    When I try to download anything from iTunes or the App Store on my iPod Touch, my sister's Apple ID pops up instead of mine. How can I get my iPod Touch to display my Apple ID and ask for my password rather than display my sister's Apple ID?

    You can try to tell the iPod to use yours:
    1. Tap Settings
    2. Navigate to "iTunes & App Store"
    3. Tap Apple ID:
    4. Tap "Sign Out"
    5. Sign in to your account.

    How can you get your iPod touch open when you forgot the password and its disabled and not connected to the Internet Connection and you don't want to reset it.

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    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.

  • How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or to charge?

    How can I get my ipod touch to turn on or charge?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • How can I get my ipod to work with itunes?

    When I connect my ipod classic into my new computer it seems that itunes does not recognize it. How can I get my ipod to work with itunes? I'm afraid to disconnect my ipod because the display is saying Do Not Disconnect.

    1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
    2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
    3. Check the USB cable
    4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
    5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
    6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
    7. Check for third-party software conflicts.

  • How can I get my Ipod Touch 2 replaced?

    Recently, I found out that my Ipod Touch 2 has an accelerometer issue.
    When I put it on a flat surface, it shows up there is 20 degree incline(I use an app named iHandy Level to find that). Yes, I can calibrate it, but when I did so, and turn it 180 degree, it shows up that 20 degree incline again. As a computer engineer myself, I know it's a hardware fault. And I notice some other Iphone/Ipod Touch user have the same issue and had their Iphone/Ipod Touch replaced.
    I tried to find out how can I get it replaced at www.apple.com/support, but I didn't find anything helpful. Since I live in a small city, there is no apple retail store here. I need to drive 4 hours to reach the nearest one. And I bought it 6 months ago, so they don't provide complimentary phone support to me.
    Is there any chance that I needn't to drive so far to get my Ipod Touch replaced?
    Since I am not a naticve English speaker, maybe there is some information helpful but I didn't find it?

    Hi,
    I tried to send it back to apple to get a replacement TWICE!!!
    And get nothing...
    They said:
    Our technicians have performed full diagnostic checks on your IPOD TOUCH (2ND GENERATION) and have been unable to reproduce the symptom(s) you reported when you requested the repair. As a result of our tests, we can confirm that your product meets Apple specifications for performance, usability, and functionality.
    I feel really bad, especially the second time...
    Hate apple...
    I will try again...

  • TS2771 How can i get my Ipod touch 4g to charge again??

    My Ipod Touch 4th Generation wont charge. It worked perfectly fine on saturday night, when i last plugged it in. I took my ipod off the charger in the morning, and then that night, it would not charge, and then it died. I've tried plugging it in all night and all day, no luck. I've tried plugging it into different plugs around my house, and using different cords, etc. , With no luck. How can i get it to work again????

  • How can i get my ipod touch in argentina?

    So,that is the question,where can i buy my ipod touch,and send me to argentina,sorry for my english,its so bad

    Actually, there is a very good store in my country (in terms of warranity, quality, reliability... And a few months ago my iPod Video sort of... died, and they exchanged it to a new one), but their price is really high. I save almost 200$ if I buy it through the internet... so I kinda... well, don't know what to do
    However, there is an official representation of Apple in Israel, so I'll contact them and ask about how the warranity will work if I order an iPod from abroad. By now it's weekend down here so I'm gonna have to wait for the day after tomorrow.
    Thanks for caring
    Oh, and one thing I wanted to ask you:
    Do you know if does a invoice come with the iPod when I order it so I can show it to them in case I need the warranity?

  • HT5622 I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop.  I have then changed it on my iPod Touch in settings. When I try to update my apps on the ipod touch it keeps throwing up the old appleID.  How can I get the iPod Touch to use the new ID?

    I have changed my appleID and password through my laptop. I have then changed them in my iPod touch settings in "iTunes & App stores" When I try to update my apps it fails because it wishes to continue to use the previous ID.  What do I have to do to make it accept the new ID?

    Also
    If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • How can I get my iPod Touch out of Recovery?

    I've had my iPod Touch 4G for almost five months now. Since my laptop is very slow, I just buy all of my music and apps on my iPod. I actually take the time to transfer everything about once a month. Yesterday I was going to transfer my purchased items from iPod to computer, since I skipped transferring for two months. While I let my computer start up, I checked Facebook on my iPod. Since I had just changed my password Facebook said it was logging me out, but it was taking a bit longer than usual. I decided just to delete and re-download the app. While it was re-downloading, I checked the weather and my whole iPod froze. I clicked the home button multiple times, with no success, so I held the sleep/wake button and home button until the Apple icon showed (that's what I normally do when it freezes). However, the icon stayed on for five minutes. The screen then flashed white, black, and the Apple icon came back on. About a minute later, the screen showed "Connect to iTunes". I connected it, and iTunes said it was in recovery mode and I would have to restore it. It makes me sick to know that I was just about to transfer all of my purchases/photos to my computer, but now everything is gone. Is there any way I can get out of recovery and save everything? Thanks in advance.

    Is there any way I can get out of recovery
    Sorry, but no.
    Most important word in computing. "Backup"...
    Check iTunes / Preferences - Devices. If you have a backup stored there, you may be in luck.
    Otherwise, it's a restore.

  • How can I get my ipod touch to properly sync all my songs, when it keeps stalling in different stages and hours later doesn't sync all the songs I checked?

    I can't seem to get all my songs and playlists that are checked to sync to my ipod touch. The ipod has been troublesome since the first round of updates. It was originally set on "itunes match", but it was dropping songs for some reason and since the wifi only operates when I'm in a place where wifi is available, I can't download the songs again while I'm on the road. I turned off itunes match and plugged it in to my computer to sync it that way, and it keeps stalling in different stages of the sync process. After hours and hours of being stuck, it "completes" without syncing any of my playlists that I checked.

    Try a low level reformat of the iPod's hard drive to possibly try and repair some of its damage. Use the instructions in this article to walk you through the process.
