Synching apps to 2 ipods

Hi there,
is it possible to sync apps to 2 ipods on the same PC? My wife's PC is broken and she is using mine at the moment, when she connects, she does not sync music etc but would like to have some of the apps that I have bought without buying them herself, is this possible?
thanks,
Matt

You can sync as many ipods as you like to one computer.
However, ipod touch will sync to one computer at a time. When you sync with a different computer, it will first erase the content from the ipod, then replace it with content from the new computer.

When synching my 4th gen ipod touch I get error msg saying ipod could not be backed up because session could not be started with the ipod. It only does synch steps 2-5. Do I have to restore it?

When synching by 4th gen ipod touch it skips the first step - backup-, does steps 2 through 5, then I get a message the ipod could not be backed up because a session could not be started with the ipod. How do I fix this? Do I have to restore my ipod? Will all my apps be erased?

You have to have an internet connection, either wireless or through a computer with iTunes. When you choose Software Update you can only update to the latest version for your iPod Touch, iOS 6.1.6

Trouble synching apps

i have recently bought a 32gb itouch off of my friend, i have synched music from my itunes library fine. However his apple ID keeps popping up on my itouch even though i have already signed in on the app store, also i am unable to sync the apps in my library to the itouch
if anyone has any suggestions on how i can get rid of his apple ID or how i can sync these apps it would be appreciated, thanks

It appears that there are apps on the iPod that were purchased with the account that pops up. Delete those apps. Those are licensed to the person who purchased them and not to you. They do not transfer with the purchase of he iPod.
Are your apps on the computer compatible with the model iPod and iOS on the iPod? Are restrictions invoked (Settings>General>Restrictions) on the iPod that is preventing their syncing? Are the correct boxes checked to sync the apps to the iPod?

Need to sync Apps from old Ipod to new Iphone on different computers

I have apps on my old Ipod touch that I want to put on my new Iphone. My Ipod is synched to my PC, but I want to sync my new Iphone to my Macbook Pro. I also want to put the old apps on my Ipod and put them on my Iphone. What should I do?

Sign into the Apple ID used to purchase them on you iPhone (in Settings>Store), then download the apps as past purchases directly to the phone (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519). Prior to syncing with your MacBook Pro, disable automatic syncing in iTunes (iTunes Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically"). Then connect your phone and when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar, right-click on it and select Transfer Purchases (to transfer the apps to your iTunes library). You will also need to authorize your computer for this Apple ID in iTunes (under Store>Authorize this computer) in order to sync these apps to your phone.

My iPod Touch is running on ios 7. In the last two and a half months all the apps of my iPod have been wiped out twice. I had to download all the apps all over again. Why is this happening?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- 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.

Unable to sync some apps with my ipod

I am unable to sync some apps with my ipod touch

See:
Identifying iPod models
The iPod touch (3rd generation) can be distinguished from iPod touch (2nd generation) by looking at the back of the device. In the text below the engraving, look for the model number. iPod touch (2nd generation) is model A1288, and iPod touch (3rd generation) is model A1318.

The touch screen is not working when I am in the Music app of my iPod Touch. How do I get it to begin working? It just stopped today.

Does anyone know what I can do? I am unable to switch screens, and I can not see the track that is playing. The only was I can switch between songs is to use the controls on my headphones.

Try the stamdard fixes to rule out a software problem:
- Reset. Nothing will be lost

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup

How do I sync an app from my iPod Touch to iPad 1 without losing its data?

I am using a baseball simulator app called 9 Innings on my iPod Touch. Is it possible to sync this app from my iPod to my iPad 1 without losing all of the data? (season stats, milestones, etc.) When I tried to sync it to my iPad, I had to start all over from scratch. Any help? Thanks.

App data and app settings are contained in the iDevice backup and not stored in iTunes on your computer. Syncing the app will not sync the game save progress to your iPad. The progress should be saved if you restore the iPad from th iPod backup. The only problem with this is - if you restore the iPad from the iPod backup - all of the data that was on the iPod will now be on the iPad.
So if you absolutely have to have the game synced to the iPad with all of the saved data in place, the only way to do that is to restore the iPad from the iPod backup and then sync the game to the iPad - or download it again via the purchased tab in the App Store.

please help as this is very annoying and i cant download ANYTHING.

