Is it necessary to register your iPod?

I don't have any of the normal settings on my iTunes, not even when I click on my iPod icon under devices. By normal settings I mean ones like the Summary Tab etc etc. When I click on the iPod, instead of getting the settings, I get a big picture advertising iPods along with a link that leads me to register my iPod. I've tried EVERYTHING I can think of to get these settings, I've even reinstalled iTunes but nothing works.
This is the picture I get:

Please can someone help!! I'm out of options!

What buttons???
I have scrolled down and all you see on that screen shot is all there is. There is no buttons lower down.
I don't seem to have the screen that allows you to chose what you're syncing, see the capacity of stuff you have on it, etc. That's what I'm on about.

Itunes register your ipod page get cut off

How to register your iPod Touch on your PC after reformating

I just recently did a full recovery on my PC and now I want to add more songs. But it says it's registered to another PC or something. How do switch it over without losing my songs because it's asking me to do a format on my ipod touch. Is there a way to back up my songs?

Hey there,
Sorry about that. I had the wrong program. Try this one instead. Should be 100% free. Hope this helps more.

SOMEONE USED MY SERIAL NUMBER TO REGISTER MY IPOD TO THEIR ACCOUNT.

Hello. I realized that you can register your ipod to your apple account with the serial number in the box. Because of this, I am able to track my lost iPod touch the moment it has wifi -its in lost mode (so yeah, I;m just waiting for it to go online before it alarms, displays my phone number, and locks)
NOW THE OTHER SITUATION: Right before I bought that iPod, someone at home lost my previous 2010 iPod touch. I still have the box(THE SERIAL NUMBER) AND the receipt so I thought maybe if I register the serial number, I can have it tracked on iCloud. I was able to "register" when I visited the page, "register your iPod" but it didn't show up in my Apple Support Profile thing... when I registered it from there, it showed that the thief already registered it in ther Apple I.D.
Now if I still have serial number/the box/and the proof of purchase, will apple be able to help me by tracking it or at least red flag/disable the thief's usage of the iPod??? I don't know. It's just that I think I see that the technology is there butI don't know if it can be used for people who's iPod's have been stolen and/or lost like me. And I think its unfair that people get to get away by legally being allowed to "take over" your iPod with their Apple I.D.'s even if you still have the serial number/box/and proof of purchase.

wow. so these thieves can just LEGALLY take over your iPod with their accounts. Using a serial number that YOU BOUGHT while you have the PROOF of purchase and the BOX still WITH YOU--even if serial number tracking technology is available--the device is still allowed to live for them, while apple provides them legal services. It should at least be disabled How tragic. Next time I own a THIRD iPod (which is not anytime soon), I'll have to chain it to my neck... oh the world

How dso you track your ipod

how can i track down my ipod that has went missing?

If you have an iCloud account, and registered your iPod in Find My...login to your iCloud account, then open Find My and highlight the iPod and it should search for it...but if the iPod is turned off, not connected to the internet, or been restored to factory settings it will not show up. In that case there is nothing you can do to locate it.

Why i cannot search any music on my itunes? is it necessary to register and pay an annual fee in order to usa the itunes in your ipad?

why i cannot search any music on my itunes? is it necessary to register and pay an annual fee in order to usa the itunes in your ipad?

To search your music library on your iPad, use the music icon. The I tunes button takes you to the store where you can buy more music or videos. To play your won music etc you do not need to be connected to apple, the music is on your pad.
If you want to get new stuff from iTunes, and load it onto your pad, you need an account. Your account is your apple id.

How do i register my Ipod to a different account

I registered my ipod to my itunes account. I then gave the ipod to my grandson. How do I delete it off my account a register the ipod to his account on a different computer?

Change the Apple ID used with a device - Settings > Store > tap on your AppleID
When he connects it to his iTunes library it will detect a different library is being used and wipe your content to be replaced with the content of his iTunes library.

How do I register my Ipod to my new Windows HP Pro?

I got rid of my Apple computer and now have a Windows XP Pro lap top. I do not have any music saved on my Itunes (all in my Ipod) and I don't know how to register my Ipod to my new computer without erasing everything. Please help!!

Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
However, if your iPod is Mac formatted, you'll only be able to copy content off of it using a program such as XPlay as Windows PCs cannot read or write to Mac OS X formatted hard drives/storage disks.
See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

How can I register an iPod to my account that is currently registered to another one?

I bought an iPod Classic, 1.3 version, from a friend and it is registered under another account. I can't get in touch with this person to get the account password so I can sync my iPod to my account. I want to re-register the iPod under my account. It doesn't matter if all the music is lost in the proccess. Does anyone know how I can do this?

