my old one, lying around that they don't use anymore, thank goodness.
Well, in one case, not so much. First of all, said iPod was locked with a passcode (the passcode was guessed so many times because no one could remember it, it locked permenantly) so I had to completely wipe it. However, it wasn't so bad, though all the information was lost, I could finally use iOS 6 on an iPod.
Well, iOS turned out to be a huge problem, in the way of synicing my old backup. I have about, um, an estimated 3000 songs on my 3rd gen iPod, that of which are not all on one computer, and are from multiple computers (my desktop / laptop); I thought all the songs would transfer over with the rest of my things. I didn't think the iOS made a difference.
Lo and behold, I was dead wrong.
When my iPod was restored to my previous backup, it had no music, only my pictures and apps were added. I'd call 'it annoyed me' an understatement. I waited all that time for the ipod to restore and the backup to finish, only to get my one hundered pictures and two apps.
I have tried to look up how to extract music from my iPod, but to no avail, my computer recognizes it as a camera and I can only access the picture files; the way I read you have to do it online, you must be able to actually get into the iPod's folders, besides the picture folders, and I can't seem to do that; there was an option in earlier versions of iTunes that allowed the iPod device to be displayed as something other than a camera but it no longer seems to be an option in the new iTunes.
All the programs for extracting files, specialized for iPod file extraction, actually, cost money, which at the moment, I don't have much of, this iPod was given to me by a family member, and I'm lucky I even have it. Manual extraction is also something I've tried but failed miserably at, as mentioned earlier.
I'm really not up for re-synching one by one, I want this to be as quick and painless as possible. I have the available GB for my 3000 songs (I checked). Most of my songs are mp3s, and some are m4as. Not everything is bought, and not everything is going to be able to be downloaded through iCloud on account of the fact that there are, uh, over 2GB worth of songs, so does anyone have any solutions to my problem here? I have over 50gb in my desktop library alone, loads more in my laptop library, and I really don't feel like separating all the songs from my previous iPod into a single playlist, if there's a more efficient, free solution out there....
This would not have been a problem in the first place, if the passcode was not there; but blame the previous owner of the 4th gen iPod for that. She typed it so many times it locked her out. And so, I had to reset, but not without an automatic update for iOS 6, which my gen3 can't update to, because it's, well, outdated.

Connect the iPod to your computer and update to iOS 6.1.3. You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later

Location Service Problem! I Moved To A New House, and Used The Same Wifi, But My iPod Touch(4th Gen. iOS 6) Is Still Using My Old Location/Address and Not My New One, How Do I Fix This?

I Moved From New York To Florida, But Kept The Same WiFi/Router, But The Maps App and My iPod Touch(4th Gen. & iOS 6) Is Still Registering My Location In New York.

For location the iPod uses the location of nearby routers that are in Apple's database of routers and their location. Thus it appears that Apple's database is incorrect. You do not have to be connected to the router, just within range.
Apple periodically updates their database based on information they obtain from iPhones, The iPhone has to have turned on the option to send info to Apple. no one has found another way to get the location of a router added/corrected.
You can confirm that by going to well-know place with wifi like Starbucks or McDonalds

IPod Touch 4th Gen - iOS 5 problems?

I'm sure I'm the ONLY person in the WORLD having issues, but ever since I updated my 4th gen iPod touch to iOS 5 I have regular sync problems, it is slow to respond when coming out of the screen locked position and it for some reason when it did decide to sync it sync'ed stuff in my iTunes that was not checked. I know that I'm an iIdiot, but is there ANYONE else on Earth experiencing similar difficulties? Is it possible to roll back the OS to the previous release?
I appreciate any and all comments.
Regards,
Frustrated in Fairless Hills

Not like you quite but I can empathize.
When I loaded iOS 5 onto my ipod Touch (5th gen I think) i suddenly lost space to "others" about 5Gb which is significant on a 32Gb ipod.
I had to do a complete reset through itunes and now I have loaded back about 150 songs of 5000 in about 2 hours.... I am flying to Australia tomorrow morning I onder what I will have to listen to !!!

"Facetime failed" messages on my iPod Touch (4th gen, iOS 5)

I have a 4th gen iPod touch running on iOS 5 and I can't connect with anyone on FaceTime. I've tried calling friends on their iPhones (using their phone number) and friends on their iPod Touches (using their email address) and each time, I get a "facetime falied" message. I've tried turning FaceTime off/on again, but it still won't work. I've also reset my iPod touch and it still won't work. I also get the "not delivered" message when I try to contact my friends through iMessage. My wifi network is very strong and I can connect on Skype, yahoo messenger and many other apps that need an internet connection without any problems. Any suggestions?

UPDATE: I changed the DNS server settings to Google's DNS (8.8.8.8) and now I can send/receive messages from other people's iMessage accounts, but where I was able to send/receive messages from myself, I'm no longer able to. It's now working at 95%, but I'd like to have it at 100%. Any suggestions or advice?

