IPOD touch. converting from itunes on a PC to itunes on a MAC

What do i have to do to get my music all dumped on to my new macbook if the only itunes i've been using was on a PC?

Hey Dan,
This article should walk you through the process. It will be easiest with another iPod like an iPod classic or video but the article provides other options also.

Corrupt song on iPod Touch downloaded from iTunes

How do I get rid of it? And then get the uncorrupted file from iTunes? And what does the iCloud has to do with this?
(digression: I tried to get help through "Report a Problem" button, but I ended up wasting 45 minutes with Apple Support pages and could find no way to get to a real Support page. And so I am trying here.)

I fixed it myself. I "deleted" the songs from iTunes on computer into the iCloud. Then "hid" the songs from my Purchase list in the iTune store. Then I "unhid them" on iTunes store and redownloaded them from iCloud to iTunes on computer. Then did a Sync of my iPod Touch with iTunes on computer. Now my 4 songs are playing without stuttering and stopping.

IPod touch removed from iTunes while updating.

Hi,
I have an iPod touch 3rd Generation that I was updating to iOS 4.1, and in the middle of installing it I accidentally unplugged it from the Mac. The iPod is now only showing the update screen, and I cannot turn it off. I can not sync it back to iTunes 10.
Please help me!

SOLVED IT!
Soft reset ur ipod / iphone (sleep/wake + home button for 5 - 10 seconds) it might not work from the first time but try to keep resetting and it will eventually work. After put your ipod / iphone back on and plug it in. Restore your ipod / iphone and have fun!

Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities

I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop. I just want to get the pix of my family(I have no copies of them) from the device.Do pix from the iPod Touch save in iTunes when it Syncs? If so how do I find them?

I dropped my iPod Touch in a puddle on a camping trip and I sent it to the Pod Drop. I told them that I am only concerned about getting the photos of my family and friends from the device. I know that all of the songs are saved in iTunes on my computer. They told me that they were not able to retrieve the pictures from my device. I recently sync'ed my iPod Touch before it broke. Do the photos that I save on my iPod Touch save to iTunes or to my computer when I sync the device? If so, how do I retrieve those pictures from iTunes or from my computer?
Also, if I buy a new iPod Touch how can I transfer my songs from iTunes to the new device?
Thanks!
Luke

Photos taken by and saved to the iPod are included in the backup that iTunes makes evetime you sync or if do a manual or iCloud backup.
Per the following the backup includes:
iTunes: About iOS backups
Camera Roll (Photos, screenshots, images saved, and videos taken. Videos greater than 2 GB are backed up with iOS 4.0 and later.)
Note: For devices without a camera, Camera Roll is called Saved Photos.
Thus if you backed up after the photos were taken yuo can restore an iDevice from that backup

Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

Is there a way to copy or back up contacts from my Ipod touch without using Itunes?

Are you sure that you can transfer contacts from the iPod to Skydrive?
I would try the links that I previusly provided and try to get iTunes to see the iPOd so you can do everthing right.
If you find a computer that can see the iPOd yu can update the iPod on that computer. See:
iOS 5: Updating your device to iOS 5
Yu can make that your suncing computer by -
- Transfering iTunes purchases:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
- Connect the iPod and make a backup by right clicking on the iPOd under Dvices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore from that backup. That will also update the iPod.

You should probably disable the autosync functionality first by going to Edit -> Preferences, clicking the Devices tab, and enabilng the prevent iPods,iPhones, and iPads from automatically syncing option.
Next, authorize the new computer with your iTunes Account. In iTunes, choose Store -> Authorize This Computer and enter in the correct credentials.
If possible, either copy a backup file from your old computer to your new one or create a new backup of your iPod in iTunes before letting it sync. To do this, right->click on your iPod Touch from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes and choose Backup. You might also want to take a look at this article to see what it all included in the backup.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Now onto synced content such as music, videos, photos, etc. For iTunes purchases you can copy them back into iTunes by choosing File -> Transfer Purchases. For all other nonpurchased iTunes content, see this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering different software availbable to assist you with this task.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2452022?start=0&tstart=0
Once the backup has been made and all other synced content such as music, videos, and photos are back in your iTunes library, restore your iPod from that backup you made earlier. Here is more on backing up and restoring your iPod.

HT1491 How can I purchase a game from my iPod touch using an iTunes card?

Hello does any one know how to buy games or does it need to be from a computer?
Thank you very much!!

To redeem your card:
On your iPod touch, open your "iTunes" app. Go to the "Music" home screen and scroll down to the very absolute bottom. you should see 3 options, Redeem, Send Gift, and your account. Select Redeem. From here, you can enter the card code found on the back of your iTunes card (you can do this only once, and your credit will transfer to your itunes ID, for use on any device registered or authorized with your apple ID.
To buy apps and games:
On your iPod Touch, open your "App Store" app. Along the bottom, press the "Search" button, or the magnifying glass. Search for the app you want. Once you find the app you want, tap on the price (or where it says "free") that will turn into an option labled "Buy App" or "Install App" depending on whether or not the app is free. Once you hit this option, it will request your password. enter your apple ID password, and the app will continue to install....
Cheers!

