Ipod Touch iOS4 update problems

i recently updated my ipod touch to iOS4 software. the only problem is that i cant multi task, and i cant add a picture in the menu screen. so, i decided to search the web for an answer, and it turns out unfortunately, there is currently no help for 3rd gen 8gb and 16gb users (im 8gb). so, i was just wondering whether anyone knew if apple were going to sort out the problem, as it's a bit of a pain. ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! thanks

I'm afraid to say that this is not a bug and won't be fixed.
As reported on the main site .. http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/ios4-software-update.html
1 Not all features are compatible with all devices. For example, multitasking, custom wallpaper, and Bluetooth keyboard support are available only with iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the third-generation iPod touch (32GB and 64GB models from late 2009).
2 Multitasking is available with apps that have been developed to work with iOS 4.

IPod Touch 2G Update Problem from 2.2.1 to 4.2.1

Hi @ all
and at the first, sorry for my bad english.
I have a strange problem with my iPod Touch 2G 32GB.
At the moment there is the version 2.2.1 installed.
When i connect it to the pc, there pop's up a Message,
that there is a new version (4.2.1) available.
Wenn i confirm this, the update process is running,
but after some time, it pop's up an error message.
(Mostly error 1601 or 1604).
AND the iPod is complete dark (only black screen).
No apple logo or itunes connect image, only black.
With some time i get 'blind' in the DFU mode and so
i can recover the Version 2.2.1. All other firmwares
3.x or 4.x do not work. Alway's the same Problems.
I have tested this on different pc systems with the newes
iTunse version and in Recover and DFU Modes with the same
bad results.
What can i do, to install the firmware 4.2.1 on my device ?
I hope someone can help me.
Best regards,
AttNet

Yes, i have do all the things, but with the same result.
I have update a second ipod touch 2g 32GB (from my girlfriend) from
2.2.1 to 4.2.1 without problems.
Only my device have this problem.
I have the newest itunes installed on two different pc systems also with
the same bad results.
I found the following. Before the update is started, the device is
in by example DFU mode. I can see it with usbview on the port.
When an update is running normal, this descriptor is canceld and the
device coms up with an other one (by example iBoot Device)
Then the update start. The first USB connection is ok, and then, this
one is canceld but the second on, don't come up.
itunes wait a long time for it and the ist pop up error 160x message.
For my bad device it work's, when i use an firmware file with version
2.x.x but for all others (3.x and 4.x) the update do not work
(while the second usb descriptor don't comes up).
But this is not an hardware Problem of the device and not from the
pc side. 2.x Versions are running .....
I hope someone has an other idea for me :-(
Best regards and thank you for your reply !

IPod Touch iOS4 update - some features not working

While I was updating my iPod Touch with the new software, and error came up in the middle of it but it was at the part where it was resyncing all applications, music, and movies. I am able to use some of the new features including the app folders and making playlists, but not others like changing the home wallpaper. Is there a way I could redo the software update on my iPod to get the features I'm missing? (I already restored it but it didn't help.)

Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Try:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be 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.
- Next connect to iTunes and update via iTunes. Others have had the same problem.

New iMac with existing iPod Touch (64G) authorization problem

I got a new iMac and transferred everything over to it from my existing iMac using the migration assistant during the first boot-up. When I sync my existing iPod touch (64G 3rd gen) I get stuck in an authorization loop where the Mac says I need to authorize the computer, I do so and then it says the computer is already authorized. New CDs that I have imported into my iTunes library since I bought the new iMac will not load onto the Touch during sync and some (but not all) of the music that I have purchased from iTunes will not play on the iMac. I have already checked to make sure that I have all the recent software updates and I do.
Any idea what is going on and how to solve this frustrating problem?

Deauthorizing and reauthorizing my Mac solved the problem with not being able to sync newly imported CDs with my iPod Touch.
The problem with not being able to access some of my purchased iTunes music is a function of having 2 different iTunes accounts that I bought tunes with. I'll need to contact apple customer service to sort that one out.

I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

He are some apps that are still compatible for iOS 4.2
> Pandora Radio (supports iOS 3 or better)
> Army of Darkness: Defense (support iOS 3 or better)
> Jet Fighters: ONLINE
> Jet Fighters II: ONLINE
These are the apps that I know that supports iOS 4.2...... get these before the their next updates.
Some of these apps may be laggy but still playable.
BUT IF YOU DO UPGRADE TO BETTER IPOD...... I would get the iTouch 4g OR 5g because of iOS 6 and use of camera and better graphics.
