How do I sync a friends iPod Touch with my iTunes?

Hiya
I am borrowing a friend's iPod Touch and want to sync it with my iTunes to copy some music onto it for her. When I try to sync iTune says that Touch can only be synced with 1 iTunes at a time and gives me the choice of Erase & Sync or Transfer Purchases.... neither of which I can do really! Can anyone help?

to prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod - hold down the option and the command (on a PC that would be the shift and ctrl ) keys when plugging in the iPod - keep pressing the keys until the iPod is listed under the devices list in iTunes.

  • 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 can I sync my G2 iPod touch with iCloud Contacts

    I have a second generation iPod touch OS 4.2.1.
    My iMac runs OS X 10.7.3 and I have an iPad 3rd generation.
    My Address Book Contacts and iCal Calendars are in iCloud. I have no On My Mac contacts or calendars.
    I can sync my iCloud calendars with the iPod touch by choosing the iCloud calendars identified with my Apple ID in the iTunes calendar sync dialog.
    The iTunes sync dialog for the Address Book, however, does not show my iCloud Contacts and only has a choice for syncing all contacts, which I have chosen.
    My calendars sync to my iPod touch, but my Address Book does not.

    This says that it can't be done.
    But I am able to do it for my calendars in iCloud, just not for my contacts in iCloud.
    What is the reason for the difference.

  • HT1386 trouble syncing music on ipod touch with new itunes library

    I can't seem to get my ipod touch (2nd Gen) to sync with my itunes library.  Had Trouble installing itunes 10.6.1 and abandoned the effort on main computer for now (out of FRUSTRATION!!!)  and instead tried to sync with my sons computer.  It wiped the ipod (expected that) but now when I try to sync for music it only downloads a few songs.  HELP!!!!  Please???  Get the message that sync could not be completed because sync failed to start.  I really can't afford to pay these guys to help with a product that should work so any help would be appreciated.

    How do I sync my friends iPod to my computer?

    Plug it in and sync it.
    AS ipod touch will sync with one computer, it will delete the current content and replace with content from your computer.

    i purchased songs via my ipod touch.  when I sync'd my ipod touch with my computer, the songs I purchased disappeared into a black hole... how do I get them back without having to repurchase? 

    On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

  • 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 do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?

    how do i use 2 ipod touches with 1 itunes account?  can they share apps and music etc. I'm not very good at any tech so advise would be much appreciated.

    Yes. You can sync an unlimited number of iDvies that you control to one iTunes library/account. If using the same iTunes library on the same comutr just make sure that yu go to the ap. music and other pane for the iPod in iTunes and select sycn selected items. Not the the whole library.  That way each iPod can have it own contents.

    If she set up Find My iPod on it before this happened, follow the instructions listed under "If you don't have access to a computer" here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  Otherwise, you would have to use a computer to restore it by following one of the other two solutions listed at the bottom of the article.

    Try settings -- messages -- send & recieve and see if your email and phone number are in there and if there is only a check mark next to your email address.  If so just check off your phone number and try that.
