IPod Touch with iPhone 2.0 software

Quite recently, my uncle gave me his iPod touch (1st Generation) as a Christmas present because he was going to buy an iPhone 3G. I already have an iPhone, so I was wondering if the software used on it is compatible with my Touch. I don't wanna spend ten bucks for something that may as well be free. Do I really need to buy the software? Or is the one on my iPhone the same for my Touch?

Many people are having the same problem -- they can't install the 2.0 update. There's a huge thread about it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1598985
Apple is aware people are having problems (according Ronald in iTunes Customer Support) but hasn't offered any real solutions yet. They keep sending people to the same online support tips, which usually don't work.
The best you can hope for is to restore to an earlier version. iTunes will keep trying to install the 2.0 update by default. To get around this, you need to hold down the <Shift> key while clicking the "Restore" button in iTunes. This will open a dialog box where you can select the necessary *.ipsw file. On Windows XP, these are located in:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Apple Computer\
iTunes\iPod Software
I was able to restore back to my last version, which was iPod1,11.1.4_4A102Restore.ipsw
Hope this helps you out.

Updating iPod touch to iPhone 3.0 Software for iPod touch, getting error 14

I recently tried to update my 2g iPod touch to the 3.0 software. During the installation, I got an error message saying that an "unknown error 14" has occurred. This happened during the restoration process, and then my iPod just gave me the screen with the USB cable and the iTunes logo. iTunes then told me to restore the ipod, and during that restoration process, I got the same error. I also tried doing the restore manually by finding the iPod software on my hard drive, and then option-clicking on the restore button the find the software and then install. If anyone has any fixes or suggestions for this problem, they would be greatly appreciated.

Ok. I have spent the last 8 hours researching this problem and have the absolute 110% answer to everyone's problem with this issue.
Error 13 and 14 : Are checksum problems with the firmware image that is in the update package.
The update package is a .ipsw (IPod or IPhone SoftWare). This file is actually just a .zip renamed .ipsw.
The error is caused by a failure to download a crc-free version of the file. Not really sure why there are so many crc problems with the iphone updates, but Apple does not check the integrity of the update package before wiping your current version of IPhone software and that is why all IPhones that start an update with a bad update package end up in recovery mode. These errors are NOT related to the iTunes installation, antivirus software, or firewalls.
Recommendation : use a program like "Object Fix" (Freeware) to verify the integrity of the file prior to commencing with any new updates. You will have to keep trying to download it until you get a error free file. Once you have a CRC error free file this problem will go away. (I thought TCP/IP helped get rid of CRC errors.)
I had another problem and that was...
Error 1603 and 1604 : These are USB driver connectivity problems.
Recommendation : FULLY uninstall and re-install itunes software as stated in the Apple support documentation. Be sure to reboot between each step and these problems should clear themselves up. In addition, firewalls and anti-virus software may cause these errors as well.
Finally, shame on apple for not properly documenting their software so that end users do not have to decrypt their error messages with no true support to solve the issues. These are problems that enough people have had that there should be specific documentation on these problems.

Can't sinc my ipod touch with new 3.0 software

I got the new 3.0 software for my ipod touch and now it wont let me sinc my ipod it is saying that there is no SIM card in my iPhone i think that it is mistakeing my iPod touch with a iPhone. Can someone help me

OK, I wound up going to my local Genius Bar, and here's what we did:
1) reinstalled iTunes ...still didn't sync
2) repaired disk permissions...same thing
3) created a new user account on my MacBook and checked to see if my iPod touch would sync then...it did
4) went back to my user account, re-restored my iPod Touch and deleted the iPod backup file...and then it synced. At this point, it looked like it was a corrupted backup file.
When I got home and hooked it up to let it finish syncing, I realized that none of my photos had been transferred to my iPod touch, so I told it to...and the -50 error came up again. Another round of restoring the iPod and deleting the backup file, then I told it to load my photos from the My Pictures folder, rather than from iPhoto (which was the original setting before all this happened)...and it was fine. So my guess is that something in iPhoto 6 is tripping up the iTunes software (or vice versa) and screwing up the backup/sync process. I'll continue to keep an eye on it and see if that holds.
Thanks to Ariel at the Genius Bar in the Apple Store at the Menlo Park Mall, Edison, NJ! You were a great help, and thanks for your patience!

ITunes confuses iPod Touch with iPhone

Hi everybody
If I plug my iPod touch into the computer itunes gives me following warning:
The software requirde for iPhone is not installed. Run the iTunes installer to remove iTunes then install iTunes again.
The iPod doesn`t appear in iTunes but charges.
Does anybody have an idea what I did wrong?
Thank you very much in advance

my ipod touch worked fine at work until i upgraded to the new itunes. now it can't be seen while plugged in. it charges but doesn't show up in itunes. i have done everything that i have found on the website and still nothing. any suggestions? i also upgraded to the 1.1.3 firmware so i really don't want to have to restore my touch again if i don't have to since i was charged twice for the upgrade (another story all toghether). it still works fine at home. the problem is, i have about 9 days worth of music here at work and i don't want to have to burn all of that to cd's so i can put it on my pc at home.

