Ipod Touch: Does it have problems playing Apple Lossless files?

Hi All
This might sound like a strange question to some of you but considering the hassles I am having with the 120gb classic it isn't.
To make a long story short my 120gb classic cannot play Apple Lossless files properly. Essentially they crash the ipod because the files are too large. I have done some research and on many forums people are experiencing the same problem.
I do find it quite offensive that Apple do not have the courage to admit this is a problem but there is nothing I can do about it.
So my solution is to get rid of my 120gb classic and move to a Sony or Cowon player (still doing research to make sure they can handle lossless (not apple) files).
However i really do love everything else about the ipod so I would love to find a way to keep it.
I figure maybe the new ipod touch's might not have this problem because they are solid state and if that is the case then I can stump up for one of those and keep with the ipod brand.
Does anyone know if the Touch's can deal with these large files? Apparently the problem with the old 120gb classics was the small 64mg cache. Hopefull the Ipod touch doesn't have this issue.
Anyway any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Eddie

If I went with an Ipod touch it would be a newer so I guess it would have the newest OS on it.
I'll wait awhile longer and do some more research before I take the plunge because I do not want to get ripped off like I did with the 120gb Classic.
Thanks for the reply though. At least it is leading into the right direction!
Eddie

Correct. When you did that, you voided all warranty/support, & forfeited the right to an out of warranty replacement.
There was nothing wrong with the screen I bought,
And, exactly, how do you know that? Since Apple DOES NOT sell iPhone parts, there is no official source for genuine parts. Thus, many on the market are counterfeit & produce nothing but problems.
Good luck.

My 10 yr old wants to text from his iPod touch. We have 1 family Apple ID. How can I monitor his texts without receiving all of his friends messages? Do I need a separate Apple ID or can I link a new email address to the same Apple ID?

Problems syncing Apple Lossless Files with iphone 3.0 and 3.1.

I recently started having problems with syncing apple lossless files with my iPhone 3G. They were recording I made using Logic Pro and the same as have been working with no problem since I got my iPhone last year. Although the songs would play and indicate the correct total time in iTune, on the iPhone they would indicate a total time of over 2 hours even though they were 2-3 minute long. The same files converted to mp3 did not have this problem. Since updating to iTunes 9 and 3.1 on the iPhone, the problem is worse. The Apple Lossless format files do not show up on the iPhone at all even though they are fine in iTunes. mp3 format do not have this problem.
Anyone else having the same issues?

Hi Allen,
I would like to thank you very much for your help with Forte 3.0 and WTK 1.0.1 beta.
Thank you for the pointing me to the ForteJ2MEGuide.pdf file. It is very useful document.
However, even following it I did not succeeded in accomplishing my task.
I was able to follow the instructions and create, compile and run the Hello midlet which
was generated by the IDE. My previous problem related to the fact that I did not create
project and midlet suite for the midlet. After doing all of that the generated midlet worked. However, it was not what I wanted.
First, the instructions in the guide only described how to generate new midlet. I tried
to add the existing midlet to the current project. Unfortunately, the IDE always picked
up the generated template, not my code.
Second, when the generated midlet started to work, it was difficult to debug it. I set
up the breakpoint, but the IDE did not stop at it. I think the reason is the compiler
did not have debugging flag set up. Do you know where it is possible to set it up?
So, at the end I still cannot accomplish very simple task which should not be very
difficult at all:
1. Use my own code to create a midlet.
2. Compile and execute the midlet and see how it runs in emulator.
3. See step-by-step execution of every line of my code and the value
of every variable in the code.

New ipod touch does not have firmware 2.0

I ordered my ipod touch on July 17th, after the firmware release but still have the older firmware. Am I still supposed to pay for the firmware update? I have no idea whom to pose this question to at apple. Any ideas/thoughts?

