Set up "new" (used) ipod touch with my info

I purchased a used ipod touch as my new and only device, replacing a 1st gen touch  I want to set up this device with my info, name it etc...  I cannot find a way to "rename" the device as mine.  No problem loading my library, however, to do so I must input my account and password each time I sync.  How do I replace the original user's info wit my own.  Thanks.

    On the computer you should be able to go to the network properites. Go to the TCP part and unchec the line that says obtaind DNS automatically and check the one that says use the following. Add the 8.8.8.8 and Google other 8.8.4.4.

  • I set up my sons ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my iphone

    I set up my son's ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my Iphone.  How can I set up Imessage from his email account instead of my email/phone #?

    You can go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and uncheck the phone number and delete your email address. You can add his own email address. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID for Messages that is not associated with an iPhone. You can change it by Go to Settings>Messages>Apple ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID

  • How do I Set up a used iPod touch on windows with content from my own iPod ?

    Am giving my son my used 32 Gb IPod Touch 3rd generation to replace his own ailing iPod touch.
    What are the steps to follow to create a mirror image of HIS DEVICE from his last backup onto mine so it becomes a clone of his old one ???

    Have him do a normal backup-and-sync operation with his old iPod Touch on his computer (or his account on your computer, however you have this arranged). Disconnect his old iPod Touch from the cable, plug in the replacement iPod Touch, and choose to RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will replace all his settings, media, apps, and even the data stored by individual apps. In all ways it should look and behave just like his old iPod Touch, only without whatever was "ailing" it.

  • Music playback issues using the new white iPod Touch with Ford's Sync System

    When I connect my new 32GB white iPod Touch to the USB port of my 2011 Ford Focus' Sync system, I hear a lot of static and popping noises while the music is playing. It's almost like listening to old vinyl records.  Has anyone else experienced this issue?

    Absolutely have had this issue.
    Here's a fix (but I hate it we have to do it this way):
    You have to make sure your iPod's volume is turned all the way up. The static will clear. I haven't found a way around this. The Ford system ***** for that reason. Shouldn't have to rely on our iPods running at full volume in order to work. Seems to kill the battery quicker. But hey, at least you'll have clear sound.
    Lemme know if it worked for you.

  • Is there any way to use iPod touch with Win2000/SP4?

    Got an iPod touch for christmas... very cool. It doesn't synch with my computer... not so cool.
    The information I've found - compatibility chart at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60971 - suggests that I'm SOL with Win2000 - it appears that I can't upgrade past iTunes 7.3 whereas 7.4 seems to be required for the Touch. Are there any hacks our ways around this, or am I just going to have to suck it up...? I don't like using sketchy pirated OS's but I'm not real excited about going out and buying a new OS either.

    There is no way for you to use iTunes with Win2K and the Touch. You can use 3rd party software, WinAmp, with a plug-in: http://www.winamp.com/ but this will not let you download upgrades and purchase 3rd party software for the Touch when it becomes available.

  • Setting up Mail on iPod Touch with a POP server

    I can create an email account setup on my iPod Touch using my ISPs' POP connection. However if I go onto my wifes' MacBook or my MacBook Pro under Mail it shows the messages as still being unread. Is there any solution to this issue, so that once I read an email on my iPod Touch it will also show read (or deleted for that matter) on my other Macs?

    Hey bluespower,
    The messages on the POP server cannot be marked as read in Mail on your mac after being read on the iPod touch. This is a limitation of a POP email account. You can setup an IMAP account with .Mac, Gmail, or Yahoo! and have this feature. This article will provide more information: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=51729
    If you goto Settings> Mail> tap the account> Advanced, you'll see options for deleting emails from the server using the iPod touch.

  • Using ipod Touch with OS 4.11 (Tiger)

    Hi- I'm just wondering if I buy an ipod touch ( was thinking of a refurbished 2nd generation ) will there be any problems connecting to my Mac with OS 4.11 (Tiger)
    I haven't updated my OS since I also use Logic Studio + Sibelius and there 've been some problems with
    compatibility.
    Thanks, Seadream

    Can you explain ? How do you know ?
    The thing is, I actually don't want to be paying an extra regular monthly internet fee for the iphone since I'm mostly at home with direct 'free' access over the mac.
    But I occasionally go away on courses, and then I'd like to be able to use certain apps ....... hence my interest in the ipod Touch.
    I've bought a refurbished one from the Apple Store - this one, though from the German site since I live in Germany -
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/FC086?mco=MTM3NTc1Njc
    and it says you can use it with 10.4.11 which is what I've got .......... do you think this is bunkum ?

  • Using iPod touch with speaker dock

    I put my iPod touch on my speaker dock, and it connects and charges. But, the music just comes out of the iPod and not the speaker. How do I get it to come out of the speaker?

    Make sure the iPod is correctly sitting on the dock. I had exactly the same problem with my iPhone. Try moving your iPod around abit while its sitting on the dock, moving it forwards and backwards slightly. Overall your more than likely to have to take your speaker dock back where you bought it from, or buy a new one.

  • Any experience using iPod touch with Onkyo DS-A1x iPod dock?

    Just bought Onkyo home theater with DS-A1x iPod dock.
    Will test it out tonight, but can't locate any user feedback on
    web.
    Anyone out there tried this combo?

    So far my experience is positive BUT.
    The sound of the system is great. It charges the iPod touch just fine.
    However, no video so far. Rsearching if cable/connector difference for iPod touch versus other iPods..
    Remote functions work generally but the palylist/album swithcing is hard to figure out. Might make more sense with actual video.
    Hey - DS-A2X user! How does the video work on yours? Do you see whatever the iPod is deisplaying or only when it pays a video or photo slideshow?
    Stay tuned for more developments.

  • Using iPod Touch with Bluray Player

    I have an LG Bluray player with a built in iPod dock. I recently loaded some movies on my iPod and would love to watch them on my tv. I can bring them up when docked, and the sound works just not the video. Does anyone know the appropriate way to connect the Bluray to the TV for video? Do I need to buy an extra cord or do I just need to rearrange the cords I have now? This is new to me, so any suggestions would be great! Thanks!

    I've never heard of such a thing what model blu-ray player is it

  • Problem with using ipod touch with appblaster

    I bought my son an appblaster and when the ipod is inserted the background does not move and the screen does not respond.  When another ipod is used it works fine.  Could this be due to it being cracked when dropped previously?

    What model iPod is it?  The description says it needs a 4G iPod.  That is the one with the camera.

  • Using ipod touch with a Alpind 9883 Head unit

    does anyone know why the alpine 9883 head unit will not allow me to browse artist,albums,and songs when itouch is connected?

    Buy one elsewhere and then take it in and tell the Applites how well it works with your G4 and how they lost a sale because of their comments. That'll teach them younguns!
    Yeah, I noticed the guy had me stand right next to the MacBooks while I was waiting for him to get my purchases. Funnily enough, this was after I told him I was running on a 1GHz G4 iBook...
    It will work fine, just slowly. As much as I hate to say this, in fact my fingers are cramping to prevent it, go to a local Best Buy with the Apple Store in a Store and ask the person manning it (if you can find them) this same question. They are in a great position to walk you over to the available selections. Just don't talk to the morons in the blue shirts.
