How do I get an old iPod touch backup onto a new iPod touch?

My daughter dropped her iPod touch 32GB and shattered the screen. We replaced it today, and I am trying to restore the last iPod touch backup from my iTunes account. It is about one week old. When I first connected the NEW iPod touch it gave me an option to restore, but then prompted me that the IOS was out of date and I had to first update the IOS then restore.  Exact message:
The backup of "NAME iPod" is cannot be restored to this iPod because the software on the iPod is too old.  To restore this iPod from the backup, you must first set up the iPod as new and restore the software to its latest version.
So I chose NEW, and then it seemed to configure it.  It is IOS 5.1.1.  But all to the "base" system. How now do I restore the apps, music, etc from the last backup
I named this new iPod the exact same.

To restore from backup see:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
The backup does not included synced media like apps and music. you can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
The apps have to be in the iTunes library before you restore from backup otherwise there is no place for the app date to be restored to.

  • HT5624 I don't want Icloud.  I believe it drains the battery of my phone.  How do I get the old operating system back on my new iphone 4G?

    I just got a new upgrade iphone from a 3G to 4G.  My son updated the software with Icloud.  I do not like it, it drains my battery.  How do I get the old operating system back (without icloud).  Also, I don't know how to close an APP anymore and I think that could be draining my battery as well.  It doesn't work the same way when I doubled click and then touch the APP it doesn't give me a dash to close it up again.

    Apple does not support downgrading the iOS.
    As for icloud, go to   Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.
    As for battery drain... 
    Look through this...

    Also, Settings>General>Background App Refresh:   turn off apps you don't want refreshing data - this can preserve battery life.
    Also try a reboot:  press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon is displayed, then let go.

  • Can I put my old iPod info/apps onto a new iPod?

    Hi.
    I'm planning to return my IPod Touch and get a new one because of some charging problems in the existing one. I don't want to lose any apps that I downloaded from the App Store. My question: when I connect the new iPod to my computer, will it sync all my data (including purchased and free apps) onto my new iPod?
    Also, before I return the "old" iPod, I want to eliminate all my personal data from it. Do I do this by using iTunes to "Restore" the settings?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can create a backup of your iPod touch in iTunes, just right click the iPod and choose backup. More detailed information about backups here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    You can download apps again with no additional charge.
    You can completely wipe all data from the iPod by going to Settings> General> Reset> Erase all Content and Settings> Erase iPod.

  • Hi i have a new computer how do i get my back up i tunes onto the new computer ?

    i have a new computer how do i get my back up music on to the new computer

    Backup to what? If you have the old computer and don't have a backup then I suggest doing so, not just for this situation but it's a good idea in general to have important data backed up.

  • How do i get the music on my phone onto a new itunes account

    I need help getting the songs on my phone onto my new computer and onto itunes

    If they were purchased from the iTunes Store, File>Transfer Purchases in iTunes. If they were not, then you can't. Media sync is one way. Computer>iPhone.
    Why don't you just transfer your media library from your old computer to the new one?

  • How do I restore a broken iPhone's backup onto my new one?

    Hi,
    My iPhone 4s recently stopped working (not the phone itself, just he screen) so I cannot get into it to set up an icloud backup or whatever. I luckily made a backup only a day before it broke, so now I want to put that backup onto my new iPhone 4s. Unfortunately, when I click "restore backup.." it says that my iPhone has never been backed up onto my computer, and thus it finds no backups that I can restore it to. I am aware I never backed it up, but I am unsure of how to access my backup from my old iPhone when I plug in my new iPhone into itunes. Any ideas??
    Thank you

    Easy.  Restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.  See the restoring topic of:

  • Trying to figure out how to restore an iPhoto Library from a backup onto a new system.

    I had an old imac that  died but I have backups of everything. I want to restore the iPhoto Libary to another system on another login
    The old system was an iMac that was running I think either 10.5.8 or 10.6 and I think iPhoto6. I want to restore from a backup onto a newer iMac running 10.8.1 with iPhoto 9.3.2. When I go to the backup I see the iphoto libray, but it does not show the icon I was expecting. What I see is
    Not the icon I thought I would see. When I double click I get a terminal window and I can see all of the files
    So how can I get these photos onto my new system?
    Thanks

    The backup was made via Time Machine. I want to take an account from an old machine to a different newer machine in the house. I tried using the migration assitant to move files onto the new system and all seems well except for photos. When iPhoto startes up it appears to recognize the photos and I can see thumbnails when I flip through, but I do not see full sized photos. How can i see all of the full sixe photos and make sure the conversion pulled my pictures over?

  • How do I get rid of the Genius playlist on my new ipod?

    Every post I've found on this topic says that turning Genius off in iTunes also turns off the playlist.
    However, I don't have Genius turned on in iTunes, so I can't turn it off.
    How do I get rid of the playlist?

    Try a hard reset. If that does not work, let the battery completely drain, recharge and test.

  • How do I get my old iphone to sync with my new Macbook Pro?

    I just bought a new Macbook Pro and was able to get all my files and such from my old computer, which was a Macbook about 4 years old. But the problem now is that when I plug in my iphone to the new computer it will not recognize the phone in my itunes. I authorized the computer for my itunes account and everything is updated I'm pretty sure... so how can I get my new computer to "accept" my iphone?
