  • How do I set up a second iPod Touch account on my computer?

    How do I set up a second iPod Touch account on my computer? Am having trouble.

    You seem to know alot, so I am contacting you regarding my query
    I bought a second iPod touch for my daughter. My problem is that this second iPod is not being recognized as a device... therefore I cannot sync it or add any content to it. Do you know how I can add a second iPod to my iTunes so that I am able to sync it?
    I have gone through all of the troubleshooting (restarting iPod, restarting computer, reseting iPod to factory default...etc). Can you please help me?

  • How do i register a second ipod touch to my computer

    how can i add a second ipod touch to my computer and itunes account and why do i have to enter a card number to verify my itunes account

    Hello Orlosky,
    And welcome to Apple Discussions!
    Not sure as to how that happened, because there is no limit to how many devices you can sync to one computer. To sync to the 2nd iPod, simply hook it up, go through the registration and setup process, and then sync away.
    There are several ways of managing multiple iPods with one computer. I think your best option would be to check out this Apple support document. Hope it helps.

  • HT1296 How do I transfer music from my Ipod touch to my computer?

    I borrowed an Ipod touch from a friend to transfer his songs to my computer. but i've been unable to do that. everytime I try to sync Ipod with my Itunes, it warns me of replacing entire data (in Ipod) with data of my Itunes. How do I tranfer music from his Ipod touch to my computer without erasing any data from his device (ipod) ??
    please reply me in my email id: [email protected]

    If it is just the music you are after, then steps 2 & 3 have you covered. If you no longer have access to the computer you used to sync with then you may want all the information...
    iTunes is designed to sync devices to a single library. When you try to switch libraries you may lose some or all of the information curently stored on the device. To prevent this you should be able to:
    Backup the device to a new installation
    Transfer your purchases into an authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How do I set up my old iPod touch 4 for my child

    I am trying to set up my old iPod touch for my 10 year old. I want to be able to filter things out and get my contacts off from the iPod. I tried setting up a new Apple ID just for the iPod, but have not been successful. Any advice is appreciated.
    Thank you!

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Yo have to enter a birtdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. Note if you do this then y will NOT copies of Messages he gets/sends unless you also add his email address to your device in Settings>Messahes>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

  • How do I Set up a used iPod touch on windows with content from my own iPod ?

    Am giving my son my used 32 Gb IPod Touch 3rd generation to replace his own ailing iPod touch.
    What are the steps to follow to create a mirror image of HIS DEVICE from his last backup onto mine so it becomes a clone of his old one ???

    Have him do a normal backup-and-sync operation with his old iPod Touch on his computer (or his account on your computer, however you have this arranged). Disconnect his old iPod Touch from the cable, plug in the replacement iPod Touch, and choose to RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will replace all his settings, media, apps, and even the data stored by individual apps. In all ways it should look and behave just like his old iPod Touch, only without whatever was "ailing" it.

  • How can I transfer photos from my ipod touch to my computer

    How can I transfer photos from my iPod touch to my laptop.?

    What photos?
    Photos synced from computer to ipod are one way only  - computer to ipod.  As they came from your computer in the first place, they should still be there.
    Pics taken with ipod are imported as with any digital camera.

  • How do I set up my second Ipod and itunes library (same computer)?

    I recently filled up my first Ipod, and want to load my second Ipod's software on the same computer without causing interference and problems with my first ipod and library. How do I load my second ipod's software and create a library just for it, without the libraries becoming confused, or not recognizing ipods, or double copying songs?
    Thanks in advance,
