Unable to Face Time with Ipod Touch 4th Generation
We have 2 4th generation Ipod Touch's. When Face Timing each other, only one can initiate the call and connect successfully. Say Ipod A FaceTimes with Ipod B, but can't connect. It just rings on Ipod A and does not ring on Ipod B. When Ipod B initiates FaceTime with Ipod A it will connect successfully. Now Ipod A can initiate FaceTime with Ipod B successfully but only after B connected with A first. Confused yet?!?!
I tried to recycle power; turn wi fi on / off; turn face time on / off; sign out of the Apple ID account etc. This only causes one to work and the other to not when both are powered up at the same time.
Again, once one of them can successfully connect then they both can FaceTime each other.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Hi lllaass
I am still and will be staying on 3.1.2. I am not ruining my iPod's battery life and WiFi connection by upgrading to iOS4. No app is worth that!
Normally updates of the apps that now requires a newer version of the iOS will not show up on the Touch.
Reading through the other thread suggested by CeeZeeCZ I can see that this is a common problem these days.
Thanks Apple. Stellar as usual!

Unable to home share with iPod Touch (4th Gen) and iPad 2
Since I have upgraded to iTunes 11 I am unable to home share my HD movies to both my iPod Touch (4th Gen) and my iPad 2
I was able to home share all my HD movies before iTunes 11.
I know that the iPad 2 and 4th Gen iPod Touch can only support 720p, but by streaming/home sharing that was the work around.
But again, once I upgraded to iTunes 11... when I go on my iPad or iPod Touch I can no longer see them in my shared library.
Here is the crazy part though... if I go downstairs and get on my 2nd gen AppleTV... I can see all my movies in my shared library.
DO YOU THINK IT IS iOS 6.0.1 ????There are no setting on the iPod. Unlike the iPad wich morrors the iPad display, TV out on an iPod only displays TV out on apps that support TV out. The Video app is one such app.
Is that you problem?
Otherwise:
Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

Average battery time for ipod touch 4th generation
I recently bought an iPod Touch 4th Gen, and I'm surprised at how little use I get out of it between charges. I'm hoping someone with more experience can give me some feedback that might help me determine if what I'm seeing is normal.
I'm getting a maximum of 2 days use out of the iPod. I am currently using it a lot, as I'm still choosing apps and transferring data (sometimes by hand) from my old Palm. What I'm not doing is much in the way of power-hungry activities like video or games. I would say my average daily usage is...
- Downloading 3-4 apps (I'm trying different apps for budgeting, gas mileage tracking, etc.)
- Sufring the web (maybe 5-10 minutes a day, usually reading up on those apps or using the IMDb app
- Checking the weather once or twice on a few different apps (trying to find a good one)
- Adding things to a shopping-list app, or using it for shopping
- Using the calendar a few times a day
- Checking email maybe once a day (only if I'm tracking an issue at work and I'm not at my desk)
- Maybe playing one or two game of PoolBreak (every other day on average)
I have only once watched video, and I did it specifically to test the battery. I have a couple battery-monitoring apps, both of which tell me, after I get my first 20% warning, I should still get over an hour of video. So I tried playing a video, and got only 20m in before the iPod shut down.
Also, when I plug it in to charge, it shows the battery at 45% full within 5-10 minutes. I know there's a rapid-charge for the first 80% or so, but that seems rapid enough that I wonder about the capacity.
So...that's it. Any insights from iTouch owners would be appreciated.Unfortunately, that's normal. The iPod uses a lot of power. For additional battery information see: http://www.apple.com/batteries For suggestions for conserving your battery see http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html

I can't connect JBL Flip with ipod touch 4th generation
I connected the JBL Flip with my MacBook Pro and it worked fine, music was coming out of the JBL. When I try to connect from my ipod, it does not. I turned bluetooth ON on my ipod, then "Searching..." is displayed and the speaker never shows up. Any tips on this? The user manual from JBL is useless.
hi,
i just opened the flip and paired with one ipad and subsequently wanted to pair with my ipad. my ipad kept searching and searching and could not find the jbl flip even though it was right next to it. i had the same problem as the original post. I think the following is what ultmately solved the problem. first i turned off the blue tooth on the first ipad (not sure if this mattered) so the flip wouldn't be connected to it. i could not find a reset nor how to take the batteries out simply on the flip. . I DID though hold the power button for quite a while on the flip. I did this long enough for the red light (vs the blue light of the flip) to flash. once flashing red i turned back on blue tooth on my ipad and it discovered the flip. i touched the ipad screen to select the flip and then discovered the flip.
I hope this helps -
As I've already mentioned, I can't connect to iTunes or the App Store, the same message appears every time: "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". I downloaded a few apps before I connected my iPad Mini to my Computer. I started doing an update that was about 9 or 10 hours long, somewhere around that time, and I unplugged it about halfway through the update and since then I've not been able to get onto iTunes or the App Store. I checked to see if I could continue the update but when I looked on iTunes again, no updates appeared. On my iPod Touch 4th Generation, everything works absolutely fine and it is logged into the same Apple ID. I've tried resetting my Network Settings, logging into someone else's Apple ID, connecting to a different Wifi, changing the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8, rebooting my Computer and iPad and changing the HTTP Proxy to Auto. Is there anything else I could try or am I just overlooking something? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here, thanks!
Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan. -

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -

Missing FaceTime app
If you are unable to use FaceTime or locate the FaceTime app on your iPad 2 or later or iPod touch (4th generation) or later, try the following:
If FaceTime is not available in Settings: Note that FaceTime may not be available on devices purchased or used in certain countries, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.
In Settings > General > Restrictions, verify FaceTime and Camera are On. Disabling Camera also disables FaceTime.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Restore your device:
Back up your device to iCloud or iTunes.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.
Note: This will erase all user data from your device.
When complete, configure your device by selecting your region and language and then restore your data using the iCloud or iTunes backup.
Note: When setting up and restoring a backup from iTunes, ensure that your computer's language, country, and date and time are set correctly.
If you still cannot locate the FaceTime app, try turning it on at Settings > FaceTime.

I typically download my music directly from youtube. I have never had any issue when it came to putting it on my ipod touch (4th generation). However, today, I downloaded a couple of songs, added them to my iTunes (11.1.4). When I hit "sync" it said at the top that it was "Synching iPod: Steps 1of 3." It went through these steps incredibly quickly, a matter of seconds really, and I went to check it they had synced. They had not. I tried this several times before uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes. Even with the re-install, it does not work. I am wondering if it is because these songs were not downloaded directly from the iTunes store. i tried downloading a song from the iTunes store and it is currently in my iPod, so I know that it is able to sync music. I just started using this version of iTunes as I just installed it on the laptop I just bought (windows 8).
Was the iPod setup via iTunes on this computer?

No correct, you do not need iOS for FaceTime. You only needed to update to iOS 6.1.6.
