New ipod to me from friend

A friend of mine gave me her ipod and i want to keep some of the music thats on it and take some off. yet theres not place for me to view the music thats already on it... just the music thats on my computer. HELP!

First connect it with your PC. Then it will ask you to delete all the music on it and play the music at your PC on it or not. You have to choose "Let the music on the iPod". Then the iPod is connected and you can import the music into iTunes from your iPod.

No problem.

New iPod Touch arrived from Apple today - Wifi inoperable

Brand New iPod Touch 32G just showed up from Apple via Fed-Ex today. First thing I tried was to join my Home Wifi. Same result as everyone else. DHCP is failing and the device gets a self-assigned IP address 169.254.X.X.
Before you start asking me about my router et. al., know that I have been working on this issue for 5 hours now. Had Apple on the phone for over an hour. They had me completely strip out iTunes on my Mac, and re-download and install it. I've upgraded to iOS 4.3.3, did a complete Restore of my BRAND NEW iPod, Reset Network Settings, h*ll I reset the entire device even after a FULL RESTORE. Tried Airplane mode On/Off. WiFi On/Off. Etc.
The clincher was taking this FULLY RESTORED iPod Touch to the Starbuck's across the street, next to a Verizon store. This device cannot even get on Starbuck's WiFi nor Verizon's WiFi - BOTH Public and Open.
I have a Verizon MiFi Mobile Hotspot as well - Same symptoms - No assigned IP.
I was able to get networking to my home Wifi to work, BUT ONLY IF I SET A STATIC IP PARAMETRICS. This is a solution to my Home Network, but not for ALL the OTHER Public WiFi networks out there.
Multiple Networks - Apple has a REAL problem here!!!
Please! Suggestions are welcome, but please don't ask me to repeat all the diagnostics I've already done.
(I wish these things were as easy to diagnose as my Android devices! At least I can shell in and see what's going on in those!)

4.3.3 does this on one of my four devices...with just one source.
Work with static router I.P. as best you can and wait for an iOS update.

HT201269 iTunes is recognizing my iPod as a new iPod even though I have my old stuff restored to it and it says the name of it but still asks to set up as new iPod or restore from a backup.

iTunes is recoznizing my iPod as a new iPod and only gives me the options of set up as new iPod or to restore from a backup. I put my old backup on it and everytime I plug it in it still recognizes it as a new iPod. I've tried restoring it several times and it doesn't help anything and I've also uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled it but it didn't help. Please I really need some help I can't download any music with it doing this.

There maybe better ways to do this, but this worked for me when things stopped working a couple of updates back.
Try this; Make sure your stuff is backed up on your computer first. plug the iPod to your computer and do the restore to factory setting. Then set up as if it's a brand new out of the box iPod. (DON"T use your backup copy) Go through all the steps of first time set up. Once complete, add back all your stuff, music, apps, pictures, etc. from your computer. I know it's a pain, but it worked for me.
By the way; the reason I'm doing this total restore is the RED square in the RED circle. All my music downloaded from CDs became unreadable / unplayable today, (worked fine yesterday-- today crap!!) and none of the fixes listed in this forum would work for me. So I started over, after the restore, the RED circles are gone and my music is playing.
Hope it works, Good Luck!

Just get my new iPod touch 5 from my local's apple store

Pre-orders are shipped today and arrive tomorrow (one-day shipping)..
Next time I will not pre-order..just go to apple store and buy it.. just a waste of time..

If you purchased the iPod from an Apple Store within the last 14 calendar days, you can return it for a full refund presuming that it's undamaged. Otherwise, Apple does not take trade-ins on iPods. All they'll give you is a recycling credit of 10% off the price of a new iPod, and obviously you could sell your iPod yourself for a lot more than that.
Regards.

