Itouch is messed up

I just got my touch about a week and a half ago. Whenever i start up an app there is about a 70% chance that my ipod automatically quits out of it. This also happens when i play music and pretty much everything else on my ipod. Lately my home button has been unresponsive also. H E L P

first thing to try is a visit here,

follow the steps through, see if that helps.

    -You can try turning off and than turn on it, always fix some errors.
    -Updating to iOS 4.1
    -Restore it
    -Can be a hardware problem, you have to go to an Apple Store or some place that can repair it

  • I downloaded the 2.0 upgrade for iTouch, and it messed up my ipod! help!

    I just downloaded the 2.0 upgrade, and it won't go onto my iPod Touch. It gives me an error message and says that my iPod is in Recovery mode. Every time I try to restore it (Extracting Software part works, but it messes up at the part that says Preparing iPod for Restore), an error message comes up that says this "The iPod 'iPod' could not be restored. An unknown error occured (6)." My iPod has the iTunes logo with the cord on it, but when it gets to the Preparing iPod for Restore part of the recovery, it like shorts out or something, and the whole screen turns to that lit-up black thing (if you know what I mean).
    What the heck happened, and how can I fix my ipod?

    Ditto.
    My dad wrang up Apple and told them what happened. I sent my iPod in and now it's on it's way back to me, all fixed!

  • Itouch 4g in facetime got really hot at the top and then the screen changed to a very light blue.  I restored it and checked for updates, but the screen is still messed up and the itouch gets very hot.  This came on very fast.

    Can't get the screen back to normal mode after restoring it, and it still gets very hot at the top when using it in any mode.  Any suggestions?

  • Itouch 2G WiFi disconnects after 1/2 hrs of no use

    I have a ipod touch 2G...it's updated to the latest version. For the last month if I don't use it for couple of hours...the WiFi gets lost (there's no wifi signal icon). So, I to go to networks and although its still connected to my home network, I have renew the lease to get the IP addresses again. This problem is particularly worse when I use public hot-spots (or other hot-spots other than my home) and then later when I com back home.
    I've added the the itouchs' MAC address to the router and made a dedicated DHCP address for it.... but the same problem occurs. My router is a D-link N series (DIR-615) and the same settings worked perfectly before in my home. I don't know suddenly what's wrong with it?
    Anybody have any suggestions?
    P.S. I didn't restore or reinstalled my OS, as this would mess up my applications and everything.

    WOW....I FINALLY got my playbook connected after nearly 8 hours of nothing.
    This is what I did, I don't know if it will work for you, but it is worth a shot!
    Instead of connecting to wifi in the drop down menu from the top tool bar, I went to the 2nd page of my desktop and went to the "Set Up" App. I Selected WiFi and and logged into my home network from there! And it worked the 1st time!!! I have been working on my wifi all day - and nothing worked.
    I am really not happy with my update....I wonder if I can go back...the last one was better!

  • New computer, new itunes, do i have to erase everything on my itouch and iphone just to sync it with my new computer??

    Hello,
         I recently purchased a new windows laptop because i needed a new one. My old laptop ive had for quiet awhile and i've had it for like 7 years. Anyways, i have a iphone 3GS and itouch 4 generation. I installed itunes onto my new HP laptop and i connected my itouch first to transfer my purhcases. But i thought after authorizing the itunes would make it to where i didnt have to erase it when i hook it up to the new computer. Friends and family memebers of mine have itunes and apple devices too and they mentioned that they didn't have to erase either their ipod, iphone, or ipad when they hook up to a different computer. MIne however, says " this ipod/iphone can only be synced with one computer at a time" and it gives me the options to : cancel, erase and sync, and transfer purchases. Now i already transferred my music and most of my apps onto my new laptop. BUT, im worried about my iphone losing all of its contacts. If anyone can help me mess with the sync settings to where i can back up my ipod and iphone data onto my new laptop that would be great!
    P.S. I did manage to TRANSFER all of my apps and music. I am worried about my CONTACTS and PHOTOS disappearing after it erases and puts whatever back on. i just need helping finding a way to get all of my stuff not to erase. And my ipod and iphone DO SYNC to the new computer but DO NOT BACK UP to the new one.
    Thank you!

  • I was downloading podcast video in my itouch using wifi, but suddenly my wifi got disconnected and now there is a link in my podcast list which on opening uses wifi to play that video. I want to delete that link. Right to left swapping is not working.

    I bet this is too late but...
    Are you trying to print through the airport express wirelessly or the built in wireless of the lexmark? If you want to use the airport express, there is no need to mess with the wireless printing on the lexmark at all. The airport express will be easy to set up, all the wireless setups through the printers are a pain.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my iTouch

    How can I revert to synching my iTouch ONLY through my iTunes account (on my MacBook Pro)? The synching of podcasts does not work (and/or is VERY slow) and is too confusing with iCloud (oh why did I ever bother with that?!) and keeps repeating old episodes. It was FAR simpler before iCloud and it WORKED! (I am using the the latest versions of OS X and iOS and generation 5 iTouch.) I have already turned off all iCloud options on my iTouch. Can't stand the intrusion and complexity (and vulnerability)!

    I try synching my podcasts (mostly from BBC radio 4!) from my laptop to my iTouch using iTunes, but this is not very reliable (it used to be, before this blasted iCloud messed it all up): some programmes don't come across (especially the newly downloaded episodes) and it repeatedly lists old episodes available on the cloud (even though I continue to delete references to these), which is really annoying, as they are just not wanted. (If I did want them, I can get them from the BBC website anyway.)
    Because it is so unreliable at syncing like this (after all, it DOESN'T synch if there are differences between what is on my laptop and what is on my iTouch!), I end up having to download the episodes again directly onto my iTouch. Not only does this drain the battery, but I go to many places where the internet is very slow, unreliable and/or expensive, so I certainly don't want to download these files more than necessary.
    This is one reason why I don't like the cloud approach (others being a loss of privacy and control): there are still many places (including here in the UK), where a fast, reliable and inexpensive internet connection can most certainly not be relied upon - something that the cloud approach seems to assume is not a problem. So self-contained independence is still important for me!

  • 1st Gen iTouch not recognized by iTunes on Laptop

    I have a 1st Gen iTouch that I cannot seem to get iTunes to recognize.
    About a week ago I re-named it in iTunes, cleaned it up, and performed a sync.
    Used it until the battery was low, and re-charged using my wall charger. Now, when I connect to the laptop, is is not recognized at all...
    I have tried the following to no avail:
    Re-install iTunes
    Stop/Start the Apple Mobile Device
    Try a different USB cable
    Re-boot the laptop with USB devices not plugged in
    Force the iTouch into recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
    Try to connect using a different laptop
    It still charges when connected to my wall charger. I have a 2nd gen iTouch that connects just fine (charges & connects to iTunes). I don't what the problem could be?! This iTouch is 1.5 years old and work great apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

    Then it's time to call Apple tech support while you are still under warranty.  Every iPod comes with complimentary, single-incident telephone technical support within 90 days of your iPod purchase.   If you also purchased AppleCare, then your warranty is extended for technical support and hardware coverage for two years from the original purchase date of your iPod.

  • Lost a 2 hard drives, have 7 k photos on a touch that I need to load on IMAC with a new hard drive, how do I do it.  Just never went from a Touch to iMac.  I have the cable hooked up and then what, I don't want to mess up,my last chance to save 7k pics!

    Lost my hard drive and also an Ipad, but have 7 k photos on a Touch that I need to load on fixed IMAC with a new hard drive, how do I do it. (There were more photos than the 7k, but they were saved on other drives, thank goodness).  7K pohotos on the Touch are no where else, must be saved!  Just never went from a Touch to iMac.  I have the cable hooked up and then what, I don't want to mess up,my last chance to save 7k pics!  New Aperture and IPhoto on IMAC with no other photos loaded on the new hard drive yet.

    I'd ask in the iTouch forum where there are more iTouch users there than here and they should know how to off load the photos.  It might take a 3rd party app.

  • TA26012 Has anyone used keyring 808 spy camera with an itouch and rendered with good results in final cut pro ?

    I am using spy camera 808 which has the same 1280 by 720 H264 AAC as an itouch for filming.
    Problems occour in fincal cut pro 6.06 on export if i export 808 on its own no issue the issue is the itouch messes up the time liine on sound video, example 20 min video 10 mins 808 and 10 mins itouch equals 12 mins.
    So has anyone actualy with the power pc g5 and final cut pro 6.06 had a method where it is succseful for a simple export to quicktime ?
    Just tried it with itouch in final cut and fcpro says does not match settings so i let fcpro choose audio needed render that was it export of 5 mins came out as 30 seconds.
    So question stands has anyone found a suitable way to bring in itouch video and export in final cut with out issues.?
    ps i brought the video in with "image capture" and iphoto no change.
    email here if you would [email protected]

    My plan is as follows:
    -Make a full backup copy of System Drive on an external drive
    -Boot from OS Install Disc > use Disk Utility to Erase/Write Zeros to drive
    -Install Snow Leopard
    -Install FCP, etc.
    -Delete "Capture" directory from external "Scratch Disk"
    -Transfer all remaining files to another external drive
    -Reformat "Scratch Disk
    -Cross fingers
    -Begin transcoding process again---frequently checking files for errors
    I'll let you know how it goes. Still open to other thoughts and suggestions...

