Can I play iphone apps on my ipod touch ? how can i download iphone  4 software o my ipod touch? cheers

I'm assuming you have a 1st generation iPod Touch. You can download the IOS 3 update here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2052
The latest for that model is 3.1.3 so any app requiring firmware later than that won't work

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

    An iPod touch is an iOS device.
    Why not contact the developer of the app?

    I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
    When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
    I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
    I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
    nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.

    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.
    - Try on another computer          
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My ipod will not sync new apps or music

    my son's ipod will not sync new apps or music.
    it is up to date, everything works fine that is on it
    i know my solution is to restore the ipod but in doing so he would lose his tap zoo (which would be devastating)
    so how do i get this ipod to sync without

    It sounds like you previously synced to a different computer.  Yo can only synce to one computer/iTunes Libray but you can manage music among different computer.  See:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    If you want to permanently change syncing computers best would be to move the backup file from your old computer and move it to the new computer and then restore your iPod from that backup.  For the location of the backup file see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: About backups
    If you do not have the backup you will have to restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

    I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen.  I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me. 

    You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
    If on your iPod now:
    Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
    You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

  • 3rd generation Ipod Touch, after charging battery the screen now show to connect to itunes, will not do anything, anyone seen this or can help?

    Ipod touch 3rd generatio, after charging I turned on the device and it show to connect to itunes and is frozen will do nothing, any suggestins what might be wrong with this devise?

    I've had a similar problem with my older 3rd gen ipod touch. It could be the hardware. Try holding down the home button and on button at the same time for a couple of seconds or connect it to itunes for a bit. I also leave it alone for a while then it seems to unfreeze itself. Are you saying it's still frozen after you connect it to iTunes?

  • I have a Macbook with Tiger 10.4.1 and I am thinking of buying an Ipad .  Can I plug in my Ipod touch to my Ipad to transfer my music as I understand Tiger will not sync with Ipad

    I have also been told about Itunes Match but again I dont think this will work with Tiger

    You can't connect an iPod to an iPad to transfer content between the two - the most that you might be able to do is to copy photos from an iPod Touch to the iPad via the camera connection kit, but you can't tramsfer music. The minimum specs for syncing from a Mac is OS X 10.5.8
    The minimum requirements for iTunes Match for a Mac are (from here) :
    Mac OS X v10.6.8 or later
    Windows Vista or later
    iTunes 10.5.1 or later
    iOS 5 or later on iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2

  • I am trying to reset my 4th generation ipod touch via itunes (as I cannot remember parental controls code). In itunes it does a download but then says the software was corrupted during download. Itunes is up to date. Operating system is vista. Any ideas?

    I have given my 4th generation ipod touch to my husband and he wants to download some in app purchases, so I am trying to reset it via itunes. I dont remember setting parental controls but I must have at some point, maybe when I lent it to the kids. But I cannot remember the password and nothing I have tried works. So I have backed the ipod up and am trying to reset it but after speding 10 minutes doing a download I get a message that says:
    "The softwaar for the iPod was corrupted during download. Disconnect and reconnect, then try again. Make sure your network settings are correct and your network connection is active, or try again later"
    I have tried many times. All the settings are correct, and the network seems to be working fine in all respects.
    Any advice very much appreciated.
    Thank you
    UPDATE - decided to try one more time after trying for hours and it has worked! I now suspect it may have been because my son was playing an online game. Though we have plenty of bandwidth. But in case, I guess it could be a bandwidth problem.

    A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (or if you forgot your passcode)
    iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    iOS- Understanding passcodes
         If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
         below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
         simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
         same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
    If you need to restore your device or if you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
         1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to
             update.
         2. Connect your device to your computer.
         3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
         4. Select the Summary tab.
         5. Select the Restore option.
         6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
             option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
             necessary to create another.
         7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
             you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
         8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
             logo while starting up:
               After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
              to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
              iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
              you see "iPhone is activated."
         9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup.
    If you can not restore your device then you will need to go to recovery mode.
    Placing your device into recovery mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
         1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the other end
             of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
         2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the
             red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
              If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release the Sleep/Wake
              and Home buttons.
         3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device.
             The device should turn on. Note: If you see the screen pictured below, let the device
             charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then
             start with step 2 again.
         4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
             When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
         5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
         6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • IPod Touch iOS 4.2.1, Mac OS 10.6.8. ICal will not sync after a restore of iPod Touch. What's up?

    iPod Touch (iOS 4.2.1) second generation; Mac (OS 10.6.8). After a restore, the iCal no longer syncs, Contacts do not sync, etc. What gives?

    Greetings,
    Sounds like something is wrong with the sync history.
    Troubleshooting:
    1.) Backup all your data:
    Backup your iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
    Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
    Backup your calendars on MobileMe.
    Follow http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4226
    Go to "backing up data" and then "Backing up from me.com/calendar"
    2.) Reset the computer's sync services and then restart the computer: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
    3.) Plug in the iPhone and attempt a sync.
    If that does not resolve the issue, where is the information "good", on the iPod Touch or the computer and are you using MobileMe to sync or do you just plug in your usb cable.
    Hope that helps.
