I restored my ipod touch however the apps will not sync.  I tried to re-download but I changed my apple id as my old id is no longer a valid email address.  Any ideas out there please?

It might be logical to someone, but not to me. I agree it's a pain.
How did you change your Apple ID? Creating a new one is not what you want to do, but if you changed the ID associated with your purchases then that might have worked. You would need to sign in with the Apple ID on both your iPod Touch as well as in iTunes. I'm not sure how you changed it but clearly they need to match.
If it's just your password that is not getting recognized reset it here: http://iforgot.apple.com/
It will send an email confirmation to the email address associated with that Apple ID. The email address you elect to use might not look anything like your Apple ID. If you don't appear to get an email check your spam filter.

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

  • IPod touch 3G - activation required, will not sync properly, freezes up windows 7

    Hi,
    I am having a lot of trouble with my iPod touch 3G.
         I had not synced my iPhone 4 and my iPod touch for about a month as I was re-inputting my music into iTunes - I didn't want to sync them when not all the music I wanted would be synced onto them. Prior to syncing the devices, one day my iPod randomly displayed the "activation required" notification and the "connect to iTunes" screen. Neither my iPod nor my iPhone is jail broken, so this cannot be the cause of the deactivation. All I use my iPod for is plugging into my stereo system.
         Regardless, I had finally managed to sort through all my music and had managed to sync my iPhone with no hitches. However, I ran into various issues with the iPod. A pop-up in iTunes said that it detect the device but could read it and that I would need to restore my iPod. So I did so (restored to the back-up). However, not even a third of the way into the restore everything just seemed to stop. My screen went black with only the mouse flickering. I restarted my computer and tried restoring it again (again to the back-up). It got further this time and actually managed to sync some songs (around 70 out of 850). However, a pop-up appeared saying that iTunes could not write from the song or disk. So I unplugged my iPod and plugged it back in and it immediately slowed down my computer. Chrome would not respond, Shockwave crashed, iTunes would not respond, etc.
         Anyways, over the past couple days I have tried restoring the iPod (to factory settings) and that seems to have worked. I no longer have the constant "activation required" notification. iTunes seems to be having trouble syncing though. It will get a couple more songs synched and then display another pop-up saying that it could not write from the song files and then the synching process just gets stuck. The iPod no longer displays the synching icon, but iTunes remains stuck on "finishing sync".
    (The problem cannot be with the songs as they sync perfectly fine to my iPhone).
         On my iPod it shows all the songs which are/should be synched onto it. The synched songs appear in black (like normal) however, the majority of my songs are in a light grey and cannot be selected or played (basically it has the information about the song, but not the actual file itself). I can also use Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. They are both greyed-out and say "No Wi-Fi" or "Unavailable" respectively.
         Just as a note, I am on Windows 7 and have McAfee Antivirus Plus. I know that some people have some issues due to the firewall but I unsure as to how this could be the cause when my iPhone syncs perfectly well under the same conditions. I have iTunes 10.7.0.21 and my iPod is running on 5.1.1. If you need any additional information please ask!
    If someone could please help, I would be extremely grateful! I'm at my wits end.
    Thanks!

    See if disabling the antivirus and firewall resolves the problem.

  • HT201412 ON MY iPOD TOUCH 4g, THE SHUTTER WILL NOT OPEN, SO I CAN NOT USE MY CAMERA. HOW DO I RESET IT. i HAVE TRIED TURNING OFF/ON, RESETTING IT AND RESTORING IT, NOTHING HAS WORKED. HELP!!

    On my Ipod Touch 4G, the camers shuter is stuck closed. I have reset it, restored it, turned it off/on, nothing has worked. Operating system is up to date. This has been an issue for a while, but it normally fixes itself.

    Try here:

    Also try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore via iTunes.  For recovery mode see:

  • I have songs in my iTunes library that I burned from CD's. They play in iTunes and will sync with my iPad. They play fine on the iPad.  However, the songs will not sync to my iPhone 4S.  There are now exclamation points next to songs (can't find source).

    I burned cd's in iTunes. The songs were able to sync and play on my iPad. After this, exclamation points appeared in iTunes on my laptop (unable to find source).  They still play in iTunes but will not sync with my iPhone 4S.  Do some cd's have a limit on the number of times you can copy them or is this an iTunes problem.

