What..... Ok so we charge it she can't wait to download her little grs and play and nope it won't let me download any apps or games so I tried to sync it with her brothers and no it won't so I google it to find out how to reset to factory settings looked so easy should have known I go to settings then general and yep no reset option so I try the iTunes thing with the laptop nope didn't work I am ready to try the hammer you know where you continually beat the darn thing till you feel better ugh please any suggestions would be so appreciated
You should be able to force it into recovery mode and restore it. Provided, that is, that it's not also activation locked. If there's an iCloud account set up on it with Find my iPod enabled, you're pretty much hosed.
You may want to try contacting Amazon to see if you can return it. Was it actually sold by Amazon, or by a 3rd party? Amazon is getting to be as bad as eBay any more with all the 3rd party sellers.
Amazon is NOT an authorized source for any Apple products. What you got was, as you have already figured out, a demo model. It was probably either liquidated along with the rest of the inventory from a brick and mortar retailer that went bust or possibly even stolen.

Hi,
I need to change the country for my Apple store account but this message appears "You have a store credit balance; you must spend your balance before you can change stores." but my credit is 1.58$ only and I couldn't buy any app with this amount! Any way how to fix that and I don't have a problem if I lose this 1.58 $?If you can't spend it then you can try contacting iTunes support and ask if they can remove the balance from your account : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.
Call 1-800-275-2273...ask to talk to "Customer Relations"...no one else.
Good luck. -
my ipad will not download any apps and if I press some apps I already have I just get a blank screen
Try and closing the app (app store in this case) and switch it back on and then download. If it still doesn't work, then give the IPad a rest and try again later.

Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
Why can I not download any apps to my Itouch Gen 2?
SO, I just purchased 2 4th gen ITouch’s and a 2nd gen Ipad for my kids. All is well and fine however my second gen device is toast so I am using one of my kids older 2 gen ITouch. My kids had been complaining that they could not download anything on the 2nd gen devices but I figured they were doing something wrong, my bad. The device has Netflix that works just fine but I am finding that if I were to delete the app and did not have it backed up I would not be able to get it back from the appstore. The device has been taken care of and is in good working order, but I am finding that Apple has chosen to no longer support IOS4.2.1 which I get. However I would expect that at a minimum I would be able to download any app that was available for the 4.2.1 os at the time the next version was released.
Drive space it cheap and ****** off customers are expensive.
Apparently Apple has planned obsolescence built into their business plan which I am finding pretty hard to swallow.
I just purchased over a grand worth of new devices and I am wondering if that was wise since apparently apple will deem them obsolete in a couple of years. That great because the newer devises are great, however I have a devise that there is nothing wrong with and apple has made the choice to no longer support the devise and not allow applicable software downloads making the devise basically useless. This is not supporting your customers!
I would hope that Apple changes their posture on this planned Obsolescence and backs its products durability with the ability to get applicable apps for the actual lifetime of the devise and not some 2 year window.
I brought my concerns to the nearest apple store where they gave me some song and dance about how the older devise was not fast enough. This is probably true for the newer apps but I think if this was a limitation then ITunes should make the newest version of the app at the time of the app is available for the devise.
Like I said drive space is cheap and this is like a row in some database.
I am wondering if I will continue to buy apple products.If it really is only your email, that is not valid, reset your primary email address at https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
If that does not work, because of a forgotten password or security questions, or because your account has been disabled for security purposes, you need to give Apple Support a call - only they will be able to help you. See this webpage on how to contact Apple Support in your country: There are either telephone numbers given or an email form:
Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security
Explain, that you need help with an account security problem.

The apps download just fine on my iphone 4's and my ipad, but iTunes WILL NOT download ANY APP. I have tried completely uninstalling itunes and then redownloading it and trying again, I have deleted the apps from my devices and then tried, I have tried syncing with devices connected by wire and then also tried wireless sync over icloud.
NOTHING IS WORKING, it tries to downlaod the apps (all apps makes no difference paid or free, or which app it is). The status bar gets all the way to the ned and then it starts over again, doing this repeatedly, and then after the multiple times it will show an error message saying it cannot downlaod.
I have 20Mbps speed internet, my wife's itunes has no difficulties.

