Slow ipod touch 4g

Hello.
My iPod touch 4g 64GB iOS 5.1 slowed down.
I would like to try to "empty" it, leave everything backed up in my MacBook Pro (I don't back up to iCloud, only to my computer) and then, slowly slowly, 1 by 1 start adding the applications (songs, calendars, apps, etc) and try to find out if there is something specific slowing it down.
It is slow also switching between applications and also with the Wi-Fi connection (I am experiencing also crashes from time to time).
How do I "empty" it?
Thanks in advance for any help.

  • Slow iPod Touch 4th Gen.

    I have an iPod Touch 4th Gen. I have had it for around 4 years now. It is getting slower by the day! I tried restoring it but it was a temporary solution! I have minimum apps but still it is very slow. Please Help!!

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup. (not clear what restore yoou did) See:

  • Slow ipod touch

    My second gen ipod touch is very slow. I need a way to make it faster. I was thinking about going into the settings and erasing all content amd settings, but im npt sure of that will help.

    Try a Reset first: hold down the power and home buttons, wait for the Apple logo, let go of the buttons.
    Try Restoring it from your Backup in iTunes if the above doesn't help.

  • Terminally slow iPod Touch . . . around midnight?

    So, for some time I have noticed that my iPT would intermittently get very, VERY slow. I have only recently noticed that it is fairly consistently doing this around midnight. The problem seems to only last for about five minutes, but it is extremely annoying. While it is in effect, the iPod is virtually unresponsive. Normally, I notice it first by the fact that trying to wake the iPod from sleep mode gets no immediate response. If I put the iPod down for a minute or so (yes, 60+ seconds), the lock screen will appear, but it won't response to me attempting to swipe it. If I'm persistent, I can usually get it to let me in before it's done being slow, and I can watch the transition through the pages of the home screen in response to my swipes simply creep by. The simplest solution to this seems to be to just leave it alone for between 5 and 10 minutes from when I first notice it. Usually, if I do that, it gets back to acting normally.
    However, I'd really like to understand what's going on and what to do about it. If it's a hardware issue, I can still send my iPod in to Apple, as it's still under Apple Care.
    I already called Apple Care about this, when it first started. The rep I talked to told me that it sounded to him like a software corruption, and if I sent it in they would most likely just send it right back. In an attempt to address this possibility, I have done a restore. When that failed to produce any noticeable improvements, I restored to factory settings, then did not restore from back-up, but instead manually reinstalled everything (losing some data in the process - grrrr). Still seeing the same sort of behavior.
    So, as I see it, the options are that there is a hardware issue, or there is an issue with the OS (though I've since updated to the latest 3.1.2), or there is some kind of issue with one of the apps that I've got installed (though, to be honest, if nothing can run in the background except the Apple apps, and this is happening in any state, I'm not sure I see how this could be).
    Another possibility that I see is that it could have something to do with the internet connection. I see a similar issue come up occasionally when Mail is checking for new messages and everything seems to get slow for a few seconds (i.e. 5s-10s). Though the magnitude of difference seems inconsistent.
    Has anyone else seen this kind of behavior? Does anyone have any ideas what could be causing it? Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do about it?

    I agree with Apple, this sounds like a software issue.

    That's not true. The AIM app for example runs in the background and pushes IM notifications to you even when you're using a different app. Any app that uses the push notifications can run in the background or there would be no point to the push notification feature.
    I would remove all third party applications and try it just to be sure. If the problem goes away with all third party apps removed then do this...
    - put back half of the apps and see if the problem comes back.
    - If not, put back half of the remaining apps and see if the problem comes back.
    - If it does, then focus on that one group of apps and start pulling them off one at a time or by halves until you have the one causing the trouble identified.
    Through this process, you should be able to narrow down to the one that's causing it.

  • Is it possible for the processor in the iPod touch 5th gen to slow down? Or even any type of handheld apple device? If so what is it? Please help.

  • What is the normal amount of GB of Other Space for a new 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3? Also, will iOS 7 slow down/drain the battery of my device?

