Just got my ipod touch three days ago. It seems to think I am located in Thailand even though I am in Wyoming. How can I change my location?
For location the iPod uses the location of nearby wifi routers that are in Apple's database. You do not have to be connected to the network/router to use that router's location. Thus, it appears that Apple's database has the incorrect location of nearby routers. Apple continuously updated their database based on info they obtain from iPhones. No one has been able to find a way to inform Apple of a router or correct is location.

Just got my iPad 2 three days ago and noticed the battery life drops faster than I expected at least compared to the others ones around, please I need to know the cause and how to effect necessary changes that will prolong the battery life as I have gone through the settings which includes turning off the push notifications, reduce brightness and so on but that doesn't seem to help much.
FYI
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Can I replace the screen for free?
Maybe yes but likely no. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out.

I just got my iPod touch 4g repaired and now my wifi is down
I just got my iPod touch repaired because i had a cracked screen. I got it back one day ago, and it was being repaired for 3 weeks. Whenever i try to use wifi, no networks show up. I tried rebooting, but nothing happened. I know that the signal bar cant be completely broken because at my friends house i would get wifi for 5 minutes or so. then it would break down again for half an hour. When i got home, no networks showed up. Its been like this until now. Can someone please help me?
Also if i put my ipod right next to the router it works, but when i walk away the signal stops.
And i have an unrepsonsive home button.Making a new post does not change the responces

I just got an ipod touch from my sister yesterday which she has had since October. The battery life went for days with her but as soon as I started checking my email and adding apps the battery doesn't last more than a couple of hours. I deleted some apps but no change. I also kept my email logged in and my notifications turned on so I'm wondering if they are part of the problem. Please let me know what I should do. Thank you so much.
Yes, notifications are part of the problem. For more information look at at the previous posts on this problem. Yu can find some of those on the right hand side of this page under the heading: More Like This. I keep mine in airplane mode when asleep.

I just got the Conduit malware 4 days ago and I can't imagine I’m the only one. Any ideas why no one has posted regarding this issue since 2013?
On another note, is Norton somehow connected to Bing? I’ve been working with a tech at Norton for three days and they haven't managed to get the Bing out of IE and bring back my original search engine. They did some fancy shuffle to make me think they had. In reality just redirect the Google browser to my original home page and said "look its working”. The question is are they incompetent (doubtful) or have an interest in keeping Bing in IE. I can't imagine what axe Norton has to grind here, unless someone was paying them or threating legal act. Anyway As a result the Skype will not open, why that helps Microsoft I don't see it, since they own Skype. Unless they are trying to drive customers to their (other) offering, like they are doing with Bing? JohnHi, Windboater, and welcome to the Community,
Keep digging ... "Conduit" adds components that once found are easily removable. I got slammed with this when I downloaded an old version of Skype from what turned out to be an untrustworthy website. (Lesson learned: only download Skype from app store or Skype website.) Was a time-consuming endeavor, but I prevailed.

Elaine

When I got my Ipod Touch 3 years ago, my mum set up an Apple ID in her name & email address. I have since got an Ipad & set up my own Apple ID. How can I update my Ipod to my Apple ID? I would like to sync the Ipad and Ipod, but cant get past this ID problem?
Hi AnnieAnneok,
Welcome to the Support Communities!

First, I would suggest you backup your iPod touch and transfer purchases to your computer:

Confirm your Apple ID is set up and updated with the correct information:

Then, in Settings on your iPod touch, sign out of your iCloud Account and your iTunes Store account and sign back in with the correct Apple ID.

I just got an iPod touch. Now I cannot access my music on my Nano when it is connected to my computer (all the titles are in gray). How do I fix this?
That sounds like you've engaged one of the automatic syncing options for your nano.
Plug the nano in, and go into the Device screen for the nano in itunes. Is "manually manage ..." unchecked? If so, check the box for it, and click okay. Disconnect and reconnect the nano. Is the content on the nano able to be selected in your iTunes now? -

Hi,
My daughters just got an ipod touch today and I'm having trouble connecting it to my Wi-Fi network. It identifies my wireless connection but then says 'unable to join the network' with the word 'Dismiss' underneath. Any ideas on what I can do? Thanks!!Hi
Thanks for your reply. I've tried resetting a few times. There is no 'tick' next to the name of my wireless connection so it won't connect at all. I think I may have to do something with my router as there is an arrow button to press next to my wireless name, this takes me to a screen which asks for IP address, then has options for DHCP BootP and Static, it asks for Client ID DNS etc - all gobbledegook to me!! Perhaps my router is blocking the Ipod?
Thanks anyway! -
