2 iPod Touches, 2 Accts, 2 Computers, 2 Generations..Update from 1 Acct?
I have read all the postings on updating multiple iPod Touches but I'm still not sure of what I need to do in my case. I own 2 iPod Touches. I use the newer one (Gen2) for personal use and use the older one (Gen1) for work. I manage the newer one using my personal iTunes acct. on this computer (a Mac Mini), and the other one using a 2nd acct on the PowerMac in my studio. I just updated the newer one on this computer.
Can I update the older Gen1 Touch from my personal iTunes account and not the 2nd account with which it is normally managed? If so, how do I do it and what computer should I use? Ideally I'd like to get the 2nd update at no additional charge, but I would be willing to pay if needed. But I'd like the payment to come out of the money that I already have in my personal iTunes account and not have to add more money to my 2nd account.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Are you saying you have two iTunes accounts but they are both yours? Has that been a pain being able to play your own purchased music?
I wrote that other post about the 4 iPods. I could be wrong but I think you will have to pay twice. You could always sign in to your account with the credit and do both, but you probably should make sure both iPods are also signed in to the same account first, then you may be able to switch back. Either all will be fine or you might have to restore or reload that second iPod. The only reason I even suggest this though is because they are both your iPods.

ALL the tips on the internet/youtube require installing software that is now embedded on my computer - such a scam
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.

Hi. My itunes library is in current 10.5.2 but my old ipod touch 4th or 3rd gen is not updating at all its still in current 4.2 and there is some apps i cant download that requires a 4.3 update but in my itunes it wont. Please help!
Are you sure you have a 4g/3g iPod? If you don't have a camera, it's definitely not 4G. If it has no camera and is 8 or 16 Gb it is a 2G and can't go beyond 4.2.1.

I have an iPod Touch and want to transfer apps and games from my Mac. Is it possible? Thanks
thanks againYou can sync iOS apps from your compute's iTunes library to your iPod. An iPod will only run iOS apps/games. It will not run or even sync computer apps/games.

When I went to update my iPod touch on iTunes, it said unable to update then the iPod shutdown and no longer showed connected in iTunes. I have tried holding down both buttons for up to 3 mins with no luck turning it on, even after a full charge. Help?

my ipod touch front camera ist working since i update it to IOS7 i think is a bug or something. pls try to fix it because this **** is taking me crazy
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. It happened to some other users before iOS 7. Thus, it does not appear to be an iOS 7 problem.

my ipod touch is 3rd gen how can i update my ios from 4.2.1 to 5.1.1 when i shift + restore and load the ipod3_5.1.1.ios its always say your firmware is not compatible
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.
Identifying iPod models
iPod touch (3rd generation)
iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318. -
we transferred purchases and synced from a iPod touch to a toshiba laptop, after it updated and synced again we have been unable to put the files back onto the ipod. the computer will not let us drag or copy paste files, and when we tried to " export" the library to the documents folder, it only showed up in code. we have books and music we would like to reload to the ipod.
Hello Jean164,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are unable to manually put your content back on your iPod Touch.
It seems like you may need to re enable Manually Manage Music now that the device has been updated, and this article should help with that.

Froozen IPod touch - due to iOS 4.3.3 UPDATE
Just updated my IPod Touch 2gen - with iOS 4.3.3 update - due to i tunes requested, the IPod turn off to reboot & will not start back up.
Try every thing - putting it in DFU mode ...etc. what's really got my goat is that when I took in in the shop they said its now totally broke & I need to buy a new one !!!!! it was ok until I updated with Apples update software.
I feel ripped off !!
Does anyone have the same issue ??? Please helpDid you try a hard reset? Download RecBoot and see if that will kick it into recovery mode, so you can do a manual install/restore, as outlined in link below.

I was trying to fix the "ghost" songs on my ipod touch 4th generation today. Somehow I ended up deleting all my songs from the touch. Now when I try to get them back from my computer it states that they have to be downloaded from the icloud first. Don't know how to do this or why I can't just drag and drop the music from the computer back onto my ipod touch.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.
It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days. The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.
