Imessage for ipod touch ios 5: message send failure
My ipod touch (4th generation) which runs on ios 5 sometimes send messages but most of the time i receive a message send failure notice.
I have tried changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, resetting my network settings, restarting the phone, restarting imessage, turning off and turning on wifi.
It will work for maybe 10 minutes and then it will stop working and the cycle will repeat itself.
I have no idea what to do if you have any clue please help me, I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
All I can suggest is:

Skype for ipod touch ios 4.2.1 dowlouad
skype for ipod touch ios 4.2.1 dowlouad
The iTunes app store now allows download of the last working vesrion of skype for your OS.
Please go to iTunes store FROM YOUR DEVICE and try to download skype - it will tell you that your OS is not compatible with the current version of skype and will ask you to allow download of the last compatible skype version - you allow that and you will have a skype version which works for your iPod touch.
Hope this help -
Everytime i try and send a message to my boyfriend through imessage on my ipad, it says "Message send failure" but all of the messages are coming in through my email, i hate texting my boyfriend through my email. So can someone help me, please.
"iMessage allows users to send texts, photos, videos, contact information, and group messages over Wi-Fi or 3G to other iOS 5 users, thus providing an alternative to standard SMS messaging for all users with devices running iOS 5."
This is what it is and what it does. You both have to have iOS 5 installed on your supported device. If that's not what your setup is, then that's your answer. -

What ebook reader can I use for ipod touch ios 5.1
Hi,
My ten year old grandson has an apple ipod touch 3rd generation (32gb) that he plays on and I would like to install an ereader app to it but every app I've found so far needs an ios of 6 or greater and his is 5.1. What happened in the year or so that he cannot use this thing. Do we have to fork out 2 to 300 bills each year just to keep up with apps? I'm retired, tired and just plain to old to find another job this late in life. If anyone knows of a site I can download an ereader I would heartily appreciate it. Thank you.+Which iPod Touch version do you have ?

Does the new update for ipod touch ( ios 6.1.6 ) restore your device?
There was a software update that came out a few days ago. A while back I updated my software ( a few month back ) and it restored my ipod, I had 89 apps ( 10 i paid for ) just a few pics and 127 songs - some i paid for.
So I had to pay for it allllllll again. I don't want to make the same mistake twice.
Could Someone Give Me Any Advice?
I know you can back it up to itunes or icloud and that.... but it still restores it!
If this helps:
Ipod 4gen 8GB ( Don't ask how i had 89 apps..... i looked on my settings )
I'm not sure if some Ipod's restore and some not but Just thought I'd give you the info above.
I don't want anything to do with restoring it!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'm Just asking if anyone has done it and if there's has restored ----------------------------------------------------------------

I do not understand why you had top pay again previous for iTunes purchases
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Some countries limit what yo can redownload without having to pay again.
Transfer iTunes purchases to you computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
Make a backup of your iPod too
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
Note that the iTunes backup does not include any synced media like apps and music.
The iCloud backup only includes iTunes purchases. -
After 4 hours I am getting ready to throw my Acer out the window. I have tried everything I can possible think of. Initially couldn't sync ,y ipod but after following advice managed this. Removed all itunes components on system but the above message continues to pop up on installling. Any advice would be very much appreciated.
TIAThat one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
what do i do after downloading iOS 3.1 software and "There was a problem downloading iOS 3.1.1 software update for ipod touch. an unknown error occurred (8288). Please check that the connection to the network is active and try again." comes up?
Hello, I hope by now you have resolved the upgrade issue, but if not, here is what I ended up having to do:
“SUCCESS!!! I took my iPod to a friend who is a computer programmer/genius. He turned off his wireless, hooked the ethernet cable directly into his computer, and the download went through without a hitch. YAY!”
Here is my original post explaining what I had already tried:
“Hi all,
I got an iPod Touch 1st gen for my youngest son for Christmas as a starter. It has the 2.1.2 ios on it, but after I paid for the upgrade to 3.1.1, I keep getting an error message (8288) saying there was a problem with the network connection. I have called customer service, and they suggested I try on a different computer, and if that didn't work, try connecting to a different network, and then trying the update. None of this has worked. It seems that tech support is clueless with this issue.
I have installed and unistalled iTunes 10.5, 10.3, 10.4, and now I am back with 10.5. I have tried looking up the issue from several search engines but no one seems to have a universal solution and I have tried several.
I really want to have this thing updated for himw hwne he opens it, but I am starting to worry that my purchase was a bust. I know this is the oldest version, but I don't want to buy a newer, more expensive iPod and him still not be mature enough to really take care of it. As I said, this one is a starter.
Can anyone help? Please?!
Thank you!!!
P.S. We have a PC, with Windows XP Home.”
Now, there seem to be a lot of different ways to solve the 8288 error, none of which are universal. Best of luck getting yours upgraded!

P.S. The post by Sparkhi is a link to his blog going into a long story about how he wanted Apple to pay him for “solving” the issue….the one that apparently has been solved by multiple solutions. I’m not trying to bash, it just bothers me that he put up this whole story and finally, at the very end of his blog post, posts his solution. -

IOS 5.0 update for iPod touch: restore from backup?
I downloaded the iOS 5.0 for iPod touch and everything got backed up beforehand. Apparently my backups are encrypted and a password is needed to use a backup and restore everything back. I don't know what that password is! Can anyone help?
If you don't know the password, you'll have to set it up "as new device" and start all over again without using the backup. If you did not encrypt your backup and this somehow happened after the update, try to put in one of the password you use on your device, for example the screen lock password or your iTunes account code.
There have been cases in the forum, where users were able to unlock the backup by trying this method, after their backup got encrypted during the update process for an unknown reason.

Just bought new iPod touch. When I connect to computer to sync it tells me "iTunes could not connect to this iPod touch. Could not send a message to device." Not sure if it is b/c of an older version of iTunes but connecting via wifi sync unacceptable
What version of iTunes is on the computer? You need at least 11.4.

Went to update apps on ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. I did a factory reset and now I can't get most of my apps back & can't download version 5.0 which I need to get back some of my apps. I paid for some of these. I've tried my backup and it didn't put them back on.
If your iPod Touch is too old for iOS 5 or later... there is not much you can do.
When/if you get a later model iDevice you will be able to Download Past Purchases using the Original ID that made those Purchases. (providing they are still supported by the Developer)
See Here > Download Past Purchases
