New ipod touch 4th generation trouble
Do i need to sync with iTunes before using it ? I try turning it on and I get the itunes + usb symbol, then the ipod shuts off. I'm used to my iphone, never had an ipod touch before. Just got it yesterday and charged it up.

well, you will have to initialize the device through iTunes.
did you read the documentation that came with your Touch ?

It's Christmas morning and my parents bought me a new iPod Touch 4th Generation 4G 32GB. I started charging it, 5mins later I walked back into my room and there I saw it - frozen, white screen with light green, vertical lines. It's brand new, and I just opened it about 5mins prior. I never dropped it, it never touched water. My mum bought it at the nearby Target. I opened it, in it's case and everything. So I have no clue what happened. I really hope the workers at Target didn't just sell me a broken iPod. This really stinks, and I really hope somebody can help me. I feel terrible for my mum having spent so much on it. So please, someone help me out.
Hello planb77 / PANIDORA, I'm having the same problem. I'm using my iPhone 5S or my iPad Mini cable and wall charger to do it (both originals) , and the iPod Shuffle does not charge at all, doesn't matter if is direct on the wall or trough my Macbook Air.I 've restored it once, but nothing has changed. What else can I do?

I just got a new iPod touch 4th generation and I'm trying to connect to my router and my iPod says, 'Cannont find network.' I don't know what to do! No other networks come up on the list so I can't 'tag' along with thier wifi. Please help. I need advice.
What type network is yu router set up for? The 4G iPod can only connect and see 2.4 GHZ networl like B, G and the 2,4 GHz N. There is also a 5 GHz N but the iPod will not even seethat network.

Popoledo- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- 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.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

What happens when you try to install the iTunes update? Error messages?
You might have better luck posting in the iTunes forum sinc you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem. -

New iPod touch 4th generation (white) just got friday 11/25/11
Does anyone have a problem with the new iPod touch 4th gen, screen. My white one almost looks like it has a sepia layer above it, and the icons do not look as clear as the older black one's (4g), is this probably because i didnt buy it from apple?
Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset. 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.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults.
However, from your description it is harder to understand what your problem is. -
i just got a new ipod touch 64 gb 4th generation after my old one got cracked. my mum backed up all my stuff on my laptop pc but i tried to sync everything back on to my ipod but there are non of the music files there + the pictures wont download
itunes content is not part of the backup as it should all be in itunes on your computer.
What pics won't download?
Please explain your issue. -
I have tried every trick in the book and read every thread on why my version of Windows Vista will not allow me to get at the iTunes Store. I cannot even get this new iPod Touch to sync with iTunes.
I've rebooted, soft restart, hard restart, removed iTunes and re-installed iTunes. Nada...nothing!
Does anyone else have the same issue and can they offer me a solution?See here for different ways to conserve your iPod's battery life.

Why won't my new iPod Touch 4th generation sync audiobooks?
I have tried to sync my library from my old iPod Classic to my new iPod Touch, but it will not sync my audiobooks. I have eyesight problems and my audiobooks are important to me. When I connect to my computer and pull up iTunes, it shows the audiobooks are there, but when I snyc, my iPod doesn't even show a catagory for Audiobooks. Can someone help me.
I feel so stupid! I found the answer in the "More like this" area.
Here is an excerpt from the area that helped me:
"he solution (someone already posted this, but not as emphatically) is simply to *SCROLL DOWN* within the "books" tab when your ipod/iphone is connected to itunes and you have selected it on the left pane.
This solution is not obvious if you have a smallish resolution monitor, as audiobooks used to appear at the top. Now, the text books are exclusively at the top. So, if you don't have any text books in your library, everything looks mysteriously empty." -

New iPod Touch (4th generation) - Music will not sync
I just bought an 4th generation iPod Touch. When syncing my from my Windows PC to the iPod everything syncs perfectly - photos, contacts, bookmarks - but not my music files. The music sync box is checked. The playlists are hightligthed, but no luck. Any ideas why I am having this problem?
The songs were either purchased through the iTunes or imported from old CDs. This is a replacement iPod as my old Clasic died. All the songs I wanted downloaded fine to the Classic. In addtion, I have an iPad and an iPhone 5 and the songs synced to them just fine.

NEW IPOD Touch 4th Generation - Cannot connect Wi-Fi to Secured Network
Hi,
I'm having issues with connecting my IPOD Touch to my Linksys Secured WPA2 network.
My IPOD touch is 4th Generation.
OS = 4.2.1
It sees my Network and asks me to type in the password. The password is very long and after I type it in it states "Unable to join the network"
Can anyone help? Is there an App I can download to help?You do not need to input the MAC address into your router unless you have the router set to MAC address filtering (which I suggest you leave off).
Second, an overly long password just creates a host of problems and provides little, if any, extra protection. WPA2 has never been cracked and anything over 8-12 characters is going to take more computer horsepower than is available in the world today. So, shorten the password and log your touch onto your network. -
New ipod touch 4th gen, trouble with playing ipod in 06 Ford Focus?
Ive recently gotten a 4th gen Ipod Touch brand new and everything. I tried to plug it into my 06 Ford Focus which has the HD Radio Simple brand, and for some reason it shows what song im playing yet won't play it over the car stereo. Its rediculous and all it says on my Ipod was that "this accessory is not supported by Ipod Touch" even though that is exactly what is advertised in the "Simple" radio system!! In the manuel it says that I need to download the latest firmware?? I checked the Apple website and could'nt find it, i have no clue what to do.
