IPod touch doesn't recognize files after upgrade to 2.1

So I updated my iPod Touch to 2.1. (Foolish choice on my part apparently) First I noticed that when I synced it, it didn't ACTUALLY sync. Podcasts were where I noticed it. New ones weren't making it on even though iTunes said they were being transferred.
In my attempts to fix the problem, I tried a restore. Now when it syncs it loads all the data but none of it is recognized by the iPod. If I open songs it says there are no songs. If I open videos it says there are no videos. Photos work though. (Weird)
Anyone got suggestions? If I could figure out how to go back to 2.0 I'd do it in a heartbeat. Right now I have a virtually useless iPod.

My 3G GPS isn't working properly either and if I turn it on, I am unable to receive incoming SMS messages - - if I am able to receive them they are many hours or a day late or worse, it never arrives. I tried sending SMS message to myself but it never returned. Outgoing SMS and incoming/ougoing calls are fine though.
So what I did now was to switch off 3G so I am now left with an expensive regular cellphone with no internet capability. Bummer. Not what I really want - I would have settled for a Sony Ericsson instead if all I want is just a regular cellphone.

Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.

I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

Mail doesn't recognize password after upgrading to Mountain Lion

After updgrading to Mountain Lion:
The gmail account in Mail began to ask for its password. it is preseent [in dots]; when i click to continue, dialog box indicates it doesn't recognize it.
i had time to to go over details in a gmail help page with details (port numbers and other things).
I decided to start over.
I deleted the account in Mail, system preferences, Accounts, began anew. Later I deleted inactive Gmail from  menu, Mail. Contacts & Calendars.
Reading some interventions in Communities mentioned the Key Chain. I had changed the Gmail password while using an older Mac Book. In June i purshased a MacBook Air and had Apple migrate my files from the old to the new mac. Mail had not password problems until I updated to Mountain Lion, which I thoroughly enjoy.
I'm at my wits end.
Throughout all this, Mail on my ipodtouch o.k.
I appreciate help.

Is it sleeping or shutting down?
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partitirion & use Disk Utility from there.

IPod Touch 2G - WiFi barely works after upgrading to OS 4

After upgrading the firmware on my iPod Touch 2G to iOS 4, I immediately lost all connectivity to WiFi. I have tried just about everything; resetting/restoring everything on the iPod, cycling the router, etc. None of this works. If I stand within a few feet of the router, I receive a weak signal.
I believe the problem lies within inconsistencies of hardware used in the iPod Touch 2G and iOS 4 being designed for slightly newer/updated hardware. This creates an incompatibility.
Any thoughts on how I can get my device functioning properly with WiFi. I'm just at a loss now.

My 2G touch with iOS 4.2.1 continues to operate perfectly on WiFi. The problem could be your router not quite being up to snuff for newer WiFi protocols but I won't rule out a touch problem either. What to do?
1. Reboot the router (unplug the A/C power for a few seconds)
2. Reset the touch network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
3. Log onto your network as if it were a new network - tap Setting > WiFi > Other and re-enter everything.
Those three steps should clear things up. However, if you still have problems, write back and give us more details about your network - router, encryption used, etc.

Ipod touch home button not working after upgrade

Hi,
The home button on my 1st generation ipod touch stopped working after upgrading the software a couple of weeks ago. Has anyone else come across this issue? Is it possible to downgrade the software? I have tried restoring the ipod with no luck.
Thanks

HI there,
thanks for the reply. Tried both of what you suggested, also tried the home button thing only working while plugged in with two computers and two different leads which is why I suspect is an operating system thing.
I may try downgrading the operating system next, just have to find a copy of an old one somewhere.
Cheers,
Martin

Since upgrading IOS 8 my Ipod Touch doesn't charge.

