Can I restore 1st generation data to 2nd generation iTouch?

My teens 1st gen iTouch was stolen but good thing is a recent sync and backup is on her Mac so we have everything. I just got her a 2nd generation iTouch and before I do anything I wanted to ask as I know I can easily mess this up.
When I hook it up for the first time and I assume it asks to restore or treat as new what should I do to ensure her purchased music and apps get put on her new iTouch?
Thanks for helping an old guy out here to look good to save his daughters iPod data. :O)

Thank you for the reply. I also found this: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
At the bottom of the article it has:
Restoring your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a previous backup
If you upgrade or otherwise replace your device with a newer device, you may be able to restore the previous backup to the new device. For upgrading from the original iPhone to iPhone 3G, see these instructions. You can upgrade one device with the backup from a different type of device; most settings will transfer to the new device.
Note: During the process of restoring your old backup to a new device, you may see the iTunes progress bar pause. If this occurs, please allow for additional time for the upgrade to complete.
I will try your suggestions and am sure all will be fine.

I have switched my iphone to airplane mode so it is not connected to the internet and so icloud can not wipe it at the moment.
thanks roy

There's a menu choice (I think under "Files") that lets you sync purchased items on a device back to itunes. Look for that.
iCloud does not store music. If you want to do that you'd have to subscribe to itunes Match, but to get music to the match servers, you need the music in the itunes library on your computer.

My Macbook drive was replaced. If I sync my IPod Touch I'll lose all the old data on my IPod. Can I restore my iPod data to my computer?

My Macbook drive was replaced. If I sync my IPod Touch I'll lose all the old data on my IPod. What do you do when you buy a new computer or have a new hard drive? Can I restore my iPod data to my computer?

See this article for details: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
Or do this:
Make sure your Mac is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in itunes, connect your ipod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your MacBook.
Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your ipod got wiped during the first sync.
The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

Can water damage be undone to a 2nd generation ipod touch?

Place the iPod is a seal container with a desiccant like uncooked rice for a week and change the desiccant every day or two. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.

HT1222 How can i still update my ipod touch 2nd generation?

How can i still update my ipod touch 2nd generation, does the apple website still provide these older iOS updates?

You can upgrade your iPod on itunes to the most recent software it willl support. Anything past that won't work on your device.

Why Can't I put my Ipod Touch 2nd generation into recovery mode?

I have an ipod touch 2nd generation. I set a passcode on the ipod and then i forgot it. i tried everything and nothing worked and eventually it got locked fully and says "connect to itunes" on it. This is a problem because i no longer have the computer that i last synced to. i have a new laptop now and i threw away the old one.
I know how to fix it. I just have to put it into recovery mode and then restore it.
For some reason, i can't put it into recovery mode. I tried all different methods.
these are the ones i tried:
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212?viewlocale=en_US&cid=acs::itunes_help
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rm2D7-PCTaw
i tried a couple more but i lost the links of them.
when i try to do the part of recovery mode where you have to start up the ipod. it doesn't go into recovery mode. it just starts up and pops up on itunes saying i have to unlock the ipod in order for the device to connect to Itunes!
Please help!

Nevermind! after countless tries, i was able to get it into recovery mode!

IPhone: 1st generation vs. 2nd generation

Are there any significant difference between the 1st generation and 2nd generation iPod touch? Just wondering.

Yes.
1. Internal speaker, so you can hear without headphones.
2. Physical volume buttons.
3. Support for microphone, which will work with Apple's new [In-Ear Headphones|http://www.apple.com/ipod/inearheadphones>
4. Comes with software version 2.1.1
5. Contoured shape like the iPhone 2g.

How can I strenghten a weak Airport Extreme (2nd Generation) signal?

I have been having a weak WiFi signal in my Airport Extreme. Even when I am in a room that is less than 30 ft away.
Here are the details:
AirPort Extreme 802.11n (2nd generation)
     Version: 7.6.1
     Wireless Mode: Participate in a WDS network
     Wireless Security: WPA/WPA2 Personal
     Channel: 6
     Connect Using: Ethernet
My Airport Extreme is on the second floor of the house and is connected to a D-Link DIR 825 router that is on the first floor.
Sometimes when I am on the second floor, I get a better signal from the D-Link router than from the Airpot Extreme.
How can I strenghten the signal?
Thanks in advance

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click on the AirPort Extreme
Information about the device will be displayed in the area to the right
The 3rd Generation product was the first Apple simultaneous dual band router, introduced in March 2009. Minor changes were made in the chipsets between the 3rd Generation and 4th Generation versions with some antenna improvements added in the 4th Generation versions as well. The 4th Generation version was introduced in October 2009.

Can I restore OD user data from Time Machine

Hi,
I accidentally deleted some users from Open Directory Master, can I restore these from Time Machine?
Where are OD files stored?
Thanks!!

The OD is a database, you can't simply restore records to it from TimeMachine, nor any other backup which makes a block copy of it. All these types of backups will restore the whole database or nothing. It's a good idea to always every now and then export a list of data (users, groups, etc) from the database and store that separately on another backup media. The exported data is usually xml and can be edited if you wanna grab/edit a particular user (or any other data contained in the xml file).

HT1766 How can i restore all my data after deleting the apps? can i syncing back from the macbook?

How can i restore back all my data after deleting the apps and re-install back.
After reinstall back stll retrieve all my data.
Can i syncing back the original frm my macbook since last update is Mar

Favor the route via iTunes and local storage on the computer. MUCH faster than any cloudy backup, no matter the speed of your Internet connection. No network beats the speed of a hard drive. Just make sure there's enough room on the computer before you start, must contain all that's on the iGadget.

HT1353 Can you download radio to the old 2nd generation ipod nano? There is no category for downloads, only stuff bought from iTunes.

My 3rd generation ipod nano has blanked out on me. I have a 2nd generation ipod, was able to download my music from my iTunes library on it, but it would not download radio programmes from my download library. There is no category on the ipod for downloads, is this because it doesnt accept them?

It depends on what you mean by radio programs exactly. Where were they originally downloaded from? Do they appear in the music category of your iTunes library?

Newer generations compatible with 2nd generation iPod shuffle?

I Have a iPod shuffle 2nd generation. Are the chargers for the newer generations compatible (3rd, 4th or 5th)?

I returned the shuffle and got a new one. This one
has "light" issues. Sometimes it blinks orange,
sometimes green, sometimes the green light is on,
sometimes the orange light is on and then no light at
all. Also, it has recognition issues but not as
often.
Please order those issues with some more detail so that we can help you.
I love the shuffle as it is the perfect size for the
gym however, I should have waited to purchase one so
the "bugs" would be worked out.
Welcome to the 2nd Gen Shuffle world! We'll try to help you sort out those "bugs"...

Can i put iOS5 update on my 2nd gen. itouch?

i have a 16 gig, 2nd gen itouch. can i get the iOS5 software update on it? if so how. and if not, will they make it available anytime soon?

Probably not, if memory serves, iOS5 is only available for iPod touch 3rd generations on up.

I have both a 1st generation AppleTV and 2nd Generation AppleTV, and my iTunes seems to only recognize one at a time - has anyone else had this problem - can you only use one at a time?

Is this a design flaw? Since the 1st Generation has a hard drive (140GB). If both are on, only the 1st Gen get recognized. I would think you could use both at the same time..... Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes iTunes should work with them all together. Do they have different names, are they on the same network, have you noticed any other problems.
