Since IOS 4.3.3 My Ipod Touch 4th Gen 64GB fully discharges on standby in less than 6hrs with no apps running. How can I fix it?

I've followed all the suggestions for saving the battery life but the battery still discharges very quickly. The only way I can stop it discharging is by turning the ipod off, which sort of defeats the object!
It's been suggested that I totally reset the ipod as new and then set it up again from scratch. Does anyone now how likely this is to help, as it will take rather a long time?

Looks like good news!
I finally bit the bullet and did a reset as new.
It was a total pain as you can imagine, but it wasn't the end of the world to go through i-tunes reselecting the apps etc to sink (it was actually a pretty useful exercise because my ipod was full of apps I didn't really use!).
Anyway, it's been off the charger now for nearly five hours and I've been using it for bits and pieces like, the calculator, internet search over wifi, map viewing etc. and the battery is showing 97%!!! All setting are as per the default start up. I haven't changed brightness or anything like that.
Interestingly, now when it goes into standby, the router shows that the wifi link has dropped. When I then wake it again the link restarts after a few miliseconds. This didn't used to happen before.
I'm keeping my fingers crossed and will see how it goes over the weekend and report back on Monday!

Restore, if iTunes will let you. Everything except the password will be restored. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. Be forewarned that it takes a long time. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

My iPod Touch 4th gen is disabled for 22,000,000 minutes. I remember the passcode, and I can't restore.

My iPod Touch 4th gen is disabled for 22,000,000 minutes. I have looked all around the Apple support communities and I always find the same "solution", which is to put it into DFU or recovery mode and restore from a backup. Here's my problem: My computer crashed awhile back and I had to completely start over from scratch. So, unfortunately, a backup of my device no longer exists on this computer or any other computer.
Is there any way I can simply get rid of the disable? I remember my passcode, so that isn't a problem, all I need is to be able to input my passcode.
Or, do I absolutely have to restore to factory settings, and lose all my data?
By the way, I hope it does not matter, but I can't remember the IOS is was last updated with.
Thanks.

Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

IPod Touch 4th Gen 64Gb EXTREAMLY slow to sync

My iPod Touch 4th Gen seems to have, in recent weeks, slowed down syncing. I have made no changes, and only use it for music, yet when new music goes on, it takes around 1.5mins per track to sync. The files size per track is the 5MB (192kbps MP3). So I am a little stumped as to explain why it is being so slow, and I do not have time to restore if I am to get the tracks back onto the iPod before I go away on a 2 day course tomorrow.
Sync over USB, iOS 6.0.1, iTunes 11.0.1.12
Any ideas, please tell me.

Now it's doing it with all my music.I have reset the iPod,restored to a back up and even to factory setting and it's still doing it.my mates iPod still has 4.3.5 and the album plays only one song but mine wants to play 2songs at the time it only stated doing this after the iOS 5 update I kept a back up of my iPods 4.3.5 on a USB hard disk if I restore to iPod to that back up will the iPod go the 4.3.5?

How to fix the iOS 6 artwork mess on iPod Touch 4th Gen? I'm desperate now!

Okay. So this has been going on for a while and I've finally reached a dead end. Since the update to iOS 6 my musical updates to my iPod Touch have been painful and annoying. Whenever I try to upload new songs to my device, almost everytime iTunes fetches the wrong artwork for them. Basically, I manage my iPod manually by draggind and dropping. Before I upload new songs I use MediaMonekey to add artworks to the ID3 tags. This has worked like a charm for years. Until the dreadful iOS 6 update came out. Since then in order to get the correct artwork I had to upload and delete the songs or albums several times before iTunes could get them right. There came a point when I became too frustrated to do this every time I updated my library, so I decided to look for a solution. I googled my issue and found out that I was not the only one with it. The most common solution was to get all of your library wiped out and then reupload it again or something like that. I was desperate enough to try it. To my dismay, it did not work. Even when everything was wiped off, iTunes still managed to get half of the artwork wrong for the songs I uploaded.
So, I come here, hoping that someone will be able to offer a solution that will be able to make me manage and update my library like I used to without any hiccups.
Thanks in advance to everyone that responds!

Confirm that you have the latest version of iTunes. It's 11.02 for the Mac. I don't know about Windoze.
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

HT5192 Can't install ios 5.1 on my ipod touch 4th gen

Unable to install IOS 5.1 update on my ipod touch 4G. On error occurred while installing. I'm using my ipod only to update it.. How can i install IOS 5.1 update on my ipod touch 4G without encountering any problem?

Check out the other ios 5.1 installation error posts, using search terms like "can't install ios 5.1." I found one that helped me. There are several fixes that appear to work, such as changing your DNS #'s on your device, rebooting your device and trying again, and so on. Personally, I have the same device as you and I restarted the device. Then I installed 5.1 from the device. It didn't work from my Mac previously, but it worked from the device. I did have to download it first on the Mac, but once downloaded you have the choice to install from your device as well (if you have home sharing turned on between your Mac and iPod). I had a "1" under updates on my iPod (which was for the firmware update). I just chose to update from the iPod and it worked.
If you don't know how to do a reboot of your iPod, just hold the power and home buttons in until you see the Apple logo. Then you can let go and wait till it reboots.
Hope this helps.

HT201263 iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode and won't restore with iTunes. Please Help!

I had jailbroken my ipod touch then decided it didnt do much of anything, so I decided to restore my ipod. But itunes didnt finish the restore and left me in recovery mode. Now it says iTunes has detected an ipod in recovery mod, but when I try to restore it, it says something like could not connect to apple restore firm and I'm back to square one.
Any Help is appreciated!

Jailbreaking
Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

Shouldn't iOS 7 release on the iPod touch 4th gen and iPhone 3GS because of an iOS bug involving faulty/generic chargers?

Someone should tell Apple about this because the bug is still in iOS 6 but reportedly is fixed in iOS 7 beta 4 or 5

Why don't you?

IPod Touch shows up on My Computer, but freezes iTunes, and does NOT show up on iTunes, how can i fix this?

I have honestly spent countless hours trying to fix this, I FINALLY got it to show in My Computer, driver is updated, I have re-installed iTunes numerous times, recently did a FRESH Windows 7 Ultimate re-install, i can't restore the iPod (because it has been restored, and I can't even access it via iTunes) My iPod is NOT broken, it works on my laptop fine, it shows up on iTunes and My Computer, no problem. However, I need to use my iPod on my main computer for songs (iPod's practically new by the way) Like my question states, my iTunes freezes up, and it's very strange because it freezes, then a couple minutes later iTunes works fine, BUT my iPod doesn't show up on the side like it's supposed to. I've done everything, I hope I get some good support, thanks in advance!

Edit: I have the latest update for the driver, and iTunes, iPod has 4.3.3
