Q: Need advice regarding ipod 4

How full is the storage on the iPod, nearly packed full? or relatively empty...  A very full device, even if perfectly new out of the box, will act very slow.

Woah, red flag... a 6.4GB iPod Touch 4?  i would definately take that to the apple store, as the iPod Touch 4 only shipped in 16 or 32.

Also available in a 8gB version.

Introduced     September 2010 (8, 32, 64 GB Black model) October 2011 (8, 32, 64 GB White model) September 2012 (16 GB Black and White models)

Discontinued     September 2012 (8 GB and 64 GB)

Model Identifier     iPod4,1

Model Number     A1367

EMC     2407

Order Number     MC540LL/A (8 GB Black) ME178LL/A (16 GB Black) MC544LL/A (32 GB Black) MC547LL/A (64 GB Black) MD057LL/A (8 GB White) ME179LL/A (16 GB White) MD058LL/ (32 GB White) MD059LL/A (64 GB White)

Oh, okay, Thanks Stedman1, wasn't aware of that.  Well as for the question of why yours is so painfully slow, i still would take it to the apple store and have it examined.  At that speed, that is definately abnormal behavior, and could be caused by a number of things, ranging anywhere from having too many apps running all at once, all the way to having a hardware malfunction causing I/O errors, thus slowing down the device.  

Hope you get it fixed, let me know what happens!

Cheers!

There is no such thing.

Apple just released a 16GB model last Thursday, but there is not, nor has there ever been, an iPod touch advertised as 6GB.

The 8 GB iPod only has about 6.4 GB available to the user. The difference from 8 GB is taken up by the operating system and of how GBs is advertised and reported.

How Mac OS X and iOS report storage capacity
