There is a metal circle that goes under my home button. What is that for? How do i properly place the home button on the iPod Touch?

I need help!!

It's possible that Fiona doesn't know what you mean. I don't.
However, I wonder if you mean the small circle (that isn't metal) at the top of the screen.
That's a camera.
The only thing at the bottom of the iPod is the Home button - there's nothing underneath it. You can see in the picture, a recessed circle with a printed grey square inside it - the Home button.
(I have noticed that pictures of the 2nd gen Touch - which I own - do not show the small (also not metal) circle at the top left above the screen. It's a light sensor.)
So if your iPod does not look exactly like the one in the picture, can you post a picture of yours, with this small metal circle thing too?

When I got the prompt to update my iPod Touch 4th generation, the update claimed to have over 200 new features including Siri. Is there going to be another update that would make this a true statement?

Is there any way to find the serial number of an ipod touch that is no hooked up to the computer? It was stolen and we need the number to give to the police.

Oh, I don't think so. But it's amazing how many problems get solved via Google. Thanks for the star, enjoy your evening.

I have a new computer. I've installed iTunes. I don't want to lose the calendar and contact data nor the apps currently on my iPod Touch. Will that happen when I sync?

I don't think so. When you open iTunes, go to "Store" on the top and click "Authorize this Computer." Type in your email and pass, and click authorize. Then, when you connect you iPod for the first time, it should tell you "this iPod is synced with another computer, blah blah." It should give you the option to either "Erase and Sync," or "Transfer Purchases." Click "Transfer Purchases and your content should go into your new iTunes.
If this doesn't work and you still have your old computer there's another thing you can do. I know this works on windows, but I'm not sure how to do it on a Mac, maybe someone can offer some help. Assuming you have Windows, go to Start>Music>iTunes Media and you should see Music, Apps, Movies, etc. This is all the stuff in your iTunes. If you have an external hard drive or your iTunes library is small in terms of file size, you can do this in one go. Transfer the content (as much as you can fit at one time) onto the external storage. Then, put that content on your new computer on the desktop or somewhere where you can find it again. Open iTunes, and folder by folder highlight everything in the folder and drag it into the iTunes library. It should say "importing (content)" or something and then it should be in your library. If you look in your Music folder again, there should now be another "iTunes" folder there with all of your content back in it.
Hope one if these options works for you. Best of luck!

Is there any way I can change the computer of which my iPod Touch was originally associated with?

My computer has recently decided to reject my iPod Touch completely from it's system, it has also deleted all the data from my iTunes library. It claims that my iPod has been synced with another computer and states that they can only be associated with a single computer. I was wondering whether there was any way of which I can change the computer of which my iPod Touch was originally associated with? Is it possible? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Camera works, with the side buttons it takes pictures.

First try a restore from backup
If problem still occurs try a restore to factory defaults/new Pod.
If still occurs likely a hardware problem and an appoitment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

When you go to the Google Maps app on the iPod does it correctly find your location? The iPod's locations service uses the location of the a nearby wifi router to locate te iPod. However, not all routers are in Apple's database and as of yet nobody here knows of a way to add routers to the database.

My PC Harddrive died along with all the CD's that I have saved to the Itunes library. My IPOD touch has the library still so I would like to send the data from the IPOD to the PC to restore my library. Is this possible?

She has had it for about 6 months and this is the first time we have plugged it into the computer since then. I can not exit out of itunes either.

If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required. You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

No.
Also, do you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
