Why is my internet so slow on my iPod Touch?

Okay, I'm very irritated by the performance of my Ipod Touch generation 4's internet browsing. I don't know what the problem is! I'm currently using my home wireless internet, and it's very strong (According to the wi-fi icon on the top of the computer desktop, it's at its highest potential, and we have a strong internet connection.) Which brings me to my next question, why is my Ipod Touch sooo slow? It's been happening for more than 2 months now, and I can't access Pandora, Facebook, Safari..nothing! The quality is getting really bad! And whats really aggravating about this WHOLE thing, is the fact that I take good care of my itouch! And I know this because, whenever i want to slam it on the wall, or crack it in half, or give any harmful gesture to my ipod, i RESTRAIN myself and wait when the "loading" sign is taking a little too long, or when the pop up sign comes out and declares it's not working. I try my BEST to be paitent with my ipod touch, and yet my internet is not showing any gratitude. Right now, I'm so frustrated and I just want to know... WHY!!!
P.S I DO upgrade and Recover whenever I connect it to my iTunes/Computer.

KristenF,
We'll get you those lightning fast speeds you're looking for! Is the internet slower on your 6 than it was on your 4s? What kinds of apps or actions are running slowly and have they always run slow on this phone? We'd love to check the coverage in your area to see what you can expect. What zip code are you in?

Why can't I stop and restart my ipod touch OS update?

Why can't I stop and restart my ipod touch OS update?
I'm working in West Africa, and iTunes says it will take between 8 and 11 hours to download the OS (5.0.1). But I never have that long a stretch of uninterrupted electricity or internet. Every blink off and I have to start again at zero. Bit torrents are already an old technology. What gives? Basically, I WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO UPDATE MY IPOD. And probably not my macbook.

Try a manual update as defined here:

Does the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g ?

I think the IOS 8 is slow in the iPod touch 5g

If you are a developer using iOS 8, you need to move this discussion to the Developer Forum.
Otherwise, iOS 8 has not been released and is not available for discussion yet.

Why does Apogee Jam not work with the Ipod Touch 4G

Hi,
I have a Apogge Jam an it works fine with my Mac Book, but it does not seem to be compatible with my Ipod Touch 4g.
Only the Gibbson L&M app recognize the Apogee Jam, but no other App (Ampkit, ....) :-((
With the IPhone 4 it shall work, can tell me anybody why Apogee Jam is not compatible with the Ipod Touch 4g (
although the Gibson-App works)?
Is there perhaps still other Apps which work with the Ipod Touch and Apogge Jam?
Thanks
Michael

I cannot answer the specifics, but I would guess it is a software issue because Griffin iTalk app will cooperate with the Apogee JAM on an iPod Touch 4g running iOS5. If this app can do it, then one would presume the other apps could be updated to do it also.
From last week up until yesterday, Apogee actually listed the 4G Touch as a compatible device with the JAM.
Apparently there was some confusion about Garageband now supporting iPod Touch and its functionality with JAM.

Why do Outlook calendar invites appear on my iPod touch calendar but not my icloud calendar

Why do Outlook calendar invites appear on my iPod touch calendar but not my iCloud calendar? I use Outlook at work and if I want to add events to the calendar on my iPod Touch which I use as a PDA I simply create the event in outlook select my gmail email address and invite myself. The event appears on my iPod Touch...all well and good...now with the advent of iCloud I would like to see all events on my iPod calendar on the iCloud calendar that I view on my PC. At the moment only events that I have added directly onto the iPod calendar appear on the iCloud calendar.
I have messed around abit syncing and unsyncing, Turning the Calendar on and off in the iCloud setting on the device but nothing is really working. Any easy to follow suggestions or is it a trip to the geniuses in order?

Not sure why you'd want to alter an artist name anyway but...
In iTunes, right-click selected track and click "Get Info" then edit the artist field and possibly the album artist too (edit as in... make sure they have a value (the correct artist name)). Delete the faulty track on your iPod and then re-upload the new one.
Another thing is that if you left the music player open on your iPod when you add the new track, sometimes I find that it doesnt find any of the new songs you add until you close and then re-open the app on the iPod.

Why the app tab does desappear from my Ipod touch 4?

Can someone tell me why is desappear the app tab from my Ipod touch 4? How can I do to see it again? I need it to download app on my Ipod. Thanks

You cannot delete the apps store icon.
It is either on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set. Have a look.
If none of these is the case then reset your home screen layout.
All of this is covered in the manual:
iPod touch User Guide (For iOS 4.3 Software)

Why don't they have a 16gb 5g iPod touch?

