Hey I just picked up an iPod touch.  I downloaded a few free apps but dunno how to get them to show up on the iPod?  I downloaded them and then sync'd my iPod thinking that'd do it, but it didn't.  Is there something I'm missing?

I  mean aren't the icons supposed to show up as buttons on the home screen?

I'm a new iPod Touch user too - so I'm not sure whether this has anything to do with your problem... I downloaded the Stanza e-book reader and then synced the iPod, but did not see the app at first - then it occurred to me that maybe the icon for the app was just sitting off-screen, so on the home page I "flicked" the screen to the left, and sure enough that revealed the Stanza icon that had been sitting offscreen...

Yes I thought of that, and it didn't work  

I still have 2 spots at the bottom for more buttons before I'd have to flick to the next page.  Well assuming it fills one FULL page at a time with buttons for apps.

That's the thing, sometimes it doesn't, if not, reformat your ipod through itunes and start all over again.

In my case, I still had (and have) one empty icon space at the bottom of my home screen, but for whatever reason the Stanza icon did not show up there, rather it ended up off-screen...

Where do you go to check these settings?  I went to the "preferences" and I didn't see anything that looked like what I needed
