What is the difference in the 2011 ipod touch 4th gen and the 2012 4th gen?

Is there any difference in the ipod touch 4th generation that was made in 2011 and the one there is now? In other words is there anything new with the 4th generation now that the ipod touch 5th gen has been announced? I need a new ipod touch and don't know if I should shell out the extra $ for the 5th gen or just get the 4th gen that is $199 for 16gb.

Only you know whether it is worth it.  The main difference is a larger screen, Siri (when connected via wi-fi to the internet), and a 5 megapixel camera (the 4g has a 0.8mp camera)

  • IPod Touch 1st Generation and the 3.1 Update

    I have the +iPod Touch+ first generation and I was wondering what updates or features will work from the 3.1 Software update?

    There seems to be a problem with Apple. See:
                                      I purchased iOS 3.1 for my 1st generation iPod touch but I can't get apps on my ipod still                    

  • TS1702 I restored my iPod touch 1st generation and the App Store won't let me download apps I previously had.

    I got an iPod touch 1st generation and downloaded loads of apps, some paid some free. A few weeks ago I restored the iPod touch and when I went to download apps that I had already owned it said I needed a newer iOS.  It says I need iOS 4.3 and I have iOS 4.2.1 and when i tried to update it says I have no software updates.

    Do you have any of those apps saved on your computer, in iTunes?
    It is true that your 1st generation iPad is already now running the highest version of iOS it can. It cannot be updated further.  If the developer has pulled the older versions of their apps and now only offers versions requiring iOS 5 or 6 then you will not be able to run those apps any longer (unless you kept backup copies of the older versions in iTunes on your computer).
    Developers determine what version(s) of their apps are in the App Store. As many have updated their apps to take advantage of the enhancements in iOS 6 , they've pulled their older versions and no longer support them.

  • The volume icon on my ipod won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full.

    The volume icon on my ipod touch won't disappear and the volume sets itself at full. I have tried a master reset etc, but it doesn't want to cooperate. Any ideas?

    Try:
    - A 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If you still have a problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
    I do not know what a "master reset" is.

    You can't reset the iPod with the Home and Power buttons. All y can do is restore the iPod.
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs if necessary to allow the restore.:

  • The wi-fi on my ipod touch is connected but the internett is not working! Help

    Soo annoying, it's connected but the internett is not working. I don't know what to type in or what to do, so I need help.

    Are you 100% positive you are connected?  Head to Settings - Wi-Fi and tap the > next to the network you are connected to?  What is listed for an IP address?  If it's in the 169.x.x.x range, it means your iPod did not properly receive a valid IP address via DHCP from your modem/router. So the 169.x.x.x address is a self-assigned one.
    This can usually be resolved by a reboot of your router.  You can do this by unplugging it for about 30 seconds.  After it powers back up, try reconnecting it.  It wouldn't hurt to try a reset of your iPod as well.  To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • IPod touch sounds dull and the bass skewed if louder

    Hi there,
    I'm experiencing that the sound of my iPod touch is not good.
    The usage of the equalizer is almost not possible because the bass sounds ugly.
    Even without any eq-settings hearing a little bit louder introduces distortions to the music.
    It seems that the amplifier is simply not making it.
    I'm using Sennheiser in-ear plugs which work fine with all other mp3-players.
    Tried different eq-settings, automatic volume controll on/off - no improvement.
    Same experiences anyone?
    regards,
    Greg

    One thing to consider is that we're all listening to entirely different music, which makes all our opinions subjective. For example, listening to some recent music that is mastered incredibly loud (where the kick drum and other low elements are already harmonically distorted) comes through very loud on the Touch and distorts my car stereo speakers easily. Whearas older, "classic" music that was recorded and mastered in an earlier era will sound entirely different. keep in mind, many older classic recordings that haven't been remixed in the CD era were originally mastered for listening on LP records. A totally different experience than listening to an MP3-type file on a miniature computer with little earbuds or plugging into a car stereo AUX input. There are so many factors to consider, like the headphones you're using, the car stereo/speakers you're using, the music you're listening to, etc.
    Personally, I find almost all the iPod's EQ settings make things sound much worse than leaving the EQ off, however I find the "classical" and "electronic" settings make a lot of classic pop/rock sound good to me, at least with ear buds. The "treble booster" sounds OK too.
    I never use Apple's white earbuds; they sound really thick and midrangey to me. Anytime I get an iPod I leave them in the plastic forever. I'm using some earbuds that came with an earlier MP3 player of mine, a Rio Forge. They sound really good, considering their earbuds. You can't expect hi-fi from something like this, but I do like these.

  • HT1420 How do I get the songs transfered from my IPOD touch that are on the player but the sync won't transfer?

    How do I transfer songs that are on my IPOD touch to my new PC? It only recognizes songs I purchased on itunes?

    That is correct.
    The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only excetion is itunes purchases.
    The music came from your computer in the first place and should still be there and in your regular backup copy of your computer.

  • Ipod touch is frozen and the home/lock button combination does not reset it

    The ipod is not responding. I tried holding the lock/home button combo for more than 30 seconds. The screen will go turn all white then all black every five to ten seconds during the reset procedure. I hooked up to the PC and it did sync with computer. Since the display does not work, I cannot do anything else with the ipod. Please save me. My daughter is very upset. 
    I updated the OS very recently and I am sure it is the latest but I cannot see the ipod. Itunes says it is current though.
