Trying to download ios 5.0.1 on 8gb 4th gen ipod touch, HELP!
I went on my itunes, I have itunes 10.5, and it came up with a box that told me that I can update my ipod touch to iOS 5.0.1. So I clicked download and update. It told me about how the update will delete my apps ect. So then it started downloading. It downloaded for an hour then nothing else happened. I have an 8gb ipod touch (4th generation). This is my fourth time trying to download. PLEASE HELP!!
I'm having the same problem with my son's IPod touch, it's driving me mad - can anyone help please?

HT1222 trying to download ios 5.1.1 on my 4th gen itouch, no tab for download
trying to download ios 5.1.1 on my 4th gen itouch, no tab favailable for download. Please help.
The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

Information regarding transferring purchases from your iDevice to iTunes on your syncing computer can be found at the link below.

I can't get iOS 6.1.1 on my 4th gen ipod touch. It says "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" Help?
My iPod 4th Generation does not let me download iOS 6.1.1...
The reason I want 6.1.1 is because I want to download kik and a load of other apps but I need 6.1.1.
The message is "Error. Unable to download iOS 6.1.1" or something, and I have no idea what it means or how to fix it because I know barely anything about the apple software things.
I've read a few things about it and discovered that this issue is common, but I can't get the answer I need, and the other posts about this issue were made like two years ago. I've got enough space, definitely, and last night it was downloading it so I put it on the charger and went to sleep, when I woke up it said "Cannot download. Internet connection is required." something like that. I had no issues last night, but now it's saying it cannot download.
Can someone please help?
I've not updated my ipod for a year or so now, but I'm still not sure why it's not working.
Thanks so much!
PS: I currently have ios 5 point something.You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

IOS 6 causing problems to my 4th gen iPod touch?
Are there any others like me out there? Okay I've updated my iPod touch approximately two days ago and now it's like the biggest regret of doing so. 1) when it was upgrading the software, my iPod touch went on froze for almost two hours and the upgrade wasn't loading. It only continued after a long while. 2) some of my apps suddenly "disappeared" 3) some of my apps crash when I try to open them (example: App Store, groupon, Facebook and even safari itself even though I only had one page loading) 4) everything became so laggy, my apps take almost forever to load, and whenever I type, it takes quite a while to show up especially in google search 5) sometimes my iPod just "crash" randomly and shows me a black screen for like 5 - 10 seconds and I can't do anything about it but wait until it recover.
iOS 5.1.1 was MUCH better compared to this. This is really a huge disappointment as it has greatly affected the productivity of my iPod touch. I hope your support team is able to recover and repair this damage caused by the upgrade. I look forward to a MUCH NEEDED IMPROVEMENT upgrade to counter this problem.Have you tried doing a DFU restore in iTunes? To do a DFU restore, you will need to put the iPod into DFU mode by following this tutorial: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
Then, select restore in iTunes. -
When trying to facetime a contact (which worked prior to update) it says that person is 'unavailable for facetime'. Some contacts work and some don't. Facetime is enabled in settings.
Also can message some people but not others - not necessarily the same people that can't be facetimed.
Anyone experienced similar or got any ideas?
Thanks.No, just some of them. Tried getting them to facetime my daughter which worked, but still couldn't facetime back.

When I tried to download iOS 6.1.5 to my daughter's iPod it gave me a connect to iTunes message and will not let her past that screen but when I connect to iTunes it goes nowhere
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

My 4th Gen iPod Touch won't open up the apps I've downloaded. I've tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the app and it seems to only be a temporary fix. The reset and reboot didn't work either. Help would be appreciated.
In more specific terms. The apps that came on the iPod like the weather and maps and whatnot have been working flawlessly. It's just when I download an app and then disconnect from wifi it's almost like I'm on a timer until the app stops working. It acts like it wants to open, the screen flashes black then resets to the home pages. I've tried all of the basic fixes, rebooting, reseting, uninstalling then reinstalling. But like in my...long...question, the reinstalling option only seems to be a temporary fix. I just recently downloaded the 5.1.1 udate (I think that's what it was) does that have anything to do with it, or am I just derpy when it comes to iPods?Try the other suggestions here:

Have a Macbook Pro and a 4th gen iPod Touch. Downloaded and install iOS 4.3.2 yesterday. Upgrade went without a hitch, but now iTunes on My Macbook Pro will not open. I get an error that says --The file "iTunes Library" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes--. I am running iTunes 10.1. I searched for Updates to my MacBook Pro (running 10.6.7), but comes back saying no updates available. WHAT IS GOING ON??
Is your computer still authorized in the Store menu in iTunes?
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.
Did you try to deselect Wi-Fi syncing and enable it again after that?

Did you already transfer your purchases and manually started a backup? -
I have a 4th gen. ipod touch. It has software 4.2.1 and itunes always tells me I need to update to ios 6. I always click download and install. After the download is complete, nothing happens. It doesn't install on its own and there is no option to install manually.. Thanks.
Are you sure it is a 4G iPod? Does it have a camera?

I am trying to download music on to my 4th gen Ipod touch but it keeps saying that It is unable to download song/ could not download at this time. Can anyone tell me how to download my music?
Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer..)
Release the Buttons... -
Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.
I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az -
Hello. I tried backing up my 4th gen. iPod touch to the 10/21/2014 settings, but when I tried that, it backed me up to the June 2014 settings, even though I back my iPod up everyday. Is there anyway to back it up to the Oct. settings? Thank you.
If a restore to factory settings did not resolve the issue, it's a likely indicator of a hardware fault, meaning you'll need to or want to set up an appointment at your local Apple Store/Genius Bar.
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

I have a 4th gen iPod touch that won't power up! I tried all the traditional stuff. I want to know how to tell if the battery is good. itunes see's the ipod in recovery mode. Tried dfu mode and did not work. Any ideas? I can hear the PC beep when plugging it in! I suspect a bad battery and trying to charge it ina wall charger made it hot!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

HELP
Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version. When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating.
I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod. (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......Thank you for you input so far.....
I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
Have I got that correct. I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!??? or am I missing something?
Thanks
Frustrated even more now!!
