mine leaks 3/4" worth of light near the volume buttons and has the video ticking. im a few days past the 30 day limit to return it to best buy. are these problems normal or should i go to the apple store and chance my luck at getting a unit better/worse than the one i have?

Anyone turned off multitasking on a 3Gs? Any noticeable performance increase? My friend swears by it on a 16Gig 3Gs

Yeah, I only just noticed it a few days ago when I was using it in a dark room. In normal lighting it's not really a problem, but it is sorta annoying. Although if I've had it for about a month and a half and only just noticed the problem now, I wonder if it's worth making a big fuss over. The bigger concern for me is the build quality and physical stability of the thing than the light leakage itself.
But my light leakage is in the same place, near the volume button. There's also a bit around the edge of the bezel on the other side.
EDIT: Don't have the clicking sound when recording video, though.

Anyone having problems buying songs off iTunes right now?
Just keep getting a connection timed out error.
Just keep getting a connection timed out error.
I was wondering if someone could answer a couple of questions. I was thinking of getting a 4g 32gig touch. I really don't want to use itunes. Can you buy apps directly off the touch and download them over wireless to itself? What I would really like to do is use Foobar to transfer music to it, then just buy apps and download directly to it. This will get me away from Itunes. Is this possible? Also say you buy an app and then later delete it off your touch, do you have to re-purchase it or can you sign back in and re-download it since you already bought it?
Yeah you can buy apps directly. Apps can be redownloaded for free but you'll have to remember which ones you bought because you won't be able to tell if it has been purchased before when you go to redownload. It only notifies you, conveniently, after you've pushed "Buy".nodle said:
Is there a difference or recommendation between the www. And non-www. Version of the secondapps.com/neogaf webapp? They seem to be separate on my iPhone - if I login to one, it doesn't login to the other, for example. I understand that www. Is simply a prefix, and just wanted to clarify more about it.

Ever since upgrading my jail broken 4.1 Iphone 4 to non-jailbreak 4.2 my 3G has been laggy and or timing out. Im on the Rogers network, anyone else experiencing this issue?
To make it clear, im on apple's 4.2 firmware on my iphone 4 and my 3g connection is laggy. Its not responsive, some sites take upto 30 seconds to kick in and start loading, sometimes it will time out for good.
Anyone else having these issues on Rogers?
BTW i tried the reset network settings. Didn't work.
I also tried a complete restore and reinstalled 4.2 - didnt work.
What else can I try? This is so irritating.
EDIT: Called rogers, they reset my server side network settings. Problem seems to have gone away.

If you guys want to coordinate with the iPad people, there could probably be a combined thread when the next hardware refresh is announced or when either thread hits the 20,000 post mark.
While I have no preference on the iPod/iPad versus unified iOS thread issue, I'd absolutely like to see official threads whose OPs are not by banned users (and a note to other users, if you ever expect to ask to be banned, don't start an OT and screw over everyone else when the OP is abandoned), so that updated information will get put in the right place.

Ok, here's a weird question: How can I differentiate between an iTouch 2nd and 3rd generation? My knowledge in models and capacities are only limited to the iPhone.
I bought my sister an iPod Touch 3G last year, a few months ago it stopped working for some reason so she took it to an apple store since it was still under warranty. They said it had to replaced and gave her a brand new device.
She asked me today to jailbreak it, and so as I was inspecting it, I double clicked the home button expecting to use the multitasking tray, but... nothing happened, even though it's running 4.2.1. The lack of multitasking is a pretty damning proof that it's a 2G, right?
I need an answer, asap please.
Edit: The capacity it 8gigs fwiw. I remember how big was the storage of the 3G I bought.

I've got two broken iPhones that I need to sell, but I want to clear the data from them, while keeping the jailbreak intact if I can.
The first phone is a 3G. The screen went out on me last night and it also has a broken silent switch, and sometimes after being in my pocket for a while it will tell me that there's no sim card in the phone (don't know if this is a hardware or software issue).
The second phone is a 3GS. This one's having worse problems. It was in my pocket and I bumped up against a table (not very hard). The phone was fine when I pulled it out of my pocket, but when I plugged it in at the end of the night, it wouldn't charge. It said it was plugged in and charging, but the percentage would never go up. So when I plug this phone into the computer iTunes won't recognize it because it's completely dead.
Any ideas on how to clear the data?

Is there an option or app to see when I took photos on the iPhone?
I know that you can see it on the Mac in iPhoto, but why not on the iPhone itself?

I need a good case for my iPod touch, mostly cause its so thin, it hurts to hold during some long gaming sessions, haha.
Ideally I would like one with an extra battery in it as well, for extended life. Any suggestions?

is it worth it to get a case for my ipod touch 4th gen? I never had one on my 2nd gen, and it lasted fine for 2 years before the screen cracked due to my clumsiness.

I've been using Now Playing for like 2 years, but today I finally paid the 2 bucks for PhoneFlicks. It's basically the exact same app as Now Playing, just with no ads and missing all of the broken features from Now Playing.
Right now none of my queues will update except my disc queue.
Is this just some random problem with Netflix's servers right now or what?
EDIT: Talked to the dev. It's a problem with the Netflix API. App is the best. Get it.

Does anyone have any idea about iPod touch glitching out slightly on the notifications and the icons in the top bar? Like digital noise that goes away after wiggling around a little. Kinda freaks me out that this thing is already dying after a few months.

- Jailbreak your phone and download manually (ask how in the Jailbreak thread)
When I go to Music and pick a song and play it, the screen changes to the typical music screen (with volume, fastforward/rewind) but it only stays there for a second before going back into the menu. Basically I can't listen to music on my iPod. Has anyone ever had the same problem and how do I fix it?

...hate me...
So the music app is crashing all the time. Yeah, I've been there. Actually, it wasn't just the music app, there was a time when I had my iPod touch 2G that most apps were crashing like crazy motherfuckers, but eventually that problem went away by itself.Yenrot said:

Quick question...
My wife just got a new iPod touch and wants to create her own Apple ID and play all of the music on our iTunes account.
Here's the issue...we have simply been sharing my Apple ID for the past several years so everything has been purchased under my account. Is there any way for her to have her own Apple ID but still play the music previously purchased from my Apple ID? If that makes any sense. We only have one laptop...so all content is on one computer.
