Why isn't iOS 7 supported on 4th generation iPod?

Why isn't iOS 7 supported on 4th generation iPod?

Same reason any new software cannot be run on any old hardware.
As time goes by, new software requires more and more from the hardware.  Older hardware simply cannot keep up.
This is not odd or unusual in any way.

  • Can i get ios 7.0.1 on my 4th generation ipod somehow

    Can i get ios 7 on my ipod touch forth generation, i will do anythin for it?

    You need a special iOS 7 for your 4th generation iPod touch, and Apple has not released it because it does not meet iOS 7 requirements. The 4th generation iPod touch has got 256 MB of RAM, which are not enough for iOS 7, so you have to stay with iOS 6.1.5

  • Why can't apple make there mins up and support ios6 siri to 4th generation ipod touch

    To answer the question in your title;

    They have made up their minds. It isn't available for older iPod Touch models.

  • Why isn't my browser supported?

    One of the challenges of delivering desktop-quality software
    inside a browser is, well, the browser itself. For more details on
    our approach to browser support, its challenges, etc. please see
    the posting on the Acrobat.com blog.
    http://blogs.adobe.com/acom
    Browsers aren't all the same, and there is a fair amount of
    work to get things working right, especially with keyboard
    shortcuts and the clipboard. We've focused on the most common
    browsers first: Firefox (Mac & Windows), Internet Explorer 6
    and 7, and Safari 3.
    For example: We’d like to follow convention and provide
    the typical Cmd-B shortcut to make text bold. However, Firefox on
    the Mac uses Cmd-B to open bookmarks in the sidebar; so Buzzword
    was forced to use Ctrl-B for making text bold.
    For
    Firefox under Linux, we're providing limited support. We
    have done some testing and we believe it works well, but we're
    interested in your feedback. Please be sure to upgrade to the
    latest Linux version of Flash Player 9 available at
    http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer,
    and also be sure to adjust your preferences as described in the
    initial page you'll see when visiting the application in Firefox
    under Linux.
    Other browsers may work (Opera, Camino, etc.) to some extent,
    but we can’t make assurances that all functions will work.
    We appreciate hearing from users who want to give Buzzword a
    spin under non-supported browsers, as it helps us focus our efforts
    and testing.

    Hi,
    After trying Opera AND Firefox to post a reply to "Why isn't my browser supported?" I'm now using IE (7 not 8 - that's not working, too!). Maybe that's the first thing that should work in all browsers - the forum.
    The second thing, and that's why I originally wanted to post something here, is that I had problems typing "&" and "/" in Opera. They don't seem to be at the same key as usual. (I have a german keyboard...):
    Shift + ^1234567890ß´
    Key (normal):   °!“§$%&/()=?`
    Key (buzzword): ^!@#$%^&*()ß`
    Additionally everything seems a little bit slow...
    Regards,
    Ireen

  • Why isn't my laptop supported for windows 10?

    I recently bought a Satellite E45-B4100 with Windows 8.1. I assumed it would be upgradeable to Windows 10, but it's not on Toshiba's "supported" list. Can I still get Windows 10? And why isn't this laptop supported????

     
    Satellite E45-B4100 (PSPNAU-001002)
    Sure seems peculiar that the following model is supported, but not the E4x-B series. Those in the same part-number family, are almost identical. Maybe some application software?
    Satellite S40-B (PSPNA)
    (Or maybe Toshiba just got the chart wrong.)

    i have model a1367, 8gb, 4th generation ipod touch.  how do I update it from ios 4.2.1 to 6 or more?

    Update it from iTunes on a computer as described at the bottom of this article; there isn't a Software Update option in General on iOS versions prior to 5.0. It can only be updated directly to the newest iOS release supported by the device’s hardware, which is iOS 6.1.6 for a fourth generation iPod touch.

  • TS1286 None of these articals are helping me, why isn't my computer fiding mi brand new IPOD?

    None of these articals are helping me, why isn't my computer finding my
    brand new IPOD?

    Did you try here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    Does the computer have iTunes 10.7 or later?
    Does the iPod charge?
    Some 5G iPods were shipped with defective Lightning cables.
    Try on another computer to help determine if you have an iPod, cable or computer problem.

  • Why is my 4th generation ipod capacity showing 6.46GB instead of 8GB

    why is my 4th generation ipods capacity showing6.46GB instead of 8GB

    Most of the difference is taken up by the iOS itself.  The other is due to how GB are advertised and actually used.  See the Consumer confusion for the later.

    ever since i updated my 4th generation ipod touch software to 6.0.1 it keeps shutting off for no reason. anyone know why it might do this?

    If the reset does no work
    Try:
    - 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 iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    Maybe the replacement is defective.

    Why does my 4th generation ipod shaw an icon of an ipod with "X ed" eyes and it won't charge or do anything?

    It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days.   The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

  • Since updating to iOS 8 my iPad 4th Generation wont synch any media like music or movies, just artworks of the music I already have

    Since I updated to iOS 8 my iPad 4th generation my iPad wont synch any media like music, movies or TV shows. It always starts to synch like any normal iPad but just when its stars to transfer the movies, music or what ever new media I want to get on the iPad, it instantly restarts the synch, and the only thing it does is synch the artworks for the music and movies, but I does not transfer any media. I have restored my iPad 4 times, nothing different, I have reinstated iTunes on my PC 3 times, nothing changed and I dont know what to do.

  • Can I update ios 5 from 4th generation ipod touch?

    I want to buy the 4th generation ipod touch, but I also want the ios 5 installed into the ipod touch. However, I don't want to wait for the ios 5 release date in the fall to buy the ipod. Can I just download the ios 5 to the ipod directly? Or do I have to wait for the ios 5 release date to buy the ipod?

    Check compatible devices at the bottom of this page.
    http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html
    You will have to install iOS 5 via the iTunes update process.

  • I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. Where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I have a 4th generation iPod touch which was working perfectly until I downloaded ios5 and now it won't connect to my wi-fi - all other devices working correctly. My pc didn't create a backup before updating software so I can't revert back to ios 4.3.5 from there, where can I download ios 4.3.5 from?

    I tried just about everything and finally brought my Ipod touch to the apple store.  The tech installed ios 4.3.5 but still no WIFI.  He recommended a $149 exchange - not really a bad deal with a new battery and 90 day warranty, but I thought I'd try again.
    The "solution" was bizarre.  On YouTube was a fix involving taking the motherboard out and heating the wifi components with a heat gun.
    I did not like that idea, but another involved turning it off, putting it in the freezer for five minutes and restarting.  It worked!  I must admit the fix does not work reliably, so I may still go for the exchange.  Still, I am now convinced that it is a hardware problem.    i remember back in the old days, TV repairmen sprayed a suspected bad resistor with Freon.  The chilled component would work long enough to identify what needed replacement.  Perhaps something similar is happening here.
    For anyone wanting to try this, I found it more convenient to place the back of my ipod on a  frozen cold pack until the wifi is restored.  It seems to happen when condensation forms on the face.  I used a towel to wipe off the moisture so as not to add to the problem.

  • Why isn't this live album included in my iPod as an album produced by the artist?

    The album is Jason Mraz's Beautiful Mess and it appears under the "Album" section in my iPod Touch, but not under "Jason Mraz" in the "Artist" section. it's a 4th generation iPod, and everything is up-to-date. Why is this, and how can I get this album with the rest of my Jason Mraz music?

    Well, its a Quicktime Movie File (.mov) in an H.264 codec.
    The total bitrate is 737kbps, the resolution is 352x240.
    From what I know about the 5G iPod, it should be playable.
