Why is my iPod Touch 4th generation messed up?

My Ipod Touch is playing the music, but when I go to the music tab and select the "songs" tab, I've seen it has 985 songs, yet when a song is playing the song list changes when a song is playing saids I have 969, but on itunes I have 990. So what is going on with my iPod?

I do not think the iPod is killing your USB port. the port/computer have overcurrent protection that prevents computer damage by a short in a USB device. If you have a short or other device problem causing the device to draw too much power, the computer will disable the port and you will get a messages saying the device is drawing too much power.
SInce it happens with other cable, it has to be a problem with the iPod, likely the connector on the iPod.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Why is my iPod Touch 4th generation playlist shuffle repeat malfunctioning?

I have a 4th generation iPod touch that is malfunctioning whenever I shuffle play a playlist, album, or individual artist's songs. I always leave the playlist repeat option on when I listen to a playlist or artist and all the songs in the playlist will play fine, but when the playlist ends and is supposed to start over from the beginning it does not play the first song that began the shuffle. It plays a different song that is in the playlist in the first slot and then continues in the same order as the first time through the playlist. For example I have 5 songs by the Eli Young Band on my ipod & when I play these 5 songs on shuffle with the loop option on their order through the first play through is Say Goodnight, When It Rains, Crazy Girl, Always the Love Songs, and Even if it Breaks Your Heart. Then after the fifth song the playlist begins again but instead of playing Say Goodnight in the one spot it played Even if it Breaks Your Heart followed by When It Rains, Crazy Girl, Always the Love Songs, and finishes with Even If It Breaks You Heart. So in the second play through of the playlist Say Goodnight was skipped & Even if it Breaks Your Heart was played twice & I can't figure our why. This happens with every artist and playlist I have no matter how many songs are in the playlist, and a different song is placed in the one spot and then repeated later every time the playlist repeats. The ipod has done this since I got it in December 2012, and I have already tried turning the ipod off and back on and restoring it to factory settings to try and solve this problem with no luck. I have also installed the iOS 6.1 software and the problem still persists. Any solutions to this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Try hitting the button again so it shows the replay sign and a little #1 in the top right corner of the icon.

Why would my ipod touch 4th generation be stuck on a blue and white screen

i need help finding out why my ipod touch has a white screen with a blue line on it. I was reading then it started changing different colors now its stck on a white and blue screen

Things like that sometimes just happen. To try to resolve try:
- A 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.
- Connect to computer and restore via iTunes.
- If screen stil shows that, and yu could not restore, let the batttery full drain. After charging for an hour try the above again.

Why does my ipod touch 4th generation lose power even when it's turned off?

When my ipod touch is turned off for a couple of days, it loses most of it's charge. Is this normal?

Are you turning the iPod Off via depressing the Power button until the Slide to Power Off appear and sliding it? If not the iPod is sleeping and the iPod is still doing stuff when sleeping and it is normal for the battery to fully discharge is a few days, especially if wifi is on.
If you are really powering the iPod off that is not normal and indicates a hardware problem.

Why does my iPod Touch 4th Generation freeze?

Hey everyone. I'm on iOS 5.1.1. After I slide to unlock my iTouch, the screen doesn't respond from 5-7 seconds. This happens every time when I haven't used the iPod for a couple of minutes. I don't want to turn off my auto lock, because I forget to lock my screen and it uses the battery. When my bluetooth is enabled, the iPod doesn't freeze after I slide to unlock. I don't want the bluetooth on because I don't want it using anymore battery than its already using. I have restored/reset my iPod numerous of times.

It really helps if you restart the whole thing. You see the problem is that when you use your ipod allot ,you take up allot of memory so thats why it freezes and it may go to the extent that your ipod may not work if you dont " RESET ALL SETTINGS". I try this and afterwards it was working PERFERCTLY. you go to setting>>general>>reset>>RESET ALL SETTINGS then it should work without freezing if it still have problems then i suggest taking it to the apple store. I hope it helped anyone.

I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up.

I have an ipod touch 4th generation and have just recently downloaded the new update. I was wondering why the videos that I had added in my playlist won't show up. Is there anyway that I could get my videos to appear in my playlist? They are still in my ipod in the video section, but just won't appear in my playlist.

iOS6 problems aplenty ....not sure if the link I inserted is working or not, but the issue is a lot more prevalent - the issue being that what shows up & plays in iTunes after the iOS6 update is not what shows up (& plays) on the device itself. This may go beyond just the iPod Touch as well.
In my case I can see & play both audio & video files in my Playlist through iTunes, but can only see the Playlists on the iPod Touch with ALL of them being empty. Syncing numerous times no help. Contacting Apple Tech. Support no help - they suggested downloading my Purchases from the iTunes Store - waste of time, did not make a difference. It is clear Apple needs to release a fix to OS6.
Another problem I noticed on the device is that the Shuffle option is hidden on the built-in Songs Playlist, having to swipe the screen down to see it - dumb dumb dumb.

How do I fix the connection issues on my iPod Touch 4th generation to connect to iMessage?

I am getting very frustrated with this iPod Touch 4th generation. I have been using my 2nd generation iPod Touch to use iMessage to text people and use as a 'fake iPhone' because carrying around my cell phone and iPod is annoying.
Basically, I have tried multiple times to change the DNS on every network to the google public server (8.8.8.8) and this does not work.
I attempt to sign in to my Apple ID on iMessage and it says "iMessage Activation: Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." Even though it claims I cannot connect to the internet, I can connect and browse on Safari and other Apps, but iMessage (also Facetime) will never connect or let me sign in. I continually receive that error message that I need to check my network connection. I just don't understand why. iMessage will work on my iPad 3rd gen and my iPod Touch 2nd gen, but not my iPod Touch 4th gen.
I am using my college's WiFi network and it is hit and miss in my building, but both my iPod touch 2nd gen and iPad 3rd gen can receive iMessages and everything fine. I am starting to think that the 4th gen ipod touch just has a crappy wifi receiver or something.
PLEASE help me fix this. I don't know what else to do.
I just updated to iOS 6.1.2 and that did not fix it either.

I know this question is no related directly to your topic, but I wanted to know how did you get imessage in ipod touch 2g. I have one but it doesn't have imessage. I will appreciate your help. Thanks in advance.
