Also unable to put applications on ipod touch

We just "found" my son's ipod touch after many months and cannot put applications on it. It does not have an appstore icon. We downloaded seom free apps from the itunes appstore, but when we click on the applications tab of his device, it does not let us select any of them for syncing. I saw an earlier post about having an updated ipod version so I just purchased the ipod 3.0 software and there is no difference.
Please help. Thanks!

A couple of things to look for:
1. Do you have an iTunes store account set up?
2. Go to Settings > General > Restrictions and see if you have any restrictions set up to block iTunes, app installation, on so on.

I have here an iPod touch Model number a1288 but the last number to me also looks like a 3. But that isn't my point. I'm here asking this question,. I broke my screen today and I was wondering if it mattered or not if i put on a ipod touch 2nd or 3rd then LCD and Screen. I really don't want to buy a new iPod and i've had this for a long time and its still working fine for me. Ijust need something that will play my music at work. Please someone helpp.

You can check your model here: iPod Touch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and search this place for parts that would fit.

When i click wi-fi i only have my neighbours network to chose from if i click other and put in network name/security ect it says unable to connect,i have ipod touches that go on-line no problems

i have an ipad 2,it never stays connected most of the time in chose a network only my neighbours is shown,if i chose other and put my network in plus security ect it keeps saying not available,i have 2 ipod touches and they can get on-line so my router is not the problem,i have tried everything do apple know about this problem if so are they going to do something about it,if not im selling it

You need to provide more information about your network. What frequency does it use (2.4ghz or 5.0ghz), which wireless protocol (a, b, g, b/g compatibility, n), and what security are you using (WEP, WPA2, etc.)?
Please also provide more information about your iPod Touch. Which model is it, and which version of the iOS are you running on it?

How many songs can you put in an Ipod touch 64GB if you only use it for music?

I've heard the Ipod classic 160GB is discontinued. Could someone tell me how many songs you can put in the Ipod touch 64GB if you exclusively use it for music and don't put any photos, videos or anything?

I just did some quick figuring. There are a lot of variables. My 64gb 5th gen touch has only 56.6gb capacity so says the unit. Settings>General>About.
MP3 formatted songs vary greatly. I quickly perused my collection and found that the size varied from 3-7MB per song. Using the average of 4MB per song,(7MB is a rather large file for MP3) you will come up with 56.6 X 1024MB (1024 MB per 1GB) =57958MB/4 =14489 songs. This will probably never happen as there is cover artwork and different variables because of file size to consider. This gives you an Idea where to start.

Never mind, got it to work. I stumbled around on Google for a while and somehow ended up reading things from the 'jailbroken' community. They had easy instructions to get out of Recovery mode. Thanks anyway though!
P.S. For anyone who experiences this, here is the fix: Hold Power and Home in unison for 6 seconds, then power on as normal.

I am unable to back up my ipod touch, I try and do it manually and it sits on "Backing Up.........", it has been sitting on this all day. I am on the free 5GB plan, availabe storage is 2.3GB, any suggestions

Hello mig04,
While looking into the issue you are experiencing I came across some helpful information. In an article called iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992 there are a number of steps to help get your issue resolved.
General troubleshooting
General information
iCloud Backup requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet.
Automatic backups occur when you've plugged in your iOS device, locked the screen, and have connected it to Wi-Fi.
You can manually start a backup by tapping Back Up Now in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup (requires a Wi-Fi connection to the Internet).
iCloud Backup will provide helpful information and status messages related to backups at the bottom ofSettings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.
If automatic backups don't work as expected, test to see what happens when you start a manual backup by tapping Back Up Now at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen.
Backups and restores both take time, especially if you have a lot of data or a slow connection. Depending on the size of your data and the speed of your network, you may need to give more time than you expected to a backup or restore.
Make sure you have at least 50 MB of free space available on your iOS device before you back up. If you have no space available on your device, iCloud Backup can fail in some cases. You can verify how much free space you have available on your iOS device in Settings > General > About.
Cheers,
Sterling

Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, setings screen for imessage is not up

Imessage is unable to activate on my ipod touch, settings screen for imessage doesn't give me options to turn it on or off

Hello ecaseywage,
For issues activating iMessage on your iPod touch, take a look at the article below to walk you through getting it resolved. I would start with making sure that you have the date and time set correctly as well as making sure you are online. Because you said that you cannot turn it off, try restarting your iPod touch to see if can be turned off afterwards.
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime

Comment fermer totalement une application sous ipod touch 4g ?

