Should I hold off on buying a new iPod Touch right now?

My 4+ year old first generation iPod Touch completely died about a month and a half ago. I am planning on buying a new one but I need some advice. Should I buy one now or is it worth it to wait another month until the new iPod Touch 5th gen comes out?
I don't particularly care about buying the 5th gen, I just am curious if you guys think there will be a big price cut in the 4th gen next month when the newer model comes out. Is there usually a price drop on the older gen models right when a new one comes out? I'm all about saving money lol

Seems 4g is going to stay the latest model for years to come kidding, coz u know they just keep mum about it. All they care is about their iPhone & iPad.

Should I buy the new iPod touch? My concern when buying really only Siri. The only drawback is the high price. What would you do?

It is really up to you. Since y say yo have iOS 6 yo must have a 4G iPod which is not bad.

I would like to buy a new ipod touch; will I be able to transfer my smurf village from my old ipod to my new one?

I would like to buy a new ipod touch; how do I transfer my smurf village from my old ipod to my new one?

Yes. Just make one final sync (it includes a backup) of the old iPod, Then connect the new iPod to that syncing computer and restore the iPOd from that backup. Also see:

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?

No problem.

I just purchased a new ipod touch so now I have two. I do not want the second ipod touch to sync the same as the old ipod touch - 2 people with 2 different music preferences. How do I keep them separate.

These are two possible approaches that will normally work to move an existing library to a new computer.
Method 1
Backup the library with this User Tip.
Deauthorize the old computer if you no longer want to access protected content on it.
Restore the backup to your new computer using the same tool used to back it up.
Keep your backup up-to-date in future.
Method 2
Connect the two computers to the same network. Share your <User's Music> folder from the old computer and copy the entire iTunes library folder into the <User's Music> folder on the new one. Again, deauthorize the old computer if no longer required.
Both methods should give the new computer a working clone of the library that was on the old one. As far as iTunes is concerned this is still the "home" library for your devices so you shouldn't have any issues with iTunes wanting to erase and reload.
I'd recommend method 1 since it establishes an ongoing backup for your library.
Note if you have iOS devices and haven't moved your contacts and calendar items across then you should create one dummy entry of each in your new profile and iTunes should merge the existing data from the device.
If your media folder has been split out from the main iTunes folder you may need to do some preparatory work to make it easier to move. See make a split library portable.
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library or a backup then then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device for advice on how to set up your devices with a new library with the maximum preservation of data.

Is 3.0 included on all new ipod touch from now on? +itunes question

Anyone know if 3.0 is included on all new ipod touch from now on? If so, does Apple have a history of giving you credit for the software update if say, you just got the ipod a couple days ago? I just bought my first mac and got the 2g ipod touch with it on Friday. Argh. If I had known I would've waited but I was so excited from the WWDC news of the 13" macbook I was stalking for so long that I just bought it! I would like to save that $10 if I could. Anyone know if Apple does such things?
Also, I have a 1g iPod touch that was synced with my windows pc. I figured out how to transfer my paid apps and other apps to the new touch, but it says it can only be linked to one iTunes. Is there a way for me to set it up so I can sync the ipod from my new mac from now on? but keep the apps?
THANKS!

Suz, as long as iTunes on both computers are authorized, you should be able to start synching to both. But make sure you do a back-up on your old computer(the one you was synching to all along) before starting to sync your apps to the new one. If you're not sure whether your iTune has been authorized, you can click on 'Store' then go down to the last section where it should say 'View My Account (your e-mail)...'. If not then Authorize it again. Since you may not have all the music files from your previous computer, you should uncheck all sync categories check boxes until you've transfer them by other means to your new pc, otherwise it will erase them from your iPod. The first time you click the sync button(assuming you've already authorized both pcs), a message will pop up asking whether you will want to 'Erase data' or 'Transfer purchases', click on 'Transfer purchases' and iTune will automatically transfer all your iTune purchased songs and apps to your new iTune.

What if I buy a new iPod Touch?

