i just want to update it so i can get more games. ill go to the app store and i will hit install game and it will say this app requires ios 5 and i cant get my ipod to up date to that(responding to lllaaass's)
Only the 3G and later iPod can go to iOS 5 or later
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1
A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
A 4G to 6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later

I forgot my password to my ipod touch and locked it out. It told me to connect to iTunes and I did. I put it in recoery mode and started the 5 hour download of the restoring process. I tried it many times it always ends up stopping and an error occurs. Now iTunes is telling me I have to put in my password for my ipod before iTunes can use it and recognize it. But my ipod is still telling me to connect it to iTunes and I just want to restore my ipod.
Try Recovery Mode a few more times.
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, 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.
3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times. -
Just restored and updated my ipod and now when I connect it to my computer I get a message saying "this ipod cannot be used because the Apple Mobile Device service is not started" what does this mean?
I'd start with the following document with that one:

I just want to keep CSx updated and continue to use it like I have been.
I'm an individual.. One computer!, no team or bank of computers... Just me..
I don't need a cloud! I don't want a cloud!
I just want to keep CSx updated. and continue to use it like I have been.
Cost me about $600 every other year to keep this updated.
I can afford $600/every other year.
What do I need to do to keep using The Design Premium CSx ??Short answer: You are [or eventually will be] outdated and out of luck.
I've been a master collection user since it's been availaboe, but I've been struggling with this and other questions, and have come to the conclusion that I need to be proactive in looking for alternatives, so when the day comes that CS6 stops working on new hardware, I'll have options.
My biggest concern is that with the current CC model, if a user decides to stop, or can't afford, their subscription fee, thirty days later they loose access to ALL THEIR CREATIVE WORK-- without monthly activation, all the CC software STOPS WORKING!
Moreover, after everyone is on the CC hook, what is to stop Adobe from charging $100 per month, or $300.... As a huge company driven by investors and quarterly profits they will charge whatever the market will bear. Many will be held hostage to the subscription fee, no matter how high it goes, because they won't be able to afford to loose access their creative work. So... going forward the market will probably bear a lot more than $49 per month.
Then, if this wasn't enough risk, there is also the dependence on the web and Adobe's IT infrastructure to keep the software "activated". I know it is probably extremely unlikely, but what if they suffer a cyber-attack like many other large and theoretically "secure" companies? What kind of havoc could an attacker wreak with the creative community if suddenly all our software stopped working? You may laugh, but I just read an article today on cNet Security about how Twitter's domain registration was hacked by SEA-- at least for a brief time, SEA was the admin for the Twitter domain records.
Since hearing Adobe's plans, I realised that over the years, with the exception of 3D, I've gravitated to Adobe for all my creative work-- they really do make great software. Even though this represents a huge investment in time and "learning curve", I've started to seriously evaluate alternatives. When the day comes that CS6 is no longer working on new hardware, I hopefully will already be using other brands.
My current thinking: If Apple makes FCP 11 a professional tool again, that would be my first choice for video. If they don't, I've been taking a hard look at Sony Vegas-- or there is always Avid. For compositing, while I really know and love After Effects, I have a copy of Eyeon's Digital Fusion that came free with Lightwave3D that I've never even installed. It is now out of the closet and sitting on my desk, waiting until I have a few minutes to install it to give it a try. For photo editing and vector graphics, I've been looking at the Corel suite-- I haven't used Corel in years, as it always seemed "clunky" compared to Illustrator, but it is a viable alternative, and used and loved by many. Photoshop is an industry standard and I've used it for fifteen years, but I also have both Gimp and Cinepaint on Mac, and use them frequently already. They aren't as capable or as slick as Photoshop, but they do everything I need, so photo editing is covered. As far as web tools, Dreamweaver is nice, but web development can be done with any editor. Flash (and all browser plugin technology) is being supplanted by HTML5 and Javascript, so loosing Flash, going forward, is no great loss. I haven't used it in over a year anyway, but f I really need 2D animation there is always (gasp) Silverlight, and maybe also other tools that I'm currently unaware of. InDesign isn't a concern for me as I almost never do print.
So bottom line for me: If Adobe works out a compromise where the software keeps working even if the subscription lapses, then it would be a different ballgame for me. I'd even be willing to agree to pay two or three year contract before the perpetual license kicked in. However, as it stands, the CC subscription (and potentially vanishing software) represents a level of trust in Adobe that I'm not prepared to give. -
How do I get the 5.7 LR update? Every time I click on the download button, the splash screen trying to sell me the cloud stuff pops up. I don't want to buy anything, I just want to download the update. Anyone know how?

HT201302 I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop, So i just want to restore the photos
I have iphone 5 and itunes on my windows laptop. Recently i back-uped my iphone and started using my iphone as a new one. But all the photos were in the back-up. So i just want to restore the photos. Since my laptop is windows, i cant get them by iphotos.
I was thinking that if i can sync just the photos to my iphone from by back-up, i can get the photos from iphone by transfering the files to my laptop.But i couldnt figure out how to sync just the "photos" of the whole back-up.
Do you have a better idea for getting the pics from the back-up? If not, can you help me by the option i suggested?
<Edited by Host>Hello SenaAkcicek,
If you want to restore data from a backup to your iPhone, you will need to restore the full backup, as you cannot select what items to be restored to an iPhone.

if i restore and update my ipod does that mean my pictures in the ipod would be deleted?

I just want to know when the new ipod touch 5th generation will come out
i just want to know when the new ipod touch 5th generation will come out
Apple has not announced any new iPod models. When they do, we'll all find out at the same time, I would guess, since the announcement will be prominent on every Apple-related web site and will probalby be posted in multiple threads in these forums.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.
