Keep iPod Touch 2G connected to Mac when at desk?
When I'm using my iPod Touch 2G at my desk, should I keep it plugged into my Mac?
After the battery is charged to 100%, is the iPod running off the power from the Mac
or is it running off the battery?
Which will make the battery last longer?
1. Keeping it plugged into the Mac
or
2. Unplugging it after the battery is 100% charged?
It doesn't matter. When the battery is fully charged, it will stop charging. When the Touch is plugged into the computer it's using power from the computer.

When my iPod Touch is connected to my Mac, and I select Update to update the software of my iPod Touch, I get a message saying that my iTunes software is current, but it will not update my iPod Touch software. Is there a bug in the iPod program?
If you have the first gen ipod touch as your information shows, then you would have to buy a software update:

my pc crashed...and i purchased a new one and installed itunes...how can i sync my ipod touch 2 my pc? when i connect it 2 itunes on my new pc..by defualt it will rerase everthing on my ipod
The other responder gave you a program that will transfer stuff from your iPod to your new computer. You can transfer iTunes purchaces to your new computer by:

After you move your stuff to your new computer you will have to let iTunes erase your iPod and then sync with the stuff that is now in your iTunes library. You will loose app data though. -
When I import photos taken from my Ipod Touch 4 to My Mac Desktop, I click delete photos on ipod, but they do not delete. Is the only way to delete them individually (I have 1,400 photos!) or is there a way to delete them all in one go?
I realise you can you can delete them on your ipod slowly as you have to click on each one, and you can restore your ipod, but surely there is a way to get around this?

Thanks If anyone can help me.Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
3. Install another app from the App Store
If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

ITunes crashing (only when iPod Touch is connected)
It just started last night. Anytime I try to add music to the library or choose the folder to sync photos from, basically anytime iTunes has to access explorer to browse folder, it crashes and it doesn't give me any sort of error. It just tells me it has crashed and is reporting the problem. Like I said though, this only happens when the iPod Touch is connected. If I unplug it and then add music, it works fine but without it plugged in I can't add photos. Also, if I already have iTunes open and then connect the iPod, it crashes. I have to have the iPod already connected and then I can open iTunes.
Any ideas? I switched to using iTunes as my default player because WMP had too many issues. I don't want to have to go back.
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
iPod: 32GB iPod Touch 3rd generation on latest official firmwareMore info: iTunes generates a standard WinXP Send Error Report/Don't Send error message.
The Error Signature is:
AppName: itunes.exe
AppVer: 8.0.2.20
ModName: quicktime.qts
ModVer: 7.55.90.70
Offset: 009fd1a7
I tried on another PC. Same crash. It seems either the problem is on the iPod Touch side, or some more general problem with iTunes. -
ITunes doesn't open when iPod Touch is connected
I have iTunes 8.0. When I connect the iPod touch, nothing happens. If I manually open iTunes, it begins to backup and sync. I have the box checked on the summary page for the iPod Touch that says "Open iTunes when this iPod is connected". I already trashed and reinstalled iTunes.
I was surprised too, but I guess nobody gave a cr*p. I figured it out on my own. Basically, sync, then uncheck the box for the option to open iTunes when that iPod is hooked up, sync again, then check the box, and sync one last time. A dialog box pops up that asks if it's OK to install "iTunes Helper". Say "yes". Now it works.

my ipod touch wont play any music, when i try to play a song, it just keeps pausing. no sound comes out of the headphones or internal speakers. what can i do to fix this problem? ive tried charging it and resetting it but nothing works.

Okay so my Ipod Touch is connected to my computer which has charged my ipod before. Now when i plug it in, my ipod doesnt charge unless i move the charger around. Should I get a new charger, or what?
I could be the cable or it could be that the connecor in the iPod is damaged. If the iPod is the problem replacing the cable will not help. Look at the dock connector on the iPod and the contacts on the cable.

When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?
This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw. -
I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?
I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck! -
IPod Touch auto connect to airport express network
Okay, I just got my Airport Express up and running. Seems fairly easy to work with.
Is there a way to set up Airport to have it automatically recognize and accept a connection attempt from my iPod Touch...or from any other computer that it may 'know?'
Right now, when I want my iPod Touch to connect to my network, I have to manually enter network name (because it's hidden) and password. Can I enter hardware name someplace in Airport Utility? I notice iPod has a blank 'Client ID' field. Can I enter something there and have the network recognize that ID?
I'm relatively new to all this. Thanks in advance.You might consider "unhiding" your network so that your devices will remember the network.
Any of the many simple utilities available on the internet will find your network in seconds, so while hiding it may keep a few honest folks from seeing it, the guys to be concerned about can "see" you anytime they want.
The best security would be WPA2 Personal with a strong, non-dictionary password. -
