I Want to download i0s 5

You need to connect your iPod to iTunes on a computer and update from there.
Before updating, I recommend that you create a backup first, using : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Please note that iPod 3d generation only goes up to iOS 5.1.1
To update the iPod, use: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4623
scroll down to the part that's about updating with iTunes.
Good luck

When I click on a link the new tab does not open chosen link, it opens a different link entirely

This has been a problem for a month. Before that it was never an issue. If I do a web search, find what I want then click on that link the new tab that opens is the selected link--it is something else entirely. I like Firefox and want to continue using it as my browser but I am not having the problem with Chrome at all so I think it is something with Firefox settings and not my computer a virus of some kind...but then I don't know much about these things.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.<br />
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.<br />
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.<br />

My ipod (2nd generation) on the 4.2.1 software wont let me download any apps. it keeps saying waiting for like 5 seconds then just disapears. HELP PLEASE?!

hi,
my ipod 2nd gen on the 4.2.1 is not letting me download apps.
it says 'waiting' for a couple of seconds the disappears all of a sudden!
can someone please help?
thanks

I tried it. I restored it 2 times, I also shut it off like 5 times. But it's still waiting and disapearing after 5 seconds.

I updated my iPad2 to the new iOS and it deleted averything i had and now it wont let me download any apps. Why?

Please help me!

Novice or not, you takes your chances when you don't do a backup before an update. I rarely backup before an "interim" update, always backup before a major one. No one is going to be able to give you a definitive answer because when a problem happens, it is a random thing.
Since I have automatic iCloud backups going on regularly, I don't worry too much about a random failure. But, that is all it is - a random failure, and there is no way to predict it or to prevent it.
So, I think you will get the same answer from Support or from an Apple Store. Sorry there is nothing more specific, but that's the way it is.....
Cheers,

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the 1st generation.

How do I download IOS5 onto a first generation ipad? Software Update does not appear under General in Settings on the first generation ipad.

The Settings > General > Software Update option only appears when you have iOS 5+ installed, if you have iOS 4 then you will need to do the update via your computer's iTunes.
Connect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and copy any purchases off the iPad to your computer via File > Transfer Purchases. You may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. You can then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'.
Then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button

How do I compress a file on a Mac. I do not see and option to compress a file when I right click on it and the Apple help does not provide and accurate answer

Select the file with one click, then go to File in the menu bar and select Compress...
By the way Niel's post says control - click. This means click with the control key held down. It produces the same result as going to File in the menu bar and selecting Compress...

There has never been a facetime app on the iphone.
As the manual says, you access from contacts. Pick a contact and scroll down to the facetime button

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open.

When I click on a picture, Photoshop Elements 12 does not automatically open (as it did when I used previous versions Photoshop Elements 4 and 9). I can't even right-click (Windows) on the picture and choose Open With and specifiy Photoshop Elements 12. I have called Adobe several times (Case No. 185140584) and they keep saying it has been sent up to senior management and they will call me back with a solution - but to no avail! No return calls and I still can't really use the Product I paid for and downloaded. The only way I can open up a picture to edit it is to open Photoshop Elements 12 and then then click "Open" and then search for the picture on my hard drive (which takes a lot more time! I did not experience this difficulty at all with versions 4 or 9!

Hi,
You failed to say which Windows system you have - I can get the "Open With" to work on my Windows 7 64bit system.
When you try to set up the "Open With", are you setting the correct target program?
It's the green one (not the red one) in the above image.
Once you have selected that program, make sure you set it as default so that a double click will open the photo in the editor.
Good luck

I have a MacPro5,1, Quad-Core Intel Xeon, 2 processors running at 2.4 GHz. I am running OSX 10.6.8. I installed Yosemite on another drive. When I choose Restart in Yosemite it shows my 10.6.8 hard drive. But when I click Restart in 10.6.8 it does NOT show my Yosemite drive. I used to know how to get the startup screen that showed multiple drives but I've forgotten it. How do I do that?

Press Option at startup.
