Gave My old IPOD nano to someone - keeps asking for my ID

Is there a way to deregister the ipod so that he can manipulate via ITunes? He said when he plugs it in, that ITunes is asking for my account info. What does he have to do to get it working?

Unless you own the copyright to the music on the iPod you can't give him that music. Restore the iPod on the new machine and start over.

My iPod touch 4th gen keeps asking for my iCloud password and it won't backup to my iCloud anymore.

My iPod touch 4th gen 8gb started to ask me for my iCloud password multiple times even when I put the correct password multiple times. I also checked my iCloud on my iPod and said that the latest backup to iCloud is unknown and says that my iCloud storage details are currently unavailable. Try again later. My iphone 4 also backs up to my iCloud but works perfectly fine. I can't get my email anymore on my iPod either. This started like yesterday and was working fine for a long time.

What if you try after tuning off two-step verification?

HT201272 How to retrieve previous iphone backup from laptop to sync onto new iphone? Keeps asking for a passcode before it will restore the backup. No idea what the passcode is.

I backed up my previous iphone the other day in anticipation of it being replaced (wifi stayed grey non stop) and now I have my new phone and want to put all of my old data on but it keeps asking for a passcode before restoring the backup. I've put in what I thought it would be but get nowhere. How do I get the password or change it?

If your iPhone was passcode protected, check out the first section here.
Or it could be that the backup itself was encrypted in iTunes; that is discssued further down in this same article.

My friend game me her old ipod nano. How do I keep her music and sync it to my itunes accoutn?

My friend gave me her old ipod nano. How do I keep her music and sync it to my itunes account?

Don't try to change the songs. Connect the iPod, click on the name of it, go to the Summary page and Restore it as a new device.

Given old ipod but want to keep the songs

My old nano bit the dust and when my daughter got a new Ipod Touch this Christmas she gave me her old ipod nano....I want to keep some or all of her music and the music I have on my library...how do I do this??? Or am I able to do this?

You will not lose the songs that are in your iTunes account, it will sync them to your Nano. It will erase all the songs that are currently on the Nano as they are not in your library. If you change the settings on the Nano on her computer and set it up to manually manage your music you can then manually add the songs to her iPod without losing anything.
As I said earlier, and as you've restated, these are her songs and Apple does not provide a means on the iPod itself, or within iTunes to transfer the songs from the iPod to your computer (or to leave them on the iPod) due to music piracy reasons.
With that disclaimer you might want to use Google and look up Yamipod.

Itunes wont show my devices except my 6 year old ipod nano?

Iv tried reinstalling itunes, checking my drivers were up to date, buying a new usb cabel "from an apple store" and YES iv made sure my iphone/ipad is unlocked and hit trust this computer. i have an iphone 4s, iphone 4 and i also just bought an ipad air yesterday and that wont even show up in itunes!
after trying everything i could think of i found my old ipod nano and for some reason that shows up!
im running windows 8.1
i have the latest itunes
my laptop is an alienware 14.
can someone help me or do i just have to wait for the next itunes update to see if that works.

If it's an old enough nano, then it won't be using Apple Mobile Device Support to connect to iTunes. So, that suggests the problem may be with your Apple Mobile Device Support.
So let's try swapping your AMDS out.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
(If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
If the uninstall/reinstall goes through okay, do you now get recognition with your other devices?

I want to create a playlist on an old iPod Nano (I think it's from the second generation), but the computer it was originally linked to via iTunes died years ago. How can I make a playlist out of existing songs on the iPod?

Hello there,
I have an old iPod nano which I think is from the second generation (model number A1199 if that helps) with software at the latest version it can accept, 1.1.3. I wish to make a playlist out of the songs currently on the iPod, but I can't see any easy way to do that from the iPod itself. The next logical thought is to do it through iTunes, but the iTunes that was originally synced to the iPod died several years ago now, so I can't access that to make a playlist through (it's a very old iPod). I do have iTunes currently on this computer, but that's synced with my iPhone and stores different songs which I don't want to be mixed with those from the old iPod (due to the mostly nostalgic nature of the iPod songs). Is there any way I can either create a new playlist from the iPod itself, or through iTunes without having to sync? Also note that most of the songs on the old iPod were uploaded to iTunes from CDs and so aren't connected with any iTunes Login.
Thanks for any help you can give. Also, I sorta need to create this playlist ASAP so any advice you could give would be much appreciated

The old iTunes library was lost with the old PC. However, it all that music and content is still on your iPod there are many ways you can extract this content from the iPod and import it back into iTunes.
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the new PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

I had an old iPod nano with my files saved on it and was stolen. I cannot find my old account. I bought an iTouch and made the new account that was needed for it to function. I was wondering how i could find my old account and get all the content back.

I had an old iPod nano with my content saved on it and was stolen. As well, I can't find and access my old account that I had with it. I bought an iPod touch and made a new account so that I could use the iTouch. Anyone know how to find the old account and how to transfer data from the old one to the new account?

HT1363 My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes.

My old iPod Nano says to use iTunes to restore and I've followed all suggested help steps, but I can't get it into disk mode nor can I get it to show in my computer or in iTunes. I have the latest version of iTunes. Windows has all the most recent updates too. I can reset the iPod, but the message to Use iTunes to restore comes back and I am stuck.

Already tried another USB port, still nothing.
I don't have another PC to check, I only have one which is the one not working with my iPod.
It appears under my Computer, just not under iTunes. Plus, the iPod classic troubleshooting assistant doesn't work because I can't restore since it can't come up onto my iTunes! Even my iPod says "Use iTunes to Restore" once in a while, but I plug it in & I'm not able to restore it since it won't come up under iTunes.
Please help
