Cannot customize home screen (1.1.4) Please help!!
I just purchased an IPod Touch 16Gb. I registered and upgraded to 1.1.4 and all is fine...except that I cannot customize the icons on the home screen. For example I'd like to move icons around and create shortcuts to web pages I visit often. To me this is an important feature...
The Features Guide (pg13) explains that you just touch and hold icons until they wiggle but they're not doing that on mine. This guide seems to assume you have the "January Update" installed as all the screen shots have the new progs showing. I tried restating, restoring, etc. all the stuff suggested on Apple Support but nothing.
Now even though I don't really need the new progs there are in this Jan update, I am prepared to shell out another $20 if it's what I have to do...BUT I CANNOT EVEN DO THAT...I live in Malta (EU) and it says that there is no iTunes store available here (stupid since I have a VISA card like anyone else and am willing to use it. I use it everywhere else online, except at Apple/iTunes??)...
An extensive search on Google and the only solutions I found are to jailbreak my new Ipod Touch. I don't want to have to do that but I must say I am very disappointed by this situation.
Surely there is a legit solution I can use...PLEASE HELP!!...and what's with this discrimination that I cannot purchase stuff from iTunes from here?? I have to find songs from illegal sources as well??
Is there an official Apple Support email address or is this forum the only thing I can use to speak to Apple?
No apple does not monitor these forums, and why would it help if they did? Do you not think that if it was possible apple would not want to take your money? You bought a ipod that did not contain the Jan. update, and thus your option for getting those apps and functionality is to purchase them from the itunes store. If this wasn't going to work for you, you shouldn't have made the purchase. If you were told that it was an ipod with the apps included then your grievance would be with the person in Italy from whom you bought it. Your only other option is to purchase a itunes gift card from somewhere or someone, and use that to purchase the update.

I have updated my ipod to both versions 1.1.3 and 1.1.4 but I still do not have access to the Customizable Home Screen and I also cannot add web apps. Does anyone know why this is?
Hi rmm26a,
You'll need to buy the iPod January Upgrade, to use this feature. You can see information about it [here|https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage] and buy it [here|http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewSoftware?id=2718726 04&s=143441].
Hope this helps! -
ipod 5th generation will not turn on, charge, or connect to macbook laptop. i was using it for music then all of a sudden the screen went black and was unresponsive. i have tried using other cords. also my home button is broken. someone please help!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipad icons shaking, NOT the customize home screen!
I've had an ipad now for about 2-3 months. While using it regardless of the app, the icons start moving randomly moving side to side and the search screen will show up along with the keyboard. This is NOT the customize home screen shaking that have a black x to remove apps, etc. This was happening before and after iOS6 upgrade so it has nothing to do with the OS upgrade, it seems to be a hardware issue.
Below is the link to a video I took:

Any ideas?Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

Blank screen in itunes store-please help im not very technical and when i click on my itunes app the screen is blank how can i fix this please?
See if any of the following fix it.
Try logging out of your account on your phone by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store and tap 'Sign Out' on the popup and then log back in.
If that doesn't fix it then try closing the iTunes store app via the phone's multitasking bar and see if it works properly when you open the app : double-click the home button to open the taskbar and then swipe or drag iTunes from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and the click the home button to close the taskbar.
A third thing to try is a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot. -
my iphone 5 is disabled and is not being read by itunes, itunes is giving me a prompt of my passcode, but that screen is not showing, please help me able my iphone.
+Do a DFU recovery:+
+1. Open iTunes.+
+2. Connect the iPhone+
+3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).+
+4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.+
+5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.+
If not, take it down to mobile dealers that can reset your phone for you. All data will be lost. -

I updated my ipod on my computer to the ios 5.1.1 and it updated but all of the music, movies, and apps were cleared off. I cannot put any of it back on please help!
Go to iTunea>Preferences>Devices and see if there is a backupright at the time you did the update. Then try restoring from that backup. If the apps are in your iTunes library, any app data will be restored to the iPod.
When restoring from an iOS 4 (or later) backup, if the device had a passcode set, iTunes will ask if you want to set a passcode (and remind you that you had protected your device with a passcode). iTunes will not ask you to set a passcode when restoring from iOS 3.x and prior backups.
Therefore, remembe the passcode that you enter this time.
It appears that if you restore from a backup, that backup is not subseqyently overwritten by the next backup. -
Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.
Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help. -
The notification simply states that the file is incompatible with my current version of Photoshop, which is crazy because it was working fine until now and I need to work on this and multiple other files.
Thank you!

WHEN I TURN MY IPHONE 3S ON IT ASKS ME TO CONNECT TO ITUNES AND RESTORE. I HAVE DONE THIS 10 TIMES AND STILL GET THE SAME SCREEN. CAN ANYONE PLEASE HELP??
Has your phone been jailbroken? If so, you will likely never get it to work again.
You can try placing your phone in DFU mode (search google) and restoring. -
Hi, on my fathers pc sometimes when downloading multiple tabs start opening and I cannot stop this happening. Could anybody please help me? for example, trying to download TomTom Start 25 user manual
