Why is my ipod touch 4g get hot while using it?

It is not abnormal for the iPod to get quite warm with heavy use. If you are concerned make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. It is really impossible to determine over the Internet how warm is too hot.

I had this issue with an older iPod. Took it to a Apple Store and they had me restore to factory default. It worked, but then I had to reload all the music.

iPods, and any electrical equipment, produce heat when used, it's simply something that happens.

If it is getting too hot to hold or seems to start burning, take it to an apple store near you and have it looked in the Genius bar, nearly all appel stores have one. If your's doesn't, just ask a member of staff.

Maybe try backing up then restoring your iPod, see if that helps. if it does help, restore it from the backup you made before restoring.

Hope this helped! 😀

Good luck!

Basically, you book an appointment with your local Apple Store, they give you an appointment time and you go into the shop and have a chat with an apple technican or "Genius." They will dignose what is wrong with your device and explain possible solutions to you problem as well as any charges.

Hope this helped!

The reason why it gets hot at the top half is because that's where the CPU is located. The A4 chip used in the iPod touch 4G is well known for getting hot. The more CPU intensive tasks you're doing, the hotter it gets.