You don't HAVE to register the iPod with your account, but here is the link to register the product with Apple under your info.

Simply connect the iPod to your PC and restore it via iTunes. This will associate the iPod with your iTunes library and content.

Registering an ipod touch that went 1 month without backup?

Daughter got brand new ipod for 13th bday. I set it up for her on her brand new email and brand new apple ID. and opted out of icloud and registering at first. She went to town on wifi, lots of apps, took pictures, created artwork, loves her ipod for 1 month. Never used itunes for anything, she was able to do everything she wanted without itunes. But then... I bought her some songs for an upcoming road trip. They went into the iTunes library, great. When I plugged in her ipod to synch them, no device appeared in itunes. Windows sees it, but gives it the same name as her older sister's ipod which is weird because older sister still uses that ipod which is not connected. I realized I bought songs into my itunes acct (so that's 3 apple ids for 3 ipods, all running on 1 windows PC) so I'm bound to get beiber fever now. So I sign my apple id out of itunes and sign back in with her apple id to re-purchase the same songs again. Live and learn, us android guys are dumb like that. So now I'm signed into iTunes with her apple id, I still see the cool 80's songs ripped from my CD's, the new purchased beiber songs, and older sister's purchased songs too, but I'm signed in with the youngest's apple id, I don't get that, but will research how all the apple DRM works some other weekend when I have time. With her ipod connected there were still no devices listed in the left column of itunes,so I stopped/started the Apple Mobile service and restarted itunes and it popped up so I'm thinking now I can drag/drop songs to it. But no, it wants me to register the ipod now.
Here's my question:
Only options are "set up as new ipod" or "restore from backup". There is no backup for this newest ipod since purchasing and using it, but I see backups available for me and the older daughter. I figure those are bad choices. "Set up as new ipod" sounds bad to me as well, it sounds like all the photos, apps and saved files will be lost. So only option is to exit itunes. I have searched this forum and manuals but can't determine if "set up as new" is going to blow away all data on the device that was used prior to resigtering and make it a factory-fresh device with all the data wiped clean. I know I mentioned I'm an android guy, but don't hate, I do own an ipod touch. Actually it's my 2nd ipod, my classic went PVS. I'm just new to multiple users, DRM roadblocks, and this problem of using the ipod before registering it. Thanks for your time. No rush. Road trip is in a few days.

Take it to the store and find out. I wouldn't want to give you any confidence.

I registered my ipod touch on my other apple ID. i dont need that apple ID so i created a new one. how can i register my ipod touch into my new Apple ID?

i need help on registering my ipod touch into my new apple ID. i dont want to use the other ID. so how can i register it into my new Apple ID?

Changing Facetime settings on an iPod will have no affect on cellular settings on an iPhone. Something else is going on there. If she did not change any settings on the phone, then nothing she did could affect your celluar 3G.

I have registered an Ipod to my Apple ID last week, how I can download the iWork in to my Iphone 5 ios 7?

Last week I registered and Ipod Shuffle that somebody gave me as a present like 6 o 7 years ago. I registered last week because I found it 7 years after, it was new and I did not use it before. I heard in the iOS 7 presentation that all the users that registered an Apple product after the 1st september of 2013 could have all the iWork completely free. So I bought an iPhone 5 last June and now that I have registered another Apple product (last week) I realize that now I can download free all the iWork free. But how can I do it?
Thanks,
Yugoespaña

You have to ACTIVATE an iDevice after September 1 ,2013. The Shuffle is not an iDevice. You activated your 5 in June, therefore you do not qualify.

Can I register an iPod(s) to more than one computer?

We're getting 3 iPods for the family (maybe 4) and we have 2 identical Dell Dimension8400 PC in our home. Can we register the iPods to ONE iPod account OR is the registration only allowed to ONE PC? I'd like to be able to use either computer on our network, especially since we may have 4 iPods in our home.
Any advice on how to set this up?
I think I want all children (and myself) to share an iTunes account so we can share songs. Each child has own account to access PC in family room.
Thanks in advance

macgirl_k, I don't know why Apple designed the shuffle that way.
That article I linked to has this note
+Note: iPod shuffle is intended for use with a single computer. You cannot load music from multiple computers or iTunes libraries onto iPod shuffle like you can with other iPods.+
You CAN use it with both your PCs, but it will replace the entire shuffle's contents each time.
So if laptop has Song A, and desktop has Song B - you will never be able to get both Song A&B on your shuffle at one time.
You'll have to choose either song A or song B
.....or put song A & B on both PCs.

