IPod touch missing link

hiya i'm planning to buy a 3rd-gen iPod touch and was reading thru the features and notes on the device.
roughly 6-8 months ago i heard that Apple is releasing an app/firmware update to unlock the dormant FM radio on th iPod touches (and iPhone) but since then we havn't heard of it.
is this true? will we see this feature in the 4.0 update?

only Apple knows.
as per the +terms of use+, speculation on what Apple may or may not do is prohibited.
ps: this site is quite good to get a feel for what's in the making: http://www.macrumors.com/ + http://buyersguide.macrumors.com/.

I have an ipod touch already linked to computer, i want to add another using same email details. i have set up new ipod and it has excatly same music etc as 1st ipod how can i use 1 account but 2 differnt ipods? many thanks.

i have an ipod touch linked to laptop, i now want to add another ipod touch how do i do it using same email etc, but dont want the same apps etc as the first ipod. as it is now i have exactly the same stuff on both ipods. please help.

It's a snap. Each device has its own name. If iTunes does not assign unique names for the two iPods, change one of the names yourself. You can see both my iPad and my iPod simultaneously on my iTunes because I sync wirelessly.
Simply configure the sync characteristics for each device separately. The iTunes software will know the one with which it's communicating.

HELP WITH APPLE ID!! LOST PREVIOUS ACCOUNT TO NEW ONE, AND CANNOT UPDATE APPS!! WAS ALSO CHARGED £2 TO VERIFY CARD!! iPOD TOUCH NOT LINKED TO NEW ACCOUNT

I started my first Apple ID a few years back, at which point Google hadn't changed their email addresses from '@googlemail.com' to 'gmail.com'. So when this option became available, I decided to change my email to '[email protected]', instead of the older and more tedious to write '@googlemail.com'. There were no problems, everything worked as expected.
I've recently changed my password everywhere, and one of the places was my Apple ID. I was taken to the site: "https://appleid.apple.com" where I found the 'Manage my account' link. I successfully changed my password.
The 'Apple ID and Primary Email Address' caught my eye. It had always frustrated me that my Apple ID was the "old" email address from Google... and previous attempts to change this proved unsuccessful. It always stated that the (newer) '[email protected]' was already in use, which I put down to it being the same Google account. But this time it seemed to work. I received an email saying "Welcome to the iTunes Store", and since then I've had non-stop problems.
At first I though that the only problem was going to be that I couldn't download/update apps on my iPod touch, or download anything on the iPod's 'iTunes' store. I've managed to link my new account with the iPod so that I can download new apps on it, but every time I go to update an app, it automatically assumes that the Apple ID is my old account: '[email protected]'. I thought that this would be fine, just a minor inconvenience, that I could go to my computer, update the apps there, then sync the iPod and everything would be dandy.
I looked around and found myself at the IFORGOT site of Apple's. I've tried having an email sent to the 'older' Apple ID '[email protected]', but no email has come through, and I also tried the other option of answering security questions... the first thing it asks is your date of birth, and as far as I know, I only have one of those. However, it told me my DOB was incorrect. My old account no longer seems to exist!!
I tried updating the apps on my computer for the first time today, went to the 'Apps' tab on the left of iTunes and clicked the link saying '131 Updates Available'. This took me to the iTunes store as always, but when it had finished loading, it read: "No updates are currently available. To check for updates for another Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID."
Because all of the apps I downloaded were on my old Apple account, none of them exist as far as my new account is concerned. My old account no longer exists, so I have no option to sign in to that and update them. My collection of apps is far too large for me to even consider just downloading them all again! As well as apps not existing, my iPod touch is not linked to my new Account. I understand I could restore my it so that it would then be linked to it, but actually, I don't want to have to arrange the homescreen again, and re-connect to all the WiFi connections I've already made. Those are all saved in the backup that is updated when it is synchronised.
Someone please help!! I don't know what to do, and I don't know how to get hold of Apple!!
Thanks for reading.

