My ipod wont let me download the new ios 5 software
My ipod is the third generation, which is compatible. But everytime i check for software update it says it is up to date.
Please check the model number on the back. If it is A1288, it is really a 2nd generation and can not be upgraded beyond 4.2.1

I Downloaded the new iOS software on my iPod touch now when I turn it on it has a USB cord and says connect to computer and iTunes, well the only other
No. You have to connect the iPod to a computer and restore via iTunes.
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Find a friend or go to an Apple store. -
When I click on the button to download the new IOS software, I get a message saying that all the items on my iTouch will be removed. Will I have to reload everything after updating the software? Because I had to have my hard drive wiped a while back, I have items on my iTouch that are not in my iTunes. Is there a way to copy everything on the iTouch into iTunes, if necessary, before I load the new software?
It is possible to transfer purchases from your iPod back into iTunes before updating the OS. If you had any CDs from your personal collection, these you have to put back into iTunes manually. Hope this helps you & good luck!

Ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update
ipad2 will freezes when downloading the new ios software update. When i hold the Base Button and Sleep button together it just does the same thing. Tried to plug it in directly to my iMAC and it says it can't help me b/c I have a passcode lock. Any solutions?
We don't know, and no one will know until Apple has announced it. Furthermore, speculation is forbidden here.

! have 11,000 songs on my iPod Classic but since downloading the new version of itunes software I am having trouble locating where I can view my full collection to edit/delete. I can add music and see the additions cannot see the full list. Can anyone tell me where I can view them please?
Here is what worked for me:
My usb hub, being usb2, was too fast. I moved the wire to a usb port directory on my pc. That is a usb1 port which is slow enough to run your snyc. -
While downloading the new apple software to my I-phone , a prompt asked me to input my "Apple ID and password", BUT the option to by-pass and continue was also offfered, so I by-passed and did not enter my Apple ID or password because I had forgotten it temporarily and wished to continue the lengthy time to download.
Consequently, when I attempt to add updates to the Apps. on my I-Phone, a new prompt appears stating that my "Apple ID has Been DISABLED." There is no additional language as to why it was disabled in regard to my I-phone. FYI, my "Apple ID and Password" continue to function ., ie are "ENABLED",in regard to my Apple desk top computer.
This disabling of my Apple ID results in an inability to update my I-phone for anything.
My question/request is as follows: How do I "enable" my apple use by having my I-phone recognize my existing Apple ID and password ?Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,

My computer wont let me download the new itunes
I have clicked on "check for updates" in itunes and it tells me there is a new itunes to download, so when i click on down load it goes to my system softwear updates which after a very long time "checking" comes back and tells me there is nothing to update. But i know there is. I have sucsessfully downlaoded the new itunes on my iphone and ipad but just wont do it on my macbook. Any ideas why?
Go to Apple's main iTunes page (see tabs at the top of your broser) and download it from there.
Back up your computer before installing any new software. If the update does something you don't like this is the only way to revert.
Verify your hard drive with Disk Utility's First Aid. If it reports problems then that has to be dealt with before you do anything else.
Use Disk Utility to repair permissions.
Download the update from Apple. Some of us don't use Software Update to actually update, just so we know the installer file is safe and sound on our computers for use.
Install the update.
Repair permissions again. -

First try a Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least Ten seconds... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons
If no joy... Do the Update using iTunes on your Computer.

My ipod wont let me download a game it tells me i dont have enough storage when i have more then enough
To download and install an app the iPod needs storage available equal to about three times the file download size.
If you sync from your iTunes library less storage available is required.
Does the app/iPod meet this? -
Hi, my iPod touch has been unable to sync since downloading the new cloud software. It says: An error occurred while restoring this iPod (-34) So my music is not on it. The apps are still on it. It doesn't have 3G so the cloud is pointless anyway. It just said it was a software update, I should have avoided it. Music is all I use on it so help me please!
Error 20, 21, 34, 37: These errors typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. If you are using a PC, follow this article to resolve this issue.

Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.
Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help. -
I have recently downloaded the new IOS 8 and it has made my Ipod much slower.
is there any way to get IOS 7 back or a way to speed up IOS 8?Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple:

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.
