HT1329 Can I update my iPOD touch from a new computer?

I was wondering if it's possible to update my IPOD touch from a different computer, the one I was using crashed and now I can't update my ipod and it's difficult because I can't download current games.
Also, How do I download my music from my ipod to the new computer

Copy or move the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer or the backup of the old computer to the new computer, then you can sync and update the device.
If for some silly reason you have failed to backup, shame on you.
That being said you should be able to do the following:
Connect the device to the computer but do not sync.
Right click on the device and select Transfer Purchases.
Once complete, right click on the device and select Backup Device.
Doing this should change the device association to the new computer allowing you to sync and update the device and apps.

    Can I update my iPod touch from iOS 4.2.1 to iOS 5?

    If it's a second generation iPod touch, no; they can't be updated past 4.2.1.
    If it's a third generation iPod touch, yes.
    If it's a fourth generation iPod touch, no; they can only be updated directly to 6.1.3.

  • Can I update a iPod Touch from a different PC and not lose my media files?

    OK. Here is the question, can you update a iPod touch which is on iOS 4.x to iOS 6.0 using a different computer that it was originally synced to, but not lose any of the media files on it?

    Only if all your synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes library of that computer.

  • What does error -3259 mean? How can i update my ipod touch to the new ios 5?

    I been updating my ipod touch 4 software to the new ios 5 all day. i tried disabling my security programs and firewall, different download programs and reinstalling iTunes, and restarting my ipod touch. But for each attempt i get a different error. i went to the Specific update and restore errror code page and got a reason for each error except for error -3259. Basically my question is: 1. How can i update my ipod software to io5 and 2. What is the reason behind error -3259?

    Connect it to iTunes on a computer and update it from there. Note that the second generation iPod touch(which includes 8GB models sold at the same time as the third generation ones) can't be updated past 4.2.1.

  • How can I update my ipod touch from 5.0.1 software to 5.1 ?!

    If u know just tell me abut it because i can not open safari,apps,etc...
    i want the new software because i want siri.

    Siri is not part of iOS 5.1 for the iPod touch, so if that's your only reason for upgrading, you'd be wasting your time. Siri is only available on the iPhone 4S.
    If you want to upgrade, though, see:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    or if you have WiFi from your iPod go to the Software Update section of the General settings .

  • How can I separate my iPod touch from my new iPhone account?

    I recently purchased an iPhone and my daughter has an iPod touch...all on the same account. How can I separate the two? I can message her but its like I'm sending it to myself and I end up getting it twice. They are synced together. I can se what she does and vice versa. Need help!

    Have her get her own unique AppleID to use just for iCloud and iMessage.  You can use a shared AppleID for family purchased content in the iTunes and app store.
    Once she has her own AppleID, delete the iCloud account on the iPod touch and create a new one for her with her own AppleID.  For iMessage, just select the existing AppleID in settings, log out, then log back in with her new AppleID.
    Then you will each have your own separate iCloud and iMessage accounts.

  • How can I sync my iPod Touch to a new computer?

    My Laptop's hard drive died: that's bad enough, but my data was backed up onto my iPod Touch, including some very rare tunes that I can't ever get again. I then installed iTunes onto my wife's desktop, but now I'm told that if I want to sync the iPod, I have to delete everything that's on it as the iPod is already synced to another computer - which now doesn't exist.
    I thought that backing up my rare music to my iPod made it safe; it was on my hard drive and my iPod. Now I'm told that if I want to sync my iPod to another computer I have to delete its contents. I can't afford to lose the music, because I can't replace it. Surely this can't be right?
    Incidentally, because I can't sync my iPod I have missed at least 2 appointments because my calendar isn't updated.
    I understand that Apple are worried about data being copied from one computer to another, but surely there must be a way to register a new computer as one to which I should sync?.

    This program can rescue your rare music for only US$25:  http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.php
