Why does the iPod Touch 5th gen 16 GB, not have a rear-facing camera?
I am looking to replace my daughter's iPod Touch 4th Gen 16GB, but I can not find a model like hers that has a rear-facing camera. The new 5th gen 16GB, only has a front-facing camera, where the 32GB and the 64GB have front-facing and rear-facing cameras.
My question is, why is that?
lllaass said it, because thats the budget version, its much cheaper. The 16GB costs 229$ and the other ones with the back facing camera 319$ or 419$.
Apple always sold a budget version of the iTouch.
With the 2G in 2008, the 8GB was much cheaper than the 16 or 32 GB.
With the 3G in 2009, the parallel kept the 8GB 2G for a reduced price.
The 8GB 4G in 2010 was also cheaper than the 32 or 64GB one.
In 2012 - June 2013 they kept the 4G iPod next to the 5G.
And now the only sell one model - which is the 5G due to the fact that only this model can run iOS 7, and they needed to remove a feature in order to reduce the price.

Why doesnt the Ipod touch 5th gen have Battery Percentage with IOS 7?
I read that the Ipod touch 5th gen will have battery percentage with IOS 7. But so far it doesnt. Just wanted to know if this was a lie or if something happened and apple decided to remove it.
"Battery percentage in status bar added to iPod Touch (5th generation)"
I seen this
and i have seen pictures of the Ipod touch with the percentage next to the battery on the apple website. -
I didn't see this asked so sorry if this is a duplicate question.
In Itunes (it is the most recent version for windows available as of 2/12/2014) all my podcasts are showing they have downlaoded to my PC. They don't have the little cloud next to them. I sync my Ipod touch 5th gen. The sync shows everything was synced. I look at the "Whats on this ipod" tab and they are listed. But when I disconnect the ipod via the "eject" icon on the Ipod button in itunes and look at the podcasts they still show as not downloaded (greyed out and if wifi is turned on the little cloud is next to them ).
So whats going on? I had this issue with my ipod touch 4th gen as well and though it was because the podcast app stopped upgrading but the itunes on windwos did. But the syncing of the podcasts are even worse with the 5th gen then they were with the 4th gen.
I typically don't have wifi turned on since I want to sync the ipod via itunes. So I have a central place to keep the old podcasts without having to take space on the ipod itself. I saw some references to the downloading of podacasts are done only via wifi, but that just didn't make sense. Why be able to sync Itunes if they are just going to turn around and make you do the same on the device?
Any ideas? Suggestions?
Thanks for the help in advance.Maybe:

so I have my ipod touch 5th gen connect and the little lightning symbol, next to the battery on the top left, keeps flashing on and off every second. I don't know what to do and also it doesn't show up on iTunes.
Hey Ed, Try trouble shooting 101. Do you have a different cable and/or charging device? If so, try the different cable first, then a different charging device. If the problem goes away, I'd say it's the cable, replace it. If with in 1 from date of purchase, Apple will replace for free if the cable is found to be defective. If the problem continues with a different cable or a different charging device, then the problem is with your iPod. With a strong light and a magnifying glass look in the iPod's charging port. Your looking for damage in and around the port. Is the port lose? (shouldn't be). Are pieces missing or damaged? Bent or damaged contact pins can do what you describe. Foreign debris, namely pocket lint or corrosion can also cause charging issues. If you see something like lint, try to blow it out, or if you must use a non-conductive probe, I find a round wooden toothpick works well to carefully remove the lint from the bottom of the port. Just be careful to not touch, bend or damage the gold contact pins on the long side of the port. Also make sure the locking pins on the short ends (looks like two silver bumps, one on each end) of the port are free to move. If you find corrosion, try plugging / unplugging about 12 times to clean the contacts off. If you must use a cotton swab cut to fit, with a drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol on it, you want it damp, not wet, then plug it in and out until the swab comes out clean. You will most likely need several swabs. If you find nothing physically wrong, then try resetting your iPod. If that does not work, restore from backup, last resort, make a backup then restore to new, a full factory restore. If issue continues see your Apple store and have it evaluated for a possible hardware issue. But start with a different or new cable. Good luck, Cheers.

Why does my iPod Touch 5th Gen not go back to sleep after a notification?
No matter what notification it is, my iPod will stay with the screen lit for forever, just resting on the lock screen. I have to physically hit the sleep button to put it back into sleep. I have the auto-lock set for two minutes, and it's now beginning to not even auto lock after that. Anyone run into this? Thanks!
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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

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.

i tried to log in using my sister's iphone with foursquare and my account was able to check in. so it's all in my ipod's?
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. -
