Should I wait for the 5th gen iPod Touch or keep my 64Gb 4th gen and not return it?

Bought a 32Gb iPod Touch and while it was being shipped I realized I'm going to need the 64Gb's if I plan on removing the music off of my 64Gb iPhone and putting it on the iPod and using my iPod as my music source. So I took it ot the Apple store last night and swapped it for the 64Gb. Well I got to thinking, this thing is just over a year old - a new one HAS to be on its way in the near future, right? Certainly they wouldn't go a full two years to refresh the iPod's with the A5 chips that have been out almost a year already. If they were to go with another September launch for the iPod but next year the A5 chip is almost irrelevant by then, A6 will be in the iPad 2S/3, A6 will be in the next iPhone ----- and then the old A5 would just be dropped into the iPod? Just doesn't make logical sense to me. I believe an iPod refreshment will be launched fairly soon, maybe a long side the next iPad release? What do you guys think? The way I'm just seeing it is that I don't really need the iPod right now, so that $400 credit could be used for even double the space the 64Gb has for the same price when the 5th gen launches? And whatever other bells & whistles the 5th gen will offer. I'd feel stupid for paying the $400 knowing I don't need it quite yet and that a refreshment could possibly be on the way soon. Thoughts?

It is all up to you. I have not heard any announcement from Apple about a 5G iPod touch. SInce you do not "need" then wait.

When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch

When is the release date for the 5th generation iPod touch?

Nobody knows (except for apple of course). All it says on the ipod touch page that it ships in October so it could be any date. I predict that it is in the first two weeks of October but when it says buy it now instead of pre-order you know its about to come out.

Should I wait for the release of FF 4 to install on my new laptop?

I have a 3.x version of FF on my "old" laptop, but I bought a new laptop a couple of weeks ago and want to install FF4 on it. Q: should I wait for the full release of FF 4 to install on the new machine, or would it be "better" to download FF 3.x first?

Personally I would use the Firefox 4 release candidate.
The current Firefox 4 release candidate will become the official Firefox 4 release providing no bugs are found that force a new version to be created. If there is a second release candidate, those using the first release candidate will automatically be updated to the latest version. It is still undergoing quality assurance testing but so far no showstopper bugs have been found.

No one knows if there will be a new model and if so, when that would be. However, there always will be something bigger, better, and newer around the corner, so you'd be waiting forever.
Buy it when you want or need it.
FWIW, here are the specs of the latest models (which happen to be mid 2014):

Should i wait for the new i pad or buy the current one

should i get the new ipad 2 or should i wait for the ipad 3?

No iPad 3 has been announced yet. If the current iPad does what you need, and you can afford it, then you might as well get one now and start getting use out of it - unless you want to wait an unknown number of months for a un-spec'd/unnounced product

Hello otter314!
Let's take a look into this to see if we can figure out what happened. When did this begin? What's the software version of the device? Do you remember what was happening with the device right before this started? Please supply me with some additional information, I'm happy to help with a resolution!

Should I wait for the next generation of intel before I purchase my Mac

I use FCP Studio at work. I also use Studio 8 (Macromedia), but on a PC. I wan't to purchase a Mac sometime in the next year and run FCPS and S8 on it. (Any way they would both run on a laptop?) All of this talk of Universal crossgrades, etc. has me confused. Should I wait for the software to catch up with the hardware? Should I wait for the G5 intels? I'm in no hurry and want to make the right investment. I teach, so we have several different models of Mac - laptops, G4s, and G5s. I need to understand all of this crossgrade stuff before I purchase my own or the school purchase anymore computers.
I would really appreciate advice from the experts.
PowerMac G5, (7,3) Mac OS X (10.4)

just to address some of your points:
All of this talk of Universal crossgrades, etc. has me confused. Should I wait for the software to catch up with the hardware?
since Apple first introduced the move to Intel there have been some clever blighters installing OS X on their PC's and Windows on their Intel Mac's ... not to mention that it is now never been easier for PC developers to port their software to the Mac platform
so who knows, there may be a possibility of dual booting your Mac to run both FCP in OSX and Studio 8 in Windows, or if the developers port it, running Studio 8 natively on the Mac ... but not yet.
there's also speculation about software virtualization, whereby you might run your app regardless of the host OSX ... but again, not yet.
in the meantime the G5 Quads are spectacular machines in their own right ... wish I had one.
Should I wait for the G5 intels?
the laptop MacIntels are getting rave reviews, its safe to assume that the MacIntel desktops/towers will be even more impressive, however the publically announced timeframe for their release is not before the end of the year ... although we're all hopeful that they'll come sooner
if your current systems meet your needs, if you have no special reason for upgrading, like you are losing work because your facilites are not up to spec (or you just can't wait and have money burning a hole in your pocket) then it would be prudent to wait and see.
let the bleeding edge pioneers forge the way Jackie, wait for the dust to settle ... the second generation are usually much improved over the first

Ios 3.1.1 will not download for the 1st generation ipod touch

Why won't ios 3.1.1 download for the 1st generation ipod touch? It will start and then a second later stop.

Does it happen with the apps that came with the iPod?
Does it happen with all apps you have downloaded/installed?
Have you ried deleting the apps and redownload/install the apps? You will not be charged again if you are signed into the same iTunes account that originally purchased the apps.
Next would be to restore from backup
Last would be to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

How do you get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch

How do I get apps for the 1st generation iPod touch?

By updating the iOS on the iPOd. The 1G can go as high as 3.1.3. That works with a lot of apps. But some apps require a higher iOS and/or newer iPod.

Hey 34grumpy4u,
Thanks for the question. I understand that your iPod touch is currently in recovery mode, and needs to be restored. You can restore your iPod with any computer, then transfer your information back to your iPod once you have access to your backup (whether it was made via iCloud or iTunes).

2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?

Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

3rd Gen Ipod touch. I want to start as new, not restore.

I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new, but it keeps wanted to restore. The ipod touch was my sons, and I upgraded him to a 4. I have an older ipod and I was hoping to upgrade to the touch, but it won't let me start new. Please help. I have tried restoring, but it fails. Is there a way to completely wipe it out so I can use it ??
thanks.

"I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch that I want to delete everything and start as new"
Yes. That is called a restore.

I'm considering getting an Iphone. Should I wait for the newer model, or get the 4S?

Hi. My upgrade is coming up for my phone plan in July. I really want to upgrade to some sort of smart phone and have narrowed it down to either an HTC, or an Iphone. I need a new Ipod anyway since I have a second gen Itouch so an Iphone looks like a good deal. I am aware that apple releases new versions of their iphone every year so my question is should I wait until the next model comes out and get it, wait until the next model comes out but get a 4S that drops in price, or get the 4S right away when I become available for my upgrade. I am a sprint user btw. Thanks for your help.

Waiting (or not) is up to you... no one here knows your situation, wants, needs, etc. Apple has not announced anything and it's not certain they will release a new iPhone this year.
All that being said, if it were me, I would wait a few months.
