ITunes thinks I have a new iPod Touch

Hi
I got a new iPod Touch yesterday. I connected it to iTunes, synced it, updated to 2.0 firmware and charged it. Now, every time I connect it to iTunes, I get the welcome screen as though it's the first time I've plugged it in. When I click ok, it goes to the normal iPod screen and all my content is there and my sync preferences are ok, but it's a bit annoying having the welcome screen come up every time. I don't know if this is something to do with the update or not.
Has anyone else had this? Would restoring help?

I had this problem and a restore did resolve it, but I had to restore as *a new ipod* as restoring from backup didn't work... which meant I had to restore all settings manually .
What I think caused this problem is probably interrupting the first sync. Try restoring it as a new iPod, and don't sync any music, videos etc. to it just yet (i.e. uncheck all the boxes on the startup page or you'll be waiting a very long time for all of your music to sync) then wait until the iPod has synced completely. Then disconnect and re-connect again to find (hopefully) that the problem has gone away. Then you can sync everything back on your iPod.
The above is just my two cents. I might be entirely wrong.

HT1351 I have a new iPod Touch......I was able to successfully set up a new account, but I want it to be separate from the 800 songs I already have in my iTunes library. How do I set up a separate library on the same computer?

I have a new iPod touch; I have an iTunes library of music for an older iPod shuffle. I'd like to set up the iPod touch for my wife with a separate library of music - I was successful in setting up a separte account, but it seems my 800 songs are still there in the library. How do a set up a new account on the same computer without bringing along all the music that will clog up her iPod touch?

There's a few ways of doing it. The following document may be of some help:

Try:

- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT1296 I have a new ipod touch, how do i transfer my albums from my itunes libriary to it?

I have a new ipod touch, how do I transfer my music from my itunes library to my new ipod?

The same goes for everything you want on your iDevice, you synchronize it with iTunes.
It takes the same process for other items like Apps, Photos, Videos, Books, Ring Tones, Podcasts, etc.
iTunes is the window to your iDevices, to see what's on your device and sync things to it.
Personally I would rather a simple USB-drive method of putting things on and sort things how I would like them, but iTunes is the way Apple has done it.

My iPod has music and apps from my apple ID that I downloaded to my iPod via iCloud and some apps that I got free from the store, straight onto my iPod, but my laptop has some music on it aswell, separate from my other library. I want to put the music from my laptop into my iTunes library which I want to use on both computers. Is it possible to do this?
Thanks.

- You can only sync an iPod to one iTunes library/computer. You can however, manually manage music and videos among different libraries.
Go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.
- If y wnat to switch syncing libraries/computer see:
go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing>Sync your device manually and follow the instructions.

If all the synced media like music is in the iTunes library of the second computer it is very easy.

I have a new iPod Touch, so how can I deauthorise my "old" iPod Touch before giving it to my brother or husband?

Thank you.

Are you just trying to deauthorize it from your iTunes account, or do you want to totally erase it?
Your iPod touch is not actually authorized to anything other than the computer you sync it with; it is not authorized with the iTunes store the way your computer is. Giving your iPod to someone else won't give them your store info. Once they plug it into their own iTunes, it will force them to erase the whole thing in order to sync it with their own computer.
If you want to wipe the thing clean before giving it to them, plug it into your computer and choose the option to Restore it. (Or on the device itself, to go Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.)

I have a new iPod Touch and PC running Windows 7. I want to upload pictures from my PC to my iPod. The best I can do right now is to create a new subdirectory on my PC and put all the pictures I want in that subdirectory. I want many subdirectories! ??

I have a new iPod Touch. I also run Windows 7 on my desktop PC. I have tried to post pictures from my PC to the iPod. But the only way you can do this that I know of, is to create a subdirectory on the PC and put all of your pictures that you want on the iPod in that subdirectory. Then you must use iTunes to synchronize the PC subdirectory with photos on the iPod. But I want many subdirectories to organize my pictures on the iPod. Can you do this??, it doesn't look to me like you can!??
Thanks Tom

Yes.

I cannot now delete or load songs onto iphone unless I wipe them all and start again. Is there anything I can do to get round this problem?
Strange how I do not have this problem with my ipod nano!!
Many thanks all.

+Strange how I do not have this problem with my ipod nano!!+
What folders did you back up and then restore after reinstalling Windows? The nano does not use a few folders that iPhones/iTouch/iPads use. But they both use the same library database file, iTunes Library.itl. That is the main file that tells itunes if a device has been synced to it.

Okay so I have a new ipod touch...but I need to get music out of my old nano to my itues w/out wiping out my old nano...how do i do this? new laptop so itues is new...please help

You need to authorize your new computer in iTunes with the same account that is synced to your nano (and old iTunes)
In the menu bar click Store >> Authorize This Computer…
This will allow your purchased music to be re-downloaded from iTunes and played on your new computer.
If you did not purchase the music through iTunes, you may need a third-party program to get the music off the nano. However, It is much easier (by far) to move your old library from your old computer to the new one if you still have access to the old files. iTunes will not transfer music from your nano to the computer. It is a one-way sync.
If you still have access to your old files, search google for how to transfer an itunes library, and follow someones instructions. It's not too complicated. You may want to specify mac to pc, pc to mac, mac to mac, or pc to pc, as the instructions will change.

Yes. It will not effect your other iPod.
However. change the name of the newer iPod if necessary to avoid confusion if the second one is named the same as the first
