IPod Touch - installer.app (Issues anyone?)

Hi everyone, just picked up my 16gb iPod Touch yesterday. Surfed around a couple of iPod Touch / iPhone forums to find that alot of applications are available for installation onto our devices.
I've also been reading about how apple is disabling the use or removing installer.app if it's installed on the iPod Touch / iPhone.
My question is, has anyone been experiencing any issues with installer.app installed or do you guys anticipate the applications that you installed with installer.app or similar installation application to render the iPod Touch into a "Brick" with the next update through iTunes?
Thanks in advance for your input.

You can't install any third-party stuff on an iPod touch (yet). The hackers haven't managed to get into it yet.
All the apps you've seen are for pre v1.1.1 firmware iPhones.

IPod Touch January Apps issue.

I decided to restore my iPod Touch today to its original firmware (I had it 1.1.4 Jailbroke)because I am going to purchase the 2.0 F/W when it's released.Everything (iPod Touch wise) works just fine.Issue is,I bought the January iPhone Apps when I first got my iPod touch,and the apps have been on there ever since.But as soon as I go to restore my iPod today,the apps do not show up....Whats going on?
Is it because the January Apps are no longer on iTunes for now,or what?I've tried having it auto sync,and even uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes...Nothing works...Any help would bne appretiated,thanks.

Well, that's because you can't use another person's copy of the software. The download is registered to your friends iTunes account and cannot be transferred to you whether or not you authorise or de-authorise your computer.
You should've made a backup of your copy of the .ipa file after purchasing it, as that is the only copy that will work with your iTunes account.
Do you still have access to the old PC that you purchased the apps on? If so, copy your copy of the .ipa file to your new PC.

IPod Touch / iPhone app "Remote"

Does anyone else attempt to use this to remote control your AppleTV ?
I was full of expectation when I went through the hassles of setting up an iTunes account on my junk email address (and without having to submit my credit card details - sorry, call me luddite, but I like to buy my music albums and movies and tv series on optical media, usually for less than iTunes is charging).
Then I find that the iPod Touch remote will only show iTunes purchased movies and tv shows, and not the "shared", personal movies / tv shows. Anyone with children of their own will understand, I have hundreds of home movie clips I want available.
I guess the "networking" between the iMovie and iDVD departments and the AppleTV department is broken, and has been since Take 2 was planned.

This must be where I'm going wrong.
I have nothing synced - all turned off when I setup after the "update" to Take 2. I previously had all my TV shows (including all my home movies) sync'd but the wireless speed is so fast and reliable I've gone back to stream everything.
I have only the one library ("Mac Pro Library") connected at the Apple TV. To play anything not purchased from iTunes, I have to select "Shared Movies" (or Shared TV Shows, etc), the "My Movies" shows nothing, presumably because I don't sync anything.
Are you saying that I could change some setting to get the whole streamed library content through the "My Movies" (or My TV Shows, etc) menu, and therefore possibly through the iPod Touch "Remote" app ?
I'm also a little miffed that the "Shared Movies" are not sorted by the "Sort Name" in iTunes in Take 2 v2.1. Apple TV v1.0 didn't sort by sort name either, but v1.1 did.
I factory restored to v1.0. Do I miss Take 2 ? LOL. I might use it if there was one good thing about it. Or it offered me some flexible access to my own content. Is there anything WOW I'm missing ?

Yeah, i found the file 'iPod touch app pack 4a93.ipa' in mobile application directory, which directory in Mac should i copy to? Is it \user\<name>\music\iTunes ?
Hi,
I think that is the old "January update", I'm not so sure it is necessary to transfer that one but it would go here -
~/Library/iTunes/Mobile Applications
Look here for the latest 2.0 etc. updates -
C:\Documents and Settings\"name"\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
Even then I'm not sure even these are required but best back them up to be safe.
I'm not sure where the go in Mac OS X though.
I'm sure someone will let us know soon.

IPod Touch New Apps. Button Missing

Where has the button gone to buy the iPod Touch software app. update/upgrade in iTunes? Thank you

ITMS gives me a choice between "Remind Me Later" and "No Thanks"
Maybe they're reconsidering the price.

