    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • How do i get around a forgotten passcode on an itouch gen. 5?

    Okay guys I've made a stupid mistake and put an overly complicated passcode on my Itouch 5th Generation. I don't remember what it was and when I try to restore it, it just puts it back to the same passcode. I don't know what to do, so please help me.

    Passcode for what?
    If for Restrictions y have to restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If screen-lock passcode
    Forgotten Screen-Lock Passcode
    Connect the iOS device to your computer and try to make a backup
    iOS: How to back up
    Then restore via iTunes. The iOS device will be erased. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: How to back up    
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store    
    If you already did that, are you sure it went through all the restores steps? Restoring from backup does NOT restore a screen-lock passcode but does restore a Restrictions passcode

  • How do I get downloaded games from itunes to my ipod touch?

    I downloaded a few games for a trip I'm going on. I've looked through the manual, and I have tried, but I don't know how to get the games on my ipod touch?

    They need to be downloaded from the App Store, and the iPod touch needs to be running version 2 or higher of the firmware.

  • How do you get the speck gemshell case off an ipod touch 5th generation

    I am trying to get the speck gemshell case that I purchased along with the "new" ipod touch 5th generation. It seems like a solid piece of clear see-through piece of plastic and it will withstand lots of drops with the added "lips"on the front of the ipod touch (one reason why i got this case. The other reason was to have my red ipod seen by all who wish to look at it.) but my problem with it is that it seems "too solid". The case is hard to put on and REALLY hard to take off. I have read on some websites that you can take a credit card as a way of taking the case off but I want to figure out how to take it off without ruining my ipod or bending the case?

    Contact the manufacturer
