Why does my iPod touch automatically go out of DFU mode, and not stay in it until I turn it on?
I put my iPod touch 4g intoDFU mode, then after 10 minutes or so, it turns on with iBoot. I know that DFU mode bypasses iBoot. It automatically boots out from DFU mode. Please help me, because I want to restore it.
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."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear?
Why does my ipod touch show up in iTunes then disappear? The computer seems to recognize it as a camera device, rather than a mass storage device. Does this have anything to do with the problem? When plugged in, a window pops up asking which photo program you'd like to use, and if you cancel, that's it. Even if you try to open a photo program, and download your photos off of the ipod, it still won't show up in itunes.
Have you had a chance to look at these troubleshooting pages? They may be of some help:

Why does my ipod touch 4gen keeps going back to home page when browsing on the apps store
Why does my Ipod touch 4 generation keeps going back to home page when browsing in the apps store.
I called apple 5 times today and asked me to restore it 3x the problem still exists. This problem starts to occur yesterday after upgrading to IOS6.
Apple customer service is not good enough as they cannot fixed the problem or tell me that I can change the unit as I just bought this 2 months ago.Because there is a bug in iOS 6 that effects the 4G iPod touch.

HT1975 why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location?
why does my ipod touch 4th gen can't detect my location? i thought it was because updating foursquare. i have erased and restored its settings, but i was able to use my foursquare before even after the restoration, but now it's not working even my location services is on. Though, it can detect location in other areas, but it cant detect my location at home when before it used to check-in using foursquare.

No, the iPhone can determine location by GPS and cell tower locations neither of which the iPod can do. So the fact that it works on the iPhoe does not tell you anything. It could be that your router is not in Apple's database. In that case you will just have to wait until they add it. Try using a public wi-fi source to see if location works there. -

why does my ipod touch keep charging when im not charging it ex. 77% 78% help me please
All batteries recover a bit when they sit for a little while. Also most iPod battery apps register only in 5% increments, because it is hard to really be accurate to the single percent. Just because yours shows in 1% increments does not mean it is actually accurate to that level.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
