Try resetting the iPod. 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.

Apps will not sync to my Ipod touch

I read through the other question about the apps not syncing to the ipod touch. I then realized that I do not have the Applications tab on my Itunes. I also just recently downloaded the new Itunes as well. Not sure how to get the applications tab or how to get them to sync without it.

Two questions, have you ever been able to Sync Apps to his Touch and have you *enabled restrictions* on his Touch?
On the Touch, go into the Settings/General/Restrictions menu and look for *Installing Apps* on that list. If you have set restrictions on, *Installing Apps* is set to On as a default (on my Touch anyway), so you need to turn off the Apps one, at least until you have installed the ones you are prepared to let him have.

Certain apps will not install on my iPod touch 1G due to software version

I bought an iPod Touch 1G off a friend recently. When I got it off him, it had several versions of Angry Birds which all functioned perfectly. Since having to erase all the data and the apps on the device in order to sync it to my computer, I don't seem to be able to install Angry Birds at all and when I try, I get an error message saying I need to update the software version to iPhone 4.
According to my iTunes it is currently on the latest software version which is 3.1.3.
I don't understand why I can't install applications that were working fine before I synced the device to my computer. Could it be some cross-platform issue between my friends Mac and my Pc?
If anyone has a solution, I would be grateful as this is getting frustrating.

First of all, the 1st generation Touch can only instal and use up to iOS 3.1.3, even though there are later versions of the iOS available for newer iPod Touchs. The 1G simply isn't capable of using iOS 4.
As for Angry Birds, there appear to be six versions available (in the UK store), three are paid for and three are free. However, of the three free versions, two require iOS 4.0 or higher to run. So the versions installed on your iPod when you bought it must have been paid for or Angry Birds Lite. I assume therefore that you have been trying to instal Angry Birds Free and Angry Birds Rio Free, which both require iOS 4.0.
I have no idea why there are six different versions or why some require a higher version of the software than other versions.
So either try installing the Angry Birds Lite or buy one of the other versions. Be aware though, that if a version you buy then gets updated and subsequently requires iOS 4, it will be removed from your Touch (as it will not work).

App will not load onto my Ipod Touch (4). How do I get a refund?

I downloaded the App "1000 Exercises". It shows up on Itunes, but does not go onto the Ipod. I tried doing the suggested "deauthorize" the computer routine. It does not work. How do I get my money refunded. Thanks

You can report it as a problem using the procedure here:

Have you synced apps from that computer to your iPod before? Have you tried downloading the app directly to your iPod?

Will not load onto my ipod touch

I bought Angry Birds Space yesterday and it loaded to my iPhone but will not load to my iPod touch.

Even if you enabled Automatic Downloads now, it wouldn't apply to past purchases. Only if you buy a new app from that point on should it automatically download.
For Angry Birds Space, you can redownload it from the App Store at no additional charge.

HT201272 A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are on my iTunes, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod.

A lot of my songs, once put on the iCloud, will not download to my iPod. They are in my iTunes library, already downloaded, but will not appear in my library on my iPod. There is no common thread for the origin of the songs--many were ripped from CD's, others purchased in the iTunes store. Before I started using iCloud, all music in my iTunes library was on my iPod without any issues.

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Overdrive app will not download on my MacBookPro

Overdrive app will not download on my MacBookPro. The old icon appears and now the overdrive page is fozen and locked on my screen. I have a book from the digital library ready to go but when you open it, it says file corrupt.

Other is weird stuff and usually decreases when the iPod is synced. Based on iPad experience, frequently storage space on the iPad is not reclaimed (even though it says it is available) when items are deleted via the iPad. The storage space is reclaimed upon syncing. Maybe the same applies to the iPod.

My new iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G

I was pretty well assured that under my same iTunes account I would sync my Apps, music library, etc with out problem. I'm not sure if there's a setting I'm missing somewhere? The other thing is the iPod Touch is gone, so I have my library. Any advise? Thank you in advance!

What do you mean your "iPhone 3G will not sync with my iPod Touch 3G"? You don't sync an iPhone with an iPod - you sync directly to iTunes.
Just plug the iPhone into the computer with your iTunes Library on it and sync it as normal. Everything that is in that iTunes Library under that iTunes Account will be synced to the iPhone, in exactly the same way as you synced your iPod touch.

