No since you can only sync with one computer.

  • Can you use iCloud to transfer data from one iPod to another?

    Hi, I'm a newbie to Apple. I'm getting another iPod touch with bigger storage, the only data I care about is Clash of Clans. Can I use iCloud to back up the data, and restore it to the iPod I want? Please help, I don't want to lose my data without the right directions.

    Yes.  Back up your current device to iCloud, the when setting up your new one, restore it to this backup.  It will include your apps and app data (as well as other data and settings).  See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

  • HT1430 I already own an iPhone & have purchased and iPod touch for my husband. How can I have a  completely separate Apple ID for both of the devices?

    I have purchased an iPhone 4s 2 years ago and recently purchased an iPod touch for my husband while he was abroad working. I used the same Apple ID when setting up the iPod touch but now I want to know how I can have two separate Apple IDs. One for his iPod touch and one for my iPhone?

    Create a new ID and start using it.
    You will not be able to transfer your existing purchases and updates will require knowing the password for the old ID.

  • Hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch. i have bought apps off itunes and whenever i connect my ipod to my computer it syas that it is syncing.but the appa will not show on my ipo even though it has synced.how can i resolve this?

    hello, i have recently purchased an ipod touch.i  am having trouble with apps. i have bought apps off itunes but it wont appear on my ipod. i have synced the ipod with the computer multiple times but still no luck. i think it has something to do with my settings but i am not sure.please any helpwill be very much appreciated.thank you

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I recently purchased an iPod touch and it is not being recognized by my computer, iTunes is also freezing when I try to close it out.  Anyone have suggestions?

    I purchased an iPod touch for my husband, he was still using the first iPod classic. The iTunes has not recognized the iPod and iTunes is not working properly, it continues to freeze and won't close down properly.  Has anyone else run into this?  He has run the antivirus software, updated his Windows, uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes.  Nothing....any ideas?

  • I just purchased 2 ipod touch for my kidz.  and registered them both with my email.  I didn't know every text message I receive, they too would get on their IPod Touch.  HOw do I change this? And do I need to contact a Representative to add them

    i just purchased 2 ipod touch for my kidz (9 & 10 yr. old) .  and registered them both with my email.  I didn't know every text message I receive, they too would get on their IPod Touch.  HOw do I change this? And do I need to contact a Representative to add their own emails....?

    Can you connect to a wifi source on the device? Enable wifi in settings on the device itself. If you don't have wifi at home, there may be a local hotspot you can use for this.
    The reason this happens is carriers don't want people downloading huge files that would slow their network as well as eat up your data plan.

  • I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb

    I got a usb charger for my 4th gen Ipod touch that at first allowed my to charge and transfer music from my laptop to the Ipod now nothing happens when I plug the usb cord and Ipod into my laptop. Its mac so it is an apple system. I am wondering how I can fix this problem I am not very good with techy stuff so this is very confusing how it was working and it just stopped.

    Hi johnsmiff99,
    That is never fun when your iPod touch does not show up on your Mac. Take a look at the article below to walk you through on getting it to show back up on your iTunes. It is very easy to read so you wont feel overwhelmed with to much techy jargon. Let me know if you get this worked out.

  • IPod Touch 5th Gen sound really low when playing movies/tv shows from video app

    I just bought a ipod touch 5th generation for my daughter so she can watch her movies and tv shows that i purchased on itunes. On my iPhone 5S, I have no problems with the sound... Loud and clear. However with my new ipod touch, those same movies/tv shoes have really low volume. The sound while using Apps, Games and playing music are all fine. While playing from the video app, headphones are ok too... My problem is the sound from the speaker. I don't understand why all the other functions on the ipod that use sound is OK.
    I have already reset my ipod and reset all the settings too... still didnt work. Please help! Thanks

    The speaker is not that good but maybe yours is defective if you have the volume fully raised.
    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted and have a poor contact.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Check also Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing. Make sure that the sound balance is not set all the way to "R" or "R".
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem.

  • I recently purchased an ipod touch.

    The pc i was using has internet access, so i was able to d/l itunes. For the next 3 months (with my new pc) i cannot access the net. How can i get itunes onto my pc without internet access? The Apple call centre i contacted told me to burn a copy of "Itunes .exe" and install it on my new pc - which didn't work, by the way. Can I buy a "Hard" copy of itunes? My music is backed up onto cd. I need the itunes software on my pc to edit and create playlists, etc.
    Thankyou for your consideration
    Yours Sincerely
    James Faulkner

    There was apparently some miscommunication between you and Apple Support. The file you need is iTunesSetup.exe, the iTunes installer, not iTunes.exe which as you discovered will not work by itself (there are a number of files that need to be installed other than the iTunes application). You'll need to get that setup file somewhere, then copy that to your new computer and run it.
    Note that you will not be able to use any apps, movies, TV shows or iBooks on that new computer, nor use it to sync those items to your iPod, unless and until the computer can be connected to the Internet, at least briefly, so it can be authorized to your iTunes Store account.
    Regards.

  • Ipod Touch for my daughter...use my account or new one?

    Pro's and Con's to both.

    It is up to you. Using one account makes it easier to share apps. However, you have to add a new email address in
    Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached by, and
    Settings>Messages<Send and Receive At
    and delete the common ones from othat device.