  • ITunes has installed but keeps giving error mess and it has to close

    I just bought the new iPod touch 8GB and I connected the USB cord to it and my old version of iTunes said that I needed to upgrade to iTunes 9.0. It took me through the steps of downloading iTunes 9.0 and once it was done, I tried to open it up. I opened iTunes and all my songs were there but then an error message popped up and said "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. Sorry for any inconvience". If I minimize the error message, I can play my songs but it will not pick up the ipod nor will it let me sync it because the error message keeps closing it. I have tried uninstalling iTunes and quicktime and I even let the computer update and shut it down and even did a system restore on my computer. Can someone PLEASE help me with this problem ASAP!

    I've been experiencing the exact same thing since mid-Feb. Whether my iTouch is connected or not, iTunes loads then the message appears within 30 seconds that "iTunes has encountered an error and needs to close". I've uninstalled & reinstalled iTunes a couple of times, performed the "msconfig" & other tricks some I.T. pals have suggested but nothing works. Have searched message boards for ideas as to why this is happening or tips for dealing with this situation but have come up empty-handed. Like others, this mess began when I updated to the latest version of iTunes (9.0).....I'd reinstall the "old" version of iTunes but don't know where to find that info or whether that would be a good idea.
    All I know right now is this never happened when I owned Sandisk MP3 players....I hate to think that buying the iTouch was just an expensive mistake on my part. Can anyone please help us solve this Windows error so that we can download, sync & access iTunes again??? Pretty please??? Thanks in advance....

  • In a mess...

    So I'm totally and utterly confused. Recently I tried updating apps, then tried to cancel them, leading to the app becoming greyed out and stuck. Whenever I tried to resume the apps, they immediately said that they couldn't be downloaded at this time. I tried multiple times, to no avail.
    So I thought I was in a mess until I tried fixing it via itunes and made a bigger mess. I'm not very itunes-savvy, and also I realized I had not made any backups for several months. Really stupid move on my part...
    Then I tried managing the apps from the app tab under "My itouch", and I checked the box to sync all apps and synced it, unknowing of what it does. Then I cancelled it because I thought it wasn't doing anything good and just wasting time, so now I only have 7 apps totally synced that appear on the list on the left of the itouch screen out of my total 70-ish apps. Another bad move... am I supposed to keep syncing or is there a way to reset that list or uncheck "sync all apps" without deleting them off my ipod?
    So hopefully I don't sound too stupid, but I don't know what's going to happen if I continue syncing all apps/transferring all purchases onto my computer. As of now, both take too long so I can't just wait around and not pay attention without foreknowledge of what will happen.
    Is there any way to fix the underlying problem of the apps that are still stuck? It's been 3 days now and I've looked up and tried everything outside of itunes... resetting, rebooting, etc. Does itunes have a way to "un-grey" apps?
    Help and information is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Connect device.
    Select the Apps tab.
    Untick the "sync apps" option and sync the device.
    Then tick the "sync apps" option and sync the device.
    This should rectify the issue and put all the apps back on the device.  No game or app specific settings will be lost.

  • Apps on iTouch, gone from iMac

    iTunes made a mess of my music, so I deleted the music library, and rebuilt it from backups. Now it works the way that it should. However, my apps on my iTouch (3rd gen) exist and work on the iTouch, but the files are missing from the iMac. B&W icons exist (all the same) for the existence of an app on the iMac, but clicking on it says there is no file. Those files must have gone with the music? Syncing the two completes without error, but still there are no files on the iMac. I do have Time Machine running, so if I know where to look, and where to put them, I may be able to recover my apps files on my iMac. Else, I can copy the files from the iTouch to the iMac, but have no idea how to do it.
    Any advice would be much appreciated! - Andy

    I tried that and it does nothing. My menu selection is File > Transfer Purchases from "iTouch 64". But I purchased this particular music in from the Gateway computer, not from the iPod. So when I do click on that selection nothing happens. There's a quick synch but no change to the status of this particular file.
