I bought a new ipod touch to replace my old one that did not have icloud. How do I erase my old ipod?

I just purchased a new ipod touch to replace my old ipod touch. The reason I bought a new one is I wanted one that had the icloud that I could sync to my ipad and iphone. I am going to give my old one to my husband. I plugged my new ipod touch into my computer and put my musice library on it. I then tried to clear my old ipod touch. I went to General Settings and told it that I wanted to clear the ipod touch. It went thru a few things and then it said to plug it into itunes. I do not understand why? On my itunes it does not list two ipod touch's on there as devices, so I am scared it I plug the new one into itunes it will clear both. Please help!

Yeah, what planb77 said.
Just connect your iPod to your computer, let iTunes come up, and then select Restore to Factory Settings. This will clear off every thing and install the current version of iOS for that generation. You can name the device and then set up iTunes to synch the items you choose.
If you have more than one computer, let hubby set up his own iTunes account and Apple ID so you don't get your stuff mixed up.

I tried to download a movie on my iPod touch but due to limited space, it did not download. Then, I checked my credit card online, and I found the money was already taken. How will I get it to download on another device with the same account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

You can try contacting apple customer service http://www.apple.com/contact but usually all app purchases are final and not refundable.

Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

Id My old Verizon phone did not have a cloud how can i transfer My contacts to My new phone?

What phones do you have (old and new?) If your old phone was backed up using Verizon's Backup assistant, the new phone should pick up those contacts, as the Verizon cloud has replaced Backup Assistant, or ratherm BUA has been "absorbed" by the Cloud.
Knowing which phones you are using will help us to give more specific information for transferring the contacts.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.

I have one playlist on iphone4. how can i add new playlist without deleting old one. i do not have old playlist in itunes any more.When i try to sync iphone with itunes it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs.

"it says that this action will remove my old playlist and all songs."
Are you connecting to a different iTunes library than you normally connect to? That will erase the songs and playlists since the iPhone can't be connected to multiple libraries even if it is in manual sync mode.
If you no longer have access to the original library that your iPhone calls 'home', then the only way to save the playlist (and the songs on your iPhone) would be to use a 3rd party application to extract your iPhone contents to this new iTunes library you're trying to connect to.

Can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o?

can i hook up a new macbook air to my older imac screen that does not have a thunderbolt i/o? if not - what can i do to view on a larger display? thanks in advance for any help!!!

You should be able to get an adapter that will change the Thunderbolt out to a DVI or HDMI out, and connect that to an external monitor. I am not sure what connection your iMac screen has, or if it even HAS input capability. I know that the 27' iMac BEFORE it was given the Thunderbolt ports had MiniDP input. If your iMac is any older than that one, I am not sure. But the adapter should allow you to output to any DVI or HDMI display, depending on which adapter you get.

There is no way to do so if you did not set it up in advance. If it was stolen or lost report it to your local autorities.

You should try doing a restore. A restore on your ipod touch will delete all it's storage and set it back to it's factory conditions but it should fix your problem. Before the restore, I suggest making a backup file for your ipod touch on itunes.
To restore your ipod touch:
1.Connect your ipod touch to your computer and open itunes if not already open.
2.Select your ipod touch name in the devices section of the source pane.
3.Click the restore option under the version section in the summary tab. An alert will pop up asking you if you really want to do this. To affirm, click restore.
4.The restore process has now started.
With your ipod touch restored, you can resync it working fine.

The apple store has changed my phone. But when I got the new one i did not have all the songs and apps that i bought. WOuld you please help me to retrieve them back to my iphone. thanks

The apple store has changed my I broken Iphone to a new one. But when I got it, i did not have all my purchased songs and apps in it.

You will need to plug it into your computer and re-sync them from iTunes. The iPhone is meant to be synced/backed up to iTunes on your computer on a regular basis. It is NOT a primary or backup storage device.

How do I change my apple id from an old one that does not exist anymore to the new one I use....Please help me I can't update any downloads for my apps.

I would like to access my music from my account on another devise because my other one crashed. I do not have iCloud and I need this music on my new devise.

Anything you purchased from the iTunes Store can be downloaded again, as often as necessary, as long as it still exists in the iTunes Store.

My ipod touch is disabled do to to many trys for the passcode how do i enable it, my ipod touch is disabled do to to many trys for the passcode how do i enable it

i'd like to enable my ipod touch it was tryed one to many times and i'd like it done before the 40 years time is up

If you've forgotten your passcode then you should be able to restore it by connecting it to the computer that you normally sync to : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212 -
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
