Why don't the new 4th gen ipod touches come with the headphones with a mic?

They came with the 3rd generation 32g & 64g ipod touches, why dont they come with the 4thgen ipod touches -___- Those headphones are expensive and i would like them to at least include a **** charger too.

Probably because the earlier iPod Touchs did not have a built-in mic like the 4G does.

  • Does the new 4th gen ipod touch come with a protective case?

    Also, does it include any other accessories, like a screen protector?

    No, it does not come with a case or a screen protector. Not from Apple, anyway. There may be a store somewhere that is offering them as a combo...you know...buy an iPod Touch and we'll throw in this screen protector and a case for free. Or for some price. In fact, I have been searching the web for a case for my iPod Touch 4th generation. There are many, many cases and things for the first, second and third generation iPod Touchs, but nothing for the 4th generation. It is too new. Not Apple's fault. It only came out a few weeks ago. Companies will be selling cases for them soon, I'm sure. I purchased a case for the iPhone 4th generation. The two 4th generation units (iPod Touch and iPhone) are very, very close in size. The only difference is the height. I can tell you that the case does not quite fit. The iPod Touch slides a bit inside the case. Depending on what kind of case you want to buy, it might not matter.
    As for the protective screens, yes they are for sale for the 4th generation iPod Touch. Do a search on the web (Google, Bing, Yahoo, whatever) and you will find them. I purchased some from Amazon.com. They have not come yet. In fact, I just received notification that they were shipped today. But these protective screens are just for the 4th generation iPod Touch--they have holes where the camera and the power button are. I can't tell you how good they are yet. They were 3 for about ten dollars. I could have purchased less screens, but the price per screen was higher, obviously.
    Good luck, have fun and enjoy your 4th generation iPod Touch!

  • My new 4th gen. iPod touch is not being recognized by my PC

    When I plug in my new 4th gen iPod touch, the computer just says that it is a USB device that is not recognized, what can I do? My operating system is Windos Vista.

    Does the iPod work OK?
    Have you tied resetting the iPod? Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Next would be to place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore via iTunes.  If iTunes does not see the iPod then the iPod is not usable. For recovery mode:

  • How do I fix the sound on my brand new 4th gen iPod touch?

    I recently ordered a refurbished 4th gen iPod touch and it arrived today. Everything seems to be working fine except the sound. I'll play a song or video and the sound will either come on for a couple seconds sounding distorted, or not come on at all. I've already restarted the iPod a few times and am currently trying to restore it. Is there anything else I can do to fix it?

    From speaker?
    From headphones?
    From both?
    Tried another pair of headphones?
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • The internal speaker stopped working in my 4th gen ipod touch, what could be wrong with it?

    the internal speaker in my 4th gen touch stop working, i can plug the headphones in and it still plays sound through them, when i unplug the headphones it wont play sounds outloud how would i fix it?

    Try the sandard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup[
    - Restore to factoy defaults/new iPod
    If still a problem you very likelu have a hardware problem.  Likely a problem with the headphone jack. An appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store would be a good idea.

  • Why does my 4th gen ipod touch not find the same wifi signals that my macbook does?

    My macbook connects to btfon/btopenzone everytime,  but my ipod touch can only occaisonally recieve the signal and when it does will drop connection very often.

    Also, the Mac, if relatively new, will see networks that operate on the 5 GHz N band. The iPod only sees 2.4 GHz networks..

  • I have a new 4th gen ipod touch and it won't connect to itunes

    running window XP, SP 3, itunes 10.5.2.42 (or whatever is the latest version out yesterday)?  Went through trouble shooting with apple support. Uninstalled itunes, reinstalled, checked that the apple device driver is installed and set to automatic.  Computer recognizes ipod in my computer as a camera but not connection to itunes.  ipod nano connects, no problem. So is it the operating system of the ipod touch?  Running Avast antivirus and Spybot Search & Destroy. Its pointless to keep the ipod touch if I can't connect it to itunes.  Any suggestions?

    - Have you tried disabling Avast and Spybot?
    - Have yu tried everthing here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Do you have another computer to try to help determine if it is a computer or iPod problem?
    - The Nano uses a different iOS so it not a good comparison.