Why don't they have a 16gb 5g iPod touch?

the reason is that people are using more and more memory so because the pictures are higher in resolution they use more memory with the retina display so they need the extra memory to store more photos/applications/movies and of course videos that you record.

Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation?

Why can't I download Pandora app on iPod touch 4th generation? When I search for the Pandora app in the App Store it comes up and shows that it is free, but it does not allow me to click on the button to download it. The Free button is not highlighted. No problem downloading any other apps. I appreciate any suggestions. Thank you!

It might be incompatible with the current version of software on your ipod Touch.

Can Internet Explorer run on an iPod touch or iPhone?

I mainly want to run Internet Explorer 6 on my iPod touch. Microsoft Support Communities gave me a link to Apple Support Communities to resolve this issue. I have Jailbroken the iPod, if that helps.

For what reason would you want such and ancient and insecure browser running on a modern device? Do you want some unscrupulous person hacking your device?
Use Safari, Chrome, Firefox, or Opera.

Why is my internet so slow?

OK... I have an office out behind my house that I publish a weekly 'shopper' from. Been in business for 20+ years and I have most of the latest, greatest Mac equpiment. I have an Apple AirPort base station in the office and a bridge in the house for internet access at home. It used to almost as fast in the house as in the office. Lately my interner signal is just as strong as ever, but my sppeds in the house are a staggering 1.3 mbs. I have MediaCom cable in the office which advertises up to 50 mbs. ( usually only get about 15-20mbs )..... any ideas as to why my speeds are so slow @ home??? The wireless base station in the house is about 40 feet from the one in the office.....

Most of the time server slow downs are the culprit. If it is hit and miss with a particular web site then it is probably that site's server. If all sites are slow than it may be:
1. Your Internet Service Provider is doing maintenance.
2. Bad files in Safari's cache or cookies. If you don't mind losing automatically filled in passwords (stored in cookie) you can clean out Safari in a jiff. With Safari open go up to the 'Safari' menu and select 'reset Safari'. This will clean out the cache files and cookie files and history files and may put you back to normal.
Reminder: Web site passwords are stored in cookies so if you delete the cookies they will disappear and you will have to reenter your passwords.
3. If you have Norton Antivirus it may be updating its virus definitions and clogging your internet.

Why is my internet speed slower on my 4g iPod touch compared to my 1g iPad (Wifi only), though we use the same router?

i bought my 4g iPod touch just 3 months ago fromt the US. Internet speed was just fine and working consistently while i was using a d-link router.
my Wi-Fi network is password protected and since has not affected the speeds on my pc or my iPad (wifi only). However, just 4 weeks ago, i bought a new router, an Aztec one. That has not improved or worsened the speeds on my pc or iPad, but worsens only my iPod touch, even though it says its connected and has a full signal strength.
Here are the symptoms:-
1. iMessage is now really slow as after i click send, the loading bar at the top lags.
2. i can't go on to google or any site or app that involves internet connection e.g. Facebook, Twitter
3. I can't purchase or get apps from the App store as the searching takes way too long.
4. Now as i pull down the notifications bar, it shows temperature but no stock; i can't even access the Stocks app
5. I can see the temperature for the day on the notifications, but i cant see the details for the rest of the week like i was able to
6. I now cant read any updated emails on Mail as it takes way too long
I live in a country called Brunei, and speeds are the worst there, yet they shouldn't be this slow especialy when my friends and other devices are working.
So, what's wrong? Is it my new router?

Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Why did iOS 5 make my brand new iPod Touch so slow?

Recently downloaded the new iOS which, by the way, took nearly an entire night due to connection failure with host. Since then my iPod has been almost glitchy. I keep my apps pretty clean. I don't have a lot. And when I'm done with one I close it with the hold+home and "x" it down. However, still the new iOS runs slow. Will there be a new release coming soon with some bug fixes?

You may want to try a few things to try and deduce the problem:
1. back up your iPod touch with iTunes
2. remove an app that you suspect may be large or makes heavy use of background work (some apps may use the network a lot via the background scheduling services of iOS)
3. reboot, then repeat 2 until the problem disappears (you can blame the last app that you removed!)
4. if the problem does not disappear, try a restore to factory settings.
The iPod touch has limited working memory (half, in fact) compared to an iPhone 4(S) or iPad 2. While iOS should be able to handle these memory conditions gracefully, it also depends on how well apps respond to shutting down when iOS tells them to. Stubborn or rather large apps can cause the performance of your iPod to degrade momentarily until memory congestion settles.
