Can i do this with my ipod touch

Ok so here is the deal i have an ipod touch(16Gb 2nd gen)and i was using it with my desktop i was syncing, updating and transferring data from my desktop to my itouch. Recently i got a laptop and i was wondering is there a way that i can get my stuff already in my ipod touch to my laptop? or do i have to move everything from my desktop to my laptop
mainly what i want to do is import my songs and movies and apps from my itouch to my laptop.... not only my purchased songs... everything in my itouch.. can i do that??? does anyone know how???

I was in the same situation recently. I saved all my stuff on portable hd and then I copied it to my laptop. Then I installed fresh copy of iTunes and I imported everything back in. Make sure to authorize your new pc to play purchased content. Once my library was the way I wanted it I plugged in my ipod and iTunes said I could only sync with one library at the time, so allow it to sync with your newly built library. Also if you haven't transferred purchased content manually itunes can copy it from your ipod to your new library.
If anyone knows easier way to move libraries between computers please let us know.

Trying to update keep getting a message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted Network connection could not be established" using mac OSX. done this with 2 ipod touches??

trying to update 2 ipods but when I go through the process it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" "Network connection could not be established". One of the ipods is locked and I don't remember password.

Here's what you can do in case of the forgotten password:
Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

I can't send emails with my iPod Touch

My son has an iPod Touch and recently won't send emails. He can receive them, but he just can't send them. A message just comes up saying that the server is rejecting his address. Last week it was working fine. Any suggestions?

Hi Afisherman,
Thanks for the quick response.
I did call my ISP and he said the Port should be set at 25, it was defaulted at 995. I changed it to 25 and after that I couldn't receive or send mail. Since Christmas, he was receiving and sending mail, no problem, on Port 995, it just started doing this. So I set it back to 995 so he can at least receive his email. I've talked to a few people and they have been having issues with their email on their iPods. I think it may be our ISP. Might just get him a Gmail account. What do you think?

Can't sync music with new iPod Touch. Help!

I recently received a new iPod Touch for Christmas. However, last night, my moniter on my computer stopped working. So, until I was able to purchase a new one, I simply hooked up and old moniter to my hard drive so I could use my computer.
This moniter is very old, and considerably smaller than my other one, but I thought that it would work just fine. But today, I went to register my new ipod, and the registration screen on itunes was way too small. I could only see about three fourths of the page. I was unable to see and press certain buttons that I would need to in order to register my ipod and sync my music.
So, I went on the iTunes website and went ahead and registered my ipod there. Now, when I plugged in my ipod again, it was still asking me to register it on itunes, but I can't because of my screen. and I can't scroll left or right, because there isn't even a scroll bar.
My ipod is already registered, but now, does anyone know how I can skip the itunes registering process so I can just go ahead and get my music?
Thanks!

Yes, I did that. But my screen is too small, so when it comes to the Terms and Conditions page, the only options I can see are Cancel and Save.
I already registered the iPod on the iTunes website. Can I go ahead and sync my music now? Or must I go through a registration process on the iTunes program in order to get my music?

Can I buy laptop with free ipod touch for family member in school?

I bought a macbook pro for my sister-in-law who is in college on the online store using the education discount. We figured she'd take the ipod touch as well. After purchasing, I noticed that only Parents are eligible for the discount. How is this going to work? They didn't require the proof of eligibility at checkout online (which surprised me). Are they going to stiff me on the rebate for the ipod touch?

I don't know about "stiffing you" since you weren't officially eligible to purchase at the HED discount for your sister-in-law (the fact that they didn't ask for proof of eligibility doesn't waive the eligibility requirements; those are stated several places). Your sister-in-law should have purchased the Mac herself. So if Apple doesn't allow the rebate claim, that's as per their rules. But you can submit the claim:
http://www.apple.com/promo/
and see what happens. If they deny the claim, then you'll have to accept the decision.
Good luck.

Can AirDrop share files with an iPod Touch?

Can AirDrop be used to send and receive PDFs (or other files) between a MacPro and a 3rd gen iPod Touch?

