[PSA]iPod touch 4g untouched iOS 6.1.6 very slow, battery drain EVEN AFTER DFU RESTORE?
Hi guys, I wanted to report that updating your iPod touch 4th generation to iOS 6.1.6 will surely fix some security flaws, whi8le it will make your device super slow. It's frustrating. The battery on moderate / airplane usageisedlast almost 5 hours before it turns off completely and now it barely does 4! On iOS 6.1.5 it wasn't fast at all but yet acceptable. Lots of people tell that the fastest APt***s iOS 6 version (iOS 6.1.3, 6.1.4, 6.1.5 and 6.1.6) is iOS 6.1.5...
It's getting very frustrating, expecially in terms of battery life. Come on, this iPod touch is ony one year old and it came on iOS 6.0.1, so it was new, also ensured with online verification tools! I regret everything about updating.
So guys, if you were looking forward to updating your device, do not do it. Seriously, it will make it worse. It's unusable!
Everybody will tell me to erase my iPod. Well, I did it countless times. This time I even did a DFU restore thinking iOS 6.1.6 was better, while it wasn't. And there is no going back, if not putting your device into a stupid state in which you have to plug it in to your computer each time you want to turn it on. This update ruined my iPod.
I'm not expecting any assistance anymore, just a notice for you all:
DO NOT UPDATE. DO NOT UPDATE. DO NOT UPDATE.
p.s: I already tried optimizing settings and turning off every not needed feature also in restrictions.
Regards, @Haduken2g
Lol… my device is only one year old and I'm having problems since my warranty expired… this seems so suspicious… I'm not even sure if my next product will be traded Apple. More than unsure, it's very very likely. The first time in a 4 years Apple user experience that DFU didn't solve my software based problems. I would return to iOS 4 not if it was just for me.

Why is my new ipod Touch 5 with iOS 7.1 clock is slow by almost 3 minutes?
Why is my new ipod Touch 5 with iOS 7.1 clock is slow by almost 3 minutes?
Radiation, global warming maybe... Really don't know, the time should update when you connect to the internet. You could also try resetting and see if it corrects. Are you sure the clock your comparing with is set to the correct time? Good luck, Cheers.

Is the iPod Touch 4G with iOS 5 suppose to have a Battery Percentage?
I just bought this iPod Touch from Target on Black Friday, and restored it from my old iPod Touch's Backup. I've noticed that my battery doesn't last very long and that up in the top right corner, to the left of the battery symbol, shows a percentage of battery left, but my friend that as the same exact iPod with same exact firmware doesn't have it. Is this because the iPod that I restored this one from was jailbroken? I restored my new iPod with a backup from my 2nd Gen iPod that was jailbroken.
Do you think I should restore as a new iPod?Actually you can enable the battery percentage on iPhones, like you see in this picture.
I don't know why you can't do it with iPod's. I, for example, own a Touch 4G which has the battery percentage for the same reason yours do. It always happen when I restore my iPod and I've never experienced any trouble.
The battery percentage may be on because there is this key "<key>gas-gauge-battery</key>" under the
"N82AP.plist" file that was set to 'true' when you made the backup of the old iPod. In fact, if this key was changed, others could too, and these can be a problem.
If it was my iPod, I would leave it that way, as I try to avoid these custom settings
The fact is that it is not mine. And I don't know what you did to your iPod. So, if you care enough about your ipod, you should consider restoring as a new one
The battery life issue may be a firmware problem. I don't think the restore would be the cause. -
My daughters iPod touch 4th gen is STUCK. Somehow it was disabled because of too many password attempts (my younger daughter was pushing numbers). I connected it to iTunes, did the press and hold power button + home button, then let go of sleep button. iTunes recognized it, gave me the option to restore it and did its thing. Here's the problem, now it won't GET OUT of that mode. After the first attempt, it wouldn't power on after I disconnected it from the computer. So I hooked it up again, and it says its detected an iPod in recovery mode and offers me the same "update & restore" option it did originally. Now what??? Please help. My daughter just got this two weeks ago for her birthday.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

or
Maybe:
Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

If this does not help, try again, this time without using the latest backup.
If you are using push/fetch for your mail, deleting the account and setting it up again after a restart could also solve your problem. -

