HT4759 Will iCloud work if have 4th gen. iPod touch (iOS 6) but an iMac running OS X v.10.6.8 (1.83GHz Intel Core Duo processor prevents Lion upgrade-according to Apple)?

Will iCloud work when iMac (1.83 GHz. Intel Core Duo) is running Mac OS X 10.6.8 with 4th gen. iPod touch (iOS 6) because unable to upgrade to Lion due to processor's inablit to meet Apple's specifications for Lion? My family had three iPod touch (iSO 6) devices and currently use iClou, but set it up with a Macbook Air using Lion- but yesterday it died. Is there any way to retain the use of oPod touh devices, iTunes purchases, and iCloud services (and the huge amount of money spent on the) if not able to use the Macbook Air? I know the iMac is "old" but do not have thousands of dollars to purchase new computer at this time.

10.7.2 or later is required to use iCloud on the computer. Your iPod Touch, however, would have full use of iCloud.

2nd gen iPod touch+iOS 4.2.1=problems

Hi!I have a 2nd gen iPod touch which has iOS 4.2.1 I'm using it with a Samsung Galaxy microphone headset. Since I have iOS 4.2.1 on the iPod, it skips tracks, stops in the middle of the track and starts to play another one or just simply puts itself into FFW or stops while in my pocket. I'm using the device with this Samsung Galaxy earphone/mic combination for a long time, however I had no problems with it under earlier iOS versions. The shuffle for shake option is switched off in the settings of the iPod. Why is my iPod still going crazy in my pocket? Even when the screen is locked?

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. 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
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults.
If you still have the problem then you may have a problem with the headphones. Maybe a bad connection or intermitent short/open.

I have a 8gb A1288 (2nd Gen) ipod touch having huge problem during update, please help

I have a 8gb A1288 (2nd Gen) ipod that has been working fine till now. The device asked for a software update and downloaded the necessary software. During the update process; however, something happened and the computer started not recognizing the device now. On the device screen there is a symbol asking for me to connect the cable to itunes but even if I connect it to the computer, the device is not recognized. Resetting the device didn't solve the problem. Could you please help?

Hello!

This is how to put your device into DFU:
1. Connect to A computer with iTunes open, Turn off (Whilst still connected)
2. Hold Home + Sleep/wake together for 10 seconds.
3. Let go of sleep wake BUT keep holding home for 10 seconds.
This shoould result in a message on your PC/Mac screen. Follow the steps and it should work. Let me know of the results.

Ipod Touch iOS4 update problems

i recently updated my ipod touch to iOS4 software. the only problem is that i cant multi task, and i cant add a picture in the menu screen. so, i decided to search the web for an answer, and it turns out unfortunately, there is currently no help for 3rd gen 8gb and 16gb users (im 8gb). so, i was just wondering whether anyone knew if apple were going to sort out the problem, as it's a bit of a pain. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! thanks

I'm afraid to say that this is not a bug and won't be fixed.
As reported on the main site .. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ios4-software-update.html
1 Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
2 Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.

Anyone else have this problem ? How can I fix it ?
Have tried reloading update and that hasn't helped.
Please help.

IPod Touch 2G Update Problem from 2.2.1 to 4.2.1

Hi @ all
and at the first, sorry for my bad english.
I have a strange problem with my iPod Touch 2G 32GB.
At the moment there is the version 2.2.1 installed.
When i connect it to the pc, there pop's up a Message,
that there is a new version (4.2.1) available.
Wenn i confirm this, the update process is running,
but after some time, it pop's up an error message.
(Mostly error 1601 or 1604).
AND the iPod is complete dark (only black screen).
No apple logo or itunes connect image, only black.
With some time i get 'blind' in the DFU mode and so
i can recover the Version 2.2.1. All other firmwares
3.x or 4.x do not work. Alway's the same Problems.
I have tested this on different pc systems with the newes
iTunse version and in Recover and DFU Modes with the same
bad results.
What can i do, to install the firmware 4.2.1 on my device ?
I hope someone can help me.
Best regards,
AttNet

Yes, i have do all the things, but with the same result.
I have update a second ipod touch 2g 32GB (from my girlfriend) from
2.2.1 to 4.2.1 without problems.
Only my device have this problem.
I have the newest itunes installed on two different pc systems also with
the same bad results.
I found the following. Before the update is started, the device is
in by example DFU mode. I can see it with usbview on the port.
When an update is running normal, this descriptor is canceld and the
device coms up with an other one (by example iBoot Device)
Then the update start. The first USB connection is ok, and then, this
one is canceld but the second on, don't come up.
itunes wait a long time for it and the ist pop up error 160x message.
For my bad device it work's, when i use an firmware file with version
2.x.x but for all others (3.x and 4.x) the update do not work
(while the second usb descriptor don't comes up).
But this is not an hardware Problem of the device and not from the
pc side. 2.x Versions are running .....
I hope someone has an other idea for me :-(
Best regards and thank you for your reply !

1st generation ipod touch ios update

does anyone know if apple has fixed the ios update for the 1st generation ipod touch yet? my update is only 1kb in size and always errors one download. any suggestions?
Thanks its much appreciated.

yes. at least the link i was sent a few months ago took me to apples ios update for version 3.1.1, I am currently running 2.1.2. I paid for the update and apples page says it should be 250 MB in size, but the update i recieved was only 1kb an errors every time itunes tried to download it.

3rd gen iPod touch, iOS 5.1.1. Purchased music appears to be on device, cannot be played, cannot be deleted. Not sure what I did.

3rd generation iPod touch with iOS 5.1.1. This is now my daughter's iPod and apparently it had been set up to automatically sync new purchases, but the iTunes store and Match were turned off, so when I removed restrictions tonight to update some apps and reconfigure some stuff, a bunch of albums purchased in the last few months tried to syncrhonize to the device. Somehow I eneded up removing the download option yet the album titles and songs appear in the music app. How can I remove these "files"? According to iTunes, they aren't on the device. They do not play. There are no pending downloads in iTunes store.
I am hopeful there is a solution short of restoring the device. Since it's my daughter's iPod now (handed down) and she has her games with progress saved, any restore will erase her progress.
Thanks in advance.

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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music (This delete all may not be applicale to iOS 5)
- 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. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Ipod touch IOS upgrading problem

My cousin just gave me her ipod touch and as soon as I plugged it in all the apps disapeared. Whenever I press check for update it just says, "you have the latest version 2.2.1" What do I do?

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

Question about iPod Touch iOS update 5.1.1

I'm debating whether or not this update is worth it considering the situation that I'm in. Currently, there are a LOT of albums that I downloaded from CD's. When I try to update, it says that it will completely wipe all of my media, apps, and their content so "make sure to perform the update on the computer that you sync with". Does this mean that I will lose all of my downloaded CD's, and have to re-download them?

- If you update via iTunes all the synced media like apps and music has to be in the iTunes library since the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the update does not included synced media.
- If you already have iOS 5.X, you can update to 5.1.1 vi Settings>General>Software update and it only downloads the changes (not the entire firmware like an iTunes update) and nothing is lost.
- To move stuff from the iPod to the computer see:
