I can't restore my iPod from the iCloud- HELP!

I just got a new iTouch because my old one broke.  I'm trying to back it up from iCloud but when I select "restore from this backup" and select the name of my old iTouch, I get this error message: 
The backup "..." cannot be restored to this iPod because the software on the iPod is too old.  To restore this iPod from this backup, you must first set up the iPod as new and restore the software to the latest version.
I set the iPod up as new, but it hasn't offered any software updates and I don't know how to look for updates.  Thanks!

What model was the old iPod?
What model was the new iPod?
The new one has to be same or newer model than the old iPod

Then update the iPod by going to Settings>General>Software Update
After upodated go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting. \When done setup by restoring from iCloud backup

  • HT1414 How can I restore my CONTACTS from the icloud

    How can I restore my CONTACTS from iCloud ??

    You re-sync them by setting up your iCloud account under Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars, and turning on the 'contact sync', assuming that's what you were syncing them with before.  If you were not syncing them with iCloud (syncing is NOT the same as backing up), then you will have to re-sync them from whatever you were syncing them with.

  • TS4036 Can I restore my iTunes from the iCloud on a PC?

    I recently lost my hard drive and had to get a new laptop. I had everything backed up to the iCloud but the only thing being restored to my iTunes are the things I purchased on iTunes.  I had some CDs that I had imported from friends that are no longer there.  Is there any way I can restore a laptop iTunes from the iCloud?

    The backup only includes music purchased from the iTunes store.  (It actually doesn't include the music, it just redownloads it from the iTunes store when you restore the backup.)  Music in your iTunes library is expected to be in your itunes library.  If your hard drive failed and you don't have a backup of your iTunes library, the music imported from your CDs is gone and will have to be reimported.

    How to restore from a backup
    To restore information from a backup, use one of the following methods after connecting your iOS device to the computer with which you normally sync:
    Right-click (or Control-click) the device and choose Restore from Backup
    If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup

  • Can I restore MY RATINGS from the library.xml file alone?

    That's the question - Can I restore MY RATINGS from the library.xml file alone?
    Some facts to consider before replying:
    1. I do not have the ITL file, so that solution is out.
    2. My ipod was restored so NO ratings there either.
    3. So far I have only seen programs to use BEFORE losing your itunes library. IF YOU KNOW a third party's program can help me AFTER THE FACT then tell me about it.
    4. I HAVE searched these forums for previous threads. (a) searching engine needs big help and (b) among the 2 dozen finds, no solution for "only XML" found. If you got THAT threads url, post it!
    So, using an old library.xml file, is there a way to get this info into itunes.
    thanks

    there is mention of a hta
    script, SaveRatings.hta , that saves and restores
    the xml data.
    The save button worked just fine. ..........
    Turns out the restore button works just fine too when I dont toss in my homemade ratings.xml before clicking restore;-)
    more explained at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=587586&tstart=0
    anyway Otto's saveratings is a excellent tool to have on your drive. Unless you like re-rating 1400 or 1500 rated songs...........

  • HT201272 Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store

    Having a bad day my iTunes library got corrupted and my back up disk has failed how can I restore my purchases from the iTunes store? When I try it tells me the pruchases have already been downloaded to this computer.

    Does your purchased rmusic appears under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) ? If they do and you don't have the cloud symbol against them so as to re-download them, then do you still have the entries for them in your library i.e. where you would normally click on them to play them ? If you do then try deleting them from there (iTunes will be seeing them and assuming that you still have them somewhere) and they should then get the cloud symbol for re-downloading in the Purchased link.
    If you aren't in a country where music can be re-downloaded then you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page,

  • Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

    Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

    The five number is the number of computers that can authorized to use a single iTunes account.  You can syncan unlimited number of iDevices t one iTunes account.  You need to find one of the five computer that you not longer want authorized for the iTunes account and then deauthorize that computer.  If you computer crashes and you have to reinstall the operating system the "old" installation still remains authorized.  To cover that case Apple allows you to deauthorize all computer one a year so then you can authorize the needed computers.  See:

    Hi! how can I delete a book from the iCloud? I bought the wrong book ... is for adults and I have kids...so

    The most comprehensive delete method I know about is to delete the book from iTunes on the computer you sync your iPad with.  You'll be asked if you're sure, and it will be deleted from your iPad and any other i-Device you sync to.
    I think that's the best you can do.

    If your Nokia comes with some sort of software that you can sync with Adddressbook or something else, or can export as comma or tab delimated then you do that then import that file into address book on your mac.
    then sync from iTunes to your new 4S

  • How can I delete tv shows from the iCloud on my Apple TV?

    I recently purchased Apple TV (3rd gen) and need to delete a tv show that appears there.  There's no trash can icon on the screen as some posts state--just an iCloud icon.  How do I delete an item from the iCloud so it will no longer appear on the Apple TV?

    You can't hide it AFAIK on AppleTV - do it via iTunes.
    In iTunes elect the store home page, and choose Purchases in teh QuickLinks on the right.
    Choose TV Shows and hover over the one to hide and there should be a small x to hide it.
    If you need it back go into your actual account settings in iTunes and choose to unhide there.
