My ipod touch has software 2.2.1 but all the apps now require newer software. It won't update because it says it's the up to date software. do i need to buy a new ipod touch?

I can't update my ipod touch software because when i check for updates using itunes it says the software is up to date. Does this mean i have to get a newer ipod touch or is there a way to manually update the software to the newer versions?

You probably have a 1G iPod.  See here:
Identifying iPod models
The 1G can go as far as 3.1.3.  You can purchase that update here.  You may have to use another browser to get the sublink to work correctly.

  • I updated my ipod touch to version 5.0.1 but all my apps are gone!!

    I updated my ipod touch to version 5.0.1 but all my apps are gone!!
    Why are all my apps gone? I really want them back, i was rated #4 of all time on one game!

    Are the Apps still in your iTunes library?  If they are simply make sure they are configured to sync to your iPod still.  See this article for more details.

    Otherwise, you can redownload any and all of them at no cost.

  • My ipod touch has died. i tried charging but nothing. any sugestions?

    my ipod touch has died. i trued charging but noyhing any sugestions?

    If the cause is a flat battery, then leave the charger in, it takes some time to charge the battery to have enough to display the empty battery symbol, then some more time to be able to start the ipod.
    If the battery died that's another problem, how old is the ipod?

    Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
    Come back with the results.
    What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
    An "other" larger than abount 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
    First try:
    "First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
    as recommended by:
    How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
    Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
    To restore from backup see:

  • When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine

    When I try to install ios lion the installer says my hard drive has SMART errors and that I need to buy a new Hard Drive, but my computer witch has snowleprd and runs just fine.

    SMART is a technology that monitors the drive for signs of impending failure. You can verify that SMART is indicating a problem in Disk Utility. Select the hard drive and look at the bottom of the window. It should look like this:
    If the SMART status is not "Verified" then you should back up your drive and start shopping for a new one.

    If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
    Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
    ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
    You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
    Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
    To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
    You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
    iPod Service Support and Costs
    iPhone Service Support and Costs
    iPad Service Support and Costs
    There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
    1. iResq or Google for others.
    2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

  • I just updated to 10.5 now idvd application..."5.01" won't open? Do I need to buy a new version?

    I just updated to OS10.5.8
    Now iDVD doesn't open...I get a message that says you can't use IDVD with this version of Mac OS X ?
    Do I need to buy a new version of iDVD?

    You'll need iDvd V6 or higher to work with 10.5 Leopard. iLife 06 has iDVD V6 and iLife 08 and 09 have iDvd V7 which will work with Leopard. Note iLife 08 and 09 start to have Intel requirements to run some programs. One source for older, unopened Apple software is http://www.hardcoremac.com

  • I need to buy a new printer! Compatibility

    I need to buy a new printer this weekend as mine has just broke.
    I don't like HP
    Can someone tell me if cannon printers will work with the soon to be released Apple print application? Or what brands are compatible I've heard it's only HP but this does not makensense to me.
    Please help as I'm buying tomorrow.

    As of now, the only printers to support AirPrint are the HP Officejet Pro 8500A, the HP Photosmart Premium Fax e-All-in-One, and the HP Photosmart e-All-in-One. Any printer that is connected to a computer and shared on the network through that computer will also work, although the computer must be turned on and connected to the network. Other printers may be compatible eventually, but at the moment, only the 3 HP printers support it. Several other printers are supported by printing applications.

  • If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    If I buy a MacBook pro now, what will happen with it once the Lion OS makes it's appearance? Will I need to buy a new one again?

    Lion will run on most Intel machines. It will not run on the following machines:
    MacBook Pro (sold before October 2006)
    MacBook (sold before November 2006)
    Mac Mini (sold before August 2007)
    iMac (sold before September 2006)
    It requires an Intel Core 2 Duo (or later CPU). Those machines listed above were all Intel Core Duo machines and with the exception of one of the Mac Minis, an Intel Core Solo. So we're talking 4+ year old machines. I have not tested Lion on a machine with anything less than 2GB of RAM.
    Wikipedia has a pretty good public summation of what's known so far and it's quite accurate - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion
    The biggest thing of note so far is that you cannot install/run Rosetta. Which maybe problematic for some users.

  • I don't understandwhy i need to buy a new charger cable for my iphone 5 every week. why can't you make a normal cable, that doesn't stop working? i csn't spend so much money on buying new cablesall the time.

    these cable are so delicate that after one week of use they break down. i can't spend all my money on buying them. moreover, last week it broke down on saturday eve so i was stuck untill tuseday without a phone.
    i have to say that this compan is so rude, and it took me like an hour to sign in and write this complain, and i'm not even sure if it's the right place to wright this sort of things.
    apple's customer service is the wort customer service in the world.

    I don't understand why you need to buy a new one every week. I've had my iPhnoe 5 for almost a year, never had a problem with the cable. In addition, your phone is can't be more than a year old. Therefore, unless you're damaging them, your cable is under warranty and Apple will replace it. Perhaps you should have tried actually availing yourself of Apple's customer service before complaining about it.
    Best of luck.

  • Do I need to buy a new printer, dedicated for my Mac or can I use the same one we use for our PCs?

    Do I need to buy a new printer, dedicated for my Mac or can I use the same one we use for our PCs?

    Hello stacksofamber and welcome to Apple Support Communities,
    You should be able to find a Mac OSX driver for that printer. Did you check with the manufacturer/'s website?

  • I aam thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac.  Will I need to buy a new Apple compatible version of Lightroom, do I have to pay to upgrade or can I get the new version free?

    I am thinking of changing from a PC to a Mac.  Will I need to buy a new, Apple compatible, version of Lightroom, or can I upgrade to it, or can I get it free as I've paid for the PC version?

    Your licence is not platform specific, so Lightroom can be used on any two machines (Mac and/or WIndows), with one actually being used at any given time.
    So no, you're money's safe!
