My grandson bought a used ipod....we want to use our library to download.  My computer does not recognize it and will not let me sinc.  The previous owners name comes up.... help

My grandson bought a ipod from a friend.  We want to use our itunes music.  It shows the old owners name and does not give us an
option to download any music.
Any help?
The previous owner cleaned out all the music, videos and pictures. 
But not sure how to restore back to factory. 

Hi,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
Good luck,
Dud.

  • How do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

    how do i uninstall iphoto? it was preinstalled on my macbook pro when I bought it used and I can only update with the previous owners password.

    Do you have the current MacOS X version 10.10.2?
    Then you can simply move iPhoto from the Applications folder to the Trash,
    sign into the App Store with your own AppleID
    reload the "Featured" main page of the AppStore with ⌘R,
    then download iPhoto with your own AppleID.
    Make a backup of your iPhoto Library, before your launch the new iPhoto the first time,
    If your current system is not Yosemite, you can only buy a boxed iLife 11 version of iPhoto to install it independent of the previous owner.

    Your MBP should have been given to you with the original installation disks and OS.  The Lion OS is licensed to the person who sold it to you.  You will have create your own account and purchase Lion if you wish to use it.  Those are the stipulations in the licensing agreements.

    Take it back where you got and and get your money back.
    As has been pointed out, if there was a "previous owner", the phone is not "new". Thephone you purchased is most likely stolen. If whoever you bought it from won't give you your money back, turn it over to the police.

  • HT1320 I have a new IPod Touch 5G, 32 gb and suddenly it will not turn on, and will not restore using UTunes.  Any help appreciated.

    I have tried many times to restore my  new IPod Touch 5G in I Tunes and it will not allow me to do it.  My Ipod will not turn on at all even when on a fresh charge.  Only displays the arrow leading up to ITunes logo.  I have tried the method of holding the home button and on button and this does not work.  Any help appreciated.
    My I Pod was working fine until the day I updated the software to 6.0.1.

  • My ipod will not turn on and will not show up on my itunes

    I've never had any issues with my iPod touch before and used it frequently. I quit using it for a couple of months and it wouldn't turn on. I left it plugged in for almost a whole day, and nothing changed. I tried resetting the iPod but hitting the home and power button until the apple logo appeared, and still nothing. I tried plugging my iPod into my Mac to restore it on itunes, and itunes will not even recognize the device. Please help!

    See Here...
    Frozen or unresponsive iPod touch
    Try this First...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • My ipod shuffle will connect to itunes on computer but will not fully charge and will not play songs

    My Ipod shuffle was washed in a washing machine but dried completely. Now it will connect to my itunes on my computer but will not completely charge or play songs. Can anyone tell me if this is a lost cause and I should buy a new one or is there hope that I can fix this.

    Moisture will cause short circuits, so the battery is being affected.  The audio output is also affected.  You really can't tell if it is completely dry, on the inside.  So, it's possible the current condition will improve if it is left alone to dry out for while longer.  It is also possible that moisture (and short circuits) caused permanent damage.
    Since it is recognized in iTunes, you can try doing a Restore (from the shuffle's Summary or Settings tab).
    There is nothing else you can do (actively) to fix it, so if you want to have a usable shuffle now, you'll need to get a new one.  You can leave this one alone for a month or so (in a dry well-ventilated location), and try it again.  If it works, you'll have a new shuffle and a backup.

  • Ipod touch will not turn on and will not connect to computer!

    Help please!  I accidentally dropped my ipod the other day (it has dropped before and not been a problem) and now it won't turn on or connect to a computer.  I have googled it and tried everything!  It is still under warranty but unfortunately the warranty doesn't cover accidents. Any suggestions?? 

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. It could be that the water corroded the contacts so try to clean any corrosion from them.
    - Then charge overnight and try what you did before
    If still does not work:
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs.. They do not fix yours.

    You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:

    or send it in to Apple. See:
