iPod Touch 6th Generation - A Rumour ?

We have been hearing from a lot of tech media folks out there that Apple's iPod Touch 6 generation may be out in market. But know one is able to provide any real facts about this news which makes it more like a rumor. Apple is being very secretive here and they have not told anything about new iPod Touch.

With the release of iPhone 6 with all the multimedia features embedded on it, would apple now invest in making high end media players. This question is now very serious. Is iPod in its decline phase ? Why would someone go for iPod's when they can have smart phones with all those media cool features.

It is now just a wait game and see if apple is going to release anymore new generations of iPod.

Merry Christmas.

Issue : My ipod isn't going into recovery mode

Issue Description :-
iPod touch is currently disabled for 23,319,628 minutes. It will not go into recovery mode, and I cannot contact Apple support because the ID/Code on the back of my device has completely worn off so I can no longer identify the iPod without being in settings. I have tried to DFU the device (or whatever that d something is, and i cannot get into my device because it won't go into recovery mode and iTunes doesn't recognize my iPod.

Solution:-
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. Try more than once. The iPod will be erased.

iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

iTunes: Restoring iOS software

To restore from backup see:

iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
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 redownload most iTunes purchases by:

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode. Is this happening?

iPod Touch Does Not Connect To Wireless(WiFi) Network

"I can easily connect to my Linksys router with my 32gig iPod, but cannot for the life of me connect with my wifes 8gig Itouch.  It simply gives me the message "Unable to join ______ " (the network I'm trying to connect to)."

Hi
Most of the time you face this issue with the iPod Touch, that for no reasons this iPod Touch will not connect to your WiFi network while your other iPods, your friends iPod does connect to the same network. Well there are a few troubleshooting steps which you need to try to get this issue fixed.

Please follow the troubleshooting steps given below:

1. RESET your iPod.

2. After it has been RESET, Click on the SETTINGS icon from the main menu.

3. From the Settings menu, you will find an option called RESET. Click on reset.

4. In the reset menu you will find an option called RESET NETWORK SETTINGS. Click on it and wait for sometime until your iPod Touch resets by itself.

5. Once your iPod is back to the main menu, Click on SETTINGS again.

6. You will find an option called WiFi, Click on that.

7. Here in WiFi menu you find an option to turn your WiFi ON/OFF. Turn it ON.

8. iPod will then scan for the available networks around you and it will list down the networks. You see your WiFi name listed there? If Yes follow the steps below.

9.If there is a small lock icon next to your iPod name, it means your network is password protected. Just tap above the network name and if it prompts you to enter your network password, go ahead and enter it and then click JOIN.

Most of the time these steps will resolve your WiFi issue.

In case your iPod did not list down your WiFi name, that means your iPods WiFi device is having trouble detecting wireless network. It needs service from the AppleCare.

If your iPod listed down the network name , but when you tried to join it, still gives the same error message, then all you have to do is try connecting this iPod to a public wireless network like Apple Store or Star Bucks.
If your iPods connects to the public network without any issues, then it just mean that your iPod WiFi settings might be having issues. Follow the steps below to check the WiFi settings:

1. After you see the WiFi name listed down, you will also find a small arrow next to the WiFi name. Click on that arrow.

2. You will find the WiFi settings here.

3.Check out the IP Address here, if it begins with 169... then this is the root of all cause. Just feed in the IP address of your router and save it and also check the other settings like subnet mask, router information matches with the information provided by your WiFi network service provider like LinkSys.

Please let me know what you feel about these troubleshooting steps through your valuable comments.
And if you have any other issues related to iPod/iTunes/iTunes Store, feel free to leave a comment and I will be back with the best solution for your issue.

How to Change/Remove iPod Touch Password

"I bought a used iPod touch. I wanna buy stuffs from iTunes but I dont know the previous owner password how do I get or change it."

Hi.
As I understand you have got an used iPod Touch and you are trying to purchase items from the iTunes, but you do not know the password.

I assume that either your iPod Touch is Passcode locked, because of which you are unable to get into the iPod main menu or you are unable to sign into the iTunes as it shows previous owners iTunes account email and it is prompting you to enter his iTunes password.

Well in either case, you just have to RESTORE your iPod to the initial factory settings and your iPod will be reset back to, just like a new iPod. So just follow the restore link and follow the step by step instruction there and that will resolve your issue.

iPod Touch With Camera & Microphone , A Rumor ?

I hope most of you might have heard about this news.But there is a doubt if it is a rumor or  fact.Anyways as an iPod Touch lover, I always wished that this gadget lacks one or the other feature which includes, image capturing capability. This rumor has really made me more crazy of iTouch's. I would be waiting for Apple Inc to have a word on this feature of iPod Touch if this indeed is a truth.