What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It -
Let's say I'm playing Words with Friends, and also Angry Birds. I may want to go back and forth between the two. When I do so, the app that was in the background needs to reload again. There is no quick access or ability to quickly resume where I left off. And the reloading means that the app restarts from its opening screens...so if I was working on a level, I have to start all over again. And quite often, a game like Angry Birds will lag greatly when I first open it...moving almost in slow-motion.
I don't know if this is typical behavior when playing multiple games, or if I have an issue with my device. I've rebooted and even reset and restored, all to no avail.
There doesn't appear to be as much of an issue if I'm playing one game but also have the music player open, or Safari, Notes, Reminders, etc. Those will resume just fine, though there may be some lag when opening/re-opening them.
So I guess the problem seems to lie within 3rd party apps, and not the apps that are part of the iPod/iOS.
The other problem is battery drain. I do all of my music listening via Bluetooth, so I expect that to have a greater impact than if I were using plugged in headphones, and I have location services turned on. But I have most notifications turned off, all email accounts set to manual and not push, screen brightness turned down and auto brightness turned on, "ask to join networks" turned off, auto-lock is set to 2 minutes but I almost always turn off the screen immediately after setting up my music listening (since I do so at work), volume limit turned on, EQ turned off, sound check turned off,
With these settings, my battery can drain 20% or more within 10-15 minutes of game play. And these are not what I would consider memory intensive games--just Words and Angry Birds.
I've installed (and recently uninstalled) a couple of battery meters from the Apple Store as well--freebies. Carat, Battery Doctor, Battery HD, Battery Magic.
Carat and Battery Doctor seemed to offer the most pertinent and accurate information so the others were uninstalled long ago.
The Accelerate tab in Battery Doctor show the amount of memory in use, and the amount of available memory. The vast majority of the time, the memory in use is approximately 94%. I will occasionally choose to "accelerate" which supposedly frees up memory, but this "bump" lasts only a brief time and I'm not sure it's a great idea.
Even with absolutely nothing open or running, my used memory is generally still above 80%.
Carat, if anyone is familiar with it, shows a J-Score. My J-Score is 17, which means that my performance (according to Carat, anyway) is better than only 17% of the users who have Carat installed. In other words, 83% of people are getting better performance from their devices. It also has "battery hog" and "battery bug" sections. It doesn't detect any hogs or bugs.
I use my iPod Touch in rather limited ways. A typical day consists of approximately 5 hours of music listening via Bluetooth and 30 minutes to 1 hour of playing the aforementioned games. The occasional note and reminder, perhaps a brief check-in with the weather, and that's about it. And wifi is in use only when at home (there is no hotspot at work). Still, I need to charge it every day. I'd be keen to do more with the iPod if I could count on it to last more than a day.
I've read up on multiple forums and blogs for tips on prolonging a battery charge, and believe I've taken everything into account, and applied whatever I could. I've even reset the network settings and try to discharge the battery completely once a month (for supposed battery calibration).
I'm really hoping people can offer some suggestions or comments on whether this is typical behavior or if my battery is going, or even offer some additional tips.
With iOS 7 on the horizon, I'm hoping the upgrade will offer some resolutions (I've read there is better multitasking), but considering how weakly my device performs at this point, I'm not entirely convinced that an iOS upgrade will actually make any improvements.
Thanks a lot for reading.No, the app does not have to completely restart. It gets shifted in its open state into storage. Similar to how a computer uses the hard disk when it has insufficient memory.
What complicates things is that sometimes memory does not get returned for reuse when you close an app. Thus yo should periodically double click the Home button and "delete" unnecessary apps from the multitasking dock and power off and then back on the iPod. -
My iPod touch 5th Gen iOS 8.1 won't turn on, charge and CONNECT TO iTUNES.

