IPod 4th gen won't update!

okay so I've read a few discussions from people who have the same problem as me! its so annoying now, I've been trying to update my iPod to the new iOS 5 update but it refuses to update!
It finishes downloading the update then says an error has occured, the timed out one, it then tells me to check my network connectivity, I do so and it works perfectly.
I then turned ALL my secruity settings off and tried again. Still no luck.
help me??????

- Disabling the computer's security software during the dowload and update usually works.
- You can also try a direct download and install using these instructions.

As with all clickwheel iPods, you can reset this iPod by first toggling the hold switch on and off and then simultaneously pressing the select (center) and menu buttons for approximately 5-10 seconds. This is a common fix should your iPod behave unexpectedly or lock up. Once reset, the iPod should display an Apple logo for a few seconds before showing the main menu. This procedure is similar to rebooting a computer and damages none of your music or data.

Hi, my ipod (2nd gen) won't connect to the internet via Safari or through apps but my email does work. Any ideas without needing to reset the ipod?

- Have you tried when connected to other networks? Maybe the router is blocking the ports used by Safari and the other apps.
- What kind of network are you using? a personel or bussines?

Okay , you should only delete EMPTY DUPLICATED folders, not preview folders or any others. I would put them all back. Then just delete any DUPLICATED EMPTY folders, do not disturb any other folders. On iOS switch off DOCUMENTS AND DATA under ICLOUD in SETTINGS. Do this on all iOS devices not just the one. Once deleted DUPLICATE FOLDERS on the mac in MOBILE FOLDERS then exit the LIBRARY. Open PAGES on your MAC and view folders on icloud. Check everything is all there as expected. If okay then DELETE and re-install PAGES app on iOS - THEN switch on DATA and DOCUMENTS in ICLOUD. Now open PAGES. If you have Time Machine on you can recover any 'lost' doc files and restore them from your mac from pages application. Try the process again and do not disturb any folders other than ones I mentioned as this is the system files LIBRARY. It is not a place to be over zealous in moving, altering and deleting folders and files. Take care please.

HT201272 my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new ebay app how do i get?

hi,
how do i get the old ebay app my ipod touch gen 2 will not accept the new version?

If you didn't previously download the eBay app and have it still in a backup or somewhere, then you can't. The current version of the eBay app requires iOS 4.3 which will not run on a 2nd-generation iPod touch.
Regards.

My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. HELP!!!

My ipod nano gen 4 will not sync the new episodes of a video podcast. I could download the first half of the episodes. Help! I really like them. It says "it can't be played on this device." Many other podcasts are doing the same thing. Is my ipod too old?

Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless

I have an ipod, they said ipod touch 3 8gb, they said... Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1
So i have a question: Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless.
Thanks for reading

Wow! Give us a chance!
I live in the UK (about five minutes drive from the Olympic cycle race route. Didn't you notice me waving to the cameras? ). Not far from you , but far enough away that I might be doing something else, even if the cycle race has finished. The same applies to everyone else too. I'm eight hours ahead of you, so if it's 9pm now, where you are, it's five in the morning where I am and most of us here will still be inspecting the inside of our eyelids!
Now, about your problem.
If your iPod is 8GB, then it is not a 3rd generation Touch - no matter who they are and no matter who said it was! If it has model number A1288 etched into the casing on the back, then that identifies the 2nd gen Touch. (Yes, there is a 4th gen Touch in 8Gb capacity, but still no 8GB 3rd gen - ever). The third generation is model No. A1318.
Can i change my old ipod to the new one with priceless. I don't understand what that means, unless you mean "with the price difference". In which case, the answer is "no".
Even more confusing is; Now i can't do anything with this because too many apps require IOS >4.2.1 because -
a 2nd generation Touch (including the 8GB) can install iOS 4.2.1 But that's as high as it can go. So that's incorrect!
you can still use any App that doesn't require a higher iOS than you have. So still incorrect!
you can still use it as a music player, so guess what, wrong again!
... to store your photos - you know what I'm going to say now, don't you?
... and play those videos!
So wrong, wrong and wrong!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I would contact Apple directly and have them work with to get the iPod shipped to a new/different address.

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the installation again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.
