You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

New iPod Touch.Moved to Germany from England.App Store ONLY in German.HELP!

Hi There,
For christmas, I got a new iPod Touch. It's very nice, but the App store on the iPod touch is only in German. As my knowledge of German is very limited, I want the App store to be in English. So, as far as I know, to change my App Store into English, I need to go into iTunes, scroll down to the bottom, then select "UK". The problem is, when I do this, my iTunes account automatically logs my account out. When I try to log back in again, a German message comes up, which I've translated as saying something like "My Credit Card is not valid for the UK store. Please click OK to be transferred to the German store." When I do this, I get transferred back to the German store, and everything is in German again, on the iTunes store and on my iPod touch. I don't mind only being able to use the German store, but I want all the text to be in English. I only have a German credit card.
Edit: I've just noticed that the top Podcast list is also in German. I also want this to be the list as seen by people in the UK, as I would have similar tastes to them (BBC Podcasts etc...)...
Is there any way of doing this? Or am I now forced to return my iPod touch, which I really don't want to do... The App Store is why I got the iPod Touch in the first place, but if I can't use it, then it's useless....
Thanks for your help.

You can only shop an iTS of the country (ies) that you qualify. If you had kept you UK CC then you could still shop the UK iTS in English. The German iTS is for those folks in Germany and who have a German CC. I think you are stuck. From what I can see learning a few key words and the German iTS should be navigable. Ich kan sprechen ein bishien nicht sehr gut and spell even worse.

Does An Ipod Touch 5g need protection from scratches?

Hi there, I've recently been pondering whether my ipod touch 5g needs a screen protector. I like using the ipod with just a silicone case over it, so basically it's just a black soft gel back. There is no front facing protection, so I am using the screen with my bare hands. Is this alright? I'm NOT worried about dropping it, all I'm concerned about is scratching the screen primarily with my fingernails. I try to cut them as low as possible all the time, but is it still possible for the ipod to get scratches on it while using it? How resiliant is the glass? Scratch proof? Anyone have their own experiences with fingernail scratching on ipod touch 5g? Love to get some help. Thanks for all answers.

Unless you get grit on our fingers no screen protector is needed. It is grit, not fingernails that scratch the screen. I do not use a screen protector on any of my devices.

How to set up a new iPod Touch and transfer data from old IPod Touch

ok, it's Friday night, I finished the cheese and about 1/2 a bottle of wine (myself... not ideal for a smurf my size) and I still can't find the answer to my question after searching [to the best of my most current ability] all over the forums (I even searched long before I started drinking wine). I appologize right now for my ignorance and inability to find the answer on my own.... but could someone PLEASE, just tell me the best way to kill my daughter's Ipod Touch 2nd Gen (advertised as Gen 3, ha, ha, on me), and set up her new-(to-us) Ipod Touch Gen 4? I've already backed up her old device to my computer? (it's a PC - sorry, it's free from my husband's office)
Do I set up her new-ish Gen 4 as a "new device" or "restore from back up?" She's young enough (grade school - & why she gets old/cheaper HW) that we both still uses my iTunes acct for her device and mine so that I own & can monitor/manage the music that we both listen to... but this time I'll set up her own iCloud acct. Although the new device (let's call it device B) has been wiped clean from the last user, how do I set it up? New device or restore from bk up? Now that she saved up the $ I paid for it, to pay me, she's driving me crazy about getting it going for her. Her orig/current device, iPod Gen 2ish (we can refer to that as device A) has been backed up to my computer and I'd like to port all of her data (calendar, contacts, pictures/movies, etc) to her new device. Please help this old mom... my girl is driving me crazy... and I feel bad not delivering her goods. Many thanks.

Brand new ipod touch without january upgrade features included?!

I just bought my ipod sunday, it has john lennon on the box, model #A1213.
I dont recall what firmware it came with but I updated it to 1.1.4 as instructed by itunes summary page. Also I get an ad on start up of itunes to purchase the january upgrade. Shouldn't it already have the new features like mail, maps, the rearranging of the icons option, etc from the january upgrade?
Should I return the thing to the store and get a new one, or is this normal?

Welcome to the Forums!
All iPod Touches are model A1213 (including my very early 8 GB model from when they were first released). So, yours was most likely produced before the January upgrade. Check the part number on the box - if it ends in /A (e.g. MA627LL/A), it won't have the upgrade installed. If it ends in /B (e.g. MA627LL/B), then it should have the upgrade installed.
An Apple Store won't sell the old ones, but 3rd party retailers that have them will sell them (rather than take a loss!). Some retailers sell them at a "discount" of $20 off the Apple price. You can certainly complain to the store and ask for a new one, or get your $ back and look for one in another store - just check for the part number ending in /B.
Hope this helps...

Ipod touch 2g (8gb) upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.2, is this too big of a jump?

I have a 2g 8gb iPod touch that is currently running 3.1.3. I want to upgrade mainly because some of the apps I want now need iOS 4+ to run. I looked up how upgrades went for others with my same iPod and most said it went pretty well, especially if you were upgrading to 4.2. Is going from 3.1.3 to 4.2 too big of a jump to make in one upgrade?

Of course not.
Most never have any issue with any update.

New ipod touch user. Question!!

