I bought an 8GB iPod touch in july 2010 advertised as a 3G iPod Touch and now it is a 2nd gen according to apple

I bought an 8GB iPod Touch in July 2010 and it was sold as a third generation iPod.  Now, apparently, I can't update to iOS 5.0 because i 'don't have a late enough generation ipod' according to apple.

Here is another thoight.  You pay $220 for an iPod and then, a year later, you cant update it because apple has phased out the hardware.

    First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
    Next try DFU mode and restore.

    If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You are not alone with this problem.

    - Headphones?
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    - 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.

  • I recently received an I Pod touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all my pictures that I have ever taken are now on my Ipod. How do I delete pictures that are not taken by the Ipod but were synced onto the ipod?

    I recently received an Ipod Touch 4th generation. I synced it to my computer and now all the pictures that I have ever taken are on my I pod. How do I delete pictures that have been synced from my computer?

    Hi megan21,
    Connect your iPod to iTunes, click on your device, and then click on the "Photos" page. If you don't want any photos on your iPod, make sure the "Sync photos from [photo application]" checkbox is unchecked. Or, you could select specific photos in that page to sync to your iPod.
    Hope this helps,
    O.C.

    Try DFU mode and then restore
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    Or try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - Next try the manual install method of:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
    - Then try on another computer

  • ITunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video. Any thoughts on why not?

    iTunes 11 previously imported a video file, which I loaded on to my iPod Nano, but I removed the file from the iTunes library and now it won't (re-)import the same video.
    I'm using 2 PCs, each with video files (.MP4) on their respective hard drives, and also one external drive with other video files on that I move between the two devices.
    iTunes on one PC will (sometimes!) let me add video content from the external hard drive, which is clearly iTunes-compatible, because I can then copy it over to my iPod Nano. On the other PC, I couldn't load that same video from the external hard drive. But if I copied that same video on to the PC's internal hard drive first, then iTunes would let me import it. That was yesterday - now iTunes is refusing to load any files from the internal or external hard drive(s).
    Any thoughts or suggestions, please?

    So I tried copying the files from the external hard drive to a USB drive. I could import the video files from the USB drive!
    So then I tried importing the same files on to my PC's internal hard drive again. I could import the video files from the internal hard drive!
    So then I tried to import the very same files that failed to load on the very same PC previously. I could now import them!
    I still can't import from the external hard drive directly, though.
    I really don't think I like the process of importing things into iTunes very much... any suggestions on what's causing any of this behaviour would be very interesting.

  • HT3455 I got two receipts from the same tv show I bought. How's that even possible? I clicked the 'buy season ' button the first time and there was an error so I clicked it again, and now, I apparently paid for it twice!  Apple is such a rip-off!

    Wow.
    Over react much?
    Check your purchase history.  See if it actually charged you twice.
    If it did then contact itunes support for a refund.
    No need be so over dramatic.

    I bought too many songs from the album so balance was less than $1.29 and now the complete my album link is not there. What can I do to pay the balance only?

    "Note: if you previously acquired a certain number of single tracks from the same album that the Complete My Album price would be less than the current price for a single song (a single video for a video album), you will not be able to purchase the remaining tracks using Complete My Album.

  • Ipod touch 2nd gen stuck on apple reboot screen

    Hopefully someone can help... For the past 2 days, my touch has been stuck on the black screen with a white apple on it (the reboot screen). Approximately every 15 mins or so, the screen flashes to white as if it is trying to open something, flashes to black, and then the apple screen re-appears. Prior to this problem, I had downloaded some ebooks from the Barnes & Noble EReader App. I have tried holding down the wake/sleep key at the same time as the menu key. This will turn it off, but when I turn it back on, same problem. I have connected it to my computer via USB and it hasn't made a difference. I have tried connecting it to the computer, holding down the wake/sleep key at the same time as the menu key until I get a black screen and then continuing to hold both until the reboot screen appears again. I have tried this several times and nothing has changed on my ipod. When my touch is connected to the computer, occasionally my itunes will recognize it and synch, but then it disconnects itself. I can get it to be recognized as an ipod on my itunes if I hold both the sleep/wake and home buttons until the screen goes black and the apple re-appears where I release the sleep/wake button but continue to hold the menu button in order to get the restore settings, but only gives me the option to restore it to factory settings, which I don't want to do since I will lose everything on my touch. I have read that putting it into SSH would have been helpful, but I can't get into my settings to change it. Is there anything I can possibly do to save my current contents without having to totally reset it?

    This exact same thing happened to me today and I cannot reset either. Don't want to restore to factory as I keep my mileage on my device and will lost it and not get paid. HElp.

  • My iPod said "Can not use iPod until cools down". I let it sit over night and now it wont charge.

    So last night My ipod brought up a "Can not use ipod til it cools down" message. Than I turned it off for the night and It wont charge. Is there something wromg with my iPod?

    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.

    However, I suspect a hardware problem and the Apple store will likely be necessary.

  • I BOUGHT A IPHONE OFF A GUY ON THE STREETS IT WORKED FOR A WEEK AND NOW I THINK IT IS BLOKED WHAT SHUD I DO

    I BOUGHT AN IPHONE 4 OFF A GUY IN THE STREET IT WAS WORKING FOR A WEEK OR TWO AND NOW I CANT MAKE OR RECIEVE CALLS WHAT SHUD I DO. PLZ HELP.

    Did you sign up for a contract with AT&T? I assume so but had to ask.
    And why in the world would you buy a phone from some guy on the street?  Guys on the street are great if you want to buy a rock in a shrinkwrapped box or if you want something illegal or stolen but that's about it.  Think of this problem as tuition.
