Should I buy iPod 4 gen or 5 gen?

As in title. Please say why

How can we say "why" if we don't know what your crtieria are?
However, that said...
If you want to buy the cheapest, then buy the 16GB 4th gen
If you only need 16GB, buy the 4th gen
If you need 64Gb, buy the 5th gen
If you want the larger screen, buy the 5th gen
If you like the pretty colours, buy the 5th gen
Of course, you could have made any of these decisions without anyone else's help, simply by looking in the Store.

Should i buy ipod touch 5g now or wait?

Should i buy ipod touch 5g now or wait? I read in here, many people said this model has many problems, frozen screens, titles songs are not line up in order, imessage can't send, etc.. what do you think?
I can afford for the 32g, the first one i had was nano and i dont' want to waste and upset if it's not good as it should be. Or i should wait until September when the new one come out?

There is no fifth-generation iPod touch at this time. The current units are still the forth-generation hardware.
As to seeing issues here, that's what these forums are for, people with problems. Those millions who are having no problems have little incentive to post here, so you get a skewed viewpoint as to how prevalent any problems really are. It's rather like judging the overall health of a community only by visiting the local hospital. The reality is that you're most likely going to have no problems at all, though no one can guarantee that, of course.
Anyway, it's up to you whether you wish to wait. None of us here know when Apple will release a new model of the iPod touch, nor even if they will, so your guess is as good as ours how long you might have to wait.
Regards.

Should I buy iPod Touch 4g or wait for 5g ?

I want to buy an iPod touch but I'm confused that whether I should buy iPod Touch 4g or wait for the 5g to come ? Please help. I would also like to know when is Ipod 5g likely to come ?

No one knows when or if another iPod Touch will be produced. If anyone claims to know they're lying. Besides, speculating about future or unreleased products is against this support site's terms of use.
For what it's worth the iPod Touch is amazing, and I'm sure you will enjoy many years of use. Every day that goes by waiting for a new one is a day you could have been enjoying yours.
Hope this helps you decide!

Should I buy the Apple iPad 4th Gen?

Hi,
I am a student from India and we have an exchange scheme on iPad which makes it affordable for me to purchase. But my main question is that should i go for the 4th Generation iPad considering iPad Air is already in the market. Also, if i buy the iPad 4th Generation will be outdated in a jiffy?

It won't be outdated. I have an iPad 2 which will be 3 years old in August and it still works fine.
If my 2 is eligible for the iOS 8 update, then your 4 will be as well and as long as the device can get iOS updates then it's easier to keep the apps up to date and functioning. I think the biggest issue I have with my 2 is if I happen to want a new case or the such the selection is getting pretty slim because they're no longer being made.
Your device should work just fine for a good period of time.

Should I buy iPod touch 5 or iPhone 5?

Okay, so I had an iPod touch 3 a couple of years ago, until the battery died and I decided to invest in an iPhone 4. Unfortunately, the screen was damaged on that, so I had to buy a new phone. I really wanted the iPhone 4S, until I realized that the Verizon version was not 4G. Now I have a droid razr maxx-and miss my iPhone!!! I really want the iPhone 5, but am not sure that $650 is worth it? Is it? Or should I use my mobile hotspot feature on my droid and make an iPod touch 5 like an iPhone??? Please help!!! By the way, my contract is up next August 2013.

I'm a Verizon customer, and using your Droid as a hotspot for an iPod is just plain stupid. The deal is, you get hammered if you go over your data limit. We have the "Share Everything" plan which gives us unlimited text and talk, but we are limited to 6 giga bytes of data use. If we go over that limit, Verizon will throttle the connection speed and charge for every thing over that 6 gigs. NOT a good idea.
Do yourself a favor: Wait until your phone is due for an upgrade. You won't have to pay full price for your phone.
Or, if your phone decides to take a gravity assisted trip to the pavement......

Should I buy Ipod Touch 2 G. 16 gb...

I have a question. Do you guys think it would be a good idea to buy a Ipod Touch, when I already have a Ipod Classic 80gb. I'm mostly thinking about buying it for all the great apps and games.