IPod Touch 4th Gen. iOS 5.1.1 - Sleep Mode and Other Questions

Hello,
I have an iPod Touch 4th generation with iOS 5.1.1
1) RE: Sleep Mode - I found this on another thread and it's regarding iOS 4.3.1.
Is the same still true for iOS 5.1.1?
If so, what is recommended for sleep mode - Airplane mode or Wi-Fi off - or is either one ok?
Wi-Fi is always ON with the 4th generation model running 4.3.1 when it is sleeping unless you either turn off the Wi-Fi or turn Airplane mode ON.
2) I only use my iPod Touch on my home Wi-Fi and do not use any cloud based syncing or iTunes Wi-Fi Sync. I do all my syncing manually from my MacBook Pro via USB to the iPod Touch. The way I do things is purchase what I need from my MacBook Pro via iTunes and then manually sync it to the iPod Touch. But there may be times, in the future, where I would want to purchase directly from the iPod Touch.
I recently updated my AppleID with my new email address via my MacBook Pro. But, I noticed that on my iPod Touch under "Settings" "Store" that it still shows my old AppleID. I have all Automatic Downloads set to OFF. How do I update the iPod Touch to reflect my new AppleID?
3) When I'm using Safari and I navigate to several websites, how do I easily get back to my home page (which is set to Yahoo!)?
Probably a dumb question but I can't seem to figure it out. I've set Yahoo! to my homepage but I would think there should be or is (and can't find it) a button/icon like on my MacBook Pro Safari to take me directly back to the homepage.
Thanks in advance for the help!

- Unless you use bluetooth, airplane mode and wifi off are the same as regards to battery drain. I like use airplane mode sinc that is directly under Settings.
- Go to Settngs>Store and sign out of existing account and sign in with the updated one
- I have no idea for the Safari question

IPod Touch 4th gen iOS 6.0.1 keeps crashing

Hello
My iPod keeps crashing when I open certain apps, like the App Store and also a magazine that I subscribe to that has its own app. I have to close all the open apps and then do a reset (hold down both on/off switch and the home button).
This solves the problem, but it's frustrating to have to do it every couple of days.
Any idea what the problem is?
- too many apps "open"?
- iOS 6.0.1 running on a 4th generation iPod Touch?
- too many apps on my device? (I have 2.8 GB free of 32 GB total)
- something else?
Any suggestions/advice/information will be appreciated.

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

Touch 4th gen iOS 6 wont play music through dock

hey my sister has a 4th generation iPod touch, which has been upgraded to iOS6, and for the first time since upgrading she connected it to her dock.
However when connected to the dock, the dock charges the ipod, but the sound continues to come out the speakers of the ipod, and the dock says "NOiP" meaning "no ipod connected"
is this a new feature of iOS6 or what? i am have tried an iPod classic and iPod nano and they both work perfectly fine, so its not the dock or the connection, but im unable to try anything else running iOs6 because i've got an iPhone 5, and we all know that difficulty there...
need help ASAP so she stops bugging me.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost

If still problem that points to that the iOS update broke compatibility. That happens sometimes. If so then you will have to wait for an update either to the iPod or dock.

On my iPod touch, (4th gen, iOS 6.1.5) it won't let me get into my purchase history. It says loading in the middle of the screen for like 3 seconds then just goes blank. What is the solution to this problem?

It won't work because I really want to get flappy bird back!!

IPod Touch 4th Gen (iOS ver 6.1.3) wifi cuts in and out. No other devices affected.

It was fine up until a few days ago when I noticed the wifi turning off while asleep (I was missing many notifications). Yesterday I noticed the wifi coming and going under normal use (in the middle of messages, checking weather, looking on Facebook, etc).
I've done the following to no avail:
Turned device off and on.
Turned wifi off and on.
Renewed lease.
Forget network and rejoin.
Turn wifi off and on.
Reset network settings.
Nothing is helping and it's frustrating trying to keep in touch with my family (via Facetime and iMessage) when the wifi doesn't stay on long enough to send a short message. My home button doesn't work, so I haven't been able to try and restart that way (holding home and power button simultaniously).
Also, my iPod is the only device in my home that is affected. My laptop, 3DS, and Wii, as well as my roommate's laptop, iPhone, iPad Mini, and PS3 are unaffected. These devices are all usually used at the same time and we've never had an issue before (even when friends bring over their devices).
Any help would be appreciated, as for this thing is the main way I keep in touch with my family (they all live out of town).

Did you power off and then back on the router?
Have you tried different locations since maybe interference is causing the problem.
Does it happen when connected to other networks?
- 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.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 4th gen ios 6.1.2

i got problem with this device..i cant use google maps because it cannot determined my location..whenever i try to open maps it says your location cannot be determined..im connected to wifi router and tried to reset the device location services and turn on location services too! but still cannot detect my location..i tried opening goolge maps on my iphone 3gs ios 6.1 using same wifi router and my phone able to detect my location..is there any problem with my ipod touch? i tried to restore my ipod already but still give me this error! help please! ( location: metro manila philippines)

Go to a wel known place like Starbucks and see if location works, If it does, then that convirms that your router is not in Apple's database.
. Apple continuously updates their database based on data it obtains from iPhones. No one has found a way to tell apple to correct/add a wifi router to their database.