App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon

Device : iPad Air 32gb wi-fi model (not cellular data)
OS version : 7.1.1 (up to date)
Location : UK
Problem : App will not download to iPad when purchased from App Store - stuck with Cloud icon
Last night I tried to download an app over wi-fi onto my iPad Air, but the app did not install.
I have plenty of space (the app is 24.1mb, I have 3.4gb free space) and there are no restrictions whatsoever on my iPad - no blocks on App store purchases, no age-related restrictions, no country restrictions etc.
Normally from the App Store page you would tap the price (in this case the app was free), enter your iTunes password, and the app would download.
Also a new icon appears on the home screen and a circle shows the progress of the download.
However this did not happen.
Instead I have the Cloud icon (the one that shows when you have bought an app but it is not currently installed on your device) and a message that says "You've already purchased this, so it will be downloaded now at no additional cost".
If I press OK I am then prompted to enter my iTunes password, the Cloud symbol briefly changes to a circle (and I mean for a split-second, like the blink of an eye) and then the Cloud symbol appears again.
The app does not download - in fact it does not even *attempt* to download.
I have tried this >20 times now and it always occurs excatly like this.
After Googling this problem (which seems common) and reading over a dozen threads on this forum plus Apple's own official support pages, this is what I've tried:
I can re-download other apps that I have previously purchased on this iPad, with no problems.
I purchased another app on my iPhone 5 and was then able to download onto my iPad with no problems.
I have reset my iPad >5 times - both by pressing/holding the home/power buttons, and also a full switch off and restart.
I have logged out of my iTunes account on the iPad, and logged back in.
The wi-fi is Virgin Media fibre optic broadband with a verified speed of 20 meg (confirmed by Speedtest) plus an 802.11-n Belkin router and my iPad will happily load web pages, stream videos on YouTube, download other apps etc.
I have reset/rebooted my internet connection
In an attempt to eliminate by broadband connection from the possible causes, I have switched off my router, linked my iPad to the hotspot feature on my iPhone and tried to download the app over cellular data, but still cannot download the app.
I have tried on 2 other wi-fi networks but still cannot download this one app.
My iTunes account has a cerdit balance from an iTunes card, but the app was free anyway
Nothing I try will download the app in question.
The app is iPad only, so I cannot install on my iPhone to try and kick-start the process.
I guess I could install the app on my computer and then sync the iPad, but that's *working around* the problem - it's not *fixing* the problem.
(Since getting the iPad I use almost never use my computer. And anyway what if I did not have a computer? Didn't iOS go "PC-free" with version 5?)
I would like to call Apple but my 90-day telephone support has expired (the iPad is around 6 months old) and I don't want to buy Apple Care for this one problem.
I can't make it to an Apple Store to speak to a Genius.
Bearing in mind the list of things I've already tried, what do I do next?
Thanks in advance for any support.

Hi there.
Thank you very much for your quick reply, it's really appreciated.
No need to apologize, I actually found the phrase "If your iPad ever craps the bed" amusing under the circumstances
I checked the list of installed apps like you suggested (Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Show all apps) but this problem app is not in the list. I have also swiped down on the home screen to search for it, but again it does not show.
While it has not let me download the app (and I just tried it again) it has helped me to eliminate a few things from the list of what to try, and I can definitely conclude that it has not downloaded.
I guess I need to fire up my PC and download it / sync my iPad.
Thanks again for your help

I have digital copies of Expendables 2 and The Bourne Legacy in my iTunes library. When I sync my iPod Touch, I'm told they will not play on my iPod Touch. I haven't had any problems before with movies. Any suggestions?

Is there an app i can download for a ipod touch 4 that uses your camera instead of your screen for a flashlight

is there an app i can download for an ipod touch 4 that uses your camera instead of your screen

Since the iPod touch doesn't have an LCDflash like the iPhone any app that would turn on the LCD flash on the iPhone into a "flashlight" wouldn't work with the iPod.

Apps will not download on my ipod touch