Since the upgrade to IOS 8 my ipod touch doesn't charge directly with the charger. It's not the cable or the charger. The cable works fine when I connect the ipod touch to my computer and start itunes, if I turn iphoto it still doesn't charge. And the plug works with the former ipods.
Any suggestions?
My ipod touch is 5th generation and I bought it 2 months ago. Even on the day of upgrade(before), it was charging with the charger.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable.
- If a 5G iPod
Iphone 5 lightning port charging problem - SOLUTION!
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod touch doesn't appear under devices. message - file not found.

My ipod touch doesn't appear under devices when I plug it into the computer. My mac tried to sync with the ipod touch and then gave me the message "ipod touch could not be synced. File not found." This just suddenly started. What file? and what happened to it? help, please.

PROBLEM SOLVED - I did not know that in itunes under "devices" there is a "hide" and "show" if you mouse over the area to the right of the word "devices". My ipod touch was somehow hidden. I still do not know why I got the "file not found" message.

ITunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5

iTunes won't recognize my password to restore my iPhone backup file after upgrading to ios5.
Tried every password I've ever used and tried resetting my password. Nothing works!
Any advice?

Nope. You obviously didn't read (or didn't remember) the User Guide. I will include a link for you. If you use the iPhone as Apple recommends (so that you do NOT experience data loss), frequent backups are advised, as are synching contacts/calendars with an appropriate cloud service or computer-based contact manager like Outlook.

My iPod touch 4G will not work after I tried to Downgrade it from iOS 5 to iOS 6

My iPod touch 4G will not work after I tried to Downgrade it from iOS 5 to iOS 6. The screen is black and it doesn't work.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
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.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My ipod touch accidentally disconnected during sync, after that it wont sync at all. although it appears to be syncing on botht he computer and ipod, it rushed through "determining which tracks to sync' step and no changes are actually made.

my ipod touch accidentally disconnected during sync, after that it wont sync at all. although it appears to be syncing on both the computer and ipod, it rushes through "determining which tracks to sync' step and no changes are actually made.i restarted both and reset the ipod. i checked to see that the computer recognizes the ipod (yes) and tried to sync over wifi with the same result...(i am afraid to retore to factory original beacuse the problem is about transferring from th computer itunes to the ipod)

There is no good way for yur problem since iTunes sees the iPOd. Yu can ry removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using:
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
However, I suspect a restor, first try from backup, is required.

IPod Touch Won't Recognize USB Cables

My 4th gen iPod Touch no longer recognizes my USB cables. They won't work through my computers and they won't work through a wall charger. My iPod charges fine through my JBL Sound Stage, it's just a problem with the cables. If I plug either cable into my iPod, nothing happens. No beeps, no messages, no charging screen, nothing.
I think I can pinpoint the problem until shortly after I purchased a spare cable, but that may very well be a coincidence. I've been using a third party wall charger, so that could be an issue as well- but it has never been a problem until after I purchased the new cable (can cables "burn out"?). I'd reset my iPod, but I need a cable to do that. So far I've just been charging via my JBL Sound Stage and syncing over WiFi.

If you have tried multiple computers and multiple USB sync cables, that definitely points to a hardware issue with your iPod Touch. Have you check the dock connector port for any signs of damage or debris that could be blocking or preventing the connection? Take a can of compressed air and trying blowing it out and using a Q-tip or similar to clean the contacts.
You'll likely need to have the iPod serviced or replaced. If still under warranty, take it into your local Apple store and see what they can do for you.

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1

Cannot print a PDF file after upgrading to Windows 8.1
I can print anything else from either the Desktop or Start but not a PDF. No error message but just does not print.
Update: down loaded Adobe Reader which runs on the desktop so when I read a PDF file it now runs on the desktop and I can print it.

If the "it" refers to a compressed (zipped) spreadsheet that you downloaded, the ".ods" extension is used by LibreOffice and probably OpenOffice (which are free versions of MS Office) for spreadsheets, which would suggest that wherever you're getting that "Excel" file from has switched to one of those programs. I've tried opening an .ods file from LibreOffice using MS Office 2013 for Windows and it does open though with a warning that some things have been changed. I don't know if Office for Mac can normally open .ods files. But if your need is to just open .ods files, take a look at LibreOffice.
