I would like to erase my ipod touch and then resync it with my existing itunes library, is this possible?
I have a ipod touch that has a different library on it from an old (no longer usable) computer. I have another itunes library on my laptop that is very similiar but not exactly the same as the one on the ipod. Can I erase the ipod and sync it to the existing itunes library on this computer?
And once I do that can I also load my itunes library from my ipod to my new mac??
thanks
You can restore (via iTunes on your computer) your iPod to factory defaults/new iPod and sync it to any library you want.
You can transfer iTunes purchases from an iPod to any computer w/iTunes by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
You can use one of the third-party programs discussion this previous discussion to transfer non-iTunes purchases to a computer:
Best iPod to PC

I have an Ipod touch and recently added new music to my Itunes library. When I sync with the library, the new music does not show up on my ipod. The sync process seems to be working and there is still plenty of space on the Ipod for new music so I'm not sure what the problem is!
What happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?
iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
Do you have any Restrictions (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs? -

I have bought a new ipod touch and when i went to sync my music library on to it only a few songs went over, the ones that didnt had a ! next to them. I had no problem when using my last ipod touch but i was using a pc at the time not a mac though.
Hi there,
This usually meas that iTunes can't find the original files. I would recommend taking a look at the article below for some tips on locating that lost media.

would like to trace my ipod touch because I was robbed. I would find it please. need help from you guys. Not because I am able to get another. Thank you.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

Connect to your computer and open iTunes. Look for your iPod under the Devices heading in iTunes sidebar. Select the name field and rename it as you would any file.
If you don't have a sidebar showing then select Show Sidebar from iTunes View menu. -
As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?
As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?
Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:

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.

Hi, I have an iPod touch and am thinking of getting an iPhone to use as well, will I be able to use them both from the same computer or will there be some problems?
Yes. There is no limit to the number of iPads, iPods, or iPhones you can sync with one computer, iTunes library, or account. See this article for different ways to manage multiple devices.

My ipod touch broke then replaced it with a new one. I already dloaded iOS5 on the old one. When I connected my new unit it says it won't load the previous back because the new one is not up to date... Do I really have to download iOS5 again?
Yes, you have to update the iPod in order to retore from backup. The iOS on the "new" has to be aequal to r greater than on the iPod from which the backup was made. The iOS downloads are unique to an iDevice and model (the one for a 3G iPod will not work for a 4G iPod).

Hi, I was using my iPod Touch and then all of a sudden, the screen went black. So I held the on/off button and menu button to reboot it. So it turned off then back on but it has been stuck on the loading page for an hour. What's wrong with it?
- Let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an hour try here:

bought games and music on my ipod touch and then bought a new mac, but i updated my ipod on the new mac and lost all of my games and music and they arent on my computer or my ipod touch:( The apps i bought are not on my old computer either!! please help!!! I don't want to buy them all again!!
- You can redownload yur apps at no additional cost. See:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
- You only get one download of music and it is up to you to make a backup. However, sometimes if you explain what happens the iTunes store may allow a redownload of music. You can contact them by starting here and selecting the appropriate topic:

I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields. Is that possible?
I would like to use Formcentral form data to populate a pdf with the same fields. Is that possible?
Randy,
We have an application that I would like to have in Formscentral. That application is also in a larger PDF file that once filled in populates all the other forms below it (lease, credit check form, ect). If the Application on Formscentral keep the same field names as the pdf can I pull the data from formscentral and sill populate the old application pdf so that all the forms below it will be also populated.
