Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

My husband gave me his iPod touch, even after resetting all settings, and even though I have a user name and password whenever I need to update apps it shows his previous user name, and is asking for his password. How do I fix that?

Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right. It does show my user name. It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password. Everything in iTunes and my account looks right. The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store. One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on. You can change that by going to Settings>Store. Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

I have now spent 2 full hours trying to sync Firefox on my desktop pc and my android phone. Won't work, even as I have followed every instruction correctly.

I went to FIREFOX, SET UP SYNC. I created a new account (email address, password twice, checkbox for Terms & Privacy, anti-robot box). On a separate tab, a screen appeared with the message "Set up complete!" I closed that tab, then went to the pc's PAIR A DEVICE screen, entered the code which appeared on my phone's SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen, then hit NEXT. The phone immediately showed activity (an animated horizontal box), along with the message "Waiting for other device".... After 7 minutes, the phone defaulted back to the SET UP FIREFOX SYNC screen with a new code in the 3 boxes, and the pc defaulted back to the SET UP SYNC screen with 2 buttons, SET UP SYNC and PAIR A DEVICE. Somewhere in the above process (I can't recall exactly where...), the pc asked me for a RECOVERY KEY -- which I could not find anywhere, neither on the phone nor on the pc. I repeated ALL of the above at least 5 times, always with the same non-result. Somewhere in the instructions, it described a "Manage acct." button for Sync accts. -- NO SUCH BUTTON APPEARS ANYWHERE, neither on the pc nor the phone. My specs.: Firefox 15.0.1 on pc, Firefox 16.0 on phone...... phone is Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000...... Android version: 4.0.4....... I'm very good at following instructions, but the Firefox Sync help pages describe buttons which do NOT appear on my devices and recovery codes which do NOT appear anywhere. Please, please help -- so much time invested already, so much frustration..... Thx.

When you open the desktop sync page (Tools > options > sync) does it look like the image below? If it does not then sync is not setup on the desktop computer.
If that looks similar then the other half would be to get an [https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.jtb.alogcat&hl=en aLogcat] log from your device when attempting to pair the device. Following the directions at http://160.twinql.com/how-to-file-a-good-android-sync-bug

I did use that functionality. I am looking at this thread now on my iPhone and I see the images just fine!

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem.

Trying to install the new itunes update and it keeps saying error could not install itunes. Currently I am running windows 7. Any advise to fix this problem. This is doing this when installing itunes/quicktime, safari 5, mobileme control panel, and the software update itself. The itunes version is 10.3.1

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

On Yahoo Mail...and ONLY Yahoo Mail..I get a 404 error after entering my user name and password. This doesn't happen with IE, just Firefox, and just Yahoo Mail. Yahoo was absouletly no help whatsoever; can you solve the mystery? Thanks

HI Emmet,
thanks so much for your posts back. I really appreciate it and yes that does help to know that you could not get it working.
I did have some success, in removing the SSL Authentication checkbox in the smtp server settings - I found that this allowed my friend to be able to send mail from the mail app via his sbcglobal (yahoo) account.
So that did help but of course the messages do not have ssl encryption and I'm not sure how big a deal that is for an individual. He is able to receive mail but unless the SSL authentication box is unchecked, he cannot send.
i hope that helps anyone out there also!
Thanks also for the tip about sparrow - yes I have heard of it and it is very popular, he may end up using that in the end.
Thanks again, much appreciated.
Felix

Why do all of my incoming calls on my iPhone 5c say they are from unknown, even though I have the person calling already in my contacts?

Caller ID can also be turned off on some networks e.g. iOS has a setting for UK phones to turn it off. You should try calling from a number you know is not blocked from sending the caller ID.

When I try to install Lion it tell's me "You can't use this version of the application install mac os x Lion with this version of Mac os x" even though I have the latest update 10.5.8 of Mac os X?

The install icon has this sign on it

You can't install Lion over Leopard. To install Lion, a requirement is Snow Leopard. So you can either upgrade to Snow Leopard first or you can make a bootable Lion install disc and use that to wipe your hard drive and install a fresh copy of Lion.
So to make a disk would require you to purchase Snow Leopard and upgrade to 10.6.8 so you can use the App Store, unless you have access to another computer to download it from with your Apple ID. Remember it is about a 3.4GB download.
Good Luck

Thank you for approving my feed iTunes . The only problem is, there is no art work, even though artwork was submitted correct sizes and formats were used. Why is this and how can the problem be rectified?

Thanks for getting back. Hadn't got round to re uploading the amended feed. I just did it now.
The only thing is, Feed Validator doesn't like it because of the picture size, and a couple of other things, it reeds the following:
Sorry
This feed does not validate.

I can't access to wi fi even though i have a good signal and the router is working properly (my laptop works perfectly)

Try rebooting the router and see if that helps. unplug it from power for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again.
You can also try restarting your iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader. The upgrades indicate they were successful but I still get an error message when I try to open I-Photo telling me I need to prepare the library

I-Photo won't open even though I have upgraded to OS X Yosemite and downloaded the I-Photo upgrader.
But have you run the the iPhoto Library upgrader? It is installed in Applications > Utilities. Launch it and direct it to your iPhoto library.
Which version of iPhoto did you upgrade from?
The upgrader is only necessary, if you have been running iPhoto7.1.2 or earlier.