That is way too much to read.
Why did you start a new account?
You apps and other purchases will always be tied to the accoutn from which they were purchased. You will have to update them using the user id and password on the accoutn from which they were purchased.
The charge was very likley a authorization hold and will be removed.

Ipod touch missing: how to block apps store

My ipod touch has gone missing, probably stolen. Mobileme is activated but can't locate it.
I've only ever bought one app from the apps store and I can't remember if you have to enter a password to buy apps. Is it possible for the person who has it to buy apps using my account on the ipod?

Yu need to enter you iTunes password to buy apps. If you purchase more apps within ten minute or so after entering your password you will not have to enter it again (your password is still valid for ten minutes). However, you should still change the password for all accounts used on the iPod.

Ipod Touch Missing Default Apps

So I recently decided to upgrade to the 3.0 firmware for my ipod and everything was going great until I went to the home screen and noticed that my "Photo's, Notes, Nike+iPod, Mail, Contacts, Stocks, Weather, Calculator, and Clock" apps were missing. I authorized and deauthorized, but didn't work. So I restored and reinstalled everything, but still nothing worked.
If anyone could help me find a solution that would be great.

It's impossible to delete those kind of app, maybe you have to restore your iPod touch. My theory is that your firmware file is corrupted or theres a major bug in the Firmware but it seemed that your are the only one experienced it.

Syncing issues with iPod Touch - missing albums & artwork

What do you do when you have synced your whole library but some albums/songs haven't transferred? Then when you try a second time, ALL artwork disappears from the iPod Touch? I daren't try syncing again as I don't know what's going to disappear next.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

IPod Touch Missing! HELP!

I have no idea where my iPod Touch is, is there any way to find it? Can I track it? SOmeone might have stolen it, but I highly doubt that. It could be in my house somewhere... but I think I lost it at my friends house, because that's where I remember having it last, but she says she can't find it. Please help!!!
Thanks

Unless you installed and setup Find My Phone you cannot track it. Report to the police, insurance company, go search for it.

IPod touch - changing linked apple ID

Can I change the apple ID on an iPod touch without losing associated apps and iTunes purchases?

Yes, just go to Settings>iTunes and App stopres (or just Store) and sing out and sign back in with other ID.
Just Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

Apps Icon on Ipod Touch Missing

My apps icon is not on my home screen, No Apps tab for sync on itunes either, need help

If the Apps option is missing in iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>General and check the Apps box to show them. You should see it then.
Also, make Restrictions are turned off in your iPod's Settings. You can find it by heading to Settings -> General -> Restrictions. That might be why your Apps Store icon is missing.
Has your iPod been jailbreaked? I don't believe you can delete the Apps Store icon normally. The other thing is you can only show 11 screens - do you have more than that?

Please advise on the best way to obtain a manual for my new iPod Touch.

IPOD Touch has stopped being recognised on my computer

My iPOD Touch has linked to my iTunes sucessfully for a year or two until last week when it stopped being recognised. It is recognised when I plug it into my daughter's computer, and when I did this the iPOD software successfully updated.
Also my other daughter's iPOD Nano is recognised on MY computer.
I have re-installed iTunes and updated all USB drivers but problem persists.
The iPOD does appear as a connected peripheral on my computer.
I have tried re-setting/restoring the iPOD Touch. It has only gone into Restore mode a couple of times and iTunes starts downloading. However, nothing happens subsequently except an Apple Mobile Device has stopped working message appears.
Can anyone help?
John

I have now removed and re-installed every piece of Apple Software on my laptop. I assume this would result in the drivers being re-installed.
However, when I plug the iPOD in a message comes up 'Installing Device Drivers'. Then a message comes up that they are installed successfully, but it does also say 'Searching folders for preconfigured drivers...'. After 10 mins I assumed this did not mean anything and closed the window.
It is not convenient for me to check the other computer's drivers. Anyway, the iPOD used to work on this computer. The only thing I have done on this computer re device drivers is to start using a USB mouse (which installed drivers) and I also checked them all for updates. Only the Intel ones updated.
Needless to say the iPOD is still unrecognised in iTunes.
Any further help much appreciated.
John