Restore my iPod touch can make me lose everything I have and is it really necessary? // Restaurer mon IPod touch peut-il me faire perdre tout ce que j'ai et est-ce vraiment nécessaire??

Hi everyone!
I have problems with my 4th generation IPod Touch for a while.
First, it was no longer recognized by Windows or by ITunes and yet il worked fine forabout 2 week.... it is beyond comprehension!! Ican no longer use ITunes... not pratical!! I'm actively looking for solutions.
I finally solved the problem of recognition with Windows, with the help of Apple. Now, I still have the problem of recognition with which ITunes still does not work. When I open ITunes, a warning message telling me to restore my IPod.
My fear is losing my music but also some conversations, my bookmarks, my pictures and my apps and data entered in them. I would lose nothing, find my IPod as it's now after the restoration.
Is it possible to not lose its data during a restore?? If so, how?? Is ICloud does the work??
Is it really necessary to restore my IPod?? Do you think this would solve my problem really??
Could you please help me???
Thank you in advance for your answers!

P.S. Sorry for my English..... I'm French!!
Bonjour à vous!
J'ai des problèmes avec mon Ipod touch 4e génération depuis un bon moment.
Tout d'abord, il n'était plus reconnu par Windows ni par ITunes et pourtant il a bien fonctionné durant environ 2 semaines... c'est à n'y rien comprendre!! Je ne peux donc plus utiliser ITunes... pas pratique!! Je suis donc en recherche active de solutions.
J'ai finalement résolu le problème de reconnaissance avec Windows, avec l'aide Apple. Maintenant, il me reste le problème de reconnaissance avec ITunes, qui ne fonctionne toujours pas. Lorsque j'ouvre ITunes, un message d'alerte me dit de restaurer mon IPod. Ma crainte est de perdre ma musique mais surtout certaines conversations, mes signets, mes photos ainsi que mes applications et les données entrées dans ces dernières. J'aimerais ne rien perdre, retrouver mon IPod comme il est maintenant après la restauration.
Y a-t'il une façon de ne pas perdre ses données lors d'une restauration?? Si oui comment?? Est-ce que ICloud fait le travail??
Est-ce vraiment nécessaire de restaurer mon IPod?? Croyez-vous que ça règlerait vraiment mon problème??
Pouvez-vous m'aidez svp???
Merci d'avance pour vos réponses!

Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
Connectez-vous via le câble à l'ordinateur que vous utilisez pour la synchronisation. A partir d'iTunes, sélectionnez l'iPad / iPod, puis sélectionnez l'onglet Résumé. Suivre les indications pour la restauration et assurez-vous de dire «oui» à la sauvegarde. Vous serez averti que toutes les données (applications, musique, films, etc) seront effacées, mais, comme les finitions de restauration, il vous sera demandé si vous souhaitez le contenu de la sauvegarde à copier à l'iPad / iPod. Encore une fois, dire «oui».

If your ipod freezes, skips songs, and wont load, read this

ok, i have a 4th gen 40gb ipod which worked fine until i upgraded to itunes 5. now my ipod shows a folder with !, songs skip, and it freezes after 5 songs.disk mode didnt help either, as it didnt show up on my computer even though the ipod displayed do not disconnect. I found a fix for it. it sounds dangerous and crude, but it worked for me, and some other people. plug your ipod into your computer and it will say dont disconnect, and your comp probably will be locked up like normal until ipod loads, then take your ipod, and hit it on its side on a hard surface. do it while you hear the Hard drive spinning. NO JOKE. my ipod started working right after. however, the sound is really crappy now, but i was at least able to backup my files, and i'm going to use my warrenty to get a new one. the reason this works is beacuse somehoew the hd pin is out of place, and you can hear it clicking. hitting it will get it back in place. i know this sounds crazy, but trust me, it will stop skipping songs and freezing, and will appear on your computer. I warn you however, if you break your ipod doing this, dont blame me, i'm just saying this because it worked for me. give it a try if nothing else works. hope this helps. itunes 5 was really bad. anyone know where to get itunes 4.9, that was fine for me, and i had a separate podcasting program anyway.
--Peace

Hi Mark,
I tried entering the serial number onto the apple website, but it says my iPod had not been registered (although I have registered it!).
Anyway, I phoned apple support and they told me to go to depot.info.apple.com/ipod and fill in a service request. Unfortunately it said that my iPod is out of warranty, so I had to phone again to get them to update their records about the and they are sending out a service box in the next few days
I think I'm definately going to take out the applecare service now!
