IPod Touch and Orientation Lock?

Given no multi-tasking, does that mean no orientation lock too? Certainly that could have made it the the 8 GB iPod Touch iOS4 upgrade.

Yes, but also keep in mind, for a company that primarily wants to make money, the best way to force people to upgrade their hardware to the latest versions is to deliberately disallow upgrades .
I disagree; the best way to get customers to upgrade their hardware is to sell better hardware (as in the multitasking possible in the latest hardware). Limiting software upgrades for marketing reasons is a short sighted strategy. I will upgrade when I have a compelling reason to give up on what I have.
The best way to keep customers wanting to come back is to not do evil; helping customers get the most out of what they buy is a better long term strategy.

  • HT4113 I have an ipod touch and am locked out. not sure how to reset it

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
    If you previously synced to the computer then you may be able to recover use of the iPod without erasing the iPod by following the instructions here:

  • I forgot my password to get into my IPod Touch and am locked out.

    My daughter locked me out of our IPod touch.  My computer is so old that I am not able to get into the Apple Support to see how to fix it.  Does anyone know a way around this?  Is there a way that we can unlock the touch without hooking it up to the computer?  She never used to put a password on it until she started taking it to school and was afraid other kids would get it and look at her stuff or get into the apps.  Can I call Apple and ask them or do I have to hook it up to the computer to unlock it?  Please help!  I am desperate!!!

    Click here and follow the instructions.

  • I am locked out of my ipod touch and forgot the password.  How can i get into it without restoring it?

    I have gotten locked out of my ipod touch and do not know the password, but my computer cannot restore it, so I need to know how to get in without restoring it.

    PC WAY
    1.Plug the iPod in computer.
    2.Go to "My Computer" And click the apporiate drive your your iPod.
    3.Change the folder option to "View all hidden files and folders"
    4.Navigate to ipod_control
    5.Then go to Device
    6.Then there is a file there named"_Unlocked"
    7.Open that up with a text editor (Notepad) and viola the passcode is right there.

  • I daughter's iPod touch is password locked and authorized to computer that doesn't exist anymore. i want to set it up on my iTunes but it won't recognize it because of the failed password attempts. what can i do?

    My daughter's ipod touch is password locked and attached to a computer that doesnt exist anymore. i want to authorize it to my computer itunes account but itunes wont even read it due to the password failure. what can i do?

    That's by design. The password is designed to protect the user's information and cannot be circumvented. You can restore it to "new" condition though, and sync it to your computer. The iPod Touch's content will be securely erased by doing this.
    Refer to iOS: Unable to update or restore. Follow the instructions exactly as written.

  • I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead

    I have just tried to update my ipod touch and the update failed but it has locked my ipod.  All I get is a picture of the itunes logo and the usb lead.  I am unable to get the ipod to move and I don't know what to do.  I think I should be recompenced by Apple if I have to pay to get it fixed!

    The logo is saying connect it to your computer with iTunes installed on the computer.  I assume when yo do this that the iPod is not seen in iTunes. to make iTunes appear try:
    - Resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode.  See:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place the iPod in DFU mode:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    If the iPod appears in iTunes restore the iPOd.  If not I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT4946 i locked my new ipod touch and cant it back open from the computer help.?:(

    i locked my new ipod touch and cant it back open from the computer help.?:

    First:
    - See:       
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with defect cables
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genus Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If you get it to charge then:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • I recently bought 2 ipod touches and sometimes the video camera locks up. is this from not enough charge or does anyone else have this problem?

    i recntly bought 2 ipod touches and they both seem to lock up in video mode and i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?  is it due to low battery?

    It happens sometimes. Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardare problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar is in order.

    You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it.  If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.
