Ipod Touch & Reading

Could someone that does extensive reading on the Ipod Touch tell me if its do-able or tedious after a while.
That would be one of the main feature for my purchase.
Thank you.

If you like reading, tedious should not be in the question.
If you are aiming at reading in general, yes it is do-able. Safari, email, and other apps that take advantage of pinch-zooming allows reading to be easy. If you are referring to reading eBooks specifically, yes it is also do-able. This is coming from someone that hasn't read a book with the objective to complete it (reports, essays, research, etc.) I started back after the 10-year-gap of reading for fun.
There are apps that you have to pay for as mentioned in the other posts, but I currently use Stanza. I've been reading The Art of War by Sun Tzu since I bought my iPod Touch 3 weeks ago. I plan to expand my summer reading where most of my time will be free using iPod. I would have bought the paperback version of the book but that would require me to find it and carry it along constantly. With the iPod, I always have it with me and can add books on the fly over a wifi connection.
Hope this adds value to your thoughts about reading on the iPod Touch.

Try restting the iPOd. It cures many ills and nothing is 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.
Were there apps in the App store before?
What country's store are you using?

IPod Touch read as a webcam by my computer?

I've taken my iPod to work this week and have been charging it on my computer there. This morning I've downloaded some music and when I plugged in the iPod to sync, it comes up as "new hardware found - webcam," followed by "there's a problem installing your webcam." Did plugging it in at work (Windows 7) mess up some settings? The computer there read it as an Apple device.

Whoops--never mind. A miracle occurred. It works now.

Find my ipod touch (read inside)

I know there is iCloud but ipod is too old. is there an app or some other way to find 2nd gen if I misplace it? I don't think I will misplace it but after misplacing it today, I wanna prevent misplacing it again.

I assume that the Skype app will work on a 2G iPod. If so, set it up on your computer and your iPod. Then you can call it and it will ring if it is in range of your router. Alternatively, get a texting app that rings when it receives a message.

Read PDF on iPod Touch

Is it possible to read PDF files on the Touch ? and how ? (does a Mac software exist? or will exist?)

Yes, and sometimes you can even view PDFs that will crash Preview on a MacPro.
Try it for yourself (dl, open in preview - not in browser as that's Acrobat) - http://sberube.net/SimonBerubePortfolio.pdf
I don't know why, but my Acrobat Pro PDF crashes Preview and is fine in iPod touch.

I have been having some issues with my iPod touch. I can't transfer songs that I have purchased on my iPod into my iTunes library. Please help!

I have been having a lot of issues with my iPod touch. Whatever I purchase on my iPod I can't seem to transfer it to my iTunes library. If something should happen to my iPod, I wouldn't want to lose all of the music I have purchased. I can't upgrade it either because a box pops up that says everything will be erased from my iPod... I need help!

Might be an authorization issue in iTunes. Try deauthorizing your computer through the Store menu at the top of iTunes and then authorizing it again. Once that is done try transferring purchases from the iPod Touch.

How do I activate a used iPhone 3 with no SIM card for use as an ipod touch?

How do I activate a used iPhone 3G with no SIM card for use like an iPod Touch? It was apparently on AT&T previously and I have another iPhone 3 that is active on AT&T if that is helpful. Thanks!

Copied from the link provided.
Follow these steps to use your iPhone without a wireless service plan:
Insert the SIM card from your new, activated iPhone or one that was previously used to activate the original iPhone.
Connect the iPhone to iTunes on a computer connected to the Internet.
Once iTunes activates the device, you're free to use the iPhone as if it were an iPod touch.

IPod Touch 4th Gen starts from the same song

I recently updated my iPod Touch 4th gen, 32 GB to iOS 6.1.2, from 5.1.1. I skipped iOS 6.0, 6.0.1, 6.0.2, 6.1, and 6.1.1. After the update, I noticed that when I play music from my "All Music" list, my iPod always starts on the same song, no matter what song I listened to last. Sometimes it starts at a song that's farther down the list, but I haven't been able to figure out what circumstances caused it to start at that song. To make things more confusing, once it chooses a different song, it always starts from that song.
I have confirmed that Shuffle and Repeat are both OFF. This issue occurs whether I have recently charged/synced my iPod or not. It also occurs after I perform a hard restart on the iPod. I have not tried restoring it, because I have not had time to dedicate the several hours it would take to re-install iOS and copy all of my stuff back onto it.
My computer is running Windows 7, 32-bit. My iTunes is version 11.0.2.26.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and if anyone has questions relating to this issue, I'd be happy to answer them.

I didn't mention this in my initial post because I didn't think it was relevant, but the Home button on my iPod doesn't work. I've been using the virtual home button provided by turning Assistive Touch on.
I did try the first solution you suggested, but nothing happened. I'll make another post when I try the second method.
On a side note, and if it makes any difference, the device in question is not a phone. It's an iPod Touch.

