Several issues with iPod touch. please help!
Ok. So i have several issues going on with my iPod touch. i got it for Christmas in 2010, i have recently updated it. after the update these issues have happened.
1. Screen won't rotate. Photos won't rotate. The screen won't rotate for horizontal keyboard use. Even for some apps that you have to rotate the screen, it just wont rotate. i have tried everything! i have read other discussions about this issue and they said there is a lock with an arrow around it in the top right corner, in my ipod there is not.
2. After i updated my iPod i noticed about 20 of my songs went missing! they are no where to be found on my iPod AND my iTunes! I purchased all of those 20 songs and am kind of mad they randomly disappeared. i have looked in every place a song could be and they are not there.
3. I have recently downloaded some apps and wheni went to try them, they would almost load and then crash and go back to the home screen. a bunch of my apps do that now. i have tried restarting my iPod and i have tried to open the apps like a million times and everytime they crash and goes to the home screen of my iPod. they are all free apps. some of the apps are: Impossible Test: summer, angry birds, angry birds: rio, angry birds: seasons. some of them i have been able to play a couple times, then they randomly stared crashing.
someone please help me with these problems! thank you!
For #1:
- Have you restored the iPod from backup?
- Have your restored the iPod to factoery defaults/new iPod?
If restoring from backup does not solve a problem then your likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
For #2:
If you are in the USA and using the latest iTunes then you can redownload music via the iCloud beta. See:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise you can contact iTunes and they MAY allow a redownload. See:

Major Issues with iPod Touch - Please help!
Hi, I am having major issues with my iPod, and nothing seems to be going right. It all started a few days after I got it for Christmas. I would wake up, and my iPod would be completely discharged even though it had a full battery and was turned off. I woke up one night and found that it came on all by myself. I sent it into iPod, and they sent it back saying nothing was wrong. Since I got it back today and within six hours, I have had four software crashes to the point where I have had to uninstall iTunes and restore factory settings four times. I am now on my fifth crash, but this time, the screen won't even come on. It keeps saying that it is in recovery mode. I simply went to turn it on! Does anyone have any suggestions? Personally, I think there is a short, and that I need a new a replacement. However, it doesn't seem like Apple is very supportive of the idea. I go through all of their steps over and over and over, and the same thing happens! What is going on? Please help.
Mariesounds like, for the charging problem anyways, that you are just putting ipod into "Stand by" mode... press and hold the power key for about 10 seconds and an option to power off will actually come on.. if u just press it and let go, it just goes to stand by.. i have noticed stand by drains my battery
also, it doesn't sound like a short to me... the charging i am pretty sure is bc you are only putting it into standby however, the rest sounds like software.. did u try and restore using itunes or did you just reset the factory defaults?? Plug it into itunes and click restore under the ipod menu...

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.
You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync". -

I am battling to get my Album Artwork updated in my Ipod Touch - please help?
Just a guess here, but it sounds like iTunes is under the impression that some of the song files it is managing are located on a removable drive. Do all of your songs play from iTunes? That might be hard to know if you have thousands of songs, but if a song was imported into iTunes, but the file was deleted afterward (like if you used removable media), you might get a warning like that, and the song wouldn't play in iTunes. Just a thought.

WRT400N connection issues with iPod Touch and MacBook
I'm a newbie, so please bear with me.
I recently upgraded to the WRT400N from a Linksys BEFW11S4.
Since the change, the connection to iPod Touches and MacBooks at the house have been shaky at best. The connection frequently drops out completely on the iPod Touch even if it's right next to the router.
I've tried resetting the router, changing settings on the iTouch and MacBooks, but the problem persists. I don't want to mess with the router settings as I'm not experienced in that area.
Can anyone please help me?
Thank you.You can try the below mentioned settings.
Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
On the set-up tab change the MTU Size to 1365 and click Save Settings...
Once you return to the set up page click on the Security tab and uncheck Block Anonymous Internet Requests and click on Save Settings...
Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304 Change the RTS Threshold to 2307 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...
This should fix the issue for you. -
Issues with iPod Touch and latest update (4.3.3)?
I recently updated my iPod Touch 3G to 4.3.3. Before updating, I had absolutely no issues. Since updating, the iPod will shut off at will, sometimes flickering, sometimes going straight to the "slide to shut down" screen. Sometimes it will shut down in the middle of an app, I'll start it back up, and it will shut down again immediately. Occasionally, when I start it up after crashing, it will make the camera shutter sound! And there's no camera on this iPod!
Possible extenuating circumstance: I upgraded from a Power PC iMac to an Intel iMac at the same time I updated the software on the iPod. I have read the suggestions and the troubleshooting guide, and nothing has helped so far. I wiped the iPod clean and reinstalled and all that did was wipe out my settings (of course). Resyncing the iPod worked (apps and music loaded fine), but still it shuts down without warning. I tried installing a new free app, but that didn't work.
Usually I'm pretty good at figuring out these sorts of issues, but I'm at my wits end. Is anyone else having these problems? Am I screwed?Okay, so now I have read that you have to install a free app through the phone, not through the computer. I've done so and it looks like everything is good for now. Keeping my fingers crossed. My question now, is that if this is a common occurance with the 4.3.3 update, why did Apple imply that I needed to wipe my iPod clean when this was the much easier and less invasive answer?

Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iPod backup that iTunes makes.

Firefox constantly freezing due to issues with Flash. Please help.
I was running the firefox 20 beta (and have been for a while) when in the last few days, suddenly any time I tried to open any site that used even the slightest amount of flash, the browser would freeze for minutes on end before finally releasing a "plugin error" type message about Shockwave Flash. If i clicked 'continue' it would stay frozen. If i clicked 'stop script' then sometimes it would fix it, but most of the time it would keep freezing and showing that same message over and over until I stopped the process in task manager.
First I tried to update flash and shockwave- both are up to date. So i decided to delete the files themselves and the programs via add/remove and reinstalled them. Still did not fix the problem.
Next I tried to do a reset firefox to default state. This didn't work. I tried doing it again with the flash files deleted/uninstalled AND I rebooted the computer and the problem still persisted.
Finally, I tried to downgrade to a more stable version of firefox, so I downloaded 19 and it still didnt work. Tried the uninstall/re install for flash one more time and nothing.
At this point, I cannot access about half of the pages I usually go to on the web and I need help here, please anything will do.
One thing that I noticed that might be helpful is that no matter how many times i uninstalled or reinstalled flash, every time it would try to run, task manager would show two instances of it, each using different amount of memory.
again, please please help. If there is any solution short of a total wipe it would be greatly appreciatedhello, maybe it's an issue with the protected mode in the flash plugin - you could try if [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/flash-113-crashes#w_solution-2-downgrade-to-flash-10-3 downgrading to flash 10.3] (which is still supported) or [http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1018071#TemporaryWorkaround disabling protected mode] makes a difference.

Itunes (Mac) won't recognize ipod touch - please help!!
Hi. I have a brand new 4th-gen ipod Touch. I'm running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.1 on a Macbook. I have three other ipods (classic, shuffle x 2) and they all work fine. THe USB cable and port work fine with other ipods (and with this one on the rare occasions it works properly) and the ipod touch, when it's cooperating, seems to function OK so I don't think it's a hardware failure. It hasn't been dropped/wet, and I've only used it for 4 days.
Bit of a saga and I'm getting seriously fed up!
The ipod touch synced OK the first time I went to set it up, I installed some music/apps and all seemed fine. Then the next time itunes wouldn't recognize it so I couldn't sync (it just charges through the USB but does nothing else). So I ran through all the suggested tests on Apple support (turning on/off, checking I had the right versions of stuff, etc), that didn't help so I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10. That worked, and the ipod touch synced and I was able to use it again. BUT, the day after that, it went back to not being recognized. Tried everything again, reinstalled itunes - that worked. Then the next day... not recognized again!
So I phoned Apple support, and the guy told me to hard reset and restore factory settings, which I did but it failed: first time it didn't restore (was just same as before). Second time I tried it froze and I got Error #1611. Tried again and got Error #1618 which isn't even listed on the Apple Support page the error message links to (by this stage it was showing the plug into itunes screen you get when you first turn it on, but only when plugged into a USB port - wouldn't turn on when not connected). So I called Apple Support again (different person this time) and was told it was a possible hardware failure and I should take it to my local Apple Reseller.
Apple Reseller staff looked at it, confirmed that it'd only turn on when connected to computer, so they plugged it into one of theirs and restored the factory settings. THis time successful (ipod working again) but went to sync to itunes and AGAIN it wouldn't recognized it. Went through the whole uninstall/reinstall process for itunes and got the ipod to sync. But now.... not recognized again!! I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling itunes every time I want to sync the ipod, that's just ridiculous.
Has anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?I think I might have fixed it (touch wood, cross fingers, etc)...
Here's what I did:
In Finder, under "Go", select "Go to folder".
When the box comes up, enter this folder name: /system/library/launchdaemons
Click "go"
Locate this file: com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
Put it in the trash
(NB: there's also a file called "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" in that folder - don't touch that one)
Restart computer
Open itunes, connect ipod
If the ipod appears in itunes, restart and try again to confirm it's working.
This came from instructions someone else posted on another Apple discussion about an ipod touch not syncing. That reply said to do the software updates from the Apple menu first, but I did that and they failed to install but the above still worked, so the updates might not be necessary. -
Issue With Adding Layers - Please Help!
I am having an issue where Photoshop is not allowing me to add any kind of new layer to images that I'm editing. It won't allow it while it's a .NEF or after it's become a .PSD. If I open an image that already contains layers and is saved as a .PSD, then it allows me to add layers no problem. If I start a new blank document it will allow me to add layers. It's just not allowing me to do it with files that have been imported within the last week. It doesn't seem like a system resource issue since it allows me to add layers to older files. If you have any thoughts on this please help!

-TonyWell... sort of fixed it. Apparently my system doesn't like editing images with a color depth of 16bit. If I convert it down to 8 when I'm converting it from RAW, then it allows me to add layers... Is this normal?
