Why do ipod touchs only last 1 year?
My best friend has as ipod and it's lasted for like two years now. I've had to buy 2 ipod's in the time she's had her's. Why arn't mine lasting as long as her's? I've heard somewhere that normal iPod touches only last 1 year.. WHY?? It's not like money grows off trees. And iPod touches arn't cheep either.. so please help. (FYI I'm having to buy my 3rd iPod touch now because my screen is all white. )
Maybe it's overheating from all the spellchecking it's required to do.
I've had mine 2.5 years and it still works great. Make sure you let the battery go real low once in a while and give it a nice full recharge. Make sure you don't drop it. Make sure you don't put it in water. Make sure you connect it to your Mac/PC once in a while, back it up, and restore it to original factory condition. the only issue I have is that the battery doesn't last as long as it used to, but it's still pretty good.

Hello,
I have a iPod touch 4g,last time when I paired with my friends iPhone it showed his iPhone's name along with devices connected earlier in the bluetooth list after I updated my software to ios 5.1 the names of friends devices appear as D1:FG:12:13:AK something like that and all the other previously connected devices appear in this same form in the bluetooth list how do I fix this back and it is confusing to connect to a device with no name but some unknown Bluetooth address so how do I find the device name back????
SO PLEAZZZZZ HELP!!!!!An iPod can only pair with an iPhone for internet sharing provided that the iPhone has the subscribed to the tethering plan. The BT profiles do not permit file tansfer between IDevices by BT. The only BT pairsin is by app and those ar for peer-to-peer gaming.

Why the iPod Touch 4G is getting heated at the top of the back besides camera. Apple stores have replaced 3 pieces but all in vain...
Disappointed after buying Apple Product...because sometimes they are prevented from sharing such information? they don't know? could even require sending it 'out' to a repair center.
though with most electronics, there is only so much that can be swapped out, and even then a new unit and let engineering see what and why.... and maybe there is a defective chip, sensor or even shorting -

iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting -
When trying to burn a CD, I realised that a LOT of my music (over 700 songs) are not on my laptop. I try and sync my iPod frequently however, a notice pops up saying 'erase and sync' or do nothing. Due to the fact the not all my music is not on my laptop I choose the option to do nothing. This has been going on for about 2 years now and I am struggling to find a solution.
All those new purchases that I have brought through my iPod in the last 2 years do not show up on my account settings nor as an option to download through iCloud. I understand this may be a simple fix, however I am not an expert in this field.
Any suggestions as to how to solve my problem are greatly appreciated.If you're referring to Microsoft Remote Desktop Connection then you need to post your question on a Microsoft forum as this forum is for troubleshooting Apple Remote Desktop...apples software for managing Mac on your network.
Please clarify which software you're referring to. -
hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?
Thanks for answerIf you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery. Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up. If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

Hey! I have had an Ipod touch for about 7 years and it has always worked! but for some reason i plugged it into my laptop and my computer is recognizing that it is plugged in but my itunes isnt what do I do?
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

- Reboot the computer
- 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.

2nd gen iPod touch only displays start-up apple icon, and is not recognized by iTunes - what to do?
Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

I had to restore my ipod touch 4g last night. After I got it restored, I noticed two things: I now have an app called "passport" and my music interface looks different. It's not drastically different, but I'm not happy with how it looks at all. Is there a way to change it back?
Your device was updated to iOS6. You will notice many changes. If you like, you can restore it back to iOS 5.1.1.

Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?
Does the iPod touch only use wi-fi or if it's plugged in to a PC can it use the internet?
I have never done this myself, however I know you can use some computer as the WiFi hotspots. Macs do, and some PCs do.
There is not a way to physically connect the iPod to use the computers Internet connection.
If you use Windows - look here for help and instructions.
