How to synch everything on a computer to new ipod touch

help

Yes if you do nothing beforehand. Move/copy your entire iTunes library to your new computer. Also move/copy the iPod backup file.  After the stuff in on the computer, restore the iPod from the backup you just moved/copied.
The backup file is here:
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: If you do not see the AppData or Application Data folders, you may need to show hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista and Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.
If you are moving from a Mac to a Mac, use the Migration Assistant in the Utilities folder under Applications. by mattin

    Place both the old photos and the new photos in the same folder you sync photos with. Youcan have one level of subfolders in the one syncing folder.

  • How do I set up my child's new ipod touch with separate apple id, so we don't share apps and music? says she is too young for her own account.

    Bought my 9 year old an ipod touch last night. Tried to set it up with her own account and her own Apple Id, so we do not share apps and music. It tells me she does not meet age requirement to have her own id. Tried to set it up on computer, and my music transferred to her new ipod. Help.

    You will have to set up the account in your name and supervise its use. The birthday you specify has to result in an age of at 13 years.

  • HT1476 How long does it take to charge a new ipod touch?

    I just bought a new 64gb ipod touch 5th generation, and i have had it plugged in for two hours or so now...So I'm just wondering how long it will take to charge until I can use it...Everytime I unplug it to try and turn it on and set it up, it never does. Do I have to have it charging for hours upon hours to charge it for the first time.
    If anyone could help, thatd be great

    Apple does not specify any special initial charging time. I would use the iPod without charging if the indicator indicates about 50% or greater. There is no % battery on the iPod. You just have to look at the battery icon in upper right and judge the % battery.

  • How much does it cost to get a new iPod touch (I think 4th generation) screen?

    Today I was working at a daycamp and someone walked into me when I was checking the time and I dropped my iPod touch face down on the pavement covered in sand. It's completely smashed on the screen, but the rest works fine. How much would a new screen cost?

When i disconnectd it it was fully charged but when i went to go use it it was only 2% left so i just it die (it was already doing that) So yesterday morning i connected it to its charger and the sign with the red battery and the lighting bolt showed up and it stayed on the charger for about three hours then when i went to go check it the same sign was there so i just took it off the charger for the day so i connected it again and its does the same i tried holding the power and homw buttons together and all it does is blink off and show the same sign does this mean i need a new one? P.S about a month ago i did drop it in water and i sat it in rice for two days and it started working just fine after.

  • Ok...i just baught a new ipod touch and synched it to my old computer to get my music off it...but when i synched it to my new comp it wants to erase everything thats not baught from i tunes....how do i keep the music in order to sync to my new comp?

    i just baught a new ipod touch and synched it to my old computer to get the music off it but when i synched it to my new computer it wants to delete all the music on it that wasnt baught through itunes....how do i keep my cd's and stuff that are on the ipod now and put it onto my new computer?

    These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
    Method 1
    Backup the library with this User Tip.
    Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
    Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
    Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
    Method 2
    Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
    Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
    I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
    Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should  merge the existing data from the device.
    If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
    Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

  • I synched my sons new ipod touch to my computer.  It downloaded all of my photos onto his device.  There is no delete button on them... how do I get them off?

    I synched my son's new IPOD touch up to my computer and it downloaded all of my photos app. 4000 of them to his Ipod.  When you open one, there is no delete button.  How do I get them off of his device?  Thanks

    re-connect to your computer  - If you have a Mac Make him, his own user account then he only has his stuff on it. If not then select the Photos tab when you are in iTunes and have his iPod selected on the left side.  At this point you then de-select the photos. 
    I am guessing that these are your photos and not ones that he wants.  You can only delete photos on the iPod that where originaly taken on the iPod.

  • How do you transfer specific music from your computer to your ipod touch?

    Ive read threads of how to do this and so far none have helped...Im trying to add specific songs that are on my computer to my ipod touch (4th gen).  I do not want the songs on my ipod transfered to my computer. 
    When I go to the ipod device in the menu collum of itunes on my computer, & then pick the "music" tab in the menu bar I get very limited options that I can choose.
    it says
    1. sync music .... If I try this selection a warning msg pops up " all existing content on ipod will be removed & replaced with songs & playlist from your itunes library"  I don't want this! I just want songs added to ipod
    2. below this selection are 4 options inside a gray box.  These selections are not available for reasons unknown to me.  They read
      a.  Entire music library
       b.  Selected playlist, artist, albums, and genres
       c.  include music videos
       d.  include voice memos
    selections a,  c, & d have tick marks by them
    As far as I have found up to this point this is somwhere close to the vicinity that I want to be in order to get done what I want to get done.  I don't know... perhaps I'm coming at this from the wrong angle.  Maybe I should use the ipod , and come at itunes from its interface?...

    I have not sync with another computer.  Brand new Ipod touch from christmas.  same computer.  I have however conected it to this computer before & because I was ingnorant it synced automatically with this same computer.  I was ****** because it messed everything up.  So I erased my ipod completlely and started over.  I also un-installed itunes and started over with its as well.  I then put only music that I wanted on my ipod onto my computer in itunes. 
    Now I cant figure out how to get that specific music on my ipod... this is all very maddening!!.. I feel like throughing both computer and ipod out my 2 story bedroom window