New iPod Touch - restore from backup of (2nd gen?) iPod touch

Am buying the new iPod Touch w/additional features - camera, hi-res, quicker processor, etc. - than the (2nd) Gen Touch which I bot June 2009. Run on iMac, all software currently "up-to-date" - want to just transfer over all of my apps, music, data (within iPod apps), MobileMe links, Mail links, etc - from old device to new device. I'd also like to "wipe" the old device in order to give it to someone else without giving them access to my information. Anyone out there give me a "link" to get instructions on this? When I do my own searches in "support manuals" - I get a ton of non-applicable links....

Got a new ipod, restored it from original, now it will not turn on.

Got a new ipod, old one was broke. Tried itunes, asked if I wanted to restore. I restored and now the ipod will not turn on.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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.

Trying to transfer soungs from old ipod to new ipod, received error from

iTunes saying that "Some of the purchase items on ipod couldn't be transfer to itunes library because you're not authorized to play them on this computer" . That being said the computer is authorized already. When I go to authorize the computer I get "This computer is already authorized". Any suggestions?

This is referring to songs purchased from the iTunes Store. It's saying that some of the songs were purchased using a different account than your account. That's why you are not authorized to play those songs.

Bought new ipod, installed software from the cd but one problem

When I installed the ipod software from the cd and try to open itunes I get message that says "Itunes has encountered a problem and need to close, sorry for the inconvinience". I tried unsinstalling the software and installing again but thats not the solution, any tips.

hiya!
Itunes has encountered a problem and needs to close
the first thing that i check for when people report getting that message when they try to launch their itunes is a broken QuickTime.
try to open your QuickTime. does it launch properly, or do you get an error message?
if you get an error message, the first thing we'll try is a careful standalone QT 7.1 reinstall.
download and save a copy of the QT 7.1 standalone installer to your hard drive. (we'll run the install from there rather than online.) switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install.
Quicktime 7.1 Standalone Installer
if that install goes through okay, does your itunes launch properly again?
(if you get an error message on the QT standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

Why don't you call the nearby retailers and ask?

New ipod, music transferred from the library fine but I can't play from it

Sorry... I need to rephrase that one...

HT1202 My iPod is set to manually manage music. I have tons of different music from different computers on my iPod. Unfortunately my iPod is getting old and I'd like to purchase a new one. Is there any way I can transfer all the music to a new iPod?

My Ipod touch is set to manually manage music. I have put music from my computer and iTunes account onto it, and music from other people's computer and iTunes accounts on it. Unfortunately I dropped my iPod and the screen cracked. It still plays music and everything just fine, but it has problems with it's battery life so I'd like to just get a completely new iPod nano. Is there any way I can transfer all the music from my iPod touch onto a new iPod nano? From what I can tell it won't let me sync any of the music on my iPod touch that is from other people's computers onto my laptop, and so I wouldn't be able to put it on a new iPod nano. Hopefully that makes sense. I'd just really really like to be able to keep all that music and not lose 2/3 of my iPod touch music library because I want to put it on a newer Ipod.

Please help me, recover photos from computer to new ipod

Ok, my daughter got her 4g 32gb ipod soaking wet, and it does not work anymore. We got a replacement last night, and the old ipod had a bunch of photos on it that she needs for art class. (We have a macbook pro for the synching). We hooked up the new ipod, clicked restore from a backup, and not all of the photos are on the new ipod. Also, none of her apps are there either. I really want to recover the photos, i have a feeling they are still on the macbook pro floating in limbo somewhere, does anybody know how to get the apps and photos from the old, dead ipod to the new one using the macbook? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading my question.

The backup only contains photos directly imported to the iPod such as the taken with the camera, saved screen shots and email saved attachments. Photo synced to the iPod are not in the backup.
It appears the the apps were not restored to the iPod since the apps themselves are synced to the iPod and not included in the backup. App data is in the backup. You can redownload apps at no addition cost by:
How to redownload purchased apps from the App Store
If yo tell us more about where the photos that do not appear came from we may be able to help your.