HT4623 When i try to download apps this message comes up. This app is incompatible with this Ipod Touch, this app requires OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics capability. can i up grade my ipod to OpenGL ES 2.0, or do i have to buy a new one?

Correct. That error indicates you have a 2G iPod. You say you have an 8 GB 3G iPod there is not such thing. Apple only made 32 and 64 GB 3G iPods. You have a 2G iPod.

Ipod Touch (2g) Transfer Issues

I'm on Windows 7 RTM, when it comes to moving content from my PC to my IPod I have no issues, everything transfers just fine.
When transferring content from my ipod to my pc however, there are constant issues with the transfer freezing and what appears to be the driver for ipod simply 'locks' or similar.
This is an example of what happens:
I connect my ipod, load up itunes
I goto 'Transfer Purchases' as I've just bought some songs
It begins transferring the purchases lets say it transfers 1 file completely
During the next file the bar will freeze at some point
On my Ipod itself the 'sync' message dissapears as if the Ipod was no longer plugged into the computer, the computer and itunes application still think my Ipod is plugged in, even if I were to disconnect it.
It should also be noted that, after this occurs itunes does not start, and ultimately to get functionality back I must restart the computer.
I'm wondering if anyone has encountered similar issues and knows how to correct this?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Try on another computer
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs and restore via iTunes:

Can't select "bank card" type when applying account on iPod Touch's APP store.

First It's iPod Touch 2nd Generation Version 4.2.1
At the very biginning, I used iTunes store on iPod to apply for new account,
but it didn't let me select which card I 'm using (aka Vise, Mastercard...) on touch screen, so I searched online for solutions and found it on http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534
I thought I could solve the problem by instead applying on APP store and choosing "None" of the bank listed like the page instructed me to. But regrettably, it didn't let me interact with that bank selecting part again, though on the guide page sample pictures show it can be done. On my iPod that part just wouldn't react unlike what was shown on guide page.
BTW, my iPod Touch is 2nd Generation and its IOS Simplified-Chinese version (I wonder if the problem lies between either 2 of the cases), Does anyone know what's the issue here?

See:

IPod touch 4G battery issue with iOs5...battery goes dry in less than a day after upgrading to iOs 5...why is that?

hi people out there...!
I have an iPod Touch 4G purchased on november 2010, and since then until two days ago, I had iOs 4.3.x and everything went very good about battery charge...I used to have my iPod on standby mode for several days, and never had a trouble with it...
but two days ago, I upgraded to iOs 5, and then and there, the troubles began...my battery lasts no more than a day, even on standby mode...
NO wifi on, NO bluetooth on, no movies watched, no games played, just using Virtuoso Piano free app for minutes...
is the new iOs 5 having trouble about managing battery?
anyone of you have same trouble?
anyone of you know about a solution?
I was searching on the web about this issue, and several comments I've found out, but I would like to know about it from the Apple themselves...
thanks for your time people...Light to all of us...!!!

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Admittedly the labeling is hard to read but, if you use a magnifier and squint your eyes, you'll see "Output 5.1V, 2.1A." The symbol between volts and amps is the symbol for DC. Do NOT use an iPhone charger. Do NOT use an iPod charger. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the exact procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter..
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know whether or not a battery problem exists.
According to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
I'm not saying that you don't have a problem. However, I am saying that we don't know.

IPod Touch to OS4 - Issue

I've read a few topics where people have had either issues after upgrade or said it went smoothly but I can't seem to find anything on this. I have an iPod touch and an iPhone. The upgrade to the new OS on my iPhone was smooth as silk. It went quickly, did it's thing... beautiful! The upgrade on my iPod touch however...
There isn't much on this iPod other than apps but when it goes to start the backup process, after 30 minutes, the progress bar has a tiny little sliver. I've canceled it at this point because my husband wants his iPod back but anyone have a clue what's going on here?

Mine took rather a while (it's a second generation one). I left it over night & it was fine the following morning.