Bonjour a tous ^^ voila mon probleme :
J'ai chercher sur internet comment arreter completement une application sous ipod touch 4g, mais je n'ai trouvé pour seule solution de laisser appuyer sur le bouton home 3 secondes. Mais cette méthodes ne marche pas pour l'ipod touch 4g (appuyer sur ce bouton 3sec ouvre le controle vocale et ne ferme pas l'application). Je voudrais donc savoir si quelqu'un a une méthode pour m'aider.
Merci d'avance :-)

Je te remercis d'avance une fois encore .
« est-ce normal ?» Oui
« puis-je désactiver le fait que les applications se lances d'elles même ?» Non. Pas par défaut
«et derniere question, ces applications en taches de fond utilise beaucoup de batteries ?» en générale, non.
«parceque jusque aujourd'hui j'ai trouvé que mon ipod perd vite de sa batterie :s» Malheureusement, beaucoup de monde a cette problème de batterie, surtout avec iOS 5.0.1. On espère qu'Apple va l'améliorer par une nouvelle version de iOS, mais c'est seulement un espoir.

Download Applications on iPod Touch

Can user download applications on the iPod Touch?
Or I can use only apps that I have on my Touch?

first, how come above you say 'my ipod touch' and now you say you want to buy one?!
Anyway! the ipod touch is amazing!
* the internet feature is almost like the safari on mac or pc (im using safari on my windows pc!)
* the music download is cool and allows you to download music from almost anywhere (aslong as there is wifi)
* the touch screen tops it off! making using it easy and fun- alot easier than a click wheel
* the picture viewer is also good, and you can zoom in by 'pinching' the picture!
* also the music is quite good quality, not as good as the ipod video though!
* youtube is cool, and when you are in a wifi zone you can watch all the music from youtube!
it seams, so far the only downside is the music quality, but unless you have really sensative ears (to sound quality) you wont notice it!
hope this helps!

New Applications on iPod Touch

I was wondering if you could put other programs on the iPod Touch? For example, I'm a pharmacy student and was wondering if I could put drug programs on it? Thanks!

So, let me get this straight, I cannot download applications to my itouch but rather I just access the website when I want to use the application, but on July 11 there will be new software that will enable a true download where I can access an application even if I am not connected to a wifi server?
Thanks

How To Delete old applications in iPod Touch

I downloaded many applications when I bought my iPod touch,, now that I wanted to delete some applications,, I can't delete it,, I tried to touch the application longer, but there are no "x" in the upper left of those application that I wanted to delete,, How can I delete those applications??

No good.
- If the Restrictions passcode was added since the last sync/backup then restore from that backup. Turn off Autosyncing otherwise when you connect the iPod to the computer the old backup will be overwritten and the backup with than have the Restrictions Passcode.
- Otherwise you will have to restore the iPod to factory default/new iPod.
If the Restrictions passcode is i the backup, restoring the iPod from backup will also restore the Restrictions passcode.

Ok when I put in my Ipod Touch and I want to update it to the new IOS it wont update past 4.2.1. Why is that? Is it cause of the generation of my Ipod?

My ipod wont update after 4.2.1 Idk why but now the ipod doesn't try to work right or post anything I put up or get into itunes. What's going on?

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

Unable to connect 1st Gen iPod Touch

Hi, I have a first generation iPod touch that I use in my car to connect to my Parrot MKI 9100 bluetooth car kit, and I need to add some new music to it. The problem is that I just noticed it won't connect when I plug it in...not in my car, not to a charger, not even to my MacBook. Is there a way that I can troubleshoot, or is the connection broken? Anyone have any help they could provide would be awesome. Also, if the port is broken, will the Genius Bar even be able to fix it, or is this thing just on it's last leg?

After charging fro half an hour reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- If still problem connect to its syncing computer and restore the iPod if the iPod shows in iTunes
- Next see if placing the iPod in recoverymode will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
The Apple Genius Bar will not fix/replace your dock connector but they will help troublshoot the cause.

Unable to upgrade a new iPod touch to iOS 5 (Windows)

My daughter has a Windows 7 laptop, and I am trying to upgrade her iPod touch to iOS 5. I have already upgraded her iTunes. When I connect her iPod, it asks if I want to update the software. I say yes. A few minutes later, it says "backing up device," but the progress bar never gets past a centimeter. I have left it alone for HOURS, and I have tried this several times. My husband tried turning off Windows Defender and the firewall, not sure if that would have made a difference but it didn't anyways. We don't have any other anti-virus running on the computer. Why won't her iPod touch back up?
Thanks in advance--
Susan

Close iTunes and disconnnect the iPod. The move the existing backup file to a new location so that iTues has to create an entire new file. The file is located here:
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
The try again. If necessary, you may have to place your iPod in recovery mode to get iTunes to see the iPod so that you can update the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
