Using Back Up Mode is taking me quite literally days to complete! Is this at all normal? Am I doing something wrong? How can I speed up this process so that I can update my iPod touch's operating system!

This is my first time joining the Apple Support Communities Help Line.

  • HT1689 IOS Unable to make a re playable videos since the update. Is this by design or am I doing something wrong?

    You can make the playlist in itunes and it shows up in the ipod (Video) but the list is empty. Any news on this??

    Try selecting the files in iTunes, then clicking File > Create New Version > Create iPod version.
    If that doesn't do it, there might be a problem with the files, try testing with files from this Apple doc -> Verifying iTunes video conversion and video syncing using sample QuickTime files

  • Ipod touch 5 operating system

    Hi! A fast question: how can I ensure my new ipod 5(I haven't bought it yet) has ios 7.0 and not 7.1 or higher before I buy it? I insist on an ipod with ios 7.0 and if I want, I'll later update it.

    OK thanks for the replies! Well I don't insist so much I just want to see ios 7.0 first but since I don't think ios 7.1 will be much different from ios 7.0(in appearance I mean) and it still hasn't been released ok. That's good.

  • Why am I not able to use "selection" as a print range option when using the print preview feature? Is this facility available or am I doing something wrong?

    Having seleted some text on a web page which is the only information I would like to print, I seem to be unable to preview what the printed page will look like using the "Selection" option in the Print Range section of the "Print" Menu from the Print Preview window. The radio button for "Selection" is not selectable!
    I am able to do this using Internet Explorer, which is probably my main reason for using that browser but would like to use a similar feature in Firefox

    That connection is supported for tethering....

  • 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.

    Nothing you can do. Presently the Apple servers are overloaded because of iOS 6.

  • Updated my ipod touch to ios 5.1 can no longer use iMessage. Help?

    I updated my iPod Touch to the new ios 5.1 the other day and since then I am having trouble with my iMessage, th send button is constantly greyed out and when I select my other iphone/ipod imessage users it tells me that they are not registered with iMessage when they qute clearly are? I've looked at a number of forums and just cannot find any answers! I'm baffled!

    If you are messaging an iPhone, you may use the phone-number of the iPhone to iMessage them without a problem. When you are attempting to connect to an iPod Touch or iPad, you must use an email address as that is how Apple can identify the iPhone. However, you have to be careful. This email might not be the email they use everyday or the email that is used as their Apple ID. They may have chosen to use a different email to associate specifically with iMessage. This should not have any dependence on the operating system (I am using iMessage on an iPod Touch 4th generation iOS 5.1 without a problem). However, you might be making some mistake in your procedure or there may be a bug in the iMessage tied with iOS 5.1 that was able to reach you but not me. I suggest that you, if your warranty has not expired, contact support for iPod Touch, for iPhone, or for iPad. If all else fails, you should make an appointment with an Apple Genius Bar for free!

  • Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?

    Why can't I update my ipod touch to the iOS 4.3?
    I try to update my ipod touch 4th gen. to the new iOS 4.3 software and the thing loads and after the 7-8 minutes or so, when it says "processing file" a pop up says that the network connection has timed out, and to check my network settings. I've tried several different times and get the same result. My wi-fi is working with all three bars and my computer is also connected to the internet. I've tried restoring it but it says I have to get the new software and then I get the same result( this time ipod not restored).... What's going on with my ipod? Anyone help?

    Hi,
    Have you tried to see if you have the newest version of iTunes? Also, it may help if you try the following steps.
    Download iOS from a third-party website (i reccomend http://whited00r.com/) (as this is a full operating system, it is a big download and may take time on a slow internet connection)
    Unzip the file.
    After unzipping, you should now have a .ipsw file.
    Open iTunes
    Connect your device and make sure you take a back-up of it first (if you don't all your data will be erased)
    Now, while pressing the Restore button, hold down the Alt key (for Mac) or the Shift key (for Windows).
    You should now have a window open asking you to choose a file.
    Choose the file you just downloaded from whited00r.com
    Press OK
    It should start replacing your current OS to the new one.
    When this finishes, your device will restart
    Click restore from (whatever your old device was called)
    It will put back all your apps and information

  • Can't update my iPod Touch to 3.1 (Windows 7 here). Help

    Every time I try to update my iPod Touch to 3.1 it says that an error occurred (says "error 14) and then I can't update my iPod. It is now useless without any system. Help!!! BTW, I'm on Windows 7.

    I'm getting Error 5002 and I'm betting iTunes is just getting hammered right now.
    My attempt to get in before the onslaught failed.
    When the crush recedes we may both stop having problems.
    edit : Windows 7 may not be the problem here, though Apple still doesn't list it as supported, if you still have iTunes 8 I would just wipe version 9 for now and go back to it.
