Will ipod touch 4th generation ever get iOS 7

will ipod touch 4th generation ever get iOS 7

iOS 6.1.3 is the latest version of iOS available for your iPod touch. Whether there will be any further updates to iOS 6 for the fourth-generation iPod touch no one here can say, but if there are they will almost certainly be bug fixes only.

IPod touch 4th Generation , home button not working at all, Help?

- Try restoring your iPod to rule out a software problem.
- The try:
fix for Home button
Fix a broken, unresponsive or sticky iPhone Home Button
iPad 2 home button fail: Apple Support Communities
You can turn one Assistive Touch in Settings>General Accessibility to use the screen instead. See chapter 30 of the users guide

If under warranty make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod touch 4th generation says that ios 4.2.1 is as good as it gets?

I have the iPod touch 4th generation with the camera. I bought it from my brother afte he had used it. Now, I decided I want to download the newer ios software updat, but every time i try to download it from my computer through itunes, it says I am up to date. BUT I AM NOT! I have a 4th gen and only ios 4.2.1!!!!!!
Please help me! I want to get some newer apps!
Thank you!
Oh, and it does not have the option of software updat on my actual ipod touch.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:

- Then try on another computer

I cannot download Adobe Reader app using my IPod Touch 4th Generation due to iOS upgrade.

I have an IPod Touch 4th Generation (the older model) and the highest operating system stops at iOS 6.1.6. Unfortunately, when I tried to download Adobe Reader app, it only works for the newer IPod Touch 5th Generation with an operating system of iOS 7.0 or higher. My question is that since I cannot download Adobe Reader app, is there a way for me to open PDF files on my IPod Touch by using Safari? There is no way I can find an Adobe Reader app that works for my operating system or an operating system that works for iOS 6.0 or lower. Is there another program similar to Adobe Reader where I can open PDF files that works for iOS 6.0 or lower?
Thanks.

Krispy2010,
Please note that my instructions are intended for Adobe Reader for iOS, not for all iOS apps in general.
Adobe Reader for iOS does offer earlier compatible versions for iOS 5 and 6 via the App Store. Because the supported iOS version for Adobe Reader for iOS is 5 or later.
Tech specs | Adobe Reader mobile app
However, I cannot speak for other apps, such as Costco app and NFL app that you have mentioned. It is up to each individual app developer/company to decide whether to take advantage of Apple's App Store's features to offer earlier versions.
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
If a compatible version isn't available, you can try contacting the app developer. Look for contact information on the app's product page in the App Store or Mac App Store.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

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.

Tried to update ipod Touch 4th Generation, Update Failed, iPod won't work

So less than twenty minutes ago I tried to update my iPod touch, knowing it had been asking this for a few days. The update failed, as as of now my iPod Touch is stuck on the picture of the iPod cable with an arrow pointing at the iTunes symbol. I've tried holding the two buttons to force it to shut off, it does- when I turn it on I get the apple logo so I know it turned on, only to get it again. When plugged into my computer, it is not recognized by anything. Going to Computer it doesn't see it as plugged in, and on iTunes nothing comes up with connected objects. This happened to me once in the past and I had to go to the Apple Store to have it fixed... can anyone tell me what to do so I don't have to go to them, or am I gonna have to take some time and drive over to have them take a look at it? Also, when removing my iPod from the computer, i get the sound that you get when you remove something from your computer, meaning it knows it's plugged in, just not reading it for some reason.
Thank you very much to anyone that can help!
If this is posted in the wrong area, this is my first loggin- sorry if I screwed up, mind telling me if I did?

iPod Touch 4G 32GB. I had same problem when I tried updating iOS; iTunes says restoring iPod, but after a while gives error 1603. I tried all suggestions from support: recovery mode, other USB ports, disconnect all other devices, uninstall and reinstall apple s/w and drivers, disable all other services using msconfig, confirm USB are 2.0, re-download updated software, reboot computer, name it! I finally installed iTunes on old Dell Inspiron P4 running XP, plugged iPod in it and device got recovered immediately! Put it back in Win7 computer and performed backup restore. Everything is back as it was. I have no idea what prevents s/w update on main computer. I realized I never get "waiting for iPod" message during attempt to restore, while I do on old Dell. I wonder what triggers this message.

IPod Touch 4th Generation Update problem

For the past few days, I have been trying to install the latest iOS update on my iPod Touch, but every time iTunes says that this device is not eligible for an update. I have also notice that the time and date on my iPod keeps auto setting its self to December 21, 1969, so I reset the date and time, but always get the same result.
I also tried to restore the iPod and yet nothing works. This device has NEVER been jailbroken and I do not intend on doing so. If you have any suggestions, I would really appreciate it!
Thank you,
Michael N.

Michael,
The first thing I would do is update to the latest version of iTunes. If that doesn't help, try downloading a new copy of the iPod's firmware.
For the date and time issue, head to Settings -> General -> International and make sure the Calendar setting is to Gregorian.

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 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.
