Welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried a hard reset of your iPod? Press and hold down the home and sleep/wake buttons until a red slider appears at the top of the lock screen. Sliding it will completely power off your iPod. Turn it back on and the problem should be resolved.
If it isn't, try here: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-676606.html
Hope this helps!

  • I need help with a question about iPod Touch 5

    I have a iPod touch, and I need to know, if I have the google app(or any app) open, and I hit the lock button, will it close the app?

    yes, unless the app is intended to run in the background, like a music app maybe.  For those, you can turn them off from the app itself

  • Question about iPod Touch iOS update 5.1.1

    I'm debating whether or not this update is worth it considering the situation that I'm in. Currently, there are a LOT of albums that I downloaded from CD's. When I try to update, it says that it will completely wipe all of my media, apps, and their content so "make sure to perform the update on the computer that you sync with". Does this mean that I will lose all of my downloaded CD's, and have to re-download them?

    - If you update via iTunes all the synced media like apps and music has to be in the iTunes library since the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the update does not included synced media.
    - If you already have iOS 5.X, you can update to 5.1.1 vi Settings>General>Software update and it only downloads the changes (not the entire firmware like an iTunes update) and nothing is lost.
    - To move stuff from the iPod to the computer see:

    help me about ipod touch 2gen game download...
    my ipod isnt jailbreak..
    if I need jail break please help me how cause when i use greenPoison they said to push menu button but my ipod havent menu button.. please help me apple

    To more easly find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • Another question on iPod touch email, PLEASE HELP ME!

    Alright folks, here is another email question for ya. I have a 16GB iPod touch running 1.1.4 with the Jan. Software Update. I am using the Mail app. with my two Gmail IMAP accounts. About two days after I started using mail, I started to run in to trouble. My problems are with RETAINING mail once it has been received. There are a couple different things that happen: 1st, I go check my email, and I see that I have new mail. I am able to view it perfectly fine the first time I look at it, but the second time, I can still see the message in my inbox, but when I go to read it again, it is blank, with a button on the bottom telling me that the message is not completely downloaded. I hit the button to download the rest of the message, but nothing happens. 2nd, When I open Mail and check my email, I see that I have new emails, but I can't even look at them the first time without having the problem described above. This applies to messages with and without attachments. I am also having a problem with mail recognizing messages as read. When I get an email that works right the first time and I read it, in my inbox it is recognized as read, but there is still the little red indicator on the mail logo on the home screen telling me I have an unread message, and the only way to get it to go away is to restart my touch. I have tried deleting my accounts and reentering them, as well as restoring my iPod (did each of these steps at least twice!) and nothing has helped. PLEASE help me out here as this is a most frustrating problem!

    My personal opinion is that the POP protocol is better suited to a device like the Touch where always-on Internet access is not available.

  • Question About iPod Space

    I have an 8GB iPod Touch.
    It says I have only 7.27GB available. I assume that this is because of the applications etc. taking up space.
    There's the "Other" section. What exactly is the Other and how do I minimize the amount of space it takes up?

    You are correct the programs and settings take up some of the 8Gb and you can't actually use all 8Gb.
    I know there is a disclaimer about it somewhere and basically it says that the 8Gb claim is only an approximation and so on.
    The "Other" section is where things like the new apps would be stored.

  • Question about iPod Notes

    First of all, let me say that I'm not very 'techie' so if this is a stupid or naive question...please bear with me.
    My question is about iPod notes. It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica). It also wraps earlier than at 80 characters like a .txt file should.
    So basically...the note never looks the same on TextEdit (or whatever) as it does when you view it to your iPod.
    I have been making a few eBooks to read on my iPod and -- just to make them look neater -- I would like to do a few things like centering titles, adding dividing lines, etc.
    So I was hoping somebody could tell me how to set TextEdit (or whatever) so that a note will look the same on it as it does when viewed on the iPod so that I can edit the file. --Like, what is the exact font and size of the text on the iPod display and where does it wrap exactly (I figure it must wrap according to the size of the window, since a variable number of characters can go on a line w/ non-equal-spaced type).
    Also...I figure that the file I edit would have to be a .rtf since the display is not in plain text, yet it says you can only put plain text files in the iPod notes folder. So...I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
    Anyways...any help anybody out there can give me with this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks very much!

