Should I update my iPod to iOS 8?

The day I updated my iPad 2 to iOS 8, it started working very slow. So, I'm scared to update my iPod touch 5th generation 32 GB because I don't want it's speed to decrease. How do iOS 8 performs with iPod touch. Is it slow or fast?

Hey Tom and Jerry, Not that matters, the decision is yours, but I have not updated. Many have reported slow or laggy response, apps closing, missing music, apps, photos etc. very poor battery life, as little as 1 to 2 hours on a full charge (Note; they did not say what they were doing). iPods turning off unexpectedly, and various charging issues. Many of the new features will only work with iPhone, require hardware the iPod simply does not have. Some have stated people working at Apple stores have told them that iOS 8 should not have been made for the iPod 5! With this said, many others have not report anything, either because there iPods work OK, or they don't know where to go to report a problem and are willing to live with it. And remember, once you move to the new iOS, you cannot go back. Personally, I'm resisting the move to iOS 8 for as long as I can. Hope this helps. Cheers.

  • While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpcted error occured and now my ipod is not recognized by itunes or my computer and all data has been removed. What can I do

    While updating my Ipod to ios 5 an unexpected arror occured before my data was restored and now Itunes will not recognise my Ipod. My Ipod is also not seen as a device in My Computer but asks me to install drivers. What can I do?

    - First I would remove and reinstall all the Apple software using the following and then restoring the ipOd.
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    - Next see if manually placing the iPOd in recovery mode will allow a restore. For recovery mode see:

    - Next try DFU mode:

    - Next try another computer/cable to help determine if you have a computer or iPod problem.
    - If the other computer works and yours does not see:

  • I cant update my iPod to iOS 5 without losing all the songs I've bought from the iPod, how do I update without losing them?

    So, I've been trying to update my iPod to iOS 5 because every app I want is requires iOS 5. When I try and update it on the computer it wont let me, it will go for hours saying it's "backing up". I decided I'd try and just restart it, but when I click it, it says that if I continue iTunes will delete any songs that aren't on iTunes library, and the songs I bought from the iPod itself are not on the iPod yet. I don't know what to do. If I don't update the software I wont be able to update any apps, or get new ones, and if I to update I'll loose the songs I've bought. Please help.

    - Try here:

    - Transfer iTunes purchases by:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not onclude synced media like apps and music. See:
    iTunes: About iOS backups
    You can also redownoad iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • I updated my iPod to ios 5.1.1 and lost all my photos, what can i do to get them back?

    I updated my Ipod to ios 5.1.1 I figured all my photos would still be there since I backed it up and had photo stream on but they're no where to be found.  Is there any way I can get them back?

    Photo Stream has only the recent shots in Camera Roll.
    If you didn't backup with the appropriate software then it's gone.

    Also, make sure you have the latest version of iTunes (I don't recommend installing OTA) and do a hard reset on your phone prior to updating.

    I was trying to update my ipod for ios 6. It got downloaded but could not update my ipod. my ipod screen is now showing one message usb -up arrow-itunes, can anyone suggest something please.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I read the same thing about iOS 3, 4, 5, 6. You come to a forum that provides support, you are going to read problems. I did not have any, but I didn't come here to report that. Just like asking if everyone you see in an emergency room is sick.

    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPod to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPod under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password

    I was trying to update my ipod to iOs 5 but I have forgotten the backup password help please?

    You need to restore your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.  That is the only choise.
    Warning: If you encrypt an iPhone backup in iTunes and then forget your password, you will not be able to restore from backup and your data will be unrecoverable. If you forget the password, you can continue to back up and use the device, however you will not be able to restore the encrypted backup to any device without the password. You do not need to enter the password for your backup each time you back up or sync.
    If you cannot remember the password and want to start again, you must perform a full software restore and when iTunes prompts you to select the backup from which to restore, choose set up as a new device.

    Well that is likely to be your problem. After the upgrade the phone locked to the orginal carrier.  You will need to find out who that was and either use a compatible SIM from that carrier or have that carrier offically unlock the phone
