Is there a way to sync my iPod Touch 4th Generation to a linux computer?

I just bought an iPod Touch 4th Generation, and the computer I use runs on linux Ubuntu. Is there any way to sync my iPod to my linux computer, whether it be legally jailbreaking the iPod, putting another operating system on my iPod, a program/plugin that my iPod can sync to, somehow running iTunes through Wine, etc.?

You can try Wine. You can also try running Windows in a virtual machine in Linux.

    Every night is fine. It is not desirable to let the iPod automatically shut off on low battery.

  • My computer won't let me sync my iPod touch 4th generation

    My computer isn't/won't let me sync my iPod touch 4th generation. I'm trying to upload photos from my computer (laptop, HP/Windows 7).
    iTunes keeps asking me to authorize my computer, it will authorize it, but it will ask the same question and for my Apple information again.
    It will let me get to step 3/5 of the syncing process but if I hit the X and close out, it will terminate/end the process. I've only synced this one
    computer. Any advice?
    -InnocentD3mon

    It doesn't freeze, it just asks for my Apple ID and password. It'll repeatedly pop up and ask, even if my computer is already synced. When I close out of the login/sync request it terminates the syncing process.
    When it's listed at the 3/5 in the syncing process, it says "Transferring Purchases from 'xxxx's iPod touch' (Step 3 of 5)"

  • In the new update on itunes i can't sync my ipod touch 4th generation why can't i?

    In the new update for itunes it wont let my ipod touch 4th generation conect so i cant sync my music onto it no more what can i do?

    If you have Win 8.1 then if
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    does not work I have not seen a solution. It seems there are problems with 8,1 and the latest iTunes version

  • For Christmas I got a new computer after my other computer broke so I am wondering is there a way to sync my iPod touch that I already had with my new computer without deleting all my app data because I have over 200 hundred dollors of games

    I got a new computer for Christmas it is a gateway and I have downloaded iTunes on it I need  to know if there is a way that I can sync my iPod touch with my new computer without deleting all of my app data I don't have my old computer It crashed so u can't even turn it on

    You should be able to:
    Use Edit > Preferences > Devices > Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically.
    Connect the device to iTunes.
    Backup the device to the new computer.
    Transfer your iTunes purchases into a newly authorized library.
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer.
    Restore the device from the backup.
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps. When you get it all fixed, make a backup!
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.

  • Is there a way to use an ipod touch 3rd generation as a hard drive or flash drive?

    I have an ipod touch 3rd gen thats all cracked and tourn up, it still will boot up but it wont respond to touch and the headphone jack doesnt work.  it still shows up in itunes and i can restore it and put music on it and everything, but sinse the touch doesnt work, i cant do anything with it. its also missing the top black part of the screen so you can see all the hardware and stuff. Is there any way to use it as just a hard drive or flash drive so that when i plug it in, it mounts to my desktop?

    Well you actually can use it to hold all kinds of files.
    If you don't like the itunes interface there are a whole lot of apps that will wired or wirelessly swap files back and forth with your iPod.
    a few come to mind are/
    phonedisk dropbox
    shovebox
    filemagnet
    USBDISK
    Air sharing
    photoshare
    amd these are just the ones I use on a weeklly basis, most were cheap or even free, check them out at the itunes store or from appshopper or something like that.
    OR goto ifixit and order a new sceen and put it on yourself for cheap
    HOpe this help.

  • Is there a compatibility issue with the iPod Touch 4th generation and the TomTom carkit that worked fine with my 1st generation iPod Touch?

    I recently purchased a new iPod Touch. The "keyboard" of my first generation was beginning to play up, but it still worked fine with my TomTom carkit (if you'll allow for the fact that being restricted to OS 3 meant you couldn't update the software either). But, contrary to what I'd been told, the fourth generation one refuses to work. I think it's making contact because I hear the connection beep, but it  doesn't charge up or seem able to find the satellite connection. I've seen someone saying it was a physical width problem. If it's making contact, why isn't it capable to pick up a signal? Is there a compatibility issue after all?

    Got you! Why this didn't come up in my search before, have no idea. So it's all a question of design... How mean not to inform manufacturers of accessories about the change in specs. About to try the folded-over business card solution and then Velcro if the former doesn't give satisfaction. Did actually buy a silicon case, but it makes the protective filter buckle as it gets under the edges which isn't exactly useful. Went back to my previous leather case which I have to remove to use the car kit...

  • I want to sync my iPod Touch 4th Generation with the iTunes on my new laptop. However, when I try, it says, "Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?" Does this mean even my games, photos and iMessages will be erased?

    "An iPod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPod with the contents of this iTunes library."
    I used to use my desktop computer for all my iPod and iTunes needs, but it's Windows XP so I no longer use it. I now have a Windows 8.1 laptop which I want to use for my iPod. Photos can be backed up but I have a lot of game progress and iMessages that I don't want to lose.

    You will lose your app data unless you backup to the new computer and then restore from backup will all the app in the iTunes library of the new computer.

  • Is there an error 28 fix for ipod touch 4th generation restoring?

    is there a fix for error 28

    Error 23, 28, 29: These errors may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Also attempt to restore while connected with the white USB Dock Connector cable that shipped with your device, on a known good computer and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value, (00 499901 064000 0), can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured security software can also cause these errors.

    There is no legal way to do this-  You would need to be using the same AppleID (account)
    As far as deleting the songs, in a situation like this, you should restore the iPod which will delete the songs as well as allow you to sync your own music.
    For instructions on how to delete/add songs  it's best to check the manual:

    As far as restoring, you didn't mention what model you are using but just choose your model from here (they have step by step instructions):

  • Is there a way to resort an ipod touch to the point before a restore was done on it? It is telling me there is nothing in the icloud and I need to reset it back up.
