Its probaly because they have to store all your information and secure your password and personal info otherwise it could get hacked, it could take minutes, hours, days, depending what sort your iPod is....if ur still unsure, go to comet or wherever you got it and ask them, if I doesn't work after 3 hrs, contact this number: 01582 75383 529, if this number doesn't work, find them on Facebook at apple services, it could charge you depending on the situation, hope I helped n if ur really lost nd confused then ask the net because I'm lost after, lol x
You do not pay to update your iPod Touch unless the software update is to 3.0 or 3.1.
settings
To get the iPod Touch 3.0 software, go to iTunes and search for the software, and you can buy the software for $9.99.
you update it through itunes
No unless you Jailbreak it and there are stuff like the 4th software update
Updating the iPod Touch software erases the jailbreak. You can update, but it will erase your jailbreak.
depends are you on latest software?
The 3.1 software is an update to the 3.0 software for the iPod Touch. The 3.1 software mostly adds the ability to have Genius look for good songs for you directly from your iPod Touch.
Go to software update after plugging in itouch and tapping it's name. Then do software update. Most updates don't delete anything.
First, you need to go onto iTunes, buy, and then wait for it to download the software (the 3.0 software for the iPod touch is $9.99). Then, plug in your iPod Touch, and then just update the software via iTunes.
When you Update software on an iPod touch, you get more features (Folders for apps, wireless printing etc.)
The software was originally intended for the iPhone, but a similar software for the iPod Touch was made, too, and since all of the time and effort put into making that software was too great for a free update, you have to pay for it.
