A confusing ipod touch 4g!!
i just got an ipod touch 4g and it serprised me to find that it is missing some features like
ibooks or itunes U and i cant find any acess to facetime
is this normal ?
To download iBooks and iTunes U
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
FaceTime can be hidden by Restrictions. Settings>General>Restrictions.
Also, if the iPod was was officially sold in one of the middle Eastern countries that prohibit FT there is is not way to make FT appear.

ITunes confuses iPod Touch with iPhone
Hi everybody
If I plug my iPod touch into the computer itunes gives me following warning:
The software requirde for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install iTunes again.
The iPod doesn`t appear in iTunes but charges.
Does anybody have an idea what I did wrong?
Thank you very much in advancemy ipod touch worked fine at work until i upgraded to the new itunes. now it can't be seen while plugged in. it charges but doesn't show up in itunes. i have done everything that i have found on the website and still nothing. any suggestions? i also upgraded to the 1.1.3 firmware so i really don't want to have to restore my touch again if i don't have to since i was charged twice for the upgrade (another story all toghether). it still works fine at home. the problem is, i have about 9 days worth of music here at work and i don't want to have to burn all of that to cd's so i can put it on my pc at home.

cant sync iPod touch. comes up with "cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (21.6MB required, 304.8MB available)." I am so confused. I have more than enough space even on PC.
That message is telling you that you do not have enough stgorage on the iPod to accomodate all the media you are trying to sync to the iPod.

IPod Touch + Gmail IMAP = Confusing
Hi,
So, how many people actually use Gmail IMAP with their iPod Touch's Mail.app? I've tried it out, and I've posted messages here about it, but it seems to be totally confusing and not make any sense. You can only MOVE not Copy messages on the iPod Touch, but Gmail works with a system of Labels that can apply to MULTIPLE messages. Gmail ONLY shows everything in threads, but the iPod Touch ONLY shows everything in a flat view with no option for threads.
As far as I can tell, even though the 2 can work together, they use different concepts that don't match up, ultimately ending in a totally confusing experience.I find the iPod Touch Mail app a failure, especially in Gmail. I synched five Mail accounts to my Touch last month and went traveling. Invariably I had to use Safari (with a handy icon) and sign into Gmail rather than use Mail. At different times in the other accounts I could not receive mail but could send it or v.v.
And since the most recent upgrade to the Touch firmware (1.1.4) not only do I see no change or improvement but none of my SMTP email accounts work!
There has been chat about the 82.11g vs 82.11n technology on the Touch but I have no idea if that's the issue. Let's push for iPod Touch Skype! -

Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

i have an ipod touch. previously when i did not update it it used to download skype and kik messenger but now when i have updated it it wont download any od them. i have 4.2.1 software at the moment. im really confused, what might be the problem here?
Many developers when they updated their apps fro the newer iOSs dropped support for the older iOSs. That included Skype and other developers. Unless you have a copy of the apps version that was compatible with your iPod/iOS you are out of luck. Do you cave such a copy in a computer file backup??

I have an iPhone 4s 16GB Model and I've been using it for about more than an year now. The reason I wanna get a new iOS device is because my 4s has got lots of scratches now and it's ambient light sensor seems not to work properly. Apparently, another reason is that the iLife and iWork suit are not free for me as my device is older and new devices get those softwares for free.
I thought to go with a new iPhone 4s again but the problem is that new 4s come with only 8GB of storage and they don't support AirDrop. So next, I thought to go with an iPod touch 5th gen because of its jaw-dropping design, bigger screen, more storage and AirDrop support. Because iPod touch is phone-less iPhone and they come at affordable price, I can also buy any cheap cell phone like moto e to replace my current iPhone 4S.
Another options that I thought a little bit on, is iPad 4th Gen and iPad mini with Retina display 16GB.
Now, should I just stick with my current 16GB iPhone 4s, or get a new one.
Or should I buy an iPod touch 5th gen and moto e (since iPod can't make phone calls)
Or should I go with one of the two iPad models that I aforementioned.
Awaiting your valuable suggestions.
Thank you!Found one on best buy

They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.

