How to transfer owner ship of ipod touch

I was given an Ipod touch from a friend who didn't use it anymore (has an Iphone).  I need to set it up with my ID so I can get all my old ipod info transferred onto it.  I can't find anything anywhere that tells me how to do this.  My computer does not recognize the ipod...period.  Any suggestions would be most helpful.

On the iPod go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings. Then, it it has iOS 5 or later you can set it up via wifi if you want. Otherwise connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
If necessary see:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

  • How to transfer ratings from the iPod touch to the computer?

    Hi. I've rated a bunch of songs (star rating) on the iPod touch. How can I transfer these ratings onto the library that is on my computer?
    Thanks

    I don't sync at all because I use multiple computers, so syncing is not convenient. I just hate how you can only stick to one computer and not switch to manual without losing all your songs.
    I don't sync to any playlist or checked songs. Wouldn't it be easier to have your iPod sync to a playlist on your computer specifically for iPod only songs, instead of unchecking all the songs you don't want?

  • How do transfer files from my ipod touch to my shuffle

    I have an Ipod Touch and my mom has an Ipod Shuffle. How do i transfer all my music to her shuffle from my account??

    You don't.
    All of your music should be on your computer.  Just sync the music from the computer to the shuffle.

  • How to transfer purchased songs from ipod touch to itunes

    how do i transfer songs i bought from the wifi music store onto my itunes library?
    i manually manage my music so when i hit sync, it doesn't do it. when i hit file, transfer purchases from my ipod, it transfers all purchased songs, even ones i bought on other computers and then put on my ipod, not just through the wifi music store. How do i transfer just the ones purchased on my ipod?

    Hi ipodtuser234,
    Clicking "Synchronize" will only transfer songs from the library to the iPod.
    To transfer music donwloaded from iTunes Music Wi-Fi Store to the computer, connect your iPod then right-click you iPod name on the Source list and hit "Transfer Purchases".
    Here you have an article about that: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305465
    To transfer only determined song from the iPod to your iTunes library. See my post [here|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6923237#6923237].
    Hope this helps!

  • How to transfer Files from an iPod touch to a new computer?

    Hello all, recently i ran into some computer problems and my computer needed to be replaced.
    I did not keep my old computer. I want to transfer files such as notes, contacts, apps ect. to the new computer. I do not care about transfering music or photos because i have copies of them saved on the new computer already. so is it possible to transfer those things? I have an iPod touch 4th Generation, if that helps.

  • How to transfer recorded videos from iPod Touch 4G to iTunes?

    No matter what I do like "Include videos", it won't sync.

    In order to pull the videos off of the iPod Touch, you need to treat it like it was a digital camera. On windows, you go to your computer, and it should be located as a separate drive, usually showing up saying "iPod Touch - Digital Camera". Open it up and dig through the folder to the lowest level, all your pictures and videos will be there. On a Mac, it should show up right on the desktop, like a drive.

    I've already transferred the purchased songs to the new itunes library. I'm just having trouble getting the rest of the songs, that are from my old itunes library, onto my new computer. I don't know if this matters or not, but I have a 2nd generation ipod, and I'm using a PC.

  • How can I transfer music from my iPod touch to my new mac without a backup?

    I've seen a lot of tutorials on how to do this from various websites. Some are for windows only and some only apply to iPods that aren't touches. What I want to know is, how can i transfer my music from iPod touch to my Mac without losing everything and without having to buy all my music over again (none of my music was purchased on iTunes)? It'll break my heart that 600 songs are all gone simply because I don't have a backup or I didn't purchase from iTunes. There has to be a way to do this. Help?

    You need a third-party program like one of those discussed here.

    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.