- What model iPod and iOS? Presently there an Apple problem that prevent 1G iPod and 2G iPod with iOS 3.1.3 from downloading apps on the iPod.
- If that is not the problem try the following:
- Rest. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. The second is that my battery died, and despite being able to charge it, it is unable to restart back up.

My first problem is that I have no apps on my iPod desktop. After using my computer to install something onto my iPod 5, it somehow disconnected. When i restarted the iPod, some apps (Safari, FaceTime, Game Center, App Store, iTunes Store, Camera, and some others disappeared. Apps like Flashlight and Jetpack Joyride which I had previousyl downloaded from the App Store were still there. I wanted to get the aforementioned apps back, so i decided to back-up my iPod to iTunes. The downloaded apps weren't able to be backed up ("authentication problems") but some apps like Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, Stocks, Settings, Voice Memos, were backed up. I then proceeded to factory reset the iPod, deleting everything and starting it as a new iPod. Once I finished this, I looked my desktop to see everything was gone, absolutely everything. I double-pressed the home button, showing Settings was open, but that's it. I opened settings and factory reset it again, this time choosing to restore from a backup. After doing this, I found the iPod looked the same as the last time i reset it - blank. If I scroll down the middle of the screen to bring up a search bar, I can find only the apps I backed up (Tips, Video, iBooks, Reminders, etc.) That is the first MAJOR problem. I was getting really frustrated, so I opened up iBooks and discovered I can download a could free books from the store, which was essentially the only thing I can use the iPod for. There were no videos in the Video app, and pressing the "Go to Store" button did absolutely nothing. No lag, it just ignored my touch. Once i found a few books, I decided to start reading. Eventually, i brought this iPod somewhere to read it, and didn't bring the charger with me. The battery died, and when i got home, tried charging it.
Which brings me to the second problem. A minute or so after I plugged in the charger into the dead iPod, the Apple logo came on. But the iPod never started up. The logo stayed there, getting dimmer after a minute, but no vanishing even after fully charging or pulling out the charging cord. It didn't leave even after hours, but by then the battery died again. If i press and hold the power button and the home button at the same time, the Apple logo disappears. But I can't get into recovery mode utilizing the volume buttons. If i hold the power button when the screen is blank, the Apple logo comes back. But the iPod cannot start up.
After everything was wiped, i was pretty angry. But I still had books to read, even if i couldn't do much else. Then the battery died, and it really wrecked me up. I feel so mad right now, although this actually happened about 4 days ago. The iPod being wiped happened about 3 days after the Christmas holidays began. This iPod also was not brand new, I bought it off a friend who had it for over a year, although it was in perfect condition (Obviously out of warranty.) I desperately need a solution to this HUGE problem. Due to personal reasons, I can't go to a Genius Bar or go to an Apple retailer in person, but communicating by E-mail is an option, as is instant messaging.

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 another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The missing apps could have been done by setting the Restrictions that can hid those apps. If the backup was made with those retrictions set the the Restrictions are also restored.
Thus, if you get it to work restore to factory settings/new iPod, not from backup
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:

My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

My sister and I each have an ipod touch. We use the same computer and itunes but each have our own apple id. Everytime I want to update an app on my ipod it asks for my sisters apple id login!? help!

When it asks for another ID on an App Update, it means that the application was purchased under your sister's ID but downloaded to your device from the iTunes library that you share. Even though you both have your own Apple IDs, since you are syncing on the same computer, you are using the same iTunes library.
Whoever purchased the app is forever tied to it, and you can only have one version of a particular app in a single library....
Does that make sense?

How do I transfer my music and apps from my ipod touch 4g to a new computer?

The hard drive on my old computer failed so I no longer have access to my itunes library that was saved onto that computer. Is there anyway I can transfer my music and apps to my new computer? I would prefer not using one of those shady online tools... I don't want to lose any of my music or apps since I have some paid ones on there. I'm afraid that if I connect it to the new computer then everything will be lost. If that happens the I'll never be able to get any of my music and apps back (or at least it'll be real difficult). Can anyone please please please help me?
