IPod Touch w/ Software Upgrade, Minor Issue

I just returned the iPod touch 16g I purchased from Best Buy and got myself the correct version this time, the 8g with the software upgrade, they were out of the 16g. Anyways, it works fine, most of the timer, half to unplug and replug it in everytime I want to transfer a video file but I'm wondering why there isn't an automatic shutoff with the Touch since the original iPod has it included?
It's kind of ****** that Apple would release these firmware updates and not include automatic shutoff with the darned thing.

Do you mean like a sleep timer??
Regards

  • Purchasing iPod Touch January Software Upgrade help

    Alright, I'm trying to get the software upgrade for my iPod Touch 1.1.4. The screen tells me that if my iPod is connected to disconnect and reconnect after that I go to the bottom of the page and click okay and it just sends me to the iTunes Store main page. I've tried clicking okay then disconnecting and bringing up the page but nothing seems to let me purchase the software upgrade. Any help is appreciated.

    I am encountering exactly the same thing. I had the upgrade and when using Notes the program locked up and returned to the iPod Touch desktop. Notes was now unusable. So I reset the iPod, installed 1.1.4, reinstalled iTunes. Tried everything a few times and kept getting the same pattern, from the web site to the iTunes January update page, then from there back to the homepage of iTunes.
    It is like it doesn't recognize that 1.1.4 does not have the upgrade. Something is buggy. Hopefully with the next update it will work because it doesn't now.

  • IPod touch attempted software upgrade now won't work

    Purchased used iPod touch 8gig USB connect to iTunes on my g4. Gave me a software update choice which I accepted, then after several attempts will no longer show in iTunes and keeps the USB to iTunes logo only on iPod. Any fix? I know the local apple store will want more than a new one. Any suggestions?

    Other users of 1G iPod (or any iPod with iOS 3.x) have experienced the same problem within the last couple of days. It appears that Apple updated the App store website to cause this problem. For the time being you just have to download them to your computer and sync them to your iPod.

  • IPhone 2.0 firmware for iPod Touch with Software Upgrade

    Okay, don't get me wrong... I don't think Apple should always give everything away for free. But since I already spent my precious $20 back in January for the Software Upgrade, I should DEFINITELY get the $10 2.0 FW update for free since it INCLUDES the software I already purchased! Apple... ya listening??!!??

    i COMPLETELY agree with you. i mean the math alone reveals the nonsense. i will be spending approx. $30 for the two upgrades, while plenty of people will be getting the EXACT same package for only $10! it's almost like we're being punished for purchasing early. what gives?

  • Download problem with iPod Touch January software update

    Hi, some problems with the software update. Please advise
    - Ipod Touch user from australia
    - went for holidays in malaysia for a while and purchased the software update via itunes australia
    - The download did not start but i was charged $25AUD
    - Returned to australia, attempted the download again but failed because itunes stated that the update has already been downloaded.
    - Attempted to update the iPod Touch by clicking on "Check for Update" but software has already been updated to the current version (1.1.3).
    - The new applications did not appear on iPod Touch.
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi pdra05,
    Do you manually manage your music?
    iTunes has to sync to unlock the January software, manually manage music has to be deselected.
    Make sure your content on your ipod is backed up before sync.

  • Ipod touch *3.0software upgrade  *$59-apple care

    1. Is the 3.0 software upgrade, have issues?; and/or is it worth $9.95 cost.
    2. I've usually purchased apple care for my macs; is it a good idea for the iPod Touch? **your thoughts
    (just recently purchased iPod Touch)
    Thanks

    If you search the forums, you'll see some of the problems people are having with updating to 3.0. Only you can decide if it is worth the 9.95 by checking out the features. Keep in mind that developers will probably (eventually) start making their apps compatible with the newer OS.
    Ask yourself if you'd be willing to spend the $$ to repair and/or replace your iPod Touch if necessary. I'd probably purchase the Apple Care. The time slipped by for me, but should something happen to my 1G Touch, I would use the opportunity to replace it with a newer version with more capacity.

  • Significant Volume Reduction on Ipod Touch 3GS after upgrading to IOS 4.2

    Hi everyone. I just would like to ask why there is a significant decrease of sound volume after my ipod touch 3GS was upgraded from 3.1 to IOS 4.2. Settings are the same and I haveven't changed anything, so I'm pretty sure its a software issue. Is there a way now to increase or recover the volume? I am planning to downgrade it back (if it is still possible) just to get back the huge volume of ipod touch 3.1. Thanks in advance guys.

