not much just music, movies, podcasts, games, surfing web, e-mail
why would you buy something you don't what it's for?
Its free (Back to school promo) - and I want to learn about it, develop apps etc
For me I think it will be mainly web - hotmail etc. And possibly skype. And perhaps the kids for games and video on the move.

I bought a used iPod touch for my daughter and I do not have a code to reset it....neither does the seller. What can I do?

I'm using iPod touch for a year now. It was doing fine this morning but in the afternoon suddenly when I took it out of my bag, the screen was just black and it wouldn't turn on and stuff. So I thought it didn't have battery so I charged it didn't work. I plugged to the computer and it said iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before in can be used with iTunes.
Maybe my bag was little wet today but i don't think that is why.. since it wasn't that bed.. just some paper was wet and stuff..
What should I do..? Please help me.Connect to the Computer you Usually Sync with and Follow the Steps Here...

Using iPod touch for all my contacts
I have been using a Palm Pilot for all my contacts and notes. I want to use an iPod touch.
Question: Will I be able to dial my Nokia phone via bluetooth from my contact list, like my Palm will?
Hope you can help,
cant jibeWhy not just sync your contact data to your Nokia phone from the Mac? Most are supported by iSync which uses the same data source as the iPod touch. You can then dial direct from the phone, without having to use one device to dial a number on another.
Or get an iPhone and have both devices in one. -
We bought a used Ipod touch for my son. I was able to sync it to my iTunes. We are not able to download any apps. It says that we don't have the most current software. When I connect the Ipod to my PC an iTunes - I click on check for updates and it says that there are none. I've also tried going under Settings, General but there is no software updates located there. Any ideas?? Thanks!!
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 2.2 via iTunes and iOS 3.1.3 via
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
https://buy.itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZFinance.woa/wa/touchLegacyLandingPage
- A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10 or higher. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
- A 3G to 5.1.1 Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
- A 4G to 6.1.6 Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
Identifying iPod models
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists. -

my daughter has not used her ipod touch for 16 months and has forgotten her passcode. restore factory settings keeps failing due to a software update failure!
how can i get this ipod reset. She now has an iphone so this is going to be used by someone else in the family and should be simple to do but itunes just keeps booting it out even though it recognises that it was previously connected to our itunes account as all of the children were on my accountThat has nothing to do with an update server. Do the following:
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes -
I am thinking of purchasing used ipod touch 2nd gen, will i be able to load from my macbook? What do i need to know prior to purchasing used?
Your problem will be that AppleTV only has HDMI and optical output - no analogue out so unless say you had a B&W Zeppelin or similar that has optical in you'd need something esle to decode the audio to ananlogue.
Some have also reported AppleTV not working for audio when TV is off or in standby.
You may be better off having both!

How do I transfer my current iTunes Library for a 5th gen. Nano to a used iPod touch 2nd gen.?
I was given a used iPod touch 2nd. gen because my old faithful 5th generation nano was tragically washed. But I'm scared to just plug the new one into my computer to see what happens. I want to make sure I don't lose all of the music I have on my nano. Anyone know how to do this?
Not sure what you are atlaking about.
Lose what mui from what ipod.
Your music should be on your computer. Sync it to your ipod. -

I purchased a used iPod touch advertised as 2d generation. I later found that it is first generation. I can use the device for my limited purposes but only when connected to my desktop. For some reason that I can't figure out, I am unable to download "more episodes" for my podcasts or otherwise connect to the iStore when using my wifi connection. Can anyone provide a fix for this problem. Note that my technical skill level is about 3 on a scale of 10.

Does the iPod see the networks?

I'm lost with my new "used" iPod touch 4th gen. Just downloaded iOS 6; seems to be trying to access a WIFI signal but I have it hard wired into my MAC and I do not have WIFI. Need iPod for dummies - very basic and simple help.
On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.
