A friend gave me an ipod and i have no purchase date and i no longer have access to my friend

Ok so my brother was given this ipod as a present about 2 years ago by a friend of his as a gift. This friend was met at a farmers market in Los Angeles and my brother only got to be in contact with this friend on the weekends when he would sell fruit at the farmers market (my family runs Etheridge Farms Organic Produce and attends many different farmers markets in the Los Angeles area including Encino, Calabasis, and Santa Monica but the same people do not always do the same market). He then let me put all my music on it and since then my computer has crashed and this ipod is the only thing that has my music and videos on it. Now he has recieved a newer Ipod and has given me this ipod so i can redownlaod my music. Unfortunately the email address that was used for my old itunes account had been hacked a little over a year ago so I have recently gotten a new computer and a new email address, so I am trying to register this ipod onto my itunes account so i can get all 500+ songs and 3 movies but it is asking for a purchase date. I personally do not know the man who gave the ipod to my brother and my brother has lost contact with him. So I dont know what to do. I purchased all of the songs on my grandmothers credit card and the card has expired since then. I am just woundering if I am out of luck or if there is some way to get my purchases back by using what information I have from my old itunes account.
P.s. I know this ipod wasnt stolen because my mother knew about it and if my mom knows about it the first thing she will ask is where u got it from and go verify that it wasnt stolen from someone. My brother has gotten her into this habbit because he used to steal often and got caught either in the act or tracked down through security cameras on multiple occasions. Also the screen of the ipod is broken so I can not see what is going on with it but the music still plays and everything. Please help I have been trying to get information about the ipod for a few weeks now and am about to give up and that is alot of money spent to just give up on.

It all depends on the version of AirPort Express that you have.
If you have the "new" AirPort Express with both a WAN and LAN port, you can connect the G5 to the LAN <-> port on the AirPort Express.
If you have an older AirPort Express that has only one Ethernet port, then that port is already occupied with the connection from your modem.
Does your modem have additional open Ethernet ports or does it have only one Ethernet port?

Try DFU mode and then restore
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
Or try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode
RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

Try and force iPod into Recovery Mode:
1. Turn off iPod
2. Connect USB cable to computer; leave the other end alone
3. Press and hold the Home button down and connect the docking end of cable to iPod
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect To iTune" screen
5. Release the Home button
6. Open iTune
7. You should see "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode"
8. Use iTune to restore iPod
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

My friend gave me her ipod but i cant get the music to my empty library

i have my friends old ipod with her music still on it. but i cant get the music to my empty library

This friend gave you their iPod, not their media. The media is not yours and you have no legal right to it.
Restore the device as new via iTunes on the computer.
Purchase your own media and sync it to the device.

My husband gave me his iPod touch, even after resetting all settings, and even though I have a user name and password whenever I need to update apps it shows his previous user name, and is asking for his password. How do I fix that?

Ok, when I go into my Apple ID account, everything looks right. It does show my user name. It's only on the iPod that it shows my husband's previous user name, and it asks for his password. Everything in iTunes and my account looks right. The issue only seems to be with the actual device, iPod Touch 4th gen.
There is more than one way to access the Apps Store and the iTunes store. One is via iTunes on your computer, and the other is via the apps on your iPod.
Just because you are logged in on your computer does not mean you are logged in on your iPod.
The reason your husband's user name comes up is because he was the last one to log on. You can change that by going to Settings>Store. Tap the Apple ID, Tap Sign Out, Tap Sign In, Tap Use Existing Appel ID, enter your e-mail address and Apple ID password, and tap OK.

HT1727 All of the music on my ipod touch was synced with another computer that I no longer have. Will I be able to transfer songs and videos that I didn't purchase?

Move or copy all the media from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer.
iDevices are not backup devices.

HT1386 My computer was stolen with all my iTunes on it. However, my iPod was not stolen. How do I transfer all files from my iPod to my new computer (purchased files and files I copied from CDs)?

My iPod just randomly deleted all my music, but I no longer have the computer where I synced it to. Can I still get my purchased tracks if I download iTunes on another computer?

If for some reason you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer ( not good), then you can redownlaod some itunes content in some countries:

I have just synced my touch with a new pc and added cloud, all seems well except I no longer have my purchased films and cannot find them, what do I do?

If they are not on the iPod or on the computer they are gone and you will have to repurchase them if you want to play them again. Movies are not one of the categories of iTunes purchases allowed for a free redownload.

Having arranged some scanned pictures in an album in I-Photo how can I keep them in the order I have chosen when I move the album. They all have the scan date and not the taken date and move to new positions if I move them from one album to another.

Is there any way to re-number them in the order I have chosen so that they can then be sorted by number? The scans are all from pre-digital images that I wish to move to a photobook and I don't want to have to organise them twice!
Thanks for any suggestions.

I was a bit short, Chris, sorry. It is limited, what can be posted, when typing on an iPad.
Now I am back on my Mac. I meant the following: Batch Change the date for a large range of photos, that should have a date stepped in increments.
Select all Photos at once and use the command "Photos > Batch Change".
Then set the date for the first photo and select an increment, e.g. one minute.
Now all photos will get a new date assigned, incremented by one minute, in the sequence you have selected. So you will be able to sort them by date. This way it will be unnecessary to change the titles or filenames.

fair enough. No need for any unnecessary posts either. You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

Check your purchase history to make sure nothing was purchased your account:

if your account was not used to make the purchase call AppleCare and ask for some assistance or you could email/chat a case to iTunes support.
To email/chat iTunes support follow the link below:
expresslane.apple.com
- select iTunes
- select iTunes Store
from here follow the options.
hope this helps

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.
