Gifting the iPod Touch to clients... don't want to loose pictures

We have purchased about 15 iPod touches that we would like to give to clients as gifts for the holidays. We would like to pre-load the touch with pictures from each client's projects that we have worked on (10-15 pics per client per iPod) and maybe pre-set the background with a company logo that says happy holidays and thanks for your business.
I haven't started pre-loading any of the iPods yet just to make sure I don't mess something up. Is it possible to load these pictures and maybe the background on the touch before giving it as a gift? Well... I'm sure that is possible... but what I'm thinking about is... we would probably have to associate each with our iTunes first (giving it a name, uploading the pics, etc...) before giving it to the client. Once the client connects it to their iTunes... it is probably going to erase all of the photos that we put on it... right? Is there a way to do what we are wanting to do without them loosing the photos when they first hook it up? They always have the option of removing them at their own leisure but we think it would be great to have their project photos on their when they first open it w/ the ability to keep those photos on their if they want.
Thanks for your help,
-Brock

That might be an ok (or only) alternative. I was hoping to make it as seamless and easy as possible on our clients... but I guess if worse comes to worse we could brand up a CD with both the pictures and then also instructions on how to get their project photos BACK on the Touch after iTunes has deleted it after the first sync.

I am stuck iwth the restore image on the ipod touch I tried ireb and tiny umbrella without success, i do not wish to lose all the pictures and videos what can I do?

Your iPod encountered an error and must be restore.
To get back photos and videos restore:
- Restore from backup
- If you used PhotoStream then try getting photos ony from your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
- Maybe via How to perform iPad recovery for photos, videos

General Questions about the iPod Touch

Hello,
I'm considering buying a new iPod touch after the Keynote Yesterday. I have a few questions though that I'm on the fence about:
1. Does the iPod Touch Mail Client Sync with the OSX Mail Client. Does it sync in Tiger? Does it sync in Leopard? Or does it only sync via .Mac
2. Does the Calendar Program allow you to create new events on the calendar like an iPhone, or can you only view existing events like on the iPod. What about the Address Book?
3. When the Wifi is not connected can you view your email messages?
4. When the SDK kit is released in February, will I be able to purchase developer's apps for the iPod Touch, or will they be exclusive to the iPhone?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

1. The mail client works with POP or IMAP, it does not "sync" with the OSX Mail app that I am aware of however if you are using OSX Mail to access a POP or IMAP account they can be configured to work together.
2. You can add events to the calendar as well as contacts to the address book directly
3. You can view emails w/o WiFi if you have configured Mail to do so
4. I don't have an official answer for this one, but I would assume the answer is yes.
Hope that helps, all of this information is avaliable on the iPod Touch product pages.

ITunes not showing songs that are on the iPod Touch

I have an iPod Touch 4th Generation.
I use iTunes 11.0.
I usually connect my iPod Touch to iTunes and play songs from there because I do not put songs in my itunes library.
I was doing this as usual and today when I connected my iPod Touch to iTunes, songs did not show up on the music tab of "On This iPod".
Just the previous day, I opened iTunes and there were all my songs.
Today, iTunes does not show any of my downloaded songs that were not bought from the iTunes Store.
The iTunes Capacity Bar shows that I have songs on my iPod Touch.
But when clicking on the iPod and going under the music tab in "On This iPod", there is no music other than a few songs, which were purchased from the iTunes Store itself.
I also tried third party software just today to check if I can get the songs off my iPod.
I tried using SharePod and it did not detect any songs, not even the purchased songs from iTunes.
There are songs on the iPod Touch only. I can play all the songs from the iPod Touch just fine.
They are simply just not showing up on iTunes.
How do I get iTunes to show the songs on my iPod Touch? The capacity bar says there are songs.
I tried SharePod a few times long before this happened, and it showed the songs on the iPod Touch.
I don't understand why all of a sudden the songs all disappeared from iTunes itself only.
(I would say this is similar to other issues where iTunes DOES show songs while the iPod itself DOES NOT. Mine is the opposite.)
Thank you for the help in advance.