    It says you can only put plain text files in the notes folder, and yet it does not display the note in plain text (I believe the display's font is Helvetica).
    Plain text means it does not have any special coding/characters in it such as Bold or Underscores or page breaks.
    Plain text docs do not store anything except text. It does not specify a font. That is taken care of by whatever app you are using.
    I suppose I would have to convert the file from .rtf to .txt before putting it into my notes folder...or can you put rtf. files in there after all?
    You can put rtf in the Notes folder but the iPod will ignore any of the formatting.
    You can use some html to format a bit as well as linking to other files/songs/photos.
    Go here -> Guided by iPod and click on *iPod Notes Feature Guide* at teh bottom for a doc explaining the notes.
    There are a few apps and web pages to put text docs into the correct size files.
    Here's one -> http://www.ipod-notes.com/ (I haven't used it so no idea if it's any good or not).

  • Question for iPod Touch/Windows Vista Users

    Has any other Vista users out there had any problems syncing?
    As long as I don't sync large amounts of data, it works fine...but when I sync a lot of songs at once, or just 1 full length movie, I get playback problems. Some songs will skip and stutter, but that can usually be fixed by recopying the songs individually. Movies (even ones downloaded from iTunes) will not play all the way through. They will either crash and take me back to the videos menu, or they will reset the iPod Touch. Because movies are so large, simply resyncing them will not solve the problem.
    I have tried resetting and restoring the iPod Touch, and reinstalling iTunes, and nothing has corrected this problem. I don't think it is a problem with the iPod Touch, because this doesn't happen when I sync using a friend's Windows XP computer.
    Has this happened to anyone else? Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance for your help:)

    I have the exact same problem - point for point, my iPod touch is doing exactly as you described. I have tried all sorts of things, but to no avail.
    You added a new USB card to your machine, and that has solved the problem? May I ask if you still use your original 'onboard' USB for all of your other peripherals, leaving the new USB card for just your iPod? perhaps it was one of your other peripherals that was causing the problem. Just a thought, but I am certainly glad to hear that the problem is solvable. USB cards aren't very expensive, perhaps I should go invest in one to see if it solves the problem for me too.
    Thanks!

  • Sync Question re iPod Touch

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation. All I want to do is sync the recently added songs from my Mac's iTunes without watching and waiting while everything, old or new syncs...again. It starts this as soon as I plug the ipod touch into the Mac. On my old iPod, all I did was plug it into the Mac and bingo, short sync with only the recently added tunes on my Mac going to the iPod. And I do not always remember between syncs what has been recently added and not synced previously so I do not want to have to hunt for and check the things to be sent to the iPod Touch. Thanks for the help.

    Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says "Prevent iPods... automatically" to no sync when you connect the iPod.
    See the following for how to sync.
    iTunes 11 for Mac: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    I think you want to set up syncing so the entire library syncs automatically.

  • Question about IPod Gen 4

    I have a new 4th Generation IPod touch and I can't seem to get the columns to sort in Itunes and I can't figure out what setting is not allowing me to delete songs off the device.
    Please help me figure out what I am missing. I know it has to be a setting somewhere, but I can't find it.
    Thanks so much.

    You can delete songs directly off the iPod Touch when you are in a Playlist.
    At the top of the playlist, click on the Edit button...
    Then choose the songs you wish to delete from that playlist.
    You can also delete an entire playlist from the iPod Touch in basically the same manner above except click on the Delete button.
    However, the next time you Sync the device to your computer, these songs and playlists will probably be added back to the iPod Touch.
