I got an Ipod touchfrom a friend and when I connect it to my computer it does not open anything or acess the itune store. Where can I dowwnload new apps for it.
You should install iTunes.
Go and get it on the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
If you have WiFi you can download apps directly from the iPod touch - go to the App Store application.

I have set up an id, however everytime I click to update apps it comes up with my friends old id. How do I change this so I can update my apps?
Apps will always be tied to the account from which they were purchased, and will always have to be updated using that account.
It sounds like the apps were purchased by your friend. You will need to buy your own apps. -

Hi,
I've got an iPod touch from USA. One of my cousins has got them for me. It worked fine for couple of months but now suddenly it stopped switching on. I am not sure if it has International warranty or not. What are my options now?
Thanks and regards,
Pradeep DAs I responded in your other thread:
iOS devices' warranties are valid only in the country of purchase. Any repair or replacement under the warranty would require that you ship the device back to your cousin in the US. -
I recently bought an iPod Touch from the US, when I was living there. I am now in India, and my iPod seems to be frozen -- the slider won't slide. So far, I've updated my iTunes and reset and restored the Touch. The problem with the simple solution: there's no Genius bar in India.
Any idea what I can do?Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My itunes account was set up under an email account that has been deleted. I started a new i tunes account but have the same device as with the old account. How do i keep my music thats on my ipod touch from being deleted whin i sync it to itunes after purchasing new music?
I have the same problem (deleted email account). I think I mistakenly set up an account when I was buying an Apple product online, not realizing that it would be the same ID as my iTunes.
What is the way to actually contact Apple?
I have been clicking around in circles for hours! Will I have to pay them to resolve this? I don't have any products still have applecare . . . -
I just bought a new Ipod ios from a friend and she didn't reset it before she gave it to me and when I try to connect it to my laptop it keeps saying "Ipod is disable, connect to itunes"and it says to put in the correct passcode but I don't know what the passcode is and now I can't get ahold of my friend that sold it to me. So my question is: How do I reset the passcode and the Ipod touch so that I can sync it to my laptop and so that I can enjoy my new Ipod Touch?
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

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.

My iPod touch with iOs 5 does not have the iTunes store app on it. How can I get it?
I have recently upgraded my touch 4g to iOs 5, and I love the new iOs. There is only one problem, the native iTunes app does NOT EXIST. I have no problem connecting to the itunes store on my pc itunes program, but my ipod touch DOES NOT HAVE THE ITUNES APP and therefore has no way to access the itunes store mobilely. Please help. I tried restoring in itunes, did so, and still do not have the itunes store app on my ipod.
You probably have restrictions set.

How do you unlock a disabled ipod touch? My daughter has locked herself out and my computer doen't recognize it when we plug it in.
When you say it doesent recognize it do you mean it doesent apear what so ever in iTunes?, or do you get a recovery screen?
If it doesent apear what so ever try having the iPod plugged in and while it is still plugged in hold the power and home button at the same time for 10secounds and see if the device apears when it restarts.
If the device still doesent apear try another iPod connector.
Concerning the forgotten password, you will have to put your iPod in recovery mode. A video on how to do this can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
After that click the restore button in iTunes and wait for the process to complete.
Once it has finished restore the iPod from a backup which can be found by right-clicking the iPod name in the left of the iTunes window.
If you have any other questions please ask

Currently I am away from home, and using a computer that does not have my main itunes library on it. I do, however, have some video files on this computer that I would like to place onto my phone for the drive home tomorrow. Unfortunately, It seems there is no way to do this without completely wiping my iPhone and replacing it with this computers empty library, as the "manage content manually" feature apparently requires me to do this. Is there any way to just add some mp4s to my iphone without erasing all of its data?.

The computer I am referring to is a Windows. However, when I use the same USB cord and plug it into a MacBook Pro, the ipod is recognized and the ipod recognizes the computer. Also, it gets charge from the Wall outlet as well.

How can I get internet on my iPod touch from my friend's iphone?
I have an iPod touch (4th gen), and I'd like to have access to the internet. Suppose I'm in an area that has no free wifi. However, my friend has an iphone (assume the latest version, not jailbroken) that can get to the internet through 3G. Is there any way he could share his internet with my iPod touch? I was thinking via bluetooth or wifi, but any way to connect to the internet is sufficient.
You must have wi-fi router and you should be able to use iTouch easily. I have no problem with mine.
