Why can't I set up iMessage or Facetime on my new (second) Ipod Touch 4th Generation?

It says I have a bad connection or something but on my 1st Ipod Touch I CAN set up imessage and facetime. On my second one I can't. Why is that?

  • Can I download Apps to my computer and then transfer to an IPOD touch 4th generation?

    I'm thinking about purchasing an IPOD Touch, 8 GB 4th Generation.  I have Internet acces via Time Warner Roadrunner and my Dell Computer has Windows 7 Professional as an operating system.  My questions are:
    (1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
    (2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
    (3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
    (4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
    (5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
    (6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
    Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?

    (1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
    Yes, AS LONG AS you are connected to a working Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet.
    (2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
    Yes.  See here: Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store
    (3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
    Yes. Search the App Store or do some research via Google regarding google calorie tracking apps.
    (4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
    You can only check for email when your iPod is connected to a working Wi-Fi network. It does not use a cellular data connection like an iPhone or 3G/4G iPad can.
    (5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
    Songs prices vary.  Any where from free to a couple of dollars.  You'll have to just look around the Music Store to get a better feel for the pricing model.
    (6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
    Definitely a case of some sort that will protect it from scratches or further damage if dropped.  That's about all I will offer though.
    Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?
    8 GB isn't that much storage space especially after you consider that some of that is taken up by iOS and take into consideration how storage capacity is reported. You'll only have about roughly 6.5 GB of free space to use. So if possible, I would purchase the version with the next highest capacity at 32 GB.

  • I can't get the app store or iTunes to load on my ipod touch 4th Generation.

    It just keeps saying loading and nothing happens and I've tried resetting it a couple of times and still nothing

    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.
    - 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: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    I just hit the home key very fast 3 times and it worked. Glad to see that someone suggested this to another person with a mini. My gremlins are all gone.  Yea to the forum .......Marci 73361

  • Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?

    Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?  When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it.  The Free button is not highlighted.  No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

    It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.

  • In the new update on itunes i can't sync my ipod touch 4th generation why can't i?

    In the new update for itunes it wont let my ipod touch 4th generation conect so i cant sync my music onto it no more what can i do?

    If you have Win 8.1 then if
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    does not work I have not seen a solution. It seems there are problems with 8,1 and the latest iTunes version

  • How do I fix the connection issues on my iPod Touch 4th generation to connect to iMessage?

    I am getting very frustrated with this iPod Touch 4th generation. I have been using my 2nd generation iPod Touch to use iMessage to text people and use as a 'fake iPhone' because carrying around my cell phone and iPod is annoying.
    Basically, I have tried multiple times to change the DNS on every network to the google public server (8.8.8.8) and this does not work.
    I attempt to sign in to my Apple ID on iMessage and it says "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Even though it claims I cannot connect to the internet, I can connect and browse on Safari and other Apps, but iMessage (also Facetime) will never connect or let me sign in. I continually receive that error message that I need to check my network connection. I just don't understand why. iMessage will work on my iPad 3rd gen and my iPod Touch 2nd gen, but not my iPod Touch 4th gen.
    I am using my college's WiFi network and it is hit and miss in my building, but both my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPad 3rd gen can receive iMessages and everything fine. I am starting to think that the 4th gen ipod touch just has a crappy wifi receiver or something.
    PLEASE help me fix this. I don't know what else to do.
    I just updated to iOS 6.1.2 and that did not fix it either.

    I know this question is no related directly to your topic, but I wanted to know how did you get imessage in ipod touch 2g. I have one but it doesn't have imessage. I will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.

  • IPod Touch 4th Generation Wifi / FaceTime, YouTube, & iMessage Question

    I got my iPod Touch 4th Generation today at an Apple store. Brand new. I opened it up, used FaceTime & iMessage for a while, and then I shut it off. When I turned it back on, and tried to go on FaceTime or iMessage, it asked me to sign in. Gave me a "Get Started" page. So, I sign in ( mind you, I'm connected to WiFi the whole time. I can surf the web, no YouTube for some reason, but I know WiFi is on and connected ) and a pop up comes up. The title is, in this case it's for the iMessage, iMessage Activation and it says "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Same thing happens for FaceTime. It worked before, so I don't know why it's doing this. I turned my WiFi on and off, and I can't do anything about the router because it's not mine. However, I know it works because I can surf Safari, and use internet on my laptop. Please help! I've looked everywhere for an answer and nothing. I just got this today! And it worked before. Please help.

    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.
    There's more that you can try but you just got the darned thing today.  Perhaps a return visit to the store is appropriate.

  • I just got an iPod touch 4th generation for my daughter. I already have a iPhone 5 setup with iTunes. All I want to put on her iPod is music and apps. How do I set the iPod to only get that information using my iTunes?

    I just got a new iPod Touch 4th generation for my daughter. I have a iPhone 5 that is already set up on iTunes. The only thing I want on her iPod from my iTunes is music and apps. How do I set her iPod up so that it only gets that information? Do I set it up as a new device? If so will that alter my iTunes?
    Thanks.

    You can set up more than one device on your computer, and iTunes will remember the settings for each of them:

    But you'll have to use your Apple ID to sync bought media to her device. Disable all other things you don't want to sync like photos, contacts, etc.

  • I have an iPod touch 4th generation and I can't upgrade to iOS 6.1.3 (or to any editions)

    I have an iPod touch 4th generation running iOS 6.1, and my grandma's iPhone 4 could upgrade, so I thought I'd try it out on my iPod. I go to software update u set my system settings, and it doesn't do anything! It just stays still and says "Checking for Update." I pressed the home button and tried again, but the same error occurred. I do not have a computer, but I do have an Internet connection? Is there any way that I can upgrade my iOS to the latest edition without a computer? I cannot reset my iPod, and I have so much stuff on my iPod it'd take forever. Please help!

    You can connect to any computer and do it but it is a lot of work. When you restore after following the following instructions and iPod will also be updated.
