Need help - yes, another ipod touch vs ipod classic

I currently am using an old 256mb player, and I need a new ipod, its getting ordered next week or so... (xmas present, so I gotta wait until christmas.)
I have 27gb of media, but only 6.7 gb of songs in iTunes. Most people say, well you got so much, get the classic. What is really stopping me from getting the classic is that the ipod touch has wifi. I have a wifi network in my house, and now that I sold my PSP and my laptop is gone, I cant sit in my living room and browse the internet. I really miss that. I am worried about a few things with the ipod touch:
1. Not enough storage for me - I will have to have a mixed bag of media
2. Reports of touchscreen becoming unresponsive after a few weeks +
3. Battery life and reliability - short battery life and it is expensive to replace when it really dies
4. No games that can be played when wifi isnt around - yet
The things I like about the touch is:
1. WIFI - I love safari and I am a youtube addict
2. Widescreen - so much nicer to watch vids on a widescreen
3. Thin - my ipod will always be in my pocket, so the thinner the better
4. Glass multitouch screen - makes you feel like your part of the device
5. OSX - since it is more of a portable computer, there are endless possibilities with it - remember, apple comes out with a SDK in feb...
6. Amazing cover flow
Disadvantages of classic:
1. Hard drive is less reliable than flash
2. No wifi
3. Smaller screen
4. No option to fit videos and pics to screen while watching them on ipod
5. Cover flow feels like crap after using a touch/iphone
Advantages:
1. Hard drive - more storage
2. Longer lasting and cheaper battery
3. Cheaper
4. In its 6th gen so you dont have to worry as much about its technology failing like you do with the touch
5. GAMES - I am always on the go and would love to be able to play texas hold em, I am a major texas hold em freak.
I went to the apple store 4 times since the new ipods were release, and EVERY SINGLE TIME I walk out saying "Ok, iPod touch it is." Then I get home and open iTunes and sit down and realize that it just isn't enough storage. I have had a 4gb ipod mini 2nd gen and a 2gb ipod nano second gen in the past and with both devices I have had to choose what I wanted on my iPod, I am really sick of that. Let me know what you guys think. BTW my mini eventually died and I sold the nano because I was in need of money.
Lastly, my budget limit is $300, so its 80gb iPod Classic vs 8gb ipod touch.
On a side note my name isn't rebecca and I am not a girl... I am Garrett, and am a male college student. Thanks...

Forget it, just ordered an engraved 8gb touch, I want it, thanks for all the help.

    I have a brand new ipod touch 32gb ipod touch. Upgraded to ios 7. open music app but there is no radio tab to select!!! All online help just says, "just select it".
    I have looked at the "More" part but again radio is not an option.
    Can you help?

    Just wait a bit.  Turn it off, then back on.
    I don't know why, but after the update it doesn't show up right away.
    When it finally does, you will find a red icon on the bottom of the screen, on the left side.

  • My iPod touch Nike ipod sensor is not working. Please help.

    My iPod touch Nike ipod sensor is not working. Please help. I even walked around when it asked me to. Also I have latest version of iOS. PLease help

    Update: I seem to have fixed the problem!  I went to the "summary" section of my iPod after clicking on the device on the left side of iTunes.  I checked the box that allowed me to "manually manage music and videos" and applied this option.  The songs are syncing!  And, yay, they're playing on my iPod now!  Hopefully, this helps anyone else who might have this problem.  There might be other issues, but this is working for now.

  • I need help in sync music from the ipod store that I have purchased to my ipod.

    I need help syncing my music onto my ipod.  Anyone there to help?

    There is a few events where I could see this happening...
    It's possible if you computer is not authorized with your iTunes Store account it may not have transfered your purchases from the iPad to the computer. To check, Open iTunes> Select the "Store" menu along top of the program and select Authorize this computer. Sign in with your AppleID and password, this will make sure your computer is authorized for the future so you can transfer purchases from your device.

    However, if your Movies are missing now you'll need to request to redownload or "regrant" them. Please send an email ticket into iTunes Store via...
    http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/
    Select "Video Purchases" in the grey boxes, then "Lost or Missing Items", then click the link to "Email Us" on the right. Fill out that form and the folks at the iTunes Store should get back to you less than 24 hours.

  • I need help getting my songs from my ipod to my computer

    my computer recently crashed and most of my songs were from cds and i cant get them from my ipod on to my new computer i have no access to the old itunes is their anyway to get them bac on my new computer with out haveing to go cd by cd again

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only

    Floola Mac & Windows
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • TS4062 I can't sync music on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. Suggestions?

    I can't sync music already on my computer to my ipod touch; the ipod shows up under Devices in itunes but does not show buttons (Summary etc.) when I click on it. I've read through all the Help tutorials but none of them say what to do if the sync options don't pop up when you highlight the device.  I've already spent way too much time trying to figure this out and it's driving me crazy!  Thanks for any help you can offer.

    This is correct.  It will not show in finder.  It is not an external storage device.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Open itunes connect ipod, do not sync, click File>Transfer Purchases

  • Is there any way to get an ipod  running/ ipod  nike to work with a first generation ipod touch or ipod classic?

    Is there any way to get an ipod  running/ ipod  nike to work with a first generation ipod touch or ipod classic?

    We are talking about that Nike device.  We have a iPod Classic (software version 2.0.1) and an iPod touch (iOS 4.2.1, an earlier model....maybe 3 years ago).  When we plug in into the classic it says "the accessory is not supported) and when we plug it into the touch it says "no receiver required," but neither will load the nike+ running app.  I believe it said that our iPod was incompatible with this app.  Is there something we need to do to make it compatible?  Get an updated operating system or a different app? That has also happened with a few other apps. Thanks!

  • Since downloading the latest version of iTunes, now the screen on my pc shows 'synch in progress' nonstop but my iPod Touch and iPod Classic don't reflect the synch.

    what do i do if ipod touch says ipod disabled connect to itunes

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I have purchased a Bose portable speaker for my ipod touch, the ipod finds the speaker and the music begins to play but as soon as start to walk away from the speaker the music stops, as I walk back next to speaker it starts again, i dont know why

    I have purchased a Bose portable speaker to connect to my ipod touch, the ipod finds the speaker ok and the music plays whilst the ipod is next to it but once I start to walk away from the speaker the music stops, if i walk back towards the speaker the music starts again, you are suppoed to be able to walk around with ipod in your hand and play the music, change tracks etc. I bought the Bose speaker as someone I know already has one and showed me theres and how it worked, he can walk away from the speaker with his ipod touch no problem, so I dont know why mine wont, same speaker, same ipod, does anyone know
    any bluetooth issues, can bluetooth go wrong, can you get it repaired ????? I'm baffled. Thanks

    How far away are you walking? Bluetooth has a range of 10 metres - less if there are walls and other obstacles in the way.

  • Ipod Touch or iPod Classic Sound quality

    Hi
    I am considering geting either an iPod Touch or iPod Classic and was wondering if there is any difference in sound quality between the two?
    Many thanks
    Ken

    I looked at the tech spec and could find no differences.  I would not expect there to be much difference since mp3 are not that good anyway and the earphones have a great effect on sound quality.
