I have an iPod Touch which I've had for almost 4 years, with 32 GB of memory. I am unable to update it, and consequently cannot install any newer apps. I am very disappointed that I spent a lot of $$; now Apple wants me to spend $$ again to get a new one. As I mentioned, I am pretty upset. Does anyone know if there's a work around?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

HT201263 I have an iPod touch which will not charge even after staying on cable for days. It shows the red line on battery, and wont do anything else. Any tips for bringing this back from the dead?

I have done everything suggested by Apple. It does not show up in iTunes. It is a model A1288. It was working fine until the battery ran down. I hate to throw things away.

After charging overnight
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

You probably have a 1G ipod. To get the latest iOS for that mode go to:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
It is a paid update. You may have to use a different browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

The 2G can go to 4.2.1.

Will apple replace my cracked ipod touch which is under garranty for free?

As with any other warranty for any other product, damage is not covered.
You would have ot pay for the repair.

: I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

: I have recently purchased a iBook G4 Mac OS X VERSION 10.5.6 and I cannot install any apps such as firefox, adobe reader, it reads you cannot install this file on this disk

Are you saying the iBook G4 you have is running OS X 10.5.6?
The next file to get for it would be the Combo update 10.5.8 for Leopard.
And any old archived Flash player for 10.5.8 from Adobe flash site.
A browser such as TenFourFox, iCab, SeaMonkey-PPC, these are OK
but you won't be able to go past Leopard 10.5(.8) in a PowerPC Mac.
All these are free bits, however anything past 10.5.8 Mac OS X
would require a newer Mac with Intel-based architecture. Macs
made in 2006+ can see later OS X versions.
Good luck & happy computing!

When I tried to unlock my iPod touch which has a passcode, for some reason the passcode I put didn't work and it said 'iPod is disabled. Connect to iTunes.' . And when I did, they said due to my passcode, I couldn't connect to iTunes. What do i do?

When I tried to unlock my iPod touch which has a passcode lock, it said my iPod is disabled and I needed to connect to iTunes.So when I connected my iPod to my PC, it said that I couldn't connect to my iPod because it has a passcode lock. What do I do now?

I have a 3rd generation iPod and I cannot download or install any new apps. This started a few weeks ago. I have plenty of space, it's very frustrating not to be able to get any apps! Please help?

Please help, I cannot get any apps free or bought, I am able to update just fine and, I can use the apps I already have with no problem. But to be able to install an app. ie, new game recommended by app I already own, is impossible. A few weeks now I have been unable to get any new apps. Why is this occuring and can there be something I can do to fox this without upgrading to 4.0.

Try resetting the device.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

I have an ipod touch which i am trying to authorize to napster by rhapsody but it cannot find a device! any help. it does not show in my computer but it works fine in itunes.

any help on this would be appreciated.
we think that is is because the system (xp) is not seeing the ipod in the my computer therefore the napster software has nothing to lach on to.!

Does it say that it works with iOS devices (iPhone, iPod touch or iPhone)? iOS devices have a different format/file system than other iPods.

HT201263 i have a ipod touch it is saying Enter Passcode. I have never setup a Passcode. It is impossible for me to open the device can some one please help me???

my ipod touch is saying Enter Passcode. I have never setup a Passcode on it. It will not let me into the device. Can anyone instruct me as what to do or where I can find information on the problem.

Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
iOS: How to back up
Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
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.

Have two ipod touch in same house attached to same email. Need to turn it off because both receiving messages and downloads of apps purchased

We have two new ipod touch 4th generation. We do not want icloud as both ipod touches are attached to same email and both kids are getting each other's messages and apps. Please help.

I am having similar problems I believe the devices are specific to the initial itunes account that they are set up on. The only thing I can think of is to set each one up with its' own account. Apple devices seem to need to have dedicated itunes accounts. Sharing of accounts between devices doesn;t seem to work.
Maybe someone else has a better solution?

I have an ipod touch 4th generation.I had download ios5 but it got cancelled.Now when i redownload it, it says error. What should i do.

I have download ios 5 but it got cancelled.now when i redownload it , it says error.

If this does not work, try to delete the ipod software file located in C:[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged.
Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw)
iTunes uses "ipsw" files to restore your iPod or iPhone. If those files are unusable, then try deleting them, renaming them, or moving the file to a different directory. This will cause iTunes to download a new copy of the IPSW. When a restore issue is specific to a user, it is likely due to an unusable .ipsw file. If removing the .ipsw file does not resolve a user-specific restore issue, then the issue is caused by other user-specific security software settings or iTunes preferences. Creating a new user will also cause new .ipsw restore files to be downloaded in the new user. You can find the ".ipsw" files in these locations:
Mac OS X
iPhone
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates
iPad

I have a 32gb Ipod touch, i havent used it for a year or so and it will not play new apps and its saying my software is uptodat when its only 2.2.1 ?

Can I play iphone apps on my ipod touch ? how can i download iphone 4 software o my ipod touch? cheers

I'm assuming you have a 1st generation iPod Touch. You can download the IOS 3 update here

The latest for that model is 3.1.3 so any app requiring firmware later than that won't work

HT2292 I have an Ipod tough 2nd generation. Had no problems syncing with old pc but cant on new. Have done troubelshooting as suggest & still nothing. Any ideas?

I have tried everything even uninstalling & reinstalling Itunes for the 64bit. All the troubleshooting steps provided in Itunes help. I still cannot get Itunes to recognize my Ipod or my computer to recognize it as a plugged in device. I am at my wits end. Does anyone have any ideas or had similar problem? Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Also was told to try to update the software but am unable to do that also. There is no update software option under the general settings on the ipod and since it won't sync I can't do it through Itunes either. Thanks in advance.

I am experiencing similar issues. iPod is recognized, brand new PC, have 8GB of memory and a 2TB HDD, and I keep getting an error saying I don't have enough memory and the iTunes library file can't be saved. Then the program will freeze up and I have to Ctrl/Alt/Delete to exit, and half my songs I checked are unchecked upon restarting.
I think it's an iTunes issue, not a hardware issue.
The problem is Apple simply doesn't care. I think they put bugs in the Windows versions to try to force customers onto their products.
I NEVER had this issue with the 32-bit versions of iTunes either.

HT201263 I have an iPod Touch which I've had for almost 4 years, with 32 GB of memory. I am unable to update it, and consequently cannot install any newer apps. I am very disappointed that I spent a lot of $$; now Apple wants me to spend $$ again to get a
