Ipod touch help for a really fed up dad
please help
firstly i am having really difficulty with this forum
i have already posted a version of this message and cannot find the replys,
my daughters 4th gen ipod touch ios 6.1.3 is causing me to loose the rest of my hair
we have tried looking for a software update but this is the latest apparently
we have tried password resets and the apple site seems to go around in a loop so you dont know if it has taken or not,
we have tried entering the newpassword and it still does not like it i dont know if it takes a while to reset the account
this all being done as my daughter can only reply to imessages and not start a new message
when she clicks on imessage the screen appears to freeze, also the whole ipod freezes when trying to access the internet (other wi-fi laptops phones are fine)
we have shut down the ipod and restarted we have also shut imessage and reopened and still the same
any help much appreciated thank you
Try restoring her iPod through iTunes. You'll want to backup any data she might have, as the iPod will be restored to Factory Settings. Start the iPod as a new one after it is restored, and set it up as if you have never used it. Then, try using iMessage again.

I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas. How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account? Thanks for any help/
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.

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 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.

The only Apple program that I am aware of is the Recycling Program
http://www.apple.com/recycling/ipod-cell-phone/
where you get 10% off the purchase of a new iPod.
You may get more by selling it yourself on eBay, or by selling it to one of the many tech hardware recyclers, such as gazelle. -
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 1 year limited 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 answerIf 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).

I replaced my ipod touch 2g for a 3g and update it to iOS 5.1.1. I had no problem updating but I also discovered I lost some of my music from reseting my computer. Is there a way I can get my music back? also is there a way I can get my third-party music back?
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.
