IPod Touch 2.0 location problem...

Downloaded 2.0 and loving it. Discovered one problem I cannot figure out how to fix. I have searched everywhere for an answer, but haven't seen this yet.
I have had a few new apps ask if they can use my current location. When I answer yes to them, it says my current location is Topeka Kansas. My location is in California. Any idea how I fix this?
The apps that it is causing problems with is yelp, showtimes, AOL radio (when it finds local stations...it's in Kansas), etc.

Just keep in mind that location service will ONLY work if you happen to be near one or more Access Points that are in the database. Very few non-commercial access points have been entered to date, so don't expect yours to work unless you happed to live right on top of a WiFi hot spot.
Skyhook claims to have millions of access points in their database all of which are located by teams of drivers they send out with special equipment in thier cars (you too can become a Skyhook driver! http://www.skyhookwireless.com/careers/drivers.php). Commercial, residential, doesn't matter - if the access point's signal can be "seen" from a vehicle driving by, it'll get into the database.

My daughter's older Ipod Touch is having a problem with images becoming pixilated when taken from an e-mail and placed into her camera roll. ( She wants to put on Instagram ) Any help?

I think that may be a consequence of the email provider she is using. Some services (AOL is one example) inspect and modify email attachments, particularly photos, resulting in reduced resolution compared to the email that was sent.
The iPod does not do this. The resolution of the picture in the email she receives will be identical to what is imported.

I have a ipad2, ipad3, and iPod touch that had location service working and now none of them can use location service. I have tried so many recommended tweaks but none have helped. So frustrating! Can anyone help ?

Sounds like it's hardware issue. The iPhone warranty is based in the original country of purchase. Since it was bought in Korea you will need to ship the phone to someone you know in Korea to be taken in and then they will have to ship it back to you. The cost of shipping will be at your expense.

I have a 4g ipod touch with tons of problems. So i was wondering if i could get it replaced at my local Apple store. But its out of warranty. How much will it cost?

I have a 4g ipod touch with tons of problems.
The home button no longer responds and when it does it takes at least 10 minutes of repeatedly clicking it.
When my ipod turns off it takes hours to a day for it to turn back on.
Should i replace it, and if so, how much will that cost?
Is it repairable?

I do have service and repair coverage! Thank you for that link
Does that mean I can replace it for no cost or that its just for repair service?

IPod touch 3rd gen artwork problem

Hi I have an iPod touch 3rd gen (early 2010) and it has worked perfectly with just one minor nuisance - album artwork.
I am able to sync every single album artwork that I've assigned to each song from iTunes to my iPod touch, and they do show up properly when I'm playing the song. However, some album artwork won't show up in the "Unlock" screen even though I'm playing the song at the moment.
This problem cannot be solved by deleting and resyncing the songs in concern. Only by updating the iOS firmware (which, as we're well aware, only takes place once in a blue moon) would the songs whose album artwork won't show up in the "Unlock" screen show up again.
The problem is very annoying because if I accidentally remove some older songs from my iPod touch and wish to sync them back again, their album artwork would no longer show up on the "Unlock" screen, assuming that these songs are "new" (as in post-major iOS firmware update).
I hope the above is descriptive enough of the issue. Can anyone kindly point out what's happening, or hopefully redirect me to a similar thread where this problem has also been encountered and solved?
Thank you very much for your kind attention!

Did you check for software updates for your ipod or are you on the latest version possible?
In case the firmware file (*.ipsw) on your computer is damaged, try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode.

My 4th Gen iPod Touch has my location wrong

My 4th Gen iPod Touch that runs iOS 5, has my location way wrong.
On the weather app, maps app, other apps, and icloud it shows my location is some house in Columbia, SC.
The problem is, is I don't live anywhere near Columbia,SC! I live in Jacksonville,FL! So my question is, is why is my iPod doing this, and how can I fix it?

