How to update authorised device on Ipod touch

I have recently changed laptops and I have changed the settings in i-tunes so that only the new laptop and my ipod touch are authorised devices. However, despite re-booting and re-syncing, my ipod touch still shows the old laptop as its only authorised device and will not completely update or sync by wi-fi...
any suggestions please??

What exactly happens when you try to sync via USB?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

  • How to update my 1st Generation iPod Touch

    How can I update my first generation iPod touch to iOS 4.3 if it's updated currently to iOS 4.2.1?
    I tied going to iTunes and checking for an update, but it tells me that it's updated to the current version.
    Can I update the iOS 4.2.1 to 4.3 without payments?

    You can't. That is the last version for that model, which is a 2nd Generation:
    See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

  • HT4972 how to update my 3rd generation ipod touch

    how do i update my 3rd generation ipod touch?

    If youreally have a 2G iPod those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

    iPod touch (3rd generation)
    iPod touch (3rd generation) features a 3.5-inch (diagonal) widescreen multi-touch display and 32 GB or 64 GB flash drive. You can browse the web with Safari and watch YouTube videos with Wi-Fi. You can also search, preview, and buy songs from the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store on iPod touch.
    The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

  • HT4623 How to Update software on older iPod Touch

    I have an older iPod Touch with software version3.1.3(7E18).  The device does not give the option to update under settings and the Summary in iTunes says that it is updated so I need to know how to get it updated? The referenced article gives only these two options. Can it be updated or is it to old?  Many apps require ios4.0 and above so it limits my access to many apps.  Any answers, suggestions or direction would be much appreciated. Thanks!

    The original ipod touch can only go to 3.1.3

  • How to update for 2nd generation ipod touch?

    I have a 1st or 2nd generation ipod touch, was bought in early 2008 i believe.
    I can't for the life of me find anything that will let me download the newest update for the software. I've seen other
    people have said they have downloaded the 4.3 but I just can't. Is my itunes not up to date? or is it just not
    possible??

    4.2.1 is the latest software available for the second gen ipod touch.
    3.1. is the latest from a 1st gen.

  • Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto the shuffle. My laptop crashed whish had all my new music

    Alright, so my ipod touch stopped working, but I can still connect it to itunes, but my friend gave me his old nano. I was wondering how I could get my more updated songs from my ipod touch onto th nano. My laptop crashed whitch had all my new music, and im afraid if I sync my Ipod touch to the desktop with all my old songs, ill lose all my newer ones which I dont want to happen because I want them on my nano. Im sorry for the confusing topic im just so lost.

    All you have to do is connect your new iPod to the computer that has the library for your old iPod.
    When iTunes comes up, click on your new iPod under Devices.
    At the top of the Summary Page click Music.
    Click Synch Music.
    Do the same thing for Photos, Apps, Movies and so on...
    Now just synch the iPod.

  • How can i update io7 for my ipod touch\

    How can i update ios7 for my ipod touch.

    No.
    As Apple said in June, iOS 7 is not compatible with the 4G iPod.
    All the iOS devices compatible (iPhone 4 and later, iPad 2 and later, and 5G iPod touch) with iOS 7 have at least 512 MB of memory (RAM). The 4G iPod only has 256 MB

  • I need to update my iTunes and iPod touch,iPad and iPhone but they were set up with a hp laptop that i sold i tried to update my iTunes and apple devices but it tell's me if i update i will lose all media on my devices and to update with the original com

    I need to update my iTunes and iPod touch,iPad and iPhone but they were set up with a hp laptop that i sold i tried to update my iTunes and apple devices but it tell's me if i update i will lose all media on my devices and to update with the original computr

    Go to www.ecamm.com and d/l PhoneView.
    To prevent a sync when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - hold down the 'option' and the 'command' keys when plugging in the iPod/iPhone - key the keys down until the iPod/iPhone is listed under the Devices list in iTunes - this will prevent a sync from taking place.
    With PhoneView you can take the content from the device to the iTunes library.

  • How can I locate my lost iPod Touch if my location was off and user ID was changed?

    I lost 3 Apple devices during house break in. How can I locate my lost Apple devices if my location was turn off,
    without "Find My Phone" apps and user ID was changed. The 3 devices are iPod Touch, iPad 2 and iPhone 3gs.
    I had made a Police Report and was told that I can request to get information to track my devices upon WIFI or
    internet connection. I hope "APPLE" team will help me to track my devices with IP locations, GPS, built in compass,
    or quickly send directions, updated informations and mobile data to find out and coordinates them.
    Given point will also help the police to capture them.
    Awaiting your reply.
    Thank you. Rgd,

    There is no Apple here, just users like you and me. Apple does not provide nor have that information, as far as I know, but if police needs that information, they have a legal way of contacting Apple. If I were you I would avoid trusting Internet forum, assessable by anyone with your personal information.