ITunes 10.5 won't update files properly on my iPod Touch 4G running iOS 5, how can I fix this?
I recently updated iTunes to 10.5 and my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 5, but now when I try to edit the ID3 tags or artwork of songs on my
iPod using iTunes, iTunes just says "Preparing to update files" but it never actually updates them. When I try to add songs
manually to iPod (my iPod is not set up to sync music with iTunes [see note below]), the same thing happens, with the newly added
songs appearing on the iPod library but are grayed out with a still loading icon next to them. Also, in some instances when I try
to change the artwork of all the songs on an album, it grays out the songs I tried to change, puts an exclamation mark by them,
and applies those changes to other songs on my iPod! And if I delete the songs I attempted to change it deletes the songs that
were received the artwork change. The songs that were unintentionally changed somehow got overwritten by the songs I was trying to
change while retaining the original tags of the songs that were changed. Not sure if I'm explaining this clearly so let me give an
example: song A is a song on an album on my iPod, song B is on song on a completely different album on the iPod. When I change the
artwork on song A, it somehow messes up my library and song A overwrites song B, but it keeps all of song B's ID3 tags. So I don't
know song B is song A until I play song B, at which point the ID3 tags are changed to the tags of the song A, and song B is just
disappears. This only started happening after updating to iTunes 10.5 and iOS 5. Not sure if the problem is caused by iTunes 10.5
or iOS 5, but I did search online and found someone with the exact same problem effecting their iTunes 9.1 (no iPod involved).
Can someone please tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Note:
I add songs manually to iPod because I don't keep my music on my PC and sync my music with iTunes because it would take up too
much space and I want to be able to add songs on my iPod from other computers. Once you set it up to sync music I believe it
disables making any changes to your iPod with iTunes on other computers.okay, I don't know about the rest, but about the songs never actually loading onto your iPod, I found in another discussion how to fix that. I'm using Windows 7, so I don't know if the steps are the same, but the end result is the same. So go into your Start menu, then into accessories, right click 'Command Prompt' and click 'Run as administrator'. Then type in the following: netsh winsock reset then press Enter. After a few seconds it should tell you to to restart your computer for changes to take effect. Restart your computer, then restart iTunes, then everything should be working fine. It still takes forever sometimes to update the iPod, but eventually it will work. I've had to do this multiple times, so I'd suggest copying & pasting this solution into a notepad or Word document and saving it on your computer, so you don't have to go through the discussions again to find it. This tends to happen to me nearly every day unfortunately Hope this fixes that problem, but I'm not having any of the other problems fortunately, except for removing the artwork of the songs it updates without me asking it too. PS I think my problem may be with iOS 5, because iTunes 10.5 came out before iOS 5, and I think everything was fine before I updated my iPod, but I really don't know where the problem lies

What's the proper protocol for a reset on my ipod touch 4g? iOS 6 has totally jacked it up and it will no longer do anything but crash, and won't sync with itunes wirelessly or by cable.
It's a 64G ipod touch and was fine till Apple told me to upgrade to ios 6. Now most of my apps crash, my music won't play and I just get a white screen when I hit Music.
When I try to sync to itunes it acts like it's going to sync and appears to recognize the ipod, but it's grayed out and has an update circle by it that spins for a while until itunes eventually freezes alltogether. Is there a way to go back to ios 5 after a erase and reset?iOS: Unable to update or restore

IPod Touch 4G running iOS 6 not recognized by iTunes 10.7
After updating my iPod Touch 4G to iOS 6 from the device itself and then updating iTunes on my PC to 10.7, whenever I connect the iPod Touch, it gives an error saying "This iPod cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64-bit version of iTunes."
My computer is running on a 64-bit OS, and the version of iTunes I installed is 64-bit. I have already tried the methods given by Apple to fix this (uninstalling iTunes and all other Apple software and reinstall iTunes, running Apple Mobile Support program, etc...). How can I get my iPod Touch to be recognized properly?
*Note: I am still able to update my old iPod Video 5G without a problem*I agree it it the driver since the diagnostics say:
Apple Mobile Device Driver not found.
Did you try step 5 of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
