Ipod Touch iOS4 update problems

i recently updated my ipod touch to iOS4 software. the only problem is that i cant multi task, and i cant add a picture in the menu screen. so, i decided to search the web for an answer, and it turns out unfortunately, there is currently no help for 3rd gen 8gb and 16gb users (im 8gb). so, i was just wondering whether anyone knew if apple were going to sort out the problem, as it's a bit of a pain. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! thanks

I'm afraid to say that this is not a bug and won't be fixed.
As reported on the main site .. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ios4-software-update.html
1 Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
2 Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.

IPod touch iOS 6 Problems

Tried to update an app and screen froze. Saying the "app will begin to download" and an OK button, but nothing happens when touching the OK button. Haven't had any hint of problems with this iPod until IOS 6 release. Now having to reset the unit. Annoying.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. 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.
- 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
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

IPod Touch 2G Update Problem from 2.2.1 to 4.2.1

Hi @ all
and at the first, sorry for my bad english.
I have a strange problem with my iPod Touch 2G 32GB.
At the moment there is the version 2.2.1 installed.
When i connect it to the pc, there pop's up a Message,
that there is a new version (4.2.1) available.
Wenn i confirm this, the update process is running,
but after some time, it pop's up an error message.
(Mostly error 1601 or 1604).
AND the iPod is complete dark (only black screen).
No apple logo or itunes connect image, only black.
With some time i get 'blind' in the DFU mode and so
i can recover the Version 2.2.1. All other firmwares
3.x or 4.x do not work. Alway's the same Problems.
I have tested this on different pc systems with the newes
iTunse version and in Recover and DFU Modes with the same
bad results.
What can i do, to install the firmware 4.2.1 on my device ?
I hope someone can help me.
Best regards,
AttNet

Yes, i have do all the things, but with the same result.
I have update a second ipod touch 2g 32GB (from my girlfriend) from
2.2.1 to 4.2.1 without problems.
Only my device have this problem.
I have the newest itunes installed on two different pc systems also with
the same bad results.
I found the following. Before the update is started, the device is
in by example DFU mode. I can see it with usbview on the port.
When an update is running normal, this descriptor is canceld and the
device coms up with an other one (by example iBoot Device)
Then the update start. The first USB connection is ok, and then, this
one is canceld but the second on, don't come up.
itunes wait a long time for it and the ist pop up error 160x message.
For my bad device it work's, when i use an firmware file with version
2.x.x but for all others (3.x and 4.x) the update do not work
(while the second usb descriptor don't comes up).
But this is not an hardware Problem of the device and not from the
pc side. 2.x Versions are running .....
I hope someone has an other idea for me :-(
Best regards and thank you for your reply !

Ipod touch IOS upgrading problem

My cousin just gave me her ipod touch and as soon as I plugged it in all the apps disapeared. Whenever I press check for update it just says, "you have the latest version 2.2.1" What do I do?

This device is not eligible for the requested build: Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194." If you receive this alert, update to the latest version of iTunes. Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, follow Troubleshooting 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. First you must uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer, then edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from the 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. Also, using an older or modified .ipsw file can cause this issue. Try moving the current .ipsw file, or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

Question about iPod Touch iOS update 5.1.1

I'm debating whether or not this update is worth it considering the situation that I'm in. Currently, there are a LOT of albums that I downloaded from CD's. When I try to update, it says that it will completely wipe all of my media, apps, and their content so "make sure to perform the update on the computer that you sync with". Does this mean that I will lose all of my downloaded CD's, and have to re-download them?

- If you update via iTunes all the synced media like apps and music has to be in the iTunes library since the backup that iTunes makes as the first step of the update does not included synced media.
- If you already have iOS 5.X, you can update to 5.1.1 vi Settings>General>Software update and it only downloads the changes (not the entire firmware like an iTunes update) and nothing is lost.
- To move stuff from the iPod to the computer see:

Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)

You can't. The hardware on the 2G does not support an iOS higher than 4.2.1. You have to either:
- Live with not being able to install a lot of newer apps/app updates
- Purchase a newer model iPod
