After installing ios 6, my ipod died. now I get this msg when trying to restore on itunes. ....please help!!
"the ipod could not be restored. this device isn't eligable for the requested rebuild" it is an ipod touch 4th gen previosly working on ios5.1

This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

HT201210 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage cant use

my iphone 4 after install ios 6.1.3 imessage,facetime and icloud cant use

"We're Sorry, Activation Server Temporarily Unavailable, contact Customer Care...Could Not Be Completed?"
99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, you need to get a sim card from the carrier the phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked.

Push notifications not working after installing IOS 7.1. Need your help.

TS1702 how do I find apps for the Ipod version 3.1.3 for the Ipod touch in Itunes?! Is there no more apps for the first gen Ipod? I've tried and tried and googled and can't find a single app that will install on this old Ipod. Please help!

I recently had an Ipod first gen with Ios 3.1.3 fixed and am in need of finding games for my son to play, but I cannot for the life of me find any games or any apps that can be installed on this Ipod! every time I download something and try to install it, Itunes keeps telling me that the app requires a newer Ios! There isn't any new Ios version for this ipod that I can find. Itunes won't install any newer version of Ios, and no new apps can be found that can be installed. Please help me.

iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

Can't activate after installing iOS5 on iphone 4..PLEASE HELP!

Went to update my iPhone 4 on Thursday, 14th. This is a phone that I have been using without any problems since the release of the iPhone 4. At this point I am using my PC (I have also tried on my Mac), so I download the new iTunes 10.2 or whatever the latest one is, then I download the iOS5 for my phone, then update. Well, it gave me an error half way through and said that I needed to restore. That fine cause I just backed eveything up, so I hit restore and everything seems fine until it trys to activate. Here's what come on the iPhone screen:
Welcome Screen
Select a language - english
Country or region - US
Location Services - Enable Location Services
Wifi Networks
Activation your iphone (it may take up to 3 minutes to activate your iPhone)
Activation Error - Activation request could not be completed. If problems persists, please contact customer care.
In iTunes it has a similiar error that says: "We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."
I called Apple that night and talked to someone for about 2 hours and tried everything he knew to try and fix the error with no resolution in the end. He ended up transfering me to his supervisor and I talked to him for about 30 minutes until he said he would have to talk to someone else the following day and call me back. He did call me back the next day, but only to tell me that they were already working on it and it should be resolved by Saturday night. He told me to keep restoring it every 2-3 hours and eventually it will finish activating.
Well needless to say, it still still wasn't working by Sunday, so I called them back and talked to another supervisor and he said there was nothing he could do and that I just have to keep trying because they are already working on it. That guy was kinda rude so I just decided I would call back Monday and get someone else.
Well, on Monday I called AGAIN, and get a supervisor who said he was aware of the problem, but that it should have been fixed the middle of the previous week. He said he would e-mail the person who was working with the problem and see what else I should do. He also said he would be calling me back today (now Tuesday, 18th) after I get off work and tell me what that guy says.
I have tried all these things on both my PC and Mac: restarting the computer, restarting itunes, restarting the iPhone, restoring the phone (like 100 times), reauthorizing the computer, restarting my internet (but it works fine for everything else), taking the SIM card in and out, connecting my phone to the internet and try activating without the computer, and calling AT&T (not a problem on their side).
I don't have an apple store anywhere close or I would just go there. I am getting so tired of dealing with this crap, and not having a phone (this is day 5 with a brick for a phone). I am just wondering if ANYONE can help me at all!! I am desperate and will try anything, PLEASE HELP ME!!!

has anyone solve this problem? i upgraded my iphone 4 to 5.1.1 and now i can see only ""We're sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care."
i tried mani sim card, laptops, wifi. but for 7 days the problem is still exist....
Please help me!!!

Problem after installing firmware 1.4... please help!

Hi all, i recently upgraded to firmware 1.4 (the recent available version)... and now, every few minutes the fan generates big noises (also generating heats around the speaker area)... i looked into the Activity Monitor and i found that there are some processes that are actually using up >50% CPU usage, but the strange thing is, i wasn't using these softwares at all...
the reason why i said it is a problem with the firmware upgrade is that, this problem didn't happen to me before upgrading.. and beside this upgrade, i didn't install any other software thereafter...
can some body please help me? is there anything i can do? or can i restore the firmware back to the previous version? thanks in advance.

