Can you update itunes from what is on your ipod touch if they wont sync up?

I have been trying for months to get my ipod and my itunes on the same page.  I have things on my pod that my itunes account say cant be found and things on my itunes Ive downloaded that wont transfer to my pod.  The answers I have gotten are to update itunes using an old back up which will mean Ill lose a good bit of what I have on itunes.  Is there not a way to update itunes from the ipod iteself?  Or am I being stupid here?

    Can you transfer music from the nano to the ipod touch? how?

    After connecting your Ipod Touch to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod (Ipod Nano) from the File menu.
    Or you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your Ipod Touch in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Hope that helps you out.

    Upgrade to the newest version of iTunes first to see if that helps.

  • HT204022 how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

    how can you steam photos from i photos of your mac to apple tv

    I'm having this problem too - although it's a recent issue as I was previously able to view all my iPhoto library albums via Apple TV.  Currently I can only get my Photo Stream (presumably via iCloud).
    When I go into Advanced within iTunes Preferences, I can't see any options for photos - what do I need to do?
    Many thanks

    Pretty sure there never was iTunes 4.2.1 and if there was, it did not work with the iPod touch (any version).
    Do you mean iOS 4.2.1?
    new version doesn't sync with my ipod :/

  • Can you restore an already setup iPhone with an iPod touch back up

    I got my iphone 4s and got it set up at the sprint store. Now i want all my app data (level, scores, ect.) on it and the only way ive found to do that is to restore it and use the back up from my ipod touch. If i did that would i have to go back to sprint and get it re-setup on to my account or would it keep that i had set it up on my account

    Makes no difference.
    If you want or need to restore your iPhone with iTunes, the current iOS version will be reinstalled.
    If you want to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to your iPhone, you must restore your iPhone with iTunes and when prompted, select restore from the backup for your iPod Touch as already provided.
    If there was another way, I would provide it.

  • HT4972 Can you download OS 5 on an early edition iPod Touch?

    Can you download OS 5 on an early edition iPod Touch?
    Does anyone know an app similar to Voice Thread that does not cost?

    iOS 5 is only compatible with a 3G or 4G iPod Touch. If you have a 2G or 1G iPod Touch, you are out of luck.  See this article to help you identify what generation your iPod Touch is if necessary.

    I do not have any suggestions for alternative to Voice Thread.

    Can I transfer movies from my MacBook to my iPod Touch 5th gen?

    Yes. Import them into the iTunes library, converting them to MPEG-4 first if needed, and sync the iPod touch.

    No since you can only sync with one computer.