    KiwiLouisa - I had the same problem.  I was eventually able to distribute my content that was "Not eligible for iCloud" to my iPhone by switching off ITunes Match in both the ITunes app/machine that hosts my library (my Macbook Pro, in this case) as well as on the device to which I wished to distribute my content (my iPhone 6+).  This opened up the option for my device iTunes Music settings for selecting "Entire Music Library".
    After I successfully transferred *ALL* my music and music videos via iTunes sync, I then again switched on ITunes Match in iTunes on my Macbook and on my iPhone.
    This does not change the iCloud status, but at least I have the content on my iPhone.

  • HT4906 I cannot enable Photostream on my iBook though it's active on my iPad - any ideas out there please?

    I cannot enable Photostream on my iBook though it's active on my iPad - any ideas?

    If your iBook supports Mt. Lion and iCloud and you are correctly signed in to the same iCloud account on your iBook that the iPad is signed into try the following:
    Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
    and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
    Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
    NOTE: You mention iBook in your post but your profile indicates MacBook.  Which is it an is it running Mt. Lion?

  • HT1386 ipod touch 3.1.3 will not sync. When I connect it through the USB Iphotos pops up. How can I get it to sync?

    I have tried to restart my computer, restart my Ipod touch and downloaded the latest Itunes and it will still not snyc to itunes. It opens up Iphoto everytime. My computer recently crashed and I took it into Apple and now have version 10.5.8. Could that be the reason? It was working before.

    Try here:
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
    It is normal and expected for iPhoto to open since that is how you get the saved photos off the iPod.

  • New iPod Touch (4th generation) - Music will not sync

    I just bought an 4th generation iPod Touch.  When syncing my from my Windows PC to the iPod everything syncs perfectly - photos, contacts, bookmarks - but not my music files.  The music sync box is checked.  The playlists are hightligthed, but no luck.  Any ideas why I am having this problem?

    The songs were either purchased through the iTunes or imported from old CDs.  This is a replacement iPod as my old Clasic died.  All the songs I wanted downloaded fine to the Classic.  In addtion, I have an iPad and an iPhone 5 and the songs synced to them just fine.

  • IPod Touch 4th Gen. WILL NOT sync!!

    When i try to sync my ipod touch to my itunes it skips the process and says:
    itunes could not back up the ipod 'Renae's iPod'because the backup was corrupt or not compatable with the ipod. Delete the backup for this ipod, then try again.
    my ipod still shows up that its charging and comes up in my itunes but it wont sync.
    i have already deleted the backup files for the ipod but it STILL won sync!!!!
    The only thing that i can think of is when it was syncing earlier and my battery died and my laptop turned off.
    -thats all that might have gone wrong.
    Can someone PLEASE help me! i really want to sync my ipod and i have tried everything!!!!
    deleting backup on the ipod did not help! so can someone else????

    Did this happen after updating to iOS 5 or 5.0.1?  Sometimes updates cause this type problem with some car systems.
    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

  • IPod Touch, 16GB, Generation 5, will not sync with my computer?

    I purchased an iPod Touch, 16GB, Generation 5 from Wal-Mart. I've tried everything from re-installing iTunes to rebooting the computer and iPod. However, even after clicking Trust, it won't fully trust my computer as well as iTunes isn't recognizing it. For reference, I'm using a Windows 8, Dell PC, and iTunes is fully up to date.
    It will download music from the store on the device itself, and iTunes recognizes when the purchases are made on the device, but it still won't sync it.

    Try:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components

  • Songs Purchased on iPod Touch WiFi iTunes Store Will not Sync Back to PC

    I bought a few songs on the WiFi iTunes store on my iPod Touch today. When I connect the iPod to the computer, it syncs as normal, but the songs I bought are not transferring over. I tried right clicking on the iPod section and pressed "Transfer Purchases" but still nothing happened. The songs are still on the iPod, the computer is just for some reason not seeing them.
    Help?

    When Apple designed the first iPod, they decided to screw people over by making sure the iPod could not be used as a mobile storage/transfer device. To summarize, Apple made it so that an iPod with a lot of music can't transfer its music to an empty iTunes library as to keep people from getting music for free. (Obviously, Limewire was not created at that time.)

  • My ipod touch 4g ios 5 will not sync auto with itunes

    I recently downloaded ios 5 to my ipod touch 4g but now it won't auto sync with itunes. I have tried every thing!!

    After reading all the discussions I have decided the fault lies with the new ios 5 and until Apple comes up with a fix I will not resolve it. I also read in these discussions about problems with Audiobooks not showing up as audiobooks in itunes but as music. As an audiobook reader here is what I have discovered: I have an audible.com acct and so far I have noticed no change when I purchase and download a book from that site. The problem comes when I use Overdrive Media which uses DRM and WMA format. These show up in itunes but not in my ipod which means I can only listen to them on my pc or laptop.
