IPod Touch 4th Gen trouble with iOS5-iCloud

Hi,
I trying to set up my daughters 4th GEN iPod touch with iOS5 and get it talking to iCloud. I've got everytthing set up for her on our iMac, and see is "in the cloud" as far as the Mac is concerned. After downloading iOS5 and installing it, I'm going through the brief setup procedure to get the iPod talking to iCloud. Everyhting goes well until the very end when I get a window that says: "Could Not Sign In. Apple ID couldn't be created because of a server error" Is this just Apple getting crushed, or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
Yes, I have restored from Backup via i-Cloud. I've restored the iPod to factory settings. It seem like there is a driver issue. I installed iOS 5.01 and updated iTunes to 10.5.3.3 at about the same time. Win-Vista64, iTunes and iPod are all up to date. Apple Genius, at local Apple store was also perplexed. He suggested I ask the community. So, here I am.
It is strange that I can connect to other computers. But, the other computers have Win 7. Could this be a Vista64 driver issue?

New ipod touch 4th gen, trouble with playing ipod in 06 Ford Focus?

Ive recently gotten a 4th gen Ipod Touch brand new and everything. I tried to plug it into my 06 Ford Focus which has the HD Radio Simple brand, and for some reason it shows what song im playing yet won't play it over the car stereo. Its rediculous and all it says on my Ipod was that "this accessory is not supported by Ipod Touch" even though that is exactly what is advertised in the "Simple" radio system!! In the manuel it says that I need to download the latest firmware?? I checked the Apple website and could'nt find it, i have no clue what to do.

If I replace my Ipod touch 4th gen screen with a local company other than Apple will the apple warrenty be void or will the warrenty be void if I replace the screen myself?

Regardless of what Apple may or may not say about repair work done by a third party (a non-Apple company or you yourself), the Magnuson-Moss Act precludes them from voiding your warranty simply because you had work done by a third party or used non-OEM parts. Typically people hear of thie Act as it is applied to cars. Car manufacturers cannot require you go to a dealership for repairs or that you use OEM parts. They cannot void your warranty for doing that. The Act applies to all consumer goods. Computer manufacturers cannot require you send your computer to them for memory upgrades or that you use memory supplied by them. Apple cannot require you to go to Apple for repair work or that you use Apple parts in that repair.
With that said, though, if you have a problem in the future, Apple could make the claim that it was the result of damage from improper repair or substandard parts. Your only recourse would be the court system, not a quick or inexpensive endeavor.

IPod Touch 4th gen trouble connecting to my Win-Vista 64bit computer via USB.

Hi,
I seem to have an issue with my iPod Touch 4G. Ever since upgrading to iOS5.
The iPod Touch has had issues connecting, via direct USB, to my Windows Vista 64 bit computer. When I connect it, via USB, the computer will report the iPod Touch 4G as an "Unrecognized Device." This prevents me from using the USB to sync the iPod or charge it via the computer's USB connection.
My work around is to turn off the iPod (via red slide bar method) then connect it to the USB. At this point, it in it will automatically re-start the iPod and then it will recognize and sync or charge. I can also connect it have it report as an "Unrecognized Device" leave it connected, turn it off(red slide bar) and turn it back on and it will also connect charge and sync.
The problem is that I must turn it off every time I want to connect it. I can sync via wi-fi (but this causes issues with music that others have shared with me-keeps asking for their i-Tunes account) (happened after I "re-set" the I-Pod). I needed to hard sync with the computer to make all the rights work out.
This same USB cable and computer works just fine with my other iPods (Touch 3G, Classic) and my iPhone 4S. Only problem device is the Touch 4G. The problematic iPod and same USB cable works without issue on other computers (i.e.: don't have to turn it off and then plug it in).
I've followed the apple instructions and sequence to remove I-Tunes and a bunch of other related software and then reinstall it. I've reset my iPod. Nothing corrects this issue with this particular iPod. I've changed USB ports, tried other USB cables nothing changes the fact that I have to turn off and back on the iPod Touch 4G each time before I can get it to be properly recognized by the computer and thus charge or be recognized by iTunes.
This only started to happen to the iPod Touch 4G after I upgraded it from iOS4 to iOS5. I also have iOS5 on my iPhone 4S - with no issues. My other iPod Touch 3G is using iOS4. It connects and syncs fine.
I've figured out a work around but, does anyone know how to fix this issue? Thanks

ITunes not compatible with iPod Touch 4th gen (problem with Windows 64 bit)

So I've been trying for about a month or so to sync my iPod Touch to iTunes but ever since i updated it to iTunes 11 it has been saying that i need to uninstall it and install the 64 bit version. I've done that twice this week alone and its still not working, saying again that i need the 64 bit which I already have. I've ended up completely erasing previous iTunes data to see if that would help, but that just ended up being more hassle. I don't think its just my iPod, because it refuses to sync my iPad 2 manually as well.
Please help me, i'm at my wits end.