I ordered my Touch on the 17th also and it arrived with software version 1.1.4 installed. Not even the most recent FREE one!! AND I am having REAL trouble accessing email via the Touch...nothing has worked despite calling my ISP, Apple and investigating every bulletin board post that is related. NOTHING has worked to help me. Someone suggested that it might be a software glitch the downloading the newer version might fix. If my device isn't fully functional, shouldn't any updates be FREE? One would think so! I bought this in the understanding that I would be able to access email via my Touch!!

TS2972 iPod touch does not have permission to access requested resource

trying to play video via home sharing and am able to see the videos in the home sharing library, but when I click on a video, I get the message "You do not have permission to access the requested resource."

I came here with the same question. I didn't find an answer here but kept monkeying around with my new ipod touch and THIS WORKED FOR ME...YAY! At the upper left of the screen if you see a little "sharing" symbol, tap it. Then, if you get a choice between "Library" and "Your ipod" (whatever you named it)... tap on your ipod's name. I had mistakenly gone there and tapped library and was not able to acess videos or movies. I was getting the "you do not have permission..." message. Now everything is hunky dorey! Hope this is helpful.

My iPod touch does not have new software (purchased Jan 26th)

Hey,
I know a similar question has been asked and was solved, but this situation is slightly different. I'm in South Korea and purchased my iPod at a store similar to a WalMart. Anyway, I purchased the iPod a few hours ago (on the 26th of January) and noticed that it did not have any of the new software updates (i.e. maps, stocks, weather, etc.) I'd love to have those programs on my iPod and I even waited until after they were released so I wouldn't have to pay for them like was said... and am quite disappointed that my iPod doesn't have the said software. I have a receipt and everything to prove the purchase... does anybody know of a number I can call or anybody I can speak to to sort this issue out?
Thanks.

This is very frustrating. I called the Apple Customer Service in USA but the lady on the phone was not helpful to me in any sense. I tried calling the number that was mentioned above but for whatever reason, it says the number does not exist. Calling the Apple Store in Korea (which is on the other side of the country, no less) was not useful as I was met with a voice recording in Korean (I don't speak Korean).
In any case, I asked the lady over the phone in USA if I could receive a credit over the phone... she basically laughed at me which was quite rude. I understand that I might have to visit an Apple Store, but considering there's only one in this country and it's way on the other side, financially, it doesn't make sense. I also don't feel right having to pay $20 for software that I should be entitled to considering I purchased the iPod after the release of everything. I own two MacBook's and this would be my third iPod... I've given Apple their fair share of my money... I'm not giving $20 here.
Does anybody have any other suggestions/solutions? Is there an e-mail address I can contact that anybody knows of? ... Thanks to all the other suggestions.

No.
Looks like yours could be a 2nd Gen... If so... iOS 4,2,1 is as far as it can go

My ipod touch (and iphone) won't play long audio files.

What happens, is it gets to 5 minutes or so, sometimes 10, then skips to the next track. And when I skip back to the track I was listening to it won't go past that point. Why would this be? Could it be the way I have my ipod set up or the audio track? (These are long audio tracks btw, 50mins-1hr long)
Thanks

What is the source of the files? Do they play OK in iTunes on the computer?
Try:
- A 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 settings/new iPod.
If you still have a problem an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

It sounds like a cred hold was placed on your account for the free apps. See:
iTunes Store: About credit-card authorization holds
I would wait until you get the email receipt(s) for your purchases. If yu were charge more than you think then:

HT4623 My ipod touch does not have the option "software update." It currently has the version4.2.1. How do I update the software?

How do I update the software?

Sounds like your ipod version is too old like 2nd version. Call apple to verify. 4.2.1 is a Marker as the highest older devices can go. If itunes or your computer operating system is old or not updated it can say this is current.

Latest iPod Touch -- does it have an FM Tuner?

and/or the "tagging" feature?

Hello Gina,
and/or the "tagging" feature?
No and no. However, there are Apps available in the App store that allow you to play different radio stations by streaming them over the Internet. Or you can simply stream certain stations over the internet as well.