The iPod get its location from where the Apple database thinks your router is located. (Was your router ever in Columbia SC?). In any case, sometimes Apple 's database is incorrect. There is nothing you can do about it. Apple should eventually correct it.

IPod Touch 5th Generation Location Services arrow stays on

My iPod Touch 5th Gen on ios 6.1.3 wont turn the gps location services arrow off. i always leaves location services on, but last week i noticed it was still on after i went to the notification center to post to facebook. when i turn the service off it goes away, but i likle to leave it on. I also, dont want to have to do any type of restore if possible. I have an imessage, facetime, and bluetooth debugging option in system that i installed, but that was a month before this started happening.

IPod touch 4g battery draw problem!

Hello everyone!
I have some problems with my batter of my iPod touch 4G. Well, when i am listening to music it is really ok, but really! But when i connect to wi-fi go to facebook battery drain very fast maybe about 5% in 10minutes. That is the same thing with playing the games. When i am playing for example angry birds my battery also drains fast. Playing 30 minutes it will drain for about 15-20%. I dont get it, listening music is fine, wi-fi and games O_O.
Anyone have some solutions , btw i turned of location services and i turn off wi-fi when i am not using it. Also brigthness is on 50% with auto brightness on.
I closed all notifications except weather. Also i dont use mail, never. I dont know what is happening :S!! I do full cycle charge everytime i can. (do it with app Battery doctor). iPod is jailbroken, iOS 5.0.1
Thank you!

Its all about how much power the device uses, and that depends on how much power a given task requires. The reason your iPod can play music longer than it can play Angry birds is because games and apps require more computing power than playing music does. The same thing applies to surfing the web. Having the WiFi turned on uses power. Sending packets of data to web sites and getting data packets back takes power.
My brand new toshiba laptop is the same way. I can play music all day long, but when I play Company of Heroes, I have to plug in the power pack... Its just plain Physics....

How can I locate my lost iPod Touch if my location was off and user ID was changed?

I lost 3 Apple devices during house break in. How can I locate my lost Apple devices if my location was turn off,
without "Find My Phone" apps and user ID was changed. The 3 devices are iPod Touch, iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs.
I had made a Police Report and was told that I can request to get information to track my devices upon WIFI or
internet connection. I hope "APPLE" team will help me to track my devices with IP locations, GPS, built in compass,
or quickly send directions, updated informations and mobile data to find out and coordinates them.
Given point will also help the police to capture them.
Awaiting your reply.
Thank you. Rgd,

There is no Apple here, just users like you and me. Apple does not provide nor have that information, as far as I know, but if police needs that information, they have a legal way of contacting Apple. If I were you I would avoid trusting Internet forum, assessable by anyone with your personal information.

My Iphone/ Ipod touch 4th gen WiFi problems and solution

Just wanted to let people know the problems that I had with my 4th gen Ipod touch and Iphone 4 WiFi connections (and my solution).
I was having consistent problems with my WiFi connection at home - my devices were connecting fine to the router and apparently the signal was full strength; however, nothing was working properly (internet, itunes, app store). To be specific the devices would work for 5-10 minutes but then the connection would start to falter. My other wireless devices were working fine (HTC Hero, laptops etc.) - just the ipod and iphone seemed to suffer from this signal problem (although the router was always apparently connected).
Obviously, I read countless forums to try and diagnose the problem. There seemed to be a litany of possible causes and I tried the following to resolve the issue:
- updated router (Netgear WGR614 v6) firmware
- rotated wireless encryption (WEP/WAP/nothing)
- changed router channel
- reset router power
- reset network settings on Apple devices
- changed g and b settings on router
Nothing seemed to work so I began to question the hardware i.e. the router (which I knew was working from my other devices) and the iphone/ipod.
I tested my iphone and ipod on other wireless networks (McDonalds in the UK has free WiFi) and found that, in contrast, they worked fine on other networks. I had read a few posts from people saying that my router was perhaps too old. So as a last resort I bought myself a new router (Netgear WNR2000 v2). I was loathe to do this earlier in case it didn't work, since reasonable spec routers are £50
Anyway it worked ... straight away. I have tested the new connection at home using this SpeedTest app. D/load = 9.01 Mbps, U/load = 0.46 Mbps, Ping 65ms. The router is using the full encryption (WAP2 something ...) and N connection.
As you can probably tell I'm no WiFi expert - I just wanted to post this in case people are having similar issues with older routers. I wasn't able to find any definitive advice and solutions from other users so I though I'd contribute here, which I guess is the first port of call for new Apple users, like me
I bought the new router 10 days ago and have been enjoying my full speed connection ever since - touch wood. Hope this helps.

