Updating IPad and 4th Gen Touch

I am getting an IPad2 compatible with latest version ITunes and have at present a 4th Gen Touch which I would also continue to use. If I updated to latest Version ITunes would I still be able to use my Touch without losing any data on it and also use same account number and password. If so what would be the procedure.

Yes. Updating iTunes keep it current with newer OSes. But you can continue to use it with older ones just the same.
All you need to do is update iTunes directly. There's nothing you need to do on your iPod.

WiFi, Keynote on 4th Gen touch, and Projector

I have a project coming up. In one corner of the room will be my 17" MacBook Pro with Keynote, hard-wired to a projector, and showing a slideshow (loop - no need to manually do anything). I have a VZW WiFi device with good reception/coverage at the site. If I download/purchase Keynote for my 4th gen touch, will I be able to - via WiFi - "control" my MacBook Pro and change slideshows from across the room? And/or edit a show on my touch (just text slides) and get it onto the projector?
Sorry if I am either (a) missing very basic concepts, or (b) not being as clear as I should be.

The Apple server a likely overloaded with the IOS 8.3 update.
You can try using these instructions but select iOS 6.1.6 for the 4G iPod. If yo select any other file you will get errors:
How to Install iOS 8.1.3 Update on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch
Use the Step 5 update using iTunes instructions but download the iOS 6.1.6 firmware for the 4G iPod. Note that if you try to restore to earlier than 6.1.6 you will only get errors

4th gen touch and iTunes Match no longer works

I have a 4th gen touch, and iTunes Match no longer works - I choose it in settings, and it just turns itself off a few seconds later - it worked before, and I had to restore the iPod, and it doesn't work any more.

Hi randy_m,
If you are having issues with your iPod touch turning off iTunes Match unexpectedly, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
Force an app to close in iOS
Next, I would try restarting and if needed resetting the iPod -
Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPod as a new device -
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area

I had a screen replacement and now the Ipad 4th gen touch screen is not working in one area ( a strip across the middle). We tried 3 different touch screens with digitizer...any ideas?

Since Apple doesn't replace screens, they replace the iPad, I presume you had your screen replaced by an unauthorized service provider or perhaps you replaced it yourself. That voids the warranty and the ability to get assistance from Apple. If someone else replaced your screen take it back to them and demand the correct the problem.

I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I need help!

I have an Ipad and an Ipod Touch 5th gen both on the latest firmwares but they won't connect via Bluetooth whenever I try even though both shows that the devices are discoverable. I also tried connecting them with my Bluetooth enabled laptop but it also didn't worked. Because of the Bluetooth not working I also can't enable airdrop.

Can't crate new playlists in iTunes or add content to 4th gen touch

I have a 2009 MBP 17" 2.93 IC2Duo, running OSX10.9.5 and iTunes 12.0.1.26.
itunes will let me create a playlist name from the pulldown menu, but not from the '+' down at the bottom of the screen. The setting Icon doesn't work down there either. When I drag a file, single track or album over to add to the playlist, the box is highlighted, but the icon just floats over the top of it and tracks with the cursor until I hit ESC and then click (then it slides back to the catalog list).
this is the same result if I try to drag music onto a 4th gen touch. its been reformatted, home shared, purged and whatever the **** else you can do to it to clean it , but still no dice.
can i get the option to reload iTunes? when i ask for update i get the ole the ver. is current window.
anyone got any thoughts or advice?
Thanks!

For some reason, I can't switch the order of my tracks in iTunes DJ. If I click on a track and try to drag it to a new position, it won't work.
Select all teh tracks in iTunesDJ and press Delete.
It will immediately re-populate.

Battery charging mini and 4th gen

I Have a new 4th generation IPad and a mini I pad for my wife arrived today. The charging adapters are different. The mini one is smaller. Will it be O.K to charge the mini with the larger adapter? We are going away and one cable & charger will be good.

The mini and 4th gen both use the lightning adapter it is quite small. Either you didn't buy a 4th gen or you were ripped off.

Go to Settings/iTunes and App Store/Apple ID, sign out, restart the iPod and sign in again with your Apple ID.

4th Gen Touch won't load anything WiFi related, help would be appreciated.

I have a 4th Gen Touch, 64gb.
Got it about three days ago, and have since been connecting to my phone's WiFi.
(I have a HTC Desire HD)
It had been working absolutely fine, no issues, was loading app store, itunes, and safari pages all fine.
Yesterday, it just wouldn't load, as if I had no connection.
Now, it shows that the ipod is connected to my wireless.. it just won't load.
Please help.lol.

If you've already tried the hard reset (holding down the sleep/wake and home buttons until it restarted), power cycling, and resetting network settings, you may want to try restoring your iPod through iTunes back to its original factory settings. You'll want to back everything up to your computer first.
Here is an article that can walk you through the steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
It is important that you do set the iPod up as a new device at the end of the process to prevent copying over any potential problem directly from your back up image. Test it out. If it still won't work talk to the folks at Apple to see if there is anything wrong with the iPod.

Itunes will not remove or install apps on my 4th gen touch.

Please help before I take a sledge hammer to this thing! I purchased an app on my iphone 4S and transfered it to I tunes. Now my 4th gen touch will not remove or sync any new apps. It lookd like the changes have been made in itunes but they are not on the touch. I have removed the restrictions and unchecked automatic sync as mentioned in other posts to no avail. I have done a reset on the touch and restored from a back up and still nothing.

Try removing GBA4ios and then set up the date and other things correctly. Frequently with incorrect time/date you can't connect to some sites.

I attempted to updated my Ipod (4th Gen) to iOS 6 today on my computer. When updating an error occurred, it then said i needed to restore it so i did. It then came up with another error. Now, everytime i turn my ipod on, it asks me to connect to iTunes

Today, i attempted to update my iPod (4th Gen) to iOS 6 on my computer. When it was updating it came up with an error, it then asked me to restore my iPod which i did. During this process it came up with another error. Now, everytime I turn on my iPod, it asks me to connect to iTunes. When i do this, it connects to the computer but doesnt show up in iTunes. How do i fix this?

Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.

I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer.

I have two iPads and one iPod Touch and they are using iTunes on the same computer. I have not been able to backup the second iPad. Is there a reason this is happening? iPad one is an iPad 1 and the second is an iPad 2 not sure if this has something to do with it. I just tried to upgrade to IOS 5 and when it went to back up it gave me an error code (-5000). I tried to back up using iTunes and it told me that my backup was corrupted and to delete it and try to back up again. When I went into the device portion where I was instructed to go to delete the backup I found that there was no backup for my iPad just the iPad 1.
I have synced many times and all of the apps, podcasts, music, etc... show up in iTunes, and iTunes recognizes that is is the second iPad but there is not a backup for it.
Any Ideas?
