IPod Touch technical issue?

yorks808

Hello,
I have a 16GB IPod touch. When I use facebook via the internet on it, there always seems to be some connection issue with it and never loads. Has anyone else had this problem?

Also, how do I go about adding apps to the IPod touch?-can this be done? Thanks

Download the facebook app, you'll find that works better

You could try a 'Facebook' app from the App Store.

App Store should be on your touch to download straight or go via ITunes on your computer and sync across to your Touch via USB.

Not sure about the first issue, but apps can be added either through itunes or by using the app store icon to access the app store on the ipod touch (providing that the ipod is connected to a network with internet access)

Thanks, is is possible to install free apps (are there such things as these?)
When i connect the ipod to a laptop via the USB cable i dont seem t be able to do anything bar charge it

Yes there are thousands of free apps available
You will need to have iTunes on your laptop to do anything else with it other than just charge it

Thanks, but after looking via the safari for the apps store it doesnt seem to be loading.
How can I sync via USB?-theres no option for it when I plug the ipod to the lappy

How come I need to provide credit card details when creating an account on itunes apps store when trying to download my (free) facebook app? is there anyway i can bypass this?

**update 2304hrs: sorry I've managed to get through the reg stage now without having to provide credit card details***

I've always had to load up some card details. (I don't know if I got away with it if I had a store credit balance)

I use a pre-paid debit card for safety. Annoyingly it reserves/pre auth's £1.58 to test your card is correct/active. (you can access the £1.58 again after a week or so as it isn't requested by Apple.

You need a payment method for freebies and free app updates which is a pain!!!!!

Hiya (again),
I've downloaded the facebook app but cant find the applications tab on my 'ipod touch' area of itunes to be able to carry it over!
