My "tilt" on my iPod touch will not work.
I've tried to reset my settings several different times and it still isn't helping. I'm obsessed with Temple Run and it annoys me that I can't play it. It also does the same thing for Rollercoaster and Waterslide. Everyone says to take it apart and fix the accelerometer, but I really don't want to do that. If anyone knows how to fix the problem with a different way, please let me know. I'm thinking about just trading in my iPod.
Have you checked to see if you have the rotation lock turned on? If on there is a circular arrow with a padlock inside next to the battery icon in the upper right.
You can try the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
If you still have the problem then it is time for an appointment at the Genisu Bar of an Apple store.

My 4th gen ipod touch will not work in a philips or Sony docking station
I bought a philips(DC320) clock radio and my ipod touch would not work in it. Thinking it was a problem with the connector on the radio I returned it and bought a Sony ICF-CS15ip because the store was out of the philips radio. When I plugged my 4th gen ipod touch into that again my Ipod touch would not play through the radio but the radio would recognize and charge the ipod. I tried my daughter's 2nd gen ipod touch in the Sony and it worked great. So It looks like there is a problem with the my ipod. Sony claims that the ICF-CS15ip is compatible with the 4th gen ipod touch and I have the latest IOS 5.1.1 on my ipod. Any suggestions before I go to the Apple store? The Ipod is only 6 months old.

That has worked for some users.
However, sometimes an iOS update will break compatibility. In that case yo have to wait for either Apple or the dock manufacturer to issue a firmware update. -

In order to use iMessage efficiently, add the country code to the mobile number prefix by of your contact and their iMessage ID. You will notice then when selecting the contact name in the TO, the green shade will turn into blue shade. It means your message will be sent as iMessage. Notice if you are sending message to non imessage user, the shade of the contact name is green. It means the message will be sent as text message.

Ipod touch will not work or restore
I connected my ipod touch. It said it needed an update. So I hit ok. It downloaded but then gave me an error that it could not be installed. It told me to restore it. It restores to a point then again gives me an error message # 9 that it could not restore. It keeps saying to restore it but it will not restore The screen gives me the connect to itunes screen but it will not restore.
The ipod is new to me but not new, so I cannot get apple support at the store which is several hours away. Can anyone solve this problem?Hey Lizpuff,
This article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 provides tips that will resolve most restore errors, including error 9.
Can you restore the iPod touch from another user account? The article will walk you through creating a test user account.
Make sure the iPhone is directly connected to a high-speed USB2 port on the PC, using the cable that came with it.

Try the remaining items of:

If not successful and you can't turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least and hour try again.
- If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. -

IPhone, iPod Touch will not work with Skullcandy Icon2, Icon 2
I pulled my Skullcandy Icon 2 's out for my ski trip and found that the mic and control had stopped working with my iPhone. Thinking that the Mic/Button had broke I went out and picked up a new pair, which also didn't work.
Both sets of head phones were tried on an iPhone 3g, iPod Touch 1st Gen. and iPod Nano 3rd gen. None of which would allow control of the devices in music mode or call answer.
To rule out a defective headset, I connected them to my friend's phone, a HTC Hero. The controls on the Icon 2 would play and pause any music program, including Pandora including controlling calls, (answer, mute and hang up).
I haven't found anything other then lint in the head phone jack to as a solution to this. (not a solution for me).
If anyone has any suggestions please let me know.
Hardware Info:
Skullcandy Icon 2 Purchased 2009-2010
Skullcandy Icon 2 Purchased 12/2/2010
iPhone 3g Software version 4.2.1
iPod Touch Software version 3.1.3
iPod Nano 1.1.3Has this worked for you in the past? I am under the impression that your units are older and do not support this functionality. See <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3310>.
I'm interested in what you find out

IPod touch will not work with USB 2.0 PCI Card?
I have a dual processor PowerMac G4 that has USB 2.0 via a PCI card. When I plug in the iPod nothing at all happens. I haven't read anything about PCI cards not being compatible with the touch. Is anyone else having this problem?
Just thought I'd add my 2 cents...I've got the same problem...I've had a Keyspan USB 2.0 5 port card in my Dual MDD G4 for years and it's worked fine. Well, until a few days ago when I tried updating some stuff on our iPods. It would initially start working then lose connection. Now nothing at all with 5 iPods. It won't even show up on the desktop under Disk Mode. I did the same and it works fine under the old stock USB 1.0 but slooooooowwww. Is this yet another problem with Leopard? I've searched the Keyspan site and they don't have any updated drivers. Guess I'll look for a Belkin as well...ugh!!! Leopard is horrible! First no printer drivers, then no iSub support, now this!

The ipod was restored to factory settings and now it wont do anything except show the apple symbol and flash white. Then iTunes says it can't connect because of an unknown error.
Use the search function up to the right. There are a zillion basic setup guides with a simple Google search.
