New iPod touch vs. iPod on iPhone

Dear all
I have a 5th Gen iPod and also a 3G iPhone.
To me, using the same headphones and eq setting on both, the 5th Gen iPod sounds better than the iPod on the phone. The sound is just a lot 'richer' and expansive on the 5th Gen Ipod when compared to the iPhone.
My question to those who have a new iPod Touch is:
Is the Touch exactly the same as the iPod on the iPhone, or do you notice a difference in sound quality on the Touch?
I'm thinking of buying a Touch but won't do so if I'll just get what I already have on the iPhone in terms of sound quality.

As far as sound quality goes, I've got (as u can see from my signature) a bunch of ipods. Each model sounds different. IMO, the best sounding unit is the 4G full size ipod, which was my very FIRST ipod, years ago. The Touch doesn't have the fidelity of the big ipod, in my opinion. The shuffles I have (I have 3 of them and my wife has 1) are the most inferior sounding of all, but that doesn't prevent me from using them when I want something small. ipod sound quality is hardly of audiophile quality if one is picky enough. but it's still enjoyable to listen to music that's got a high enough bit rate. I rip at 320.

Is there a way to transfer data from a broken ipod to a new ipod or iphone

my ipod refuses to take a charge or even reconize when its plugged in so it remains dead. I was wondering if an apple support store would be able to open the ipod and extract the data that way so it can be tranfered to a new ipod or iphone?????????

Sorry didn't read your post correctly.
You can always try - Genius Bar appointments at your nearest Apple Store are free.
You can also try to recover data from your last backup...

Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch

A colleague just told me about this announcement from Apple -
Apple Unveils All-New iTunes U App for iPad, iPhone & iPod touch -
http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2012/01/19Apple-Unveils-All-New-iTunes-U-App-for -iPad-iPhone-iPod-touch.html
Do any fellow iTunes U administrators know anything about this? How is existing content presented in the new app? Would we need to change anything? How do we access / make available the new features?
The new features sound fantastic but it would have been nice to have some warning. I appreciate that Apple has to keep specific details about developments confidential but it's slightly disconcerting that iTunes U administrators were not forewarned about this new development and that there has been no mention of it on this forum. Also - and at the risk of sounding like a broken record - it really would be helpful for iTunes U administrators to have a private forum (perhaps an add-on to Public Site Manager) where we could discuss issues and share ideas and best practice etc.

Greetings Tom;
I watched the Apple's Keynote presentation and I'm amazed! I'm really excited about the possibilities this opens up for educators. I, like you am still processing all of the information and sorting out the possibilities.
Did you get the email about the Webcast on Wednesday the 25th at 10:00 AM PT that's going to cover the new iTunes U Corse Manager and how to publish through iTunes U Site Manager? Hopefully this is available to you in the UK. We'll keep in touch. All the best...

I have an iphone 4 and i just bought an ipod touch 5th gen. I need to sync everything from my iphone 4 to my new ipod touch. Please read description beloew for further.

I have an iphone 4 16 gb and got an ipod touch 64 gb because i needed more momory. i need to sycn everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th gen i just bought. i just downloaded the latest version of itunes as well. To be honest, the newest version of itunes is hard to use and not as user friendly in my opinion - or i may not know how to use it yet. Anyways, i tried to backup my iphone to itunes and then restore my new ipod from the backup of the iphone 4, but it only backed up phoyos, contacts, and two other things (games was not one of them). Then when I restored my ipod, that is all that downloaded onto the ipod as well. I would really appreciate if someone would be able to provide me with detailed instructions as to how to be able to download everything from my iphone 4 to my ipod touch 5th generation. Thanks in advance!

Well first you need to sync your iPhone 4 with your Mac/PC so that it will transfer all your music, apps, podcasts, etc. Then sync your iPod Touch and the media you selected during the sync should be there on your iPhone. If you have difficulty in transferring media from iPhone to your computer, try softwares like TransCopy. They will help in transferring data from your iphone to your computer. Dont forget to check that all the transferred data is in the iTunes media folder so that the iTunes can locate the files. Link to Transcopy software :

My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id. It sync'ed and got my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted them off her ipod. Unfortunately, my iphone then 'synced to the cloud' and I lost all my contacts.

My daughter got a new ipod touch and set it up using my apple id. Once she sync'ed it, she had all my contacts, so she went ahead and deleted the ones she didn't want. Unfortunately, my iphone then sync'ed to the cloud and all my contacts were wiped out (the ones she deleted).
So, I wiped my iphone and did an icloud backup/restore. This restored all my apps, but my contacts are still the ones from when my daughter did her update. It doesn't appear as though I got back my contacts, even though I chose an icloud backup from before the deletion. Logging into icloud shows the reduced/deleted contacts, not the full list I had, and I can't see a way to revert back to an old copy.
Any ideas? I thought restoring from the cloud would have done it, but the contacts I got were the 'current' copy, not an older/archived copy.
I'd appreciate any ideas. None of the articles I found seemed to address retrieving an 'old' copy of your contacts from the cloud.

The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone.

My main PC with my Itunes Library just crashed. I still have all my music on Apple TV, Ipod Touch (Gen 2), and Iphone 4 (verizon). How can I get everything set up on a new PC and working ?

I downloaded Itunes 10.2 on new desktop, ran sync with my ipod touch (Gen 2) and have all my music on new PC. Just can't get it to sync with my Apple TV (Gen1). I have made music purchases on Apple TV and cannot get them to Ipod/Iphone? Help

My daughter has a new ipod touch and when synced it had all of my iphone contacts. she deleted the ones she didn't want and they were removed from my phone as well. How can I get them back if they were deleted from the cloud? I also had them on my pc

My daughter bought a new ipod touch and when synced received the contacts from my iphone. She deleted the ones she didn't want on her ipod and now they are gone from my iphone. I have the cloud and i thought back up on itunes. I have tried to re-sync and no luck. How can I get my contacts back?

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

New iPod Touch to match iPhone 3G S?

Are there any plans to upgrade the Touch hardware to match the new iPhone 3G S? I'm looking to buy, but don't want to buy if a new Touch is in the works. Specifically, the oleophobic screen sounds like its worth waiting for.
TIA
Mark

Nobody here knows for sure if a new iPod is in the works, but I doubt very much that Apple have stopped developing them.
Apple haven't announced any new models, but in the last few years, new iPod models have been released in September.

Restore new Ipod Touch from iPhone 4 backup...

I bought my son an iPod touch as he is constantly asking to play games on my iPhone 4. I want to transfer the games from my iPhone 4 to his iPod, including the save data. Is it possible for me to simply restore his new iPod from my latest iPhone backup? I can then delete any apps he would not be using, etc.

yes.
in fact, when you connect the Touch to iTunes for the 1st time, you should be asked if you want the back up of your iPhone to be restored to the Touch.

How to sync iphone app to new ipod touch

hi, im new to this. i've been downloading quite a lot of paid apps from iphone 3GS. now i have this new ipod touch. how do i sync the paid apps to my ipod touch?
thanks

Welcome to the discussions,
you can use the apps as well if you're using the same account and if they don't use or need features that only the iphone has, for example the camera app or video apps.
Your ipod will be recognized as a separate device and you can set it up as you wish.

Does the new ipod touch have the same camera optics as the iphone 4S?

Does the new iPod Touch have the same camera optics as the iPhone 4S?

Thank you for your reply. But once again if you can clarify please: Let's say I want to purchase the new white iPod Touch (introduced October 2011), will it have the 8 MP camera and improved optics? I'm wondering because I love to take photos and use photo-sharing apps, and I've read so many great reviews on the outstanding camera of the iPhone 4S - but I can't afford the iPhone just yet (also because of my current phone contract) so I was wondering if the newest iPod Touch camera is the same as iPhone 4S. I have the iPod Touch 4th gen, the one introduced Sept 2010, and as you may know that camera isn't the best. I just want to take better photos to share.
Thank you.

TS1702 How can I transfer a game and game files (Minecraft) from my iphone to my grandson's new ipod touch. Is there a way to do it without having to restore his ipod from my iphone?

How can I transfer a game and game files (Minecraft) from my iphone to my grandson's new ipod touch. Do I have to restore the ipod from my iphone or can I just transfer this one game (plus files).

Back your device via icloud and restore on other ipod via icloud.

Ok, so I want to buy the new iPod touch 5g this week and I have an iPhone 4. I want to transfer all the data from the phone to the iPod and have the files the exact same. I don't want to redo data, say erase game data (campaigns, achievements)...

I have apps that have very important data on them and if I sync it to iTunes and then transfer all that data to the iPod Touch 5g, will that erase app data?

Why did my reminders show from my iphone to my daughters new ipod touch?

Why are the reminders from my iphone the only things that are showing on my daughers new ipod touch? And how do I undo this?

Because Reminds an other things are linked to the iCloud account used on the devices. Isuspec they two devices all use the same Apple ID and thsu all by default use the same iCloud account.
I would create a NEW account for yor daughter using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
