I am trying to set up my new ipod touch and the system does not recognize my apple id. How do I reset and start again. I'm not sure what to do now.

I can be reached at this email during the day [email protected]

Try to change your Apple ID back to your old email address (http://appleid.apple.com) in order to set up and activate the phone. After the set up please sign out of iCloud and turn off "Find My iPhone" (Settings > iCloud) - do that on all your devices -, then change your Apple ID to your new address again and then add your iCloud account on you devices again.

Just tried to set up my new Ipod touch but nothing restored

Just Tried to set up my new Ipod touch and it does recognize it bu tI did not get any of my music or books or notes, nothing, what's up?

How did you restore?
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
Notes are associated with the iCloud ID used. Are y using theme ID as the old device?
Do they still show on the old device?

How to set up my new ipod touch and sync my music?

You can download a copy of the iPod Touch manual from here which includes a Getting Started chapter. There is also info on syncing music on this page

Hey, Thanks a lot. It took quite a bit of time to resurrect this ipod. I tried the upgrade again, but still would not recognize my ipod. So I went to the next step and reset my ipod, wiping of all of the information like it was new. This helped my laptop see the ipod on itunes, but did not sync. So, I deleted the itunes off my computer completely, restarted and then reinstalled the newest itunes, and then restarted. Finally, it recognized my ipod and started to download each song. It took awhile as there was 602 songs, but finally it works. Yea!!! I never had any problem with my old nano, but this touch has been another animal for sure. Thank you again and also the community for information. This was a helpful forum and will recommend to others if they get stuck with their ipod or iphone. Take care, Karen

I am trying to restore my new ipod touch and it is coming up as error, what am i doing wrong?

I am trying to restore my sons new ipod touch i am trying to restore it but it keeps coming up as error 1611, i have removed all security software and tried again but it has made no difference, any advice?

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

As the article says, you may have a hardware problem.

I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update. I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes. What should I do?

I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night. I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync. It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back. I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do. Can someone help?

Do you have an iCloud backup? If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup. However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.

How to set up a new iPod Touch and transfer data from old IPod Touch

ok, it's Friday night, I finished the cheese and about 1/2 a bottle of wine (myself... not ideal for a smurf my size) and I still can't find the answer to my question after searching [to the best of my most current ability] all over the forums (I even searched long before I started drinking wine). I appologize right now for my ignorance and inability to find the answer on my own.... but could someone PLEASE, just tell me the best way to kill my daughter's Ipod Touch 2nd Gen (advertised as Gen 3, ha, ha, on me), and set up her new-(to-us) Ipod Touch Gen 4? I've already backed up her old device to my computer? (it's a PC - sorry, it's free from my husband's office)
Do I set up her new-ish Gen 4 as a "new device" or "restore from back up?" She's young enough (grade school - & why she gets old/cheaper HW) that we both still uses my iTunes acct for her device and mine so that I own & can monitor/manage the music that we both listen to... but this time I'll set up her own iCloud acct. Although the new device (let's call it device B) has been wiped clean from the last user, how do I set it up? New device or restore from bk up? Now that she saved up the $ I paid for it, to pay me, she's driving me crazy about getting it going for her. Her orig/current device, iPod Gen 2ish (we can refer to that as device A) has been backed up to my computer and I'd like to port all of her data (calendar, contacts, pictures/movies, etc) to her new device. Please help this old mom... my girl is driving me crazy... and I feel bad not delivering her goods. Many thanks.

New ipod touch, Error: "The device can not be read or written to."

I don't know what else to do!
I also have an Ipod touch that just doesn't sync. When I connect the Ipod and launch Itunes to sync, it tells me that the device can not be written to:
It just doesn't snyc at all. It's brand-new, out of the box and just doesn't work. And it's not my first ipod, so I know how to handle Itunes.
That's what i've tried so far without success to solve the problem:
* restored the touch hundreds of times, both in recovery and DFU mode and within the touch software
* upgraded to firmware 1.1.4, downgraded back to 1.1.3, then to 1.1.2. and back to 1.1.4 - no change!
* installed several different ITunes Versions and different Apple Mobile Device Services
* tried MediaMonkey BETA with Ipod Touch support (this just creates 0kb files on the touch, but it also uses the mobile device service, so i guess the failure is somewhere there)
* tried 4 different Windows XP systems with Itunes at my home and at friends (same error there as well)
* restored my Windows XP with a recovery version and reinstalled Itunes completely from scratch
* created a new user account in Windows XP and tried it with this one
* launched Itunes with Internet switched off
* used different USB ports - both 1.1 and 2.0
* disconnected all USB devices
* registered the necessary DLLs manually
* last week, I sent the ipod to Apple (they claim that everything is fine and the problem is just me and my computer and sent it back without change)
I don't have an apple in reach, so i'm not able to test it with an apple computer. There is also no apple store here in the country side of Germany.
What else can be done? I know there are hundreds, that have the same problem but I don't know any more things to try. Now i have a 300 bucks touch i can not use as mp3 player...

+* last week, I sent the ipod to Apple (they claim that everything is fine and the problem is just me and my computer and sent it back without change)+
Today I got it back and nothing changed. I tried to call Apple Germany, but after i waited over 1,5 hours on the waiting line, i gave up.

Trying to set up a new ipod touch

Keep getting the msg server error, what should we do differently?

You can't have multiple IDs on one account, but you can use multiple IDs for different purposes on the same device.
Just use the one AppleID for iTunes and the AppStore so you can all share your music and app purchases. Then each person should have their own individual AppleID with associated iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, iMessage and FaceTime.
You don't have to use the same AppleID for all services.

I have a new ipod touch (in box) but im not sure which generation it is

i was wondering if there is any way to tell by a SN or something, whether it is the new one or old.
it was purchased after the 2nd gen one had already been out for a day or so.
but yeah its in the box and its 8gb but it doesnt say which generation.. thx

If it's in a clear plastic case, and you see a black volume control on the left side, its a second generation. if it's in a John Lennon box, it's first gen.

I have a new iPad and tried to set up as new, then realized i needed to sign in as an existing itunes user. I reset my new ipad as new, but now when I sign in using my existing ipad it backs up to the new one I just set up. I need my itunes on new iTune

You want to restore from the backup. Do not set up as new. You can read the article that Tom posted above, but it really is pretty simple.
Transfer any purchases from the old iPad into iTunes, backup the old iPad in iTunes and them sync one more time.
Connect the new iPad and when prompted during activation, restore from the backup that you just created and then sync with iTunes.
The new iPad should be identical to the old iPad, but you will have to enter some passwords again on the new device.
Transfer purchases.

Trying to set up a new macbook air and it is asking for a keychain password

I am trying to set up a new Macbook Air and it is asking for a keychain password. Where do I find one?

There was an option to Cancel the pop up box which I have now done and it has carried on with the set up - so not sure what it was all about.
I am going to the Genius Bar tomorrow so will ask the question!
Thanks for your help Linc.

I am trying to set up my new iPad 2 and to begin I installed iTunes on my laptop and connected the iPad to the USB port. Neither Windows or iTunes recognizes the device. I did everything this site told me to try and still no luck. Help!

You will not be able to see what version you are running until the iPad is activated. It will be in Settings>General>About >Version when you can get to the settings app.
The slider bar that you are describing sounds like the screen lock side switch and that has no bearing on setting up the iPad or connecting to WiFi.
Why don't you try rebooting your router? Unplug it for about 30 seconds and then plug it in again and see if the iPad will recognize and join the network.
