    • I try to open any downloaded app on my iTouch but only get 2-3 seconds of its first screen before being sent back to the main menu.  What's up with this problem?

    • My son received an iTouch for Christmas and after successfully downloading some apps via a wireless link, he was able to use them for a few days. Now, everytime he opens an app, it opens for 2-3 seconds, then reverts back to the main page. I have read on several websites that this seems to be a very common problem with no definitive solution. We have tried several solutions that were offered with no success. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Connect the iPod to your computer, open iTunes, check the 'Applications' tab in your iPod's info and make sure it is set to install apps.

Hi,   The easiest way to download to your iTouch is directly to your iTouch via the Apple Store. The Apple Store icon is already on your iTouch. Just make sure you are near an internet connection via Airport or Wi Fi. Click on "Download" on the selected app, and then wait a couple of seconds. Your iTouch will indicate when the download is done and the app is installed. You will see the new icon on your your screen page.
  If you install from your computer, you will have to plug your iTouch into the computer and use the  iTunes app to control what you download. 
  I hope that helps.   Shari Dyer
