Question About Texting on iPod Touch

Against my will I am being dragged into the world of texting.... that being said please forgive me if this is a "dumb" question but I'm a real "texting newby".
If I receive a text message on my phone ( not an iPhone )from someone that may, or may not have the same wireless carrier as me can I reply to that person using some type of texting application on my iPod Touch? If so, where can I find instructions?
Thanks !

I use a free app I downloaded called textPlus. The itouch will only be able to send messages with a wifi connection. The person receiving the message will be charged for receiving your text. But messages you send from the itouch will be free.

Things like that happen and is normal.
If you can't turn it on:
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 another cable
- 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.

I have a question about the new ipod touch

I just got a 32GB ipod touch a week and one day ago and now i hear that a new one with more features is coming out. This is'nt fair since the new one has more features but costs $100 less than when i bought mine. Since i bought it recently is there anyways i can return it and get the new one instead? My ipod is still brand new without any scratches at all since i put a case on it as soon as i took it out of the box.

I purchased a refurbished iPod touch 8g about 10 days ago. I am thinking of sending it back. The question is it really worth the hassle? In Canada the 8g is going to sell for $259. I think I will loose 10% restocking fee plus shipping it back. Thoughts ??
Is it worth it?
Should I just upgrade the software and call it a day? Or get the new one.
Ideas...thoughts...opions???

Question about Shipping new iPod Touch

I ordered my iPod Touch on September 4th 9AM and said to deliver Sep 17 with Overnight. Online, if you buy now it is said to ship within 3-5 days, and you can purchase the 1 day shipping.
If you purchase the online one now, that mean it would get shipped to your house by 13th with the maximum of business days to ship from their warehouse; 5 days is the max. Should I repurchase my iPod since my pre order is not going to get to my house till the 17th? Sounds to me, like they ripped off the pre orders. ><

I ordered mine on the 1st. Was told the estimated delivery is between the 10th and 14th. But, I got it already. It was shipped out on the 6th from China. So, it took about 2 days from oversea to my hands. (China-->Alaska-->NY) So, I think you should get it early next week.

Quick Question about Moving from iPod Touch 2G to iPhone 4

I've had an iPod Touch for just over 2 years and am planning to get the Verizon iPhone 4 as soon as it is released. Does anyone know if I will be able to move all my apps with their data to the iPhone? For example, I have a weight watcher type app where I have been recording what I eat, weight loss, etc for months. I'd like to bring that information with me. Plus my game scores and levels I've beaten, etc. Before, when I have plugged in a new device iTunes has asked me if I want to restore data from my iPod 2G backup or from my iPad backup. If I do that, will it give me the desired result?

Ignore the previous post, as it's quite obvious the poster has no idea what they are talking about. App data is stored in your touch backups. Restoring your new phone from that backup will restore the data to your new phone. Follow the directions here:

Question about a lost iPod touch 4

I have an iPod touch 4 that I gave to my employers' 6 yo son. The touch is linked to my iTunes acct. Question: They lost it, out of state. They have looked for it, including gone back to stores, etc. Before I consider it gone, I was just wondering if by chance my contacts would automatically be on there, since I have a contact set up for me with my phone number and address.(maybe someone would be nice and mail it to me) Also, would I know if someone erased it? No, I did not have find my iphone set up on it. I don't think my account has been compromised I have an iTunes card balance that hasn't changed and no unauthorized purchases. How safe am I, and should I change acct info?

lost/stolen
- Someone may email you if you did not have the screen lock passcode. If I found an unlocked device I would go to the Settings>iTunes and App Store and send an email to the Apple ID email address.
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Question about the new iPod Touch 5G?

When in October will it come out? On the Apple site it says it will come in October. Does that mean October 1st? Also i'm debating in which color to get I might get yellow or blue, do you think the yellow color looks sorta greenish? Many people are saying it looks green a little and I don't see it! But I think the pink looks orange. I saw a test video of the new ipod in the store and the pink looked orange lol. thanks!

When in October will it come out? On the Apple site it says it will come in October. Does that mean October 1st?
Unlikely. And only Apple knows. But when Apple is non-specific on a date, it almost never means the earlest date, and in some cases they have had to add days to the month, as in when the iPhone 1st gen was released it was the 32nd of the month :-)
Colors are a personal thing. If you have a store that sells iPod Touchs, then visit the store when they start to display them, and check out the colors in person, as colors on computer screens are rarely "True" colors because most monitors are not calibrated.

A few general questions about the different iPod Touch models

What is the difference between the 2nd Generation and the 3rd Generation iPod Touch?
How often do they release a new generation model?
Does anyone know yet how the 4th Generation model will compare to the 3rd and 2nd Generation models?
Thank you.

What is the difference between the 2nd Generation and the 3rd Generation iPod Touch?
See:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipod_touch#Models
As to when a new model might be released and what it might feature, no one here knows or can say. We'll all just have to wait and see. As Sandra indicated, you can read the various rumor sites, but as to what rumors if any you can believe, your guess will be as good as ours.

A quick and easy question about my NEW Ipod Touch.

Okay, I broke down and replaced my old ipod. This new one came with earphones, a cord to connect it to my computer and a little plastic piece that obviously fits on one end of the ipod. Here's my question: WHAT IS IT FOR?
Thanks in advance!
Annie

It's a dock adaptor. There are some devices (eg. speaker systems) which have a slot that fits the 30-pin dock connector for iPods, but the slot is the same size as the iPod Classic, as it is the largest iPod that is compatible with such systems. The dock adaptor that came with your iPod is supposed to fit around the base of your iPod and prevent it from being bent forwards or backwards, as this can damage or even break the dock connector.

Question about syncing multiple ipods to one iTunes library

I have an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 3.1.3) that I sync to my computer. My daughter recently got an iPod touch (2nd gen Ver 4.0) that was under her father's account. I reset her iPod in order to put it under my iTunes store account. Next I synced her iPod with my computer adding only the items she wanted (games mostly and a few songs).
iTunes didn't seem to have a problem with our devices being different versions. So far so good. I have only synced her device once and haven't synced mine since. We have both purchased apps straight to our iPods and they aren't backed up.
My questions are:
1. Before syncing, will I have to go check everything I want every time in iTunes?
2. We use some of the same apps and games. Will the game data and/or app data be written by another players data? Can you tell I'm really just concerned about my TapFish score?
I'm holding off on syncing until I know the answers.

well, it would be better to keep everything checked in your library and instead create separate playlists for each mobile device.

you can use as many mobile devices as you want with a single iTunes library. iTunes treats each device separately.
i have two Nano's, an iPod Touch, and an iPad syncing with the same library.

Questions for 1st generation ipod touch

3 questions 1: i have a 1st generation ipod touch what is its ios 2: can i get imessagew on my ipod touch and 3: if so how

Illaass:
A search of the iTunes Store produces:
iMessage: (developer, Philip Strain) which requires iOS 4 or later
iMessage - Just write a message: (developer Graziano Grennaro) which requires a 3rd generation iPod Touch running iOS 4.0
i-Message: (developer, Rob Wheeler) which requires iOS 3.1.2
Since Apple have allowed three different developers to create an App, one with an identical name to their own App, two more with very similar and easily confusable names (just look at the icon for iMessage - Just write a message), and one has to interpret the OP's questions broadly, given the use of "imessagew" and the fact that he/she was asking specifically which iOS was on their iPod, then my answer was appropriate but incomplete, not wrong.
It begs the question of who wrote in the added text "iOS 2.X"?
It also means that if the OP wants to purchase the Philip Strain App, he/she can do so.
