Hello Donald,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are unable to connect your iPod touch (4th generation) to a Bluetooth device. I would be happy to provide some troubleshooting steps for this behavior.
Here's a resource that could help:
If you can't connect a Bluetooth accessory to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see a spinning gear instead of Bluetooth devices listed in your Bluetooth settings, start with the steps here:
You may also need to place the Bluetooth device in discovery mode before it will appear in the Bluetooth device list. If you are unsure how to do so, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the Bluetooth device for more information and to confirm compatibility.
Take care!

If you see a spinning gear instead of Bluetooth devices listed in your Bluetooth settings, start with the steps here:
- On your iOS device, go to Settings > Bluetooth and make sure that Bluetooth is on. If you can't turn on Bluetooth or you see a spinning gear, restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Then try to pair and connect it again.
- Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory and iOS device are close to each other.
- Turn your Bluetooth accessory off and back on again.
- Make sure that your Bluetooth accessory is on and fully charged or connected to power. If your accessory uses batteries, see if they need to be replaced.
You may also need to place the Bluetooth device in discovery mode before it will appear in the Bluetooth device list. If you are unsure how to do so, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the Bluetooth device for more information and to confirm compatibility.
