How can I get my new ipod touch to work?

I have been trying to get the ipod touch (4th gen.) to work. I tried loading itunes v. 10.5 on my windows 7 but I kept getting an error message. After searching for answers, I found someone that told me to use v. 9.0 of itunes 64. I finally got itunes to work and registered my ipod. Later, I tried to upgrade to v. 10.5 but neither itunes nor quicktime would work right, so I ended up reinstalling the v. 9.0. The problem is that the computer shows the ipod under devices, but it is not coming up in the itunes menu under devices. When I ran the diagnostics (under help) it is telling me that there is no ipod. Is this a defective device? When I turn it on the only thing I get is the apple symbol. I'm totally confused.

You did install the latest iTunes (10.5) right? If the problem was that iTunes does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

How can I get my new iPod shuffle to work in my 2013 Honda Fit?

I keep getting an "unsupported device" display on the radio.

Are you connecting it to a USB port on the car audio system?
Does the car audio system have an aux. audio input mini-stereo jack? If so, you can get something like this
http://www.amazon.com/Monster-iCable-Player-Auxiliary-Input/dp/B002AR5XIK
and connect the shuffle's headphones jack to the car audio system aux. audio input, set the car audio system to use that input, and play the shuffle through the car audio system.

Getting a new iPod Touch to work

Hello,
I can't get my new iPod Touch to work, and I would appreciate help!
I bought an iPod Touch today. I turned it on and the Apple logo appeared, and then instructions to connect the iPod to a computer appeared on the screen. The screen was very dark and I could hardly see what was on it. I connected the iPod to my MacBook Pro. iTunes started and said that the connected iPod was in recovery mode and that I needed to restore it to factory settings before I could use it. At this point, the screen of the iPod was blank. iTunes could not detect the version of the software, the iPod's capacity or its serial number. I tried to restore the iPod but iTunes gave me an error message saying that an error happened. At this point, the iPod was completely unresponsive, and the only thing that I could do was restarting by holding the home and power buttons.
The iPod has been connected to my computer for an hour now, and the situation is still the same. Any idea of what's wrong?
Thanks in advance.

I got mine last week and it started up right away after pressing the home button. then I plugged it into my iMac and set it up. So your situation does not sound normal. I would try:If iPod touch won’t turn on, or if the display freezes or doesn’t respond
Â iPod touch may need charging. See “Charging the Battery” on page 22.
Â Press and hold the Home button for at least six seconds, until the application you
were using quits.
Â If that doesn’t work, turn off iPod touch and turn it on again. Press and hold the
Sleep/Wake button on top of iPod touch for a few seconds until a red slider appears,
and then drag the slider. Then press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple
logo appears.
Â If that doesn’t work, reset iPod touch. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button
and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Can I get a new iPod after it got ran over a car if I go to apple?

Long story short, I dropped my iPod touch 4 gen 32gb in the middle of the road and got ran over by a car. It still works but however the screen is cracked EVERYWHERE and there is a bump on the back. I dont have any warrenty with apple, but i did get it with walmart, i didnt log it in. idk if its still good anymore because i got my ipod like 2 and a half years ago. I am going to an apple store soon, but i need to know: Can they just give me a new ipod and transfer my memory to the new one? How much does it cost? Please help need feedback asap!

As long as the iPod isn't in multiple pieces, Apple can replace the entire iPod for a flat fee; see the Repair Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/faq/
You will need an appointment if you intend to go to an Apple Store. Whether they can transfer your content will depend on whether they can get the iPod to mount on one of their computers. If they can, you'll need to read this to get your iPod to sync with your computer without erasing everything:

Can i get the new iPod Touch with out the camera?

I was just wondering if i could get the iPod Touch 5th Gen with out the camera... i work in Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton, WA and we are not allowed to have cameras in the work area, i have an ipod touch but i think it is only 2nd gen, if i could get the new one with out the camera that would be awesome

No you can't and the 3rd gen has no camera and can run iOS 6
I don't believe that's correct. The 3rd gen Touch cannot run iOS 6.
See iOS 6 is compatible with at the bottom of this page; http://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/. The 3rd gen Touch is not listed.

