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.

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 for my classroom. Can I use homesharing to transfer data from an app to my student's computers?
No since you can only sync with one computer.

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 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. -
I just recently got an iPod touch 5 and it won't let me download apps. It says they are free but when I install it , it keeps popping up saying before purchasing I must tap continue to verify my purchase something like that. Idk what to do. !!!!!
Yes. You can set the payment method to "None" once you log into iTunes on your PC/Mac. I have it set up this way.

I recent recieved and Ipod touch model A1213 and i cannot figure out how to get apps on it. I have tried everything i can think of and when i try to update my ipod software it tells me that its already up to date. even though its only 1.1.5. How do i fix it?
You have a 1st generation iPod Touch.
It can be updated to 3.1.3 by purchase. See here Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation) -
I recently bought an Ipod touch 2nd gen, (Ebay). It's in great shape and seemed to be wiped clean.
When I connect (via windows computer) to Itunes with usb cord the Ipod icon shows, but the only function you can do is eject. When its in the upper right hand corner and you click on it all you get is a done button, when it's in the side bar right click and your only option is eject, left click has no effect. If I go to "file">devices it's as if there are no devices connected.
I purchased a song with Itunes on the Ipod itself, and it transferred to my library on the computer automatically .
I have an Iphone 5 and a nano that are still functioning with Itunes thru computer so I'm thinking the issue is with the Ipod touch. I've reset it several times, rebooted it, with no change.
nothing on the internet has helped, I called tech support and got disconnected. Should I take it to a retail store? I just don't know where to go next, I'm of course willing to pay for tech or repair. looking for suggestions.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 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.

I purchased an ipod touch, 4th generation recently and have discovered that I cannot "just add" internet to this all the time (for a fee). Silly me, I thought I could. So, can I return this, perhaps for an iphone?
Also you can get mi-fi a mobile wireless hotspot to connect from anywhere (for a monthly fee) that gets 3G or 4G data signals. See http://www.google.com/search?q=mifi+hotspot&sourceid=ie7&rls=com.microsoft:en-US &ie=utf8&oe=utf8

I had recently updated my Ipod touch to the newest version 11.1.3 and my Ibooks app is no longer on on their. Hence I am in the middle of reading a book and am now very frustrated. How do I get it back on their?
-Serious help only, please and thank you.I do not understand what iTunes on your computer has to do with the iBooks app in your iPod.
You can only read iBooks on an Apple computer with the newers, Mavericks, operating system.
You can redownload the iBooks app for the iPod by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
i recently updated my ipod touch 4th generation to version 6.1 and it's awful it didn't restore my music, videos or any of my apps.!!!! it only restored my photos and that's it! im also noticing that it updated as if it was an iphone. help!!!
The iPod backup that iTunes makes does not inlcuded synced media like apps and music. If that media is not in the iTunes library then it is gone after the update/restore.

Purchased an ipod touch for my daughter and the imessage and face time will not accept password. Everything else works ie, apps. Am i doing something wrong? Password works for everything else.
Try changing your password and trying the process again. Since you recently purchased the iPod tough, you can calle apple technical support 800-694-7466.
Let me know if you have any other questions.

I see there is no way to change the security questions i set up when I first purchased my ipod touch. All the answers I get do not work. Can't by another device until I get around this issue.
Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends! -
I have my iTunes on my PC and have an iPod Classic, I have just purchased an iPod touch and want to load all of my Itunes music onto it, how do I do this and not loose my library, I'm not very computer savvy.
You sync music the same way as on the Classic. What you sync to an iPod does not effect the iTunes library on your computer.