IPod Touch w/ iPhone 2.0 Software - Calendar, Address Book synch issue

I am using my new iPod Touch at work with the exchange server. However, I find it annoying that I cannot have my other calendars from home on my ipod touch along with my address books. Can a more inspired Apple type person inform us that this will be changed?

Ditto. Will there be an update to the Calendar and contacts solution to allow multiple calendars, either an exchange server calendar or personal calendar as well as categories of contact lists?

IPod touch with iPhone 5s improvements

Does anyone know if Apple has any plans to update the iPod Touch to has the specifications of the iPone 5S without the cellular components?

No one would have any idea about Apples plans unless they announce.

Problem syncing iPod Touch with iTunes 8.0.1

Hi, I wonder if anyone can help.
I have updated to iTunes 8.0.1, and since doing so my 16GB iPod Touch (with the 2.0 software) doesn't want to easily sync. On docking my iPod it starts to sync and then I get a message telling me that "An unknown error occurred (13014)". I'll eject the iPod and then re-dock it and eventually it syncs - slowly and maybe after a few times - but it does sync.
Is anyone else having these problems and if so, what have people done to resolve these?

Same thing just happened to me. Not only am I unable to re-sync my photos, but the photos that were in my iphone are all screwed up. I just posted under "Camera & Photos" hoping that someone would know how to fix this. I think our friends at Apple have done it AGAIN!

New iPod Touch with January Update Restore Question

Hi,
Few days ago i bought new iPod Touch with 1.1.3 software and January Update.
When I restore it I'll lose my January Update programs ? And if that happened what can I do to get them back ?
PS. Sorry for my poor english :P
Cheers

It was mentioned already in this thread. If you look at the package check the seriel number. If it ends with /B then that is the new model and it has the new applications that were provided in the Jaunary update already programmed into the iPod. If you restore you will not lose them.
If it ends with /A then it is an older model that required the January Update in order to get the applications on your iPod. If you restore then you will lose them but you don't need to purchase them again as your iTunes will keep track of the purchase for you.

I have an iphone 3G and ipod touch with the remote app installed. I am unable to pair either with my ATV. When I go to remotes on my ATV and remote app on either ipod or iphone there does not appear to be an option to control apple tv.

System Requirements for Remote (Apple TV)
iPhone or iPod touch with software version 2.0 or later
Apple TV with software version 2.1 or later*
* iPhone or iPod touch software version 3.0 or later and Apple TV software version 2.4 or later are required for the directional remote feature

Problems with iPhone 3G and iPod Touch with Car Stereos

There are three cars in our family, and every car as a stereo with built-in iPod interfaces. Car 1 has a Pioneer system, Car 2 has a Kenwood, and my car has an Alpine system. I can't hear any audio when I connect an iPod touch or iPhone 3G to the Kenwood and Pioneer systems. They can perform functions on the iPhone/iPod touch, such as change songs, randomize songs, repeat songs, etc, however, there is no audio. 80% of the time the Alpine does the same thing; 10% of the time an error is displayed on the head unit; and 10% the iPod Touch/iPhone works perfectly.
All three systems can operate my iPod Nano correctly without any problems at all. Because the same problem occurs to all the stereos and because the iPod Touch and iPhone are basically the same minus phone capabilities, I am beginning to believe that the problem is with them and not the stereo systems. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how can I fix it if it is fixable?

Which Touch (first or second generation) and which iPhone (2G or 3G)?
And what generation Nano are you testing with.
Your auto systems may not be compatible with the newer generation model iPods/Phones.

How do i take an app that's on my ipod touch with pictures and transfer it to my new iphone without losing the pictures

I have an app on my ipod touch with pictures on it, and i want to transfer the app and pictures onto my new iphone with the pictures and everything

You need to authorize the new computer in iTunes, transfer purchases from the iPad into the new iTunes library, backup the iPad and then restore the iPad from the newly created backup and then sync with iTunes.
This discussion describes the process in great detail.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
As stated above, you can download apps again at no charge as long as you use the same ID. Depending on where you live, (in the U.S.) you can download just about everything again that you have purchased as long as you use the same ID.

ICal Syncing Wrong Times with Ipod Touch or iPhone - Everything 2 Hours Off

Every setting is uniform across all devices (timezones, etc) and yet iCal on my iPod touch or iPhone lists my scheduled events 2 hours earlier than what I inputed on my computer. The iCal calendar on Snow Leopard is correct, but my synced devices are not.
What gives? This is a HUUUGEEE issue for someone that uses their schedule book to get through each day. iCal is TOTALLY UNRELIABLE with this issue.

I have almost exactly the same problem. The ical on my macbook has the correct times, but on my ipod touch all events appear one hour earlier. Both devices are set to Geneva time, and the time displayed on them is the same.
This is really annoying as I am about to set off travelling, and was just going to take my touch for schedule - now I either have to pack my macbook or do everything the good old fashioned pen and paper way.
Can anyone help?

I have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

i have an ipod touch and just updated my software to ios 7.1.2. Now I get the message that my adapter, accessory does not support my device. Is there a new adapter that I need to buy that works with the ios 7.1.2?

This is not my problem. However, I think it may be related to an old speaker. I was using the 30 pin adapter for about a week after the upgrade to 7.1.2. But I think with the update the speaker won't work anymore. I will try with a new speaker system. Thank you for trying to assist.

Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address. If so just check off your phone number and try that.
