My daughter has a ipod touch 4 generation. It is running iOs 6.1.3. The problem is that it loses its data and reverts back to a new ipod at least twice a week.

My daughter has a ipod touch 4 gen. It is running iOS 6.1.3. It shuts down and reverts back to being a brand new ipod. We then connect to computer and restore to a backup. It works fine for a few days and then does the same thing again. How do I fix this? She got it for Christmas last year. We don't want to spend the next few years doing this twice a week. All help is appreciated.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

I have just purchased a lightning to 30 pin adaptor to use on an iPad mini and a gen5 iPod touch both devices are running iOS 8.1.3 and come up with The error message "this accessory is not supported by this device "
THis is means they are not charging on a 30 pin cable and the touch won't work in my Apple iPod dock - no audio out or charge. Have re powered both devices to no avail am wondering if the iOS version is the problem
Help!

If it is a lightning to 30 pin adaptor, and you have a 7th Generation Nano it has to fit the Nano.
This is lightning to 30 pin adapter: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Apple%26%23174%3B---Lightning-to-30-Pin-Adapter/6651 936.p?id=1218803450821&skuId=6651936#tab=overview
Is this what you bought?
You need to contact Sony and see if they model you have is compatible with the docking adapter. It may not be.

After being connected to a charging source overnight 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.

My ipod touch is disabled what can i do to fix the problem?

my ipod touch is disabled what can i do to fix the problem?

Connect in recovery mode and restore, explained in these articles: iOS: Unable to restore and iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

IPod touch 5 lag issue running iOS 8.1 ( PLEASE RESOLVE THIS ASAP)

OMG, i'm just fed up of using this iPod 5 after this new update of apple's iOS 8.1. I did checkout iOS 8.1.1 but as it bought no changes to the performance i just downgraded it back to iOS 8.1. Well performance really matters on a device. The day i updated it to iOS 8, my iPod 5's performance has been sluggish and worse when compared to the old iOS 7.1.2 . If i had chance to downgrade it now i would do it asap but unfortunately there isn't any way but to suffer with this new sluggish iOS 8.1. If there is someway that apple can help us then its by increasing the performance on such A5 devices like iPhone 4S, iPad..., iPod touch 5, then please help us. If i ask this question "Is there anyway to increase or speed up my performance of my iPod 5", Then the reply from you people would be to either buy a new device by dumping this or to remove background apps,reduce motion etc. (WHICH I HAVE ALREADY DONE.) and the performance is WORSE or UNBEARABLE on this device after updating to iOS 8 - iOS 8.1. When i just tap settings it takes about 3 - 4 secs or more to show up which is too bad. Please try to solve this issue on older devices running A5 chip by either giving us an another opportunity to downgrade to iOS 6 or 7 (PLEASE) or by improving this current OS performance issue just like iOS 7. I request you to solve this issues for the people like us who are an APPLE fan and still using devices running A5 chip and we just like it so much but please don't let us hate it by making it's performance worse. Yes, i do know that the all new iOS 8 was made for the newer devices running new CHIP, but then why did the update just come up for devices running A5 chip then if it would ruin the performance? Or was this is a marketing strategy to make our device's performance unbearable and worse so we hate it and buy a new device so you can increase your sales? Everyone cannot afford a device just like that as time goes. I further pledge you people to solve this sluggish performance issue on these older device who got this iOS 8 updates (RUNNING A5 chip).
Thank You for your time for reading my message.

How do I keep the music from my old 1st gen mini and put it on my new ipod touch without loosing it. the computer I used to load the mini was stolen quite some time ago????

How do I keep my music from my old 1st gen ipod mini when the computer that I originally loaded it with was stolen more than 5 years ago and transfer all the music onto my new ipod touch? My fear has always been that plugging my mini into another computer and attempting to download more music onto it or take what's on there off will end up erasing all of it because of file sharing regs. I would really prefer not to have to repurchase several hundred dollars of music as many of the original cd's that I used to download have been either lost or damaged over the years. Is there anything I can do????

HT201210 My ipod touch won't update to iOS 6, it says unknown problem occured

My ipod touch is the 4th gen and currently has iOS 5 installed on it. It has 10 GB of free space
Please answer ASAP

You can try a reset.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Otherwise yo will have to update via iTunes on a computer. Other uses have had to do that.
- fyou update on other than your syncing computer/iTunes library following these instructions. When you restore the iPod it will also be updated.

HT1766 My mom changed my passcode on the ipod touch 8gb, i have severally tried to unlock it with different codes but it didn't worked and it got disabled using my ipod touch 8gb, however i have restored my ipod touch 8gb fully, and i still get passcode s

pleaseee help me out it's soo frenetic and i love my ipod to bits, i need to start using it again coz it has my lecture notes on it from University LOL i know sounds weird but i need it asap thx , softaware version is actually 4. 3.5

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

HT201407 My daughters ipod touch 4 gen, ios 6.1.3 restarts at least twice a week, it is less than a year old. What do I do?

My daughter has a ipod touch 4 generation. It is running iOs 6.1.3. The problem is that it loses its data and reverts back to a new ipod at least twice a week. We connect it to the computer and restore it and it works fine for a few days and then we have to do the whole thing again. If we are not near our computer then we are screwed until we get home. It is less than a year old. I don't want to have to restore every few days for the next several years. All help is greatly appreciated.

A). This is the iPhone forum.
B). If it's less than a year old, it's under warranty. Make an appointment at the genius bar and get it taken care of under warranty.

I have not not seen that reported in this forum before.

How do I fix? -iPod Touch Generation 4 frozen and jammed

I have an iPod Touch Generation 4 and the sleep button/lock screen button is jammed. I can't fix the jam no matter what and I've tried everything said online and such. I got a notification from an app and slid open, tapped in correct code, and the app opened immediately like usual. So when you rotate your iPod, the screen turns right? The screen was horizontal so I flipped the iPod vertically and it didn't move so I tried again because, hey, might be lagging. Nope. For a good three minutes it stayed on the same screen. Slowly, the screen began to grey and fade and then it got all distorted and you can only see green and grey lines (green because that's the app's main color). Anyway, I don't mind the jam that's not the problem, I have it so you can press the dot on the screen to get it to go to the lock screen. The only problem is my ipod is completely frozen and I have my contacts, passwords, photos, music, ect on that ipod and I need it. Please help me?

Wow the customer service is even worse. Does Apple want me to go around jailbreaking my iPod now so I can use something that actually recognizes my product?
