Hi all, my son has a shuffle which I setup for him downloaded songs ect; it has been working fine. now he got a Touch for X-mas and I set it up for him but it would not take my account info so I had to creat a new one, what i want to do is get all his songs off the shuffle and put them on the touch..but my issue is I cant seem to log into my old account I have forgot the p/w and when I try to recover it I believe the e-mail is going to an old account I dont have any more..so is there a way to recover my p/w.....

There are tw ways to recover yu r passware, One is via the email address associate with the account and the other is the secret question. For more information see:

Ipod touch Why won't my 2nd gen ipod touch sync with ical

Rather recently my ipod touch (2nd gen) won't sync with the ical. The only information that shows up is birthdays. None of my appointments past or future are syncing. What is happening?
I have tried to 1. select individual calendars and 2. tried to select "all" and even 3. tried the one time replace all calendar options. No go. I can't get events to show up other than birthdays.
I only sync with the USB port to my macbook pro
Very strange.

In fact I had only the birthday calendar turned on. I was unaware that could be done. Now that I have all showing it works just fine. Thanks!

IPod touch sync with iTunes Error -18

Hi
Today I want to use my iPod touch but they was no music on it (the pictures are ok).
At home I try to sync the iPod touch with the lib, I don’t run
I got the message that the sync is not possible error code -18, a restore is mot possible too.To solve this problem I reset the iPod touch (setup-> common -> reset all)
Is it a hardware / software error on the iPod touch?
thanks
Frank

Follow these instructions ... be sure to continue to hold down the HOME button when your release the SLEEP/ON/OFF button as indicated:
1.) connect the ipod
2.) Pres and hold both home and off switch untill the apple logo apears
3.) When apple logo apears let go off the off switch but not the home
4.) You should see the logo of a cd and a usb cord
5.) Open itunes. If it still doesnt see it, unplug the ipod and close and reopen itunes and then plug your ipod
Itunes should take over from there

IPod Touch Syncing with Itunes

Well I've finally been able to get my used Ipod Touch back in working order, upon connecting it to my computer for the first time i've run into another issue. When I attempt to sync my Ipod with Itunes it pops up a windows message "SyncServer has stopped working" and then a moment later "Itunes was unable to load provider data from Sync Services. Reconnect or try again later"
I've looked around the support pages and the forums with no luck.
Thank you, I would appreciate it if anyone is able to point me in the right direction.
++addition info: It has some of the previous owner's songs on it and a couple of apps, none of which I want, so any data loss wont bother me in the slightest.
??quick Q: Do i need to register the ipod under my account or convert my account to an itunes store account(or something like that) in order just to sync my songs i have on my computer?

Here's a post about the SyncServer problem: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2384885&start=50&tstart=0
Apps can only be used with the account they where bought with. Delete the apps from the last owner and change the Store settings to your account in Settings/Store by logging in with your account info.

How can i make my ipod touch sync with itunes again?

recently, my whenever i plugged in ipod touch to itunes on my desktop or laptop computer it does not sync nor shows that itunes has recognized it. How can i fix this?

iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
Or
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Features app in the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- Then do the other actions of:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
paying special attention to item #5
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause

Why can't my ipod touch sync with itunes 11?

I am currently using an iphone 5 and an ipod touch 3rd generation. I had to upgrade my itunes to sync my iphone but now I can no longer sync and back up my ipod touch. I'm not sure if it's because my itunes is too advanced for my ipod which is using IOS 5(I think). I remember I used to be able to put songs in and all but now itunes keeps asking me to restore it to factory setting which I do no want to do every time I want to add music. Is there any way to fix this problem? Or do I really have to restore my ipod every time? Please Help.

Something happened and yo have to restore via iTunes. Backup to iTunes if yo can and then restore from that backup
All old devices can sync with the newest iTunes

No. iOS 5 and iCloud are not compatible with 2G iPod Touches. They only work with 3G and new iPod Touches. Sorry.

Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

Key Facts:
-I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
-It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
-It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
-It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
-I am running iTunes 11.0.4
-the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1. What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
After you get it updated see if syncs.

Can the iPod Touch Sync with Windows XP

I am contimplating purchasing an iPod Touch to replace my Palm Pilot. Okay, you can stop laughing now. I intend on using the iPod touch for mostly contacts and calendar events. I also realize there is no way to transfer my current information on my computer to the iPod Touch. But is there a way / program that I can load on to Windows XP that will sync information?

- If yoo use the Communities search box in the upper right and search for palm and restrict the search to the iPhone forum you will find out how to import your Palm data.you will find out how to get your Palm contacts and some other stuff into your iPod
If you purchase a 3G or later iPod you can go to icloud.com (requires iOS 5 or later) on the computer and access/edit/add contacts, calendar and maybe some other stuff.

Will iPod Touch sync with iTunes via Wi-Fi ?

Forgive me if it's here somewhere but I cannot seem to find any info on this.
I'm thinking it would be really neat if I could just pop the iPod Touch on my speaker dock to charge when I'm at home, whilst updating the content wirelessly via my laptop/home network.
Is this possible?

Thanks.
I was reading about the Zune yesterday which made me wonder if the Touch would work the same.
A USP for the Zune until Apple sort out an update!

Why won't my iPod touch sync with iTunes?

I recently bought a new song and wanted to put it on my iPod. Every time I went to sync it "timed out" and wouldn't show up on my iPod (ie the sync failed). I tried updating iTunes. My iPod won't get any new updates since its 2nd generation. I've tried the diagnostics and everything checks out okay there. My computer is up to date. I thought I'd try to do a restore and now I have less songs and none of my apps. It's now getting "stuck" on other songs from my collection. Any help?

Okay, so I think it may be the cable b/c when I hold it just right it works much better. It still will get stuck on certain songs but when I try again it works.

Has anyone tried syncing the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11?

I know the "official" Apple spec's state the new iPod Touch 4 are
for it to sync with OS 10.5.8 and use iTunes 10 .... but has anyone been
successful in using the new iPod Touch 4 with OS 10.4.11 and iTunes 9.2.1?

Does iTunes see the iPod? If not
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
You need iTunes 10.7 or later on the computer
The iPod touch uses different drivers than the Nano

Ipod Touch , Help with keeping pics after data loss

Ok well , a couple of weeks ago one of the HDDs in my raid array went down and I lost a fair bit of data , I dont care about the songs/videos etc but some 700+ photos I had on the drive from holidays/birthdays etc I was really upset about.
Yes I know I should've had backups but I didnt so no point going there , now I have all the photos on my ipod touch 2g but now when I replaced my drive , re-installed XP and so on iTunes sees the ipod as synced with another iTunes which is obviously now inaccessible and wants to delete everything on the IPod and sync it with this new itunes.
Basically is there anyway I can keep my pictures on there or retrieve them from the ipod ????
Please help
Thx in advance
Lee

My itunes erroneously says that my ipod is synced with another computer when I try to sync. What can I do to fix this?

First, right after updating my iTunes to the latest version, my iTunes will not display album covers. It says exactly "iTunes is unable to browse album covers on this computer." It has never been an issue before, but, anyway... that is where it all started.
Then I read a bunch of Apple Support topics on the subject, and it directed me to replace my library file with a previous library file. So, I did, and now, not only will my albums not display, but my iPod Touch will not sync with my computer, the only computer I have ever used it on. It says that the ipod is synced with another library and asks me if I want to erase and sync (I have my music on my computer, but I will lose all of my apps and such).
What can I do to resolve this? Thanks for the help.

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your ipod. Only if you back up your iPod manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your iPod without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
All media content will be erased during the first sync, but you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the ipod for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in itunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread:http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
