IPad vs. iPod Touch: differences? help me choose
What are the biggest differences between an iPad and iPod touch, other than the size obviously? I'm torn between which one to get. Is there anything the iPad can do which the Touch can't, or vice versa?
It is a bit of a dilemma. The ipad's larger screen means that it can have apps that do things that you wouldn't necessarily want to do on the small screen of the ipod (I have an app that lets me keep my sheet music on the ipad as a gig book, for example), but there is the problem that it's a lot more to lug around. On the other hand, the camera in the ipod is nice to have, at least for video (stills are pretty mingy, compared to the camera in the iphone).
If you're young, with great eyesight, the ipod is a lot handier to keep with you all the time, but it sure is nice to have the larger screen of the ipad. Really, this is something you'll have to decide for yourself.

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch
A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.
You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync". -
Some of my apps on both my iPad and iPod Touch no longer have sound. Others still do. I checked general settings. Any other ideas of how to fix this?
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I purchased an ipod touch 5 off ebay and want to register it so that I can get some of the iWork Apps for free but my ipod is already registered onto the previous owners Apple ID HELP!!
Was the iPod completrely erased
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
and setup with your ID?
What happens when you try to purchase the apps?
Was the iPod originally purchased/actiovated on or after Sept 1st?
GarageBand is free on the App Store for all iOS 7 compatible devices; additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated on or after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

If I buy a refurbished iPad (or iPod touch), will I get the iWork apps free?
Will I get the iWork and iLife apps for free if I buy a refurbished iPad (or iPod touch)?
As above, you will get the apps for free.
I strongly suggest that you buy your refurb ipad directly from the Apple online refurb store. We bought two last Summer - 2012. They have been great.
We haven't bought itouches refurbed, so not on top of their deals.
All refurbed ipads come with a brand new front and back cover, a brand new battery and a full one year warranty, including the 90 days of phone support. They come in a box and include the charger, just like a brand new ipad. It just says refurbished near the bottom of he box. If you buy from other retailers, even authorized resellers, their own rules apply and they will not have been refurbished by Apple. Also, in most cases, you only get the remainder of the warranty that the original owner did not use.
The great thing is you might consider increasing your gb space for still less than the cost of a new one. They are a bargain right now.
If you decide on what you want, check the certified refurb store and order it fast. Because they are on the site when available, they can come and go. Some are back the same day and some can take weeks. Shipping is fast and free in the USA.
After the intro of the ipad Air, the ipad 4 refurbed price came down another $30.00. I don't expect that to change anytime soon.
Whatever you decide to buy, enjoy.
Hope this helps. -
Itunes cant read my ipod touch, please help!
I've had this problem a LOOT and i looked into it on apple support, tried calling, i even took it into the store and they couldn't help me any more than resetting my firmware to factory settings. I've even reset it myself a few times and this is an ipod touch 4th gen IOS 6. Please help due to the fact that it's tiring to keep resetting to factory settings! i plugged it in to make a backup and now i can't because of this. I have lots of music and movies so Pleaaase help.
If the Apple Mobile Device driver is not the problem or you need more help see:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If you come back with the wording of the error mesage we can probably provide more specific recommendations. -
Why doesn't my password work on my iPod Touch? Help!
I always used my iPod touch. I probably havent touched it in a month or so though. I know my password because I was using it earlier today. When I tried to hook up my iPod to iTunes, a window came up that said I needed to enter the password on my iPod before it could sync to iTunes. I entered the password a few times before my iPod said it was disabled and I needed to connect it to iTunes before I could try my password again. I tired it again, and the "Wrong Password" message just kept coming up on my iPod. Did my iPod's password change automatically? Is there a different password when I need to sync to iTunes? Help?!
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to reset the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync 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. -

Tried the below and still no good - any suggestions
iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
Symptoms
In rare instances, the setting to turn on Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch may appear grayed out or dim. You may see the following when you tap Settings > Wi-Fi.
If this occurs, you can't turn Wi-Fi on, and when you try to turn Wi-Fi on, your device won't respond. If you're using iOS 7, Wi-Fi may appear to turn on and off in Control Center, but Wi-Fi won't respond.
Resolution
Follow these steps to resolve the issue:
Restart your iOS device.
Make sure that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
Make sure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
If you still can't turn Wi-Fi on, please contact Apple for support and service options. If you can turn Wi-Fi on but are experiencing other issues with Wi-Fi, please see these steps.
Last Modified: Dec 9, 2013Your device has a hardware failure and only replacement or repair will fix it. Take it to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized service provider.

I am planning a long vacation and taking my laptop but it is my home computer that my new ipad and ipod touch are synced too. I know i can backup to the cloud over wifi but how can i do things like delete photo albums instead of having to manually delete pictures one by one on the Ipad. Is there any way also to add my pictures to the ipad other than through email. i am assuming that i can't just install itunes on the laptop and sync to that. I have been told that i always have to sync to my original synced home computer for that.

I need to lock the iPad or Itouch down so only one application is running or available to start. One, for ease of use by a 3 year old and two, in order to make the use of the iPad as an AAC device allowable in a classroom setting. There is concern that the other games, etc will be a distraction.
Thank-you!You can enable Restrictions, also known as Parental Controls, on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to prevent access to specific features. This article provides an overview of the types of Restrictions that are available, as well as how to enable or disable Restrictions on your device.

I've downloaded a digital booklet to my computer. How do I transfer it to my Ipad or Ipod touch.
From Get info, change the media kind to Book, or right-click and use Show in Windows Explorer, press CTRL+C to copy, browse to the Automatically Add to iTunes folder in your media folder and press CTRL+V to paste, then edit the properties of the version added to the Books section of the library. Once there you can view it with the iBooks app on the device.
