My Ipod touch is taking such a long time to do a Software update 7.0.6 I dont know whatt do do! Its been pass 12 hours
I just went to the apple store to replace my Ipod Touch yesterday. There I began the process of restoring my Ipod. When I got home to continue doing it my apps werent downloading, they just read waiting... So I decided to stop the restoring and my apps still did the same thing. I researched and completely stopped all of my apps from downloading and I am just keeping them in my Icloud for now. I was trying to find the thing that was causing for this slowness. I found out that my Ipod is doing a software update of iOS 7.0.6 but its not loading at all. It just says, "Estimating time remaining..." So I think this is the cause? Do I just wait? And for how long? And on the bottom it says Downloading... in gray. PLease help!!
Likely the Apple servers are just busy.
You can 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.
and see what that does.

IPod Touch 16Gb takes an Extraordinary long time to sync
Hi All
I'm hoping that someone can offer an insight to why my iPod Touch is taking so long to sync.
It started happening a several months ago. It takes around 6-8 minutes to sync and I don't have a lot of things on it.
I have iTunes 9.2.0.61, and iOS 4.0 on iPod Touch. It didn't used to that long to sync, so I reset it to factory default condition and then reloaded the software, when I tried again it was the same.
I have recently changed the software to iOS 4, and updated iTunes but that makes no difference. I have also changed the USB port and cable.
I have iPad and an 80Gb Classic iPod and neither of these take a significant amount of time to sync and are very fast in the order of seconds. (syncing the exact same content)
I have my content stored on a Network Attached storage drive, and when iPod Touch is connected the network activity to the disk is high, but seeing as iPad and iPod Classic collect the same content from the same place its not the network slowing it down.
It would appear its resyncing everything every time.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to help?
Thanks
Shunts...I have the exact same problem. It's beyond ridiculous. I think things actually worked better when I was using 32-bit Vista. Now I'm on 64-bit Windows.
I think Apple just doesn't put the right resources behind Windows apps. It also seems that it's not optimized for multiple processors. Not only does it take forever, but iTunes completely freezes during the process, as if they aren't intermittently giving control back to the UI. -
the title says all
Did you try to reset your device by pressing the sleep and home button for about 10 sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose any data doing a reset.
If this does not work, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

Taking such a long time to open an app. Is this normal?
I recently received my new Blackberry Classic (Verizon Wireless). I love my keyboard and how the email works. But this phone has such long delays while trying to do anything.
I setup my office exchange account.
When I open reminders and select my Tasks folder it takes 20 seconds to load. If I answer a phone call and come back to the reminders I need to wait another 20 seconds. Is this normal? Or is something wrong? Should I reset the phone?
I appreciate any help or input I can get.

One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
Power up
Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

- Try another cable.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Ipod touch 4 i can no longer watch movies, transferred to the ipod, on videos app it simply says loading and then stops. On my ipad mini with older ios it still works. So how can I fix this I have tried converting videos into different formats but it will not work.
Is IOS 8 really appropriate with Ipod Touch 4, if the older Ipods do not have the capability then why are we prompted to install new operating systems.
Thanks.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.
- Unsync/delete all videos and resync

IPod Touch backup taking hours
I have a 64-g iPod Touch 3rd gen running 3.13, and have had it since January 2010. For the last couple of months I have noticed that the backup has been taking a very long time to complete, and only continues to get worse. It took over 8 hours to backup yesterday. I have about 19 g of free space left- most of the space is taken up by music (27 g) and apps (17 g). Is there anyway to speed up the backup process? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!Did you already reset your ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes up again?
Try to copy the photos to your computer and delete them on the ipod. Also delete the photo cache: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314 -

Hi Imminnie,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. If iTunes doesn't recognize your iPod touch, this article may help:

If issues persist, a thorough removal and reinstall of iTunes would be the next thing to try:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8

My iPod Touch Gen 5 will no longer synch with iTunes on my computer. Only change since this happened is update to iPod to OS 8.1.1 iPod synch remains stuck in "Step 8 of 8"
On your computer go to the control panel (hover in the lower right corner) then programs, add/remove programs
Uninstall iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Service, Apple Application Support then go to apple.com and redownload and reinstall iTunes and try again.
You won't lose any content, you're not deleting that, just the programs that access them.
What is thought to happen is that sometimes a new version of itunes doesn't update the drivers in those other two programs. The only way to update the drivers is to force it by uninstalling the programs which allows itunes to write the correct ones.
My iPad and iPod did exactly the same thing and this is how I fixed it. -

The PC’s I use have Windows 7 installed along with the latest version of iTunes. I have
previously deleted all components of iTunes and re-installed. This made no difference. The PC’s do not recognise my iPod in the Windows Device Manager using ‘devmgmt.msc’. and still nothing in iTunes.
Also C:\Program files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers / - do notlist ‘usbaapl64’.
The folders listed are ‘usbaapl.cat’, ‘usbaapl.inf’,‘usbaapl.sys’ and ‘usbaaplrc.dll’.
Whether this makes a difference I do not know.
iTunes doesn’t recognise my iPod either however it recognises my attached iPhones OK
(iTunes/File/Devices) with the options of Sync; Transfer Purchases and Back Up being available.
When my iPod is connected, iTunes shows the File ‘Devices’ sections as being inaccessibly greyed out.
So to reiterate, I have tried multiple computers and a variety of Windows operating systems (but I’m running Windows 7) with absolutely no success; the ‘Device Manager/Universal Serial Bus controllers/Apple Mobile Device USB Driver’ appears with my iPhone but nothing for my iPod; the Apple Mobile Device Support is installed; all my USB cables work OK; the device does not appear in Windows or in iTunes; iTunes has been fully uninstalled and reinstalled; the version of iTunes is up to date; the iOS of the iPod Touch shows it is up to date at version 6.1.6 (and cannot be changed) and even a hard reset has been tried. Everything tried and suggested with complete failure.
I can use a USB port to charge up my iPod and can still receive e-mails, updates to apps and can play songs but I can’t add any new songs or update iOS. There are no error codes because as far as the computer and/or iTunes is concerned, there is no connected iPod. My iPod used to work perfectly. Also I tried the Apple iPod forum without success and was advised to try the iTunes community support.
Please help! Thank you.I'm having the same problem with my 4th gen iPod touch. After the update my iPod synched and wiped all my music off - apps & podcasts weren't affected. Restored it a couple of times and that didn't work.
I tried copying a couple of albums over and it would do a couple of songs then the rest of the album would look like it had copied instantly. I tried playing the songs and it would play the first couple of songs once, then it came up with ! Beside every song (including the ones I'd just played and said they weren't on my iPod.
I've removed iTunes from my laptop and downloaded the few iTunes bought albums over WiFi to my iPod. The rest of my music is from cds or mixes/podcasts downloaded from soundcloud so I've had to use a different program to copy some of this music to my iPod for the time being until I can see how to sort this out. -
I've had my ipod shuffle (2nd generation) for a long time now and after a year and a bit of not being in use it doesn't work. When I connect it to the computer it doesn't come up. Can my ipod be charged or fixed? Please help!
That is about normal. You can maximize battery life by changing some settings. See:
