Can I use the backup of one iPod Touch on another?

Hello,
The other day, I accidentally dropped my 4th generation 32GB iPod Touch on concrete from a couple of feet. The screen has many cracks and the top-right corner is missing a few chunks of screen. The corner is completely shattered and the "organs" are visible through this gash. I backed up the iPod to my computer. I was wondering if this iPod "crashes' or stops working due to the hole, can I use the back up of the data of the iPod on another 4th generation 32GB iPod Touch to have my previous data(from the original iPod) on the new iPod?
Thanks in advance.
P.S. The iPod is currently working fine as of the time this was posted(including the near-by camera), but I am very concerned it that it may become unusable. And if you know of a place where I may be able to get it repaired for cheaper than Apple, please share.

Yes. That is completely correct and the expected result of having to replace an iPod.
Given the damage you describe, it might not be cost effective to bring it to anyone other than Apple. They have a flat rate exchange program: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
Looks like $149 Could be worse, if you had not synced it with your computer.
Now consider what would happen if your Windows computer broke. Given the prevalence of viruses and such, it is a very likely possibility. Research means to back up your computer and make it a habit to keep the backups updated.

Can I use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime?

I have been trying to use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime. Will it work? How do I sign in? When I click on Preferences the preferences window does not appear, and preferences in the drop down menu becomes greyed out. I am using an older Apple Cinema Display. Also Apple doesn't show the iSight camera for sale on the website.

Hello Chris
Pairing an iPod touch to the computer to use the camera is not supported, but you can use any webcam that can be plugged into the computer.

My iPod had a problem, so apple give me a new one and i can´t use the backup of my iPod that had a problem, what can i do ?

I had a problem with my iPod, so because of that apple gave me a new one. So i want to get all my infomation back using the bachup of icloud, but when i put in the iPod use a backup of icloud it said that there is no backup and in iTunes didn´t apear. What can i do ?

That's the problem. You can't restore a device to a backup made on a device that was running a higher iOS version than the device being restored. You'll first have to update the replacement to iOS 6, then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings, go back through the setup screens again and when given the option select Restore From iCloud Backup. Your backup should now be available to restore to.

How to transfer the music from an Ipod touch to another one

How can I transfer the music from an Ipod touch to another one

Assuming you synced the contents to the first iPod Touch, you just plug the second iPod Touch into the same instance of iTunes and select to sync the music. If your original iTunes library is on a hard drive which has failed, then restore that from your backup and follow the above procedures.

How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's

push it again, that the second panel disappears.

You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
TRUE to show or
hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
the VI name.

Can I use the backups that I made with Leopard ?

Hi,
Can I use the backups that I made with Leopard or do I have to re-configure Time Machine again, like it never happened when SL is installed ?
Sincerely.

You should only have to worry about doing this, if you choose to erase and install Snow Leopard.
Snow Leopard by default upgrades your system, and thus a restore would only be necessary in an emergency.

Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?

Can I get the library from my Ipod touch next generation back to my PC?
My PC got a virus and I had to reinstall windows from scratch so I lost most of my music. I had a backup program that died in the middle of it so only half came back. the only place that I have all the songs is on the ipod. if I let it sinc it will loose the half that I do not have.
Any ideas on which direction I should go?

If your iPod is set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows with iTunes installed hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer: iTunes - Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows
If at any point you get a message that your iPod is linked to another library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.

I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs?

I have all my music on an external media drive that has crashed. How can I get the music of my ipod touch back onto the comupter without loosing the music when it syncs. in order to start rebuilding my music collection?

You should be able to recover the media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer but I'm not sure what the implications are for your application settings. You can probably transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any other media using third party tools, then restore the device from the backup. That should switch the assocation of the device to the new library but it is not something I've personally tested.
When you get it all working, make a backup!

Can i transfer the stuff on my ipod touch on to my ipad?

Can i transfer the stuff on my ipod touch on to my ipad?

It depends upon what "stuff" you mean. Maybe this:
App Store - Bluetooth FileShare
If you want to make an Pad like the iPod, you can make one final backup of the iPod and then restore the iPad from the backup of the iPad. If you do this via iTunes vice iCloud), all the synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library.

HT201269 How can I unlock the password of my iPod touch without having to lose data?

How can I unlock the password of my iPod touch without having to lose data?
You see, I'm trying to transfer the data from my iPod touch to my iPhone and I can't unlock the password of my iPod because it's cracked and I can't use the iPod at all. And the only way to unlock my iPod is by getting rid of everything from my iPod and I don't want that. What should I do? Can anyone help me on this?

- Can you create a backup of the iPod by connecting the iPod to the computer and then click on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up? If so do that than then restore the iPhone from that backup with all apps already in the iTunes library. The iOS on the iPhone has to be greater than or equal to that of the iPod.
- Otherwise you are out of luck.

I've heard of iPhones being cloud locked but you can still use them as a regular iPod touch, that's what my sister does at least. But what happens if an iPod is like that?

I was looking at this iPod 5 on Ebay earlier and in the description it said iCloud locked. I've heard of iPhones being cloud locked but you can still use them as a regular iPod touch, that's what my sister does. But what does it mean when an iPod is cloud locked? Can I not do certain things? I would just like to know this in case I decide to buy. Thanks.
