I-Pod Touch, 3.0 Software, Various Issues

I have a second generation I-Pod Touch. Got my first 12-7-08 but the battery died so I used my warrenty to get a replacement. That worked out fine.
Couple of days ago I paid the $9.95 for the 3.0 Software. Its ok. I don't have any problems with it except it killed 1 of my apps which is currently working on a 3.0 compatible upgrate so thats no big deal.
I've noticed the weaker wifi signal. I read another post on here about setting your router to B and G. I set it to G only. That took care of it, however yes it still is a little slower then before. But not slow enough to keep it from functioning in the way I need it to. Anyways, whoever posted that info, thank you. That helped another problem.
My biggest issue is a grey (black when in the settings function line that suddenly appeared the other day on the bottom half of the screen. I don't know what caused this even though I have done a lot of internet research and other people have had these problems. I did leave it on all day docked with the screen on (would that cause the problem)
The line isn't that noticeable but the fact that its there irritates me.
I called Apple Support and they wanted me to send it in and pay $30 for shipping which is another irritating thing. They also recommended me to an Apple Store. I don't live near one. So now I'm waiting for another FED-EX box.
Is there anyway to get rid of these lines and does anybody know what the cause of it is? I want to avoid having to go thru this replacement process again. Its a pain and the Fed-Ex truck (which requires you to sign for everything) always arrives when I'm asleep.
Thanks

Instead of limping along, take some action to fix your iPod, please.
Obviously, before posting, I checked and applied all the resets and restores as descibed in Appendix A of the iPod touch user guide.
WiFi is still erratic and the bottom of the iPod (the battery?) is still going hot.
I'd greatly appreciate some positive ideas and help.
I'm waiting for OS 3.1 now.

HUGE issues with I Pod Touch and new software

Christmas Day I opened I tunes to load some new CD's for my hubby and I. It said I needed the new I Tunes, so I downloaded it. Procedeed to get CD's loaded and plugged in hubby's I pod (it's about 6 years old and wheel style) it synced and was done in no time. I then plugged in my 3 year old I pod Touch, the system said it too needed an update, so I procedeeded with the IPod update. Towards the end, it said it was unable to complete the update (error 1602 and again later error 1604). It then locked up the Ipod and wiped it out. I have spent 2 days doing ALL the various steps I can find ANYWHERE to fix the error. The forums ALL say it's my computer and USB issues. I have done ALL the steps numerous times to "repair" the issue with NO luck it still says error 37 when I try to install the USB driver ( the port is an "enhanced" 2.0 port). I took the same cord and I pod downstairs to my daughters comuter that is running a version of Itunes 10.5.1 I think, It restored my I pod to the factory settings and it now turns on and has all the information to start to configure it again. So, took it BACK to my computer thinking that now the restore/update is complete that my computer should "see" the I pod again. NOPE! It still has the SAME problem. I have tried to install an older version of Itunes and it will not let me as the library has been "created by a newer version of I tunes". I am NOT a computer person at all and all the items I've tried have NOT worked. It is obviously NOT my comupter having USB issues as my daughters much older computer not only found the Ipod, but was able to restore/update it. I HAS to be the new ITunes 11.1 version. I have over 2500 songs on my I pod and depend on it at work as I have no radio reception.
I am at my wits end and very angry.
I run Windows XP on an older computer, but as I mentioned, my daughters older version of I tunes not only found the I pod, but restored it and updated the software. I want MY Library back on MY I pod so I need to use MY computer.
Any SIMPLE easy to follow ideas to fix this once and for all would be greatly appreciated. I have done all the USB steps and uninstalled/reinstalled and did the recovery mode and all those steps so many times. It still won't read the "driver" on the I Pod touch.
Thanks for any help.

I guess it's 4th Generation, I have no idea, it's a 32G and I've had it 3 years now.
Her computer runs Windows XP as well. It's an even older computer, the ONLY difference is that I did NOT update ITunes to her computer. Problem is, MY library is on MY computer.
I know it's an issue with I Tunes itself based on the fact my husbands older I pod will sync just fine to our library after th new I Tunes updates. It is JUST my Ipod touch.
I cannot go back to an older version of Itunes either because the library was "created in a newer version"

I-pod touch, 4.3 software, pairing ipod with wireless keyboard: PIN?

following instructions to pair my i-Pod touch with my i-mac wireless keyboard, after the i-Pod tells me that the keyboard is discovered and i click on continue, then a keyboard appears on the i-pod and asks me to enter the PIN for the keyboard. I can't find a PIN anywhere for the keyboard. pairing with the i-mac was done at the factory and no PIN or PasssKey can be found. How do i type in a PIN or Passkey if I have no way of knowing what it is? I've looked through the articles in support but none seem to tell me how to find the passkey. Does anybody know how I can get it or another way to get the keyboard paired with my i-pod? Thanks for any help!

