Home Screen and mic on iPod touch 2G
My little brother has an iPod touch 2G and he wants to have home screen backgrounds on it, as well as multitasking. His iPod doesnt support these featurees in iOS 4, and I heard somewhere that if you insert a strand of code into the 'SpringBoard' file on the iPod, (I have Windows XP) that you can set homescreen backgrounds.
Another thing is that we have tried many different headsets and mics on his iPod, but none have worked. Also, when you plug any kind of headset/headphone in, the sound still plays through the speaker as well as the headphones. He most importantly wants a mic for some VoIP apps he has.
-Please help, thanks.
- The first question can't be discussed here. It violates the lience that you agreed to with Apple.
- The problem with the mics/headphones is likely due to a problem with the jack in the iPod. Try to following to eliminate a softer problem:
- Reset, 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.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If you still have the probem it is likely do to a jack hardware problem.

My 3rdG iPod Touch is frozen on the home screen and the volume and time works but the screen doesnt, what do I do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- 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. -
My daughter forget her password and now her ipod touch is disabled. Red message says to connect to itunes. When I do connect to itunes, the device is not recognized and then a message comes on the screen that says it is locked and to enter the password to access it. I cannot access the password and since itunes does not recognize the device, it does not come up on the list on the left, i cannot reset it. What do I need to do so she can use her ipod touch again? Thanks
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I tried to update to newest version via pc. I got error because i didn't have this recovery program disc that was supposed to come with the purchase so it says, but it didn't and now my ipod touch 8gb won't connect with itunes anymore and is stuck on a screen displaying an itunes icon with a usb icon.
oke i'm not done with the whole thing, but i'm doing that right now. Most of the advice I've already read didn't work and at a certain point it said something about shutting down programs then restart. but i notice that there are some pretty important system things in that list and i don't want to mess up my pc :s i'm not a pc genius... and because i'm dutch and my pc-language is in dutch I often have trouble translating and well... i don't always understand the technical stuff in all the articles -_-

I was in Aussie last month and dropped my iPod Touch (4th Gen) on the road. The screen was cracked on the top left-hand corner (where the wireless area is). The screen got fixed but the wireless stopped working. So I am wireless-less... I bought it last July and its still under warranty, but can I still claim a repair on it?
No because it was physical damage

my ipod touch recently cracked the screen is not very broken, I'm from Brazil and bought my ipod touch in Miami want to know where I can fix it there in the united states? And how much it would cost?
Apple will not take it as a trade-in for an upgrade to an iPad touch
The will take it for recycle only
Your best bet is to sell it on your own and then use those funds to get the new iPod.

HT4606 i put the new ios 5. and now my ipod touch can't open my wifi or bluetooth
i put the new ios 5.... and now my ipod touch can't open my wifi or Bluetooth it is haper on gray like it no disposable
How are you trying to accomplish these two tasks?
The correct way is as follows:
Camera zoom: pinch with your fingers like you do when viewing pictures.
Camera button in lock screen: Double-tap on the home button while in lock screen
If you are already doing it that way and it doesn't work, then maybe someone else here has another idea. -
