My iPod Touch 4 responds and runs VERY slowly, it is probably not even a year old, is restoring it the only option?

My iPod runs VERY slowly, I preordered it when the first white iPods came out. Even typing here it can't keep up, I know if you have less than 6 GB left on your memory it supposedly runs slowly so I deleted stuff and have 13 GB left, I also always close my apps every few hours and my apps always shut down unexpectedly or even before the app can get to the main screen. I do not want to but a new one at all and my dad suggests restoring it and putting it to its original settings but I'm afraid I'll lose my smurfs village and tiny tower. So is restoring your iPod the only way to improve the speed or are there other things?

Try backing up the iPod and then restoring friom backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iTunes backup make sure that all you synced media like apps and music are in your iTunes library since synced media is not in the backup. You iPod will be like it was, included app data like saved games, when the backup was made.

  • Laptop not even a year old and the power cord is stripping really bad and barely working

    My toshiba laptop is not even a year old and the part of the cord closest to my computer is becoming really stripped. I noticed that it got very hot during pc use, I just assumed that was normal, but I'm starting to think that this heat made the rubber very soft and caused the cord to strip. I guess my question is, do you think toshiba will replace this or will they just say that it was my fault that it happened?

    You can either use a cloud service like Google Drive, or use the built in Verizon Cloud Backup, or you could plug the phone into a computer and use it like a USB drive and copy the photos from there to the PC.  Your contacts are backup up through Google if you've been saving contacts to your Google account, otherwise Verizon has a backup on the phone as well and when you restart the phone after wipe you can select either or both accounts to restore from.
    To factory Reset:  Go to Settings (pull down notification bar click on gear top right corner).  Then go to Back up and Reset.  At the bottom is Factory data reset.  Press that then press reset phone.  It WILL be completely wiped, but it will keep the current OS version.  It'll be like you just bought it.

  • Why is Firefox taking up a lot of CPU and running very slowly?

    For the past week my Firefox (and also Chrome) have been running very slowly. Any time a page loads the CPU column in Task Manager shoots up to between 10-20 when it's usually at 00, and it sends my cpu fans into overdrive until the page is loading.
    Pictures load very slowly, and busy pages are even worse, such as Weather channel pages or Gawker blog articles. I've run MSE, Malwarebytes, I've run Firefox in safe mode, nothing is working. I'm really beginning to get frustrated because it's making any kind of browsing at all very unenjoyable.

    Safe Mode didn't make any difference?
    Run all Windows Updates, install all needed service packs, etc.
    Update your graphics driver (Firefox uses your graphics card for some rendering, and an out of date graphics card driver can cause problems. [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-upgrade-my-graphics-drivers].

  • I have a ipod touch 5 and when i was loading it up to my computer i chose to restore my last ipod, which had no camera. After all my music was loaded all of my photos i had taken with my ipod had been deleted. Is there any way i could get photos back?

    I have a ipod touch 5 and when i was loading to my computer i chose to restore my data from my last ipod which did not have a camera. Then after all my music was uploaded i noticed that all the pictures i had taken on my new ipod had been deleted. I think it may be because i chose to restore my last ipod which no photos on it. I was wondering if there is any way to restore my lost photos?

    If you backed up the iPod before restoring it then restore from that backup. See the restore topic of:
    iOS: How to back up
    Also, if yoo have that backup you can extract the photos by:
    Recover iPhone, iPad or iPod photos from backups with Picturescue
    If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:

  • I have bought an iPod touch 4g and installed TomTom Europe app. How do I get a decent GPS signal, since the TomTom carkit doesn't do the job?

    I have bought an iPod Touch 4g and installed TomTom Europe GPS app. How do I get a decent GPS signal in my car, since the TomTom car kit for Ipod Touch doesn't do the job for the ipod Touch 4g?

    Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.
    Also see:
    Recover Older Versions of iPhone Apps After Updating — Apple News, Tips and Reviews
    The bakup that iTunes makes does not included synced media like apps and music.
    If you still have the one 2G with the Netflix app, delete the new NetFlix app from her computer anf then transfer iTunes purchased to the iTunes library by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Then sync to her iPod. You may have to sign the iPod into the account that purchased it to sync it.

  • Ipod Touch 5G- WiFi is very slow or won't work, even with 3 bars and stood next to the hub. Is there a problem with iOS 6.0.1? Any one know a way to fix it?

