Was the iPod completrely erased
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
and setup with your ID?
What happens when you try to purchase the apps?
Was the iPod originally purchased/actiovated on or after Sept 1st?
GarageBand is free on the App Store for all iOS 7 compatible devices; additional GarageBand instruments and sounds are available with an in-app purchase. iPhoto, iMovie, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote are free on the App Store for qualifying iOS 7 compatible devices activated on or after September 1, 2013. See www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/ for iOS 7 compatible devices. Downloading apps requires an Apple ID.

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.
You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync". -

I am battling to get my Album Artwork updated in my Ipod Touch - please help?
Just a guess here, but it sounds like iTunes is under the impression that some of the song files it is managing are located on a removable drive. Do all of your songs play from iTunes? That might be hard to know if you have thousands of songs, but if a song was imported into iTunes, but the file was deleted afterward (like if you used removable media), you might get a warning like that, and the song wouldn't play in iTunes. Just a thought.

Locked out of my iPod touch please help!
I locked myself out of my iPod touch I forgot my password stupid my lol I really need your help if you have any idea please post any info I would really appreciate it I need to get back to my favorite game car town street lol thanks
Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iPod in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the iPod backup that iTunes makes.

Various problems with my ipod touch please help
Hi,
I need help yesterday when i plugged my ipod in to update my podcasts like i do every morning I kept getting an error message that i can't remember and then when it was finished syncing there was no content on it. then i started getting the error message that my account had been disabled due to security purposes??? anyway i went to work (without my ipod...tourture!) and when i got back i tried to sync it again only this time my ipod was giving me the message that it couldn't be synced because there was not enough space but i my ipod is a 32 gb and when i clicked on the ipod screen the bar at the bottom had my usual adudio and video content (the space that it uses) but then the rest of the bar was yello (other content?) and I don't know what it is and its taking all the space up on the ipod. so i tried restoring it but the same thing would keep happening. so i uninstalled itunes piece by piece (to my dismay i lost everything in my library and it won't open now. I went to teh apple website to try and download the itunes but it kept telling "now that you've downloaded itunes lets get started" but nothing had actually downloaded! i finally got the 32 bit version to install but now when i try to open itunes it won't and gives me the error message that "itunes can't be opened because it was created by a new version". i have lost everything and now i can't even use my ipod. i paid 3 or 4 hundred dollars for this about two years ago not to mention all the content i have already purchased and its all lost and I don't have any warranty. Can anyone help????- Try completely removing and reinstalling all the Apple software using these instructions:

