I bought my nephew a new ipod touch 16gb to replace his 8gb. Can't seem to get all songs or apps to transfer from the old one to the new? Any suggestions

I tried using itunes on his computer and it transferred his pictures and 25 of his 34 songs. None of the apps transferred so when we got to where we had wi-fi I enabled ICloud on both ipods. The new ipod shows where the original was backed up but it didn't add anything to the new ipod. Don't know what I'm doing wrong.

If he still has his or your itunes user and password on his iTunes app, iTunes should let you redownload it again FREE OF CHARGE. Any paid apps you already paid for, will reinstall for FREE.
OR if u have iCloud for that iPod.... try these links:

    I am using ipod touch 4g 8 gb, with ios6 software. It is getting very very slow even after i reinstalled the software. Apps like temple run 2 and subway surfers are getting stuck and it is very very slow.My ipod has 2.6 gb free space. What is the problem. I am not getting to know. Even after i reinstalled these apps it is still getting stuck and it is very very slow. Is this what i get after paying so much money for ipod. Is this what i get very poor perfomance.

    Periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The 4G only has 256 MB of memory.

    Copy them to a thumb drive using a different computer then use that to transfer them to your machine. Over a network from a machine with a working CD drive...
    What does this have to do with using the iPhone in an enterprise environment?

  • In the latest two updates you can only go back one page at a time, previous versions allowed you to jump back several pages by choosing from the twistie - any suggestions?

    The arrow to open the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons has been removed in Firefox 4 and later.
    Use one of these methods to open the tab history list:
    * Right click on the Back or Forward button
    * Hold down the left mouse button on the enabled Back or Forward button until the list opens
    You can look at this extension:

  • I cant seem to get ALL songs from my library to sync to my new ipod touch, my old ipod has all of them...???

    cant sync all of my library to new ipod touch, but my old ipod(not touch) has all songs..????help

    The ipod is not a storage/backup device.  The sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Devices>Transfer Purchases
    Have you failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer?

  • Some one stole my iPod touch. is there a way I can track it to get it back?

    someone stole my Ipod touch. Is there a way to traCK IT and how?

    No.
    Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod.  If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number).  If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
    The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief.  All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
    The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself.  Something as small as an iPod should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries.

  • If I change my Apple ID, can I get my iTune and App purchases transferred from the old to the new ID?

    I have a child who is now of age to create an Apple ID.  If I create a new Apple ID, can I tranfer the iTune and App Store purchases from my existing Apple ID to the new one for my child?

    No, it's not currently possible to transfer content from one account to another account - all items remain tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded them, so they will remain tied to your account.
    As long as your account is authorised on the computer's iTunes that he/she syncs to, and those items are in its library, then he/she should be able to continue to have them on their device (though only your account will be able to download updates to those apps)

  • All songs selected will not transfer from iTunes to iPod

    Previously my iTunes transferred accurately to my iPod. My most recent additions to my library are a couple of audio books. Now, one of my music CDs will not transfer to my iPod and only the first 6 chapters of one of my books will transfer. The rest of the book won't transfer. I've tried unchecking items then updating iPod. Then re-checking the items and attempting to transfer. These items still won't transfer.

    Locate these tracks in iTunes, right->click on them and choose Get Info from the menu.  When the window comes up, head over to Info tab and make sure there is no tick mark next to "part of a compilation."  Then if necessary sync the updated changes to your iPod.
    You can see how your iPod is cnofigured to sync your music from under its Music configuration tab in iTunes.

  • How do i transfer all of my apps and media from an old account to a new one

    i am making a new account for myself i have another account thats for my family and i want to tansfer all of my media and apps to my new account. Thanks

    You cannot transfer anything from one account to another.  Purchases are always tied to the account from which they weere purchased.

  • I have a I-MAC and have used firefox, but lately it will not open from the dock, any suggestions?

    As stated above, have used Firefox from the dock for quite a long time, but recently it did not do anything when I clicked on it, just sat there. Have been able to get to it using spotlight, but even then have to go thru extra steps and go thru a step that says something like "this application was downloaded from the internet. Do you want to open it? YES/ NO " Any ideas ? Should I dump it and reinstall, and if so , how would I uninstall?
