Is there any reason that Apple can't support iOS4.3 on the second generation iPod touch?
I have a number of Apps that can no longer run on my iPod touch second generation because these Apps now requires iOS to be v4.3 or later. For example, I used to be able to run Skype on this iPod touch, but it failed a couple of weeks ago. I could not download it from App Store again since it requires v4.3 iOS and Apple does not support v4.3 upgrade on this iPod touch. The hardware is perfectly fine - I don't see any reason that it cannot support v4.3 upgrade other than Apple wants us to buy newer products. If that's the case, it leaves a very bad taste on customers' mouth. How can Apple force their customers to dump what they bought a little over 2 yrs ago because Apple doesn't allow iOS upgrade and customers can no longer run the Apps they need on this device as a result? There is no way that I am going to buy another Apple product based on this bully behavior!
I am not sure that I buy that. Even if that's the case, why can I not continue to run the Apps that used to be supported on v4.2? I should be able to run the version of Skype App that is compatible with iOS v4.2. Since Apple controls the App Store content, they should allow those who stay on v4.2 continue to access the Apps that they used to run on v4.2.
Becuase App Store continues to push for updates, now it has pushed my iPod to a point of no return as those Apps are no longer supported on v4.2. I cannot go back to the versions of the Apps that could run on v4.2 - I was happy with Skype (and other Apps) running on my iPod but that version of Skype is no longer available because App Store does not allow that. It renders my iPod touch useless due to Apple's monopoly control!
If anyone knows how to download the older versions of Apps that can run on v4.2, please advise - many thanks!

Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes? Also, if another user was to attempt to connect this stolen device to iTunes, would Apple be able to inform of the username of this person in order that I could then pass this information to the police?

No. Apple can do nothing to help. Sorry.

Will Apple someday make iOS5 available to the 2nd generation iPod Touch?
I know that iOS5 will only be available to 3rd and 4th generation iPod Touches. Is it possible that Apple can develop a slightly down-graded version that has some of the new features so that users with 1st and 2nd generations can enjoy them?

I believe the "slightly down-graded" version of iOS 5 would be iOS 3 or iOS 4.

My phone was recently stolen. And even if I don't get it back, I want to know that if someone else were to try and register it, that apple wouldn't let them use it.
No... Some carriers will blacklist phones (I don't believe any in the U.S. will). Make sure you let your carrier know about the theft.

HT202157 Is there any chance that Apple TV will support Amazon Instant Video?
I watch Netflix, but I also have Amazon Instant Video because it has shows that are not on Netflix.
This is a user forum, can't really speak to this here. Since Amazon block airplay I don't see it happening any time soon though.

My 4th Gen iPod Nano isn't displaying a "Use iTunes to restore" message, but iTunes is displaying a restore message when I connect it. I have original music that I can't back up on my iPod. Is there any way that I can fix the iPod without restoring it?
It's not designed to work like this. When you sync, the iPod stores some information that basically says 'this iPod belongs to computer xyz'. Apple did this to prevent copyright issues (syncing someone else's music).
If you really want to do this, you'll have to at least tie both iTunes installations to the same account. Maybe have them sync with each other. -

You can also make a report to Apple I believe.
The last time someone reported about that, they said that the police communicated with Apple, not the victim. Whether that was, or is still true, I do not know. The police may be able to tell you when you file the report, but if not, it won't hurt to contact Apple and ask. Good luck to you Karina. -

I have a Mac OSX 10.4.11 and want to purhase software (Quickbooks). Is there any place that I can buy software for this computer?
http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/software/finance
However, the system requiments are pretty steep:
Mac OS X v10.6 or v10.7
2GB of RAM
Intel Core 2 Duo or later
so you at minimum need to upgrade the OS to at least OS 10.6. That is this package:

I backed up my phone before i went on vacation. I dropped my phone in a pool and now it doesn't work, is there any way that i can get the pictures that I took on vacation off of the phone?
IF you had icloud backups and Camera Roll turned on in Settings on the wet phone, then you can restore that backup to an iOS device, but not a computer.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Once you get a replacement phone...
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
This link gives another overview of backup and restore:

You can "recycle" it thru Apple and get an Apple store gift card you can use towards a new iPad.

My iphone 4s power button is stuck. Is there any chance that it can be fix?
My iphone 4s power button is stuck. is there any chance that it can be fix?
This will be covered for free under Apple Warranty. Until you do this, a software workaround is a Virtual Lock Button in Assistive Touch on iPhone. Tap Settings App>General>Accessibility>Assitive Touch>ON>Tap new Virtual White Screen Button>tap Device> tap Lock Screen. If you hold down on the Lock Screen Icon it will give you the "slide to power off". To turn iPhone ON, connect to Power Source with USB Cable, via Charger or Computer USB Port.

Does anyone maybe know why the new Macbook pros don't have iWeb and how i can install it. My Macbook already came with the iLife thing, but it seems to only have iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band. is there any way that i can install iWeb?
Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.
