IPod Touch cut and paste

Just got a new (3.1.2) iTouch. Is it just me, or is the cut & paste function really minimal? I can only get it to work in mail. I'd like to be able to use it across apps on the device itself; syncing to my Mac laptop might be useful, but not necessarily what I'm looking for now. Is there an app that is more comprehensive? I see a few out there, but they're either not well reviewed, seem mainly designed to sync to the laptop, or are by unauthorized developers. Any tips would be appreciated.

It works in most apps for me. You need to touch _and hold_ for the cut/paste to appear. Sometimes it's not as responsive as we would like.

5th Gen iPod - Accidently Cut and Pasted in My Computer... Now Buggered

So, I was at school, listening to my music as per normal, when class ended and I had to leave. I closed iTunes before ejecting the iPod and didn't want to log off Windows without taking the iPod out first (being as its new and I love it so). I went to My Computer to eject it as a removable device, which I have never had a problem with. I right clicked the icon, but as I scrolled down the list of options, I accidently went one option too far and clicked "Cut" instead of eject. Well, figuring I had to eject it still, I "Pasted" the iPod back into the window. It ejected fine, but had been wiped in the process. This worried me...
The situation was further compounded when I went home that evening and went to replace all of my music. iTunes came up with its standard "New version available. Would you like to upgrade" box, so I said "Yes." The installation went fine until the very end, in the finishing window, where it said "Installation interrupted. Please try re-installing at a later time." This didnt worry me as I expected a restart would solve the problem. But it didnt. Not only that, iTunes was no longer in my Add/Remove Programs list. I tried re-installing the old version I received on the CD with the iPod but it did the same thing. A little frustrated, I came on to Apple.com and checked the support articles. I found that the solution they offered was "Re-install Windows." I dont have a Windows CD. Windows is burned into my hard drive, so I have whats called a recovery disc. Needless to say, I had to burn my hard drive and reinstall everything...
Now, I was finally ready to install iTunes and the iPod updater. I installed both and plugged in my iPod. Instead of the warm and inviting messages informing me of my computers undying love, I got this:
http://www.geocities.com/dyerseveca/iPod_ErrorMessage.JPG
Needless to say, I was crushed. So here I am. My computer won't recognize my iPod, and I cannot run the updater because of this. I've tried resetting my iPod by holding the menu and centre buttons, but it gives me that same message. I have reinstalled all the software I can think of, but nothing has worked so far. I tried that XPlay software, but it says there is no iPod connected. I went to school and connected it on their computers. Works fine. Any computer I plugged it in to, the iPod showed up. Kind of like it was taunting me...
Anyways, that is my situation. I'm on day three or four (I can't remember) and I would enjoy having my iPod back. Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated. (Also, I'm sorry for writing an epic, but the situation is making me kind of nuts.)
P.S. - I'm going to try to restore the iPod to the factory settings this weekend using my friends computer. I haven't been able to so far because my computer wont let me, and the computers at my school dont have iPod software (darn Tech's won't let me install it anyways) or they're macs, which dont help me really.
Sorry, Im really done now....
Thanks

I had an iPod touch in the past.. Now I have the iPhone. And I got an iTues card and I can't purchase anything because it's asking for a security question since I've never purchased anything on this device yet.. I don't know the answers to the questions?

I had an iPod touch in the past and used an iTunes card to purchase songs, I now have the iPhone and again bought an iTunes card to purchase things. Since I have not purchased anything on this device yet it is asking me two security questions that I don't know the answers to. What do I do?

The Security Questions are not associated with your device - they are associated with your iTunes account/AppleID. If you cannot remember what you originally set up for your security questions, here are the instructions for getting them reset. First set are for if you set up a Rescue Email address, second set are for if you did not.

The only way is to connect the iPod to a computer with has an internet connection and iTunes and restore the iPod. Use as friiend's computer or make an appointment at ther Geniuds Bar of an Apple store.

My iPod Touch cut out and won't turn back on. What has happened?

Help. My iPod Touch cut out and it won't turn back on.Does anyone know how I can get it working again?

Is this what you are looking for?
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it?

Ipod touch wont load past apple screen. I have tried resetting by holding home button and on/off but after it resets it still only loads to the apple screen. When I plug the device in It stays on the apple screen and itunes does not recognize it? I fear it may be stuck in some sort of reset loop which is stopping itunes from recognizing it. How do I go about the process of sending it in to apple if I cannot find a fix? Thank you in advance, it is greatly appreciated!!

- See if placing the iPod in Recovery mode will allow a restore.
- If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off (that is required to place in recovery mode), then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try the reset, restore again
- Then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apples store.

I wanted the music on my Ipod Touch 3g to be on my new ipod Touch 4g and Ive been trying to do it, by trying to copy and paste but thats not working so if you have another way can you please tell me. Thanks.

I was wondering how do you get the music on your old ipod to the new ipod?
Because i have the Ipod Touch 3G and im getting the Ipod4G, and i was trying to get the music to go to the libary but it wouldnt transfer.Because i didnt purchase all my music i download some from other places so not all my music transferred. So i need a different way to get my music to my new Ipod. i was wondering if you just plug it in to the computer and if it would ask you to download the songs from the previous ipod im not sure so please help me out. Thanks!

All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
Click Synch Music.
Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
Now just synch the iPod.

I can use cut and paste in Rich Text Editors for all web site hosts but one. I have tried the solution you provided, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? the website that rejects cut and paste is Network Solutions

I really hoped you would fix the security policy issue in release 4. I have to close Firefox and use IE9 to maintain a website I built with Network Solutions and I'd much rather not have to endure the slowness of IE. I also have websites with Wix and WEBS and have no problems at all using cut and paste with them.

