I bought a used ipod touch 4th gen. how do I add it to my account?

Hi I bought a used Ipod Touch (4th). It was wiped clean when I got it except it had the prev. owners apple Id still on it when we went to download an app.so I went in sign it out. then created a new acct with it under my apple Id. I have an Iphone 4 (the ipod is for my Daughter).I can download apps, Music etc. But when I do, I get an email from apple saying a device has downloaded a song etc. that is not recognized with my acct.I also when I plug it in to my laptop it does nothing, does not show up on my device list, no pop up to add it,no DING nothing.I take and plug in my Iphone(using the same cord) and Ding there it is..Anyone know how to add this new one to my act so I can use itunes on my pc. and not get the emails?  Also it has been updated to the IOS 4.3.4..Thnxs

take it to apple store and schedule genius bar appointment.  your iPod is still under warrenty because that version is not even a year old.  They should replace it.  Good Luck!

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

    Well, there is always the possibility that it's been jailbroke, in which case, you're out of luck.  However...

  • I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this?

    I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?

  • Bought my daughter ipod touch 4th gen to replace her old one and want to get it ready for xmas by transferring her old content to new - how do i do it? secondly, if the old ipod is sold will the purchaser have access to account details?

    Bought my Daughter new ipod touch 4th gen to replace her old one and i want to get it ready for christmas by transferring everything (games, music etc) - how do i do this?
    Also, if she sells her old one, would the new owner have access to account/bank details?

    You can transfer iTunes purchases from the old iPod to your computer then sync the new iPod.
    Connect the old iPod, launch iTunes. From the menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases From
    Now connect the new iPod and sync Apps, Music, etc.
    As for selling the old one tap Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    That will erase all personal data from the iPod.

  • Use iPod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 - issues

    Hi all,
    I've just used my Pod Touch 4th gen iTunes backup to setup a new iPad Mini 1 but none of the apps were installed on the iPad mini. Only the default apps are installed.
    None of the photos from the camera roll were installed either, apart from a few 'screen shots' I have taken.
    iPod Touch is iOS 6.1.6 and the iPad mini is 8.1
    There was a warning advising that some of the apps in the iPod backup might not be compatible with the iPad.
    If it makes a difference, I'm using one Apple ID for the App store and another one for iCloud. When I was prompted for the Apple ID during setup on the Mini, I entered the iCloud ID.
    Interestingly, when I went into the App store on the Mini it showed the ID I use for that rather than the iCloud one, which seemed good.
    Is this what I should expect to happen in this situation or am I doing something wrong ?
    Many thanks. Mark

    I've managed to get the apps loaded without having to do it manualy !! :-)
    It was a case of RTFM - I forgot to do a 'Sync' after restoring the 4G's iTunes backup into the iPad.
    Transfer content from an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to a new device - Apple Support
    For some unknown reason, the Camera Roll images and Videos still weren't restored to the new device.
    This is not too much of an issue because I've exported them out of the 4G using the awesome 'Photo Sync' app. Despite it's name it actually does an 'export'and not a sync, which I think makes image management easier on the PC side

    Hi ZoeKeller,
    If the iPod Touch is running iOS7, it sounds like Activation Lock may be active. You may find the following article helpful:

  • I have forgotten my passcode to unlock my ipod touch 4th gen how do I fix it

    I have changed my pass code to unlock my home screen on my Ipod touch 4th generation and have forgotten it how do I get into my ipod?

    You will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
    You may have to force iPad/iPod into Recovery Mode

  • TS1591 I just bought a second iPod touch (4th gen), but when I connect the second iPod to my computer it is not recognizing it. How can I have two iPod's set up????

    So I had an iPod touch and everything with it is fine. I just bought a second one for my daughter...exactly the same as my iPod. This second one was bought used, but was reset completely before I plugged it into my computer. My problem is... my iTunes does not recognize the second touch as a device! I can't get it to sync, so I can't get any music or anything onto the device. How can I have two iPod touches on my computer? Is there something special that I have to do to get my computer to recognize this second touch as a different device?? PLEASE HELP!!!  

    - If you are using the same USB port and the same cable and have iTunes version 10.7 or later on the computer there is something wrong with the iPod.
    - Does the second iPod work?
    - Does it charge?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • Bought a used Ipod touch 3rd gen for my child and when charged I get a screen with a picture of a computer charging cord with an arrow pointing to a music symbol.  What do I do to get it to work?

    I've plugged it into the computer and nothing happens...nothing changes....the screen still has a pic of the computer charging cord with an arrow pointing to a music symbol at the top of the screen.  I can't seem to get it to do anything.

    For how to restore see:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

  • Can I use my iPod touch 4th gen to text iPhone users?

    I am using iPod touch 4th gen and I want to know how can I text my friends that are using iPhones. I mean, how do I add them in my contacts (will I need to put their phone number and where?) and how can I message them? Thanks!

    Since you have iOS 6.1.2, you should have iMessage, make sure your AppleID is entered in the Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Apple ID: field.
    Check the Contacts to see the friends are entered, and in their iPhone number field, indicate that those are iPhones, one of the choices you can make for the type of mobile phone.