Itunes (Mac) won't recognize ipod touch - please help!!
Hi. I have a brand new 4th-gen ipod Touch. I'm running Snow Leopard and iTunes 10.4.1 on a Macbook. I have three other ipods (classic, shuffle x 2) and they all work fine. THe USB cable and port work fine with other ipods (and with this one on the rare occasions it works properly) and the ipod touch, when it's cooperating, seems to function OK so I don't think it's a hardware failure. It hasn't been dropped/wet, and I've only used it for 4 days.
Bit of a saga and I'm getting seriously fed up!
The ipod touch synced OK the first time I went to set it up, I installed some music/apps and all seemed fine. Then the next time itunes wouldn't recognize it so I couldn't sync (it just charges through the USB but does nothing else). So I ran through all the suggested tests on Apple support (turning on/off, checking I had the right versions of stuff, etc), that didn't help so I uninstalled and reinstalled itunes 10. That worked, and the ipod touch synced and I was able to use it again. BUT, the day after that, it went back to not being recognized. Tried everything again, reinstalled itunes - that worked. Then the next day... not recognized again!
So I phoned Apple support, and the guy told me to hard reset and restore factory settings, which I did but it failed: first time it didn't restore (was just same as before). Second time I tried it froze and I got Error #1611. Tried again and got Error #1618 which isn't even listed on the Apple Support page the error message links to (by this stage it was showing the plug into itunes screen you get when you first turn it on, but only when plugged into a USB port - wouldn't turn on when not connected). So I called Apple Support again (different person this time) and was told it was a possible hardware failure and I should take it to my local Apple Reseller.
Apple Reseller staff looked at it, confirmed that it'd only turn on when connected to computer, so they plugged it into one of theirs and restored the factory settings. THis time successful (ipod working again) but went to sync to itunes and AGAIN it wouldn't recognized it. Went through the whole uninstall/reinstall process for itunes and got the ipod to sync. But now.... not recognized again!! I can't keep uninstalling and reinstalling itunes every time I want to sync the ipod, that's just ridiculous.
Has anyone else had this problem? And does anyone know how to fix it?I think I might have fixed it (touch wood, cross fingers, etc)...
Here's what I did:
In Finder, under "Go", select "Go to folder".
When the box comes up, enter this folder name: /system/library/launchdaemons
Click "go"
Locate this file: com.apple.usbmuxd.plist~orig
Put it in the trash
(NB: there's also a file called "com.apple.usbmuxd.plist" in that folder - don't touch that one)
Restart computer
Open itunes, connect ipod
If the ipod appears in itunes, restart and try again to confirm it's working.
This came from instructions someone else posted on another Apple discussion about an ipod touch not syncing. That reply said to do the software updates from the Apple menu first, but I did that and they failed to install but the above still worked, so the updates might not be necessary. -
Can't sync music with new iPod Touch. Help!
I recently received a new iPod Touch for Christmas. However, last night, my moniter on my computer stopped working. So, until I was able to purchase a new one, I simply hooked up and old moniter to my hard drive so I could use my computer.
This moniter is very old, and considerably smaller than my other one, but I thought that it would work just fine. But today, I went to register my new ipod, and the registration screen on itunes was way too small. I could only see about three fourths of the page. I was unable to see and press certain buttons that I would need to in order to register my ipod and sync my music.
So, I went on the iTunes website and went ahead and registered my ipod there. Now, when I plugged in my ipod again, it was still asking me to register it on itunes, but I can't because of my screen. and I can't scroll left or right, because there isn't even a scroll bar.
My ipod is already registered, but now, does anyone know how I can skip the itunes registering process so I can just go ahead and get my music?
Thanks!Yes, I did that. But my screen is too small, so when it comes to the Terms and Conditions page, the only options I can see are Cancel and Save.
I already registered the iPod on the iTunes website. Can I go ahead and sync my music now? Or must I go through a registration process on the iTunes program in order to get my music? -
Since my Itunes was updated I have had nothing but problems. When I open Itunes, the majority of the time I can not access the itunes store, though I can occasionally. I have good internet connection. I followed Itunes help associated with that and even downloaded the latest version of my graphics card. Then if I close out of Itunes and go back to reopen it will not reopen at all. The only way I can reopen it is by restarting my computer. The other thing is that I have a brand new Ipod touch and Itunes does not recognize it. Help!!! I hate Itunes 11.0!! If I didn't already have 7 Ipods and a song library of 6000, I would walk away from apple right now!!!
Okay for my issue I ended up calling Apple Support and getting a solution! Yahoo! It appears to be working properly without having to go back to the old version of Itunes, as was suggested by someone in this forum. I have Windows 7, and they did suggest to makes sure my Windows 7 was updated, along with my Video Card. The tech had me uninstall Itunes and Reinstall it, however she stressed to me that if it was not uninstalled in the proper order, Itunes still would not work after the re-install.
The proper order to uninstall Itunes from the add or remove programs, is:
1st Itunes
2nd Quicktime
3rd Apple Software Update
4th Apple Mobile Device
5th Bonjour
6th Apple Aplication Support
Following the uninstall I shut the computer off completely for one minute, then powered it back up, and went to www.itunes.com to reinstall the software. Seems to be working now, with my Windows 7, without having to revert back to the old version of itunes. -
I bought my i pod touch on the 13th and i am having problems connecting to wifi. Whenever i do get connected and i go to safari or youtube it says cannot connect. if it helps i have a link sys wireless g router. I also have th 22 letter encryption code that i put in correctly with capital and lower case letters using the arrow on the bottom left corner of th i touch
OK - so we know it's not an issue with the iPod Touch... that's a good start. Have you tried turning off the encryption on your network and retrying?
If you get a message that says "Safari can't load the page because it can't find the server" try resetting your network settings on the iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings), then powercycling your router (turn it off, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on) and then try to reconnect to your network.

The youtube app on my ipod touch doesn't work so i can't watch any youtube videos.
I updated my OS to 4 and it still does not work.
It says 'you are not authorized to play this file' and won't play the video.
I have registered with itunes account.
The wifi is not the problem because i can browse safari and the itunes stores and download apps and the you tube app is not restricted either.
Some help please?Welcome to the discussions,

Ok, so I just got my ipod touch today. No problem with the initial steps.
I then go to the apple product registration page and register the product there (register.apple.com). It said that it would send me an email for confirmation after I had completed all the steps (haven't received this yet).
When I try to register it to the ASP though, it displays this message:
According to our records, this serial number is registered to another Apple ID. If you have more than one Apple ID, log in to My Support Profile with that Apple ID to see your other registered products. Not sure if you have another Apple ID?
I don't understand. The product isn't showing up on my ASP yet and I don't have any other apple ID. What could possibly be the case here and has anyone else encountered the same situation?
Thank you.Contact App if you are sure you are registered the iPod to the account you are checking.