  • How much space does the 4th gen iPod touch 8GB actually have?

    I'm considering buying the new 4th gen iPod touch but am not sure whether to get 8GB or 32GB (wish they had 16GB). My 2nd gen iPod is 8GB, but only has 6.8GB available according to the about tab. I'm down to about 500MB, and am about to import 1GB of music. I'll pick and choose for now (70% I don't listen to anyways). But does anyone know how much available space there actually is for the new 4th gen iPod touch 8GB (I know 32GB is plenty big )?
    If it's not worth it, I won't buy it, but mine is having a few problems and I would like a new one that I know is fine instead of refurbished w/ the battery needing replaced (and a camera would be nice).

    I do use it a lot for games...they tend to be larger files. My songs are whatever my dad buys and whatever I buy. Once I import this big batch of songs I will be at 700 songs and then will only add more when Dad or I buy them. I make a lot of money for a high schooler but my mom doesn't like how much I spend on iTunes (she's not into music the way I am). I don't want to have to pick and choose on which apps I have on my iPod. Songs, I can pick and choose if necessary. I just hate running low on available space.

  • New 4th gen ipod won't connect to internet

    My sister just bought a new 4th gen ipod touch today. Everything works fine with it except for the internet. Now I own a 2nd gen ipod touch and my internet connection works just fine. Why doesn't hers work? I've tried turning the wifi on and off, and turning the airplane mode on and off as well. Our wifi only works through our computer modem. Is the ipod just not picking up the modem's signal or is something wrong with her ipod?

    - Does the SSID of your router show up in the list of networks available on the 4G iPod? 
    - Have you tried resetting th 4G iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - If SSID still  does not show up on the 4G but does show on and the 2G iPod then I would first restore the iPod from backup.  If still problems then restore the iPd to factory defaults.new iPOd
    - If still not SSID then you likely have a defective iPOd and should make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or you could call AppleCare.

  • When synching my 4th gen ipod touch I get error msg saying ipod could not be backed up because session could not be started with the ipod. It only does synch steps 2-5. Do I have to restore it?

    When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?

    You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes.  When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

  • HT1386 why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again?

    After iOS6 update, why my 4th gen iPod touch syncs the movies again? It used to sync with iTunes just the new one I marked. Now it seems to syncs the whole set of movies I have. Why?

    When you connect the i-touch to your computer do you notice the "Other" portion of the space on your itouch may be over .5gb?
    The average space for the "Other" portion is roughly less then .5 GB ... Its the yellow bar in i-tunes when your i-touch is connected ... I had the same issue where the "Other" portion of my i-touch 4 was reading like 5.5 GB, I did some research and found that that space is actually not free space at all, its actually full of left over files and such.
    The way to decrease the size is to back up what you have, and restore it.  then reinstall all the apps and music and videos.  You will notice all that yellow bar is almost gone, and you will have a lot more space!

    HELP
    Help needed to update a 4th gen ipod touch running version 4.3.5 (8L1) to the latest 6.0 version.  When I connect and try to update i keep getting a box which states that a connection error occured and I cannot update.
    I have been given a new laptop for xmas which runs on windows 8, and the new itunes version (which is in itself a hurdle as I am a technophobe!) and this is all becoming a bit fustrating. 
    I have connected, updated and synced my iphone successfully, but just hit a brick wall on the ipod.  (which incidentally maybe where this laptop will end up!!)
    Help if you can, but in laymans terms.......

    Thank you for you input so far.....
    I think we are getting nearer to the solution sort of!
    Let me get this straight...... I have paid for content on itunes, bought the apple devicds in order to play said content, now I have to subscribe $25 for the privilage of playing MY library content on MY other devices. Which wasn't such an issue to do before the new and improved itunes version!!
    Have I got that correct.  I think I cannot associate my other iOS devices with my library because I am unwilling to pay further through the nose!!!???  or am I missing something?
    Thanks
    Frustrated even more now!!

  • Whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one ?

    whats the difference between the 4th gen iPod touch and the new one apart from it being white?

    Yeah it sadly appears to be only color, I guess Apple and thier infinate wisdom decided iPod touches dont need to be as fast as the new iPhone. If it had a5 it could do Siri:(