ITunes having iPod touch and iPhone confusion.
Help?
My 32GB 3rd generation ipod touch has gone permanently black after a couple of weeks of playing up. I have tried to reset it by holding home and sleep with absolutely no response.
When I connect it to my mac through iTunes a info box pops up stating "iTunes has detected an iPhone in recovery mode. You must restore this iPhone before it can be used with iTunes." Keeping in mind that I have an iPod touch not a iPhone I go to restore it anyway and it then states "Software for this iPhone is not currently available. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and try again." I've tried connecting it to other computers including microsoft, all with the current version of itunes with the same outcome.
I have the latest version of iTunes so I'm utterly stuck so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.Try placing the iPod in DFU mode and then restore.

ITunes is confusing update of iPod Touch with update of iTunes
I have a powerbook G4 1.25Ghz/2 Gigs RAM/120 Gig HD running OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1. I also have a iPod Touch 2nd gen running iOS 4.1. I'm trying to update the iPod Touch to iOS 4.2 using the "update" icon under the heading "Version" in the "Summary" window for the iPod Touch within iTunes. It is located next to a sentence that says "A newer version of the iPod software is available (version 4.2). To update your iPod with the latest software, click update." When I click on the update button, a window pops up that says "This version of iTunes (9.2.1) is the current version." Obviously, something is corrupted within iTunes. I just did an archive and install of the operating system and, afterwards, a reinstall of iTunes. Do I have to reinstall iTunes again, or is there an easier fix?
I think the problem is this:
You're running Tiger (OS 10.4), which is not compatible with iTunes 10
iTunes 10 is required to update to IOS 4.2 -
A book I purchased from itunes store downloaded OK and shows up on my PC but does not show up in ibooks on my ipod touch. I tried manually syncing and rebooting which did not help. From the pc in the itunes store the book shows up in the purchased list. From the ipod, the purchased list from the store is empty. Actually, the book does not exist when trying to search for it at the store from the ipod. I'm confused. Any solution or suggestion?
The book is in ibooks format. The extension is ".ibooks". I did delete it from itunes and download it again from the store a few times. I tried updating my ibooks app. I even sent it to the ipod through dropbox. I looked through all the settings I could find in itunes and ipod. So far no matter what I do, ibooks does not see this book.

Problems with iPod Touch.
Hi, I bought an ipod touch in Colombia a couple of months ago but lost the invoice, I tried using it but everytime I connect the iPod to the computer, it restarts over and over again, I've tried all the recommendations show in the Apple support site, but no method has proved the question is, I can take this ipod to a Mac store in the U.S. for repair or change.
I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it.
Thanks in advance for your quick responseYou should be able to go to the USA for warrantee service. If you purchased at an Apple store you should be able to go to your account in iTunes and see the purchase. I am confused by your statement:
"I live in Venezuela, there is some Apple store in my country where I can take it."
If you go to the Venezuela apple website you can see if/where there are Apple stores. -
How do i synch my pdf/books to my Itunes library. I was able to synch my ipod touch app purchases by transferring them but can't figure out how to do my pdfs. Also why is my ipod picture greyed out-the one that lets my move the icons around.
I am afraid if i don't get the pdfs into my book library, i will lose them when i update to IOS 5-is that true?thank you-i have to check into the authorization and the account-i gave my husband my old ipod when i updated last year so both at one time have been on this computer but as it stands, it only comes up with my device when i plug into Itunes.
i don't think i have any restrictions for installing apps although my normal way of doing it is to download from the ipod touch. i did find that all i had to do was right click on my device name and got the message to transfer my apps and then they showed up in my library. Also when i clicked the synch checkbox i was able to view the ipod touch picture without it being greyed out. after all that i was able toupdate to IOS 5 successfully except my videos and podcast, and pdfs did not come over. This confuses me since i had dragged them over to my library to make sure that i had everything in my library and on my device. Not a big problem, since i just dragged them in itunes from my library to my device but sometimes i wonder if i understand the big picture:) -
My husband and I have upgraded our phones (iPhone 4s and iPhone 5) to the iPhone 5s. We have given 2 of our kids the "old" phones and want to set them up as an iPod touch. Both kids have email and need to be able to text (iMessage).
I have read multiple posts on how to do this and I am still confused.
Apple ID/ICoud:
We want to be able to monitor what they do, but do not want their devices linked to our emails/contacts/etc... Each kid has their own email account. So, from what I have read the best way to do this is to use our family Apple ID, but set them up with a separate iCloud account? Is this correct?
Reset/Restore/DFU:
To start fresh we have done multiple factory resets. I did one that someone said was a DFU and a plan ol' factory reset, etc... Not sure the difference. However, when I do that I get the "hello" screen and am able to start setting the phone up anew. However, when I go to set the phone up as an iPod I end with the same result.
So, here is what I am doing (tell me what I am doing wrong):
Hello Screen
Asks me to select language and selecting: English
Select Your Country or Region: United States
Choose a Wi-Fi Network: select my home wi-fi network
Enter password: entered my home wi-fi network password
Activiate iPhone - wants me to enter Apple ID and Passwordsays that this iphone is currently linked to an Apple ID (k*******@gmail.com). Sign in with the Apple ID that was used to set up this iPhone.
Location Services - I have enabled location services
Set Up iPhone
Set Up as New iPhone
Apple ID
Options are to sign in with your Apple ID or Create a Free Apple ID
Or I could "skip this step"
I signed in with my Apple ID
Terms and Conditions - Agree
iCloud - I can select either to use iCloud or Don't Use iCloud - I selected use iCloud
Find My iPhone - I can select either to use find my iPhone or to not - I selected use find my iphone
Once I do this it says iMessage and FaceTime and shows the following:
my email
my other child's cell phone number
and my husband's work phone number
This is where things do not make sense. I only want the phone set up with the current child's email address. Where did I go wrong?There are a number of Apple services: iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud, Game center, Find My iPad, etc.
Now, to share apps, music and books you need to have the same Apple ID:
iPad's Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Your purchasing Apple ID.
For the other service, your wife should have her own Apple ID.
All she needs is a valid e-mail address, apply Apple ID below:

