Ipod stolen - can I sync all my stuff to new one?

My iPod Touch was stolen. It's unlikely I'll ever get it back, but my boyfriend got one free recently, so he offered to give it to me. Mine was a first generation, his is a second generation.
His is synced to his iTunes account, and has a few apps on it. If I reset his to the factory defaults, will I be able to transfer my apps, music, etc. to it without any trouble? I would basically like to clone my former iPod. If I can't do this, please let me know - it would be un-generous of me to wipe his iPod for no reason.
God, I hate these things!

You can sync the new one using the back ups from the stolen one. when you first sync it it will ask you if you want to sync it as a new iPod, or from a back up.

  • My iPod Shuffle can't sync all the music in my playlist at once!

    I have a two year old iPod shuffle and starting now, it can't sync all the content at once! It can only sync one song every time I press autofill. I don't want to restore it; it would take a long period of time. Please give me some tips on how to resolve this issue. Thank you!

    Make sure that autosync is disabled in iTunes, connect to your new iTunes, right click on it in the device list and choose "transfer purchases" This will copy all apps and bought media to your computer.
    After that, right click again, this time choose "backup" to save your app data and other settings.
    Make sure to have at least one contact and event set up on your computer before your sync for the first time.
    Your ipod will be erased, but you can restore it from the manual backup you made before.

  • IPOD stolen, can I sync new ipod or itouch with library

    My Ipod was recently stolen. Can I sync a new ipod or itouch with the itunes library I backed up for my original ipod?
    Thanks

    Hey there,
    Yes you can. Just go ahead and hook it up to your new computer and go through the registration process and sync away if the backed up music is already imported into your new library. Hope this helps.

  • I have used my current iTunes 5 times on different iPods through loss and breakage etc. I have my 6th iPod, how can I sync all my current music onto it if this iTunes has come to it's limit of devices?

    Through damage, loss and resetting computers, my iTunes has synced itself to 5 devices (which I believe is the max) but I currently have my 6th iPod touch and need to know how to keep all this music and put it onto this other iPod. Do I create another Apple ID? Is it possible?

    You can have 10 devices associated with your iTunes account for iCloud purposes. See:
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID
    You can have five computers authorized for one iTunes account. See:
    iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
    Just what are you trying to do and what message do you get?

  • Crashed Hard Drive, how can I sync music from Iphone to new one?

    I understand that the iPhone is intended only to sync with only one computer and for that reason it won't allow me to transfer my music from my iPhone to another computer. Problem is my old hard drive died (along with all my music inside).
    How can I transfer the files that are on my iPhone to the iTunes on my new hard drive? I do not have any other back ups as I assumed the iPhone would serve as a back up device itself.

    I assumed the iPhone would serve as a back up device itself.
    That was a pretty bad assumption. The iTunes content sync is one way: Computer to phone. Apple makes no provision to get content off your phone and into your iTunes library, as it's expected that you backup that library, and no, the iPhone is not a backup device, not designed as such and never intended to be such.
    For purchased music from the iTunes store, you can File>Transfer Purchases, before syncing and after you've authorized your computer Store>Authorize this Computer. Music ripped on your own or photos synced to your phone will have to be extracted using third-party software before you do anything else:

    I had my ipod synced to an old computer that I no longer have how can i get all my stuff on the new itunes without erasing it

    Most Windows users don't.
    Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
    Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

  • How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    How can I get all the stuff from my old iPad 2 to my new iPad 2? I have an apple id and have synced and backed up my old iPad 2 regularly.

    Sky is right you can restore the old backup and it will not affect the old iPad
    To make sure do this:
    1. If you have the old one then just turn off wi-fi and the iPad (that's just for your peace of mind)
    2. Put new iPad on airplane mode (just for no interruptions )
    3. Connect it (while it's on, don't shut it down)
    4. Follow prompts and when it asks if you want to setup as new or restore CHOOSE: RESTORE
    5. It will make its magic (just wait for it to sync, restarts, and finishes) it might ask you to update software if it does just accept
    6. You can rename your new iPad like that you can have a fresh back up
    7. ENJOY your new iPad
    ----------OR-----------
    1. Do the above steps 1, 2, 3.
    2. On step 4 you can choose to set up as new
    3. Then you can choose what to sync on it (click on iPad on the left panel then the tabs on top you choose what you want on it (you can also do that if you restore)
    4. Follow steps 5, 6, 7.
    ****If you don't have your old iPad you can remove it from your account ****
    ****Also when they sync it to a new computer it will setup as new unless they had an old one then they will restore it their old one****
    ****if you have it connected with your MobileMe or iCloud and you have the find my _____ you can also wipe it as soon as it comes online****
    LET ME KNOW IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS
    AGAIN ENJOY YOUR NEW IPAD!!!

    Have a classic 5th gen. have restored, relaoded itunes, gone through the troubleshooting tips and I still can't sync my latest 3 albums to my ipod. It will sync all but those. Also, when go through ipod trblshoot and select check for sync, says can't see my ipod. pls help

    Thanks for the reply. The Itunes trouble shooting in Itunes help. I don't get an error message, it just states can't see ipod like if it wasn't plugged in. I do get an error message on a few of the songs when sync that say error 50, and state that they can't be loaded to ipod. The weird thing is that I can load all of my libary except the latest 3 albums. They are in my libary but they won't load. I'm not sure but it seems like it started when the cloud came about from amazon which is where I buy most of my music.
