Itunes and and a new ipod
Just wondering
If I get a new ipod will what's in my current itunes go into the new ipod when I connect it to my computer?
Yes it will. You just need to connect your new iPod, follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like.

After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update

If I help out a friend & download a free app (through my iTunes account) on their new iPod Touch, will their device automatically be added to my itunes device list (and they can see all my contacts, pix, music etc)?
Just wondering, what context is this in?
First up, is your iTunes account part of an iCloud account?
Secondly, if it's a free app, why don't they just download it? If they are having trouble finding it on the App Store, but you can find it easily, you can share the link for it via email with them, and if they view that email on their iPod they can just tap the link and it will open the App Store to that App for them, so they can download it themselves.
If you were to go to the Store settings pane and sign in with your iTunes account, that should only provide the possibility for download items from your iTunes account, such as purchased apps, music and movies. However, if you signed in, downloaded the app, and then went back and signed out of the account again, there shouldn't be any access apart from the app you downloaded. This is provided you sign in using the Store section of the Settings app, not the iCloud section.
One problem they will have if you download this in your account instead of theirs, in order to download updates for that app, they will need you to enter your iTunes password to download the updates. Doing that doesn't give them access to anythign to do with your account other than that update, but they will be unable to receive updates for it without your password. They would also likely be unable to sync the app onto their computer, as their computer would not be Authorised with your iTunes account.
If you can answer some of the questions I've asked, I may be able to suggest alternate ways for you get them the app on their device.
Hope this all helps a bit -
Is there any shop in texas ,austin where we can replace an old ipod touch 3G and get a new ipod touch 4G ??
pls help meeSorry but I am pretty sure there isn't a shop which offers such a service.
Apple stores offer a 14 day remorse period where you can return a purchase for a full refund without having to give a reason however this has probably expired - unless you bought from a different store with a similar system which you still happen to be within the time limit for.
Your best bet would be to sell your iPod 3G and put the money towards a new one. If you are having trouble selling it an Apple store will take it and give you 10% off a new iPod. -

After reading your post, I can certainly understand your concerns with this situation. I would love to assist you finding a resolution for your service issues in your home area. First, I'll need to ask you a few questions to help me in resolving.
In what zip code do you experience this problem? You mentioned service problems at your home. Do you get a signal when you're outside at this location? Have you spoken with our Technical Support Team regarding this issue in the past? And if so, was a resolution ticket filed for this issue on your behalf?

I cannot download my old itunes library to my new ipod - please help!!!!
Unfortunately in August 2006 someone nicked my Ipod mini - thanks! So my insurance co. replaced it with an ipod nano. I've installed the new software disk that came with my ipod nano and hooked up with the old itunes library to my new ipod nano. Simple huh? Not likely. It says I have too many tunes in my itunes library to download to my new ipod. However the mini and nano are both the same size -4G so why now is it telling my I have too many songs to download to my ipod nano? I have even deselected some from the library but no luck. My old ipod mini was not full to capacity anyway? any ideas?
It could be that my current pc is not logged to the internet - AOL fault currently being sorted but surely that should not stop me updating my ipod? The tunes are in the library the new 4g ipod (allbeit a nano and not a mini as was) is connected yet the **** thing says I have too many tunes selcted to download WHEN I KNOW I DONT! Help......... please does anyone have a clue where i'm going wrong its driving my nuts!Why not? What happens when you try?
Is the content selected to sync? -
I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?
They can't. Which came first - the chicken or the egg? Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything. iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad). iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it. -
Can i sync my old itunes music onto my new ipod?
I just got a new ipod touch i have my old itunes account with all my music on it but i also have a new icloud account and im not sure if i can sync my already puchesed music from my itunes account to the new ipod, and if so can i select only certain songs i want on it?
I believe that you can sync your new iPod with the old iTunes account (For the music, apps etc.). The new iCloud account is separate for the iMessages, contacts, FaceTime, calendar etc.

