After I restored an ipod touch, I pressed "set up as new" instead of "restore from backup"! Can I go back and restore the ipod from a previous backed up copie in time machine?
If you need to know the location of the backup file that is included here:

hi i have a ipod touch 4 generation 64gb and my camera is blocked and dose not work i cant update the ipod either
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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

We bought a used Ipod Touch from a private party. We can download music when it's hooked up to the computer but can't download any games or songs by using the wifi. How can we change the password so we can do this?
You should restore the the iPod to totally erase the iPod and add your own media to the iPod.
Connect the iPod to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes.

i bought a ipod touch 4th generation with cracked screen and i finally got it to turn on itunes and the ipod was making charging noises but the screen was just white i tryed updating it to ios 5.1.1 bit did nothink so i was wondering how to fix this white screen i tryed a hard reboot ( whitch i heard might work ) but did nothink if there is no sulution to fixing this is it worth buying a new screen ? thaanks
Try here:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If yu can't turn it off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try again.
If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and service is required. -
My iPod touch was stolen and recovered. I can use my Apple id for this site but the theif changed the Apple id needed to update apps etc and I do not know how to delete his acct. Any help with this will be greatly appreciate
If the thief enabled activation lock on the device, then there is nothing that can be done. Only the password for the Apple ID that it is locked with can disable activation lock.

After I reset the iPod I lost all of the iPod contents. When I attempted to resynch I learned the iPod did not have enough space. How can this be so when I have nothing on the iPod?You will prbably had other sync setting than the default ones
Check if the option "Only sync marked songs" is checked. -
i have an ipod touch and i just bought a new laptop, because i lost mine which has all the data of my itouch. i try to sync the music in the itouch to my new laptop but it asks me if i want to delete all my music before syncing what should i do?
You should use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.
The ipod will sync with one computer at a time. Syncing to another will erase teh content from the ipod. -
I plugged up my iPod touch to my iTunes library and it said that it couldnt recognize the iPod and the message told me to restore my iPod? Why would it prompt me to restore the factory settings? Also if I restore the iPod will it erase all of my music even though my music is in my library?
Some of my apps stopped working would this be the reason I need to restore my iPod? I am scared to restore the settings and lose all of my music.
I also put all of my apps in the utility folders, would this have anything to do with my iPod needing to be restored?Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.

I cant sync my iPod touch / What does setting up as new iPod do?
The other day, I first synced my iPod touch to itunes, didnt take very long. Then I tried syncing a CD and when it was half way through I tried to sync the songs already downloaded onto my ipod, but didnt see how. And today, I tried connecting my ipod, and it came up with 2 options: Restore from the backup, or set up as a new iPod. I wasnt sure whether the 2nd option would mean It would delete everything, so I thought of something else which was choosing the Sync to iTunes (what I did when I first synced my ipod) on the general page of my iPod, thus creating a new backup data. Though it still wanted me to choose from the 2 options so I seleted the new backup. The process took about 10 minutes - Which is a **** of a long time since I only wanted to sync some music onto my ipod I had already synced to this computer. After this, nothing changed. It still hadn't been connected to iTunes. This has really ****** me off. What will setting it up as a new iPod do? Will it delete everything or will it connect to iTunes as it is and enable me to sync music to my iPod?
A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
No content is affected by this procedure. -
I have a 2nd generation Ipod touch. Lately the screen will not light up and also at times while typing it returns to the home screen (such as in facebook. Any suggestions?
Have you tried any of the usual 5 R's for troubleshooting. See here for more information.
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/five_rs/
If none of those resolve the issue (including restoring the device back to factory defaults), the backlight issue is likely hardware related, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced either by Apple or a third party repair company.

Why does my ical on my ipod touch not sync with my ical on my desktop imac ical?
It will if I put it in on my desktop though.
Please help,
BrieProbably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

My 2nd gen ipod touch will sync to my computer yet my music i just bought will not go onto the ipod
anyone else have this problem if so tell me what you did to fix it
There are no error messages and yes the iPod is signed into the account that the music was purchased from but what happens is I sync my iPod and it tells me all my music is on there, but it is not in the library and if you search one of the purchased songs it shows up on the iPod. And everytime I click on the song that comes up after searching it takes me to my library for about 5 seconds then puts me at the home screen

FaceTime comes with the 4G iPod. Nothing extra to purchase. The Messages App comes with iOS 5 and nothing extra to purchase.
