New itouch and syncing

If I plug in my new itouch i will be receiving in a few days and sync it, will it take all of the music from itunes even if i had another older itouch attached to my account?..I dont care about the old itouch and will not be using it anymore and I do not need to transfer any of the music from it, so would I have to remove that itouch and add the new one? How can i do that? Or am I over thinking this and it would sync fine.

It will take whatever music you tell it to. Go to the iTunes music tab.

Make sure the computer is authorized. From the iTunes menu bar click Store / Authorize This Computer.

Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4?

Is it possible to set up my iPhone 5 as a new phone and sync ONLY my contacts and apps from my iPhone 4? Or do I have to set up my iPhone 5 by using my iPhone 4 backup (I'd rather not)?

Contacts are not stored in a backup, so a restore will not bring them in. Contacts, along with all the other Apple databases (log into icloud.com with a browser and look at the various pages - this is what I call the Apple databases) are contained in their own locations on the servers. You should be able to take a new device, go to Settings>iCloud, log in to the icloud account, then turn on the services (e.g. contacts) you want to sync. They will then be synced to the device. That has nothing to do with a restore and with the old iphone 4. As for apps, their listing and locations on the screens are stored in a backup. If you don't restore, then go to the itunes app store, look under Purchased Apps and download them again.

My kids have new itouches and we put same acct as my iphone but now they have my contacts, calendar etc. How do we change acct and can we keep music

My kids have new iTouches and I have an iphone. I set up their accts same as mine to share iTunes/iCloud but now they have all my contacts, calendar, and messages go out weird from them. What should I do ?

You can share the same Apple ID for purchasng form the iTunes and app stores without any problems, but you should all used separate iCloud accounts with separate Apple IDs. (You are not required to use the same ID for iCloud and other services as you do for the iTunes store.) This will prevent you from ending up with merged data. You should also use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and FaceTime or you will end up getting each other's text messages and FaceTime calls.

Buying a new mac and syncing old ipad.

Here goes.
So I want to buy a new Mac, and sync by old iPad with it.
Normally when you do this you get a message saying by syncing this iPad you will erase all your data.
But I am using time machine to back up my Mac, so if when i get my new Mac and plug in my time capsule, will my itune libary be the same on the new mac?
And in turn when i plug in my old iPad with the new Mac will it just sync like normal without erasing all data and needing to start again?
Please help...
Kind Regards.

Yeah. Plug it in using a wire or do it wirelessly... The set up options has a "restore from Time Machine" option. It should be pain free. Might take you awhile, especially if you restore wirelessly. You should have everything restored: files, settings, etc. For me personally, I backup everything on my external hard drive and I just drag and drop everything manually instead of using the Time Machine user interface. Both way works and achieves the same end result. I don't recommend my way unless you are really familiar with Macs and knows where files are.

Will downloading itunes to a new pc and syncing my phone cause me to lose data?

Will downloading itunes to a new pc and syncing my phone cause me to lose data?

Hey Davidl678,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are unable to download the purchases from your purchase history, because iTunes believes the songs to be in your library. It may be necessary to delete the items from your library, then re-download from your purchase history. Before doing so, you may want to take note of which song are available for re-download:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Delete songs, playlists, or other items

Replacing iTouch and Syncing new one.

I am replacing my 3rd generation iTouch with a 5th gen. When I connect to my PC for the 1st time will I be able to sync all of my old content onto the new iTouch? Does the name of the new iTouch need to be different from the old one? Will my settings (subscriptions) for podcasts remain the same? Any help greatly appreciated!

I am soon going to receive my new ITouch and i want to know to download my music from my Mac.I already had an itouch but it froze so I want only a portion of my music in my library.

Hi
I will soon be receiving my new ITouch as it will be replacing my previous one as it broke. My question is when I connect my new device to my computer to download my music do I have to get all of my music that is in my library or can I be selective as to what I put on my new ITouch?