Ok, So new ipod touch, I want to sell my current one on a popular online auction site,
This is really 2 questions....
a) What happens to the old ipod with software version 2, will the new person be able to use the software update or will they have to purchase it themselves, obviously I will restore the ipod to factory settings to clear my settings, music and apps?
b) What about the apps I have purchased from the App Store, will I simply go to sync my new ipod and it will all sync over...easy as pie?
and in Advance, Thank You to anyone who has an insight to an answer.
Cheers

Hi tomuky2k,
Welcome to Apple forum, hope you enjoy being here!
tomuky2k asked:
a) What happens to the old ipod with software version 2, will the new person be able to use the software update or will they have to purchase it themselves, obviously I will restore the ipod to factory settings to clear my settings, music and apps?
As you bought the firmware, when you handle the iPod to other person, he will be able to use the version 2.0. But if sometime, he needs to restore, then this will remove the firmware 2.0. Also, that person won't be able to instal it again, 'cause he's not using your iTunes account and doesn't have the path file stored on your computer. So basically, he should need to buy it for himself!
tomuky2k also asked:
b) What about the apps I have purchased from the App Store, will I simply go to sync my new ipod and it will all sync over...easy as pie?
Yes, no problem! It will sync normally to your new iPod Touch, as it has with your current one.
Hope this helps and good luck on selling your Apple product!

What to buy a new iPod touch, what about the bought apps?

I am thinking about changing my iPod touch first generation to a new one.
Can I transfer all my apps to the new item or do I have to buy them again?
Who has experience here?

i've just done this. you just need to make sure you backup your old ipod touch first, then when you plug in your new ipod touch, rather than setting it up as new, restore it to the backup. as previously pointed out, as long as everything is in your itunes library on your computer it will just replace it all and your new ipod will look just like the old one.

If i buy a new ipod touch now, can i exchange it for the new version?

I am gonna get a new ipod touch 8GB as part of the education deal when buying an imac before the 7th sept. I am wondering if i can exchange it for one of the new ones when they are announced and in stores a week or two later? If i bought a macbook pro in store or online i know i can exchange it within 30 days (by paying a price difference to the new model) or get a discount (if the prices for the old model went down within 30 days of me purchasing).
Would this apply to the ipod touch too, if i get it through the education store?

Sorry, but the iPod touch from the Back-To-School promotion could not be returned nor exchanged. The promotion is actually a rebate (unless you're referring to a promotion other than in the US); you choose your qualifying iPod model and purchase it, and will then get a rebate back of up to $199 (it varies depending on the model of iPod you choose).
The US promotion applies only to specific iPod models and expires on September 7th, so it would not apply to any iPod model released after that date. For the full terms, see:
http://www.apple.com/promo/pdf/BackToSchoolTermsConditions_US2010.pdf

My ipod touch has software 2.2.1 but all the apps now require newer software. It won't update because it says it's the up to date software. do i need to buy a new ipod touch?

I can't update my ipod touch software because when i check for updates using itunes it says the software is up to date. Does this mean i have to get a newer ipod touch or is there a way to manually update the software to the newer versions?

You probably have a 1G iPod. See here:
Identifying iPod models
The 1G can go as far as 3.1.3. You can purchase that update here. You may have to use another browser to get the sublink to work correctly.
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)

My old Ipod touch 3rd generation broke, so now i want to buy a new ipod touch generation 5, can I get my old songs from the broken ipod synced into my new ipod that I want to buy?

So my old ipod touch was a 3rd generation and I had music downloaded from Itunes into it. After having this ipod touch for 4 years it literally shut down on me and didnt come back to live. So now I want to get a new ipod touch 5th Generation . Can I download my old songs from my ipod touch 3rd Generation into my new ipod touch 5th generation? PLZ HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!! X(

yea all my songs are downloaded on my computer so Than You So MUCH!!!!

Is new iPod Touch 5 now shipping with iOS7?

   Was just wondering is the new iPod Touch now shipping with iOS7 or still (6.1.3) depending on the date of manufacture. Because on the Apple website it's still stating the system requirements for iTunes is still 10.7. When did it require iTunes 11 on the (iOS7 or the iOS7.2) update?
   If they're now shipping with (iOS7). Apple forgot to update that page because it still stating the minimum requirements for iTunes is still iTunes (10.7) Not that it really affects me because I have iPod Touch (4th gen) and running (iOS 6.1.3) but I though I would point that out anyways.

   I know but now if you've upgraded or it ships with iOS7 in order to sync with iTunes a message pops up and states in order to sync this iPod you now have to have iTunes 11. Now if you want to manage your IPod Touch (5th) your forced to download iTunes 11, that is unless the iPod is still at (6.1.3).

Should I hold off on buying a new iPod Touch right now?
