  • My 4th Gen iPod Touch doesn't work right anymore.

    My iPod randomly decides not to connect to my Internet, it freezes up, apps get force closed, and when I am typing a bunch of letters I did not type wind up on the screen anyway.  For instance, if I type the letter A I could wind up with atryxdy or something.  I never had this problem until after iOS 7 was released.  Is there a way to fix this or do I just have to put up with it since Apple has moved on?

  • The home button on my 4th generation iPod touch is stuck.

    The home button on my 4th generation iPod touch is stuck. How can I fix it at home and get it unstuck? Or were can I take it to get it fixed where it is free or where I do not have to pay a lot of money. With my stuck home button I have to wait for an app to close out for me to open a new one or I have to turn off my iPod completley ad turn it back on to go to a new app.

  • I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

    I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

    Hi johnsmiff99,
    That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

  • When I touch the "photos" icon on my 4th gen iPod Touch, I get a page entitled "Albums" - it's white, with many lines.  At the very top of the screen, almost shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see the thumbnail of my album.  But I can't access it.

    I need help viewing my photos on my 4th gen iPod Touch.  When I choose the "photos" icon, I get a screen called "albums".  At the top of the screen, sort of shadowed behind the word "albums" I can see a thumbnail of where my pictures are.  What can I do to get back my "old" view of my pictures?
    Thanks.
    Judy

    Bring up the Multitask bar by double clicking on the home button, search for the photo app icon, tap on it until it starts to shake, hit the minus icon in the left corner to close the app.
    Close the task bar again and start the photo app again, this time it should work.

  • My 4th gen ipod touch will not work in a philips or Sony docking station

    I bought a philips(DC320) clock radio and my ipod touch would not work in it.  Thinking it was a problem with the connector on the radio I returned it and bought a Sony ICF-CS15ip because the store was out of the philips radio.  When I plugged my 4th gen ipod touch into that again my Ipod touch would not play through the radio but the radio would recognize and charge the ipod.  I tried my daughter's 2nd gen ipod touch in the Sony and it worked great.  So It looks like there is a problem with the my ipod.  Sony claims that the ICF-CS15ip is compatible with the 4th gen ipod touch and I have the latest IOS 5.1.1 on my ipod.  Any suggestions before I go to the Apple store?  The Ipod is only 6 months old.

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd.
    That has worked for some users.
    However, sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility. In that case yo have to wait for either Apple or the dock manufacturer to issue a firmware update.

  • My 4th gen iPod Touch does not work with Ford sync since updating OS

    When I updated my iPod to the new os, it does not work with my ford sync system anymore. how do I fix this?

    Have lots of issues with Fords MySync and here's some info that might help....
    Using ford sync interface, goto the phone section, then settings, and look if your iPhones name is listed, if so select the phone name thru sync interface and remove/delete it from the sync list, then go thru the Bluetooth pairing process again.
    If that doesn't work, do the same on the iPhone, select ford sync entry in Bluetooth and remove sync or forget this device on the iPhone and then go thru Bluetooth pairing again.
    If that doesn't work Power off iphone ( not sleep) hold power button till you see red slider to power off. Then restart iphone, try pairing up again.
    If that doesn't work go back to MySync and goto phone settings and use the up-down slider till you see sync master reset. Confirm then go thru BT pairing again.
    If that doesn't work there is a fuse for the my sync system. Fuse box is usually behind kick panel of front passenger seat side for the Mustang #3, its behind a paper black cover. Remove fuse for 5-30 secs then replace.
    Lastly, make sure your MySync Firmware is the latest vers. Mines 4.0.2 goto fords MySync support page to check
    http://www.ford.com/syncmyride/
    or call 1-800-392-3673 Opt 3
    A google search might help for your model and year if not a newer mustang and you couldn't get to ford.
    Good Luck

  • Would apple charge me for fixing my home button on my 4th generation Ipod touch if it's under warranty?

    I have a 4th generation Ipod tough. My Home button hasn't been responding for a while now. I have to press it down really hard to get it to work. I want to go send it to a apple store so they can fix it, but I'm not sure if they'll fix it for free or If I have to pay for it, it's under warranty. I bought it at Wal-mart and has a 2 year warranty , plus the warranty for apple. I want to know if they'll do it for free, if not, how much would they charge me? I Also trouble shooted it and everything.

    If you have the AppleCare extended warranty (2 years total) and the iPod is within warranty, defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at not cost for a refurbished one. You can check you warranty coverage with Apple by entering the iPod's SN here:

  • All of a sudden, my 4th gen iPod Touch no longer works with my Apple TV, has Apple "upgraded" something to kill off this older unit? (IOS 6.1.2)

    All of a sudden, my iPod Touch (4th gen, IOS 6.1.6) no longer works with Airplay on my Apple TV.  It was working and still works as a 'remote' but not with Airplay which seems to indicate I've been abandoned by the message that pops up on the screen saying in essence "too bad you don't have IOS 7.1".

    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • Comparing 2nd gen and 4th gen ipod touch capacities

    Hi
    I have a 2nd gen Ipod touch that was 29.4Gb capacity with around 2.8gb left of space. I was gifted with a 4th gen ipod touch which has a 29.06 gb capacity. When I was trying to restore it from the backup of the 2nd gen ipod touch, it says I have 1.6gb left? Of course you have the 0.4gb difference but what happened to the 1.2gb???

    Was your 2nd gen the same iOS verson?
    Does your 2nd gen have the FaceTime app?
    Does your 2nd gen have the Camera app?
    Does your 2nd gen have the ring tones in Settings -> Sounds?
    Does your 2nd gen support separate alarm volume vs media volume controls?
    I'm sure there are other differences specific to the 4th gen which the 2nd gen can not do, so it would not include those bits.
