No icon for iPod touch.

Ok, so I used to have an iPod nano that when I would plug it into my Mac, an icon would show up and when I wanted to eject it I would drag the icon down to the trash can. Now, with the iPod touch, nothing shows up. Did I do something wrong or does this feature not apply to the touch.

It doesn't apply to the iPod Touch. It won't ever appear on the desktop. Eject the iPod using the blue eject button to the right of your iPod in the devices list.

  • "Connect to iTunes" icon on iPod Touch 2G???

    On Wednesday I upgraded to OS 3.0 on my 16 GB iPod Touch 2G. Everything was working fine until this afternoon when I turned on my iPod to read an e-book that I had been reading earlier and there was a black screen with an icon of a USB plug and an arrow pointing to an iTunes icon. I tried shutting down completely. It didn't help. I tried charging it with a wall plug. (I was at work and couldn't get to iTunes.) It didn't help.
    When I got home I connected it to my MacBook and ITunes, it synced and all seems to be well now, but what the heck happened? Is this a sign I have a problem lurking in the background? (And, no, it's not a jailbroken iPod and never has been.) I bought it new, I'm the only user, and it's worked flawlessly until this.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Judie

    Have you had this happen before? I haven't. I tried googling "Connect to iTunes icon for iPod Touch" and there were a couple of posts but I sensed that those folks had it happen on a jailbroken iPod.
    Did you upgrade to the new iPhone OS 3.0?
    I'm hoping someone that knows what caused this will reply so that maybe we can prevent it from happening again. It sure was a helpless feeling when I couldn't get to iTunes while at work. Now I feel like I can't depend on the iPod to always work properly.

  • How to create backup file on itunes for ipod touch 4g game apps data? Is there a way to do it? I want to try an app on my friend's computer, but you can't add apps on another computer without having your own ipod's data being deleted. Thx for any help!

    I want to know how to create a backup file (because I'm pretty new with itunes, and it's hard to use it for me still), how to store my app data/media/videos, etc. And how I can retrieve them back when I'm done with the app I tried on my friend's computer.
    If anyone can help, it'd be great! Thank you so much!

    Sure-glad to help you. You will not lose any data by changing synching to MacBook Pro from imac. You have set up Time Machine, right? that's how you'd do your backup, so I was told, and how I do my backup on my mac.  You should be able to set a password for it. Save it.  Your stuff should be saved there. So if you want to make your MacBook Pro your primary computer,  I suppose,  back up your stuff with Time machine, turn off Time machine on the iMac, turn it on on the new MacBook Pro, select the hard drive in your Time Capsule, enter your password, and do a backup from there. It might work, and it might take a while, but it should go. As for clogging the hard drive, I can't say. Depends how much stuff you have, and the hard drive's capacity.  As for moving syncing from your iMac to your macbook pro, should be the same. Your phone uses iTunes to sync and so that data should be in the cloud. You can move your iTunes Library to your new Macbook pro
    you should be able to sync your phone on your new MacBook Pro. Don't know if you can move the older backups yet-maybe try someone else, anyways,
    This handy article from Apple explains how
    How to move your iTunes library to a new computer - Apple Support''
    don't forget to de-authorize your iMac if you don't want to play purchased stuff there
    and re-authorize your new macBook Pro
    time machine is an application, and should be found in the Applications folder. it is built in to OS X, so there is nothing else to buy. double click on it, get it going, choose the Hard drive in your Time capsule/Airport as your backup Time Machine  and go for it.  You should see a circle with an arrow on the top right hand of your screen (the Desktop), next to the bluetooth icon, and just after the wifi and eject key (looks sorta like a clock face). This will do automatic backups  of your stuff.

