Updating to 4.3.3..... help?
A couple weeks ago, I realized that I needed to update my 3rd gen iPod touch from it's original ios. I ended up having to restore my settings, then use my previous back up to get my stuff back on my iPod. I updated to ios 4.2.1, and everything was fine and dandy up until about yesterday. YouTube started not working at all, the saved photos library wouldn't update, things like bookmarks in Safari kept mysteriously disappearing and reappearing. My iPod wouldn't sync with iTunes at all. I tried deleting some apps to clear up memory, and when that didn't work, I figured if I updated to the newest version of iTunes, that might help, so I did that today, and I'm now running 10.3.1.55. I discovered that 4.3.3 is the newest software update for my ipod, so I checked for an update on iTunes, and got a message saying that ios 4.2.1 was the most up to date version. Then I tried a direct download of it as a .zip, and converted it to a .ipsw. When I try to select that file to update, it says that the firmware is incompatible. No idea what to do now. I don't really care if I update or not, I just want my iPod to start working properly again. Thanks.
I'm running Windows XP sp3 with version 10.3.1.55 of iTunes and have a 3rd gen 8gb iPod touch running ios 4.2.1.
EDIT: okay, so apparently I actually have a 2nd gen. How I didn't know this before is beyond me. Anyway, I don't think I can update to ios 4.3.3 with a 2nd gen, but the question still stands: How do I get my ipod back to normal again?

Unfortunately there is a great deal of confusion regarding the 3rd generation iPod Touch. They were available in 32gB and 64gB models only. There never was an 8gB version. You have a 2nd generation and 4.2.1 is the highest iOS available for it.

I currently have iTunes version 7 on my computer and need to upgrade to version 10 to sync my new nano iPod. When I tried the "check for updates" under the version 7 "help" menu, it said it could not contact the update server. I am afraid if I just download version 10 from the website, it will wipe out my music library. What should I do to upgrade?
Back up your music and install from the website. You probably won't need to do this, but if your library is erased, restore it from the backup.

You've logged into your account and viewed your purchase history and there aren't any error messages shown (e.g. 'problem with a previous purchase'), and you haven't got any purchases due (e.g. pre-orders and/or subscriptions) : Why can’t I select None when I edit my Apple ID payment information ?

Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.
Your feed is at http://blacktribbles.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
When subscribed to in iTunes the recent episodes show, but the Store hasn't updated for some time.
There appears to be an issue with the feed. In the episode 'WRESTLING MARCH MADNESS: Final Bracket & Championship' of 31st March you will find in the 'description' tag the following line:
4. KURT ANGLE
At the end of this line is an invisible character which seems to be wrecking the feed - although it works OK when suscribing in iTunes it won't load in a browser (and I also found the feed very slow to load, which won't help matters with the Store)
This sort of thing usually happens when you paste text in from a word processing application and manage to include one of the invisible control characters. I don't know how easy it will be do do it in Podomatic but you should delete that entire line and retype it to remove this charter.
You should keep an eye on the time it takes the feed to be accessed - if there is a long enough delay (and it was quite some seconds when I tried) the Store may well timeout and fail to read it. At the moment it's showing a cached version from the last time it was able to read it. -
I have a problem in my iphone 4 with wi-fi after update to IOS6 please can help my how can solve this problem?
Nope
One needs to press the home and sleep / wake keys together for the phone to reset
The other thing I could recommend
Let the battery run out and the phone completely "die"
It may take a day or two with it not being used
Then plug it in to charge and see if there is any change in behavior
If you cannot get this to work - you may need to bring it to an Apple store -
I updated my iPad 2 OS to iOS 6.0..after that I am unable to download or update anything from the App Store. The MSG I get is "id not valid for US store. Go to Indian store for purchase"..never faced this problem earlier before the update to OS 6..help!!
Apple's response to my email:
"I understand that you can't update your apps using your iPad.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available.
Thank you for your patience. Apple wants your iTunes experience to be as enjoyable as possible. Have a great day!" -

i cannot find a way to update my itunes to 10.6.8. i need this in order to sync my new ipod. i just updated to 10.6.3.help!
As Limnos says, you first need to update to OS X 10.6.8 before you can install iTunes 11 (please note the version numbers).
To update OS X close all running applications and make sure you have a current backup. Then pull down the Apple menu and select Software Update. This may show you several items that you can update. Choose OS X 10.6.8. This may take some time. After the process is complete you will be able to run Software Update again and it ought to offer you iTunes 11. -

Apple recently made me change my password which was fine but now it keeps telling me the security code on my visa is incorrect now matter how many times i re-enter it. I can no longer download or update my phone. Please help!!!!
Did you go on-line and fix your billing information? You probably need to do this from iTunes on your computer, not your phone.
If you've double checked your credit card info and it still won't take it, contact your card issuer. -
