Lost ipod touch, new iphone...would like my apps & music back! HOW?
I lost my ipod touch and no longer have the computer with the itunes account that was attached to it. I bought a new iphone and would like to download all of my old apps and music that I had on my lost ipod touch. Any idea's??
Thge 2G iPod can only go to iOS 4.2.1. Many apps not require iOS 4.3 or later.
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac you need OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.
You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync". -
I am unable to login to my itunes match since I got a new iphone. Where is my music? how can I get it?
Hello there, jane_apple_user.
The following Knowledge Base article reviews the steps for how to add your iOS device to iTunes Match:
iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
To add an iOS device to iTunes Match
On your iOS device, go to Settings>Music.
Note: iTunes Match requires iOS 5.0.1 or later; you can find the latest iOS software here
Tap the iTunes Match switch to On.
To access your music in iCloud, open the Music Player app on your device.
Your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your device.
Important:
When enabling iTunes Match on your iOS device, the music library on your iOS device will be deleted and then replaced with your music in iCloud.
Syncing music with iTunes will be disabled while iTunes Match is enabled on your iOS device.
By default, when adding an iOS device to iTunes Match, downloading over a cellular network is enabled1. To disable downloading over cellular for iTunes Match, choose Settings > Music > Use Cellular Data > Off.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro. -
How do you update your Ipod touch with out losing all my apps, music, movies, and pics?
How do I update my ipod touch with out losing all my apps,music,pics ect?
Just do the update on your syncing computer. All the items should be in your iTunes library or, for synced photos, on the computer. The items will be synced back to the iPod during a latter stage of the update.

Can I download i OS 5 onto my 2nd generation iPod touch? Is it possible to get my iPad music via iCloud onto the iPod 2nd generation? If yes, please can you tell me how? Thanks
You can download purchases from itunes as long as they still carry them. they may not be available forever.
All of your music and everything esle should be on your computer and backed up with your regular backup copy of your computer.
You can download most itunes purchases on ipad, ipod touch and iphone.
I see no reason to have an ipod and an iphone.
If your ipad/iphone/ipod crash you would have to restore using itunes on your computer.
I would not reccommend using an iphone ipod/ipad without a computer. -
My husband has synced his new iphone to my itunes account and consequently I've lost all of my itunes music files. However I have them all on my ipod touch and would like to know how I can sync the music library from my ipod touch to my computer and thus back on my iphone.
iTunes purchases by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer
For other music you need a third-party program like on of those discussed here:

I have had an ipod touch for some time now. A lot of my music is stored on our home pc.The music on the pc is stored in my itunes library, and also on the Touch.
I have now bought an ipod Classic 160gb.
I have also bought a new pc laptop.
I would like to transfer the music from my itunes library, which is on the Touch, to my new laptop and then onto my new Classic.To transfer your iTunes Library...
From your Old Computer... Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..
An Added Bonus is that you will then have a Backup of iTunes...

With regard as to what is on your Touch, you will need a 3rd Party Software... Google would be your friend... -

Try ejecting your iphone from iTunes and then close iTunes. Now retry. Hope this helps.

I have a Windows PC with iTunes and an iPod Touch. I also have a Verizon MiFi. I would like to be able to sync music to two locations. Would the Airport Extreme accomplish this, and if so, are there step-by-step instructions somewhere?
No, it will sync the ipod to the content of the MBA which presumably has nothing on it (= erasing content of iPod and replacing it with nothing).
Ideally:
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

if you absolutely must use the iPod:

I would really like to include all the songs in my library thatare on my pc on my ipod touch, but the ones that I downloaded years ago by cd show up on my pc library but not my ipod touch library. I've tried looking on support but haven't found anything so far that has worked.
Only music that you purchased from iTunes will show in the Purchased links - music that you bought from other sites or copied from CDs will only be where you put it e.g. on your computer and/or on your backup copy of your library.
If you want that music on your iPod then you will need to sync it from your computer to your iPod.
The only way that you would be able to download that music directly on your iPod, as opposed to syncing it from your computer, is if you have subscribed to iTunes Match and uploaded it to to that from your computer.
When you try to sync it, you are connecting the iPod and selecting it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes under 'Devices' (on iTunes 11 on a PC you can enable the sidebar via control-S) e.g.
On the right-hand side of the iTunes window there should then be a series of tabs, including one for 'Music' - if you select that you should be able to select which of your computer's iTunes music to sync to the iPod. -
Getting frustrated . There's supposed to be all these built in apps...but I don't have them on my iPod touch. How do I get the App store onto there?

Lost devices are not normally covered by warranties...may be by home owner's insurance, but not always there either. Did you setup iCloud and Find My...?

I got all my music from iTunes and when I play a track it doesn't play. I just got this new iPod so why isn't it playing my music
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync/delete music from iPod and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
My problem is my husband and I use the same itunes account so everything we download on our i pad or i phone goes to both . Can we change this without losing our personal choices.
Settings App > iTunes & App Store > Automatic Downloads [turn off the catagories you do not wish to be auto-downloaded].
You will want to do this on both devices -
I have lost my iPod touch however it was not connected to wifi network , how do i find it . A reply would be very appreciated
you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