When trying to restore and update my ipod touch it comes up with an error message saying: "The ipod can not be restored this device isnt eligible for the requested build"

When trying to restore and update my ipod touch it comes up with an error message saying: "The ipod can not be restored this device isnt eligible for the requested build" How do i fix this?

I am having the same issue. I just had the battery replaced at a third party store. The battery powers the ipod up but it needs to be restored. It is saying it isn't eligible for rebuild. I am running MAC OS 10.4.11 itunes v. 9.0 and I just want it to be restored. I need help. Oh and its an 8 gb ipod touch.

How can my wife and I trading iPod Touches?

My wife has generously agreed to trade iPod Touches with me after the headphone jack on mine has broken and now only plays the right channel. Don't worry, she literally never listens to music on it. She does however have applications and notes and settings for her mobile me account and we'd rather not lose them. Is there any way just to swap the music, data, apps and settings between the two devices?

Back up each device in iTunes and then restore each device with the the opposite backup, your's to have your wife's and hers to have have your back up. It basically clones the iPod touch.

I have an iPod Touch and am going on a cruise where I have been told that I won't be able to use Safari so I should download Firefox. I found "Mercury Web Browser" Firefox at the app store. Is this what I need? I'm leaving on Sept. 3rd.

I have an iPod Touch and am going on a cruise where I have been told that Safari won't work on the ship so I need to download Firefox. My iPod said that Safari cna't download it from the Firefox website. I found "Mercury Web Browser" Firefox, in the app store (free) and am wondering if that is what I need? Help, I'm leaving on Sept. 3/12. Thanks.

- I never heard that but it may be true. It could be that for some reason Safari can't be used to log into the network. Once logged in, Safari should work fine
- However, I see nothing that say the Mercury Web Browser is Firefox. I would contact the cruise line and ask if and how you use the ship's['s wifi for an iPhone or iPad (it will apply to iPod touch)

On my ipod touch 4g, i have the app of Flashlight Ⓞ. when i try to use it, it says "camera led light is not supported due to your hardware limitation. screen light with maximum brightness will be used instead." I really want to use the app

please help asap!

The Flashlight App is for the iPhone (and iPad). It is not made for the iPod touch.

ITunes Not Recognizing my iPod Touch after Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

After upgrading from Tiger (10.4.x) to Leopard (10.5.0=>10.5.6), my iPod Touch is no longer recognized by iTunes 8.0.2. The iPod Touch no longer appears in iTunes' "source list" (left side pane in iTunes' GUI).
Immediately prior to that upgrade, my iPod Touch was working great with Tiger (10.4.x). iTunes 8.0.2 recognized it (listed it in sources) and always synchronized with it successfully.''
My iPod Touch is also not shown in the Finder. However, it does show up as recognized in iPhoto.
Any ideas on how to get the iPod recognized again in iTunes under Leopard?

Thanks to a posting by Jim in a different Apple Discussions (forum), my problem is now resolved. Read on for the details.
iPods & Finder. Some other postings incorrectly lead me to believe that the iPod would show up in the "Finder". Jim's posting set me straight on this.
iTunes Not Recognizing iPod Touch. Prior to Jim's posting, I had already read the article that Jim referenced (to remove and reinstall the Apple Mobile Device Service per article "http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1747").
Prior to Jim's posting, I had also read other articles in various "Apple Discussions" (forums) that suggested this recognition problem could be resolved by uninstalling/re-installing iTunes 8.0.2. Some implied that you could just re-install iTunes 8.0.2 right over the currently installed one without bothering to uninstall it.
Based on those postings, I "gambled" last night and simply downloaded and re-installed iTunes 8.0.2 (without uninstalling it first). I noticed during the installation that the Apple Mobile Device agent was also re-installed. Well, my gamble paid off! After the installation (and a reboot?), iTunes onces again RECOGNIZED my iPod Touch.

IPod touch apps don't appear in iTunes app

My iTunes account used to purchase apps (I always do this on the iPod itself) does not show my apps when I am in iTunes on my computer (using same acct; I double-checked). I have nine pages of apps on the iPod, so I do not want to have to download them again to my computer from the apps store as suggested by people who updated to newer version and lost their apps. Any suggestions? When I connect my iPod to my computer, does the sync apps only work in one direction--computer to iPod? I am afraid to sync for fear of losing all my apps. Thank you for any help you can give me. bjfritz

Any applications downloaded directly to iPod touch are automatically backed up to your iTunes library when you sync.
If you don't trust the automatic system, open iTunes, press and hold Command+Option while connecting your iPod touch to your computer until you see iPod touch appear in the iTunes sidebar. This will prevent automatic syncing. Then use the iTunes File menu -> Transfer Purchases from XXX's iPod Touch.
