Restore itune on my ipod touch

i eased me itune on my ipod and now im trying restore it on my ipod touch again

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.

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

Can I restore iTunes from my iPod Touch?

I recently lost my desktop to what I believe is a fried motherboard. Of course when this happened it was totally unexpected, and there is not a recent backup of my iTunes library. I have everything on my iPod still and was wondering if I could restore from that somehow? Also, I have a laptop with most of the same music on (but not exactly the same) Everything that was purchased was done so under one appleid. What I am really worried about is all of the hours of music I had on the desktop from old CD's. I still have the CD's but would love to avoid having to rip all of that music again. Is there anyway to restore from an iPod, desktop hardrive or iCloud? Also, if there is a way to merge libraries using an ipod that would be helpful. i could merge the ipod onto the laptop and be good to go. Any help is appreciated.

Copy the content of the smaller library into the Automatically add to iTunes folder of the larger one, then dedupe...
Apple's offical deduping adivce is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See thisthread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by itunes since I've done the update I've lost all my music and videos; also I've lost my USB drivers. What can I do to restore my 2nd Gen Ipod touch to factory?

I've done an update on 7/25/11 as requested by Itunes. Since I've done the update I've lost all my music, videos and icons. I also can't connect to any PC via the USB port. What can I do to restore my 2nd Generation Ipod Touch back to factory?

I also have a 2nd generation iPod and when the new version was being advertised on the home page, I clicked on it. And I saw that the update was compatible with iPod touch 3rd and 4th generation, iPad 1 and 2, and all the iPhones. But it wasn't compatible with iPod touch 2nd generation. So you downloaded an update which wasn't compatible with your iPod. I'm sorry.

How the **** do I restore my grandaughter's ipod touch to factory settings? Please help. I have tried the itunes thing and it just goes in circles!!

Can anyone out there please tell me how to restore my grandaughter's ipod touch to factory settings? Her mother has it blocked to her name. omg
<Edited By Host>

I had the same problem a few days ago - just let it keep circling as it will eventually stop. Make sure it's plugged into the computer and walk away. Check on it periodically and do whatever the stupid thing says to do. I think mine "circled" about 5 times before it finally worked. . .

When trying to restore and update my ipod touch it comes up with an error message saying: "The ipod can not be restored this device isnt eligible for the requested build"

When trying to restore and update my ipod touch it comes up with an error message saying: "The ipod can not be restored this device isnt eligible for the requested build" How do i fix this?

I am having the same issue. I just had the battery replaced at a third party store. The battery powers the ipod up but it needs to be restored. It is saying it isn't eligible for rebuild. I am running MAC OS 10.4.11 itunes v. 9.0 and I just want it to be restored. I need help. Oh and its an 8 gb ipod touch.

Itunes sees my ipod touch but not my ipod classic; windows 8 sees each of them

I had an ipod classic 80Gb (older device - 4th gen?) as my daily device, a 16gb touch (newer one - 4th I think) as a backup when my ancient PC crashed and died, had to get a new one. This happened 1st of Sept. New PC has windows 8, and I downloaded latest itunes onto it. This latest itunes recognizes my ipod touch, even synced my new library with it (yes, I had to completely redo my playlists etc after the crash as itunes would not recognize the old library I had had on the ipod). But plugging my (older ?) ipod classic into the same usb port, itunes does NOT even recognize that there is an ipod. Here is what happens :
An olive green windowlet comes up (from itunes ?), beeps at me, tells me "there is a problem with this drive please scan the drive now and fix it". I assume it means the drive with the ipod in it because the beep happens right after I plug in the usb cable. I can see this usb port on windows file system, it says "ipod", and can, after some waiting, see the directories... iPod_Control > Music > Fxx etc., under which there appear to be songs ... mp3 and m4a and wav files, but their names are abbreviated with 4 caps, eg. IXOK.mpe, IPDT.mp3 ... but the little earphone symbol shows beside so possibly I could even play one were I to double click it (default player might come up etc.)... have not tried this yet. The default player mentioned would be itunes, but here is a problem : the whole time that my unrecognized-by-itunes ipod is plugged into the usb, itunes is completely hung up... can't even move the window across the screen. Once I pull the thing out of the usb, itunes is fine again.
This ipod that is not recognized has also been behaving as if it needs a new battery ... does not hold a charge more than a couple of hours... this has been the case since shortly before the new computer, however during the time that there is a charge it does play songs, ff, etc just like always. So I am not sure if this has anything to do with somebody's (itunes' ?) perception that "there is a problem with this drive..."...

I ended up Erase and Syncing again just like I was moving to a new iTunes library. The relationship between my iPod Touch and iTunes got messed up. Everything else was fine. Once I did that everything backed up and re-synced fine.
So glad I didn't have to restore. The weird thing that happened was I canceled out from the Erase and Sync both times and iTunes still attempted to do it anyway. Once I let it, it worked fine.

