That is because you cannot sync the iPod Touch to the iPad. It's not possible to connect the two devices in any way at all for any reason whatsoever.
if you want to download the same music that is on the iPod to the iPad, you can do that in iTunes in the purchased tab. If you want to have the same apps on the iPad, go to the purchased tab of the App Store and download the apps again. You can do the same with books in the iBooks app.
If you want to sync, Notes, Contacts, calendars, you can so that in Settings>iCloud - as long as you set up an icloud email account and turn those features on in the settings.
Perhaps, if you were to explain exactly what you want to do, we might be able to offer specific instructions.

    i don't understand how to sync settings in mail settings to fill lesser numbers of emails in my inbox

    OK and when I run desktop manager then what do I do?  There are no instructions after this setup with my mobile carrier, they just leave me hanging.  Also, is my phone going to be wiped or will it just update the OS?  I don't want to lose all my settings that took me hours to setup on this thing and have to redo everything all over again.  Backup?  I don't understand how to do that either (again all of this is new to me).  I don't have a second phone where I can call T-Mobile on the phone and have them walk me through it, I only have my cell that's it.  They refuse to give me instructions unless I'm on another phone when I call them, why they won't let me write them down is beyond me...these carriers are getting mighty picky these days on customer service/technical support.

    how to sync the ipod touch in a foriegn computer if the ipod is disabled ?

    Same basic way as if you connect it to your syncing computer.  However, you ned to restore to factory defaults/new iPod since there is not backup on the foreign computer.
    In both cases you have to place the iPod in recovery mode to bypass (an erase) the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

    You don't.  You synch your iPod to your computer.  There's no way to synch from iPad to iPod.  You can tranfer the same playlists to your iPod from the computer.

  • How to sync from ipod touch

    how do i sync my ipod touch with music on it from a diferent computer without deleteing the music on it.

    You need to move your music from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computers files/docs/pics/music/etc for this very reason.
    What's more,you can refer this article about how to transfer or copy music from iPod to computer, which included an easy guide to work out that.

  • How to sync a ipod touch to a different computer?

    Hi,
    I have a ipod touch and i used to sync it with a computer, then, the computer broked, so i tried to sync my ipod touch to another computer, but i can't (using same itune account). It said that if for example I sync the apps, then it would delete everything.
    Thank You

    If you sync your iPod with a different/empty library iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from the iPod to the computer and everything else on it will be erased. You'll find details on transferring purchases in this article: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    If you want to recover the music from CDs etc that is on the iPod and transfer it to your new computer there are a few things you can do. music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
    A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    One last thing, you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.
    Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.

  • Can I sync an ipod touch and an ipad separately to the same laptop

    I have an ipod touch and an ipad. Can I sync them to my computer so that each remains independant of the other. When I first attached the ipad to my computer the option to start as a new ipad or sync from my ipod's content were available. I did neither and just ejected the ipad. I guess my question is: if I choose to start as a new ipad will it wipe out the data from my ipod touch or will it create a new backup?

    I have three iDevices that I sync to one iTunes library and each device has its own unique content.
    If you are Windows - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Prefernces>Devices. Check the box at the bottom that says - Prevent iPods, iPhones, etc. ... From syncing automatically, click ok. Quit iTunes.
    Connect either of your devices to your computer and launch iTunes again. Click on the device name on the left side under the devices heading, now go into each and every tab of iTunes and select the content that you want to sync to that particular device. When you are done, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes. iTunes will remember what you selected for that device the next time that you sync,
    Eject your device, connect the other one and do the same thing. If you want -- turn auto sync back on using the procedure outlined above.

  • How to sync new iPod Touch to replaced Hard Drive?

    Okay, so I dropped my MB Pro and had to replace the hard drive... tragically, at the moment when my newest Time Machine backup is June 6 (long story, but I kept having the "Time Machine Drive is full" problem and never figured out how to get around it without buying lots of new drives).
    So... here I am with a new drive that, after I go buy a Torx 6 screwdriver, I'll have to reload with a fresh install of 10.6... and then piece together with what files I could salvage from the damaged drive... but then I just realized I'll have another problem.
    I have an iPad that I bought before the backup date, but which has changed content considerably since... and I have an iPod Touch that's only about two weeks old, but loaded with all my old songs, etc. and several new apps.
    HOW do I sync up the iPad and iPod Touch to the computer once the new but "June 6" drive is up and running? Is there a way to have all the changes on the iPad and iPod added back to the Mac, rather than forcing those two units to also go back to my June 6 backup profile?

    Google "Pod to Mac". It is available as both a freeware and paid software. It will copy the content of your iPod touch and most likely your iPad as well back to your Mac. Somethings, like photos, may not get copied back.
    As another potential backup, try Carbon Copy Cloner. You can use it to clone your hard drive making a restore much easier.

  • How to sync an iPod Touch after replacing the hard drive

    Hello,
    The hard drive on my second MacBook Pro failed, so we had a new one fitted.
    I recovered most of the data using Data Rescue, so I can grab the music files, photos, Pages files, etc.
    However I can't get the User data from the damaged drive, nor any of the software programs and serial numbers so I'm effectively starting again with just the software that comes with a 'new' Mac.
    The Apple ID on the iPod Touch is very similar to [email protected]
    When I launched iTunes for the first time on the MacBook Pro I entered that email address, but it seemed like a new account was started (?).
    I connected the iPod Touch to the MacBook Pro.
    The message I got was...
    "The iPod "Toby's iPod Touch" is synced with another itUnes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?"
    I clicked Cancel.
    What do I need to do to get iTunes to recognise this iPod Touch so it finds all the apps we bought for it?
    I have a funny feeling that we are logged in as [email protected] in iTunes, but this isn't the same account as the Apple ID of [email protected] on the iPod Touch. Or have I misunderstood something?
    Extra info: I think this computer was working with a User name of Chris Payne, but since it's had a new internal drive we've only set up an account called Toby Payne.
    I'd appreciate your help! Thank you!

    ""The iPod "Toby's iPod Touch" is synced with another itUnes library. Do you want to erase this iPod and sync with this iTunes library?""
    This is correct. There is no way around this. The ipod touch will sync with one and only one computer/library at a time. If you sync to another, it will indeed erase the current content and replace with the content from the new drive/library.
    You can transfer itunes purchases ( including apps) from the ipod. Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases

  • HT1386 I bought a new computer and I don't know how to sync  my ipod and the new itunes on my new computer, thanks :)

    Help please!!

    You cannot transfer from the iPhone to the computer.
    You must move the contents of your old computer to the new one directly.
    Use an external hard drive perhaps or restore your old computer backup to your new computer.
    The iPhone is not the source of your data, that is the computer, the iPhone is only a slave device to iTunes.
