I bought a used iPod and cannot sync it with iTunes

Actually I want to connect my wifes iPod nano to my Itunes, but it won't let me sync it.
Under devices I see it, but I only get to view the summary of the device

If you  have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
  To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing and follow the instructions
BTW, this is the iPod touch forum.

  • I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch". How am I able to log that off?

    I bought a used iPod and they were previously signed onto their iCloud account. I have been wanting to change it but I have not been able to sign out of the previous account because I cannot sign out of "Find My iPod Touch" due to not knowing the password. How am I able to shut that off and log into my own account?

    You can't.  This is a security feature to prevent the resale of stolen iOS devices.  You need to contact the seller and have him/her remove it from their iCloud account.  Or return and get your money back.  See: Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

    Yeah it seems to be fine although I'm a bit reluctant to fire it up with the Mac just incase. Thanks for the response btw

  • Bought a used Ipod and when installing software, music on Ipod is gone

    I bought a used Ipod, and after I installed the software and got my Ipod reformatted, all of the music that was on there is gone.
    Is this supposed to happen? If not, could someone please tell me how to recover all of this music?
    And if that is supposed to happen, that's just pathetic. There isn't anything in the user guide or anything that says that installing an Ipod on a different computer will complete wipe out whatever was stored on it.

    restoring means setting the ipod back to factory defaults and wiping it clean
    reset means reset - toggle it back into active mode

  • How can I unlock ipod touch 5th gen currently disabled and never sync'd with itunes

    Basic situation. Ipod touch 5th gen. Passcode forgotten and tried too many times such that ipod is disabled and requested to connect to iTunes.  Problem is that the ipod was never sync'd with iTunes so the connection fails.  I've only owned it for 9 months or so.  I know I can recover all my music through iTunes and my applications through the app store since all of my content was legally purchased.  The problem is that I need to also recover my contacts and pictures since this is the only place they exist.
    I have read about methods up to 4th generation where you can access a particular file on the device via computer and rename it to unlock the device. That would most likely allow me to then sync/backup via iTunes and recover my data.  Problem is that I can only access the DCIM folder via windows manager and it contains no data. Perhaps there is a way to access the device a different way?
    Is there a way with the 5th generation to either reset the lock (from disabled to locked with a 1 min wait for retry as an example) to allow me more opportunities to try other passcodes that I may have set (including mistypes etc) or to remove the passcode completely and let me set it to something I will write down this time?
    Please do not reply with the standard apple responses of 'sync with itunes' or 'factory reset' and no, I did not sync with the icloud either (I tried but it was unsuccessful for some reason).
    The answer doesn't even have to be a free one as I would be willing to pay for the solution if it were guaranteed to work.  Since apple seems to want to charge for any type of support, even to ask a question, I am relying on the community for help.  Thanks much.

    You have to place the iPod in Recovery mode as Apple says and erase the device. It is a security feature.
    or
    If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
    You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
    There is not other way

    An iOS device can only be synced with one iTunes library.

  • I purchase a movie with my ipad but i sold it and never synced it with itunes how do i get the movie back??!

    i purchase a movie with my ipad but i sold it and never synced it with itunes how do i get the movie back??!

    Unless you are in the US then films can't currently be re-downloaded from the store (and not all films can be in the US). If you are in the US then you could see if it's in the Purchased link on the left-hand side of the iTunes store home page for re-downloading : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519

    I bought a used ipod touch and have put a few apps and music on it. If i sync it with my computer to update to the latest iOS will i lose all of the apps and music? Not all the apps and music are from the iTunes store

    Sync with new computer. Follow steps closely to make sure you don't lose data on iPod.

  • HT204302 i bought a used ipod and it is reconized as a camera , but not by itunes, and it shows the cord and picture of itunes logo on screen, and thats it?

    I bought a used ipod touch and my computer recognizes the camera, but it doesn't show the ipod connected? The screen on the ipod shows the cord with an arrow pointing to itunes logo and thats it?

    Then you have not entered Recovery Mode...
    Try again... Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
    Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.

  • IPod no longer sync's with ITunes 6

    I upgraded to iTunes 6 last night, and now when I connect my iPod it no longer sync's. Although it does show the battery charging on the iPod, and System Profiler shows it is connected to USB port, it does not mount and iTunes doesn't show an iPod connected.
    Has anyone seen this? Any ideas?

    Similar problem here.... my calendars sync but I get an error trying to set up the contacts syncing and it won't sync them.
    I got totally screwed when they took the iPod and .mac syncing out of iSync, cause I also sync my phone and Palm, and syncing either of those doesn't work right either.

  • Help I bought a used imac and cannot get passed the password

    The support tech said that I could probably get assistance from someone here. I bought the computer from the goodwill two days ago and it is password protected with two user names. Ever time I turn on the computer it goes to choose user and enter password. I don't know how to get beyond this point and the support tech said that since the computer is a 2000 model and passed the warrinty period It would cost me $49.00. I don't have the money for this, that is the reason I went and bought a used computer. So if you could help me out that would be greatly appreciated. I didn't know which board to post this on so if in in the wrong one I apologize.

    Hi, Rhonda.
    Dale has answered your question, but for future reference, if your computer was made in 2000 it must be a G3 imac and you'll find more people who know about your computer in the CRT iMac forums. This forum is for the flat-panel imac, which came out in 2002.

    Hi Rhonda,
    You must first find exactly what type of computer you own, running which OS.
    If your Mac is a 2000 model, your original install CDs should be Mac OS 8.6 or Mac OS 9.0.4.
    It's possible though, that you have a version of Mac OS X installed.
    You'll find a better help in the iMac G3 or the PowerMac G4 forums.
    Good luck!