Ok, so i'm about to buy an ipod touch soon, and i have some free apps on my itunes already down. (i also have movies and music too). What i'm wondering, is when i sync my ipod touch to my itunes library, will the apps copy over? and if they do, next time i sync my ipod, will itunes reset all my apps to default?? (high scores, saved stuff, passwords, pictures etc) and if i buy apps from my touch, will they be erased ifi sync my ipod to the computer?? thank you to whoever answers this question! i'm excited to get my ipod! thx.

- If the iPod is signed into the same itunes account that purchased the apps and other stuff they can be synced to the new iPod.
- App data such as save games and status is included in the backup of what ever device the apps were installed, They are not included with the apps i our iTunes library. What you have to do is to backup the device that has the app data you want and then restore the new iPod using the backup of that device. You did not state what device has the apps now and thus the app data but most devices can be restored from the backup of other devices.
- If you purchase apps on the new iPod they will be/can be transfered to your computer if the computer is authorized for the account used to purchase the apps.

5-16-08-New Ipod Touch user ?

I'm using a pre-jan 08 ipod 16gb touch
how can i set a homepage for safari or even change safari settings on the touch
I don't have any of the new apps are they worth the $20 extra bucks
so far i've been just using google to check for maps, stocks, what's the big difference if you can use these features with wifi
also does the upgrade allow me to re arrange the icons on the home screen
what else does the upgrade allow me to do
should i wait for the next update

Are you asking if the "January Update Apps" will remain in the 2.0(app store included) release? Because the answer is YES, they will still be there.
If you wait until the next update, you MIGHT save money, because Apple MIGHT include the January update with the June update for those who don't have it. Actually, now that I think about it, Apple probably will include the January update in the June update just so it can be "one package deal" and they don't have to combine two firmwares. But, for now, no one knows for sure... You might want to wait and see if you can save $20...

IPod touch users offered UK nationwide Wi-Fi with The Cloud

*Check this out:-*
http://www.thecloud.net/page/3653 (iPod touch users offered UK nationwide Wi-Fi with The Cloud)
Sounds quite cool & not too expensive either...
Extract:-
+Friday, 28 September 2007+
The Cloud today announced that it is giving Wi-Fi access to owners of Apple’s new iPod touch in thousands of hotspots across the UK. From Monday, users will be able to use their iPod touch to access the internet and Apple's online iTunes service in Wi-Fi hotspots provided by The Cloud.
The new Wi-Fi service, called Cloud Unlimited Music, will be available from Monday 1st October 2007 for £3.99 per month, specifically for iPod touch, and is not subject to any minimum term contract.
Owen Geddes, Group Director of Business Development at The Cloud, commented; “We believe this is a significant step forward in making music, podcasts and video available when, and wherever, people really want it. iPhone users will soon be able to make the most of our Wi-Fi network with O2 and The Cloud when the iPhone is introduced in November and we want to make sure people who have the Wi-Fi enabled iPod touch are able benefit from our network of over 7,500 hotspots too.”
iPod Touch users need to sign-up for the service at http://www.thecloud.co.uk/ipod , where they can register their individual device for use on The Cloud’s network across the UK and pay for the service. Once a user has registered their device, they are able to connect to any The Cloud Wi-Fi network without complicated usernames and passwords. The service is being introduced in the UK first and will become available in other European markets shortly.
The Cloud offers wireless broadband access at thousands of locations across Europe, including airports, hotels and railway stations throughout the UK, Germany, the Nordics and The Netherlands.
*Obviously, for future UK iPhone owners, such Wi-Fi service is gonna be "free" (included in monthly contract bill)... BUT for itouch owners, what do people think of this new service?*

It works outside pubs as well Not very far away - about the same as walking along the street and picking up signals from houses. Walked through Birmingham City Centre today (close to Bull Ring) having got my Touch out and watched a YouTube video walking along, moving from one hotspot to another - a bit stuttery as the signal dropped sometimes as TheCloud hot spots didn't overlap. But, at the pub, you are chatting to your mates and someone mentions something on YouTube so you whip out your Touch, press YouTube and everyone can have a look at it. Pretty smart.
I've been testing it out last few days and, now, it's all seamless. No log in, just have wifi switched on and if signal appears can just press safari, youtube or itunes and "boom" it works.

New Ipod Touch will not play in BMW

I have a new Ipod touch that I bought from Apple. My 2010 BMW 128c will not recognized this Ipod touch or my wifes Ipod touch. It will recognize the one I bought my son at Best Buy. It also would not work with my previous BMW X5. I am using the adapter cable that came with the BMW. I work for BMW and they don't have any ideas. Is there a setting on Ipod touch that I need to turn on.

The problem may very well be the OS version you're using (3.0 or later). There were many reports of problems when Apple introduced 3.0 and it has been a problem ever since. In my case, when I changed from 2.2.1 to 3.0 my '09 Honda Fit lost the ability to select Artists, Playlists, etc. (but at least it plays). I was able to step back to 2.2.1 for awhile and it functioned correctly, but I decided to go back to 3.x once I realized that Apple wasn't going to fix this, and I wanted some of the 3.x features. I recall seeing that BMW, Mercedes, and a few other accessories were affected.
If your son's Touch works OK in your BMW, what OS version does he have? Chances are that it is version 1 or 2. You can blame Apple, but it may also be accessory manufacturers not following Apple's standards -- we'll never know, but one thing for sure is that this issue does not have Apple's attention since the problem remains after multiple OS releases since 3.0.