Thanks for your reply. It led me to the answer. My keyboard is a 2003 keyboard even though it came with my i-mac in late 06. It is the 4 battery white keyboard which according to the article you linked me to is not compatible with pairing with the i-pod. Unfortunately , I accidentally marked this question as answered in the only other reply I received. So sorry that you will not get credit for it but I do thank you for taking the time to help me.

I Pod touch Will not Update Software

HI, I got an I Pod Touch Model MC540LL (Dont know what Generation it is), Ive tried several times to update software from 4.3.3 to the new 5.0.1? Is that possible? When I try updating using Itunes, the downloading stops and tells me (server reset) I am trying to restore settings to my I Pod because I lost my Passcode for the restriction function (the Restriction function is stuck on (ON)). I am unable to do this with out updating software. Is there any way to restore my I Pod without updating software?

Yours is a iPod Touch 4th generation with 8 GB storage. Yes, it's possible to update to 5.0.1. Do you have the latest iTunes 10.5.2? Update iTunes and do a restore.

How can I solve that my I Pod Touch 4th gen. disconnects when I extract the IOS6 software?

Hi, when i connect my I Pod Touch 4th gen. to I Tunes (for Windows XP) to extract the IOS6 Software to the I Pod it disconnects.
How can I solve that the I Pod always disconnects when i want to extract the Software
,Thanks

- Reboot the computer and delete the download and try again. The update file is located here:
IPSW file location for Mac and Windows
- Next would be to :
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
and then try again.
The restore/update on another computer.

Tried to update the software on my i pod touch and now it does not work at all and wont restore either

tried to update software on i pod touch but would not work and now ,wont restore back to factory setting or anything

Without more information all I can suggest is:
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.

I just updated the software in my I-Pod Touch. How do I get my music

I just updated the softwars on my I-Pod touch. I lost all my music (3,000 songs). NONE of this music was downloaded from I-Tunes.

How do I get it back onto my I-Pod Touch?
And all of my downloaded app are in I-Tunes, but they are no longer on my I-Pod. How do I get those back?

Can anyone help me!!! i have an i pod touch and the 4 digit passcode has been forgotten. i have tried a number of times to restore the factory settings on i tunes and have put the i pod into recovery mode, but attempts keep timing out

my son has forgotten his 4 digit pass code for hios i pod touch. i have been instructed to disable it and connect to i tunes to restore factory settings. when I do this the download time is anything up to 20 hours and it keeps timing out. it is now saying that i tunes cannot connect to the i pod because it is locked with a passcode and saying that i must enter the passcode - can anyone help?

- To get around the passcode issue, place the iPod in recovery mode. For how to see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- If you are getting a network timeout error during the restore, disable the computer's security software during the restore.

HT1414 I keep trying to restore my i pod touch and am getting nowhere I have checked usb port

Hi i am trying to update my i pod touch but it had error 1602 I followed all the instructions given but now it is stuck in recovery mode.... any suggestions?!

Error 1604
This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, using a different dock connector to USB cable, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections. If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode,put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for the error.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while the device remains connected.
The device should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.
Error 1600, 1601, 1602
Follow the steps listed above for Error 1604. This error may also be resolved by disabling, deactivating, or uninstalling third-party security, antivirus, and firewall software. See steps in this article for details on troubleshooting security software.
Did you try on another computer and cable like the troubleshooting said to try last?

HT201210 When trying to restore an i pod touch - i receive an error after the restore has started

When trying to restore an i pod touch - I recieve an unknown error (1611). We have retried the process a few times with the same result.

Error 1611
This error typically occur when security software interferes with the restore and update process. FollowTroubleshooting security software issues to resolve this issue. In rare cases, this error may be a hardware issue. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.
The "device may need service" means a hardware problem. in that case make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
