IPod Touch without a computer

Can the iPod Touch be used without a computer?  ie., can it still download music, apps, games and such without a connection to a computer?

Yes, you can use an iPod that way IF you have a WiFi internet connection.
However, if this is a brand new iPod, you MUST connect it to a computer to get the iPod setup, and the computer MUST have an internet connection to download iTunes. 
Not only that, but having a computer makes it much easier to manage your play lists and such...
One other thing, a new iPod does not come with a wall charger (it does come with the USB/Docking cable), so you will need to buy one or use a computer to charge your iPod battery....

    how do i sync my ipod touch with my computer without erasing all of the music already on the ipod

    Sanmannyer, just what are you smoking? iTunes can sync non-iTunes purchased music to any iPod and iOS devices (iPod touch, iPhone and iPad) as long as it is not DRM protected.
    Would y plase stop posting incorrect information.

    On your iPod Touch, open the iTunes app. There should be tab named "purchased", which shows all your purchase history. Choose the "Not on this iPod" tab and you'll get a list of purchased products that are not on your device. Hope this helped.

    Head to Settings -> General -> Erase all Content and Settings. This procedure will not however, restore a fresh copy of the iPod's firmware onto the device.

    No since you can only sync with one computer.

    Can I sync my iPod Touch with my older iPod Nano without a computer?

    Keep in mind that you can't drag and drop (transfer) songs from one iPod to another using iTunes either.  The music you want to add from one iPod to the other, must be stored in your iTunes library first.

  • Backup iPod Touch music to computer without adding it to iTunes Library

    I would like to backup/copy the music and books from my Mom's iPod Touch to my computer without mixing it in with my personal library.  I basically want to move all of the iPod Touch's content to a folder on my harddrive ("Mom's iPod" or whatever).  I have already created a backup in iTunes, but it is my understanding that the iTunes backup does not back up the music or books.  Is there a way to do this?  Thanks in advance for any help.

    Based on the recomendations by lllaass, I tried 2 different programs.  Both were selected because they were free:
    The first program I tried was SharePod.  This decision was based on CNET & user reviews.  It worked great for moving the music from the iPod to the computer, was easy to use, and was free; however, it is limited to music (it had a photo section but it did not see the one photo on the iPod so I was not able to test the feature).  If all you need to move is music I recommend this solution.
    After I realized there were eBooks on the iPod, I had to find a second program to back them up.  I used Syncios (again based on CNET & user reviews).  This also worked great for backing up the eBooks, and I was even able to backup the apps (all were free apps, but I thought I would test the feature anyway).  I did not try to backup the music because I already backed it up with SharePod, but I would imagine it will work as well as the books & apps.
    **BEWARE** when installing Syncios: the reviews stated the install adds malware.  To avoid the program installing additional software, make sure to select custom install and uncheck the additional programs!

  • How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

    how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

    Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
    You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

    As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

  • I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

    I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.  use your backup copy to put everything back.

  • 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.

    That is not supported by Apple. If you are getting a network timeout error, disabling the computer's security software usuallys resolves that error.
