Thanks for the quick reply...so meaning i need to have registered my itunes wif a US address? but i want to buy those applications and those are in USD...so i cant use the gift cards to buy them?  cry.gif

Maybe you can try google around for some US address with the correct area code phone number,
and 1 more thing, some state in US do charge tax and some still don't (as far as I know).

By the way guys, I really need help at the moment.
Updated my firmware to the latest but then my iTunes stuck with this "Verifying iPod Software..."
and my iPod are showing the plug in to iTunes.

Quite troublesome without my iPod as I made it a part of my life. icon_question.gif icon_question.gif icon_question.gif


Added on February 3, 2009, 9:08 amThe loading bar in iPod would run only to 50% and it'll reboot and showed Connect to iTunes then in iTunes would pop out Verifying iPod Software...

This is so frustrating.

I'm stuck. I Google-ed for more than few hours yet I couldn't find the solution.

Somehow it popped out error 14.


Added on February 3, 2009, 9:42 amNow it popped out error 13.

Everything settled after a hard work of more than 10 hours!
I pretty learned my lesson and I wanna share it you guys and I hope it'll really help.

First if you wanna update to a newer firmware, always have the current or any firmware prepared in your computer
in case of any mishap, there's always an alternate of DFU to recover it back.

As some of it was the fault of iTunes, I used my friends laptop to restore it back.
Normal restore ain't working but DFU in his computer worked like a charm.
It was a really frustrating day but it relieved me a lot when I settled it.

Few hours of Googling and few hours of attempt really fruit out the work.
Now it took time to synchronize it back but nevertheless I'm glad that my iPod is working now.

Also do some research before update your iPod to the latest firmware, who knows the latest wouldn't be as stable as the current one?

Sigh, another problem arise.
After those DFU and hard reset stuff, I realize that my notes has been completely delete.
All my stuff I written it there gone just like that...

Guess this is what I paid to learn my lesson, sigh again.

Anyone know how to backup those file?

Pity you.  Just right click your ipod touch at itunes there and choose backup. it will backup all your settings and apps. After you restore the firmware, plug in the cable and sync your backup with itunes.

But as you can see, I even lost my internet bookmarks even after the backup restored.
Anyone clarify this please?

Is it my firmware or what?
Previously I've an option of Shuffle and Repeat(icon button) when I'm listening to the music,
but sadly after I DFU-ed my firmware back to 2.2 it seems that I've lost this option.

I checked the setting, but I doesn't seems to find it.
Anyone encountered same problem too?

before 2.2 there should be the shuffle n repeat buttons. if 2.2, u shud have shuffle, repeat Genius. and yes, genius doesnt work here, but u should have the button nonetheless.

i suggest (re)downloading the firmware

So the problem would be my firmware huh?
I wondered if I downloaded the wrong firmware though, but I'm not risking to update my iPod again.
I seriously hate the trouble, I might as well just wait for another update. Sigh...


Added on February 5, 2009, 10:54 pmOr can somebody please link me the firmware update of 2.2 for iPod Touch 2nd Gen?
I might download the wrong firmware though.

But before that, I've a question again.
Would my saved data of my games lost again after updating the firmware via DFU?

And ever since that incident, after I update my firmware back via DFU,
it seems that I lost some of my option but I couldn't clearly state it.

What's wrong with it! I don't wanna take another 10 hours wasting my time on the iPod again...
It's so time consuming for nothing! Aargh..

Don't expect people to spoon feed you when a wide range of information can be found by google.
If everyday got 10 ppl come asking the same question "what is jailbreak", then don't expect them to get what they want.
They'll have to do a simple research using google to understand it 1st. If there's more doubt that can't be answered in a FAQ then only ask.

Ya I've to agree with you, evilhomura89.
Forum is place when you have done your research through varities of information but can't find the solution
or further doubt that are not resolved then forumers will be more than please to clear your thoughts.
Don't be lazy to do research. As what people always said, there is always Uncle Google that will never resist you.
Those common question are always asked and do you expect us(people who know) to answer it daily?

Just a note to those using US iTunes Store account and do not know about this yet.

Certain states in U.S. charges tax for digital downloads (which includes your iTunes Store purchases). I didn't know about this earlier, and used a totally random address for my account, and now I've been charged for about $10 for tax sad.gif For users whose receipts has tax charges, or for users that will create an U.S. iTunes Store account in the future, please refer to this figure:
[attachmentid=796346]
Taken from CNET News

Change your billing address to states that are in red. This news was published 3 years ago though, so if some other states has adopted digital download sales tax, try another one lah tongue.gif

Now..gonna change mine sweat.gif


Added on February 9, 2009, 11:16 pmAnd now, I've just moved from Louisiana to Los Angeles, California! laugh.gif

Previously I've did some research and found out that California is going tax for digital download sales.
I'm not really sure about it anyway and it was half year back for your info.

I just clicked the Edit Payment Info and to my surprise, it's my current home address which I was really weird off.
It was suppose to be a NY address.

Oh ya for your guys info, every state tax differently too.
NY tax approximately 8.5% for digital download sales.
I got this figure by counting it myself though.

Thanks for the info! I looked it up and it seems to be all about the proposal only. Can't seem to find about the actual implementation. Will find another state this afternoon mellow.gif School later yawn.gif

LOL at your address sweat.gif

Oh and, Louisiana's tax is around 9.2%

Mind sharing it to me too. tongue.gif
It took me more than 5 hours Googling before I decided to purchase my first iTunes Gift Card.

I guess we should find the states with the least tax since States politician are proposing tax on digital downloads.
You can try searching in Wikipedia, and as far as I know(if it haven't change yet), Kansas didn't charge for digital downloads.


Added on February 10, 2009, 2:05 amhttp://news.cnet.com/2100-1028_3-6060749.html

Look what I've found? The state that tax digital downloads. Maybe not.
I've seen this date for several times, 17 or 14 or maybe 19 April, which denotes mostly after this date,
the US will tax every state for digital downloads, I think.

I'm not pretty sure about it but I can tell you I don't really like it.
