Ipod Touch 2G now 'useless' after attempting the IOS4
Hopefully Apple have an inclination ho to resolve this. My 2G Touch was fine and for months I didnt bother with the IOS 3 upgrade as I 1) didnt want to pay for it and 2) didnt think I would use many of the features. However after finding more and more apps needed the new software I decided to do it today. To my surprise, the IOS 3 was now replaced with IOS 4 and it was free......result. I followed the instrcutions and while it attempted to load the drivers......it couldnt and I cannot recover my Ipod. Device isnt recognised now when I plug in the USB. I get yellow exclamation marks for the apple mobile device recovery driver.My Touch,no matter what I do has a picture of a USB cable on it.I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.........all to no avail. Any help would be great..........PLEASE
Sorry you have had so many problems. You are going to need to tackle this one step at a time.
PC
1. You must have at least Windows XP, service pack 2.
2. Use Control Panel to delete all Apple Software - iTunes, Apple Mobile Device Services, QuickTime, etc.
3. Reboot your computer
4. Download and install iTunes 9
5. Turn off anti-virus and download the iOS4 update
6. Turn off your firewall before you begin the the update process on your touch
iPod touch
1. Make sure it is unplugged from your computer
2. Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and turn it off (it may not respond to this)
3. Start iTunes on your computer
4. Press and hold the Home button on your touch. Keep holding this button down and plug your touch back into your computer. Keep holding it until iTunes says "an iPod has been detected in recovery mode".
5. Follow the on screen instructions.
If you encounter any errors, note the number. More information on those errors can be found in the Apple tech article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275

If your ipod touch says it's disabled and to connect to itunes, but itunes wont recognize it due to being disabled, what do you do??
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

IPod Touch WIFI Signal Fluctuates After Upgrading to iOS4
I upgrade to iOS4, and now my iPod Touch 3rd gen's WIFI signal fluctuates now matter how close I am to my Airport. I can be right next to the Airport and the signal will go back and forth from one bar to three bars. Never happened with OS 3.1.3.

For those having Wi-Fi issues... What level of encryption are you using on your routers? And is your router at full power? I'm not really having any Wi-Fi issues, I'm using WPA-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES] and I switch my router to full power after I started having the iOS4 batter problem. (it was on "Neighbor Friendly" Mode). I was worried that a weaker signal would contribute even more to the already existing battery drain and I'm figuring that having the encryption on the highest level is also affecting the battery as well, but I haven't tested the difference.
Using WEP + hidden SSID at home (I have some devices that choke on WPA). Open WiFi access with authentication at work. Router signal boosted from 42mW to 70mW using Tomato firmware.
Also, if you're using a Pre-N router, disabling "Neighbor Friendly" mode means you're using a ton of 2.4GHz channels. This prevents any neighbors near your home from using WiFi, because you've stolen all of the available channels. I had to set up my sister-in-law on Wireless-A, because her backyard neighbor hates her, and turned off "Neighbor Friendly" mode on his router. What a pain. -
IPod Touch can't backup after upgrading to iOS4
I have an iPod touch 2G 8GB, and since I updated to iOS4 it restarts every time it tries to backup. This means that I can't sync, can't put new music/movies/pictures/podcasts on my ipod. I was able to restore, but since it still has iOS4 it still can't sync.
When it tries to sync, it will work fine until it starts "Backing Up "Fenrir"..." and gets to about ~20%. Then the ipod will appear to be loading (it will bring up the ring of dots indicating as such). Then the screen abruptly goes dark, and then lights up again with the apple logo. iTunes loses contact with the ipod, though no error message is given, and then it shows up again as though it was just connected. This happens consistently, exactly the same way, every time I try to sync.
Any solutions? Should I just go back to an older version of iOS until these issues are sorted out?I had the same issue, and after extensive searching and troubleshooting, I pretty much figured out the following: iOS4 has a bug for many ipod touch 2g's and iphone 3g that it simply will not restore from a pre-iOS4 backup. I had to do a new ipod install, lost all app settings, and then it worked fine. I have since tried installing the old backup, no dice, but the new post iOS4 backup I made for test purposes works. Until Apple releases a patch, it seems as if old backups will just cause one error or another.

When i start downloading apps to my ipod touch 3g they dissapear after loading the app picture
After i type in my password it will say waiting,then it will load picture, then dissapear. I restored my ipod and it worked to download for i while, but now it happens again. Is there a app limit? i have 20 downloaded apps.
Try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time. -

I updated the ios on my ipod touch. Now when I browse the itunes store on my ipod, it only allows a very brief visit before automatically closing me out. I have to go back into the store and begin searches etc all over again. Is this a setting or a problem that is randomly occuring? I use to look for hours. Any thoughts?

My Ipod touch email stopped working after installing Update
my Ipod touch email stopped working after installing the latest firmware update from Apple what should I do?
Hi, jewlssch.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If the Mail application will not launch, I would recommend processing any available updates on your Mac Pro and test launching Mail. If the issue persists, process a reinstall of Mavericks.
Reinstall OS X

After purchasing songs at the itunes store, my ipod touch will no longer synch with the itunes library at all. It won't send the purchases to the device and it won't synch any other music to the device. Also a lock symbol is now displayed at the top of the ipod touch. How do I fix this.
This was the first purchase I made.Are you following these instructions?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Where is the lock icon on the screen? -
All of the music on my Ipod Touch is blown out after I synched it with my new MacBook. I didn't get the 'synch' warning-- but now can't find my library of songs. I'm about to panic!
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. Thes those iTunes are not restored to the iPod unless they are in the iTunes library.
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -

- 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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

So, after my iPod touch died, i plugged it into the computer to try and charge it, and now it keeps changing between the charging screen, the apple logo, and a blank black screen, still hasn't charged, and its been plugged in for almost an hour now
See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
Have you tried another cable?
Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