You are very perceptive - has nothing to do with your ipod, has to do with your Windows. You can try couple things.
One - reinstall itunes "apple way" and when downloading disable your anitvirus.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
please make sure that you completed not only step one, but also step two.
Then disable your antivirus and go to step three.
iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows 64 - Apple - Support
if that does not work go to thing number two.
Two - come back here with precise text of the message, see if anybody had it before.

Ipod Touch 4th Gen audio with headphones is messed up

Hi,
So recently my 4th generation ipod touch has been having audio issues when headphones are plugged in. What it does it make the audio really loud and noisy. People talking or singing cannot be understood, it is completely static and muffled. Thing is, it does not do this all the time. Sometimes it works for a little period of time and then does it again. What's weird is that if I press on the screen above the home button it stops. Once I let go it starts again.
I restored my ipod. Nothing. I reset it completely. Nothing. I don't think it is a software problem.
Could it be my audio port? Another weird thing is that it works fine when plugged into speakers. Like if I plug a aux from speakers into it. Never does the noise.
I have above 5 different headphones and they all do this. The built in speaker on the ipod works fine too.
I'll probably end up taking it somewhere to get looked at, but just wanted to get an opinion on here first...
-Thanks!

- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.

Ipod touch 4th gen update IOS5

how can I update an ipod touch 4th gen 32g with IOS5

Generally, this means that it can't be updated further; it needs to be at least a third generation iPod touch to run iOS 5. If you don't know what model you have, append the last three or four characters of its serial number to http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords= and load the modified URL.

Sometimes though, I will receive the notifications for all the opened apps on time,but that will just last a few minutes.No, I do not have Don't disturb on nor do I have my notifications off. Any tips?

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router

Need help with my ipod touch 4th gen

My name is whitney last year i bought a ipod touch 4th gen . And everything was working fine until i had recently updated it to ios 5.0.1 . Ihave internet connection and can view the browser but when i try to view the app store it either keeps loading the page, or it says cannot connect to itunes store or the browser has timed out . I am getting very frustrated about this as last month my ipod was working fine with everything until i had updated it and had to restore it and the problem still persists. And it wont let me verify my icloud account either it also times out and says verfification failed . If anyone out there can help me out i would appreciate it .

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."

Ive got a new pc with windows 7 and my ipod touch 4th gen is synced with my old pc ,how can i back up the photos on the ipod to my new pc ?

Your iPod can only be synced with one computer at a time. If you try to sync it with a new computer/iTunes library, it will replace the contents of the iPod with whatever is in the new library. You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabling the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Before doing anything else, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials. Either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync.
Then right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
iOS: How to back up
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content such as music, videos, and photos synced to the device, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software available to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

If you do happen to lose any purchased content, you can always redownload it from the iTunes Store again at no cost via iCloud. See this article for information.

You can only sync with one computer. I would backup to one computer and then restore from backup.

My iPod touch 4th gen. Keeps giving me the error message "cannot connect to the app store when I sign in. I can open the app store and browse it but I can't download anything. I have full signal strength with my wi-fi and safari is working perfect. I turned it off and restarted it 3 times now. I have an iPad 2 and the app store works flawlessly with it. What is going on?

Same here on my lpad2. Can access the web just fine from browsers but cannot install new apps or updates in appl store. Seeing a few others reporting same issue tonight so likely an apple server issue and staff will notice it in network monitors and fix it...sometime this weekend.

Can't connect to the internet with my iPod touch 4th gen.

So I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and have been able to get wifi from my computer with no problem but now it's not working. When I choose the network I've always used I see the 3 lines on top of the screen that show when it's connected to the internet but when I try to open iTunes, the App Store, etc. it says, "cannot connect to iTunes" or whatever it is that I'm trying to open.
I'm so frustrated! I already restarted both my iPod & laptop, connected then disconnected the modem, and resetted the network settings but it still doesn't work.
When i open troubleshoot problems, it says that the wireless network connection doesn't have a valid IP configuration, sorry if I'm too stupid but what's an IP configuration? How can I fix this?
Please help me!

Does the iPod connect to other networks?
Do other devices now connect? ( I thin yo are say no. In that case you have a router problem. Try powering off and then back on the router. Next try changing the security on the router. Test it with no security. The reset ther router. Last, get a new router.)
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
