When I go to save a photo off a website using safari to browse on my ipod touch the photo shows up on the main list of my photo albums but when I click on the saved photos album it says "No Photos - you can take photos using the camera." It never did this before. I dont really know if 3.0 was worth it.

ever since going to 3.0, I have been having so many problems downloading app updates on my ipod touch. I keep getting the message that I entered my iTunes password wrong and to enter it again. But i'm typing it correctly. When I sync to itunes, and try again, it works. But leave the wireless network and come back, the error happens again.

I have the same problem.

Not sure if this is only for the 3GS but my app icons get messed up once in a while. Like the app for remote will change to the icon for pandora, and vice versa. Some just get greyed out. One icon morphed into parts of two other icons.

The only solution I've found is to delete the app, hard restart the phone, then re-install. A real pain in the a$s.

I can confirm I'm having the same problems (and yours is the first solution I've seen for it). I'm on a 3GS as well.

vtmikevt,

I'm sorry I missed your solution the first time I read your post. It has been temporarily made the resolution for that problem.

Hello-
I don't see my Spotlight issue listed. I just downloaded 3.0 and tried Spotlight. When I enter a word or name, all "hits" are not being listed. It seems that only the most current ones are appearing. My settings are to include everything. Does anyone know, please, why I am not getting everything? I called Aplle Care but they couldn't help. This is the main reason I upgraded.
And, for Notes to Sync on a Mac, one needs 10.5.1 which I didn't know. i have Tiger, not Leopard. I am very unhappy about this.
Thank you for any help.
Amy

QUESTION:

Where do synced notes go on a Mac?

They go to the Mail progam on the Mac. However, you have to have 10.5. something- Leopard. This should have been advertised.

Thank You for the information.

Important:

It seems as though Push Notification is now fully live on Apple Servers.

For a list of applications from the App Store that support Push Notifications, please visit the Mac Rumors section of the forums.

P.S.- There have been many users reporting that AIM Free/ Paid is not sending Push Notifications all the time or correctly. AIM is aware of this issue and should be working on a fix for this issue.

Please Help

The new OS kills my Skype app functionality.

Anybody know a workaround?

There's a one-time-only screen message: "OS 3.0 does not support Skype."

No kidding. It disables it.

I have added your issue to the bug list.

biggest hassle with OS v3.0 is fault in Safari!

Safari all of a sudden doesn't distinguish between different media files!! if you try play/download an MP3 it tries to play/download it as a movie!! and then it hangs...this to me is a biggy, then I see that Google maps hasn't got street view...although that may be cos I'm in South Africa and its not supported, not sure??

A message to all users having problems with 3.0:

I had to restore my iPod touch today becuase of an issue no due to 3.0. After restoring my device to 3.0, I have noticed that it is running muh faster and has many less bugs. You should at least think about restoring your device to fix some issues

I have added a few problems of my own to the original post.

However....

I tried restoring the touch and then loading the back up - this just seems to bring back whatever files are corrupted so you are back to problems.

The only restore I found to work is where basically go back to factory settings and then set up the touch as if it were new. Dont use your backed up files.

this of course is a real pain as I had stuff on my touch from a previous computer which of course is now gone!

Nasty lag after I upgraded to 3.0

Here's a video of what it was like pressing the next/previous track buttons on my 2G iPod Touch after upgrading to 3.0:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbej0AHgTx4

It was just unusable and I've ended up having to revert back to 2.2.1.
On the upside, they've refunded the money I paid for 3.0.

I hope the issues are fixed soon.

Poll needs another option:

I have not upgraded to 3.0 because I am waiting for the bugs to be worked out

I may revert back. The assets-to-liabilities ratio is worse that I expected.

How did you get your money refunded?

He probably contacted Apple and asked for a refund

36. PLEASE NOTE: When plugging your device into a dock, the volume controls will disappear. This is NOT a bug! Your docking station now controls your devices volume. Once unplugged, the volume controls should fade back in. Once again, this is not a bug!

Volume Controls doesn't fade in again ! They stay disappeared ! Only a Restart brings them back.

8. "Every time I wake the iPod from sleep, I have to reconnect manually to my Wi-Fi network even though "Ask to join networks" is on and it is one of my preferred networks where as in 2.2.1 it would always join on its own." (habsfan321):
RESOLUTION- Tap "Settings". Go to "General". Select "Reset". Select "Reset Network Settings". Once restarted, type network settings in and it should now work without problems.

That`s just how it started, getting worse and worse. First it was like written above. Meanwhile I lost my whole WiFi functionality, said my touch can't connect to my wlan anymore. my wlan is unchanged since. every other device uses it. just the touch can't connect and doesn't tell my why. The reset of the network as described above is made twice but doesn't change anything. I already restored my touch in itunes with the last backup. The same - Can't connect. The WiFi is there, he recognizes my wlan, but can not connect and doesn't even asks me for the password - the next site with all the ip adress and so just stays empty.....
(Router is Dlink-524 if important)

Mail problem from 3.0

I updated my ipod touch 1g with the 3.0 software. Now whenever I go to my mail it is on for a few seconds but then goes back to the home screen??

I tried rebooting but that didn't help.

Please let me know if there is something that is can do.

Thanks

Wi-Fi has certainly been an issue. Can you try to restore your iPod as a new device. This should help

I added on to #36 with your problem

Try to restore your device in iTunes using the restore as new device section

Has anyone else noticed that the auto-brightness feature is much more 'responisive' , it seems to change the brightness much more freqently ? I think this is a positive point, but meaby this is one of the factors that causes shorter battery life ?
