Ipod touch *3.0software upgrade  *$59-apple care

1. Is the 3.0 software upgrade, have issues?; and/or is it worth $9.95 cost.
2. I've usually purchased apple care for my macs; is it a good idea for the iPod Touch? **your thoughts
(just recently purchased iPod Touch)
Thanks

If you search the forums, you'll see some of the problems people are having with updating to 3.0. Only you can decide if it is worth the 9.95 by checking out the features. Keep in mind that developers will probably (eventually) start making their apps compatible with the newer OS.
Ask yourself if you'd be willing to spend the $$ to repair and/or replace your iPod Touch if necessary. I'd probably purchase the Apple Care. The time slipped by for me, but should something happen to my 1G Touch, I would use the opportunity to replace it with a newer version with more capacity.

  • How much would it cost to bring my ipod touch 4th generation to the apple store and get my 8gb of storage upgraded to 16 gb?

    Apple doesn't do trade ins. You can get 10% off your next purchase for recycling your old iPod through Apple.You'd do better to erase your iPod and sell it on ebay, then use the money toward a new iPod. Hope this helps, good luck, Cheers.

  • IPhone 2.2.1 software on my iPod touch isn't recognized by my car stereo...

    Hey, First ever post in an online discussion. Hope I'm doin' this right...
    I'm trying to restore the factory software to my first generation 32G ipod touch from my MacBook because my car stereo does not recognize the new software. (my MacBook doesn't have iphone 2.2.1 installed, and Apple support told me a factory settings restore from my MacBook to my iPod touch is my only hope). It seems I can't do an old fashioned restore because my MacBook doesn't even see the iPod (presumably because the iPod has the newest software and the laptop doesn't).
    Anyone... Bueller...?

    All I can suggest is to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store

  • Significant Volume Reduction on Ipod Touch 3GS after upgrading to IOS 4.2

    Hi everyone. I just would like to ask why there is a significant decrease of sound volume after my ipod touch 3GS was upgraded from 3.1 to IOS 4.2. Settings are the same and I haveven't changed anything, so I'm pretty sure its a software issue. Is there a way now to increase or recover the volume? I am planning to downgrade it back (if it is still possible) just to get back the huge volume of ipod touch 3.1. Thanks in advance guys.

    I have had the same problem. I have put the same song on my standard Ipod and also my Itouch and the volume on the touch is considerabely lower when it plays through the Apple plug. When I play music through Pandora the volume is higher than the music that is uploaded. This has only happened since I updated to OS4. Any idea how to help with this?

  • IPod Touch 2G 32GB with White Apple Logo and Failed Restore / Recovery

    My Specifications:
    iPod Touch 32GB 2G
    iPhone OS 3.1.3
    2.8 Ghz. Intel Core 2 Duo iMac
    Mac OS 10.5.8
    iTunes 9.0.3 (15)
    Problem:
    After updating my iPod Touch to OS 3.1.3, my iPod touch started having sync issues where it would say the sync failed. The backup files stopped being created and the latest version was over two weeks old (from prior to the updated to 3.1.3). After an application became unstable and crashed frequently, I tried to do a reboot by holding the Power & Home buttons until the Apple Logo appeared to begin the reboot process. After waiting for 6 hours, the ipod still had not rebooted but was frozen on the White Apple Logo screen.
    Troubleshooting Steps I’ve Take:
    1. Attempted to follow Apple Frozen iPod Touch and Common Issue Troubleshooting Guide. The iPod will not shut down using the Power Slider function.
    2. Restore via iTunes using the DFU Restore Function (Power Button & Home Button for 10 seconds, releasing the Power Button, followed by plugging in the USB cable while holding the Home Button down). iTunes recognized the ipod at the point and began the restore process. The process took almost 32 hours and when it was completed, the ipod would not boot up by remained with the White Apple Logo. My original attempt was with using a powered USB hub.
    3. Repeated the restore process but by plugging directly into the computer and eliminating all USB devices except keyboard and mouse. Deleted the OS 3.1.3 updated and made iTunes download the file in case it was corrupted.
    4. Rebooted computer between each attempt.
    5. Deleted iTunes and the Apple Mobile Device Services as per Apple Article HT1747. Rebooted the computer and reinstalled iTunes. iTune would not recognized the iPod Touch to do a restore using the DFU method. I’ve retried various timings and versions with the cable plugin, booting with the cable plug in and not plugged in, etc... No effect.
    6. Repeated the above steps on a MacBook Pro running OS 10.6. iTunes wouldn’t recognize the iPod.
    7. Repeated the above steps using a different sync cable. iTunes wouldn’t recognize the ipod.
    8. Unplugged the iPod and let it completely drain until the screen went blank for 1 day. When pressing home button the Low Battery / Plug In warning appears. Recharged the battery using a wall plug for 12 hours. Retried the above steps. No change.
    What I’ve Eliminated As The Problem Via My Troubleshooting:
    1. Computer Hardware
    2. iTunes Software
    3. Sync Cable
    4. USB Conflicts
    What I Need Is A Solution:
    1. Completely wiping my ipod is an acceptable solution at this point. I’ve spent a week working on this and wasted way too much time. Is my iPod trashed thanks to an OS update?
    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I've ready each forum posting involved White Apple Logo Issues and have come up empty. Am I the only persons would is having trouble restoring?
    Thank you,
    Paul

    More Troubleshooting Steps For Your Consideration:
    I was able to restore back to iPhone OS 2 by using a laptop that had not been synced with my ipod touch previously. When I did the DFU with it, iTunes downloaded OS 2 and it worked.
    Then I went back to my iMac and proceeded to install OS 3.1.3 and that seemed to work ok too.
    I've been getting the white apple logo of death, however, when I try to sync applications. All seems well, but as it is finishing the ipod touch reboots to the White Apple Logo Screen and stays there. iTunes seems oblivious to this taking place.
    During my second rebuild starting with OS 2 and then updating to 3.1.3, it worked again. When I tried to add apps, I only put on a dozen. That worked too. I did get the White Apple Logo Screen of Death once again and I did the third sync to get the rest of my apps in place.
    I'm on the third rebuild from version 2. I'm going to try to use an old file I have of 3.1.1 instead of 3.1.3. Also, I'm going to add one application per sync. At least this way I might be able to find out if it is a specific app that is causing the problems.
    In my further research, it appears that this bug has been in place since the early days of iPhone OS 2.
    All told I've spent over week with my computers tied up working on this problem. I think it would have more cost effective to just buy a new iPod. (I'd rather wait for the 4G version this fall!).
    Just in case anyone else has been having issues, that is where I'm at. I'll let you know if I figure this issue out in more detail.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Thanks, but I've checked those articles out already. I drained the battery and finally got the needs charge (battery w/red line + arrow pointing to a charging bolt), I plugged the USB into the laptop and held down the start key +home key until I saw the apple logo. However, it still was not recognized by itunes. It's been plugged in for over an hour now and the screen is cycling apple logo/low battery (battery w/red line)/and black screen.

    my ipod touch is stuck on the apple logo and i cant reset it as my home button is broken what else can i try?

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on           
    Ignore the reset and when it says place the iPod in recovery mode
    Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

    or
    http://joshuabailey1997.wordpress.com/2010/09/02/recboot-v1-3/
    If necessary:
    Download QTMLClient.dll & iTunesMobileDevice.dll for RecBoot
    and                                           
    RecBoot tip
    RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then try:

    For MAC or PC       
    The Firmware Umbrella - TinyUmbrella
    Installs blootware on PC too
    - 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 another cable       
    - 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.
