My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no Update available. Yet I see that IOS 5.0 is out. Why does my Ipod say that there is no update available and my Ipod is up to date yet there is newer software available?

Because you have an older model that is not upgradable to iOS 5.x.

It seems as your iOS Software Is most likely corrupt. Try doing a software restore in iTunes by clicking in your iPod and clicking the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring.

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 had recently updated my Ipod touch to the newest version 11.1.3 and my Ibooks app is no longer on on their. Hence I am in the middle of reading a book and am now very frustrated. How do I get it back on their?
-Serious help only, please and thank you.

I do not understand what iTunes on your computer has to do with the iBooks app in your iPod.
You can only read iBooks on an Apple computer with the newers, Mavericks, operating system.
You can redownload the iBooks app for the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

My ipod touch has the "white screen of death" and the thing where you press the home and power button at the same time dosent work. How do i fix it?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My White 4G Ipod Touch has a strange smell to it and is warm to the touch. What should i do?

The smell isnt like a burning smell but i cant really describe it. The smell is around the ipod but you can only smell it if your nose is really close to it. I'm worried that the smell that is radiating from it is hazardous to my health. I just turned it off for a while and its cool now but the smell is slightly still there. Anyone else having this problem, or knows what i should do? Oh and also the bottom venting part is where the smell is the strongest.

With heavy use the iPod can get quite warm. If you are concerned you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The smell is likely normal butt I can't smell it where I am.

So my ipod touch has been broken for a year and today i pluged in to my computer and it recognized it but i cant un-lock it to get the files

how do i get the files?

If you can't unlock the iPod you can't get the information from the iPod. It is a security feature.

My iphone has software version 4.3.3 and I cant update it to 4.3.5

When I try to update my phone from 4.3.3 it says device isn't eligible for specified build, theres no number error code with the message, what do I do?

1. Open Terminal. You can type Terminal in the search in the upper right corner.
2. When Terminal loads, type ping gs.apple.com and press enter.
3. If you see something other than Reply from 17.112.176.11: bytes=32 you will need to edit your host file.

No, that is acidental damage and is not covered by the warranty. The warranty covers defects, not accidental damage.

My iPod touch is alternating between a white screen and the Apple startup logo. I can't seem to bring it out of that sequence.

IPod Touch 4th Gen vs. Original iPad and WiFi

Can anyone explain this to me?
I have an original iPad, it's old, well abused, but works well, stuck at iOS5, and a new iPod Touch 4thGen, not abused, iOS6 and works "ok". Here's my issue,
using the same WiFi router that I do for ALL of my equipment, there is one spot in which my iPad will get WiFi just fine, but my iPod Touch will not get WiFi at all. Same exact position for both units, not touching either device, so there's no "hand position" issues.
I think it's an iOS driver issue, others seem to disagree. Other devices that work in the same exact spot: Droid tablet, Samsung Galaxy IIs, Windows XP/7 laptops/netbooks, and a Kindle Fire. Seems to me, it's unique to the iPod Touch and it's annoying me enough that it is quite possible the Touch will be my last Apple purchase.

there is one spot in which my iPad will get WiFi just fine, but my iPod Touch will not get WiFi at all.
WiFi antennas are not created equal. The iPod Touch has a different configuration than the iPad which will also affect the antenna. The same goes for other WiFi devices, each will have its own unique antenna behaviors.
Have you checked that "Spot" to make sure you have a strong signal? Building construction and placement of metal appliances can affect signal strength.
Have you checked that "Spot" to make sure you do not have WiFi interference from WiFi routers at your neighbors, from 2.4GHz cordless phones, 2.4GHz baby monitors, Microwave ovens (also operate on 2.4GHz frequences).

Ipod touch won't sync all of the music even though there is enough free space

How much would it cost to bring my ipod touch 4th generation to the apple store and get my 8gb of storage upgraded to 16 gb?

Apple doesn't do trade ins. You can get 10% off your next purchase for recycling your old iPod through Apple.You'd do better to erase your iPod and sell it on ebay, then use the money toward a new iPod. Hope this helps, good luck, Cheers.
