App store, second hand ipod - too long for title

Hi guys, sorry for the noob post!
I bought an ipod touch around this time last year, worked perfectly, no problems, got a bit bored and was scared to break it when doing sports so i sold it on and went back to my nano
Recently one of my friends offered me his old one for cheap, since he now has an ipad and an iphone. he just gave me it with all his apps on it and stuff.
I had previously purchased a couple of the games on the ipod, and played them quite a bit (namely angry birds) and just today tried to sync to my itunes library.
Is there any way I can sync this ipod, with all my app data for the apps I own, with my current itunes library? I dont fancy going back and 3 starring everything again.
basically, I want to add all my new music and keep my app data.
any other info you need let me know!
thanks
Ali.

To get back you app data you need to restore your "new" iPod from the backup of your old iPod. This will erase it and replace the iPod contents with those in the iTunes library on your computer. Therefore, make sure that you have the app in the iTunes library too. You can redownload the apps at no additional cost as long as yur are signed into the iTunes account that originally purchased the apps. See:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
The apps that came with the "new" iPod still belong to original owner. The license to use them did not transfer with the iPod.

I have bought a second hand ipod 4, but it has the previous owners details all over it, for example it has her email address when trying to update facebook. How do I update it with my email address?

I have just purchased a second hand ipod touch 4. The previous owners details are still in it, so for example when I try to update the facebook app it asks me for the previous owners password, and shows the previous owners email address. How do I change it all to my details? I have already synced it with itunes and all of my music is now in it, and it's also renamed on the itunes page when I attach the ipod to my PC. I've also been in to the 'info' page, 'Advanced' and then 'Replace information on this ipod with mail accounts from this computer' then finally 'apply', but it still has the other persons ID.

I've answered my own question! I now understand that you can't use apps as they are always going to be linked to the original owner. I've since deleted the app and downloaded it again, and all is now well!

The language in the app store on my iPod touch is no longer English. How do I get English back?

What country's App/iTunes store are you using? Di y change it to other than to an English speaking country?

When I try to download anything from iTunes or the app store on my iPod touch, my sister's Apple ID comes up instead of my Apple ID. How can I get my iPod touch to ask for the password for my Apple ID rather that of my sister's.

You can try to tell the iPod to use yours:
1. Tap Settings
2. Navigate to "iTunes & App Store"
3. Tap Apple ID:
4. Tap "Sign Out"
5. Sign in to your account.

Why does the App Store crash every time I search for something on my iPod?

Every time I open the App Store on my iPod touch and search for something, it crashes. I tried resetting my iPod, but the App Store still crashes. I used to love my iPod and was very happy to have supported Apple, but it just makes me angry more than anything now. Also, in the Tree World app, my hippo was deleted. I was moving my critters around on their branches when all of a sudden my hippo was carried off the screen never to be seen again. I can't buy it from the market. I am VERY upset over this.

I have the same bug cuz of the new App Store application ,,, almost the next update they ll fix it ,,
But really it isn't a big problem ,,, after AppStore crash open it again ,,, & install what u want ,,,
That's all

Why does the App Store on my iPod kick me out when I try to search for an app?

The App Store on my iPod touch keeps kicking me out when I try to search for an app or when I go to genius. I updated to ios6 today and this hasn't happened before. What can I do?

I have the same problem on my iPod Touch 4 (IOS6). My iPhone 4S (IOS6) works fine. But the App Store crashes when I hit the Genius bar in App Store. Apparently other folks are having this same problem. I've rebooted, but that doesn't help.

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.

For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
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.

Brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen, tried to restore it and the battery died now it will not charge or switch on

Hello everyone I brought a second hand ipod touch 4th gen and it all worked fab except it wouldn't let me put any new apps on it so my friend suggested I restore it which I did but while it was restoring the battery died. Now it doesn't seem to be charging and I have left it for ages through the laptop and tried it through a geniune apple plug in charger but its not working. When you plug in the cable to the laptop or plug the little grey apple comes up on the screen but only stays on for about 5 maybe 6 seconds. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried all the trouble shooting suggestions on apple but none of its worked, Shall we just bin it and learn from our mistakes.
Thank you to anyone who can help

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.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I bought a second hand ipod 4 and it's not letting me sign into icloud. A message saying the five free accounts have already been registered to this ipod.? what can I do?

I bought a second hand ipod 4 and it's not letting me sign into icloud. A message saying the five free accounts have already been registered to this ipod.? what can I do?

From a previous post:
UPDATE: it is possible to remove an iCloud affiliation from a device when the maximum number of free accounts has been used. I used the "reset and erase" option from Settings | General | Reset | Erase All Content and Settings. When this was finished, the iPod was like new - not just "restored" as we can do within iTunes and I had done with this device - it was legitimately restored. I signed in with my son's newly created Apple ID and it was accepted and now the device works like a charm. It also still uses my Apple ID and password for the iTunes and App stores, however I have restrictions in place to prohibit him from downloading or buying any content. I hope this helps anyone else that has reported this question.

I have a second hand ipod 2nd genration, its is currently in IOS 4.2.1 i need to update it to IOS 5 or higher but im unsure on how to do this.

You can't. The 2G tops out at 4.2.1
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
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.

