i'd hold on until someone confirms this, but i think you just restore both with the backup from the other one.
plug in your iPod to his computer, click restore, when the option to restore to backup comes up, click that.
then plug the iPhone to your laptop, and do the same.

    how do i transfer the music and apps from ipod touch to iphone

    If you sign in to your Apple ID then your apps will be visible by clicking the "purchased" tab at the bottom of the screen.
    Music you've purchased from Apple will appear automatically if you sign in to your account. Other music you'll need to download from your PC assuming you're not subscribed to iTunes Match.

  • How do I copy music (personal & purchased) from iPod Touch to iPhone 5c?

    I have 464  songs on my iPod Touch 4th gen; however, only the 194 songs I purchased from the iTunes store show up in the iTunes Library on my Mac.  Accordingly only the purchased (194) songs are being backed up to the Cloud.  I recently purchased an iPhone 5c and was able to load what was in the Cloud.  I would, however, like to be able to access ALL of my music (i.e., all 464 songs on my iPod Touch) on my iPhone.  How do I get the 270 songs (not in the Cloud) onto my iPhone 5c? 
    If this can't be done within iTunes, is there freeware available for this purpose?  I downloaded an application called "iExplorer" (from Macroplant) only to discover that this "free download" is not, in fact, free to use, but costs $34.95.  I only want to transfer files from my iPod Touch one time; hence, $34.95 is a costly one-time fix, especially if free/less expensive options are available.  Thanks, in advance, for any help others may be able to provide.

    To copy non-iTunes purchases you need a third-party program. Try the free iFunBox

  • Can't get Contacts/Calendar to transfer from iPod Touch to iPhone 3Gs

    Just got the new iPhone 3Gs, and I have an iPod Touch (1st gen). I chose to sync manually because I didn't want my son's apps on my iPhone, but when I tried to sync my contacts and calendar from the iTouch to the iPhone, I get no contacts. How can I transfer my contacts and calendar from my iTouch to my iPhone? Thanks!

    You need to sync them from iTunes on your computer to your phone
    In iTunes on your computer click on tones in left column and make sure your ringtones are there.  Plug in your phone to computer with USB cable.  Click on phone name I left column. Click on the tone tab on the right of iTunes screen and then select sync all tones and then click on apply or sync at the bottom right of iTunes screen

  • Going From Ipod Touch to iPhone 4

    After having used an iPod Touch for the last three years, I am purchasing an iPhone 4. I understand that when I first hook up my iPhone 4 to iTunes I will be offered the option of syncing (migrating) all my iPod Touch data and setting to the iPhone or recognizing the iPhone as a distinct device. Though essentially transferring all my data and apps to the iPhone is attractive, what happens the next time I attempt to sync the iPod Touch with iTunes? Will I go through the same dance and will it be repeated every time I plug in one then the other until such time as I relent and recognize two devices? Perhaps it would actually be simpler to do the migration and set up the Touch from scratch rather than vice versa. What do you think of that approach? Your response may be altered after you read the next paragraph.
    The other issue is the apps. If I elect to go the two device route, which is what I am inclined to do, is there a way I can easily move the apps from the iPod Touch to the iPhone or will that require reinstalling them on the iPhone. I don't have a lot of apps, so that isn't a big concern. What is a concern is whether having purchased some apps for the iPod Touch, will I have to re-purchase them for the iPhone even though I am using the same account?
    I would appreciate any comments on these matters.
    Bill

    So if I understand you, even if I choose to set up as new, I can still load any or all of the apps or other content that is currently on the Touch on subsequent syncs.
    Yes, but the content is in your itunes library. That's where you make the choice as to what content to put on each device.
    Why would someone choose new over restore? Would it just be a matter that there's a lot of stuff on the Touch I don't necessarily want to put on the new iPhone now and I'd just as soon choose what I want rather than just take it all?
    Most people who restore from backup do so because they are replacing their current device with a new device & want to maintain all of their current data on the new device. If you're gonna keep both, you may want to setup as new, but again, the choice is yours.

