Why can't I iMessage my sons iPod touch

This is the problem - husband, oldest son and I all have iPhone 4S - youngest son has iPod touch 5.... We set youngest up with iMessage on the touch. Husband & oldest son can reply to younger son, however when I try to reply to him I just get a message that says " user is not available by iMessage at this time" he has no problems I messaging me, I just can't reply or send him a message in return - help please

Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode
iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

Yes they can, you are correct. I should have maybe said that in my post. I was merely trying to say that I believe they want to keep the iPhone more organized. I got out of dragging and dropping to my iPod after I created my first playlist. Makes things a lot eaiser just to sync a list.

So if i dont got service on my iphone 4s but i i got wifi can i use imessage like on ipod touch.?

Can i use imessage on my iphone without o service but having wifi like on ipod touch

You have to leave the SIM card in but yes, it will work fine as an iPod and using wifi.

by the way thanks

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why can't I update my 3G iPod touch to iOS 5?

I have the verison 10.5 of iTunes and I connect my 3rd Gen iPod touch, I click Check for Update but it says "4.2.1 is the current verison" I don't know what to do.

You probably have a 2G iPod and those can only go to 4.2.1. If 8 or 16 GB it is a 2G. A 32 GB can be either . To identify yours:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage

Why can't i turn on my iPod touch 16 GB 4th generation?

Hi, i've had my iPod for 6 months now and it's been working fine but then today Nov 11th, i was just done updating a game and i went back on the apps store and i felt a electric shock and my iPod sloowly turned white. I reset it by pressing the home button and he power button at the same time and then it went black. The iPod was really hot, so i left it untouched so it could cool down. Now that it's cool down, it WILL NOT turn back on!!! I am upset and i've tried everything including connecting it to the computer and charging it. I know my battery was Full before it blacked out on me, so what is the problem and how can i fix it?

The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcude synced media like apps and music. Those items should be in your iTunes library.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
