I just purchased an iPod Touch 5 for my brother for Xmas.  Can I transfer music from my computer to the iPod Touch without messing it up for him when he plugs it into his computer for the 1st time?  Dave

No since you can only sync with one computer.

  • Can you transfer music from a nano to a ipod touch?

    Can you transfer music from the nano to the ipod touch? how?

    After connecting your Ipod Touch to the computer and its icon appears in iTunes, you can choose Transfer Purchases from iPod (Ipod Nano) from the File menu.
    Or you can right-click (Windows or Mac) or Control-click (Mac only) your Ipod Touch in the iTunes Source list, then choose Transfer Purchases from the shortcut menu that appears.
    Please note that this feature only works for items that were purchased on the iTunes Store. Any items imported from audio CDs or acquired from other sources will not copy from your iPod or iPhone to the iTunes library.
    Hope that helps you out.

  • HT204074 How can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPod. I no longer have a Pc. It died and cannot be restored. It had iTunes with my entire music library on it.

    How can I transfer music from my iPhone to my iPad.?
    I no longer have a PC. Mine died and cannot be restored. It had iTunes with my entire music library on it.

    If you are running an OS of 5.0 or higher, you should be able to use the iCloud to sync both devices together & share music.

  • Can I transfer music from my iPad to my iPod nano without a laptop?

    I do not seem to be able to transfer music between Apple products. Both my iPad and my iPod nano have a lightening fitting but there do not seem to be any lightening to lightening cables around in order to transfer from my iPad to my iPod? I'm downloading music to my iPad from iTunes, yet I am unable to put these on my iPod which, as a dance teacher, is extremely frustrating. I've tried switching on the Bluetooth on both products to see if this works and it does not. I do not currently have a laptop, so please can someone advise as to whether I can actually share the music that I've paid for between my devices? I really hope so.

    You cannot transfer music directly between your iPad and iPod nano.
    To do what you want you need a computer.
    When you have one, sync both devices to the same iTunes running on that computer. This will also backup both your devices which you should do regularly anyway.

  • Can i transfer music from my ipad2 to my ipod classic?

    can i transfer itunes music from my ipad 2 to my ipod classic?

    You don't connect idevices together.  You connect them to your computer/iTunes...
    Connect device 1 to iTunes and sync.
    Connect device 2 to iTunes and sync, making sure you have the desired boxes checked for your music.

  • How can i transfer music from my IPad to my Ipod

    Can someone help me I don't know how to transfer my music from the IPad to my IPod nano
    Thanks

    Plug your iPad into a computer with iTunes.
    Transfer the music over.
    Plug your nano into the same computer-move the music onto it.

  • HT201269 Can I transfer music from my ipad2 to my iPhone 4S without a computer?

    Apple replaced my phone and lost all my music other than what was purchased on iTunes. My iPad still has all my music. My PC died 2 days ago so I have no computer. Can I transfer the music on my iPad to the new iPhone?

    I forgot to add, once you replace your dead PC (if you do), you can always get the music back from the backup of your PC - it would be in the itunes folder.

  • How can I transfer music from old mini to new iPod nano?

    I was buying a MacBook laptop for school next year, and also got a new nano nearly free! So, I currently have a PC which I use for my iPod mini, but I want to put my music library into the Mac and the nano. How can I do this?
    The PC "sent" songs into the nano but they were gray and not playable. I really just want to move the whole library to the Mac. Please help!
    Thanks.

    You can set up a network to transfer your files also you can use programmes to copy form your iPod to Mac click the link

  • My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine.  How do I get my account back?  Tried plugging it into his computer again.  No prompt to change account back to mine.

    Hi Trishw,
    At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

    Hi Gammer576775!
    Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue with your iPod touch:
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2771
    Will not power on, or will not turn on unless connected to power
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Connect the iPod touch to an Apple USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 15 minutes, if the display turns on and…
    The home screen appears, the device should be working. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen: . Then disconnect the device from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears even after the iPod touch has charged for at least 20 minutes: See the "iPod touch displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or low-battery image appears , continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPod touch did not turn on, reset it while connected to an Apple USB power adapter. If the display turns on, go to step 4.If the display remains black, go to the next step.
    Restore the device. Connect it to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes it and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPod touch. If the device doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring it, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPod touch resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring it did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

  • 1st generation ipod. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk w/a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  Each time I plug it in it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer.

    I have a 1st generation ipod, which I love. When I plug it into my computer an image of a disk with a magnifying glass appears (disk scan).  When it finishes the scan it always checks out. I then restart it and all looks fine. Each time I plug it in to the computer it does the same thing and it wont show up on my computer. The other strange thing is all of the songs are gone from the ipod but the disk space is still being used. When the ipod is not plugged into the computer everything look fine even the correct date shows up. Any ideas????? Thanks

    try reinstalling iTunes.
