Hello shirlbell,
I would be be concerned too if I was not able to update my iPhone.  If you have not resolved the issue, I recommend following the steps in this article for an issue like this:

  • I was downloading updates for ipod touch 2nd gen and twice when I was to processing files stage it clicked off. There was no message on whether it was done or what I was to do next. I needed to reset the ipod. Now what do I do?

    I was downloading updates for Ipod touch 2nd gen and when the process was to the processing files point the screen changed and I wasn't given any idea as to whether the process was complete or not and if it was what was to be done next. I needed to reset the Ipod and now I am wondering what to do . Spend another Hour downloading and whatever amount on processing files and end up where I am now . Whats the next step in finding out what to do? This was the second attempt to do this with the first try happening the same except I am not sure how long the processing files part was.. Any suggestions as to what to try will be greatly appreciated.. Thanks

    Likely a batter problem since high temperatures destroy a battery.  I wold make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to see what they say.  It is free except for your time.

  • I had a group chat going with my friends on my ipod touch,but while I was not on it, they sent about 100 or so messages.Whenever I click on the messages button, it kind of freezes on a white screen, then goes back to the homepage. HELP!

    Please help!! What is happening and how do I stop it???

    If resetting does not work, put it in recovery mode and restore it, explained in this article:

  • HT1386 i got a used ipod touch and when I connect it - it doesn't show up on my computer. I have an Itunes account and it does not show my device at all. any clue what I', doing wrong? The ipod is on and plugged in

    I am having trouble - when I turn on my ipod touch - the only thing on the screen is a usb cable with an arrow pointing to the itunes logo. I got it from a friend who cleared all of his stuff off of it. I can't get any of the stuff I downloaded on it. maybe it didn't sync with my computer. it doesn't show up when I go to the itunes store on the top bar next to the library tab either. HELP ! lol

  • Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore.

    Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?

    No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.

  • How to listen to audio books on ipod touch, how to listen to audio books on ipod touch

    I have an ipod touch 32gb.  I just downloaded a sample of an audio book to listen to.
    However, I can't for the life of me get the audio to work.
    It just shows the book in print form.
    It is an audio book, I verified that.
    Help would be appreciated!

    Actually, this is my first time exploring books of any type via itunes.
    I've been only a music girl...
    The book in question: The Ultimate Happiness Prescription by Deepak Chopra. It is listed under Audio Books.
    I clicked the sample and it sent to my ipod touch.
    I see the book under the book APP, but it's in print form only.
    Obviously, I am a dumb bell when it comes to books!  Maybe I'll stick with music!

  • (Item) was not copied to the iPod (Name)'s iPod Touch because it cannot be played on this iPod

    Last week I purchased Star Wars the Clone Wars: Season 5 off of the iTunes store. I have purchased all previous seasons over the years and they have been able to play on my iPod. But when I purchased this new season, whenever I try to add the episodes to my device, an error comes up saying: "(Episode) was not copied to the iPod "(Name)'s iPod Touch" because it cannot be played on this iPod. This has never happened to me before, and I am very confused, and a bit frustrated. Does anyone know what this means and if there is a fix to it?

    Greetings Smallen8,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that while trying to sync a video from iTunes to your iPod touch, you receive an alert that the video cannot be played on your iPod. This can happen when you attempt to sync a HD video to your device. Please refer to the attached article for more information.
    iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device - Apple Support
    When you try to sync a purchased HD video that isn't optimized for your device, you may see a message like this one:
    HD videos purchased from the iTunes Store are offered in 720p or 1080p1 and are compatible with iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), Apple TV, and computers. You may need to download your purchased video from iTunes in the Cloud in a lower resolution for your device.
    Cheers,
    Joe

  • IPod touch: charging while sleeping

    iPod touch 1st gen. with OS 3.0
    Apple Universal Dock
    iMac 24" alu intel 3.06GHz with OS X 10.5.8
    A question that's puzzling me:
    For most of the time that I've had my iPod touch and current iMac, I've left the iPod in the dock overnight, connected to the iMac which I put into sleep mode overnight.
    For almost all of that time, the iPod has been fully charged in the morning, and if I wake the iPod while the iMac is asleep, the 'battery charging' icon has been displayed on the iPod.
    Occasionally, I've found that the iPod was down to less that 20% charge in the morning, but that has been the exception.
    Now, though, it seems that the iPod only charges when the iMac is awake. Leaving the iPod connected while the Mac is asleep seems to discharge the battery.
    I've tried a full reset of the iPod, and restarted the iMac - no difference.
    I've read here and elsewhere that it's normal for the iPod battery to be discharged if left connected to a sleeping Mac, but this has not been my experience until now.
    Has anyone else found that their iPod used to charge while the computer was sleeping, but stopped doing so? If so, do you know why it stopped, and how to get back to the previous behaviour?
    Thanks.
    MDP.

    However, the iPod touch has been charging successfully during sleep
    Then the computer was not really asleep.
    The drive may have spun down and the display has gone to sleep but if the processor is asleep, the USB is NOT powered (per the USB standard). If you are using a powered USB adapter, that will continue to charge but 5VDC from the iMac USB bus will not be available while the CPU is in sleep mode.
    FireWire is powered while the computer is asleep.
    A bit of info -> <a href='http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1384">Charging your iPod battery</a>
    "Important: iPod will stop charging if the computer, or portable computer, it's connected to enters standby, hibernation, or sleep mode. To charge iPod, connect it directly to a computer's USB port (not a keyboard) and make sure standby, hibernation, or sleep mode is turned off."

    I do not believe that your parents will go "spastic" because your iPod was stolen.  I'm thinking that you jailbroke it yourself.  Am I correct?

    You need to place the device in recovery mode.

    You might need to be asking the folks at Facebook.