Why can't I download Free iPod Touch Apps from Apps Store w/Shopping Cart?

I have an 8GB iPod Touch (original model) with the current 2.1 software. I also have iTunes v. 8.0. The behavior I am seeing started about 3 weeks ago and continues with these updates - it was not like this when I first downloaded the 2.0 software and began installing Apps.
I prefer to manage my iPod Touch applications in iTunes. I have my iTunes account set up for a Shopping Cart, not 1-Click Buy. This is because for Music, I prefer to add songs I will want to my shopping cart, then buy them when I want to.
When iTunes 7.7 first came out with v2.0 software, even though I have a Shopping Cart for my iTunes, I could "buy" a Free App just by clicking on it, and it would be automatically downloaded and added to my Applications folder on iTunes. Then, when I synced with my iPod Touch, it would install the app on my iPod Touch. This was true for either new Apps or upgrades to existing Apps.
For the last few weeks, every time I try to update even an existing App for my iPod Touch, if I do it through the iTunes store, I get the following message:
"Applications cannot be purchased with Shopping Cart.
Your preferences are currently set to buy using Shopping Cart. Application purchases cannot be placed in Shopping Cart: they must be purchase by 1-Click. Select Buy if you'd like to purchase [NAME OF APPLICATION} by using 1-Click and your credit card will be charged immediately."
The [NAME OF APPLICATION] is filled in with whatever application I am dealing with at that time.
Why is it that even with a Free application, and an update for it at that, it will not let me obtain it with iTunes if I have a Shopping Cart? So far, I have solved the problem by doing all of my Applications management on my iPod Touch. I use the iTunes Store on my iPod Touch to search for and download the application. Then, when I sync, it places it in my Applications folder on iTunes on my PC.
This is very strange behavior for iTunes. Why would it want to charge my credit card for a Free Application?
Many thanks.
Joe

Hi Steve,
Thanks for your reply. I do have a valid Credit Card on the account. In addition, I also have about a $5 credit from an iTunes gift card in my iTunes account.
In any event, I'm actually NOT purchasing anything. All I'm trying to do is download a FREE App for my iPod Touch. It simply won't let me do it.
This is extremely frustrating.
Best regards.
Joe

Windows 7 64 bit, iPod touch 2nd gen, iTunes sync issue

I have Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium and am frustrated to death. I have spent days wiping out my iPod trying something different an only to start all over again. I am not a n00b to computers and only ask because I only find a trail of tears and none of the problems I see look specifically like mine.
I have been following this issue since Feb 2010 and notice reports that are sort of similar back to Jan of 2009. Anyway here is my problem.
iTunes will recognize my iPod touch 2nd Gen. iTunes will "sync" apps and data. iTunes will not sync movies, music, books, or software upgrades.
I get an error code that changes depending on what I am trying and seems to lead to no where. I can't honestly remember the code anymore.
I can sync with this same computer using Windows XP 32 Pro win a VirtualBox VM, but can not do it directly from within Windows 7. So hardware and drivers are not the issue. I reinstalled iTunes with a Vista 64 bit install that I found online which appeared to work temporarily then ultimately I ended up back where I started.
I actually switched to Windows (from linux) because I got tired of the VirtualBox method. Quite ironic that I am still facing the same issue.
On top of the not being able to sync properly from Windows 7 64 bit. Everytime I try I have to put in hours of work to get my Ipod back to working order as iTunes only allows you to sync with one computer and is slower that snail poop in January. In order to try again I have to be willing to commit to the problems that I am most likely to encounter.
So my questions are
1. Does anyone have a clue why Apple has not fixed this issue? or is there a solution I don't know about?
2. Is there an easier way to attempt a fix that does not require me to re organize my 70+ apps on my iPod?
P.S. I do not have an intel based chipset as that seems to have been an issue for others. I have
ASUS M2V VIA K8T890 AM2 Mother Board
CPU AMD|A64 X2 4600+
VGA EVGA GF 7300GT
Have tried direct to MB USB and through powered Hub

Are you sure that you downloaded the 64 bit version and not the 32 bit version? I would delete the download and try again. You also might want to look at the iTunes forum since youu have an iTunes problem and not an iPod problem.

Why is my iPod touch prompting me to restore to the factory settings? Some of my apps have stopped responding. Is this why? I plugged my iPod touch onto my iTunes account and a message popped up saying that iTunes couldn't read the iPod

I plugged up my iPod touch to my iTunes library and it said that it couldnt recognize the iPod and the message told me to restore my iPod? Why would it prompt me to restore the factory settings? Also if I restore the iPod will it erase all of my music even though my music is in my library?
Some of my apps stopped working would this be the reason I need to restore my iPod? I am scared to restore the settings and lose all of my music.
I also put all of my apps in the utility folders, would this have anything to do with my iPod needing to be restored?

Becasue something got corrupted on the iPod. It happens sometimes. Just restore the iPod to factory settings/new iPod and then try restoring from your backup.