Does anyone know how to reset your security questions?? I loaded an itunes gift card on new ipod but when trying to make a purchase, itunes is asking us the incorrect security questions?! (for 1st time purchase) I know the questions are not what I chose because I wrote the questions & answers down when setting up the ipod. Any ideas??!!!
Reset Security Questions
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
Manage My Apple ID
Or you can email iTunes Support at iTunes Store Support.
If all else fails:
1. Go to: Apple Express Lane;
2. Under Product Categories choose iTunes;
3. Then choose iTunes Store;
4. Then choose Account Management;
5. Now choose iTunes Store Security and answer the bullet questions, then click
Continue;
6. Sign in with your Apple ID and press Continue;
7. Under Contact Options fill out the information and advise iTunes that you would
like your security/challenge questions reset;
8. Click Send/Continue.
You should get a response within 24 hours by email.
In the event you are unsuccessful then contact AppleCare - Contacting Apple for support and service.
Another user had success doing the following:
I got some help from an apple assistant on the phone. It is kind of round about way to get in.
Here is what he said to do and it is working for me...
a. on the device that is asking you for the security questions go to "settings", > "store" >
tap the Apple ID and choose view"Apple ID" and sign in.
b. Tap on payment information and add a credit/debit card of your preference then select
"done", in the upper right corner
c. sign out and back into iTunes on the device by going to "settings"> "store" > tap the
Apple ID and choose "sign-out" > Tap "sign -in" > "use existing Apple ID" and you
should be asked to verify your security code for the credit /debit card and NOT the
security questions.
d. At this time you can remove the card by going back in to edit the payment info and
selecting "none" as the card type then saving the changes by selecting "done". You
should now be able to use your iTunes store credit without answering the security
questions.
It's working for me ...I just have to put in my 3 digit security pin from the credit card I am using.
Good Luck friends! -
I have a question that just came to mind.
If I purchased another iPod and hooked it up to my computer, would I be able to use the songs in my iTunes library with the new iPod?Yes. iTunes will recognize each iPod as unique. I am currently syncing four iPods to the same iTunes library. I use the "Sync selected playlists" option to select which music goes on which iPod.
Best of luck. -

Hi-
Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work? When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod? Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS. Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet. Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard. What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
Thanks-
DMitzThe 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store. Price is $129.
For 4G specs:
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply. -
ITunes and XP see new iPod(s) but perptually detect recovery mode
Hello.
We received two 80GB iPod Classics and a 160GB iPod Classic for Christmas. Had to install XP SP2 and iTunes 7.5.0.20 in order to load music. The iPods are detected by XP: the "Safely Remove Hardware" icon shows up in the TaskBar, and "Apple iPod USB Driver" and "USB Mass Storage Device" appear in Device Manager when the iPod is plugged into a(ny) USB port. The iPod then appears under "Devices" in iTunes but a dialog box always appears immediately, saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in Recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used with iTunes.".
So I did; iTunes downloaded a 57MB update for the iPod (v1.0.3) and installed it. It restarted the iPod and, as soon as it re-appeared in iTunes, it gave the same message.
The "Sync iPod" command in the "File" menu is greyed out so the only thing I can do is rename the iPod, but the name has reverted to "iPod" whenever I re-connect.
Tried several (new) cables and even bought a new USB 2.0 card; no joy. Subsequently used my daughter's new laptop (running Vista) to transfer songs to two of the iPods with no problem; the XP machine continues to report them as being in recovery mode even though they work fine.
The "five Rs" didn't work. Though I can watch iTunes and the iPod communicate when performing the Restore, iTunes' diagnostics curiously reports "No iPod found" (always).
I can only think of two potential problems:
1) The XP machine is somehow too old: dual PII 450
2) I have not applied any patches to XP; it's SP2 straight out of the box and I haven't authenticated it with Microsoft yet.
Has anyone seen behavior similar to this and found a solution?
Thanks
PS: it appears iTunes and the iPod can become confused about disconnecting when the eject icon is clicked after a second window has been opened - and even closed - by double-clicking the iPod device in iTunes; have to use XP to "Safely Remove Hardware" before the iPod acknowledges it's disconnected.Actually, Robert had the answer.
After I accidently "solved" the problem, my first network drive wasn't available. After re-booting and re-connecting the iPod, the problem returned.
Robert's reply then prompted me to check (via the Logical Disk Manager) the drive letter assigned to the iPod. Sure enough, it was using the same letter as my missing network drive. So if the iPod was connected during re-boot, it got the letter first and worked; otherwise the letter would be unavailable for the iPod.
I changed the iPod's drive letter to Z. (I had also removed and re-installed iTunes, and later Restored the iPod again, but I can't say for certain that either of those steps was necessary). The problem has now stayed solved - even after returning the BIOS setting to "Disabled".
So THANKS Robert. I'll see if I can follow Katrina's suggestion to award you Forum points.