    Even with 3 signal bars on a 11mb/s connection. It takes more then 3 mintues to load Google fully!
    It works fine loading one page then goes back to being slow or no excitant. It seems to start working again after using speed test.
    At first i thought it was the case but after removing it there was no difference
    I have tried every thing i could think like:
    1. Turing it off and on again
    2. A complete restore and backup. (Done this about 3 times)
    I'm not sure if the new iOS 6.0.1 up date has caused this as it seemed to work fine for about a week after.
    Any help would be appreciated!

    I have same problem:
    I saw another topic on this but it was a couple of months old. Last month I purchased a ipod touch 5g. It runs great except the speedtest tops out at about .3 mbps down and 5 mbps up.  I don't understand what is going on. All my other wifi: Macs, ipod touch 4, ipad 2 & 3, etc work fine and get great speed of 9-15 mbps down and 5 mbps up. I can barely watch an Amazon video. Sometimes it goes fast but that is few and far between. I have tried resetting the network on it. I adusted my router for all the recomendations by Apple.
    It was suggested to remove the security on the router just to test it. I did that but it made no difference. This happens whether I'm close (10' or less) or farther away. Is there something I'm missing or do I need to return it?
    I keep seeing something about iOS 6.0.2 but my iPod Touch says I'm up to date at 6.0.1
    thanks,
    Bryce

  • IPod touch 3g is running very slow!

      I have the most current software, no apps are running.  Any suggestions?

    Thanks, I will try to restore from backup and see if it helps.  If not I will have to get a new iPod.  I just with they would come out with the 5G so it would make more sense to upgrade.

  • Lost ipod touch 5 and want to track down but does not activated find my phone, can we track by the apple id some how?

    My ipod touch got stolen, i want to find out by my apple id, could it be possible without find my phone, activated?

    No app on the iPod is required.                           
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or conbtinue to show off-line.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    iCloud: Erase your device
    iCloud: Use Lost Mode
    - 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 unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • I Tunes freezing and running very slowly. Songs stopping during playback.

    I just downloaded the latest I tunes update, now it's running even slower than it was yesterday and this message keeps popping up "The I Tunes library file cannot be saved. An unknown error occurred. (-50)" It has been getting worse and worse, it keeps stopping during the playing of songs and now is having a very hard time downloading purchased music from the I Tunes Store. I am very afraid I am heading for a BIG crash. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I Tunes is freezing and it takes several minutes to come back on a play 15 seconds worth of a song and then it quits again. This is very frustrating as I have spent hundreds of hours in I tunes and the music is very important to me, as I am sure it is to everyone!

    Hi!
    I'm a little confused by your response...what exactly do you mean when you state that the files in question won't "leave the music folder area"?
    In the meantime you might run Disk Utility (in "Utilities" in the "Applications" folder) and repair permissions.
    Also "get info" on the respective files and examine whether the "locked" checkbox is checked or not( make sure it isn't). While you're there, also check "ownership and permissions" to ensure that "read and write" are selected.
    Let me know!

  • My computer is 3 years old and runs very slowly. Is it time for a new computer, or just more RAM?

    I don't want to invest in a brand new computer, but I've never installed RAM, so I don't know how it affects the computer and whether that will really help me or not.

    I recently rejuvenated a MacBook by adding more memory and a faster disk.  I am pleased with the results.   For me, it was a good $200 investment ($100 memory + $100 disk).
    What model MBP do you have (size, season and year) (e.g, 13” Mid 2010)?
    You can find this information at  > About This Mac > More Info...
    It came with 4 GB of RAM, unless it is the low end of the original 2009 model which came with 2.  MBP memory is upgradeable to at lest 8 GB (~$100).
    Installation is not hard, especially if you purchase this $5 toolkit that has the necessary tiny screwdriver.
    http://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TOOLKITMHD/
    See the installation instructions
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1270
    and/or videos at OWC (macsales.com) or ifixit.com.
    OWC (macsales.com) and Crucial are good sources for memory.
    The other common upgrade is to replace the disk with a faster one.  The hybrid SSHD drives are now much faster than standard 5400 RPM drives.  They are also easy to replace.  OWC is having a sale on these for $100, including a handy installation kit. (Seagate 1 TB hybrid SSHD 2.5”)

  • HT4623 After I updated my iPad using my computer, it has started to lag a lot and run very slowly. Why is it doing this and is there any way to make it stop lagging?

    I updated my iPad mini last night using my laptop (I usually update it on the iPad itself) and after the update, the iPad has been slow and laggy ever since. When I try to type something, it freezes up and may not actually show that i typed it for another minute or two. Even if I close all my apps and restart it, the problem is still there. Does anybody know what's going on and/or how to solve this problem?
