  • How to install an app on ipod touch when it doesn't allow you to touch Free/install?

    Unable to install any apps on my daughter's ipod touch.  When you try to touch "Free" to install it, nothing happens.  Have tried turning it off and on again.

    This is a bug experienced by quite a few users lately that I'm sure Apple is aware of and working on. I have never had this problem, so I can't speak for myself, but I would try a reset. Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

  • How do you fix your ipod touch when you stop it in the middle of when its updating its software. all i get is a white screen or a screen with lines running down it. please help!!

    this happened when i was updating it from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1 i had to stop it before it was done updating and now all i get is a frozen screen.

    - Try a reset:
    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.
    - Then connect to computer and try to restore via iTunes.
    - If screen remains on (white, has lines etc), let the battery fully drain. After charging for an hour try the reset and restore as necessary.

  • When you back up an iPod Touch will the pictures be on itunes?

    I need help because i just got a new computer and i already have pictures on my ipod touch and i want to restore it because its not reading my ipod. How do i take pictures off an ipod touch and put it on a computer?

    - If the photos were taken by or saved to the iPod then:
    Copying personal photos and videos from iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer
    - The abov photos are also included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes. Yuo can connect the iPod to your new computer and righ click on the iPod under devies in iTunes and select Bac Up and then restore you iPOd form that backup. Just note that the backupup does not contain media like apps, music, synced photos.
    - If they were synced to the iPod from another computer then you need a third-party program like TouchCopy or PhoneView. They are paid programs.

  • HT1414 How can I unlock passcode on iPod touch when iTunes account is on ipad

    My daughter has brand new iPod, I set up passcode and immediately forgot it after setting it up.  I set it up without using a computer as my iTunes account is on my iPad, is there anyway to unlock it?

    Connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If necessary, place the iPod inRecovery Mode to allow the restore.
    A forgotton password is one of the uses that still requires a computer w/iTunes.
