Setting up the ipod touch

Is it possible to set up the basic functions without being connected to the net? I'm having to wait two weeks before I can if I can't (the delay being the time taken for the internet connection to be setup!)
i can wait the two weeks for the things like the iTune library and so on, I would just like the organiser parts of it to start with.

I cant even remember if my cable modem was on when I setup mine
it's a music player it should not require the internet for anything

ITunes wants me to set up the iPod Touch - but I already have

My daughter has a 4th gen iPod touch. When she got it about 6 months ago, I set it up by connecting to my MacBook Pro. Today I wanted to back it up, which we have never done before. When I connect it to iTunes, the only options I get are to set it up from new or restore it from a backup. I don't have a backup obviously, and if I set it up as new, she will lose all the messages from her friends and the home movies she has made.
Why don't I get the usual options to sync the iPod touch and back it up?

Does the iPod work OK?

You need the password for your network/router. Sometime the dfault password is on a sticker on the router. As the person who controls/set up the router.

How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?

How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?
With Itunes 9 like earlier versions u have the option to group compilations for browsing, having the effect of not putting a huge list of artists in your view by artist list because they played one song on a compilation you have got. With my old Ipod classic this option was also available through the setting menu. Meaning my ipod exactly mirrored my itunes lists.
I have recently purchased a ipod touch 32 and can find no settings that allow me to do the same. My artist list has risen from 200 to 400 because of this and makes finding albums by artists very annoying.
I have looked on the itunes software and can find no mention of syncing this ability to the ipod either.

Yes i do this to group compilations in itunes.
But when i then sync to the ipod touch the albums come up under compilations as desired but the artists also appear in the artist list which is not.
On my old ipod classic it had a setting to group compilations the same as in itunes which would then remove these odd artists from the artist list.
I can find no equivalent setting on the ipod touch
Cheers

Try resetting your iTunes password using the secret question/answer method. See:

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one? If it could be fixed, how much would it cost?

If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

Why is the iPod Touch (4th Gen) missing the video setting for TV Out?

Has anyone else noticed that in the iPod Touch (4th Gen) that there isn't a video setting for TV Out? It's not on the new iPhone either. I wanted to attach an AV Composite cord from my iPod to my TV. It won't work because of the missing video setting. You would think that since this is new technology, it would have that setting. After all, my iPod from 2005 has that feature and works just fine with the $39 AV Compostie cable from Apple. I was hoping to display what I have on my iPod Touch to my TV, but discovered that I couldn't. When I called Apple, they thought at first I had a defective cable. But later told me that i OS 5 left out the video out feature as if by mistake. Could anyone elaborate on this issue? I would appreciate it. Thanks!!

I am well aware that setting was on the iPod before iOS 5! My question is why is it missing? Because right now, Apple is selling the AV Composite cable claiming it's compatible with the iPod Touch (4th Gen) and it's not. Thank you!

iTunes is already pre-installed on all new Macs. Do you mean that you updated it from Software Update?
Your iPod Touch problems should be posted in the iPod Touch forums. It's where the iPod users hang out.

HT3887 under the on blue tooth ...how can i reverse ..ignore this device setting.....during the set up ofa Jam speaker i pushed ignore this device......now the ipod touch will not discover the speaker thanks Greg

when I was setting up a JAM speaker , under the blue tooth slide bar , I pushed ignore this device. Now the speaker is not discoverable....How can I reverse this action to set the speaker

Hello skywalker eyedoc,
If you chose to "forget" a device in the bluetooth settings, you'll simply need to put that device back into pairing mode (or "discovery" mode) for the iPod touch to find it once more. You may need to refer to the bluetooth speaker's documentation or manufacturer for information on how to do so.

How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device

How do you set up iCloud on the iPod touch if it says too many apple accounts have been signed onto the device.

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately you will need to create your Apple ID (account) on another mobile device or a Mac computer. Once three iCloud accounts have been created on an iOS device, it doesn't matter what you do to that device, no further accounts can be created on it.

Will The iPod touch 5G Camera Scratch When Set On A Table ?

Since the iSight camera of the iPod touch sticks out, I was wondering if the camera lens would get scratched when set on a table since it lays on the camera instead of laying on the back of the iPod. I always use a case because of this reason, but I want to know that if I can set it on a table without it getting scratched. Thanks, in advance (;

The lens on the 5G is made of sapphire and is very scratch resistant.
