New iPhone - Enabling Sync Apps Help after having an old iPod Touch that was overloaded

I had an iPod Touch and it was overloaded with apps. So when I got the new iPhone I decided to start fresh and didn't sync it with iTunes immediately. I have about 50 apps on my iPhone that I actually want, and there are atleast 200 others on my iTunes that I don't want or need. When I plug in my iPhone and go to the apps tab on my iPhone, the sync apps isn't checked. If I check it it deletes all my apps on the preview window on the right, and none of the apps are checked. So I deleted all the apps on my computer and transfered purchases so i only had the ones that are on my iPhone. Now when I check sync apps, if i check all the apps, they are not in the right spots. I can move them later, but my real concern is whether or not it will delete anything I have done in the app like game progress. Any help would be great. Thanks

I have a new Iphone 5, my wife has a 4S and an iPod Touch. When I sync my new 5 to the Mac, it pick up ALL of the stupid game apps that my wife uses on her two devices. How can I keep them separate?

go to itunes preferences, store, uncheck automatic downloads. also when your phone is connected you can click on apps and only check the ones you want on your phone, go down to the bottom right and click apply.

I forgot to enable sync on multiple devices hence I lost the data that was synced from my desktop.

I had enabled firefox sync only on my desktop and forgot to enable sync on multiple devices.
I lost the data that was synced from my desktop as I have re-imaged my system with new OS and when i login into the sync account none of the bookmarks are recovered.
Can Firefox team provide me the data that was synced?

Hi darikere,
Unfortunately Sync was not meant to be a back up service. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. It is a mac. It hasn't had an update in a while and it needs an update to update apps and download new apps. It will not show up in itunes to get the update, nor will it let me update on the iPod. ???

I have an ipod touch that was set up on this computer. There are other ipods hooked up on this one, but this one won't work. it hasn't had an update in a while, and it won't let me update it because it won't connect to itunes, or show up on the computer. There is no place that says there is a software update on the ipod. I was wondering how to get it updated or at least get it connected to itunes?

See:
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X
If you have Snow Leopard do not forget the Additional Information paragraph.

Then get the previous owner to remove the iPod from their account
Apple's new iCloud tool can show if a used iPhone is stolen
If you can't get that done then all yo have is a poor flashlight. You are running into
Find My iPhone Activation Lock
Which is an anti-theft feature. Apple will not help since you are not the original purchaser of the iPod

What apps are compatible with on old iPod touch?

What apps are compatible with on old iPod touch? Running iOS 4

To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

If you are sure that your password is correct try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. On your iPod go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings. Now try to connect.

Can you transfer pictures from an old ipod touch to a new ipod touch without having the old ipod touch or the photos in Iphoto?

I somewhat recently got a new ipod touch after my screen cracked and the people at an Apple store said it would be cheaper to buy a new device completely. I followed everything they said about backing up my old device and when I went to pick up the new one, the store took the old one away.
Up until just a few days ago I did not realize Iphoto could hold pictures from your ipods. Mine never did it automatically, nor did anything ever seem to have the option to do. It just so happened that two days ago I was browsing the web when I noticed a website gave instructions on how to transfer photos. So I tried it and it worked for my new ipod while all the new photos.
But I was wondering if I could somehow get the old photos back from Itunes or my computer somewhere and transfer them into Iphoto or my new device. I was hoping that maybe if I could "back up" my old stuff onto my new ipod for a few moments it would show I have the old photos and I could transfer them into Iphoto and then restore the ipod touch back to what I have it currently.
If it helps, I'm pretty sure the old ipod touch I had was a 3gen as my new one I noticed was skinnier. As I said, I do not have the old touch anymore but I have the data in Devices on my Itunes if that makes a difference. Both my data for my old one and new one are in the Devices section of Itunes.
Thanks,

Restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod:

If you have a new phone, you can connect to iTunes and it will prompt to restore from your backup

I need to export photos from my ipod touch that was synced to my old PC which crashed. I have a new PC with itunes. My itouch is backed up to it now but I don't want to sync it because it warns that my itouch content will be erased. Help!

My old PC crashed. I now have a thousand or so pictures on my itouch and nowhere else. I have backed up this itouch to my new PC with itunes. I want to move or copy the pictures from my itouch to a folder on my new PC. The older photos do not show when I look at the folders, just a handfull of new pictures that were saved by game apps on the itouch. What is the best way to do this?

The photos are on the ipod. Photo sync will erase them. I need a way to extract them from the ipod, or to.extract them from the ipod backup that is who knows where on my PC.
I've been searching for an app to do that with no luck. They all seem to want a newer OS than is on my ipod yet I have the most recent update installed.

Since you have purchased a new Mac (which, BTW, is not typed in all capitals) why not buy a Time Capsule <http://www.apple.com/airport-time-capsule/> which is designed specifically to work with OS X and Time Machine?
You don't say what part of your Sony "crashed." If it was not the HDD it is possible to take the computer apart, put the HDD in an external case, then recover the data off of it (including the music) simply drag-n-drop. If it was the HDD that "crashed" that makes it more difficult.
If you are able to recover the music from the Sony you can then add it to the iTunes library on the Mac and iTunes Match will then scan, match and upload the tracks to be mirrored in the cloud.

Is there any way to sync apps from different computers in one ipod touch?

Hi
So, I have synced my iPod touch with iTunes in my mac and now I want to install some applications that my brother has in his computer.
*Is there any way I can sync applications in my iPod touch using different computers, without losing the apps that are already installed in the device?*
Thanks a bunch for your help!
Best,
Ezequiel

Wow, that was fast! thanks!
So, if I do that, I'll transfer all the apps from the iPod to my brother's computer and then I'll just need to sync everything back to my iPod... and I'll also need to do the same thing with my mac, in order not to lose the apps that I copied from my brother's pc, right?

Can i upload the same songs and apps to my new ipod touch that was on my stolen I pod touch?

You can redownload apps but music depends upon where you are located. See:

I got a new iphone and i clicked on restore from my old ipod, but then it deleted everything else off my iphone, is there any way to undo it or get my pictures, messages and contacts back?

please help me! 'i have only had it for a week

iTunes did exactly what you told it to do, restore the iPhone with the backup from your iPod. What did you want/expect?
Unless the iPhone had been backed up previously, all content that was on it is gone.

How do i delete an Apple id after my old ipod touch 1G was stolen

Having problem after my ipod touch got pinched from my mates car. He left it open by the beach duh!
So now someone else knows my ID - it is floating about somewhere in the settings and acount info on my old device right?
Can I swop that old Apple ID which was a @Yahoo account and get Apple to just allow me to sign in under my icloud.com address only?
Feeling quite gutted about losing the ipod but more so about the ID security issue.
Can anyone help with what maybe a dunce's question?
Its just I tried tinkering with the Account settings like this:
Make your Apple ID and primary email address one and the same.
Your Apple ID will be easier to remember, and your account will be easier to access and manage.
Change your Apple ID and primary email address to:
But it never takes effect. So how can I stop Apple allowing anyone access to my account by using this email to log in?
I'll take my chances with remembering a new email address - so long as its not on the ipod that got lost I dont mind.
PS: there was no email account setting on the ipod touch as I just used it for music/video storage only

If I read you correctly, your main reason for wanting to take action is so that whoever stole your iPhone will not know your Apple ID.
To my knowledge, there's no way to log out of your Apple ID on your iPhone, seeing as it's stolen. You may as well erase your iPhone, since it's lost anyways. To do that, go to icloud.com and then Find My iPhone. You can find your iPhone and erase it from there.
