What are the consequenses if I use my iPod Touch 4th generation as hard drive? Will all my music still be on there if I choose to set it completely to hard-drive or not?

I've noticed that you can partially or completely use an iPod touch 4th gen. as an external disc/hard-drive. Since I don't want to risk losing all my music, photo's, videos and whatnot, I was wondering if they would still be on there if I were to set the device to it's complete capacity as a hard-drive? And if so, wether I could acces and alter this content from within finder?

The iPod Touch does not support "disk mode" as other iPods did. However, as you are already aware, there are other ways to make this possible, but you can try them at your own risk.

Every night is fine. It is not desirable to let the iPod automatically shut off on low battery.

How do I turn off auto-renewing subscriptions on my iPod Touch 4th Generation. I have followed all the suggestions, but my device does not follow those prescribed steps. Can somone please help me. I'm not very computer savy.

If you go to yur account setting what do you see? The app subscription says:
• Auto-renew may be turned off by going to your Account Settings after purchase and must be turned off at least 24-hours before the end of the current period.
If that does not exist, and since eHarmony was not helpful, contact iTunes

What happens when you try to install the iTunes update? Error messages?
You might have better luck posting in the iTunes forum sinc you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem.

I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
Thanks.

Krispy2010,
Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store. Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned. It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.

How do I use my iPod Touch 4th Generation with air play with my Apple TV?

Can someone please help me. I need to find out if my iPod Touch 4th Generation can be used for Air Play with my Apple TV. When I go to photos I can use Air Play to display them. But I cannot use airplay for my apps like Facebook, and My games like The Sims. I am using iOS 6.0.1. Is that the issue if so, When you be updating the 4th Gen. Touch to be able to use it with the 6.0.2 version. I beleive Apple can do better with this. I just purchased my Apple TV yesterday, and I don't want to have to take it back already, because it doesn't work with my iPod 4th Gen.

Do the games and apps show the AIrPlay option? No all do.
The second article in my previous reply included:
From the Videos, iPod, Photos, Music, and YouTube apps on iOS devices, stream videos, music, and photos to an Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation), or stream music to an AirPort Express or compatible third-party device.
With iOS 4.3 and later, you can also stream video and audio from a website or a third-party app installed on your iOS device if the developer for the app or website has added AirPlay functionality

I still haven't received the iOS 7 update for my iPod Touch 4th Generation

I understand that the iOS 7 update has been out for a while but I still havent't recieved the update.

iPod Touch (4th generation) won't support iOS7 because it only has 256 MB ram, iPod Touch (5th generation) has 512 MB ram. (iOS update 6.1.3) is the last and end of line for the device therefore:
There is nothing you can do . . . If you want iOS7, you must purchase iPod Touch (5th generation).

What are the differences between new and refurbed ipod touch 5th gen.?

I'm about to purchase an ipod touch 5th generation, but I see there are some very nice units available from apple as refurbished. I was wondering what the differences are between the new (purchased today) and the refurbed (released sept. 2012)?

The only difference is that a refurbished iPod has been used before (or at least was sold before) and remanufactured. There are no differences in functionality or cosmetics between a new iPod and a refurbished unit of the same model and capacity.
Regards.

I just yesterday purchased an iPhone. I was transferring photos and using my iPod touch 4th generation. I used it this morning perfectly fine and right now I clicked on the screen and it took me back to the very beginning start up. Can I get my photos bak

I just purchased an iPhone, I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone. Everything was working perfectly. This morning as well I used my iPod to listen to music. By the end of the night I hit the home button on my iPod only to see it on the start up page (the one when you first activate your iPod) Is there any way I can get those photos back From my iPod some how! I do now have iCloud nor did I save anything to iTunes cause they were just photos on my iPod. Help please..

You said " I was using my iPod touch 4generation to send pictures to my new phone." Just what did yo do?
- If they are in an iPod backup then restore from that backup. Go to iTunes>Preverences>Version and look to see if y have a bavkup of the iPod. See the restore topic of:
iOS: How to back up
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting them from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer N/a since that is part of iCloud
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

What happens if you go on Twitter, click a phishing site, give your username and password to it (because you never knew) can the hacker also hack into your iPod Touch 4th generation?

Okay, so I went on Twitter and some chick replies to a tweet and she sent me a tweet going like 'you guys were doin what here, looks confusing' then sends me a link. There was no tweet conversation or anything but being an idiot, I pressed the link (I was on my iPod Touch and it's 4th gen) and it got some 'time session ended' or whatever. Again, being the idiot and regretting it, I typed my Twitter username and password. Then it showed some 'cash' thing I don't even know. I searched it up, it was a phishing site and I changed my password for the third time. I hope you're still reading this because I'm very desperate for help. If I did press it, will the hacker hack my iPod too? Thanks! xx

Nope, they can't hack you iPod. The can (or could) log into your twitter account and change the password so y no longer control the site.
If you used the same password for other sites/serves change those too.
You might also want to change other information information in the twitter account like secret questions/answers since maybe they already logged into your account to steal that data and plan to use that information at a later date.

My iPod touch 4th generation crashed twice when I was playing music and trying edit a photo. What should I do if it happens again?

I was listening to music and I wet in to edit a couple of photos, then as I started, my iPod went black and the loading apple came up. After I got in, I tried the same thing and it crashed a second time. I decided to leave it alone for now, but what should I do if my iPod crashes again? Thanks!

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

What is the best YouTube App for my iPod Touch 4th gen after iOS 6 comes out?

iOS 6 states that it will remove the default YouTube app due to the end of a licensing agreement. So I'm wondering what YouTube app is the best? (features-wise, rating-wise,etc)

Have you tried the Google YouTube app?
