Should I get the iPod Touch? (Also a question about the screen issue)

Hi,
I recently purchased the 8GB iPod Nano, and now i'm considering to add a $100 and get the iPod Touch 8GB. Would you guys recommend it?
Another question I had was that I heard about the iPod Touch having some Screen Issues, and read somewhere that if the Box has a picture of Macy Gray then its Bad. But I personally think the Macy Gray image is for the 8GB, and the other artist is for the 16GB.
Is there a 100% definite way for me to find out if it has a good screen or not?
Thanks in Advance!
Saeid.

Ok, I recommend the iPod Touch. 8GB is fine, and totally worth the $$.
The screen issue has been fixed by a firmware update, so as long as you update to the latest firmware, you should be in the clear.
I have a 16GB macy Gray and it is working perfectly so far (1 week of ownership)
However, you mentioned using your iPod in the rain. If you do so, the Touch is not for you! I would not want to get water even near it, because the technology could be very very sensitive to water. It was raining here the other day (in Los Angeles) and I was so scared to use the touch that I took my 8GB 3gen Nano with me instead. And I was still scared to use that.
You will have to take the touch out and look at it if you are going to operate it properly.
The good news:
you can make playlists on the go! That means you can, while it is still dry, set a nice playlist without connecting to your computer. But, if the volume needs to be adjusted, there is a shortcut that would take just a bit of memorization and careful skill. In your pocket, you can double tap the home button, and then the volume, pause and track forward/backward "buttons" pop up. If you can memorize their position and hit them right, the Touch can be operated in your pocket. But make sure your hands are dry!
So it's up to you. I think quality wise, the Touch has had most of its bugs worked out. The only things that will come in the future are additional features.
Good luck and I hope you get it.

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • I just bought an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB for $199.99 but then when the iPod touch 5th generation came out, the 4th generation was still $199.99, but for a whole 16GB. Is there a way I can get some sort of free space?

    If "just" is less than 14 days, you can return your iPod to Apple for a full refund.

  • My iPod touch has no sound when I play music or use the iPod touch at all.  Yes, the volume in the "sounds" is all the way up.  It has not been dropped or gotten wet.  I turned it off and on.  now what?

    My ipod touch (4th generation) has no sound.  I have turned it off and on.....I have the volume up in the "sounds" area.  When I push the side volume button, there is no image that appears in the screen that shows that I am either raising or lowering the volume.  Do I need to just rest the ipod touch as a new device? Or is there someting else I can try?

    And, now when I do press the side volume buttons, the image appears but with the words' "sound effects."  what does that mean?

  • Should I get an iPod touch 4g or an iPod touch 5g?

    Last August, the power button of my IPod touch 4g got jammed. I went to the apple store and they gave me an entirely new ipod 4g. Last week however, my ipod 4g's battery suddenly could not hold a charge AT ALL(As soon as I unplug it, it dies). I then went to the apple store and they told me that I would have to pay $99 for another new ipod. I said I would wait a few day to see if it would get bette. Now, even when it is plugged in, it "runs out of power" after a several minutes and takes another 1 or 2 to restart, I have restored it and it has done no use. And also, the other day, I was doing FaceTime with a friend (while being plugged in and dying every 7 minutes or so) and I realized that the case was too tight. At first I paid no mind to it, but later I saw that the screen was starting to come up from the metal back! So do you think I should pay the $99 for another IPod touch 4g, or pay $270 (On sale) for an iPod touch 5g. I really want Siri and a lot of other stuff on the 5g, but the thing holding me away from the 5g is the lack of a ambiant light sensor.

    It is up to you. If ony the battery is bad, Apple will exchange yur iPod for a refurbished one for $79.
    A third-party place like the following will replace the batter for less. Google for more.

    Replace the battery yourself if you are up to it. You can purchase a replacement battery for about $10

  • HT5622 I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop.  I have then changed it on my iPod Touch in settings. When I try to update my apps on the ipod touch it keeps throwing up the old appleID.  How can I get the iPod Touch to use the new ID?

    I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed them in my iPod touch settings in "iTunes & App stores" When I try to update my apps it fails because it wishes to continue to use the previous ID.  What do I have to do to make it accept the new ID?

    Also
    If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • Should I buy an iPod touch 5g or wait for the iPod touch 6g

     

    Hey HaithamElloumi, If your sitting on the fence, why not wait till this fall-- All other iPods where released in the fall of 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2012. Will Apple continue this trend and release an iPod 6, this fall? I don't know. You'll have to hurry up and wait with the rest of us! In the world of personal electronics the iPod 5 has been around for 2 years, that's a long time, but the decision to buy is yours, and yours alone. Hope this helps, Good luck. Cheers.

  • Does the Apple store repair the iPod touch 5 (32Gb) with a cracked screen under the year warranty? (I know they charge money)

    So my iPod touch 5th gen 32 Gb got cracked at the top (works) and is still under the year warranty (http://i.imgur.com/j83atSI.png)
    I ordered it online through Apple.com and I have never been to the Apple store so I don't know the process of what I do when i get there (with an appointment i Know)
    Well also do they even repair cracked screens (minor)?  (http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING) is that information correct

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.

    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • My iPod touch 4th generation has an annoying screen issue!

    When my iPod touch 4th generation is in sleep, and I go to turn it on using the sleep/wake button, the screen will sometimes flicker on and off quickly (revealing the lock screen briefly and then going back to sleep). If I press it again it works normally, and this doesn't happen when the iPod is charging. My iPod touch is an 8 GB model and is running on iOS 6. At first I thought it was the case I was using, but I bought a new case and the issue still persisted. I am now wondering if this is a software issue, or if there is something wrong with the iPod. I have never had an issue like this before.

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • IPod touch 4th gen question about restoring to factory settings

    I smashed the screen on my sons iPod still working but I bought a new one for him. I synced/backed up the smashed one and then connected the new one to the computer (iTunes) and restored it to the apps photos etc from the old one. We run on wi-fi. Now both iPods are working with all the same stuff on them both have the same apple Id and password and are synced to each ogher. My question is if I restore the old one to factory settings on the actual device  will it also restore the new one?? Please help and Thankyou for your time anyone who replies.

    No.  How you sync one iPod does not affect the other. The same goes for restoring your iPod.  It will have no affect on the other one.
