Updating 4th gen Ipod w/o wall adaptor.. help...
I tried to update my classic 20gb Ipod this afternoon after 4gbs of songs were missing from my Ipod and was asked to plug Ipod into wall after update. Well I don't have the wall adaptor anymore, I left it in Oregon when I moved to HI to keep items to a minimum when I moved and everyone I know has a new Ipod that didn't come with one, what can I do other than having someone send me my wall adaptor from Oregon which will take a week (I don't know if I can live w/o my Ipod that long).
I've tried resetting the Ipod with the hold (on then off), menu+select button for 6-10sec and no luck.
Thanks!
Use a 6-pin FireWire port on a computer, a car adaptor, an unit such as the iPod Hi-Fi, or this method to complete the restoration process.

Having problems connecting 4TH Gen Ipod to home wifi!, Help please.
Okay so basically my Ipod will connect to any wifi connection, except my home wifi. It use to connect just fine, but for some reason it won't connect anymore. When I go to select my wifi, it shows & I tap on it, then a check mark appears, then a couple mins later the wifi symbol in the top right shows up. Even though it says it's connected it wont let me get on safari or anything, basically acting like it's not connected. I have a linkys router, & it's a unsecured network, & my laptop connects to it just fine, if that helps any. PLEAASEEE help me
- 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.
- Power off and then back on the router.
- Reset networks settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings

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!! -
hi , i have a 4th gen ipod touch and it runs on 4.3.5 but it wont let me update it to 5.1.1! everytime i try to install it..it says "sorry your network timed out" and wont let me! i tried so many times and it still wont work.. what to do?
Disabling the computer's security software (firewall and antivirus) usually resolves that error.

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?

My 4th gen ipod touch is running slow. how do i look for updates?
my 4th gen ipod touch is running slow with everything. how do i look for updates or is there somthing i can do to speed it up?
Th 4G can go to the current 6.1.3, To update see:
iOS 4: Updating your device to iOS 5 or later
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer.
You do have a 4G, right? It does have cameras?
Identifying iPod models
A 3G can go to 5.1.1
A 2G to 4.2.1 -
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 -

If I update my 4th gen ipod to the iOS 5, will I lose the data on my apps?
If I update my 4th gen ipod to the iOS 5, will I lose the data on my apps?
If everthing goes as planned, your app date wil be restored to the iPod. To help guard againste a possible mishap. sync (iTunes also creates a backup) the iPod before the udate and caopy the backup file to a save location in case something happens. The backup is located here:
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -
I have a 4th gen ipod touch. Since I won't be able to upgrade to 7, should I not update apps?
I have a 4th gen iPod Touch. Since I won't be able to upgrade to iOS7, should I avoid updating apps? The app update notices I am receiving state the updates are to be compatible with iOS7.
The iPod will prevent you from install apps and app updates that require iOS7. Recently that have been problems with 4G iPod giving a bade indicating that update were available but when you went to the update section of the App Store app no updates were listed. That was due to an error on Apple's parts since the app updates were only compatible with iOS 7.

4th gen ipod, need help on what has gone wrong...
i have a 4th gen ipod, bought less than a year ago still under warranty. the ipod service site for some reason is having trouble with my billing address for the shipping charges. when i type in my billing address (which is the same as my shipping address), it says "more than one jurisdiction possible (0,0)).
ANYWAY
the problem with my ipod is that, a couple weeks ago, the ipod seemed to not be holding that great of a charge, but no big deal. than it reset itself a couple of times within short periods of usage. then, the ipod will not work without a power source, or when its plugged into an outlet. only when plugged into a usb port. i get the ipod update software, install it, then it tells me to plug the ipod into a wall outlet.
NOW, it cannot be recognized by the computer, no charge, and when i press a button to "wake" it, it just shows me a screen with a picture of a wall outlet. i left it plugged into the outlet all weekend. NOTHING.
oh, and when it would only charge with the usb port, every once in a while the computer would have a pop up that says "the usb hardware you have just plugged in has malfunctioned".
since i am having trouble with the ipod service, suggestions? this sound like a dead battery? if it is, i might take a chance and install it myself so i dont have to wait so long for it to be serviced.
thanks and p.s. i dont proofread my posts (habit)Get a new battery put in it.

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? -
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 new 4th gen. iPod touch is not being recognized by my PC
When I plug in my new 4th gen iPod touch, the computer just says that it is a USB device that is not recognized, what can I do? My operating system is Windos Vista.
Does the iPod work OK?
Have you tied resetting 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.
Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
