Why doesn't the ipod 4 get updates anymore?

The ipod 4  stopped getting updates.

Because Apple appears to have stopped making them; iOS 7 and above requires at least 512MB of RAM. Nobody on these boards can say for certain whether there will be more or what the exact reason is.

  • This is messed up  why doesn't the iPod 4tth get iOS 7 I am very mad.

    Really messed up how you are making us buy a 5th gen iPod just to get iOS7. Apple needs to be fair.

    There is nothing unusual about this.
    All devices become unable to run the latest software at some point.
    Would you prefer they dumb down the new ios so that it can run on lesser devices?

  • Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

    Why doesn't the iPod touch have the A7 chip if it supposedly made for gaming and hardcore apps?

    Apple has not released a new model of iPod touch since the A7 processor was introduced. When Apple will, or indeed if they will, is as lllass said not something any of use here would know. We'll just have to wait and see.

  • Why doesn't the pwdchangedtime attribute get created?

    In OID, I set up a password policy where passwords never expire. Then I create some users. Then, I change the password policy so passwords expire in 30 days. But, the passwords never expire for the users I previously created. I think it's because the pwdchangedtime attribute never got created. But, if I change a user's password, then the pwdchangedtime attribute gets created. Why doesn't the attribute get created when I change the password policy?

    which version are you using?

  • Why doesn't the iPod classic sync properly, and how do I fix it?

    Notes
    Before anyone mentions the lame suggestion of "Restoring", let me add that I have done that. Alot.
    I'm pretty good with computers, so please get as nerdy as you want, just as long as you're only trying to help me.
    This disscussion should only be about this particular problem, please refrain from posting you're problems to this (Make your own discussion).
    If necessary, contact me via email if you need more information, or have other misc. questions or inqueries.

    Additional Details
    The iPod works fine after immediate restoration, however, after adding 500 or so songs it seems to quit responding and appears to terminate communications with computer while freezing iTunes. After fiddling around I usually grow tired and unplug it and iTunes quickly displays a message saying to restore the iPod, although it's unplugged... This happens everytime, so it's not a rare situation for me. I've tried repeatedly on two Windows computers and a brand new Mac.

    It is hit or miss whether replacing the cameras will resolve the problem. I would first try taking it apart and then carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cables.
    Since it both cameras it is likely not a problem with the logic board but still could be.

  • Why doesn't my ipod see my artwork anymore?

    Sorry to be a pest.
    How can we get the fix for this.
    I do not want to restore what is there.
    I hoped that the new 7.1 would help but it did not.
    Any ideas??????????

    I've tried everything suggested here at at the ipod site.
    It seems if you add anything to itunes and add the art there it will turn up on the pod. I don't want to reload the works though. I took the tunes from 100s and 100s of sources and it took me months to organize it. As you know the art is in there it just needs to be FREED!!!

  • Why doesn't the iPod Touch 5th generation come in green?

    I'm looking to buy a new iPod beacuse my beloved poor old iPod touch has decided to die - its screen has dislodged and from then on its slowly died. How come green isn't a colour that the new iPod Touch comes in and does anybody know why it doesn't come in that colour?

    Lets see, Space Gray, sounds so futuristic, it's almost black, goes with everything, because gray is the New Black, and gun metal gray is to political. Silver to add a touch of class. Pink, because girls just like it, and you can show you support for breast cancer awareness. Yellow, is fun, makes you think of spring. Blue, if you have pink for the girls then you need blue for the boys. Red, it goes faster then the other iPods and you can show you care about curing AIDS. Green, well Green makes you think of money, and money equals greed. If you put money and greed ahead of fun that creates bad vibes and could cause the total collapse of the whole Western economy! 
    Doesn't that sound better than, "I don't know." Cheers!

  • Why doesn't the "recent items" menu update?

    The recent items menus on Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio neve update, cna clearing the menu doesn't help...how can I fix this?

    don't know, but there are certain basic troubleshooting steps that might help.  Delete FCP and DVDSP preferences using preference manager (go to digital rebellion's site for free download)
    www.digitalrebellion.com
    Do other programs' recent items update?  Does the systems recent items in the apple menu update?  If not, it's probably an os problem rather than an final cut studio problem.  You might try repairing permissions in the diskutility.

  • Why doesn't the Canadian site get movie options?

    why can't we get movies in Canada. apple is only provoking society to download movies illegally so they can use their videos to get their money's worth. We need movie's on the Canadian site.

    As has been said here many times already, the movie studios (so far only Disney even in the US) have not licensed Apple to sell movies outside of the US. There's nothing Apple can do unless and until they're granted the rights. When, or indeed if, this will happen, no one can say, though Apple has said that they hope to be able to offer movies internationally sometime in 2007.

  • Why doesn't the 7.2.2 update work for the Quad PPC?

    since we've discussed being upset about this, I thought I would pose this rather simple 'technical' question.
    also, is it possible to adapt the universal binary to PPC (using X-code or something)? any programmer people that can answer this?
    just for discussion, of course

    Definitely same codebase (that's not the point, however). But, there may still be certain pieces of code that need to be added in via a compiler directive (not to mention other compiler directives) that is specifically geared to the PPC. Again, more than just a simple matter of a straight compile.
    There could be other issues as well, such as the lop-sized CPU-usage issues on the PPC that may need to be resolved, which may not be apparent on the multi-core Intels due to differences in design. This problem is bad enough at times on a dual processor G5.

  • Why doesn't the 'lock/protect' tab work anymore?

    This used to work until about a week ago, now it shows as being active, but it no longer works.

    Is this for Tab Mix Plus? It does not seem to be a normal Firefox option. Do you have the latest version of Tab Mix Plus?

  • I have an ipod touch 8gb model number MA623LL. How do I install apps on my ipod? Is it capable of transferring/running apps? Why doesn't my ipod touch have the basic-beginning app on the beginning screen after i erased/wiped my ipod and started new?

    Googling shows that you have the 1G iPod.  For apps you need at least iOS 2. The iG can go as far os 3.1.3 that you get here:
    Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
    Just be aware that there are presently not that many apps that work with a 1G with iOS 3.1.3

  • The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    The iPod touch 5 battery won't charge, the iPod battery gets hot and doesn't turn on...  What is wrong?  Can photos and data be retrieved?

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. I suspect a hardware problem  due to the hotness. If iTunes can't see the iPod then uor only hope if to contact a data recovery company for getting data off the iPod. If you have an iPod backup you can restore another iPod, iPhone or iPad from the backup to get the data that was in the backup

  • Manually Manage Music Option get error The iPod cannot be updated error(-50

    I am following the instructions on how to move music to a new computer. When I get to the step "Switch the iPod to manual update and enable disk use" and try to apply the 'Manually manage music' option, I get the following error: 'The iPod (my iPod) cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50). I have tried moving my dock between the two USB ports on my Dell but nothing works..can someone help?

    I tried some additional things and it seems to have fixed the problem.
    First, I forced the iPod Service to close using the Windows task manager (control-alt-delete and then closing it). I then restored my iPod to its original factory settings using that option in iTunes.
    I renamed the iPod and then set up what I wanted to sync with it. I have made a couple of changes and they have worked.
