8gb iPod Touch - Apps not on new computer

I recently got a new computer, authorized it, and logged in to my iTunes account. My purchase history is there, but only 2 of the several tens of apps I have purchased appear under Apps category. I tried clicking Check for Updates on the apps menu on iTunes, but it said no updates are available.
How do I get my apps downloaded?

You just need to download them again from the App Store, it is free to do so as long as you use the same iTunes account that originally purchased the Apps.
If the Apps are on your iPhone / iPad / iPod Touch then you can also use the Transfer Purchases option when you have the device connected to iTunes, you will find the command in the File menu in iTunes.

  • Had to reinstall windows how do I get ipod touch to not think new computer?

    I have had virus on computer and reinstalled tunes and windows. But I dont want the touch to think it yet another computer im trying to use. It tells me I only have to more computer to hook up to it. I hope Im asking the question right.
    Thanks,

    The 5 authorized COMPUTERS has NOTHING to do with ipods.
    Itunes will allow up to 5 computers to be authorized to play pre-itunes+ music. When you reach the limit of 5 COMPUTERS, then you can de-authorize them all, then authorize the active ones again.
    You can sync as many ipods as you like to a computer.
    In the future, it is a good idea to de-authorize before re-installing your os or getting rid of a computer.

  • How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?
    How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

    - Transfer iTunes purchases to the computer:
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    - Transfer other music by using a third-party program like discusssed here:
    new PC: Apple Support Communities
    - Try to make a backup of the iPod by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Backup
    - Restore the iPod from backup and sync as necessary.

  • My ipod touch is not syncing new music from my itunes.

    my ipod touch is not syncing new musid from my itunes. when i click on my ipod it only shows one song.

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod

  • Can i transfer ipod touch content to a new computer via the ipod touch

    can i transfer ipod touch content to a new computer via the ipod?

    Yes.
    But first, with iTunes open in the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer.
    Then from the iTunes menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases From...
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    You don't need third party software to do this for iTunes purchases.

  • I have an iPod Touch and got a new computer; iTunes is installed, but won't sync with my iPod properly.

    I am running the new computer under Windows 7, and have tried to sync my iPod.  It uploaded the photos and videos from the iPod, but won't upload the apps or music.  The iPod is also not downloading the new music on the iTunes.  How can I sync what I have on the iPod to the computer, without losing the settings, apps and music already there?

  • 8gb Ipod Touch does not sync, many other problems

    Hello - If anyone has advice i would greatly appreciate it -
    Here's the deal. I was given an 8gb ipod touch for christmas last year. The device worked for for several months, one day however it got stuck in a loop where error (9) kept coming up saying that I needed to restore my ipod to the factory settings. I did this and when it finished verifying the installation process it would give me the same error. I took the ipod into the apple store and they tested it on their computer and it worked fine on that, however the took it anyway and gave me a free new one which came a couple days later.
    Since I have had the new one i have still had the same problems. I successfully was able to get my applications onto the ipod touch however when i tried to sync the music the ipod would freeze. When I checked the available space on the ipod it said that only 1.2gb remained eventhough there were no songs on the ipod at all. I tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes many times, i do receive an error message a lot on my computer saying that bonjour service is having issues and can not be accessed, but there is nothing that I do on my computer to cause this problem. My itunes again, with the new ipod touch, is asking me to restore the ipod to the factory settings again. Anyone have any idea what is going on or how it can be fixed?
    Thanks

    When it tells you new hardware is found, do you have the option to search the Internet instead of a CD?
    Be sure you turn off all antivirus, zone alarm, firewall etc. Go into Control Panel and check the Security settings as well as the task bar in the lower right corner. Make sure all those are disabled. Then try again.
    If still no luck, or you seem to be having USB problems, verify your USB is being recognized by XP by following these steps:
    1. From the Start menu, right-click the My Computer/Computer icon and choose Properties from the shortcut menu. The System Properties window opens.
    2. Windows XP and Windows 2000: Click the Hardware tab.
    Windows Vista: Click Device Manager. If Windows needs your permission to continue, click Continue.
    3. In the Device Manager section of the Hardware tab window, click Device Manager. The Device Manager window opens.
    4. Double-click the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" entry.
    5. Double-click the name of each USB Host Controller that appears under the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" entry. A window with the name of the installed USB Host Controller appears.
    6. If necessary, click the General tab. If the USB card is working correctly, you should see "This device is working properly" in the Device Status field.
    If still no luck, look at [Updating the drivers on your Windows PC|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1768?viewlocale=en_US]particularly for updates to the CD or DVD drive, graphics card, sound card.

  • How can I sync my old ipod touch apps to my new ipod touch

    I have an ipod touch 3G and just got an ipod touch 4g, I want to get the apps with their history (such as my calendar and golf scores) on to my new one.
    But apparently I made a mistake when I registered my new touch.  Is there any way I can sync my old apps on to my new ipod touch? 