How do I transfer my entire music collection to a new computer and sync my iphone with new mac without deleting existing music in iphone?

Hi All,
I will describe my current setup and the required setup below. Please help me with the steps to do this
Current setup:
OS: Windows 7
Total Music collection: 80GB of mp3 , which is NOT added to itunes library (I use foobar)
iTunes Music collection: around 500 songs, synced to my iphone (unchecked "manually manage" that meeans all these songs are in itunes library)
Now the required setup: (Since I am planning to get a macbook pro)
OS: Mac OS (This means the music file path will be different)
Total Music collection: 80GB which is to be added to itunes library
iPhone Music: The same 500 songs as before.
Is this possible? In Mac OS I want my entire 80GB to be added to itunes library, also keeping my existing iphone songs intact.
Any ideas?

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music [library] to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527 - a somewhat bewildering and not always easily understandable set of options.
For the record there's this reference for iTunes 11 but it really doesn't strike me as having the specifics you need. iTunes 11 for Mac: Move your library to another computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12168
2011 ilounge article: Transferring your iTunes library - http://www.ilounge.com/index.php/articles/comments/moving-your-itunes-library-to -a-new-hard-drive/ - An article with good background information (similar to the links above), particularly if you are not sure your media files are all grouped for quick answer above. Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library"). Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.
Windows users see tip at: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18879381
Consider moving everything from your Windows PC to your Mac in a single move, including your iTunes library: About Windows Migration Assistant - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4796 - Learn about how to use Windows Migration Assistant to migrate your files from a Windows PC to a Mac.
Transferring the library as above will connect your i-device to the same library on the new computer even though it is stored on different hardware. You should not see the "erase & sync" prompt, and syncing will preserve game scores and other data on the device.
As for the 80GB of music in foobar, add that to the iTunes library at some stage by dragging those files to the Automatically Add To iTunes folder.

I created a new apple id account so that I didnt have to share my icloud with my brother, if i plug my phone into my computer onto my new account and sync it, then delete my old icloud from my phone will my new icloud be backed up and have all my pics ect

I've just created this new apple ID account and i need to know that if i plug my phone into my computer and sync my phone onto my new account, then delete my old icloud and apple account from my phone will my things be backed up onto my new icloud? such as my pictures notes contacts music ect... ?

Providing your Apple ID is not a .me or a .Mac address, you can change it with Apple and continue to use your account.
Start here, change your country if necessary and go to manage your account.
Once who have done this you can then correct it on your mobile device.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
When you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
If however, your Apple ID was a .me or a .Mac address, then you will need to create a new account, follow the instructions above for deleting your account on your mobile device and then tap the "create Apple ID" button to create a new account.

Loaded itunes on a new computer, and synced ipad. Now only those few songs I had on the ipad are in my library. But all of my ipods (3) have my full music library. How do i get all my songs moved back into my library from one of my ipods?

I installed itunes on a new laptop, with Windows 8, and synced my ipad. Now my music library has only those few songs I had synced to the ipad, or roughly a quarter of my original library. My ipods (all three) still have the full library, but everytime I try to sync them, I am asked if I want to delete all of the contents and replace with the (much smaller) itunes library. Of course I don't, but how do I "reverse sync" and replace all the music contents of my library with the contents from one of my ipods?

I just got a new itouch and i can't get imessage or facetime to work on my home network

I just got a new itouch 4 and i can't get imessage and facetime to work on my home wifi network (Airport Express). I can't explain it. The itouch works fine otherwise uncluding the internet. Facetime and imessage work at the apple store so there must be something wrong with my home network. Please help if you can!
iPod touch, iOS 5.0.1

I changed the DNS to 8.8.8.8 as you suggested with no success, I even tried 8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4 as suggested by others with no success either. When I try and activate iMessage or Facetime, I still get the same message "could not sign in, please check your network connection". The internet and Mail work perfectly fine on the iPod touch so the WiFi signal IS going through. I am at a loss, any other suggestions would be more than welcome. Thanks!
