Help with Ipod touch + new computer

I've got a new computer, but havent connected my ipod touch as I'm scared it might delete everything on my ipod. I don't have too many music tracks and they are all on cd anyway so I can add the music to the new computer, no problem there.
But what about the apps on the ipod touch. Do I have to reinstall all of them again?

Apps can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store

    How do i sync all music with ipod on new computer

    Connect the iPod and sync with iTunes the same way that you sync any iDevice with iTunes. If you are trying to transfer the music on the iPod into iTunes on the computer - connect the iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPod name under the devices headings and select transfer purchases. That will transfer the purchase songs on your iPod into your iTunes library.
    If you provide a few more details of what you actually are trying to do, it would be a little easier to provide you with the help that you seek.

  • Need help with ipod touch!! I am charging my ipod to my computer but it only charges for 3 seconds and then it doesn't for 5 seconds and a pattern continues...Help!!

    the usb charger is new i just bought it 2 weeks ago and the pattern keeps happening
    the longest it has charged is 1 minute!!

    See the not-charging topic of:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    Have you tried another cable?
    Another charging source? Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
    Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.

  • Help with iPod Touch in recovery mode

    I am trying to help my sister with her daughter's iPod touch. The end goal is to update to iOS6. It is a fourth gen iPod Touch. I plugged it into iTunes (iPod was still iOS V4.something or other) and it said there was an update availalbe. I clicked Download and Update. Got a message about the update deleting all the apps since this iPod had been synced with another computer (my sister has a new computer since she last synced the iPod -- the old computer is no longer available). I cancelled out of the update and did a transfer purchases and then backed up the iPod. I then started the iOS 6 update again. It downloaded the update and then it said "backup up iPod." At that point I left so I don't know what happened after that but it is now saying that iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. My question is this: if we let it do the restore (which is the only option), will I be able to go back into iTunes and restore from the backup that I took MANUALLY (not the backup that it did as part of the iOS 6 update)?
    Thanks.
    Lisa

    Yes, you will be able to restore from the backup you previously made. See:
    iOS: How to back up

  • Help with iPod Touch restore

    My computer shut down while updating my iPod touch to iOS 4.3.2 and now I'm trying to restore my iPod with the backup but my computer doesn't have enough memory space and iTunes says the backup could not be saved on the disc (I think iTunes compresses the backup). Is there anyway I could save/extract it to my portable hard drive? Any other suggestions on how to restore the to my iPod without using 6+ GB of space? Also, what does restoring from backup restore? Thanks in advance.
    *Edit: Sorry, I'm using PC. How do you move this to Syncing your iPod touch to a PC?

    Welcome to the discussions,
    if your PC shut down during the update, the backup created by iTunes might be damaged. Try to delete the latest backup in the list in iTunes/Preferences/Devices. If you have more than one backup listed, copy the whole backup folder to an external HD or USB drive, in case you might need the data again.
    The backup folder is located here: Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    You might also try to delete the ipod software file located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes\iPhone Software Updates, to make iTunes download a new copy when you connect in recovery mode. Maybe the file stored on your PC is damaged as well due to the shut down.
    Recovery mode is covered here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • HT201210 help with iPod touch that won't restore

    trying to restore a not-so-new iPod Touch that is frozen.  When I do this in iTunes I get an error message that says it can't restore because "device isn't eligible for the requested build".  Anything else I can do?

    This device is not eligible for the requested build (Also sometimes displayed as an "error 3194")
    Update to the latest version of iTunes. Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard) users may need to download iTunes 10.6.3.
    Third-party security software or router security settings can also cause this issue. To resolve this, followTroubleshooting security software issues.
    Downgrading to a previous version of iOS is not supported. If you have installed software to performunauthorized modifications to your iOS device, that software may have redirected connections to the update server (gs.apple.com) within the Hosts file. Uninstall the unauthorized modification software from the computer.
    Edit out the "gs.apple.com" redirect from your hosts file, and then restart the computer for the host file changes to take affect. For steps to edit the Hosts file and allow iTunes to communicate with the update server, see iTunes: Troubleshooting iTunes Store on your computer, iPhone, iPad, or iPod—follow steps under the heading Blocked by configuration (Mac OS X / Windows) > Rebuild network information > The hosts file may also be blocking the iTunes Store. If you do not uninstall the unauthorized modification software prior to editing the hosts file, that software may automatically modify the hosts file again on restart.
    Avoid using an older or modified .ipsw file. Try moving the current .ipsw file (see Advanced Steps > Rename, move, or delete the iOS software file (.ipsw) below for file locations), or try restoring in a new user to ensure that iTunes downloads a new .ipsw.

    i had an ipod classic 32 recently updated to an ipod touch. i have windows xp media center. i tunes has over 1300 songs. initially tried to sync touch only would sync about 100 songs or so. then would get an error 50 "could be sync because of unknown error 50". shut down itunes tried again, got maybe another 50 songs then unknown error 50 shows up. now it will show up only on a few songs and then stops all together. tried to sync new songs to classic and worked fine. tried touch again same thing, error 50. it actually sync video (i only have one on there) and podcasts fine and it actually synce playlists but obviously are not complete because so many songs are not there but the names of the playlist appear on the touch. went to ipod store and they gave me another (still under warranty). same thing. sync few songs, get error 50 and stops. reinstalled itunes and reset touch. still not working. tried to manually sync was able to sync about 500 songs before i got to error 50 and then it stopped again. i have the most updated itunes and the most updated ipod touch software. does anyone know what else this might be? i am walking around with two 32 gb ipods just to hear my music. i bought the touch to upgrade but i feel like my classic is just better. it has all my music on it.

    I am havving exactly the same problem, but I have both with my Ipod Touch and my Ipod classic. I neeed help.

  • Old iPod Touch, New Computer,

    The last time I synced my 1st Generation iPod Touch was back in December. Since then, my Mac Mini has failed (hard drive wore out due to its age). I have since received a new MacBook Pro for college, and my iTunes library now holds all the media my Mac Mini held. Now here's the problem: I have since made several downloads on my iPod touch both before and after my Mac Mini failed. Upon syncing an older iPod, I was told I would need to erase its content before I can sync the new library. What I want to know is that when I sync my iPod Touch, will the content I've downloaded since its last sync be erased, or will it be picked up by my MacBook before it wipes the data?

    Without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
    This will move the itunes purchases to the computer.

  • Help with ipod touch and iphone receiving text messages

    i just bought ipod touch for my daughter for christmas and me and my husband have the iphone 4 when my daughter texts me with imessage my husband gets them all and see our conversation and when me and my husband text back and forth through the iphones she get them too.Help I need to get this fix I don't want my daughter to keep getting my messages.

    Each iDevice needs to have one unique messaging email address. One the iPod go to Settings>Messagers>Receive At and ann another, unique messaging email address and delete the other on.  I am also assuming that on the iPhone you alos use one email messaging address.  You need to also make thos unique.

  • Need help with my iTunes-new computer-can't access my music

    We just got a new computer and I transferred all of my songs from the old to the new and now when I try to access them in iTunes I get an error message that "it cannot be used because the original file cannot be located" Do I have to put in the DVD with all of the files on it in order to use any of my song? I thought that I saved them to my hard drive, but who knows....HELP!!! pLEase!!!

    You haven't told us enough about what you did.
    You need to explain exactly how you did your transfer.
    If you don't care about your ratings and play counts and your really did copy your files across, there is a simple way of getting going again.
    With iTunes closed drag iTunes Library.itl and iTunes Music Library.itl out of the iTunes folder to the desk top.
    Start iTunes and you will have an empty library. Now simply add the folder with your music files in it - normally iTunes Music - to iTunes with File>Add folder to library.
    If you didn't copy your files across, try putting the DVD in the drive and opening iTunes - can iTunes find your files now. If so it is a sign you added the files to your library without copying them to your internal HD.

  • Need help with Ipod touch

    Why won't all my music tracks (950) copy from Itunes library to my Ipod Touch 5th generation?

    Add items from your computer to your iTunes library
    Do either of the following:
    Drag a file or folder from the desktop to the iTunes window.If you add a folder, all the files it contains are added to your library.
    In iTunes, choose File > Add to Library, locate a file or folder, and click Open.
    By default, adding items to your iTunes library places a pointer to each file in the iTunes folder; the original file remains in the current location. For information about copying files to the iTunes folder instead of creating pointers to them, see Change where your iTunes files are stored. If the file is an unprotected WMA file and you have Windows Media Player Series 9 or later installed, iTunes makes a copy of the file and adds it to your iTunes library. The original WMA file remains unchanged. You can’t add protected WMA files or protected WMV files to iTunes.

  • HT204387 Help with ipod touch and bluetooth headphones

    Hi
    I have an iPod Touch (5th gen) and I'm trying to connect my Bluetooth Headphones but my iPod can't find them.  I can connect them with my iPad no problem, but not my iPod.
    There's nothing on the headphones that I can change I don't think.
    Any suggestions??!
    Thanks

    - Reset the headphones. Sometimes you have to do that to pair to another device. How yo do that depends upon the headphones
    - On the iPod
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

  • Help with Aperture on new computer

    I have bought Aperture a long time ago (version 1). When updated to new version I have bought that too. Had Aperture version 3 on my old iMac and transferred that to my new iMac. When I start Aperture it ask for serialnumber. I have serialnumber from the upgrade but that doesnot seems to work. I have wiped out everthing on my old computer and sold it, so I cannot check for any other serialnumber.
    I tried to buy Aperture again, but it says "Already installed" and I did not get any new serial numer that way.
    What to do?

    After reinstalling Aperture on a new Mac you need to enter all serial numbers, beginning with the first version you bought, then the upgrade serial numbers. If you no longer have the Aperture 1 and 2 serial numbers, contact Apple for a replacement serial number.
    See this support article: Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers
    If you want to buy Aperture again, but cannot, because it is already installed, deinstall it, then try to buy from the AppStore, but with a proof of purchase Apple should provide you with a replacement serial number.
    Regards
    Léonie
