  • There used to be an option on the home screen of the store that let you look at lists of songs made by users - what happened to this feature??

    On the home screen of the itunes store on the right hand side - there used to be an option that let you choose songlists - lists of certain songs made by itunes users - for example workout songs, love songs, date night songs, songs to run by .... 

    I believe this was part of the iTunes "Ping" feature, which has been removed since iTunes 11.

    Screen on ipod touch freezes and then goes white. Ihave restarted it and restored it but it didn't work. Anyone know what is wrong with it and how it can be fixed?

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    Newsstand suppresses the home screen from the app switcher view when the home button is pressed.
    Has anyone else seen this before, I needed to lock and unlock iPad to get back to the home screen.

    Aloha Ethan. Fortunately it's working as designed, but you'd never believe how many people wanted to argue with me smply because it worked differently. Can't please everybody I guess.  Bob. 

  • What does a '0' mean on the home screen where the 3G icon usually is?

    What does a '0' mean on the home screen where the 3G icon usually is?

    That's the icon for GPRS, no EDGE. You have three available data-modes on all 3G-enabled iPhones (3G, 3Gs and 4): The little circle or o for GPRS, the E for Edge and the 3G for UMTS. No icon at all means no data-transfer (no MMS, no Visual Voicemail, no Internet and so on).

  • I updated my 3GS. It goes through the updating process then at the end a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode and cant finish. My phone has lost everything and doesn't even have the home screen just the iTunes symbol. What can I do?????

    I updated my 3GS to the latest OS. iTunes was updated first, when iTunes finishes updating my phone a box pops up that says my phone is in recovery mode so I click the update button and it goes the whole update cycle again. I unplugged my phone after 4 cycles of updating but now there is NOTHING on my phone, not even the home screen just the itunes symbol . I've tried rebooting my phone but there is still nothing there. HELP!!!!! What can I do

    sounds like your phone was jailbroken.

  • Is there a such thing as too many apps ? I have 29 apps and I would like to know If I get more apps would my ipod start freezing and going slow ? Please and thank you  

    Can you guys help me ?

    That is not too many by a long shot.
    To speed up your iPod try:
    - Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory.
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost

  • IPod Touch still stuck on connect to iTunes screen after the restore. iTunes went blank.

    Hi, I'm having problems with my iPod Touch. My iPod went off because the battery was empty. And when I tried connecting it to my laptop to recharge, the "connect to iTunes" screen suddenly appeared. According to iTunes I need to RESTORE it for it to work. And that's exactly what I did. However, after the restore and all, the screen is still stuck on the "connect to iTunes" screen.
    By the way, it's a 2nd generation iPod Touch. And it's an MC model.
    And to make things worse, my iTunes screen is totally empty. The RESTORE option is gone and I really don't know what to do anymore.
    Hope you guys can help me out! I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!

    I really don't know what happened but my iPod Touch is working now!!! Thank you so much! I'm not really sure if it went to DFU mode or not but all of a sudden I can access iTunes App Store already!!! WOOOOAAAAHHHH! And it asked me to type in a new name for my iPod! So everything's good! Thank you so much! Thank you! You have no idea how happy I am right now!
    For my iTunes:
    Thank you!
    P.S: Grrrrrrrr! My bad! I'm new here and I kind of messed up the Correct Answer and Helpful Answer buttons. Sorry. Dunno how to change them.

  • My ipod touch charges, and even shows up on Itunes, but the screen doesn't turn on, how can i fix this?

  • IPod Touch freezes and cannot be opened but still plays songs

    i have 6months old iPod Touch 8gb and even in the first week of my purchase, while playing songs, it will suddenly freeze: it won't let me do anything. Just black screen but it still plays the music.
    i would reset it (home button + sleep/wake button) and then it would be ok again. but if I just let it playing while its on freeze, after a few minutes it would stop playing and the freezing will continue.
    I have tried restoring it: erasing all contents on my iTouch but it won't do anything.
    This happens quite a lot of time now. It's actually worse now. I happened to bring it to the MAC store to let them define the problem. They said it probably has something to do with the "music" that I'm playing. Might corrupted or something. But of course I know what I'm playing and what I'm playing isn't corrupted. They would try to diagnose it though but it will take days for them to do it by restoring it and downloading other music and if, they said, the new downloaded songs won't make the iPod freeze, they would have to charge me even if my iPod is still on warranty.
    Is this a common problem? should i try to let them fix the problem or is there anything i can do myself to fix it?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    to make sure the problem is not the iPod software, restore your device "as new iPod" without using the backup to get your data back.
    If you can use your iPod without problems after that, the some data on the iPod was corrupted. Add your music step by step to make sure the music files are ok.

  • Why does my 3rd generation iPod touch freeze and crash randomly?

    My sister has a used 3rd Gen iPod touch. It looks fine, not much physical damage beyond normal wear. But it will continuly randomly freeze and crash. It will shut off and we have to turn it back on, only to have it crash again. The frequency of this varies and resetting it and restoring it to factory setting make no difference. Is there anything we could do to fix it?

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
