Apple quietly releases iPod touch 1.1.5 update ????

+"Apple quietly releases iPod touch 1.1.5 update+

+ While some forward-thinking individuals were dropping $10 to purchase the iPod touch 2.0 software update, Apple quietly issued a free iPod touch 1.1.5 update. If you own an iPod touch that hasn’t been updated to version 2.0 and would like the update, just plug your iPod touch into your Mac and decline the 2.0 update. iTunes will then inform you that the 1.1.5 update is available for download and installation.+
+what remarkable features does this update bring? As far as I was able to discern, not a thing. I installed the 1.1.5 update on my 32GB iPod touch and used it, side by side, with my 16GB iPod touch, which has the 1.1.4 software installed on it. Poking each touch simultaneously, I ran through the interfaces on each and found no differences.+
+Some across the Internet have suggested that the 1.1.5 update improves the touch’s performance. That was not my experience. Applications launched in the same amount of time, Safari pages loaded identically, YouTube videos downloaded and displayed in approximately the same period of time, and stocks and weather on each iPod likewise updated simultaneously.+
+What purpose does this update serve? So far, Apple is mum on the subject as it hasn’t issued any technical notes on the update. Therefore, until we hear differently, we’ll assume that all changes take place “under the hood.”+"

Ummmm!!!

It's possible that the mystery update was a security patch to address a vulnerabilty in Safari that had been patched months ago in the Mac version. Apple has been taking some flak in the security blogs for letting it go unpatched in the iPhone/iTouch version.

  • My ipod touch was in an update and froze.  I tried to restore and an apple just stays on front and the screen stays white

    My Ipod touch was in an update and froze.  It shows a blank screen and sometimes shows an apple.  Now it will not restore.   What do I do?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    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 all music and resync
    - 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:

  • Can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working

    can apple replace my ipod touch for free if its stops working, because i havn't had it even for one year yet.

    As long as it's under warranty (The warranty is 1 year unless you have AppleCare) they will replace it for free if the iPod had an issue that was not caused by you.
    Apple will replace an iPod that is still under warranty if it has a manufacturing defect. That's not the same thing.

  • How to verify apple id? iPod touch, iOS 4

    how to verify apple id?
    iPod touch, iOS 4

    The link I provided in my first reply included:
    Why am I sometimes asked to verify my Apple ID by email?
    When you create a new Apple ID or make certain changes to your account, Apple will require you to sign in by following the link in a verification email. This is to help protect your identity and keep your account secure. Some Apple services, such as FaceTime and GameCenter, require email validation.
    How do I verify my Apple ID by email?
    Simply follow the link in the verification email that says "Verify Now." Sign in with your current Apple ID and password, then click Verify Address. You can also verify by signing in at My Apple ID. You'll receive an email prompting you to verify.
    Why do you want to verify your ID? Is something asking your?

    Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so your computer sees it and you can do a restore.

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up. You can't use the FIndMyiPhone app  on the iPod since the app requires iOS 7
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

    How to create apple Id on Ipod touch?

    I did that and it then asks for a email address that the new id will be created under; my kids don't have one. so can they not use the product because they are 9 years old and don't have individual email addresses?