(Using most recent iTunes x64 for Windows 7 machine)
FYI Also MY QUICKTIME WILL NOT DOWNLAOD AT ALL

Why I can not Download Any Apps by Itunes11.3 on my MacBook Pro?
At first I wanna give you a thanks for All you guys.....
I'm facing a great trouble now-a-days. I can not Download Any Apps by Itunes11.3 on my MacBook Pro. But I can do ti by 10.1 or before version. When I see such this problem, I thought if I update my OsX, my problem gonna be all right. But nothing gonna fine. till I'm facing same problem. I download Itunes again and again but nothing gonna change. Now please say me, what can I do???The Apple Support Communities are an international user to user technical support forum. As a man from Mexico my first language is Spanish. I do not speak English, however I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
Are you running any anti-viral software or a firewall? Little Snitch? -
I am confused and not very techy!! My daughter has a 16gb ipad I have paid for extra storage on the cloud so she can have movies on it but since I have done this the ipad is saying shes only got 1gb left even tho it says she's used 12.0 although she hasnt any apps downloafed please help!
Hi! On her iPad, go to Settings > General > Usage and that will show you what apps (I'm suspecting it could be Photos and Camera.) are taking most of the space on it. The extra iCloud storage will not increase local storage on the iPad itself.

Hi. I somehow managed to delete the app store tab on my iphone homepage. Anyone know how I can get that back? I just got this and now I can't download any apps! Thanks!
You cannot delete that icon. More than likely it's just been moved to another page. You can use Spotlight to search for it if necessary.

Why can't I watch news video on ipad2? Says I need adobe and that is not supported on this device
I subscribe to several news feeds and cannot watch the videos they post (fb). On the site I am tol I need adobe but my device does not support it. Why doesn't it and what can I do?
Actually it is not Adobe refusing to build an ios version of Flash, it is Apple who has refused to work closely with Adobe to allow them to create a very efficient version.
In Steve Job's own words he says "WE do not allow Flash on IOS..."
Blackberry, who has been working with Adobe, and allowing them access to the resources they need in order to create a very efficient Flash player has done so with incredible success. Even the Register points out how insanely well the Flash player and Air enviroment runs on the playbook, and during their tests found zero effect on battery compared to using any other software on the device, which gets about 13 hours in battery life.
Google, has also allowed Adobe access to the resources required to make an efficient player and have done so with incredible success, Android 3.1 and Flash 10.3 incorporated Hardware acceleration, the ability for flash to perform operations on the gpu, requiring far less energy. Many reports coming out have found the same situaton as they did with the blackberry, meaning Flash, when allowed access to the proper resources can be less resource intensive and less of a battery drain than any other software on the device.
Windows, has been working with adobe and allowing them access to these resources for years, and you can see the difference in performance on a windows machine vs a mac.
If Apple does not want to work with Adobe to allow the Flash runtime to perform up to its potential on their devices then that is fine. But understand it is Apple that is crippling the flash runtime and causing it to perform task in ways it is not designed to, and thus requiring more resources, and battery.
Last year, when Steve Jobs released his open letter, I was up in the air about it. But now after seeing company after company manage to get the Flash runtime working and being super efficicient, I have no choice but to think that the only company having issues with it (Apple) must be doing so via thier own choice, and not due to the fault of adobe, or the efficiency of the platform. -
I purchased a free app from App Store for my iPhone 5s, iOS version 7.1.2. It will not download; just gives me the little cloud with arrow pointing down. What do I need to do to get the app to load?
Hello mjhardy,
After reading your post, it sounds like you are experiencing an error while downloading apps. You may want to consider restarting the device first, and then resetting if that does not work. This article provides detailed instructions for Restarting, and Reseting:
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
How to restart
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button on the top of your device until the red slider appears. Then drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo.
How to reset
You should reset your device as a last resort and only if you can't restart it.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities,

I went to the apple store and they hooked up my ipad to a mac and it showed that it was charging and that apps would download. My ipones, touches, and ipods are not having any problems, just this ipad. It seems to be since I updated to the new ios. You can't even do a restore on it because it doesn't recognize it. It shows up top that it's doing that but nothing happens on the ipad. The computer seems to recognize the ipad, itunes recognizes it. It acts like it is communicating with it but it doesn't download anything and won't charge when it's hooked up to the USB port. THe Apple store says there is nothing wrong with this ipad which is about 6 mths old. So what now?
Most USB port do not supply enough current to charge the iPad.