  • Transfer applications and settings from iPod touch to iPhone

    Hi all,
    Currently, I have an iPod Touch. I have bought applications and I have configured some applications on it.
    I am quite interested to buy the last version of the iPhone. But before buying it, I would like to know if it is possible to transfer the applications and the settings from the iPod Touch to the iPhone.
    If it is possible, do you know how to do it? Restoring the back up of the iPod? I don't options about that in iTunes.
    Thank you for your help.
    Damien

    First, be sure all your applications are included in your iTunes library. (iTunes > File > Transfer purchases from XXX's iPod Touch).
    The application data is not included in the app, but in your ipod Touch backup file.
    You can upgrade one device with the backup from a different type of device; most settings will transfer to the new device. See this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • How do I transfer data from ipod touch to iphone?

    I have an ipod touch and would like to transfer my data to a new iPhone.  I also need to know how to create a new library on itunes on the PC so I don't mix my info up with my sister's library. Thanks!

    Move your existing iTunes Library that you use to sync your iPod to a new Library. This can be on your sister's computer or another one. Then, sync your iPod with that library.

  • Question about transferring apps from iPod touch to iPhone 5

    I currently own a 3rd generation iPod Touch. If I buy an iPhone 5, can I download all the apps purchased for my iPod Touch to the iPhone using the same iTunes account?

    Yep.  There is no limit to the number of iPods, iPads, and iPhones you can sync to one iTunes library, computer, or iTunes account.

  • Ipod touch restore problem *URGENT PLEASE HELP*

    Ok well I just inherited an Ipod touch from my friend who upgraded to a iPhone and it has a lock code, which I don't know. I called up my friend and asked him the code, he didn't know it of course... so i just guessed passwords and it said it was locked, I only have one more try until it locks permanently. So, I tried resetting it and it didn,t work. so i put it in recovery mode and it was gonna be ok, but my problem is I have slow dial-up internet and cannot re-download the software because my internet turns off randomly and it takes about 35 hours straight to download the 280MB, my other problem is that every time the download is disrupted, what itunes has already downloaded deletes itself and I have to start over from zero. I cannot fully download the software and have no access to hi-speed internet, I need a solution please otherwise im sitting here with a $300 piece of junk.

    Just bring it over to your friends house and have him reset it for you. Then bring it to your house to put your music on it.
    It is as simple as that. Too bad you have dial-up still. I use broadband and it is very fast.

  • New software update for iPod touch 4th generation? PLEASE HELP!!

    Ok so here is the problem: I have the iPod touch 4th generation with software version 4.3 (I have had my iPod for about 7 months) and recently within the past week or so I have started experiencing multiple crashes with many different various apps and games. Just random games crashing and then I noticed it happening with the Facebook app and even Safari on my iPod! I had to get off of my iPod and come on the computer to type this message out because Safari would crash every single time I tried to type this on my iPod! So at first I figured it was the apps and games' problems, but then as more and more began to crash, like Facebook and Safari, I figured it is the Apple software version 4.3 acting up. So I was wondering, is Apple working on a new software update for iPod touch 4th gen.? Or is this a rare problem? Is there anyone out there having this same problem? Or anyone at all that can PLEASE help me?! MANY THANKS!
    - Sam Amos

    No one would know what Apple is working on, unless they announce, which they very rarely do.
    Have you tried the basics from the manual?
    restart.
    reset.
    restore.

  • On my THIRD iPod Touch aka " Mr. Freeze" Please Help!!!

