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 iPhone 5 now or wait until September?

    It's July now and apple usually announces a new iPhone is September should I get the iPhone 5 now or wait until September?

    No one but Apple knows when (or if) Apple will release a new iPhone.  That being said, Apple has released a new iPhone every year for 6 years straight.  If you think you want the newest iPhone, wait a few months and see what happens this year.

  • 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.

  • Buy the iPod Touch g2 now or wait it out?

    Hi there! I recently have gotten enough money for a 32GB iPod touch. I had been wanting one at release of the first generation, but had next to nothing as far as money. I currently have the iPod that first played video (got it when it first came out and still love it), but I need something so that I can use the internet on campus at the college because the open lab is usually on the other side of the campus that I'm at.
    I've been reading about quite a few bugs with the 2nd generation iPod Touch such as: lower battery life and unable to connect to WPA routers. At home I have a Linksys 160 Wireless-N (b/g compatible) router, LOVE IT, but I use WPA. I'm sure it's not really a big deal with WPA because I live in the middle of nowhere and I highly doubt my neighbor is capable of hacking into my wireless network, let alone use a computer. But if the campus uses a WPA encryption (don't know whether or not it does) then it would render the touch useless.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks

    its been a bit of a rough start if you dont read some of the app help threads, but its such a good device and the apps are getting more powerful, and consistent.
    it has wifi'd to almost every router i have encountered. lots of great content. very secure.
    i bought the first generation and had a few issues.
    now this second one is way more solid.
    they hit the mark on this one.
    battery issue is if you don't turn down the brightness of the screen.
    if you do that its been lasting almost 18 hours for me, reading books
    listening to music, some games, and emails.
    just some thoughts.

  • Should I buy the MBP retina now or wait for the new one?

    Hey
    I wanna buy a new MBP retina 15" before my uni starts in fall so after like a month and a half. I already have a 2011 MBP but wanna get a new and better one so I am just wondering what is the latest 15" retina by Apple? and when is the approximate date for the release of new retinas? like I mean if Apple has a date for new releases like it has for iPhone and iPad usually like to know if it worth waiting or not
    Thanks

    I haven't heard anything as far as a new retina models. I just upgraded from a 13" mid 2012 non-retina pro to a 13" late 2013 retina pro. Either way I don't think there will be any major improvements to their retina pros if they do release a new one in the fall. I would say go ahead and get your retina now. Also Apple has a reuse and recycle program along with a student discount. You can take your old mac in and possibly get a store credit towards a new one but I doubt you'll get a huge discount. For my last MacBook, I would only have gotten about $350. But make sure you get what you need in it when you buy it because you can't upgrade the parts.

  • I own an iPod Touch 4g. Now i'm planning to buy iPod Touch 5g. Is it possible for me to register the new one with existing Apple ID so that i can transfer the apps from my existing account to my new Ipod 5g?

    I own an iPod Touch 4g. Now i'm planning to buy iPod Touch 5g. Is it possible for me to register the new iPod with existing Apple ID so that i can transfer the apps from my existing account to my new Ipod 5g?

    There should definitely be no issue. You can register more than one Apple device with the same Apple ID and get the same apps on both devices without having to pay for the apps again.
    Alternatively, if you want all your settings to say the same, do a backup of your old iPod Touch and then whe you receive the new iPod, restore the backup on it and it'll save you the trouble from having to redownload everything.
    Cheers.

  • Should i buy the latest ipod touch 4G 2011 ,or wait for an update on it's hardware ?

    Should i buy the latest ipod touch 4G 2011 ,or wait for an update on it's hardware ?
    Do you think guys that it will take about a year for it's future update ? Please help me decide .

    Only Apple knows what they will be doing and they have not told outsiders yet.  Maybe new harware in about a year but maybe earlier or later.  If you wnat the4G purchase it.

  • Thing to consider when buying iPod Touch

    im going to get my iPod Touch pretty soon, i've read the forums about week 39 iPod Touch erors, and part# has to ended up with insial "B".. is there anything else i have to evaluate before i get my iPod Touch?
    im kinda new to iPod, and i've read that in february this year there's gonna be an update for IPT, should i wait for the update, or i can just buy my iPod Touch anytime now? with the SDK being launched, i think there would be more apps to come, if i bought mine now, do i have to spend another $ for the next feb? if that so, maybe i should just wait for the newest IPT to comes out? so how do you guys think? please help me..
    thanks

    was week 39 john lenneon box? cuz i have that and whenever i tilt the screen when i'm watching a movie, the screen turns blue. Is that just my screen protector?

  • I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • I want to buy ipod touch 4 (8GB) , but i dont know is that enough for me

    I want to buy ipod touch 4, my friends said i should buy 8GB one, but i dont know is 8GB enough for me to use. some people said that it only have 6.7GB for you to use, cause the ipod apps already used some of it. I want to have maybe 100 songs, some apps, pics, few games, 5-7 books, few online movies. For some of these, i would probably delete them and download new ones. So, any suggestion?? Please? I really want to buy it before this summer. but i dont want waste my money.

    I would opt for the 32 GB one. Many users have been disappointed when they purchased the 8 GB since they quickly filled it.
    Some apps can take 1 GB themselves. See the following for some other stirage useages:

    ALL of your music should be on your computer in itunes.  Is it not?
    How did it get on your ipod in the first place if not from your comptuer?
    Everything on your ipod should be on your computer and you should be syncing regularly.

  • I deleted Scramble with friends from my iPod Touch. Now I can't install it again. What do I need to do?

    I deleted Scramble with friends from my iPod Touch. Now I can't install it again. What do I need to do?

    That app is made for the iPhone - the app will work on the iPad but is not specifically designed to take advantage of the larger screen.
    When searching for an app, look at the top of the screen for a button that says iPhone Apps. Tap on it to switch to apps meant for iPhone and Scramble with Friends should show up.
