My iPod Touch 4G won't install apps.

It just hangs on the "waiting" grey boxes part and doesn't go any further. what do I do? I already reset to factory settings once.
I'm using OS 4.3.5.

I went there before coming here and none of those things helped. (I tried every one.) The Dragon Dictation app, which I tried to update, is still stuck in the "waiting" mode. I'm still waiting for the restore from backup to complete.
ETA: The restore worked! However, I'm still unable to update from my iPod or from iTunes. I'll try later.

IPod Touch 3 won't update apps

iPod Touch 3 won't update apps. When I respond to the notice of an available update, the icon dims and a "waiting" message appears under it. It will hang like that until I delete it and reinstall the new app. I had another problem that has been resolved when I tried to get more episodes of a podcast, I ended up with 11 of them in the queue that wouldn't ever finish. They too would just hang there. I had to delete them all and get them through iTunes. I don't know how to upgrade the apps from iTunes though. Why is this happening just since I upgraded to ios 5.0.1?

If We Update 2nd Gen Ipod Touch From 3.1.3 To Higher Level WilL It Slow my iPod :/
I suppose that's debatable.
My iPod does ocassionaly take a few seconds to carry out a command, but since it is such a powerful device, capable of so much, I'm prepared to wait two extra seconds.
(I have 2nd generation iPod Touch with iOS 4.2.1 on it.)
By the way, since your question has no connection to the one asked by the original poster, it would have been far wiser for you to create your own thread. That way, you are actually more likely to get responsess to your question.

IPod touch (4G) won't restore apps from backup

I just updated my iPod Touch (4th generation) to from iOS 4 to iOS 6. I had previously made a full backup. I've tried restoring from it, but it won't restore my apps and app data. I know I can redownload the apps, but I need the app data; I had some very valuable data saved and I'm very upset. What am I doing wrong?

Synced media like apps and music are not inlcuded in the backup that iTunes makes. If the apps are not in the iTunes library there is not place for the apps data, whic is in the backup, to go.
Download the apps to your iTunes library:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
and restore from backup again.

IPod touch 4g won't download apps anymore and facebook won't work

One day my iPod touch suddenly stopped downloading apps. I thought it wasn't because it hadn't been updated so i updated it but the problem still continues. I have no clue what's gone wrong but it won't update anymore saying, 'error 1004 please try again later.' so i tried again later, and later and still the problem occurs. Also my facebook app hasn't been working well with the newsfeed not appearing and i can't write statuses anymore. it won't show me any new notifications or messages, but i'm guessing thats down to facebook, but I don't know why it's doing it so any helpful answers would be much appreciated? Any help?

Ipod Touch 2nd gen not installing any apps from the app store

My iPod touch isnt letting me install any new apps or any updates. It is letting me get to the stage where it is on the pages, but thenstopps at the Waiting stage and going no further. Can anybody help me to get rid of this problem?

Go to Settings, General, Reset, Reset Network Settings. You'll have to reenter your network login info, but it should work after that.

Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod. For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

IPod Touch 4G won't sync at all

My iPod Touch 4G won't sync at all when I plug it into a different computer. It'll warn "erase all content and replace it with this computer's library" or whatever that message is, so I click ok, then it'll say "preparing to sync (step 1 of 3)", then "determining apps to sync (step 2 of 3)", then nothing happens, whatever step 3 of 3 is doesn't even appear. Already authorized this computer, also did a hard reset.
Does anyone know what's happening?
And "restore to factory settings" is the last thing I want to do so no need to answer with that. I doubt it's anything wrong with the iPod anyways as it synced fine the last time I used it, which was back in the iTunes 10.x days.

The message means that something happened to your computer files and now the iPod thinks that the iTunes library is a different library. You need to do the following:

If all the synced media is already on the compute all yo have to do is backup the iPod and restore from that backup.

I have an iPod touch and an iPad4. iTunes lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't show me what's on the iPad. Any ideas?

I have an iPod Touch and an iPad4. iTunes recognises both items and lets me work with the iPod Touch but won't work with the iPad. In fact iTunes does not respond to clicking on anything in the iPad window even though it knows that it's connected. Any ideas?

Look her and it may give insite on what is missing. Otherwise:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99. Likely not worth it for a your iPod. They do not fix yours.

You can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.

My iPod Touch (3G) won't turn on?

I've owned my iPod Touch since June 30th, 2010 (a little over a year). I am no longer under the warranty, so I know that if my iPod is broken, I will have to pay. My iPod has been dropped several times, it has cracks in the screen, but the screen hasn't chipped away like others. It's never been dropped in water, so I don't think water is the problem. I'm also positive the headphone jack is broken, as several pairs of working headphones have not worked on it unless a decent amount of pressure is applied. Anyways, back to the major problem. My iPod will not turn on. I'll hold the power and home button, and the apple logo will come up, but it won't take me to the lock screen, it will simply go black again. It won't charge at all, and the only time I can successfully turn it on is when the iPod is "charging". However, the second I unplug it, it goes all black. All help is appreciated!! Thanks!

Same problem here - Ipod touch 3G won't turn on. I've tried reseting - but absolutely no response and when I try to restore, before it completes the restore, error 1600 comes up. This is my daughter's ipod and we've tried all of this after plugging in to a wall charger overnight and then using a pc and then mac and still nothing. Any suggestions?
