How do I get my 2G iPod to update to something past 4.2.1, preferably with multi-tasking, is it even possible, can I get a copy from somewhere else?
I'm trying to update to something past 4.2.1 so i can get multi tasking. Any help would be great.
4.2.1 is the latest iOS available for the iPod touch 2G.

I recently purchased the newest nano. I have 3 other nano's and iPad iPhone, oh and iPod touch. When I plug in nano to my mac I get the message "iPod cannot update because it contains files that are used by another application. How can manage this?

It means that nano was used on a third-party software or synced from different computer to sync music. Does that nano show in iTunes? If yes, then restore completely. If not, then you may need to head to Apple Store and see what they can do. -
I bought a song on itunes a while ago and I couldn’t back up my ipod because I needed more storage. Once my ipod was updated, ALL of my memory was deleted (since it wasn’t backed up) and I couldn't get my song back without paying for it again. Is there a way to retrieve it without paying for the second time?
Just follow these instructions:

I have a new iPod touch. It shows a picture of a USB plug going into the iTunes logo. Can't get it to do anything. What do I do?
You really need to repair your computer.
Please read Chapter 2.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again. -

Firstly, I can't open iPhoto on my macbook as of a few days and could it have anything to do with a problem I have updating my iPhone's software as I've downloaded extra iCloud storage but I still can't get the iPhone to recognise the space for software
No. With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when iPhoto opens?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
For the iPhone issue ask in the iPhone forum.

I have an early MiniMac with OS X 10.4.11. Can I get a free OS upgrade and which version should I choose? Do I just download and over ride the current OS system or what?
First what model Mini do you have? That will determine how high y can go.

Backup in case your disk is failing. (Post back if you need instructions on how to do that w/o booting OS X.)
Start up in Safe Mode; http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14204?viewlocale=en_US
If it boots reliably in Safe Mode then it is probably a software issue. Post back for more instructions.
Reset PRAM: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
Boot in Recovery Mode. (Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.) Run Disk Utility. Click on the upper left system disk icon. Does S.M.A.R.T. report “Verified”? If not the disk is failing and will need to be replaced. Click on the icon underneath and indented to the right, usually called “Macintosh HD”. Repair Disk. It should finish normally with a green OK message. If it does not try to repair it again.
If it will not finish with the green OK message then use Disk Utility to erase the drive and then reinstall OS X. (Be sure you have a backup before erasing the disk. Post back if you need instructions on how to do that.)
If it repaired all errors and is still not booting normally, reinstall OS X.
If it is still sick after all these steps then the disk probably needs to be replaced or it could be a disk cable. You replace these inexpensively and fairly easily yourself or take it to an Apple store for them to do it for you at a higher cost. If it is still under warranty or AppleCare have Apple do it for you for free. You may want to have Apple check the health of the system and disk before repairing it yourself. Post back if you need instructions on replacing the disk and/or testing the disk cable. -
My iPhone is using my work email to sign in to the cloud, but my apple id and password are with my "personal" email address. I can't get rid of my "work" email address on my iPhone 4S
Hi Sister Kate,
If you change the Apple ID you are using on an iPhone or other iOS device, there are several places you need to change it on the device. See this article -
Apple ID: What to do after you change your Apple ID
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

i just updated my software to maverick and my iTunes to the most recent version and i can no longer transfer songs from my iTunes to my iPod. The tracks stay gray with a stagnant circle beside them in the left column. Any ideas?
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/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

I plugged my Iphone into the computer to put my pics on the computer. It went strait to itunes an erased all my contacts and pictures and replaced them with my husbands contacts and photos. Can i get the contacts and photos back?
Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes on this computer before? If not, nothing is selected automatically under the various tabs for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
Was this the first time your iPhone was connected to iTunes on any computer? If so, the first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes for the first time that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or eyeless device to the iPhone or set up the iPhone as a new iPhone. This is not automatic, it must be manually selected. -