I'm stumped, can't get the new ipod to work.

I bought a new ipod 30g after my mini started to die. I had no problems with the mini or itunes. Now I wan't to add the new ipod to my computer and I can't get it to work. I installed the new software and registered the ipod. But when I connect it to the cable it doesn't come up on itunes. So I guess what I'm wondering is if I have to uninstall the old itunes then reinstall the new software? And if I do can I keep my library?
Is there a way to have 2 ipods on 1 computer?
I'm not very computer savy and I've tried everything that I can think of.

Sure, easiest way to backup, is to move the songs onto another hard drive if you have another hard drive and enough space.
I burn data CDs and DVDs because lots more will fit on one disc than audio CDs.
Backing Up Music Files in iTunes
Always good to have a backup!
I've reinstalled numerous times and not lost my songs.
It is also a good idea to back up your library files so you can save your playlists, ratings, etc.
What are the iTunes library files?

How can I get my new IPOD Touch to turn on?

Just bought the latest IPOD Touch on Amazon.com. I charged the battery, but all I get when I hit the square power button is a picture of the ethernet cable and the ITunes symbol. I cannot get the IPOD to do anything else. What gives? Did I get a lemon?

Before you can use any of the iPod touch features, you must use iTunes to set up iPod touch. Plug it into a USB 2.0 port on your iMac (not a keyboard port) and iTunes should start and lead you through the process.
Look at the manual http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_2.2_UserGuide.pdf and read Chapter 1.

You can take your iPod to an Apple Store and ask, but they are not obligated to replace your iPod when you caused damage via an accident. Most likely you'll need to pay for the replacement.
Good luck.

How can i get a new iPod touch from the warranty it has if i lost it?

i have lost my ipod touch 5g, but i do have warranty. i just dont know how to do it online.

You posted in the iPad forum instead of the iPod forum. To get answers to your question, next time post in the proper forum. See https://discussions.apple.com/index.jspa I'll request that Apple relocate your post.

Can you get a new ipod touch for free if got stolen or lost?

so guys, i would really appreaciate the support from the community, and i do thank you all for helping out in answering this question.
i would like to know the when you know this would happen, why it would/would not happen, where did you get this info and how was it resolved

thanks for answering my questions cliftonfromrichmond and lllaass
@cliftonfromrichmond somethimes getting over things can occur alot of things situations. i had a friend who has been kicked out of the house for a reason, losing the apple product. it is not to get over with when it cost almost $300-$400 and don't forget everything in life is not for free. if you think i am wrong, why don't u ask a family to see how they treat their situation, if they were to lose the apple product. don't u say getting job and then go spend what ever you want. its not right! people nowadays are getting homeless due to spending and everything should be fair to the client. even though your try to save look at it this way the person needs to pay their university fees, food, clothes and all of the essential items"Get over it and move on" to me that sentence really hurts my friends feelings and myself. you think money is from a tree and you would just take. well,NO! use some common sense here. i don't want to be argressive or anything but like seriously, that is just too far, to me a youthful person would come and type that up. saying to move get over it. that is just really stupid of you to type that like seriously. i have learnt through out my experience to listen to mature adults. and it is my business due to that fact that he is living with me and this question is my FRIENDS question and i am answering his question right now!
@ lllaass well that link incorrect i do apologise. to find the call apple store. first type in the search bar 'lost and stolen' and when you scrool down you will see 'lost and stolen' please contact your apple store immediately. sorry if the quote is not exactly 100% but thank you

Can i get a new ipod touch battery for free?

My battery life is horrible and i dont know why... i let it die and charge everynight....... i hope that makes sense to you. Is there a way i could figure out if my ipod is being defectiveor not..thanks.

If the iPod is within warranty, not abused and defective, including the battery, then Apple will exchange your iPod with a refurbished one. Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to find out.
