IPod Touch - OS 3.0 - language switched to Greek

Updated to 3.0. After the update everything on the iPod Touch is in the Greek language. The word "language" does not appear in the 3.0 user guide. Everything during the installation purchase and installation process was set to English. How do I set it back to English?

I assigned my 14 year old son to read the user manual. It is under the "General" settings, Chapter 18 of the user guide: "General" "International" then "Language." If you don't read Greek, or Japanese or Chinese, it is still possible. We just kept clicking forward in the different arrows until the language "English" appeared. It took some patience and persistence. Hopefully this will work for everything else in language they cannot read:
1. From the home page, click the image with the gears, the "Settings" button.
2. On the next page, click the image with the gears again on the next page (should be the 3rd image down) - this is the "General" button.
3. On the next page, click the button text that is 2nd from the bottom. This is the "International" button.
4. On the next page, click the very top button. This is the "Language" button.
5. On the next page, click "English" (it should be the top button.
Hope this works for everyone else who has this problem!

  • HELP. Ipod Touch 3rd gen won't switch on after updating to OS 4

    So here's the thing. I tried to download and install the new OS 4 (i think i had iOS 3.1 before) to my Ipod Touch 3rd gen. Since it was taking a bit too long, i left it hooked up to the laptop for an hour to do some errands. When I got back, the laptop was on standby mode. I checked Itunes and it had this prompt saying update failed or an error occurred (#1602 I think but I don't know what it meant that time). I then checked my Ipod Touch and it was switched off. So we figured maybe the battery got drained while we were gone and tried to plug it via AC charge for 10 minutes. Nothing happened. I tried to hook it up to the laptop, no luck there either. The charger worked fine for an Ipod video we also have. I'm scouring the webs for what to do, Im getting worried. hope someone can help me in this. Thank you.
    (and additional question. I'm here in the Philippines right now but this Ipod Touch was my sister's, I think she bought this last year in the US. She just sent it to me this month. So if I take this to the local Apple store, can they do something about my problem? Assuming I cant fix anything by tomorrow. Thanks again folks.)

    First I would charge it for an hour and then:
    - Have you tried resetting the iPod:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    - Next would be to place the ipod n recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

  • Problems after downloading the lastest version of iTunes for my iPod Touch. Now whenever I switch on my laptop and access the internet I get an error message. 2nd time this has happened and I'm fed up trying to fix it. Anybody having similar problems?

    I've downloaded iTunes 10.5 onto my iPod Touch, no problems but I've now got a constant error message on my laptop everytime I switch it on and access the internet. The message is "The procedure entry point xmlTextReaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll"
    This is the 2nd time this has happened. Last time iTunes Support called and we ran through a load of checks to no avail. The only option was to delete iTunes completely off my laptop and go for a new download of it. Can anybody tell me how to do it - didn't write it down last time, silly me, never thought it would happen again. Also sent an email to iTunes Support - waiting for a response.

  • IPod Touch boots in foreign language - why?

    Why does my presumably new iPod Touch 3rd gen 32 GB boot up in Danish? The first time it did this I thought I had inadvertently changed the language selection (although I couldn't understand how this could happen). I restored the factory settings via iTunes and the next boot was again in Danish. I have since changed to English the Touch is functioning fine, but it seems like strange behavior for an item purchased as new.
    Any other similar experiences? Any explanations? Is this a returned item, "grey market" item, other, etc.?
    Thanks.

    I've no idea how your Touch ended up this way; only your Apple Store can tell for sure.
    To bring your Touch back to English, start up your Touch, go to General/Settings/International (or words that look like that in Danish), and select English. If you don't have a video, this might help a little... Excuse the blur:

  • What is the factory setting pin code for my ipod touch?

    im looking to make a purchase in app on my ipod touch and i need to switch off the restrictions under general settings. in order to this i need the pin code which is 4 digits. this must be factory set as ive not set it previously.
    thanks

    A: what is the factory setting pin code for my ipod touch?

    There is no default setting. You have to set the passcodes. If you cannot remember them, then see:
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
    Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
    Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
    Follow these steps to restore your device:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
    Connect your device to your computer.
    Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
    Select the Summary tab.
    Select the Restore option.
    When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not necessary to create another.
    Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up, you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
    When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple logo while starting up:

  • Ipod Touch Apple does not disappear

    I have Ipod touch 32GB and when i switch it on, it does not go past the Apple logo. When i connect to my PC, it does not get detected by Windows and by iTunes. Is there a way of restoring the factory settings to such a device?

    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.

  • How do I switch through the English and Spanish keyboards on my ipod touch while I am typing instead of stopping and going into settings?

    I went into settings and added the Spanish keyboard on to my ipod touch. But here's the thing. If I have the keyboard in English, while I am typing I can't use any Spanish because it wants to correct all my words and turn them into English words, and this happens vice versa when typing in Spanish and it makes corrections in English. When I type I am constantly switching back and forth between Spanish and English. Is there any way to change the keyboard language while I am at the typing screen? For example on my Samsung Galaxy 4g, all I have to do when I want to switch languages is swipe my finger on the space bar key from left to right. That way I don't have to stop writing, go into the phone settings and find the language and switch it, slowing me down considerably because I would have to stop every few minutes.  Is there no way to do something like this on my ipod touch??

    Use the Globe key.  Hold it down and you will get a list, or just hit it to switch.
    The Globe key should appear if you have more than one keyboard chosen in settings.

  • Multi-language support for iPod Touch keyboard

    "There might be an app for that" sounds good, but trying to find anything on the Apple site is a nightmare. I'm simply looking for a multi-language touch keyboard application for my iPod Touch.
    I type quite a bit in German and need to easily switch between English (Qwerty) and German keyboards.
    Does anyone know of an App for this? If so, could you please post the URL?
    Thanks

    It's built in to your iPod Touch. See page 30 of the User Guide.
