What is the timeframe for a ipod touch to complete  back up

i have had my ipod touch synced on for 24 hours so far it still is not finished,apparantly it needs to back up my data before it installs ios5,considering i have no music on my ipod, just apps at the moment this is taking to long

- That seems way too long. A backup should take less than 15 minutes unless yu have a lot of stuff one the iPod.  For your information, musiic and the apps themselves and some other stuff is not part of the backup, they are synced to the iPod from your library during a latter stage of the update.
- Did you get any errors? Does it ook like iTunes has frozen?
- I would close iTunes  andthen disconnect the iPod and then try again. The only problem you may have is that you may have to place the iPod in recovery mode to update and that would erase the iPod preventing making a backup.

    Cracked screens aren't cover by warranty sadly. That's why you need apple insurance to cover these devices. I've been through 4 iPhone 4's haha.

  • What is the process for locating ipod touch through find my ipod

    i need some help in locating a stolen Ipod touch I gave to my granddaughter for her birthday.  Can anyone tell me exactly what I need to do to see if I can locate through "find my ipod?"

    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords fro all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help

  • What is the highest ios an ipod touch 3rd gen can do up to?

    what is the highest ios an ipod touch 3rd gen can do up to?

    Like Ralph Landry1 said
    No one can predict the life span of a particular device, there are too many variables to consider.  Such as, how well it is treated, how it is charged, used in a case, exposure to heat and cold, and on and on.  If you treat it well, it should last for years.
    iPod Touch has a 1 year warrenty, but with the AppleCare Protection Plan, you can extend it to 2 years. Even out-of -warrenty, its still useful. And please follow through what Ralph Landry1 said.

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • HT201210 Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3?  iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

    Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3?  iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

    If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

    If you need a higher iOS, you will have to get a newer model iPod.

  • TS1398 what is the vpn for a ipod

    how do you know or what is the VPN for a ipod touch

    VPN stands for Virtual Private Network. Something which is more often used by companies and business to help protect their network and data from outside eyes and with some allow a means to securely connect to a network at another physical location remotely.  That's just a watered down description though.
    See here for more information on how to use them on your iOS device if interested.

  • Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

    Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
    My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
    Any ideas on which direction I should go?

    If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
    If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

  • The screen for my ipod touch 2nd ge has gone dim and i can barely see anything! what do i do?

    the screen on my 2nd gen ipod went dim very suddenly and i can't get it to go bright again! i went on the brightness settings but it doesnt seem to make a difference...

    Try the standard fixes to rule out a sftware problem:
    - Reset
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem than an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