    Set the new one to be the same name as the old one and it should restore everything on to your knew one.

  • Ipod Touch will not accept new podcasts

    I use my ipod touch a lot for listening to podcasts while riding my bicycle.  I have playlists set up so my favorites can play in the order I place them.  Today I noticed that one of my podcasts was not showing up in the playlist on the ipod.  I tried dragging it over to the device and synched it multiple times.  Then I looked at the podcasts on the Touch through iTunes to see that different podcasts were there but grayed out with a grey, dotted circle next to them. 
    So after some searching I read that this can be caused by the ipod being full.  So even though I showed over 3gb free, I deleted some music and podcasts to free up another 3 gb.  No luck.
    Then I read that I should click on "Manually Manage music".  I did that and still no luck. 
    I've searched around the forums to find several people complaining of this but it is mostly concerning music and authorizations etc but these are free podcasts so I can't imagine there's any issue like that. 
    Does anybody have any idea why this would be going on?  I'm ready to restore the thing but I remember that process as being a big pain.
    Thanks!

    Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
    - Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes. For how to restore: iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    You have to either:
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    Also, are the apps compatible with iOS 6? Many apps now require ios 7. hOWEVER.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • IPod Touch Apps to 2 new iPhone

    Hi,
    Hope you can help.
    I have had a iPod Touch for about of year and been synching with iTunes on Windows.
    It has apps I bought for myslef, apps bought for my husband's use and apps (games!) for the kids.
    I now have ordered 2 iPhone on mobile contract for myself and husband.
    I want to take my apps onto my new iPhone and my husband wants his on his iPhone.
    I want to also seperate the Itunes accounts obviosuly. At the moment it is the single one for the ipod Touch and uses my personal details.
    I would really appreciate if someone could inform me if all this is possible and how to do that
    Oh and I will be using my new iPhone with iTunes on an iMac - i guess you can tell I have converted to mac
    Thanks

    All of your apps should be on your computer.  If they are not, then put them there.
    You can then sync them to any of your devices that you like.

  • How to retrieve all data from iPod Touch and copy to new computer?

    I recently purchased a new iPod and MacBook. The MacBook was stolen and I had to buy a new one. I have a lot of music and photos on the iPod I would like to recover and copy back to the MacBook. However, the iTunes says it will delete everything. I want it to sync everything from the iPod and continue with that data.
    How can I do this?
    Thanks,
    gonzobrains

    You're welcome, child.
    "backups. But that's not my point. I find it disappointing that I cannot sync my data both ways."
    O.K. It still is the way it is.
    "Here I have gigabytes of data sitting right here on my iPod and no way to natively copy it back to my new computer without purchasing third-party software."
    Yes, this is true.
    "Every other mobile device I have ever owned let's you easily copy back to a computer. Just plug it in, mount it, and there you go."
    As you now know, this is not the case with the ipod touch.
    You asked how and I told you that you cannot without 3rd party software. What is it that you want?
    Simply maintaining a backup (basic) would solve the issue.

  • Ipod Touch Apps NOT syncing (Bonus: manually managing smart playlist)

    Can Someone Please Explain this to me simply?
    1) I have a 32GB ipod Touch and it will NOT let me do anything with my apps from my itunes. I click on my ipod touch under devices on itunes. Then I click on apps next to summary and the entire section is grayed out in a way that I can not sync my apps nor arrange them how I would like to. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
    PLEASE help me with question 1.) FIRST
    2)This question is just a little more general but I have been searching and not able to find the answer, but I like to manually manage my music from my itunes to my ipod touch in a way that my entire itunes library does not load on my ipod touch. However, I have a few SMART playlist in which I click and drag the entire SMART playlist to my ipod touch. However, I have a SMART playlist set up for recently downloaded/purchased songs in my itunes, yet every time I drag that SMART playlist to my itunes it adds ALL of the same songs including the new ones instead of simply only adding the new ones and skipping the songs already on the device...how would i fix this?

    I seem to have found a way to fix this. For every app on the touch, I deleted the copy from Applications in iTunes and resynced to have iTunes get a new copy from the device. This seems to have corrected the problem.

  • IPod Touch Apps not syncing properly

    My iPod Touch won't sync Apps from my computer to the device. I have manual syncing turned on and this has worked for me previously. iOS is better than what is needed for all apps, all apps can be used on the iPod Touch and i have more than 40GB free... why won't it work?

    okay - i found it - so for anyone who's wondering:
    go into "DEVICES" "Your iPod"
    on the screen that comes up - at the top it says "SUMMARY"
    beside it says "APPS" click that
    an option should come up to "SYNC APPS" tick all apps you want synced
    click "APPLY/SYNC" in the bottom right hand corner...