    My Other storage space was at 2.84 GB after i loaded all my music/apps onto a recently purchased 32 GB Ipod touch 5 Generation with iOS 6.1.3.  Resetting the settings and removing the music and apps did not help reduce the Other space.  I restored to a backup and got my Other storage space down to almost 400 MB.  When I started syncing music it grew 500-ish MB.  Each time I sync, the Other grows a bit more.  This is really irritating.
    The official listed available GB on my 32 GB is 28.22 GB (not including Other), so now I am irritated knowing that this Other is taking up my space when I didn't even have 32 GB of free space to begin with. So 28.22 - 2.84GB = 25.38 GB.
    I want to restore to a new device to see if that helps, but do not want to upgrade to i0S7.  Is there any way to do this?
    If I upgrade to i0S 7 I am worried it might slow my ipod or drain the battery faster.  Will it do that?  The ipod is expensive and I dont want it to go downhill and obsolete on me because it can't handle a better operating system. 

    Less than 1 1/5 GB is normal. It does grow with time.

  • Does the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g ?

    I think the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g

    If you are a developer using iOS 8, you need to move this discussion to the Developer Forum.
    Otherwise, iOS 8 has not been released and is not available for discussion yet.

    I just received a brand new iPod touch as a gift. But when I try to play music on it the speaker is extremely slow. When I plug in headphones I hear nothing. Tried multiple headphones. Tried a restore.  It never dropped or anything 

    Try here:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    You said you restored the iPod. Was the restore successful, that is, it went though all the steps without errors?
    Try a restore to factory settings/new iPod if yuhave not doe so so far.
    Are you  using the headphones that came with the iPod? Are you inserting the plug fully
    Have you tried another set of headphones in the iPod?
    The speaker is not that loud.

    My iPod touch 4 generation 32gb sometimes is really slow.When ever my iPod is being slow and I get on an app the app will shut down. My lock botton is broken and I use the accesery botton to lock it. That being said I can't power down my iPod. I need help, I don't know what to do! Could you tell me how I can power down my iPod or how I can fix the slowness and the shutting down of the apps.

    - Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    - Next, reset the iPod
    To reset the iPod without the hardware buttons,
      Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. All your wifi and bluetooth preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected. You will have to rejoin wifi networks and repair BT devices
    Then you can try:

  • HT1414 My 4th gen iPod touch is slow and has a lot of lag time with the touch screen and home button. It's just slow. Its a 32 gb thats barly half way full and im very disappointed. what do i do?

    My 4th generation iPod touch is super slow and sometimes i have to click the home button multiple times before anything happens. Its up to date and is a 32 gb but barely half way full. My friends have the same kind as i do, and they have the same problem. Mine is a little over a year old and i'm VERY disappointed in something that i spent over $300 for. What am i supposed to do to make this peice of crap work like it's supposed to? I paid a lot of money for it and i expect it to work but the only thing i've heard so far is "turn it on and off." Yeah... cause that solves everything. Does anyone know how to help me?

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
    Also, sometimes restoring the iPod helps.

  • My iPod touch is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour.

    My iPod touch 4th gen 32gb verson 4.3.1 is downloading and updating apps very slow more than an hour. I just got it a day ago and I backed up all my apps music and pictures and videos from iTunes. Few months ago I had an iPod touch but I lost it and it was working fine. Luckily before I lost it i backed up everything to iTunes so now everything that was in my old iPod is now in my new iPod. Anyways, When I first bought it I straight away backed up everything and saw that i had many updates on my apps. I started updating it all at once but even the first one was not loading at all and mty ipod was hanging many times during the updates so i cancelled all the updates. i even tried it on my computer and it was taking forever but my laptop does updating and downloading apps slower than my ipod so that doesnt matter. Even when I download an app on my iPod now its take more that an hour. So i was wondering, is my iPod slow cause I backed up too many things when i just got it . I have about 120 apps 150 plus photos and 70 videos and I backed it up all in one night on the day i got my ipod. So now I'm restoring my iPod and updating it to IOS 5 and see what happens. Hopefully it will be faster then but I still need to know what is main problem of m iPod hanging and slow updating/downloading. Need a reply ASAP. Thanks

    Still you can switch it off while syncing.
    You can also do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