Thanks Sweet Polly. But the fireware restoration they talked about on that page is only for those who had problem DURING the fireware installation. "Note: This CD cannot be used to return an Intel-based Macintosh computer's firmware to a previous version if a successful update has already been performed.". i've got the fireware 1.4 successfully installed, and i want to restore it back to my previous version...

Failed to download iOS 5 on iPod touch - please help?

I've tried to download iOS5 onto my iPod touch, following the instructions to first wipe it and restore it - it restore with the old 4. version, not the iOS5. How can I get it to download iOS 5? Thanks

Are you sure you have a 3G or 4G iPod Touch? Only those generation iPod Touch models can be updated to iOS 5. If you have a 2G iPod Touch, it can only be updated to iOS 4.2.1.
See here to help you identify what generation iPod Touch you have.

After installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore

after installing iOS 6 update my ipod touch 5G doesn't work anymore. Can anybody help me? Please!

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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I would really like to know how you managed to do that seeing as how the MBP is not capable of running iOS
iOS is only for mobile devices such as iPhones, iPads and iPods
The MBP uses OS X instead

IBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7, iBooks aren't loading properly after installing iOS 7

After installing iOS 7, iBooks doesn't work well.
I have to log into my iTunes account before I can read the book that I've already downloaded and started reading.
I also have problems logging in to iTunes and often have to do a complete shutdown and restart before I can log in.
It's very frustrating and if I don't have connectivity, I can't read any books!
How do I get this fixed?

Hi Dee12124,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I am going to get you to do a soft reset that, I will hope fix some of your issues.
To do this:
1. Press and hold the Home button (big circle below the screen) and the Sleep/Wake button (on top of the iPhone) simultaneously.
2. Continue holding both buttons until the iPhone shuts off and begins to restart. This will take anywhere from 10-20 seconds.
3. When you see the Apple Logo, you can let go of the buttons.
If this still doesn't fix your device, what we could do is try resetting the whole device, wiping it. If this is the case, get back to me and I will pose the steps below. I would recommend that you do this AFTER the device is backedup however.
Before you restore your device
Make sure you’re using the latest version of iTunes.
Use iTunes to back up your device. Transfer and sync any additional content to your computer.
Turn off Find My iPhone in Settings > iCloud on your device to disable Activation Lock.
Restore your iOS device
Connect your iOS device to your computer using the cable that came with it.
Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes. In the Summary panel, click Restore.
Click Restore again to confirm that you want to restore your device to factory settings and delete all data and content. iTunes will download the iOS software file and restore your iOS device.
After your iOS device is restored to factory settings, it will restart. Once it does, you’ll see the "Slide to set up” welcome screen. Follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. You can set up your device as new or using a previous backup. If your iOS device has cellular service, it will activate after you restore.

Unable to update my apps after installing iOS 6.1

unable to update some of my apps after installing iOS 6.1 on my ipad 3

After Updating iTunes to the latest SW, I connected my iPod Touch 3G to the computer then checked iTunes for any app updates, found those that could not be updated to the iPod alone - downloaded them - when complete iTunes synced to my iPod. Worked fine for me.
I have not installed iOS 5.0.1 - to many problems!!

IPhone 4 runs without SIM card after installing iOS 7/7.1.1

After installing iOS 7 and all the latest update by using iTunes on my iPhone 4 I now have the problem that when starting the phone without a phone card I get the information that the SIM card is blocked and that you have to slide to unlock, the same information you usually receive when such a card is inside. Once unlocked the code screen appears asking for the PIN. The iPhone runs after having entered the PIN and you can open and work with all the apps which don't need an access to the internet like Calendar, Notes, Settings etc.. What has gone wrong? Can anybody help me please.

The SIM is only actually required during activation. And if you want a connection to a cellular carrier, of course. Once activated, the SIM can be removed and the device can be used as if it were an iPod Touch. This has always been this way.
I'm not entirely clear on what you think is wrong.

HT4623 why am i experiencing short battey life after installing ios 7?

why am i experiencing short battey life with my IPad after installing ios 7 1 ?

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
