I need to get my iPod touch 4 and iPad 1 in sync from 2 different computers

I have a very specific situation that I've been unable to find an answer for.  Please help!  Here's my current situation:
I've synced my iPad to my iMac G5 PowerPC using my AppleID account that I always use.  I've synced my iPod touch 4th gen to my iBook G4 using the same account.  I thought that after signing in under that ID, I would be able to download the apps that I already purchased for iPad on the iBook.  I found out that was not the case and trying to sync my iPad(in it's current iMac-synced state) to the iBook would result in the erasure of everything on it.
What I would like to do is be able to start syncing my iPad with the iBook but not lose anything.  And then beyond that, have my iPod and iPad both in perfect sync-same apps, same everything.  Can I do this?

The iBook is running which OS X version?
In regards to iTunes content, an iPad, iPod Touch, and iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and photos can be transferred from a single computer. When transferring iTunes content and photos from another computer, all iTunes content and photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the device first.
You can re-download 3rd party apps and you won't be charged again for a paid app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the app that was used to purchase the app originally.

    Hey Hallmarie, leave it turned off, do not attempt to charge or use. Place it in a sealed back of uncooked rice for at least 7 days, change the rice ever couple of days and hope for the best. After it has dried attempt to turn your iPod on. You may need to charge for 30 minutes, keep a close eye on it during this charge, if you hear noises, crackling, popping or hissing, or something smells like burning rubber or plastic, or you see smoke or it get very hot, unplug your iPod ASAP! and do not use; all signs your fried it. You may need to Reset or Restore or use DFU recovery mode to get it work, and when your all done this iPod may never work again. But for a couple of bucks worth of rice... worth a try. If you do get it to work the first thing you want to do is make a full set of backups, no telling how long it will work. Hope this helps, but be prepared to buy an out of warranty replacement. Good luck. Cheers.

    Given that this is the iPad forum, most of us have probably picked the iPad. If you asked in the iPod Touch forum, most people there would probably have picked the iPod Touch.

    Only iTunes purchased music can hava a cloud icon and then only if the music was purchased with the account listed in Settings>iTunes and App Store on the iPod.
    Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
    Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
    If so have you done anything like update iTunes on the computer since it last successfully synced?
    Do the songs play in iTunes?          
    Does any media now sync to the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

    Hey, I have an iPod Touch 4G and iPad 2 that are both running. 4.3.5 and I am trying to update to iOS 5. I downloaded it for both devices and clicked update, it backs up the device, extracts software, and then say verifying restore with Apple.

  • How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email?

    How do I get iMessage on my Mac and iPad Mini to send from my phone number instead of email? I've signed out and signed backed in on all devices but it still doesn't work. Phone number shows up on my iPhone only. Apple support article does not help, the screen don't even match mine.

    Hi believer924,
    Happy Holidays!  What version of Mac OS are you working with?  The article below will explain how to confirm your phone number is linked to your Apple ID for iMessage.  On your Mac, you should be able to remove the checkmark in front of your email address in the "You can be reached by iMessage at" and "Start New Conversations from" sections of iMessage settings.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
    Your iPhone telephone number is linked to your Apple ID when you sign in to FaceTime or iMessage. This allows you to use your iPhone number with FaceTime and iMessage on other iOS devices.
    This feature isn't available on iPod touch (3rd generation) and iPad (1st generation).
    This feature is available with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8.2 or later.
    On OS X, find out which addresses are enabled:
    In Messages, choose Messages > Preferences > Accounts. Select iMessage in the left column. Your contact preferences should appear under "You can be reached for messages at:."
    OS X:
    Phone number missing on OS X
    If your phone number isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of OS X on your Mac.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you're using on your iPhone.
    Sign out of your Apple ID at these locations on your Mac:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Open FaceTime and Messages, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.
    If your phone number still isn't listed on your Mac, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign out of your Apple ID on your Mac at the following locations:
    Messages > Preferences > Accounts tab. Click iMessage in the left column, then click Sign Out.
    FaceTime > Preferences. Select your Apple ID, then click Sign Out.
    Close FaceTime and Messages on your Mac.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Open FaceTime and iMessage, then sign in to your Apple ID in Preferences.

  • Why does downloaded videos from iTunes freeze for a few minutes and then continues. this happen with my iPod Touch 4G and iPad 2.

    When I try to watch downloaded TV and Movies from iTunes they will pause for a minuite or 2 and then continue. I have an iPod Touch 4G and an iPad 2. Both have the same problem when trying to watch the shows. Plus. When I try to watch the iTunes TV and Movies on my Windows 7 Desktop the audio is never in sync and usually stops playing.

    Im having the same problem with my g4 iPod touch and it is driving me nuts. The freezes happen with downloaded movies ON my ipod, not my computer so these suggestions won't work. I read that the same problem is happening with rentals. I would love to know why this is happening. I would like some answers... and a way to fix it.

  • If I need to get my iPod fixed but I live too far away from an Apple store, can I mail it to them?

    I've been having issues with my iPod Touch 5th generation, not due to wear or abuse, and my search has led me to make an appointment at the Genius Bar at an Apple Store. The nearest Apple Store to me is over 3 hours away. Is there any way I could mail it to them to get fixed or replaced? Or do I have to have to drive all the way there to have it looked at in person?

  • HT1414 getting an ipod touch 5 and selling my ipod touch 4, will all my apps and notes be put into my new ipod that i'm getting?

    Like will all my app information (like my secret diary) and especially all my notes that include lyrics and stuff be put onto my ipod touch 5?

    So, before you get rid of your old device go to attach your device to itunes and go file-devices-backup.  Additionally you can go to settings-icloud-storage and backup and select back up now. When you have your new device you can "restore from backup".  If you're using itunes to set up your new device it will prompt you to restore it from your most recent backup.  iOS: How to back up

  • Ipod touch 6 and iPad 2 not anymore listed in itunes (Vista)

    Good morning,
    neither my ipod touch (6. generation) nor iPad 2 is listed in iTunes 10.5.3.3 (Windows Vista) since 1 week. No system change done.
    iPad is visible only if I choose WLan Snc.
    All USB ports work with other devices. Both iPad and iPod are visible in Win Vista.
    Every idea is welcome...

    I meant 6 th generation ipod nano touch. Ok anyway, problem was solved by complete deinstallation of iTunes only. After new installation everything is okay without havng touchsd hardware, cables etc.
    Thanks anyway...
