Hmmm, I'm experiening a really weird thing with my Miranda (that's my iPod Touch's name teehee). There's nothing happening when i connect it o my computer! Tested my usb port, it works fine with my thumdrive. Tested the usb cable, Miranda worked perfectly with my usb charger, so must be no problem with Miranda's USB port or the usb cable itself. So wut went wrong? Hmmm, so mysterious!

What do you mean? iTunes doesn't open when you connect your iPod or iTunes doesn't detect your iPod?

If iTunes doesn't open, press Ctrl+Alt+Del and check whether AppleMobileDeviceService.exe and iTunesHelper.exe is running, if not that is the reason behind it.

If iTunes doesn't detect your iPod then it might be hardware problem.

Just a general troubleshoot, do post back with more details.

Hmmm, i'm currently using a Mac so i wont be able to do your ctrl-alt-del thingy. What I meant is that when I connect the iPod to my Mac nothing happened at all. Like, nothing. It just stayed the same way it is, no charging, iTunes didn't detect etc. But I don't think that it is a hardware prob cuz when I connected it to my charger it charges right up... Hmmm, cud it be the jailbreak that's doing this? My ipod is currently running iPod 3.0 jailbroken.

Check if you have done anything to disable the iTunesHelper process before this. IIANM, that process is required to enable iPod/iPhone detection and autostarting the aapropriate app which is iTunes.

I think so. Not entirely sure, my last jailbreak was when my iPod was on 1.1.4

Since App Store came out I had no reason to jailbreak.

Good luck finding your solution. If iTunes is open and still doesn't detect your iPod I have absolutely no idea of how to help you.

You tried hitting the home button? My iPod gives me the same problem; just bring it out of sleep mode and it'll be fine.

Thank you all for the suggestions, I'll try them later when I get back.

hi guys...
i just bought myself an iPod Touch 2Gen 8GB from machines (Sunway Pyramid)..

my question is..
because it's just 2 days old, and I couldnt utilized the iPod to d maximum level because lack of funding, is it wise for me 2 jailbreak it?..

and how in the world can i download the free apps from iTunes without reviewing my Apple Account? (coz they need my credit card details etc2..)

I'll be watching this closely, because you seems to be implying that jailbreaking it means you can get apps for free. There are free apps on Cydia repos, but jailbreaking should not be linked to how the PSP is modded to play pirated games, they are not. Legal jailbreakers use jailbreaking to tap into the system to change the outlook of the iPod Touch or to add functionalities, NOT to installed cracked apps.

You can download free apps on the iTunes AppStore by clicking "Buy" on the free app, and if you have not registered an account, go through the registering process. When the process ask for payment method, since it is free, you will have the option of not inserting any credit card details to create your new account. Process complete, you have your free app on iTunes AppStore.

im quite confused here..

i already registered (i guess) with apple and have my apple ID..but when i click on "get apps" in iTunes, they asked me to review my account...
something like this..



any solution?

Since you have created an account already, why dont you put in the credit card details? Make sure all the details are exactly as per the details you put in during your credit card application.

Otherwise, use this link:-

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534

to create another account, and use that account to get free apps from AppStore. It does not matter which region you choose to create this account, but it is advisable to do it in the American iTunes AppStore, because the free contents are much more extensive. However, if you do choose to purchase apps from the American AppStore, you need American iTunes Gift Card. The Malaysian iTunes AppStore will take any Malaysian-based credit cards, so that may be easier for those here.

I myself have only one, the American iTunes account. More relevant content for me, and I have my own way of purchasing credit for the American iTunes content.

alrite...got it...
thx bro~

The activation of your iTunes account should be instantaneous. You should be able to make use of the account privileges already.

stringfellow, u said u hv ur own way of getting credit for ur a/c...Mind to share? XD

I have a US a/c bt no money edi! Still a student so CC is nt an option.

Thx~

1. Family in States, buy iTunes credit, send code to me via email or IM
2. Friends here with a US-based CC, they purchase iTunes gift card, they send code to me via email, PM, SMS or IM
3. Reputable iTunes gift Card sellers on eBay. Make sure the price to pay is NEVER less than 70% of the card value, else it is suspect, and the code may be generated.

There used to be a few reputable online gift card websites that sells you the codes after you pay them, but they too have their card code inventories contaminated with fake, generated card codes sold to them by these cracker idiots. They had to shut down, do reparative damage control before anyone would trust them anymore.

Waaa...steps 1 n 2 so nice...mind if i bank in to u cash then u send me the code?

Nope..I leave it from my class end till now yet still I didn't get any reply...
shud I make another or request again using d same email?

If it is up to me, then no problems. It is that it is up to THEM to decide if they wanna do it. I have someone over in this forum who may be able to help you, but I don't wanna look like I'm selling his name around for this. He may not like it that way.

Hang on a minute, what is this again? What reply are you waiting? The activation of your iTunes account is instantaneous, there is no wait.

im waiting for the activation code..they said it ll be send thru email...
until now (after i asked for resend) i didnt have d activation instruction...sigh..