No. AirDrop is for sharing files between AirDrop users, meaning Macs with Lion installed, and even so, as babowa says, not every Mac supports it. It's a Lion feature, currently not present in iOS.

Can I use icloud with my ipod touch ?

It's a 2nd gen, 8GB, version 4.2.1. I'm not even able to follow steps for setting up icloud because when I go to settings and software updates, there is not even a software update category.

Thanx Winston. I understand what the "cloud" is and is not but I just received an ad about "iCloud Everywhere" via iTunes while shopping and I see it on Apple's website too. Through " iCloud Everywhere" you can upload music and thus "make it available on all your devices", according to Apple. Media can then be either streamed to all your devices through the cloud or you can download. They mention for example that you can download a movie if you know you'll be in a place where wifi is not available. They also point out that you can save songs that you didn't buy via iTunes Store and later stream through all your devices. Ergo my question. If I have an iTunes account and buy the iCloud Everywhere subscription I should be able to upload to my Everywhere files regardless of computer registration. Correct? There are programs outside Apple that claim to be able to merge differently registered Apple devices and they want the same amount of money as iCloud Everywhere. I would rather stay with Apple if that's possible. After all it's not fair to lose your media just because your computer crashes or is replaced. I know I raise several issues here so if you can help on the iCloud Everywhere question I'd appreciate any help.

Try deleting the photo cache from your computer and then re-try the photo sync - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Try:
- Powering off and then back on your router.
- Anything else here
iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
- Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
Public DNS — Google Developers
OpenDNS IP Addresses
- Try on another computer/network
- Wait if it is an Apple problem

Al that is left are the standard fixes:
- Reset the dock
- 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.

The computer that I original used with my ipod touch is dead, so I am now synching and backing up to a new computer. I had to restore the software to this ipod. I can drop and drag my tunes back into the ipod, but not my apps.

HT1632 I can view a workout on my ipod touch history, but not in itunes or on nike+ website. I can't seem to upload this run and it's really annoying as I'm loosing about 12k of runs. It seems to happen when I program in a custom run. Can you help?

Hi there,
I have just done a custom run on my Ipod touch 2nd Gen of 12k. When I finished the run is appearing in my run history on my iPod touch, however it is not appearing in my itunes 'Nike+' tab, or on the Nike + website. I can't seem to get this run to sync and it is really annoying because I'll be loosing 12k. Can anyone help or has experienced this before? I know there are solutions to add runs to iPod nano's and older iPods using the 'Enable disk' and iPod_control function however from what I'm aware you cannot do this on an iPod touch. Can anyone please help?
Many thanks
Phil

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

Can No Longer Connect Wirelessly to ITunes With My IPod Touch

While I can connect to the Internet with my IPod Touch through my router, I cannot seem to connect to ITunes wirelessly. My device only shows when I have it connected through the cable directly. The Apple help site hasn't been much good, as they suggested to completely uninstall ITunes (I followed their instructions implicitly) and re-install. Same problem. Not sure if this has anything to do with the new OS....but it's suspicious.

Not sure if I was included in this question, but I'll answer anyway. My computer that I have ITunes on is hard wired into the router, which makes sense since it's on my computer desk But as I said, wireless works fine so It's logically not the IPod, it's not the router, so it has to be either the new OS or ITunes.
I have Rogers Cable and a Cisco Modem/router.
How do you quote posts on here?
Yep, you were included...
To add a quote, click Reply, and at the top of the reply window is a tool bar. Click the icon to the right of the smiley face....
Funny thing is, my desktop is hard wired too, but for grins and giggles I put iTunes on one of my laptops, and used the laptop to reset my iPod to factory settings. Wireless synch still didn't work....
What really aggravates me is when you go to the KB to find out how to troubleshoot an issue, the articles are pretty much blank. Click here, set that, but no real explanation of how stuff works or what can cause it to break....
One thing I have noticed is the KB article says that after you tell iTunes to use Wireless Synch if you don not eject the deivce, it will stay connected when you unplug it... I never saw that behavior....