IPod Touch 4th Gen starts from the same song
I recently updated my iPod Touch 4th gen, 32 GB to iOS 6.1.2, from 5.1.1. I skipped iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, and 6.1.1. After the update, I noticed that when I play music from my "All Music" list, my iPod always starts on the same song, no matter what song I listened to last. Sometimes it starts at a song that's farther down the list, but I haven't been able to figure out what circumstances caused it to start at that song. To make things more confusing, once it chooses a different song, it always starts from that song.
I have confirmed that Shuffle and Repeat are both OFF. This issue occurs whether I have recently charged/synced my iPod or not. It also occurs after I perform a hard restart on the iPod. I have not tried restoring it, because I have not had time to dedicate the several hours it would take to re-install iOS and copy all of my stuff back onto it.
My computer is running Windows 7, 32-bit. My iTunes is version 11.0.2.26.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has questions relating to this issue, I'd be happy to answer them.I didn't mention this in my initial post because I didn't think it was relevant, but the Home button on my iPod doesn't work. I've been using the virtual home button provided by turning Assistive Touch on.
I did try the first solution you suggested, but nothing happened. I'll make another post when I try the second method.
On a side note, and if it makes any difference, the device in question is not a phone. It's an iPod Touch. -
For Christmas, my older sister got me a portable charger for my iPod. I'm not sure if it was capable with apple products, but it charged my iPod when I used it. My brother came upstairs and took my portable charger from me, so I went to go use my wall charger. The wall charger I have has always worked and it charges my mom's iPhone, so the problem I have isn't my charger. After I plugged my iPod in my charger, a message popped up saying "This accessory may not be supported". I was confused because this never has happened before, so I tried my portable charger after I got the message. The portable charger didn't charge my iPod anymore apparently after I tried my charger. All this happened the day after Christmas, so it's almost been a month without my iPod charging properly. My iPod does charge, but only when I plug it in halfway and am about to turn it all the way off. The only way I get it to charge is when I plug it in real fast as soon as I turn my iPod completely off. I've also restarted my iPod, cleaned out the charging area, asked people at stores that work with technology, and etc, so if someone could help me resolve this problem that would be legit because I use my iPod on a daily basis.
That message is usually due to a bad cable.
