Why the iPod Touch 4G is getting heated at the top of the back besides camera. Apple stores have replaced 3 pieces but all in vain...
Disappointed after buying Apple Product...

because sometimes they are prevented from sharing such information? they don't know? could even require sending it 'out' to a repair center.
though with most electronics, there is only so much that can be swapped out, and even then a new unit and let engineering see what and why....  and maybe there is a defective chip, sensor or even shorting

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

    You can't sync without a backup taken.
    Try to delete the ipod backup, it seems that iTunes can't read it anymore. Before you do, make sure to back up the folder, in case you need it again.
    The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

    After you backed up the folder, delete the backup from the list in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices.
    Then try again to sync.

    I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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 factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo

    My 4th Gen Ipod touch will not get past the apple logo (unless the battery is dead, Then it tell me to charge it).  Once it gave me the connect to itunes screen.  I clicked restore in itunes but the ipod went back to the apple logo before the update download finished. I tried calling apple but my over the phone technical support just expired. PLEASE HELP! 

    This can be a corrupted software/firmware on your iPod touch. If the recovery mode you did was not forced, then try to force it into recovery mode. This is how:
    1. Force it to shut down (note: this sort of shut down should not be preformed unless you are in a situation like this because it is a hardware shutdown and will not attempt to unload software, save unsaved files, safely stop system processes, etc.) to do this, hold down the power/sleep button and home button for about 7 or 10 secs. Also I might be incorrect but I heard that you can just hold down the sleep and home button until the screen goes blank and then immediately let go.
    2. Have iTunes running. Hold down the home button and plug the USB cable that came with your iPod into it. Keep on holding on the home button until a picture of a USB cable going into the iTunes logo appears. You are now in a forced recovery mode. (In case your not so tech-savvy forced recovery is the same as a normal recovery mode that an iPod might do if it knows an update or restore failed.)
    3. iTunes should have shown a pop-up message about it found a iPod in recovery mode. Click OK, click your iPod from the sidebar and click restore. The iPod will show the apple logo for a while and iTunes will say "preparing iPod for restore" and then "waiting for iPod" this was the longest part of updates for me.
    4. iPod will reboot when restore is completed. When I update my iPod it one time showed the apple logo for one whole sync until it showed the slide to unlock screen, so do not worry. P.S if that does not work do a DFU mode restore ( I've been told DFU mode stands for device firmware update mode) I'm running out of room, so google it. Hope this helped ;)

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message that says "All existing apps and data will be replaced."  Does this mean progress in the games will be lost?

    I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library.  Does that mean I lose all game progress?

    Yes.
    What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive

    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

  • My 2nd gen. ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and it won't slide... Shows lock symbol at top.  What do I do to fix it???

    My 2nd generation ipod touch won't get off the 'slide to open' screen and won't let me slide to open.  It shows the lock symbol at the top.  This is my first time to have one so I'm a little lost... Is it fried or is there a trick to unlock and get it open?  Yes, I'm an idiot when it comes to this stuff and I have no manuel to read and learn from.  Someone please help!!!!

    - First try resetting the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  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.
    - Then try restoring the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults.

    When I try to restore my iPod touch 4G I get error 3194 and I have the latest version of iTunes

    Error 3194: Resolve error 3194 by updating to the latest version of iTunes. "This device is not eligible for the requested build" in the updater logs confirms this is the root of the issue. For more Error 3194 steps see: This device is not eligible for the requested build above.
    Are you trying to restore to a PC or an Mac?  Either way, I'd remove iTunes, empty the trash, restart, and download/install the latest version.  Also, check the versions of OS that the latest build of iTunes will work with.

  • Will the iPod Touch 4th Generation get any other updates beyond 6.1.3?

    Will the iPod Touch 4th Generation get any other updates beyond 6.1.3?
    Also my dad's iPad which is a 2nd Generation got the ios 7 update and also the fact is my iPod touch 4th Generation is alot newer than my dads ipad
    Will my 4th generation get any thing similer to the ios 7 update or am I stuck with an outdated ipod touch?

    I doubt it.
    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. The 4G only has 256 MB
    iOS 6.1.4 was only for the iphone 5 to correct a problem on that device only.

    You can only sync with one iTunes library/computer. To switch:
