How can I get my new IPOD Touch to turn on?

Just bought the latest IPOD Touch on Amazon.com. I charged the battery, but all I get when I hit the square power button is a picture of the ethernet cable and the ITunes symbol. I cannot get the IPOD to do anything else. What gives? Did I get a lemon?

Before you can use any of the iPod touch features, you must use iTunes to set up iPod touch. Plug it into a USB 2.0 port on your iMac (not a keyboard port) and iTunes should start and lead you through the process.
Look at the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf and read Chapter 1.

  • How can i get a new ipod touch for free? i broke the screen of my old one

         i recenly was going on an interview and i dropped my ipod touch and cracked the screen
    . what can i do? my mom broke her ipad, the one with the camera. and she got a new one!
    will apple do the same thing for me?

    You can take your iPod to an Apple Store and ask, but they are not obligated to replace your iPod when you caused damage via an accident. Most likely you'll need to pay for the replacement.
    Good luck.

  • How can i get a new iPod touch from the warranty it has if i lost it?

    i have lost my ipod touch 5g, but i do have warranty. i just dont know how to do it online.

    You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa  I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

  • How can I get my new ipod touch to work?

    I have been trying to get the ipod touch (4th gen.) to work.  I tried loading itunes v. 10.5 on my windows 7 but I kept getting an error message.  After searching for answers, I found someone that told me to use v. 9.0 of itunes 64.  I finally got itunes to work and registered my ipod.  Later, I tried to upgrade to v. 10.5 but neither itunes nor quicktime would work right, so I ended up reinstalling the v. 9.0.  The problem is that the computer shows the ipod under devices, but it is not coming up in the itunes menu under devices.  When I ran the diagnostics (under help) it is telling me that there is no ipod.  Is this a defective device?  When I turn it on the only thing I get is the apple symbol.  I'm totally confused.

    You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right?  If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    or
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • How can i sync my new ipod touch to a mac ibook

    I have an i new ipod touch and have a mac ibook g4 with an operating system of 10.4.11 and for some reason it won't let me sync my new ipod touch to my itunes. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Yo need to upgrade OSX to 10.5.8. The system requirements for the new 4G iPod Tough are:
    System requirements
    USB 2.0
    iTunes 10.1 or later6
    Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
    PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
    Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply.
    You can get it on eBay, maybe Craig's list and from the Apple store. However, it is not offered in the on-line Apple store so you will have to call. The price is $129.

  • How can I sync my new ipod touch with my itunes 9.2.1 itunes

    Ok I have got a mac mini running  os 10.4.11 at 1.25ghz 1 gb and have a new 4th gen ipod touch I can't sync it to my itunes 9.2.1 please tell me I can get this to work without paying any more out!!!

    Thanks Jim I thought I might have to upgrade software but to be honest I was looking at investing in a new Mac in the summer but wanted a cheap fix to get my thousands of tunes that i have bought from Itunes onto my new ipod touch Ironically I have a samsung Galaxy s2 I use for work which interfaces with my mac no problem... I find it very odd apple are treating there own customers in this way making me upgrade to interface with their own products!! Which after having macs for the last 20 years i am doubting my decision to carry on with my loyalty to a brand that is doing this!!
    Sorry not your problem.. thanks for the advise.

  • How do I get a new iPod Touch to have the same music setup as my old one?

    I have all the songs on my ipod touch in my itunes library, but there are also a lot of other songs I don't want, so I can't just sync the new ipod. I could drag them all individually but that would take hours.
    I was thinking I could get an ipod-to-itunes music program, and then just do my whole ipod, then transfer all of those songs to my new ipod, then delete the songs I had imported to itunes. But that's expensive.

    The post by Zevoneer will offer some suggestions on how to do this:

  • How do I get my new iPod Touch (4th gen) to authorize for old purchases?

    Recently, I upgraded to the iPod Touch 4th generation model. Unfortunately, even though I have authorized my PC for the new device repeatedly, old purchases cannot be synced. I continue to get the error message that I am not authorized on the computer. My Apple ID and password have not changed and now I am out hundreds of dollars in songs and movies I simply cannot load to the new iPod. Any suggestions in resolving this issue?

    You are following the instructions here, right?

    This may help.

    I don't believe that's correct. The 3rd gen Touch cannot run iOS 6.

  • How do I get my new iPod Touch 64 Gb to play music through my stereo system

    As a newbie owner of an iPod Touch 64GB I am trying to figure out how to get music on my Touch to play through my home stereo system. Is there a way to use the output from the Touch via the earphone plug to input to a stereo pre-amplifier to play my music.
    Thanks for your help in advance.
    PS I realize that I could purchase an Airport Express base station and do it wirelessly.
