Can I download Apps to my computer and then transfer to an IPOD touch 4th generation?
I'm thinking about purchasing an IPOD Touch, 8 GB 4th Generation. I have Internet acces via Time Warner Roadrunner and my Dell Computer has Windows 7 Professional as an operating system. My questions are:
(1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
(2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
(3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
(4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
(5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
(6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?

(1) If I purchase this IPOD will I be able to download Apps without any problems?
Yes, AS LONG AS you are connected to a working Wi-Fi network that is connected to the Internet.
(2) Is there a way to transfer these Apps from my computer to the IPOD?
Yes. See here: Syncing and arranging apps from the App Store
(3) Are there any good Apps for keeping track of foods (calorie content), weight, etc.?
Yes. Search the App Store or do some research via Google regarding google calorie tracking apps.
(4) Can I check my hotmail account for emails in my car or anywhere I may be?
You can only check for email when your iPod is connected to a working Wi-Fi network. It does not use a cellular data connection like an iPhone or 3G/4G iPad can.
(5) I know many Apps are free; however, what are the prices for different music?
Songs prices vary. Any where from free to a couple of dollars. You'll have to just look around the Music Store to get a better feel for the pricing model.
(6) What kind of accessories would anyone recommend for this IPOD?
Definitely a case of some sort that will protect it from scratches or further damage if dropped. That's about all I will offer though.
Any other information that might be helpful to me would be appreciated?
8 GB isn't that much storage space especially after you consider that some of that is taken up by iOS and take into consideration how storage capacity is reported. You'll only have about roughly 6.5 GB of free space to use. So if possible, I would purchase the version with the next highest capacity at 32 GB.

Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?
Can I download lion to one computer and then install it on several computers I own?
You can install it on as many computers that you personally own. But if you have several then you may want to avoid having to download it multiple times:
Make Your Own Lion Installer
1. After downloading Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Lion application. After Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button. Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Lion installer. Move the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes installing Lion.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
3. Locate the saved Lion installer in your Downloads folder. CTRL- or RIGHT-click on the installer and select Show Package Contents from the contextual menu. Double-click on the Contents folder to open it. Double-click on the SharedSupport folder. In this folder you will see a disc image named InstallESD.dmg.
4. Plug in your freshly prepared USB flash drive. You are going to clone the InstallESD.dmg disc image to the flash drive as follows:
Open Disk Utility.
Select the USB flash drive from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the USB flash drive volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Drag the InstallESD.dmg disc image file into the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
When the clone is completed you have a fully bootable Lion installer that you can use without having to re-download Lion. -
Hi my name is Timothy and I have had my iPod Touch 4th Generation 32 GB for about 8 months and when I got it, it was fast but now i updated it to 6.1.6 and it goes really slow i have only used 6.8 GB of space on it and there is 21.7 GB left on it.
Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.
The 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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
Can I download iTunes on one computer and then install/update it on another
Hi. My home computer (where I use iTunes) is connected to Satellite Internet, which limits my daily bandwidth. This means I can't download large update files (like iTunes) unless I do it during the middle of the night.
So, is it possible to download iTunes on my office PC, burn the file to CD, copy it to my home computer, and then run it to install the update?
I want to be sure it will simply UPDATE iTunes versus doing a clean install where I'd lose all my songs/settings/etc. My fear is that the version I download on my office PC would be a full install, whereas the version I would download through iTunes Update would be an different "update version."
Thanks for any help on this.I was about to post the *same exact* question. I cannot connect to the internet, but I need to update iTunes to use my new iPod. I have downloaded the iTunes 8 install, and uploaded it into my computer. However, I want to make sure it UPDATES iTunes, versus a clean install.
I have a question regarding Niel's answer: you say the library and settings will remain the same: will I lose my PLAYLISTS from my iTunes 7?? I am worried about losing my songs, but I also REALLY don't want to have to rebuild all of my playlists from scratch~!
Thanks~

How to get sound and notifications to work on iPod Touch 4th Generation. Version 6.1.2
I would like to know how I can get the sound and notification on the screen when I'm using Facebook. When I go to settings and scroll down to Facebook, open the notifications under the logo, then go to notifications and open that I get this message that says, "Notification settings, including push notification settings, are locted inside the app. Open your bookmarks and tap Account Settings." Now I tried that and it didn't get me anywhere, unless I didn't go to the right thing, so if someone can help me figure this out asap, that would be very greatly appreciated.
On your iPod tap on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap on 'View Apple ID' on the popup and log into your account - that should give you a payments link on your account's page.
Or you can do it on your computer's iTunes by going into the Store > View Account menu option and logging into your account, and on your account's details page there should also be a payment link.

If you don't get the 'none' option on the payment details screen : http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS5366 -
Is there like a charge or something?
You can't do that at Apple. Apple, however, offers a recycling service, which might give you some $$$ back.

Is there anyway to take a downloaded app from one computer and put it on another without rebuying it. I have a macbook that I bought the new iMovie and iPhoto on, but I would rather it be on my iMac. So is there anyway I can change it? I thought that if I bought it the apps on my macbook, they would be avaliable on my imac like the mobile devices operate. The macbook has 10.6.8 cause its a older model and I think lion would slow it down. Any help??
Just redownload it on the other computer by logging into the App Store with the same Apple ID you used to purchase it.

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation and have not updated the software since I purchased it. When I first purchased the iPod Touch, I synced it with an old computer and an older version of iTunes. I no longer have access to the old computer and no access to the older music I downloaded onto the old computer. If I update the software for my iPod, will I lose all of my music that is currently on the iPod?

How can I download apps on my iphone and it is a version 4.2.1?
How can I download apps on my iphone and it is a version 4.2.1?
Go to the iTunes App Store, sort the applications by release data, and look at the older ones; these are likely to be compatible with iOS 4.2.1. If the iPhone is a 3GS or newer model, it can be connected to iTunes on a computer and updated to 6.1.3.

As I've already mentioned, I can't connect to iTunes or the App Store, the same message appears every time: "Cannot connect to the iTunes Store". I downloaded a few apps before I connected my iPad Mini to my Computer. I started doing an update that was about 9 or 10 hours long, somewhere around that time, and I unplugged it about halfway through the update and since then I've not been able to get onto iTunes or the App Store. I checked to see if I could continue the update but when I looked on iTunes again, no updates appeared. On my iPod Touch 4th Generation, everything works absolutely fine and it is logged into the same Apple ID. I've tried resetting my Network Settings, logging into someone else's Apple ID, connecting to a different Wifi, changing the DNS settings to 8.8.8.8, rebooting my Computer and iPad and changing the HTTP Proxy to Auto. Is there anything else I could try or am I just overlooking something? I would really appreciate it if someone could help me out here, thanks!
Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan. -

My iPod Touch 4th generation just won't download apps. I have tried everything I can think of. Please help!
Hi, when you say you have tried everything... I presume you have gone into Settings > Store and logged out and back in with your account details?
You could try purchasing an app via iTunes to see if its an issue with the device or the account you're using.
Hope this helps. -