I tried backing up the iPod Touch.
Now all the songs on the iPod Touch (except for the purchased ones) are turned to blank names and are skipped.
There is no name for each song or artwork, they all are called 'unknown'.
Only the purchased songs are left unharmed. Everything else is corrupted now.

SOLUTION: Some Music Won't Play After Upgrading Your iPhone To iOS7
Red square in red circle cannot play songs
My iPod isn't playing certain songs. Help?

Controlling the iPod Touch

Hi all!
There is something I would LOVE to be able to do, is leaving my iPod Touch in my pocket while being able to control it. I saw a couple of solutions and I'd like to know what you guys think about it.
1) Timex iControl Watch for iPod
I love the concept (and I also need a new watch lol) but I'm afraid it stops working after a few months for whatever reason.
2) iPod Radio Remote
I know it says it's not working with the iPod Touch (and I don't care about the FM Radio) but my Sony iPod Boombox said it's not working on the Touch neither and it actually works, so is it working even though it's not supported by Apple?
3) Any other suggestions?
Thanks for your answers

Sorry, but the radio remote doesn't work at all with the iPod Touch. A message appears on the screen telling you the accessory is not supported, and it doesn't do anything. I believe the issue may be that it streams digital audio from the iPod and has its own DA converter, which would be necessary to have within the remote itself, as the FM signal decodes (demodulates, technically) directly to an analog audio signal. And of course, the iPod dock connector can only send or receive digital data.
My point being that it's not just a simple control device, and it might be fairly complicated to get it working with the different hardware and OS on the iPhone/iPT. But still. I don't even care about the radio feature. I just want a remote. And I wish it had been a priority to Apple to at least make the control functions work, but I don't think it's Apple's style to make something "sort of" work. They are either not going to do it at all, or it's way down a long list of other stuff that's more important for the iPhone platform right now. Considering it still lacks copy and paste in 2.0, I guess I can understand that.

Is there some way to copy a playlist from an IPOD nano to the IPOD touch.

Is there some way to copy a playlist from an IPOD nano to the IPOD Touch? Thanks

I don't have the playlist in ITunes but found that I could use the copy and paste feature to copy the playlist from one device to the other. Thanks

IPhoto opens even when the iPod Touch is not connected

I came across discussions on the iPod Touch and issues with iPhoto and am hoping that a solution can be found for my problem.
My 13 year old step-son visited over the Christmas/New Year and was plugging his iPod Touch into and out of our Mac laptop. In fact, we believe that he was doing the very same thing described in this reply regarding: "...the result of downloading a photo in Safari on the iPod (or taking a screen shot). The file is stored locally on the device, however when it is connected to your computer, iPhoto will open thinking that the iPod is a digital camera/memory card..."
We noticed that iPhoto and not iTunes opened whenever he plugged in the iPod Touch and told him not to download any pictures onto the Mac. We are not sure if iTunes ever opened. Well, he's gone now and every time we turn on the laptop now, iPhoto automatically opens up even though there are no devices connected to the laptop.
We are also experiencing video distortion of the computer screen when waking it from sleep. To get the computer to work again, we have to force shut down by holding down the power button. So, basically, we now cannot allow the computer to go to sleep! We believe that this has something to do with the iPod Touch having been used on our laptop.
During an entire day of trying to figure out what could be wrong with the computer (and we are not avid computer users!) we found that in the System Preferences - desktop and screen savers module, the entire iPhoto library is there along with the standard screen savers. We are not sure if this is supposed to be? We tried deleting the library of pictures in the screen savers module but were unsuccessful.
All was fine before and now we're having no end of troubles since the departure of our little one and his iPod Touch! Help!!!

Ok, thanks so much

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

When does the iPod touch 5th generation come out?

I am saving up for the iPod touch 5th generation. I want to know when it comes out so I can pre-order if I need to. I know there are a ton of other questions exactly like this one online every where. But please answer this one, with thought.

You can't preorder anymore, if you want more accurate and up to date news on the release date info, look at my discussion : https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4384395?tstart=0

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.

Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account. Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices. You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.