Sounds like an intermittent contact problem some where eon the logic board. Hard to trace down and fix

Ipod Touch 3.0 Upgrade problems

Hi there;
I've found a few similar problems out there on the forum, but none that contain a solution that has helped.
Basically I tried to upgrade my 2nd generation ipod touch from software version 2.2 to the new 3.0. On my main box pc, on which I have used Itunes for ages, I first upgraded to Itunes 8.2.0.23 and then I was further prompted to upgrade my ipod software to version 3.0.
The download went fine, but on installing the upgrade the ipod locked on the Apple screen (no progress bar) and I was presented with a window saying the update had failed. When going back to Itunes I was told that my ipod was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. After a further long period staring at an Apple, I get an error saying the Ipod could not be restored (code 1603).
After repeated attempts I decided to use my laptop, which has never had itunes installed as it's only a week old. I installed Itunes, started it and connected the Ipod. Again it said it was in recovery mode, so I asked it to restore it. Interestingly it downloaded v2.2 and restored successfully, although it was blanked back to purchase state. It then told me about the 3.0 upgrade, so (stupidly) figuring that this was a new state ipod on a different machine with a clean, new install of Itunes, I thought ok!
Same result, locks on the Apple screen and eventually tells me the update failed. Now when I restore on the laptop, I believe it's trying to restore the newly downloaded 3.0 instead of the (working) 2.2 and it fails with the error above.
I'm pretty confident that I can use a 3rd pc to restore back to 2.2, but why oh why is this being so problematic? Is 3.0 broken for some ipods out there?
I've tried a few solutions I've found, such as restarting the Apple Mobile Service, and using a different machine is like reinstalling/using different usb's (didn't work anyway as I've tried 2 ports on the laptop now), holding down the power/standby buttons to hard reset it. I'm about to create a new user on Vista32 HP to see if I can get it to restore.
What's going on?!
Many thanks in advance for any help.
Graeme
Btw:m I did pay for the update through Itunes of course. The new laptop install recognised that I'd paid already and downloaded without a further purchase.

RESOLVED
Typically, within 1/2 hour of posting my problem, I tried a random solution and it randomly worked. After quitting itunes, disconnecting the ipod (stuck permanently on the Apple screen after the last update failure, so I held down the power/stby buttons to turn it off). I then dug into the following folder where itunes keeps its update downloads...
c:\users\((username))\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
... and moved the two update files (one for 2.2 and another for 3.0) to the recycle bin. I ran iTunes, turned on the ipod with a hard reset by using the power/stby buttons together (to get the screen with the usb connector pointing to iTunes), then connected it. Got the screen saying about Recovery mode and needing to restore ... so I restored, got the window saying about 3.0... it downloaded and installed (progress bar and everything) successfully.
Farce complete. I don't think I'll update again!!!
I hope this possibly helps others out there, if they encounter this freakish seemingly rare problem.

When I tried to update my ipod touch, there was a problem and i don't get to restaure the softwere

I was updating my ipod touch 64gb with the new operation softwere, there was a problem, and the itunes message showed that I had to restaure. When I try to restaure the follow message appear '' The apple site is not available" I tried to use the existent procedures without sucess. What sould I do?

If the message said can not contact the update server:
Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem
Otherwise I do not understand the problem.
