Hi Terry, according to Amazon.com the new 32 gig iPod Touch 6th gen is selling for $242. There are used models listing for as little as $174.
Using some sort of cloud backup such as Dropbox to transfer files in and out of your iPod will be very slow as you will have to upload the large files to Dropbox then download them into your iPod Touch. Learning to use iTunes will make this process much, much faster--when iTunes becomes more user friendly. You should really, really try to get the newer 6th generation because if you buy the older 5th gen it will be of little use to you going forward since it will no longer be upgradeable to newer versions of iOS--you'll be stuck with iOS 9 the remainder of the time you own this device--you will regret it. Here's the Amazon.com link: Amazon.com: Apple iPod touch 32GB Blue (6th Generation): Electronics - https://is.gd/XjWxoW JR -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Terri Stimmel Sent: Saturday, July 23, 2016 6:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Questions regarding the IPod Hello Richard, Thank you so much for your advice. I really appreciate it. I would wait and save up money to get the six generation model, but it is hard for me to save up money. So that is why I am taking what I can get. Maybe there is not the greatest idea. But I know if I wait for a while, the prices for the sixth generation will hopefully go down. So by then, maybe I will be able to afford one. But for now, I don't really want to wait on that. In all honestly, I don't put anything on my iPhone right now. It's only a 16 gig model, so it cannot hold much. I do read some stuff through to noon, and I listen to stuff through Spotify. That was supposed to be tuning in. Also, I do have voice reader on my phone, as well as dropbox. But I use dropbox more. I do plan to put all these programs on my iPod, once I get it. But the books, and the movies I would be putting onto the iPod, are currently on my hard drive. So maybe I could put them into dropbox and look at them that way on the iPhone? I don't know. I would do anything not to have to use iTunes. Right now for my phone I have it sync on Wi-Fi. Maybe that is not the best idea? But I will admit, I do not know how to take things off my phone, or really put them on there. I've never done it. Thank you again for your help. If you have any more advice, or suggestions, I would really appreciate that. Have a good night!
