IPod Touch set to push, still have to open app for it to retrieve mail
It seems to me that setting my iPod Touch to push mail from the server should do just that. I don't expect to have to open the Mail app to know whether or not I actually have mail. I want to be able to look at the icon on the screen before opening the app just to find out, oh, I don't actually have any new mail yet.
Is this working as intended, or is my Mail app bugged?
If its not mobile me email account then you need to go to the me.com web page and login to your mobileme account.
Then click on the email icon
You will see a cog wheel with an arrow about 3/4 along the top of the screen
Click preferences and get it to check your other pop3 email accounts. Then it forwards these to your .mac /.me email address & will push them to your iphone/ipod touch.
The site says "After you have configured an external POP account, a link to check mail for this account will appear below your folders in the left pane of .Mac Mail. When you click this link, any new messages the account has received are delivered to the .Mac Mail destination folder you specified."
Hope this helps!
Unfortunately there is no way to set up "reply to:" for your personal domain email addresses as yet.... so I, for one, will be sticking to Blackberry email for a while yet. Sob.

hi i dont have a wifi broadband n i just bought the new ipod touch can anyone tell me how 2 download apps for my ipod without using wifi
Download the apps on your syncing computer and then sync to the iPod. Note that you can only sync apps for the one syncing computer you use with the iPod. You can manage music and videos among different computer.

My Ipod touch is saying that i have to reset it for some reason, none of my things were backed. HELP
This morning I was having trouble with my Faceebook app so I delleted it and added it again. Well the new one wasn't loading so i turned my iPod Touch off hopefully dooing the trick like it usually does. Well NO, it didn't. My iPod stayed at the same turning off screeen for a long time. I soon pluged it into the charger as another posssibility of maybe it working. Nope, that didn't work either. When I looked at it soon after there was a new screen, telling me to plug my iPod into iTunes. I did accordingly ad well it told me that my iPod Touch is in Recovery mode, I have not a clue to why. Right after that it tell me that I must retore my iPod beffore I can use it with iTunes. Why is this happening??? IfI restore it will I loose EVERYTHING, SOMETHINGS, or what?? I have a lot of tuff on my iPod that I didn't sink up to my acount with. What do I do in order not to loose everything, and if I do, can I get my $$ back to rebuy everything?? PLEASE HELPPPPPPPP
If it is already in Recovery Mode, anything you have not backed up to your computer is gone...

If I get a new iPod touch from Amazon, will it have the new apps?
If I order a new iPod touch from Amazon.com today will it have the new apps? Or will Apple recgonize its new and download them for me for free? Just wondering because I don't want to buy a new one and then get stuck without the apps. Thanks
I'm in the same boat. I have $300 in Amazon gift cards for buying an iPod touch, but found this statement on the product page:
"Does not ship with the latest announced new software applications for the Touch. Software upgrades are available via iTunes for $20"
The 16GB Touch sells for $358.99, which is 2% lower than it was the day before the Keynote. I have a feeling Amazon may have a glut of them before the announcement and will wait to see if Apple even sells them to Amazon for resell. -

i have an 8GB ipod touch and suddenly I'm able to access only the "sent" mailbox of Mail and not the other mailboxes. I turned on and off. I connected it to MacBook but still I can't access the other mailboxes.
- Try resetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: 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.
- Can you access the mail on another device? -
I upraded some of my apps on my ipod touch, and one of them, my candy crush app is messed up, couldn't connect to facebook. tried re-installing it, same thing happened. now i have to start from the begining again, which really *****!! please help!!
There is nothing wrong with the OS update.
Delete ALL your email accounts.
Restart Playbook
Put the accounts back and ensure they are all set with PUSH ON. Manual (push off) will burn battery.
Similarly delete your wifi connections and add back when required.
Turn off wifi is not connected to wifi.
Any "hunting for connection" in email or wifi will burn up battery. -
I have just restored my ipod touch after being disabled. Now it is asking for the passcode? I still cant remember the passcode. How do I go past this?
You'll have connect in recovery mode and set it up "as new ipod" http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
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 and iPod touch software.
If the issue continues after updating and restoring your device, refer to this document.

I recently purchased songs from my iphone. All good... But I then went to put them on my ipod touch. They seemed to have downloaded but the songs wont play and the song title/the text, appears in a grey colour and there is a downlaod symbol in front of the song title. what do i do next?? They play on my iphone and from the itunes library but not from my ipod touch.
If the songs are still on your ipod, make sure autosync is disabled in iTunes on your computer, connect and right click on it in the device list, then choose "transfer purchases" to copy all bought media and apps from your ipod to your computer.
If the songs are not on your computer and got deleted from your ipod as well, you can't get them back, unless you have a backup of your iTunes library as part of your computer backup. -
As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?

- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