I did exactly what you did. I had an 80Gb Ipod video (Gen5) then got a 32Gb ipod touch (gen1) and I love it. The touch interface is summat else and much better than the control wheel. You mite not be able to put as much music on but it just means you manage your collection a bit better.

Should I buy Ipod nano?

I want to buy it but i'm worried about the battery.When the battery is old and i need to buy a new one how do i open it up?How long do these batteries last?

Really doesn't matter what you buy as they are already obsolete when they hit the market. This is due to the fact that the R&D folks are always working on newer technology. If they made them to where they would last longer than 3 - 5 years, then they would stand to lose money because you wouldn't be spending the cash to get new technology. It's the same reason the auto makers do not produce durable cars that last. So, what you have to ask yourself is how much you would be willing to spend every 3 - 5 years on a music playback device.

My iPod Touch 8GB 4th Gen, 6.1.3., has recently been crashing/going slow in a lot of applications and while typing. It's also been failing to download/save images from Google Search. I'm thinking of either restarting/rebooting it or just buying a new one. What should I do?

I am looking to buy an iPad. Which iPad should I buy the 2nd gen or the 3rd gen?

Please help me regarding it. As I have heard that 3rd gen has overheating problems. That is why I am asking this question

What are all the differences between the iPad 3rd Gen and the iPad 2? Is the iPad 2 worth the cost savings?

Replacement iPod Touch 8GB (2nd Gen) beggining to fall apart after two months!

Well my problem is plain and simple
My first iPod touch (8GB 2nd Gen) was working perfectly fine until one day it slipped from my hands and the screen shattered. I took the iPod in to Best Buy and they overlooked the serial number and looked up my plan (product replacement plan) and they took it in and sent it out. They promised me a refurbished or a new iPod touch. They said it should take only about 5 days but it took two weeks, but in all fairness it was around a busy holiday seasons so i can understand the holdup. My Apple warranty was already up when i took the first iPod in for a replacement so i just used my product replacement plan. 2 weeks later i recieved my refurbished iPod in the mail, how could i tell it was refurbished, well for one the back of the iPod was void of any scratches but there was no Apple or "iPod" branding?! They also did not include the headphones used with current and past models, they shipped headphones that were changed years ago to a new design, i tested the headphones, and they were broken. I just said oh well and when i went to plug it in with the "new" cord they included i noticed there were stains all over it and i had to disinfect them (..yuck!) it made me certainly rethink even using the headphones in the first place. One thing that seemed odd to me was that it included OS 3.0 since 2nd gen iPods only ship with OS 2.2.1 and after checking the settings i confirmed it was in fact a sencond generation iPod Touch. After about a week of use i plugged in my headphones and i could only hear through one side, i unplugged them and replugged them and the problem was resolved and i thought it was a fluke, so i just disregarded it but its been a month now and since last week no matter what headphones i use i always get sound from the left channel. I was honestly furious that after only 1 month the ipod it starting to fall apart in front of me. I inspected the iPod closely and noticed that if held a certain way the glass on the lower right coner of the iPod begins to move around. The home button has also failed to respond quite a few times. Then when one day the external speaker started to begin to become flaky and sometimes not work at all, i just said "thats it!" im currently resetting the iPod to factory settings and putting a test sound on it for them to listen to and see the problem. In fact when i received it there was already a test sound on it so i presume there was a problem with the jack previously? I am repackiging everything and am off to geek squad tommorow, if there is any other advice to offer please let me know. Ive treated the iPod like a child after the first one shattered and the device has never been dropped, the screen and the back cover are spotless (minus the small scratches on the back chrome cover just from normal use) the iPod has never been near water and i checked the iPod to see if infact water could have gotten in the iPod and the sticker was still sparkling white, i am sorry Best Buy ive been a customer for years and while do not mean to rant and complain it has only been to months and its already falling apart?! i am sorry that is just not acceptable.