Sync problem - earlier today I updated both iTunes and my iPod Touch. Since then, I have tried syncing the two. The iPod Touch claims that there is no music on the iPod, however, when I connect it to my computer it says my full library is on there.

Thanks for any help!

- Have you reset your iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next would be to backup your iPod and then restore you iPod from backup via iTunes.

Why can't I restore or sync my Ipod Touch?

I have tried many times to sync my Ipod Touch but it wont let me. then I went to restore it and it wont let me do that either. How come?

try connecting the iPod to iTunes in DFU mode:
First, Open up iTunes, plug in your iPod Touch/iPhone to the CPU's USB port. Turn on your CPU's speaker and make sure it is loud enough that you can hear it.
-Hold down the Home button and the Power button simutaneously, until the screen goes black and the device turns off.
-Now let go of the Power button, but continue to hold the Home button. Your iPod Touch/iPhone should have turned off and the screen should not be on.
-After around ~10-20 seconds, you will hear a noise (beep/ding) from your CPU as if it had just recognized a new hardware device, now iTunes should recognize it in DFU mode.
-After iTunes recognizes the iPod Touch/iPhone, let go of the Home button otherwise it will go into recovery mode and you will have to do the entire DFU process over again.

Cannot connect to iTunes store via iPod Touch...

Whenever I try to go to itunes store thru my ipod I always end up with a box that says "Your request could not be completed". Whether I click on music or videos or podcasts its the same result. But for some reason iTunes U seems to work, but nothing else. What is going on? I tried resetting my settings but still not working. I can access itunes and store thru my pc with no problem but wont work with ipod. I'm using ipod 3g 32gb and its not jailbroken and it has 4.0.2.

1) reboot

I did both of the above and did a restore from backup but it didn't help.
3) reset networking settings and maybe unplug and replug in your router
I don't think it's a network problem for several reasons. First, I have the exact problem at home and at three WiFi hot spots (McDonald's, the Apple Store, and a shopping mall's network). Second, all other apps that access the Internet are working fine. Third, it's only parts of the App Store and iTunes that don't work. For example, the Update button in the App Store still works but the Featured button still doesn't.
I then went to the Apple Store today and the tech had the exact same problems even after wiping it clean and using their account. They ended up replacing my iPod even though the problem continued on the new one, which hadn't been synced with anything.

YAY! Just checked iTunes via my ipod touch and i've got SOME features back (new releases, genres etc). Still no luck browsing the App Store but i'm guessing this means the problem lays with the stores and not with the ipod itself?
Wish i'd known that before I deleted and reset everything
Yea, I just checked iTunes and some features are working again. Like you, I now I assume the problems are on their end.

My iTunes on my iPod touch is all in Hong Kong dollars where as it should be in English pounds. What should I do?

My iTunes on my iPod touch has changed from pounds to Hong Kong dollars and I want it to change back as I can not buy anything. What do I do to fix it? Please help. Thanks x

Take a look at the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple in this support article:

Hope those help.
Your iPod touch will never appear in Windows Explorer, by the way. It doesn't have the "disk mode" that the older iPods did.

ITunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs

Can somebody help me?
I have:
+ iPod Touch 4th Generation 32GB
+ Wi-fi connection
+ iOS5 installed
iTunes on my iPod Touch is missing some tabs. The only tabs that's showing on my iTunes are Podcast, iTunes U, Search and Downloads
Also, whenever I try to load un Podcast tab, it ALWAYS say Your request could not be completed.
Thank you very much!

Where exactly are the tabs that are showing, are they a list at the bottom of the page and next to it is the "More" option, or are you referring to the options on the More tab? You can move these options between the bottom of the page and the More section.
Is that the problem, or is there something else missing? (Perhaps it would have helped if you had mentioned what is missing). If it's the Apps section you are looking for, it has its own App button on the Home screen.
As for the problem with downloading Podcasts, I would try getting them in iTunes on your computer if you cannot download them via the Touch's Wi-Fi.

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

I have a number of audiobooks purchased through iTunes on my iPod touch. Is there a way to move or download them to the Cloud so that I can access them on other devices?

Thanks - I didn't realize that. I'm also embarrassed to admit that I don't know how to transfer the audio files from my iPod to the iTunes library on my computer. When I select a book from the list on the iPod, the only option I see with the right-facing arrow symbol is "Show in iTunes Store ". I back the iPod up to this computer so I guess those files must be on it somewhere, but all I can recognize in the iTunes folder under " Music" are the music files found in the "iTunes Music" folder. (There are also a ton of files named "iTunes Temp (some #).) The Books list on the computer shows some but not all of the audiobooks - I purchased the rest on a different computer that is now unfortunately dead. I'm guessing now that those didn't transfer over when the new computer was populated from the old one, so the iPod may be the only place where those audiobooks now reside. I hope that made some sense- any additional advice would be appreciated.