Did you have it connected to the library mac when it froze? If so, why? I would be hesitant to hook my ipod to a unprotected public computer since it may be infested with viruses or have unknown hardware problems.
In any case, if you can get it to an Apple store they can probably help you with it, it sounds like it needs replacing.
A certain percentage of any complex product will turn out to be defective and will have to be returned, it sounds like you were unlucky enough to get one. Looking over the forums here it may seem like the ipod is plagued with bugs, but don't forget that there are millions who never have a problem and so have no reason to pipe up here. Personally I think Apple deserves a thumbs up for continuing to host these forums in spite of how they may cast a negative light on thier products to the casual observer.

Work-around for lack of cut and paste for files in finder

I am new to Mac and have observed some past but closed discussions about the annoying lack of cut and paste in Finder. I too find it very time-consuming to move a file into the folder where I want it to live - especially from downloads. Using a MacBook Pro 13", my open windows are naturally on top of each other and using drag and drop with a touch-pad for file organisation is very cumbersome. Four finger behaviour on touch pad only helps so far.
The approach I adopt is to use cmd c to copy the files or folders in question. cmd ` to flick between finder windows (usually more than one is open) and cmd v to place the files or folders where I want them after navigating through to the destination folder. Shift cmd N gives me a new folder if required. cmd ` takes me back to source folder (usually downloads) so I can cmd delete the files and keep things tidy. This is lengthy to write down. It is however reasonably quick if your fingers know the keyboard shortcuts.
Is there a more efficient way for me to work around this inhibitory feature of Finder? "Save as" is only good if you know you have a folder in your file structure already created and named and suitable to receive the file you want to file away (usually an attachment to an email).

This is in reply to your last paragraph...
This is the Mac OS default Save As... dialog:
Notice that there is a downward pointing disclosure triangle to the right of the Save As: field. If you click on the disclosure triangle, a full Finder window will be exposed, and this will enable you to place downloaded files wherever you like.
Notice, also, that in the bottom left hand corner of the exposed finder window, you are able to create a new folder (in any location on your system) to which you are able to download files.
This works the same way in any Save As situation, using any app, and the app you are in will remember where you last chose to save a file so that repetitive navigation in these dialog boxes is somewhat reduced.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days. The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

Do I have to cut and paste album artwork for all the albums in my library?

So my 4gb ipod 1st gen is pretty much dead so I've bought a 3rd gen. 8gb nano, upgraded my iTuunes software to 7.5 and syncd my library onto my new iPod. All songs I've bought from iTunes have album artwork and one other old album I uploaded myself alos has album artwork but all 130 of the other albums in my library do not have artwork.
I've gone to Advanced> Get Album Artwork, but I get the error message "could not find some artwork". I can't understand why only one of my uploaded albums has artwork visible on iTunes but all of the others don't? Do I really ahve to cut and past from Amazon for each album? Hope the anser is "No" becasue that's really time consuming!

I guess you've figured out that the answer is "yes". Remember you can do groups of songs (like an album) at a time by selecting them and doing "get info". Also, by saving album art in the mp3 file, you can save it permanently.

my ipod touch disabled and my p.c not working what do i do

Thgen the iPod needs a wifi connection to the internet and yo need another iPod, iPhone or iPad with the FindMyiPhone app. you can also yse any computer too
Only if:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Via USB with any computer with iTunes and an internet connection
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

My Copy/Cut and Paste Solution (if possible)

I sent this to Apple:
I know there's been a lot of people saying they need/want a cut/copy & paste feature.
I was thinking about this tonight and realized that with a touch screen that needs to control a lot, incorporating "clicking and dragging" becomes somewhat a challenge. I don't know if it's possible to do with a software update (through iTunes) but here two ideas...
First, in either idea, a "copy arrow" would need to be included in the touch keyboard. It would look like a cursor key arrow pointing to the right.
Idea #1 - Cursor arrow is a "sticky" key, so you hit it once and it stays selected until you hit it again.
Using a finger or the cursor magnifying glass, the user could place their cursor at the beginning of the text they want to highlight. They then click on the sticky arrow key. Using a finger or the cursor magnifying glass they place the cursor at the end of the text they want to highlight. The text now shows highlighted. Click the sticky arrow key again to copy the text and clear the highlight.
Idea #2 - Cursor arrow highlights as it's selected.
Using a finger or the cursor magnifying glass, the user places their cursor at the beginning of the text they want to highlight/copy. They then click on the copy arrow key (or hold it down) until they reach the end of the text they wish to copy. As they highlight, content highlighted is copied to the clipboard automatically. Clicking anywhere on the screen clears the highlight (and retains what is highlighted on the clipboard).
Being Apple, you may have a more elegant solution than me... but I thought I'd share it none-the-less.
What do you think?

I was going to cut and paste part of another post about this but...
I think that th simplest initial implementation of copy/cut/paste is to have a clipboard icon that turns on a selection function with its own pallete of keys. (cut, copy, paste, select all, select none, delete selection, and my favorite desperately needed button... copy to notes)
Once in clipboard mode, single tap selects a ord, double tap selects a sentence, triple tap selects the paragragh, and a select all button selects the entire text within the frame.
Perhaps there should also be a button that looks like your cursor with the arrow. however, it would have to be set to highlight from one complete word to another and not from the exact point of touch.
Man do I wish that I could copy and paste this into my own post from earlier.

I have an Ipod touch 6 and can't updated apps. When I click update, nothing happen. Any clue?

Thanks,

There is no iPod Touch 6. The latest generation is iPod Touch 5. Perhaps you mean you have an iPod running iOS 6.1.6. If so, you have a 4th generation iPod which cannot update past 6.1.6. A 5th generation iPod can run iOS 7
