Upgrade to 4th Gen ipod touch - apps missing
I upgraded from 3rd gen ipod touch to 4th gen and some apps and contacts do not show on my new ipod.. any ideas how to fix?
Contacts are included with the backup, which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. Although included with the backup, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. If not and your iPod Touch is lost or stolen and not replaced with another, kiss your iPod Touch contacts goodbye.
Yes you should have transferred the backup for your 3rd gen to your new iPod especially if you don't sync contacts with a supported address book application on your computer. When connected a new iOS device to iTunes for the first time on a computer that is used to sync another iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iOS device to the new device, or set up the new device as new or don't transfer the backup. Now you must restore the 4th gen with iTunes from the backup for the 3rd gen. Be sure to sync the 3rd gen with iTunes before doing so.

Ios 6.0.1 4th Gen. iPod touch app store never stops loading
I installed ios 6.0.1 on my iPod 4th gen. and the app store loads for 5 to10 minutes and then says that it could not connect to the store.
If you have iOS 4...you cannot....
Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and “ Check for Updates “...

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.

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?

When I changed to my new MacBookPro I had to authorize it although I used TimeMachine to transfer my settings and data.

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:

I am upgrading from a 2nd gen ipod touch to a 4th gen ipod touch. Will I have problems syncing my new ipod to my existing itunes library/account?
Don't know why you would.
You can sync as many ipods/iphones/ipads as you like. -
Will iCloud work when iMac (1.83 GHz. Intel Core Duo) is running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4th gen. iPod touch (iOS 6) because unable to upgrade to Lion due to processor's inablit to meet Apple's specifications for Lion? My family had three iPod touch (iSO 6) devices and currently use iClou, but set it up with a Macbook Air using Lion- but yesterday it died. Is there any way to retain the use of oPod touh devices, iTunes purchases, and iCloud services (and the huge amount of money spent on the) if not able to use the Macbook Air? I know the iMac is "old" but do not have thousands of dollars to purchase new computer at this time.
10.7.2 or later is required to use iCloud on the computer. Your iPod Touch, however, would have full use of iCloud.

4th Gen iPod Touch music app is going haywire.
Recently my 4th Gen iPod Touch (version 6.1.6 recently updated) refused to sync any music. I have had it synced to my computer for more than a year and have been adding new music with the 'Autofill' option. However, last night it refused to sync music. The songs are visible on my iPod but greyed out. This has happened before. Usually it will sync eventually but this time is different. Around the same time my iPod was claiming to be overcapacity. I looked up solutions but none seemed to be particularly helpful. I did delete some music and videos off my iPod to no avail.
Eventually the problem seemed to fix itself with the overcapacity claim disappearing however the data then began to inflate and adjust itself out of nowhere. It would claim my music was taking up 30gig before saying 4gig. Everything seemed to be going haywire with the data reading. When I checked the music app the artists tab claimed I had no music. I selected a song and discovered that it wouldn't play but rather start shuffling in the playlist. I can't do anything to stop this. I have turned the iPod off and on and soft reset it (I think, I held the Power and Home button for several seconds) but the actions have done nothing. it is incredibly confusing as the iPod is only 2 years old and I would like to avoid buying a new one. I'm not sure how helpful a restore or reset would be but I will try it if there is no other option. I've searched the net for an hour trying to find out if anyone has encountered the same problem. Everything else works fine except for Notes which stopped opening months ago. Incredibly confused and would appreciate any help or advice.Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

My 4th Gen iPod Touch has my location wrong
My 4th Gen iPod Touch that runs iOS 5, has my location way wrong.
On the weather app, maps app, other apps, and icloud it shows my location is some house in Columbia, SC.
The problem is, is I don't live anywhere near Columbia,SC! I live in Jacksonville,FL! So my question is, is why is my iPod doing this, and how can I fix it?The iPod get its location from where the Apple database thinks your router is located. (Was your router ever in Columbia SC?). In any case, sometimes Apple 's database is incorrect. There is nothing you can do about it. Apple should eventually correct it.

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!! -
When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?
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

am i missing something? i basically have to lose all my apps in order to add tunes.
its doing my head in, Help pweeeessee..Hi
Try to reset your iPod and then deauthorize and reauthorize your computer, then sync the iPod again.
To reset the iPod touch just hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see an Apple logo appear.
You can deauthorize the computer from the iTunes Store menu.

HT1386 why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again?
After iOS6 update, why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again? It used to sync with iTunes just the new one I marked. Now it seems to syncs the whole set of movies I have. Why?
When you connect the i-touch to your computer do you notice the "Other" portion of the space on your itouch may be over .5gb?
The average space for the "Other" portion is roughly less then .5 GB ... Its the yellow bar in i-tunes when your i-touch is connected ... I had the same issue where the "Other" portion of my i-touch 4 was reading like 5.5 GB, I did some research and found that that space is actually not free space at all, its actually full of left over files and such.
The way to decrease the size is to back up what you have, and restore it. then reinstall all the apps and music and videos. You will notice all that yellow bar is almost gone, and you will have a lot more space!
