Do i have to have either a 2.0 or later software for ipod touch to work?

I just bought my Ipod Touch(first gen) and shouldn't it come with a 2.0 software? When i checked its software model it said 1.2 does that mean someone already used this product? or i just have to buy the new 2.2 software update? Do you have to have 2.0 software or later to put music onto the ipod? cause everytime i try to send over the music it won't appear on the ipod music's list but in the itunes library.

dont worry, its not stupid. here to help!
the ipod touch 2.2 update will cost 6 pounds or 10 dollars.
to update, connect your ipod to itunes, and click check for updates on your ipod's page (should open when you connect), it should say that there is an update avaliable.
you will pay once for the update
you can also click this link (after plugging in your ipod)

  • I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car.  my car is a 2013 mercedes E350.  Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

    I have an older ipod...ever since I updated the itunes software my ipod no longer works in my car.  my car is a 2013 mercedes E350.  Is there a way to go back to an older version of the itunes software?

    If it's an older iPod, its software is not being updated by Apple.  So, I don't see how updating iTunes would make the iPod not work with the car's audio system, since iTunes just updates the song files (not how the iPod operates).
    Does the iPod work by itself (play songs), when disconnected from the computer and iTunes?

  • Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?

    If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
    IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
    With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
    But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person

    iTunes never displays the iPod in the left pane?
    iTunes is shipped with a "helper application" called the "iPod Service" that runs and is used by iTunes to communicate with the iPod device. This service may be disabled.
    If your system is Microsoft Windows XP and you are logged in as an Administrator:
    1. Quit iTunes and, if your iPod is currently connected to your computer, safely remove it using the system tray application to manage removable devices.
    2. Right click on "My Computer"
    3. Select "Manage"
    4. In the "Computer Management" window, left pane (tree view), follow this path:
    +Computer Management (local) > Services and Applications > Services+.
    5. In the right pane, scroll down to "iPod Service" and double click it.
    6. If the service is listed as "Disabled" and "Stopped," change to "Manual" and "Start" it. ("Manual" will cause it to start when iTunes starts and "Start" starts the service right now.)
    7. Close "Computer Management"
    8. Restart iTunes and wait for it to completely come up.
    9. Reconnect your iPod.

  • I have an iphone 4 and i just bought an ipod touch 5th gen.  I need to sync everything from my iphone 4 to my new ipod touch.  Please read description beloew for further.

    I have an iphone 4 16 gb and got an ipod touch 64 gb because i needed more momory.  i need to sycn everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th gen i just bought.  i just downloaded the latest version of itunes as well.  To be honest, the newest version of itunes is hard to use and not as user friendly in my opinion - or i may not know how to use it yet.  Anyways, i tried to backup my iphone to itunes and then restore my new ipod from the backup of the iphone 4, but it only backed up phoyos, contacts, and two other things (games was not one of them).  Then when I restored my ipod, that is all that downloaded onto the ipod as well.  I would really appreciate if someone would be able to provide me with detailed instructions as to how to be able to download everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th generation.  Thanks in advance!

    Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

  • I have forgotten my password for iPod Touch 4G and it is now disabled. I tried connecting to iTunes but i haven't synced before and i need to enter the password before i can back it up so i can restore it. I don't want to lose pictures so please help!

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. That is how it works
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    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.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • My new iPod touch is getting really warm while I use it. Is it normal? I mean, I have silicone cover, maybe it's the reason for iPod being so HOT?... How do you think, is it too important to have a cover on the iPod? How about screen protector? :S

    Going through the feedback and support pages will be a waste of your time. Apple won't respond to feedback, and support can't do anything regarding product suggestions, particularly not from a company with an existing product they wish to sell. The only attention you might get from Apple would be possible interest in selling your product through the Apple Stores, and I don't know how Apple chooses the third-party products they sell. All I could suggest would be writing to Apple's corporate headquarters:
    Apple
    1 Infinite Loop
    Cupertino, CA 95014
    with perhaps "Attention: Retail Sales Division" and telling them about your product and your interest in it being sold through the Apple Stores.
    Regards.

  • HT1386 I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message that says "All existing apps and data will be replaced."  Does this mean progress in the games will be lost?

    I have a new computer and need to sync my iPod touch.  I get a message telling me that all existing apps and their data will be replaced with apps from this iTunes library.  Does that mean I lose all game progress?

    Yes.
    What you need to do is Transfer the iTunes Library from your Old computer to your New computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
    Backup iTunes to an External Drive
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    An Added Bonus is that you will have a Backup of iTunes.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
    If your iPod is defective and not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

  • HT201263 I have tried this several times but cannot switch the ipod touch back on - but every time I connect it to itunes it says that is in recovery mode stil.  What am I doing wrong?

    I have tried several times to unlock my daughter's ipod touch by following the instructions, but so far I cannot turn the ipod back on.  Everytime it seems to be finished updating I unplug it and it again says that the ipod is disabled and gives me the prompt to start again.  Can someone help please?  Am I doing something wrong?

    - Try DFU mode and restore:
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    Next try the manual install as described here:
    iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
    After yo successfully download the file, plae the iPod in recovery mode and try a restore.
    It sounds like the file is not fully downloaded before the recoverymode expires on the iPod.
