Problem with IPOD 4th generation

I plugged in my brand new touch 4th generation and on the screen it shows a white USB cable pointing to an itunes icon.  The battery appears to be fully charged but I cant even get the home screen to appear.  Brand new out of the box.  Any thoughts?

Download iTunes to your computer, then plug in your iPhone to the computer, jut as the icon shows, and set it up. You will need to create an Apple ID and password.
Then don't download iTunes and don't create an Apple ID but follow the remainder of the recommendation.

    Is the universal dock compatible with ipod 4th generation

    Hey there Punk Phil,
    It sounds like you are wanting to know if the Universal Dock is compatible with your iPod. If you are referring to the iPod Touch 4th gen, then yes according to this article it is:
    Learn about Apple Universal Dock
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1380
    The Apple Universal Dock includes five Dock Adapters that fit iPhone 4 and 4S, iPhone 3G and 3GS, iPod touch (2nd, 3rd, and 4th generations), and iPod nano 5th generation. Dock adapters for other iPhone or iPod models are sold separately.  For a complete list of products that can be docked with the Apple Universal Dock, see the table below.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,

  • Are there still apps compatible with iPod 4th generation?

    I recebtly purchased my daughter a 4th Generation iPod touch but have not opened it yet. I was told that there are no longer many apps compatible with this iPod. Does anyone know if this is true?
    Thanks!

    Hey mende,
    Wouldn't you say that, at this point in time, all of the applications are compatible?

  • !NEED HELP ASAP! Problem with syncing 4th generation ipod touch

    I just bought a new ipod from a friend and itunes won't sync my music and apps onto it because it says it "waiting for changes to apply", what does this mean and how do I fix it? Please help ASAP so I can listen to my music before my 6 hr trip in a couple days.

    I figured it out myself the easiest and best thing to do (or it was for me at least) if you already have your own music just go to settings on the ipod and then go to General, then reset, then tap Erase all Content and Settings and accept it. Now my ipod has all my music and apps on it and music cloud which it didnt have before lol.  But thank you for the help its greatly appreciated .

  • HT4061 ipod 4th generation stuck on start up screen, won't do anything (the black screen with the silverish apple). Help?

    This morning, i tried turning on my ipod (4th generation) and it is stuck at  the black start upp screen (the screen that has the siverish apple when you have first turned on your device). It has been stuck like this for about a half an hour now, and I'm not sure what to do. This would be the second time in at least three months I have had problems with it (around December it went into recovery mode and i had to reset it to the factory settings). Is there anyway I can handle this at home, or do i have to go into an apple store to have this fixed? Also, I plugged it into my computer and it didnt show up in itunes like it did last time. Thanks! (I'm pretty sure its the IOS 6 because i have not updated it since then).

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Traveling with my iPod 4th generation

    Hi,
    I am going away on a trip. I will be visiting England and France. While I am away I will be taking my ipod 4th generation with me. I have an adapter and a wall charger. But I am concerned that the voltage in France and England will be to high for my ipod take. I am afraid it will fry up. Do I need a transformer or will it be ok? Also, I am not using an apple wall charger. I am using another wall charger brand called "wireless". Does the wall charger you have affect the way your ipod will charge? I spent a long time earning money to buy my ipod and I don't want it to be ruined.
    Thank You!
    - Applegirl509

    Look at the wall charger. Most say good for 110-240 volts and 50-60 Hz. If so then no problem.
    A few are only 110-120 volts

  • HT1430 We tried resetting my ipod 4th generation touch using above directions with no luck.  Any other ideas?

    We tried resetting ipod 4th generation using Apple instructions.  It will not turn on, but shows the charging symbol, with little to no battery power no matter how long it charged.  Any ideas?  We've had this for less than 5 months.
    Thank you!

    - 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.

    Okay, so somebody stole my Ipod, 4th generation, and it don't have IOS 7, it has IOS 6.1.4, and apparently I was tracking it  with police officers this morning and when I get home from school (now, 4:26) it appears that it's offline and I can't see the location no more, so my question is... Can they still find out where is it located?

    Your carrier might be able to locate it if it's on their network and they are ordered to do so by the police or the courts.  It can't be tracked with Find My iPhone if it's offline.

  • In the iOS 6 update it clearly stated that it is compatible with the IPod 4th generation. But when I updated I did not get Siri! How do I get it?

    Help

    To clarify, iOS 6 is compatible with the 4th generation iPod Touch, but that doesn't mean you get all the features. Siri will only be available on the 5th generation iPods.

  • HT2729 My ipod 4th generation is no longer playing videos. It plays the sound only with message "TV connected- This video is playing on TV"?

    My  IPOD 4th generation has stopped playing videos. It will play the audio only and displays message "TV CONNECTED" "THIS VIDEO IS PLAYING ON THE TV". Don't know how to re-adjust video setting to what it was prior to this happening.

    Do you have an Apple TV? An iPod  can AirPlay to an Apple TV.
    Can you provide a screen shot of what yo are seeing? Also what specific app is it?