    I have had the same problem. I have put the same song on my standard Ipod and also my Itouch and the volume on the touch is considerabely lower when it plays through the Apple plug. When I play music through Pandora the volume is higher than the music that is uploaded. This has only happened since I updated to OS4. Any idea how to help with this?

  • Ipod Touch 3.0 Upgrade problems

    Hi there;
    I've found a few similar problems out there on the forum, but none that contain a solution that has helped.
    Basically I tried to upgrade my 2nd generation ipod touch from software version 2.2 to the new 3.0. On my main box pc, on which I have used Itunes for ages, I first upgraded to Itunes 8.2.0.23 and then I was further prompted to upgrade my ipod software to version 3.0.
    The download went fine, but on installing the upgrade the ipod locked on the Apple screen (no progress bar) and I was presented with a window saying the update had failed. When going back to Itunes I was told that my ipod was in recovery mode and needed to be restored. After a further long period staring at an Apple, I get an error saying the Ipod could not be restored (code 1603).
    After repeated attempts I decided to use my laptop, which has never had itunes installed as it's only a week old. I installed Itunes, started it and connected the Ipod. Again it said it was in recovery mode, so I asked it to restore it. Interestingly it downloaded v2.2 and restored successfully, although it was blanked back to purchase state. It then told me about the 3.0 upgrade, so (stupidly) figuring that this was a new state ipod on a different machine with a clean, new install of Itunes, I thought ok!
    Same result, locks on the Apple screen and eventually tells me the update failed. Now when I restore on the laptop, I believe it's trying to restore the newly downloaded 3.0 instead of the (working) 2.2 and it fails with the error above.
    I'm pretty confident that I can use a 3rd pc to restore back to 2.2, but why oh why is this being so problematic? Is 3.0 broken for some ipods out there?
    I've tried a few solutions I've found, such as restarting the Apple Mobile Service, and using a different machine is like reinstalling/using different usb's (didn't work anyway as I've tried 2 ports on the laptop now), holding down the power/standby buttons to hard reset it. I'm about to create a new user on Vista32 HP to see if I can get it to restore.
    What's going on?!
    Many thanks in advance for any help.
    Graeme
    Btw:m I did pay for the update through Itunes of course. The new laptop install recognised that I'd paid already and downloaded without a further purchase.

    RESOLVED
    Typically, within 1/2 hour of posting my problem, I tried a random solution and it randomly worked. After quitting itunes, disconnecting the ipod (stuck permanently on the Apple screen after the last update failure, so I held down the power/stby buttons to turn it off). I then dug into the following folder where itunes keeps its update downloads...
    c:\users\((username))\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPod Software Updates
    ... and moved the two update files (one for 2.2 and another for 3.0) to the recycle bin. I ran iTunes, turned on the ipod with a hard reset by using the power/stby buttons together (to get the screen with the usb connector pointing to iTunes), then connected it. Got the screen saying about Recovery mode and needing to restore ... so I restored, got the window saying about 3.0... it downloaded and installed (progress bar and everything) successfully.
    Farce complete. I don't think I'll update again!!!
    I hope this possibly helps others out there, if they encounter this freakish seemingly rare problem.

  • My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no update available. Yet I see that IOS 5 is out.. Why is it that my Ipod says no update is available or that my Ipod is up to date?

    My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no Update available. Yet I see that IOS 5.0 is out. Why does my Ipod say that there is no update available and my Ipod is up to date yet there is newer software available?

    Because you have an older model that is not upgradable to iOS 5.x.

  • My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. Any tips?

    My iPod touch is having a little issue with the volume. When I plug in my headphones the volume works fine. When there aren't any headphones plugged in, no sound comes out from my iPod. When I go to turn up the volume, it still says headphones. I tried restarting it a few times, nothing worked. I looked up many tutorials, and still nothing did the trick. Any tips?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

    It's not just iTunes you need to update...
    You need to upgrade to Leopard v10.5.8 at the very least in order to sync, restore, and backup an iPod touch.
    See iPod touch system requirements here.
    Leopard is available from Amazon here.

    How high can the iPod touch 3G get upgrade in the ios

    5.1.1. If it's an 8GB model, it's probably a second generation, not a third, and can't be updated past 4.2.1; if it happens to be a fourth generation model, 6.0.1.
