Switching iPod touches

I recently got a new iPod touch 2nd generation. My wife has the 1st generation iPod touch. The external speakers and sleek design would benefit her more than me, so I want to totally restore both iPods so that it will be like they are brand new. However, we have both purchased apps and do not want to lose them. Is there anyway this can be done? Can you backup apps and then put them on a different restored iPod touch?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Use Transfer Purchases to put the apps into the iTunes media folder, if that wasn't done automatically ( If you haven't done any back up lately now would be a good time.), and then Restore both iPods as new and start from scratch.

I want to create a new apple account and switch my iPod Touch over to it. How can i do this without erasing all of the data?

I have an iPod Touch (4th generation) and found i would like to switch it over to a new apple account. Is there anyway for this to happen without deleting any data?

Yes, just go to Settings>App and iTunes store and sign out of existing ID and sing into the other.
The Apple ID is also used in:
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>iCloud
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

I am traveling out side of the U.S. and I am trying to up-date some apps on my iPod touch and now I'm getting this message... "Account Not In This Store Your account is NOT valid for use in the Ecuadorian store. You must switch to the U.S. store... help!

Please, is there anyone one out who can help me solve this problem? I just can seem to figure out how to get to the U.S. store... thanks!

I just read this solution, tried it & now it's working...
I think I found a fix...I went to Settings, iTunes & App Stores, then click on your Apple ID...view Apple ID...change country region to USA (even though it was already USA...just do it again...go through the steps making sure the United States store is selected...agree to the Terms of Service, THEN I think what the key is is to RE-auhorize your credit card...in my case all I had to do was enter the security code...and it worked...I am now able to download the YouTube app for example...couldn't do it before.

How do I switch through the English and Spanish keyboards on my ipod touch while I am typing instead of stopping and going into settings?

I went into settings and added the Spanish keyboard on to my ipod touch. But here's the thing. If I have the keyboard in English, while I am typing I can't use any Spanish because it wants to correct all my words and turn them into English words, and this happens vice versa when typing in Spanish and it makes corrections in English. When I type I am constantly switching back and forth between Spanish and English. Is there any way to change the keyboard language while I am at the typing screen? For example on my Samsung Galaxy 4g, all I have to do when I want to switch languages is swipe my finger on the space bar key from left to right. That way I don't have to stop writing, go into the phone settings and find the language and switch it, slowing me down considerably because I would have to stop every few minutes. Is there no way to do something like this on my ipod touch??

Use the Globe key. Hold it down and you will get a list, or just hit it to switch.
The Globe key should appear if you have more than one keyboard chosen in settings.

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds. I have used itunes to restore and also recover. Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer. The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not. Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged. Any thoughts?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

Why is my iPod Touch 4G switching the charging symbol?

My iPod touch 4g is about a year and 4 months old on the fourteenth of June. My original apple charger was breaking and it couldn't change the iPod normally because it kept flashing back and forth on the charging symbol. One minute it would saying charging and the next it wouldn't be charging but it's plugged in. So I got rid of that charger a few days ago. Now I have a charger that's new never has been used. It fits my iPod and everything but it is starting to do the same thing as before. Last night I noticed it kept switching every second to the charging icon to the regular battery icon while it was plugged in. I'm starting to think it is my iPod but this has never happened before until I started charging on my mothers laptop. I'm not allowed to charge on my betters Xbox 360 because it supposedly lags the games. Whatever. I just need to know why does it keep switching and not charging and how can I fix it so it can charge while its plugged in. Thank you!

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

HELP. Ipod Touch 3rd gen won't switch on after updating to OS 4

So here's the thing. I tried to download and install the new OS 4 (i think i had iOS 3.1 before) to my Ipod Touch 3rd gen. Since it was taking a bit too long, i left it hooked up to the laptop for an hour to do some errands. When I got back, the laptop was on standby mode. I checked Itunes and it had this prompt saying update failed or an error occurred (#1602 I think but I don't know what it meant that time). I then checked my Ipod Touch and it was switched off. So we figured maybe the battery got drained while we were gone and tried to plug it via AC charge for 10 minutes. Nothing happened. I tried to hook it up to the laptop, no luck there either. The charger worked fine for an Ipod video we also have. I'm scouring the webs for what to do, Im getting worried. hope someone can help me in this. Thank you.
(and additional question. I'm here in the Philippines right now but this Ipod Touch was my sister's, I think she bought this last year in the US. She just sent it to me this month. So if I take this to the local Apple store, can they do something about my problem? Assuming I cant fix anything by tomorrow. Thanks again folks.)

First I would charge it for an hour and then:
- Have you tried resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Next would be to place the ipod n recovery mode and then try to restore it via iTunes. For recovery mode see:

I switched off my ipod touch 4g during an ios6 update

it was during the ios6 update that i realised for some reason i did not want to update it because of what my friends told me, it had nothing beneficial for the ipod touch 4g, so i decided to switch off my ipod touch 4g and now it would not turn on the only thing that i could do with it was restart it which i have done over 40 times and it either shows the apple logo and then goes dull or turns blue to yellow, yellow to white, grey to white etcetera.
Can someone please help me i don't know what to do with it i've looked everywhere for a solution.
and my dog bit through the top of my usb lead. **** you bellatrix
thanks, Brittanny Pegg
