What's with the iPhone comparisons?
Ultimately it's just an iPod. It's core purpose is a media player, not a communications device, as it would become a threat to the iPhone. It can only have so many features before it becomes more than just an iPod.
Of course there are disappointments regardless, but it can't be judged as a "step down" from an iPhone like everyone is doing, but more of a "step up" from the 5G iPod video.
I'm not disappointed at all.
Apple climbed halfway up the mountain with the iPod touch, then turned around and went back down. And by that I mean, if you're going to have wifi, why not include mail? It's easy to compare them because they look so alike, and in essence, they are exactly alike in terms of technology and software. If Apple at least TRIED to make the iPod touch look different (less iPhone-esque), then maybe itd be another story. Maybe a touchscreen clickwheel? Instead, we get a copy of the iPhone, except we don't. That being said, A LOT is missing from the iPod when compared with the iPhone.
That's why it's dissapointing. They slapped this iPod together without any thought. The iPod touch was probably the easiest project the iPod team at Apple ever had to work on.

What do I do about message:- iTunes could not back up iPhone because a session could not be started with the iPhone.

I have recently updated my phone and am attempting to sync it. I got the error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone". I deleted the backup, restarted my computer, and even restored the iPhone, but continue to get the same error message. What do I need to do now?
iTunes places the iPhone backup in the following location. Navigate there & delete everything in the backup folder, but not the folder itself. You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it:
Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ -
I can't print using airprint from my iPhone 4. Everything with the phone and the printer and router are up to date. I can print from my iPad 2 with no problems. What's wrong with the iPhone 4?
I just wanted to leave a note that it's working now. I'm not sure if it was the latest iTunes update that got it working or that i decided to start a new library instead of using the one i had backed up on Windows 8 (it didn't occur to me to check using the old library when i re-installed iTunes). But if anyone is having this problem, it might be worth trying again with a new installation of iTunes to see if the latest update works for you, and if not, try using a fresh library instead of a backup (by fresh library i mean discard your old library completely and start a new library, not just restore as new iPhone, a whole new library).

What's up with the Iphone-5 that my wife and I just purchased? Neither one is now connecting to my WiFi Network. All other devices in my home network work fine, including my old Droidx. Did we just make a mistake by switching to the Iphone 5?
I never said the devices are used concurrently. I imagine that if they were there would be a limit. What is being pointed out is that devices of various types, such as PSs of various manufacturers, I-Pods, I-pads, laptops of various manufacturers, gaming devices, etc., when family comes to visit, have no issue logging in to my home Wi-Fi. While I love Apple devices, why is it that when I buy the best and the latest I have an issue. In the end it turns out that the solution is quite simple, "before connecting to the home network, update the router software". If this caution is there, I missed it and telling folks to re-initialize the router simply will not do it because, as was explained to me, the I-phone 5 is not compatible with "Security Encryption:WEN". I am not a computer wiz, therefore I cannot tell you if that statement is correct, but telling people to re-boot the router will not work in this instance.

Symptoms
In certain situations, iPhone may present one of the following symptoms:
"Invalid SIM" or "No SIM Card installed" alert appears intermittently.
Status bar displays "No Service", "No SIM" or "Searching" in a location with good network coverage.
Resolution
If you encounter any of the above symptoms on your iPhone, try these steps to attempt to resolve the issue:
Update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
Toggle Airplane mode On and Off.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
Check for a carrier settings update. Tap Settings > General > About. If an update is available, a prompt will appear.
Remove the SIM Card and verify that it is a valid, carrier-manufactured SIM. Also verify that it is not damaged, worn, or modified. Then reinsert it.
Restore the iPhone.

I'm looking for a digital picture frame that is compatible with the iPhone 5 and 4S. I was looking at the Panasonic MW-20 but from what I can see I don't think it is. Any information would be great. Looking to buy a replacement for Christmas. Thanks!
Hi - the new lightning connector on the iPhone 5 has an authentication chip so very few 3rd party manufacturers have come out with compatible devices - so I doubt that you will find a frame that works for both phones - however Apple has come out with 2 apapters - one is a cable and one is a direct 30 pin to lightning device - you would have to check out each frame to see if one of these might work - I looked at the Panasonic and it looks promising but I would check the return policy of anything that you buy in a case it doesn't work.

HELPPPPPPPP ME PLEASE!!!!!iTunes runs on your computer, not your phone. Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer. If you're using a Mac, and running OS X 10.5, you will need to upgrade OS X first.

I get the message itunes could not restore the iphone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iphone that is being restored when I try to restore my phones backup what do i do I downloaded itunes to my computer (pc) and it wiped out my phone and now it won't restore the backup
Had the exact same problem whilst upgrading my iphone 4 to ios5. Lost all my data.
Backed up ios 4.3 (8F190) iphone4. Upgraded to ios 5.1 (9B176), and then tried to restore.
No joy, repeated the restore attempts countless times - lost all my data
Tried again with a simulated test.
Created a new itunes account on a new PC (64-bit windows 7), latest itunes(10.6.1.7- 64 bit).
As my data is toast, I'm using the ios 5.1 phone to try to see if it was me or an apple bug, or something elsewhich caused this to happen.
After quite a few more hours at it, it looks like a bug in iTunes / ios. I would be very happy to be wrong, though.
Tried repeatedly restoring an ios 4.3 backup to 5.1 - no joy.
Happy to try again - it does restore partially (got the call register transferred, but no SMS'es or anything else).
Any ideas? -
Does anyone know what's up with the iPhone 4s' battery life? Some days it last a long time and other days it drains extremely fast.
Not to point out the obvious, but battery life depends very much on what is running and how much the device is being used.
If the battery lasts longer on a day you make no phone calls, but lasts less the day you make 5 hour long calls, this is to be expected.
If however the iPhone has the same level of use on both days, with different power consumption, this would infer a background process (or App) is trying to do something (connecting to server or creating a back up etc).
I switched off all thrid party apps from being included in my iCloud backup, which saves a huge amount of space on the cloud and allows the back up to take barely a couple of minutes.
Battery life seems ok so far on my 64GB 4S (Bluetooth on, Wi-Fi on, Location Services on, Push notifications on, Screen set to just under half brightness with Auto Adjust on)