I just got my ipod touch 2nd gen 8gb replacement ipod in the mail two days ago. And i fell that my screen has cracked way to easily. I had my other ipod touch before this one for a year and a half and the screen had never been cracked. But my first two days with this "replacement" ipod has cracked twice. i am willing to take the blame for the first crack as i dropped it in the street and my case didnt do its job, but lasnight i put my hand in my sweatpants pocked only to find small peices of glass. i took out my ipod and there was the problem. a large shatter on the bottom near the homebutton. Seriously 2 cracks in 2 days with my REPLACEMENT after 360+ days and no cracks with my forsure APPLE ipod touch? I doubt my ipod touch screen is even made by apple.

Can't decide between the 1st gen and 2nd gen 32GB iPod Touch, please help.

I would like to buy a 32GB iPod Touch, the problem is that i can't decide whether i should buy a 1st gen or 2nd gen.
Obviously 2nd gen is "better" but is it worth the extra $$$?
Best Buy has the 1st gen for $310 and the 2nd gen is $400, that's $90 difference.
Any advice would be appreciated.

that's $90 difference.
Actually, it's only $80 because the 1G touch will come with the old 1.x software and it cost $10 to upgrade to 2.x software.

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

Cover flow on ipod classic 160gb 6th gen

I was just given an ipod classic 160gb 6th gen, it the previous owners music on it, so I hooked it up to itunes & restored it & updated it to factory settings & put my name on it. I noticed in cover flow mode, that albums are doubled, one for the entire album, then the album cover again for individual songs. when I go to album view, the albums show up ok, there are no double ups there. I also notice when I scroll down to the now playing with the split screen, it comes up blank with no cover art. I had an 80gb 5th gen ipod & everything seemed ok. I wiped it clean with a restore as well to start fresh. It took about an hour & a half to sync over my music library from my external hard drive to my new 160 gb 6th gen ipod. It seems to play ok, so far, I just got it today, & I have been playing it on & off to try it out.
I am running itunes 9.0.1.8. Also when I plug in my ipod, itunes ops up with an update message for me to update, I click ok for the update, but nothing seems to happen, so I do not know if itunes has updated or not.

Ok, should I try the trialing X, for those persistent multi covers that do not respond to adjusting the track names as first suggested? I went to your tips page & saw the graphic for that. Is it ok to just leave the Xs in or must they be removed?
iTunes tries to be "smart" and only updates the tag if it thinks you've changed something. Adding the X is a temporary measure to force iTunes to acknowlege that something has changed and thereby hopefully merge the album. Once it's done you can get rid of the unecessary trailing Xs.
I also looked at your image for handling multi discs, will this group multi discs together in cover flow?
Yes, that's the point.
& when one is playing a multi disc set, will the ipod just go straight to the next disc (disc 2) in playback as though it were one single album?
Yes.
or will playback stop at the last track of disc 1 & then one would have to select disc 2 to play.
No.
Will the multi disc set still come up as 2 different discs to selct to play? I may not want to start with disc 1.
No. You can always chose which track to start playing.
One of the albums I was having trouble with multi covers was part of a 2 disc set, disc 1 was credited to the main artist, but had guest artists for 1/2 the tracks, disc 2 was by the same artist with no guest artists. I have now gotten disc 1 to show as a single cover in cover flow by checking off part of a compilation in the info panel, but it does not appear next to disc 2 in cover flow.
Again setting *Part of a compilation" is the wrong approach. Set *Part of a compilation* to No, put your guest artist info. into the track titles (or any other scheme you choose) and make sure that the Artist value is consistent for all tracks.
on an off note, I notice when I press my ipod button or navigate any of its features, there is a slight grinding noise, I can hear the hard drive, when I bring it close to my ear, it sounds like a chewing mouse is this ok/normal to hear slight noises? it seems to be functioning alright. It is pretty responsive.
Yes, the noise from disc activity is normal. My iPod lives in a silcone sleeve which probably muffles it a bit and most of the time I'll have already have music playing so I'm rarely conscious of the noise of hard drive activity but it is there.

My iPod Touch 8GB 3rd Gen is acting slow.

I just got my iPod Touch 8gb 3rd gen and it acts slow whenever I try to use youtube, mail, safari and whatever else that needs wi-if. I restored it twice, but no luck. What should I do?

Humor me: define slow. Slow as in a few seconds, or slow as in 30 seconds, or slow as in a minute or longer?
