If you're using a fourth generation or earlier iPod touch, click here and download the software.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and a PowerPC Mac, buy a newer computer.

    Ok actually my mistake it says "an error occurred during activation. try again" I spoke with apple tech support right now and she mentioned they are having trouble with there servers.  Do you by any chance know what the restrictions area means? Should that be activated or deactivated, does that make a difference?

  • How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

    I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

  • IPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. (CAN'T DOWNLOAD VERSION 10.6.3!)

    After downloading the new IOS 6 update for my iphone 4, my phone will not connect to my itunes on my laptop and a message pops up and states: "The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes".  I can't find the 10.6.3 itunes anywhere to download and I cannot download the 10.7 version because my Mac is the 10.5.8 version.  What can I do?  I do not want to pay for an update for my computer- I wish I had never updated my phone in the first place so I wouldn't have this problem.

    I'm having a similar problem. Perhaps more complex. I just downloaded the 10.6.3 and it didn't solve the problem for my iPhone 5.
    I have the new iPhone 5 and iTunes is asking for iTunes 7.0 in order to recognize the phone. I tried to download iTunes 7.0 but an error comes up stating that I need the 10.6.8. Well I tried to download the 10.6.8 and an error message came up saying that I need minimum of 10.6. So now I'm confused....
    These are the error messages in order.
    1. The iPhone “iPhone” cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes.
    2. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or higher.
    3. This update requires Mac OS X version 10.6.
    Will I have to pay for the 10.6?
    Thanks so much in advance.

  • I tried to download from the app store.  It will not download.  It shows up under "other purchases" but the action button is blank.  I have tried to re-download it and it won't let me do that either.  Any suggestions?

    Mavericks will not download from the app store.  It shows up under "other purchases" but the action button is grey and will not allow me to install, uninstall or redownload.  I meet the system requirements but nothing is working.  Any help would be appreciated!

    There is nothing wrong with my iTunes, is more of the App store that I am concerned about. And I've tried the "Authorise this computer" yes it does download when using iTunes, but no luck with App Store. And, yes I am logged onto iTunes when doing purchases.
    I find this really fustrating because the App store works fine on my ipod but once it comes to my macbook, it does not download. A few seconds later after I click on an app to download, the pop up message notifies me that the purchase cannot be downloaded.
    Anyways, thanks for your suggestion. 

  • I downloaded a book through iBooks on my iPad and it won't allow me to open in. Any suggestions?

    I downloaded a book through iBooks on my iPad and it's not allowing me to view it, any suggestions.

    If the book won't open then try deleting it from the bookshelf and re-download it via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app and see if you can open that.

  • How do you update apps that where purchased using different iTunes accounts?  I get a cannot connect to iTunes message and it won't accept the password even after you change it.

    Both my iPad and iPhone have the same problem.  I have purchased apps with three different accounts. I understand I will need to use the original acct to do the update but every time it asks for the password I put it in and get a message that I cannot connect to iTunes store. I have even had the password reset and it still will not connect on the upgrade.  But I can sign in with that account and purchase new apps i am loading a free one now just to make sure. So what is that about?  Please do not tell me I have to also use the original password!  We have reset them so many times that there is no way to remember the original one used at time of purchase a year and 1/2 ago.  Please help. I have also upgraded to the iCloud thinking this would solve the problem but it still exists.

    I use only one Apple ID and only one ID. I did have to change the password at one point but I had no issues at all with updating apps after I changed the password.
    If you can download new apps with the ID that you changed the password for, I would think that you will be able to update apps associated with that ID as well.
    Did you try restarting the iPad after signing out of the one account and then sign in to the other account/accounts?

  • How do I accept/purchase/download ilife programs after restoring Lion on a new Macbook Air using a new apple ID. App store will not let me do anything but accept; and it won't accept the apps with the new apple id

    I wanted to restore my new Macbook Air (over the web).. using a new apple ID instead of the old one I originally used when I bought the computer from the apple store a month ago.  By doing that, everything worked, but the iLife programs that originally came with it shows in the app store as "ACCEPT".  When I try to accept them... it says they are assigned to another ID.. you must repurchase them for this ID.
    I have no problem if I have to repurchase.  I just can't find anywhere to do that.  No matter what I do, I can only "ACCEPT".. which as I said earlier - don't work.
    Thanks for any help

  • HT4106 How do I use a midi keyboard on GarageBand with my iPad? When I try it says the device cannot be used as it requires too much power.  However, I have given the midi it's own power source.

    How do I use a midi keyboard as an input device on garageband? Its an oxygen 61 board.  I'm using an iPad camera connection kit and a separate power source for the midi but each time it says it cannot use the midi as it requires too much power. 

    I have the same problem with my iPad and 61. Sometimes it says device not supported and sometimes it rants about power - any solutions anyone ?

  • What a nightmare, Serial Number is not being accepted. try the numbers on the discs, Yes I legally bought and own it,  and it won't accept it.

    Final Cut Studio, I just got a new imac and transfered contents from prior computer. And Final Cut Studio opens to the licesning window, and it won't accept the SN. It was workign on prior computer fine.  But it will not accept the upgrade, or orginal SN.  What is a person to do? How can a consumer use the software that is blocked that they legally paid for because it is not recogining the SN, yes it's spelled correctly and it's not a zero versus an "0". 

    Thanks, but the conditions on that page are very unrealstic. The Customer as to find a reciept from 3 years ago? With Purchase Date and invoice, heck have you been to apple store, oh we can just email the receipt to you. Well how do you search that years later, Not an option! So that doesn't work.
    Apple Store onlne, Does not list software past 18months on their website. How inconvenient.  So that option is null too.  I did register it so I will try and call the Apple Sales Support tomorrow, as they are not open currently.  A lot of work to get a product to work that is legally purchased. This is why piracy so attractive.   Because when You play by the rules and buy software and many many hoops to jump through. We shall see but I am sure the phone number will ask, "oh did you buy some apple support for this?" well we can't help you unless you pay. 
    The solution is to have the software be able to be installed with valid software, and/or have an online access that shows your SN, and allows you to cancel or regenerate a code.
    Thanks,
    Jason
