IPod Touch automation for museums

I'm trying to figure out how to use the Touch in museum exhibitions - to schedule start-up/shutdown times and automatically play movies and sound, for example to provide interpretation of an object in a showcase. I've exclusively used Macs in museums for 15 years, using combinations of Applescript, quicktime, Flash, Isadora, iPhoto, iTunes, etc, System Prefs and custom-coded software to deliver automated exhibitions - now I want to use the Touch but no luck so far.... anyone have any advice or ideas ?

Thanks Barra - since posting the question I located and watched the S_Jobs keynote on the 2.0 release, the SDK, Apps Store, etc so will follow up post-release - I expect someone will create the capability I need for the device. My programming skills are pretty basic (Applescript level) and I expect a deeper level of knowledge would be required to build a robust software system for the Touch.

It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the warrenty cover it?

If you are in the US you can see if there is a genius bar by going to http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar and then click on Make a Reservation at the top and you can search state, city and see how far they are from you.

Hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?

Thanks for answer

If you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery. Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up. If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If the non-iTunes purchases are on the old iPod you can copy them to your computer by:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
and then sync them to your new iPod.

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I am thinking of upgrading so should I go for the latest ipod touch or for the ipad mini?

It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.

My daughters iPod touch asks for her pass code but when she types it in the cursor does not move or input any characters so,she cannot get into the iPod. This has suddenly happened for no apparent reason, what can we do? Can anyone help please?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

When buying an Ipod Touch,just for music, how do you gauge which capacity machine you need?

When choosing an ipod touch just for music, how do you gauge which capacity you need?

Well, you'll be able to see how much material you already have by looking at the bottom of the iTunes window (eg "2000 songs, 2GB" or whatever). Then you can gauge whether that represents about as much as you expect to have in the near future, with a little headroom, or if you think you will dramatically increase that amount, either through ripping CDs, or by purchasing downloads.
Calculate a 4-minute song in AAC format / 256k as being 10MB. A 128k track would be around 5MB. Most MP3 tracks will generally be a little smaller for the same time length, but better to give yourself more room than you think you'll need.
So for the 8GB iPod - 800 tracks at 256k, or 1600 at 128k.
32GB: 3200 @ 256k or 6400 @ 128k.
64GB: 6400 @ 256k or 13000 @ 128k.
Current tracks from iTunes Store are 256kb/s. Bitrate for tracks you rip yourself are set using iTunes Preferences.
Hope that helps.
Matt

Can i exchange my ipod touch 4g for the new one?

Hello,
I want to change my old ipod touch 4g for the ipod touch 5g, and i just want it to know if the apple can exchange it?
Thanks

Was this at an Apple store?
Apple don't provide a service like this.
If it was an Apple store they may have meant you can trade it in for 10% off a new model. This is all though.
Sorry