  • Remote for ipod touch

    is there a way to use remote for ipod touch and iphone with only bluetooth?
    i'm running 3.1 os for ipod touch and i have itunes 9

    If you mean using the remote app for controlling itunes with your touch using only bluetooth, as others have said, that's a no. This might be an ignorant suggestion, but someone who knows more about it can maybe post after me. If you're connecting your macbook to the internet with an ethernet cable rather than a wifi router, can you set up a macbook as a wifi connection spot so that your ipod is connecting directly to the macbook via wifi? I would imagine you could use the remote app then.
    I also sort of thought you were asking if there was a way to control your ipod touch using a remote via bluetooth, and that's also a no, but you can use a remote with a dock connector.

  • I have forgotten my password for iPod Touch 4G and it is now disabled. I tried connecting to iTunes but i haven't synced before and i need to enter the password before i can back it up so i can restore it. I don't want to lose pictures so please help!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Can't install iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch

    I am trying to download the iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch from http://www.apple.com/ipodtouch/whatsnew.html so I can download apps for my new iPod touch. (Although it is pretty bogus that I should have to pay $10 for an upgrade on a brand new device so that I have the privilege to buy apps). I have iTunes 7.7 already installed.
    When I click on the link https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLandingPage , I do not get a download, and iTunes does not open. Nothing happens if I open iTunes before trying this link either.
    Instead, I get a brief page which says "One Momemt Please". Connecting to the iTunes Store. Loading... If iTunes doen't open, click the iTunes application in your Doc or Windows Task Bar" , then my browser is redirected to http://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/download/?itmsUrl=itmss%3A%2F%2Fphobos.ap ple.com%2FWebObjects%2FMZFinance.woa%2Fwa%2FtouchLandingPage%3Fign-mscache%3D1 which tells me to download iTunes... but I already have iTunes installed.
    I installed (then uninstalled, reinstalled) the latest iTunes (7.7.0.43) and the problem persists. iTunes works fine for all other uses.
    I have the problem with both Firefox (3.0) and Internet Explorer (6)
    How can I download and install The iPhone 2.0 Software Update for iPod touch directly from iTunes? I cannot find it when I search for it. It is not listed in the App store.
    (P.S. The web support form does not work when I tried to fill out a problem report for "Connection" issues. Although I filled in all form fields, it would not send the report, telling me I did not fill in a field.)

    The upgrade now appears directly in iTunes, so I do not need to access it from the web page. I see many others are encountering problems installing the upgrade, so I'll see how it goes...
    There is no answer to the initial problem that iTunes install does not configure the browsers to handle the itmss:// protocol.
    I still think Apple should not charge for this for a brand new iPod purchased just this week.

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • Looking for specific case for iPod touch to

    I saw this awesome case for an iPhone, it was pretty thick, made of rubber I think. The feature that blew me away was that in the back panel of the case was a place to wind up the ear phone cord, and two notches for the ear buds to snap in, and they seemed pretty flush with the case when in them. Even though it was for an iPhone I was curious if they had one for iPod touch, I couldn't find anything like it in the Apple Store. Does anyone know the one I'm describing?

    I think this is the case you're describing:

  • How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

    My Local iTune Store (Thailand) don't have iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch.
    How can i purchase iPhone OS 3.0 for iPod Touch 2G ?

    What they have written to you is wrong.
    That download was available at all the online stores: if you looked at the main page of the Thai app store at the time it was released (and for a couple of weeks after) it clearly displayed a 3.0 update advertisement. I was able to update a 3G iPhone and a first generation iPod touch using my account on the Thai app store.
    Are you accessing the iTunes store, using iTunes (or the Thai online store at http://store.apple.com/th)? It is the one using iTunes that you need.
    What you need to do to download this, is to connect your iPod touch to the computer (your details do not say which computer or OS you use) and in the iTunes panel that opens, there is a button to check for updates (although the update may appear by itself). If this still reports that it is unavilable, let me know and I will ask someone.
    You will not be able to change your account, but there is nothing to prevent you setting up a new account in the US as long as (for purchasing) you use a US credit card.
