If your IPod Touch gets lost, stolen or broken and is replaced with a new unit, can the purchased software and media be reinstalled on the new IPod?

Yes, you can restore your new iPod from the most recent backup from the old iPod Touch.
It is also possible to re-download purchased media from the iTunes/App store.

Updated to os4.3.3 and to itunes 10.2.2 and ipod touch will no longer work (sync) to computer. I have removed all Apple Software and reinstalled and this did not fix the probelm

I updated my ipod touch 3rd generation to the new operating system 4.3.3 and itunes to the latest. I have a WindowsXP machine all was working fine until the updates. Since then after trying many things. Currently unable to transfer music to the ipod.

Found solution after trying many things that were recommended in the Apple error messages.
The problem was resolved after I totally removed my Security Software.

My ipod touch was recently stolen. is it possible to get the songs back i had without syncing to a computer as that is fried also?

Does itunes keeps track of all the songs that you buy from the itunes store?

If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy of your computer, not good, then you can reownload some purchases in some countries

My iPod touch was recently stolen, and I don't know how to locate it. What good would filing a police report with the serial number do?

I recently got my iPod touch fourth generation stolen. How do I get it back? I've heard of filing a police report and giving them my serial number, but what good would that do? I don't have any locater apps on it so I don't know what to do. Helpp!!!

If you did not set up Find My iPod on the unit before it was stolen, then there's no way to trace it. Whether filing a police report would accomplish anything I can't say, but it's all you can do. They might get lucky.
If you purchased the iPod with a credit card, check with your card issuer and ask if they offer any sort of loss/theft coverage. Some card programs do, and would replace the iPod for you.

Hi...My IPod touch was recently stolen. I have an Itunes account..can I retreive the serial number of my IPod Touch from my Itunes account? If, so...how may I do this. If I have the serial number, the local police can check the serial numbers at pawn shop

Hi...My Ipod Touch was recently stolen. In order to help the local police deptartment I need to supply a seria number for the Ipod. Of course, I did not wrtie down the serial number, but I have used he device on my Itunes account. My question: Is there a way to retreive the serial nuber of my Ipod touch from my Itunes account? Thanks you all....

Yes. See bold below
- 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.
- 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.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

I lost a lot of tracks while syncing my ipod touch with iTunes. I have managed to get some of them back with a free download, but iTunes will not let me dowload whole albums which I have paid for. It does recognise that they have been purchased. What do n

As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!

- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Ipod touch just lost all wi-fi capabilities. full new ipod restore did nothing to change it, can't retype passcodes etc because it does not even find any wireless network to join. thoughts?

ipod touch just lost all wi-fi capabilities. full restore as new ipod did nothing to change it. I cannot enter pass codes etc because there are no wi-fi networks found to join, despite other apple devices finding my wireless just fine, all sitting at same desk (and the airplane mode is off). thoughts?

Is this your problem?
iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
This is frequently a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I lost my iPod touch 32 GB a month ago, and today I got a new iPod touch 64 GB. While syncing it with itunes, I got my music library, books and purchased items back, but I didn't get my photos and videos.How can I get my old photos back in my new iPod?

Correct. When you update via iTunes all synced media that is not in your iTunes library will be lost.
As IO said before:
You can redownload most iTunes pruchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
I do not think it included audio books.

If an ipod touch is lost, stolen or broken and you get a new ipod can your software and media be installed on the new ipod?