    I got my first 16GB iPod touch back in November and it was GREAT! I never had any function problems at all. It always tuned on , turned off , charged , synced , slept , and played just as it was supposed to. Then after about 2 months the left channel audio started cutting out . So I made a service request and sent it off to AppleCare where they quickly identified the problem and replaced my iPod with a different one.
    Now the first night I had this replacement iPod it froze up on me and would not do anything until I held the home and Power button for 5 seconds until it restarts. This became a daily ritual. EVERYDAY I would go to use this iPod and it would be frozen , you could look at the screen under direct light and see that the screen was not completely off , you could not see pictures or backgrounds just different shades of black blocks and bars accross the screen vertically. And while it is in the frozen state is drains the battery VERY quickly. I can finish using the iPod at the end the end of the day with at least 75% battery left , turn it off and go home and check it 2 hours later and it will be frozen and when I get it to restart the battery is in the RED. When it is in this frozen state connecting it to the computer does nothing , the computer will not see it at all as long as it is frozen. It tried the 5 R's to every extent with no positive results.
    So I got frusterated and made another service request and sent it off to AppleCare to be "Serviced". They said their technicians could find nothing wrong with it , that it met all of Apples quality control guidelines and function as expected by Apple , so they sent is back to me. It arrived to me FROZEN again!
    So I tried to use it as was for about another month and decided you know what my first touch NEVER did anything like this in the 2 months I had it so I know it doesn't have to be this way. So I made another service request for this same (my 2nd) touch. Only this time I sent copies of a letter explaining every detail of the problems , and insisting that they either repair/replace or refund my money. Funny enough this time they iddentified and issue with it and replaced it with what is now my 3rd iPod touch.
    Now this 3rd Touch does not do what the second one does. I does something NEW. it keeps going into RECOVERY mode , whatever the **** that is , so I will go to use it and it will not function nor turn on and when I connect it to my computer it says iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode and it must be restored before it can be used! So this morning I got up for work ejected the touch from my PC , it had been charging , slid the slider to unlock it and verified it was charged and ready to go abnd then turned the screen off and drove to work. Fifteen minutes later I go to turn the music on and it is stuck in recovery mode.Now I have really had it!!! If it's not annoying enough that this has to keep happening all my music is on my PC at home. So I plug it in to my PC at work and its says it has detected an iPod in recovery mode and must be restored, so I can restore it but then there is no Music on it until I can get back home to resync it with my home PC. So for the entire rest of the day I have and iPod that is no longer frozen , but also has NO content on it!This happens once maybe twice a week , not near as frequent as the last replacement Touch they sent me and it seems to be a different issue also , but still a problem just the same.
    I don't understand why this keeps happening?!?! All the content is the same accross all 3 Touch's I have had. My usage remains the same for all 3. Nothing has changed accept the Firmware version between the three. The first touch was 1.1.2 the second was 1.1.3 and the third is 1.1.4.
    And of course I never had any problems until I purchased the January Software Upgrade POS. Is it possible that the JSU is causing all of this? Is there a way to remove the JSU off of this Touch or would I have to revert back to 1.1.2 Firmare? And if so can it be done? If I have to do that and it is indeed the problem can I obtain a refund for the JSU because it CRIPPLES the iPod??
    PLEASE help , any advice is greatly appeciated! Thanks

    Well, I am VERY particular about keeping my electronics MINT. I have never not used a protective case and I have to say it is almost heart breaking to imagine the scratchs my Touch will have on that shiny back after just one day without a case...........but I am desperate. I must say I really do love my Touch. It is my 15th Media player and beyond all comparison the best Media Player I have ever owned and I am willing to do whatever is necessary to remedy this situation and be able to use my Touch as intended once again.
    What gripes me the most is that I paid premium price for this iPod Touch and it has virtually no Tech support. It baffles me. I had ONE tech support phone call available within 90 days and I used it on the first Touch so now I can't phone tech support , you cannot e-mail tech support , my only option is to place a service request and send it to AppleCare and you can't give a decent description of the problem even then because you are limited to 200 characters and I am damned tired of sending it back and forth. Is it really so hard to offer decent Tech support for these $400 and $500 Media Players? Dozens of other manufactures manage to do it so why can't Apple? They've got an AMAZING product , why not give it AMAZING support? Thats all I'm saying.
