I have a very old IPod Touch First generation, it has the majority of my music on it under a previous Apple ID. How can i transfer music?

I have a very old IPod Touch First generation, it has the majority of my music on it under a previous Apple ID, I recently Upgraded to an IPod 4, got myself a New Apple Mac and changed my Apple ID, Two of my old Computers are now broken and inaccessible, and my 1st generation IPod has exceeded the amount of computers it can be on. How can I deactivate the two broken computers and get all of my old music onto my new mac and my new IPod?

  • I have got an old ipod touch 2nd generation , IOS 4.2.1 and i want to update to IOS 5 or possible 6 ?? as my ipod is not compatible to any apps on the appstore

    I have got an old ipod touch IOS 4.2.1. and i need to update to 5 or 6 ??

    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was releases, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • My Ipod touch (first generation) won't update to the latest software.

    Hi, my ipod touch (first generation) still has the version 2 software and wont update to the 3? Everytime i plug my ipod into my computer, itunes keeps telling me it has the latest version, when obviously it doesnt. How can i update it? Because it wont update i cant download any applications. The internet and music and everything else works except i cant download apps.
    is it my itunes or the actual ipod? should i reinstall itunes? my itunes is up to date: 10.1.1
    Thank you.

    There is no other way to obtain the iOS 3.1 update, but it is available in the Irish iTunes Store; I'm looking at it right now (it's 3,99 Euros), and accessed it from the page I referenced above (both from a Mac and from Windows using both IE and Firefox). If it's coming up and saying that you need iTunes, something's amiss with how iTunes is installed on your system, or with your web browser; you might try a different browser.

  • My two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation has a faulty earphone socket

    Hi guys,
    I have a two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation which has developed a faulty earphone socket. When I plug in my earphones, the music is distorted if I have the volume over halfway. I also use it to supply all the background music for church every week and I am struggling to get a good mix with it turned down so as not to distort. The situation is that it was a gift to me and the person who purchased it in January no longer resides in the UK and now cannot find the original receipt. However, someone did tell me that as soon as I switched on the iPod and setup the Wi-Fi and GPS, it sent information to Apple??
    Question's are, is that true? Will Apple repair it without the original receipt?

    I have checked the warranty details online as you suggested and it says it is under warranty until the 7th January 2015. I then tried to explain what the problem was, but it kept asking me to enter my telephone number but as this is a USA website, it did not recognise my telephone number, also that the stores that I could take it into were all in the USA. Have tried to see if there is an UK option on the site, but as yet, no Joy.

    Try:                                               
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Can I update my Ipod touch first generation to iOS 4.3?

    I've had my 16 GB ipod touch first generation (With built in WiFi) since it was the newest model out. I would like to update to a newer model but money is tight. I was hoping someone could tell me if, and how, I can update my ipod to the latest software from Apple, so as to get apps and games and an overall fresher feel for the device. It is in very good shape, never damaged or serviced, and I still have close to 3 GB of room on it. I use it 99.5% for music storage and playage. I am brutally ignorant when it comes to keeping up to date with technology, and even moreso with apple, so any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

    There is no 8 GB 3G iPod.  When the 3G ipods were introduced, the 8GB 2G ipod continued to be sold with update iOS,

  • HT1386 I have just acquired an iPod touch 2nd generation 8gb. It says it syncs successfully with my computer (vista home) but will not down load albums I have bought in itunes and downloaded to my computer. Help!!!

    I have just aquired an iPod Touch 2nd Generation 8GB. When it is connected to my PC, running Vista home, it says it has synced successfully but I can,t transfer onto it an album I have bought and downloaded from iTunes. Help!!! This is my first Apple product so I have no experience and no manual.

    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer? If so you can only use the manual method and that only works with music and videos.

  • I have 3 iphones, an ipod touch and an Ipad on the same itunes account.  should I have a different account for each device?  If so how do I get all my purchases, like music on all the devices?

    You can sync as many devices as you want to the same iTunes account, there is no limit. You can have the same content on each device or different content, the choice is yours. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, including separate backups. I'd suggest giving each device a unique name, to make things easier.

  • I have just updated my ipod touch (third generation) and it has taken off safari, it has just dissapeared, what do i do

    I have just updated my ipod touch (third generation) and it has taken off safari, it has just dissapeared, what do i do

    Could be two things:
    - It is on a screen and you can't find it.  Try using the Spotlight search feature and search for Safari.
    - Somehow the restriction for Safari got turned on.  If on Safari is hidden and will not appear on the iPod even via search.  Go to Settings>General>Restrictions.
    - Also try resetting your iPod?
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