No app store present on iPod Touch 4th gen and can't sync apps in iTunes, tried restoring/updating

I've tried everything I know to fix this problem with no luck so far, I'm hoping someone can help. Note that iTunes has been updated to the latest version (and my friend's computer is running Windows 7, if that helps at all).
My friend has an iPod Touch 4th generation. A while back he asked me to help him get apps onto the iPod, and I discovered that the App Store on the iPod itself was nowhere to be found, nor can he remember ever having one. In addition to this, he can't sync apps onto the iPod from within iTunes - the option to sync in the apps tab is greyed out. The music/movies/etc. sync just fine, however. At the time, his iPod had iOS 4.1.
After checking for parental restrictions in his iTunes and the iPod, I found that his iPod has a restrictions password set, which he doesn't know. His parents have no memory of setting restrictions and don't know the password, either.
I read online that the only way to remove the restrictions password is to restore the iPod, and since this seemed to be a good idea anyway due to the odd issue with iTunes refusing to sync apps, we restored the iPod and updated to iOS 5.1 today. Unfortunately, the App Store is still nowhere to be found, and we still can't sync apps in iTunes. The iPod still claims a restrictions password has been set as well.
I have checked and double-checked that no restrictions are set in iTunes preferences. My friend created a new iTunes account, so that shouldn't be the problem. While we're hoping to get both iTunes sync and the iPod App Store app working properly, right now he just wants to be able to get apps onto his iPod.
Does anyone have any ideas why his iPod didn't come with an App Store app, why it still doesn't have the Store after restoring, why iTunes won't sync apps, or why the restrictions password is still set after the restore? I've honestly run out of ideas as to how to fix this.
Before I posted this, I did a little more looking online about the restrictions password, which is apparently restored along with a backup. Neither of us were present during the restore (we had to leave for a couple of hours after the restore had been started), so I'm only asking this because I don't have his iPod or computer with me at the moment to test it myself - is there a way to manually cancel restoring from a backup during the process? If so, I need to restore the iPod a second time.
In the meantime, any ideas about my other three questions?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Edit: His iTunes account is authorized, by the way.

What exactly happmens when you try? Error message?

Second Hand iPod Touch

I have a second-hand iPod Touch running software version 2.0.2 (5C1). I had thought that everything was deleted back to factory specs. However, when it connects wirelessly to the iTunes Store, it asks for a password. I haven't connected it to my Mac yet in case it damages it as a result of this. I know I'm being paranoid but if I reset the iPod using the reset button, will that remove everything like old usernames and passwords?
Thanks

i got the ipod touch in the mail from the seller
and plug'd it in and it had run out of batt
and only showed the charging and apple logo

Registering a second hand ipod 4

i bought a used ipod touch 4th gen on ebay a few months ago. when i connected the cable to my computer it recognised the device as a camera. i looked online for an answer and realised that there is a version of windows which recognises the new ipod as a camera. i also found that i needed to get the latest version of windows and make sure the ipod was registered. i've downloaded the latest version of windows, but i have no idea how to register a second hand ipod.

What do you mean "register"?
Open itunes store, connect ipod, choose what you want to sync, sync.

Week Cal HD app removed from App Store because it is too similar to the build in calendar - what is your take?

Apple apparently removed the Week Cal HD app from the App Store becuase it is too similar to the build in calendar app. I loved that app and am really annoyed that Apple removes an app I paid for, thus making it impossible for the developer to post an update that would allow it to work under OS5. I just posted this email below to their support but would love to hear what others are thinking about this issue and hopefully enough people raise their voice to get apple to allow the app back into the store. Here is my email to customer support. I will post also any reply I get Apple:
Customer Support,
I have purchased Week Cal HD a while back via the App Store. This app stopped working after I upgraded to OS5 and I have been waiting for a new version that supports it. Since no update was posted until now I contacted the developer and have been informed that Apple has removed the app from the app store, claiming it has too many similarities with the build in calendar application.
I find this very unfortunate as the app as a few key features the build in calender application doesn't have (ability to set first day of the week to Monday, better looking UI). I actually find it deeply troubeling that Apple decides to effectively take away an app a customer has purchased through Apple. I find the argument that it has been removed because it is too similar to the build in calendar highly disingenious as a) this was already the case when Apple first sold it through the app store and b) it doesn't harm Apple's business as the build in calendar app is an OS feature and not a separate revenue stream. So what if it is similar? It does something the build in software doesn't and I paid to access this software knowing that it is a product that provides similar funcitonality. Quiet frankly I loved Week Cal HD because of these subtle differences and I cringe every time I now have to use the build in calendar (I find it unbelieveable that a company with the design ethos of Apple, that is capable of developing such stunning modern hardware, creates a calendar app that is so inflexible and has a UI that is in such bad taste - do you really think I want a simulated paper feel on my futuristic IPad?).
I very much encourage you to allow the sale of Week Cal HD through the App store again or provide me with a reason why Apple decided to effectively take away a software I paid for?
Thanks,
Nico

And i think with further digging you will discover that the developer has had a revised app for many many months ready but its been blocked by apple. Also these similar features that are causing the fuss first existed on week cal hd, not the other way around, sovthis is just usual apple style, and its a bigger shame that they could not even exucute it properly, instead we are stuck withva calendar that cant be used for business unless all you want to do is keep track of birthdays and your lunch breaks ....
