how to restore to new ipod. I forgot password.
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HT1212 how to restore apps in Ipod touch?
My son has erased all apps in IPod touch. How to restore the apps to factory default.
Restore from backup if you want appd data restored to
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting. Then redownload the apps -

Restoring a new ipod touch to icloud

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Please help me restore my new ipod 3.1
Okay, I just had my Ipod replaced under warranty. I got home, and reading the directions it said I have to update itunes and download the latest ipod updater. ( This is for windows, BTW).
I downloaded the itunes update just fine. Went back, I think I downloaded the updater fine too. But when I open the updater to restore my new ipod, it says "ipod service error". What does this mean and how can I fix it?
The updater I downloaded was 2006-01-10.
Thank you for any help, this is driving me crazy!!! After one defective ipod and now this, I just have had a really bad expeience. Much obliged, Sean
IBM Thinkpad Windows XPUpdate: I just spent the last hour or so uninstalling, and reinstalling iTunes and the iPod updater, as per the link above.
I did this because, as the webpage suggests, I opened windows task manager and ipodservice.exe was not in the list.
So I cleaned up all the old iTunes stuff reinstalled iTunes, exatly as per directions. I went back to task manager, and ipodservice.exe was there. A good sign, thought I. I then went on to download the ipod updater. I restarted computer, and guess what? Still the same "ipod service error".
I am going to try some other things suggested on the webpage, but I still really need help.
At this point I don't know if it's my computer or what, bu tI can safely say that if I had the chance to do it over again, I would NEVER buy an iPod. I have become a slave to a $250 piece of metal and plastic. I've spent hours and hours of frustrated work, between this problem and my defective ipod. Thanks a lot, Apple. -

I know nothing about how to use my new ipod and when reading the little information that came with it, all I can do is turn it on. Then in a few seconds it goes black, never having brought up a screen to do anything! Help! What do I do to get this thing going?
You might consider connecting it to the charger and charging up the battery overnight.

It is trying to restore my new ipod from the backup cloud, but it keeps asking me for the passwords of three different itunes accounts, two i know are my friends accounts and I don;t even know whoose the third is. I must have some of their music on my library or something, but it won't backup without these passwords it seems. Is there a way to get around this? I have the music in my Itunes library and can listen to it all I want and burn it on cds but I cant get it to go on my ipod without their passwords. Can i switch it and just have it sync to my computer and not this icloud? My other ipod didnt ask me for these passwords when I tried to sync it.
If you have music that was purchased on different iTunes accounts than the one you use, then you must provide the password, otherwise the tunes are not considered yours. You can turn off iCloud and just use the usual USB sync method. But I wonder whether you'll have the same problem?

I just purchased an ipad. When I plug it in to my computer it won't show under devices in itunes. I already have itunes set up for my ipod touch. I just want to share the music etc thats already there with both devices. How do I get my computer to recognize that the ipad is there?
The latest model requires iTunes 10.7 or higher. Check iTunes to make sure you're running a compatible version. If so, see:

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number
How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?
The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod. It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
Othrewise, it cannot be tracked. -
I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks
Is this a new iPhone?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all. -
New iPod Nano 6th generation just got it going today. It is fully charged but shuts off a few seconds into a song, what do I do?
I received mine yesterday as replacement for 1st generation and yes I had exactly the same problem.
I don't think it is anything to do with headphone plug [jack].
I played around with the settings and have just managed to listen to three hours without problem.
Music settings; shake to shuttle off, sound check off, double click - play/pause, audio cross fade and group compilation on. Can't be all these but trial and error as to which one - unfortunately it came without instructions.
The only other thing was that I had it in pocket while i was moving whereas yesterday I was sat at desk with nano at rest.

I have all my music on my external hard drive when I try to add it to iTunes it is automatically added to my MacBook Pro's hard drive. How do I stop this from happening? I just want the music to stay on the external hard drive. Thanks!
This is true of course, but doesn't cover the situation where some files are in the iTunes Media folder and others are on an external drive. In my case I keep my music in the Media folder and all my films on an external drive (there are too many to have on the internal drive). In iTunes 11, and before, it was easy to add those external files by holding down the alt/opt key while dragging to the sidebar. In iTunes 12 this is no longer possible. There are several workarounds: use TuneSpan to move the file after it's been added; delete the file from the Media folder and empty the trash then use iTunes Get Info which will report the file is missing and allow you to locate it; constantly switch the Add to iTunes toggle on and off as required. All of these require a lot more work than just holding down the alt/opt key while adding.
It constantly gets harder. -
Everytime I start my MAC, the Applications window opens. How do I prevent that from happening. I just want to see the Desktop with the normal Hardrives and folders I setup on the Desktop.
Start up. Close the offending finder window. Shut down.
Now start up again.
Is it fixed?
