Why no gapless firmware upddate for 4th gen iPods?

Why is Rockbox firmware my only avenue to get gapless playback on my 60GB Photo iPod?

As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

Why can't computer detect my 4th gen. iPod Shuffle?

Someone gave me a 4th gen. Shuffle as a gift but my Macbook (OS 10.6.8) doesn't recognize it when I plug it into a USB port with the connector that came with it. I've had the shuffle plugged into a power source continuously since I got it, so it's not a battery problem.
I've looked at the Apple troubleshooting article for this problem, but it's not a USB port issue (the USB ports work fine with everything else) and resetting the device doesn't help, nor does making sure the plug connection is secure.
I have noticed that the 3.5 mm. plug fits loosely enough on this shuffle for the shuffle to drop off the connector if it's left dangling from a power source and not supported. Could the problem be a faulty male plug? Something else? Thanks for any suggestions out there!

If it's that loose, you may not have the plug pushed in completely. That headphones jack is the type that accepts headphones with remote control buttons, so the fit may be tighter than expected. Make sure you push until you feel it "click" into place.

Help to Diagnose Blank, White Screen for 4th Gen iPod

Can you help me diagnose my problem? Fully charged Ipod Gen 4 syncs and plays music, but I can’t navigate due to blank, white screen. Reset to original factory settings from iTunes, re synced with no improvement. Doesn’t even show apple or battery icon when charging. Any advice?

So you basically cannot see anything on the screen, because it is all white.
Since it can play music, connect your earphones and let it play continuously until it runs out of power and turns off. Keep trying to turn it back on and playing music until it will no longer turn on. Then let it sit disconnected for at least 24 hours.
You are trying to make the battery dead so that the iPod is completely unpowered.
Then connect it to the computer or the power adapter and see if the screen is working again.
Alternately, if you know how to open the iPod with the plastic tools, you can simply disconnect the battery for a few minutes and then reconnect.
There is always the possibility that your iPod's screen has become defective.

No autofill option showing for 4th gen IPod on Itunes

When loading 4 gen shuffle (v 1.0.2) from music library on Itunes 12.0.1.26, the "settings" and "autofill" buttons do not show up on the On My Device>Music page. I want to be able to have it autofilled randomly from my music library. Oddly, it loads it randomly by complete album; that is, it loads all the songs on an album, then randomly selects another album and loads all the songs from it, etc., until filled. Any idea what the problem is?

iPod Touches do not have a disk mode. However, you can se the iPod in Windows explorer in order to move photos from the iPod to your computer. You probably need to reinstall iTunes and install the unsigned driver.

4th gen ipod nano - can't find games for it on itunes

I have just purchased a 4th gen ipod nano for my son and he wanted some games. Went onto itunes and purchased Crash Bandicoot Nitrokart game for £3.49. Couldn't get it to transfer to nano - but then noticed it's sitting in Applications (iPhone and iPod touch applications). Then went back into game and see that it says requirements are for iphone and itouch. Why did apple allow me to purchase this when I rgistered the nano when I setup itunes? Have searched for other games but all say the same requirement. Where can I find games that will download for nano? I have itunes 8.01 and ipod software is up-to-date

click on "iTunes Store", then on the left side of the screen, there should be a box near the top with:
Music
Movies
TV Shows
Music Videos
Audiobooks
Podcasts
iTunes U
iPod Games
Apps Store
listed. You want "iPod Games".

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!

My 4th gen iPod touch has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on

I have a 4th gen iPod touch. It has been plugged in for hours but it won't charge or turn on. I cannot restore it because it won't show up in iTunes. I have tried pressing and holding the home and/or the power key but that does not work as well. I have tried restarting Apple Mobile Support. I have updated my iTunes. I have tried EVERYTHING but it will not turn on at all. Any suggestions?

HT201210 I am trying to update a 4th gen ipod touch to version 6.0 but keep getting "connection cannot be made" errors. I am connected to internet. It is the first time i have updated/synced with my new laptop since getting it for xmas. my iphone has wor

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!!

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

Hi johnsmiff99,
That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.
If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac

Where can I find the user guide for the 4th gen. ipod touch?

Can someone tell me where I can find the user guide for the 4th gen. ipod touch? It's not on the manuals section, only the 5th gen. is.

Try this one.

Why no 4th Gen iPod touch landscape orientation in Pages?

I've had no luck in attempting to use latest Pages on 4th Gen iPod touch in the landscape orientation.
I'm not referring to the document, but how the touch is held in the hand. Holding it in landscape orientation would result in larger keys and hopefully the ability to see the whole paragraph you're writing. Exactly like one can in the touch's Notes application.
Can anyone help?

Hmmm...can't remember if I had the icon before...i did more research. It appears that the model of my iPod touch has something to do with it - Facetime is restricted for model ending with AB, as it identifies it as being bought from Middle East region. Is this true? If so, is there a way to activate FT?

I have a 4th gen ipod touch. i reset all settings and it has not restarted now for 8 hours. On/ Off switch is not working. How do I restart my Ipod Touch?

i have a 4th gen ipod touch. i reset all settings and it has not restarted yet. it has been resetting for about 8 hours now. It won't let me restart the iPod touch. the loading screen just keeps running.

Hi paul.lisa,
Then when you press down on one of those icons (on the actual Home screen), and all the icons start to wiggle, a small black "x" should show up in the upper left-hand corner:
Cheers,
