Transfer iPod Touch to new user

How do I transfer my iPod Touch to someone else and then register my new one with Apple and my iTunes account?
Thanks

Hello prolich,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Simply restore the iPod via iTunes and then give it away. This process will wipe all the content from the iPod and set it back to its original default settings.

For the new one, plug it in, register it, and be on your way!

Transfer ipod touch to new account

My son just received a new computer for Chirstmas and he was using my iTunes account for music and apps. He just created his own account and my question is can I move his music and apps from his iPod Touch to his new account. If so, how can I do it. Thanks.

If you are talking about moving iTunes purchases to another Apple ID, then that's not possible. Sorry.
Your son will need access to your Apple ID and password to update and sync his previous purchases.

Selling my Ipod touch to new user-can apps be left on without my apple id

I am selling my Ipod touch since I recently got an iphone. Can my apps and music be left on it? I am not going to give them my apple id (obviously) but was wondering if they could still access my apps and music?? Or would the best thing to do is restore it back to factory settings?

Hello tec367,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Or would the best thing to do is restore it back to factory settings?
Yes. They wouldn't be able to listen to any purchased music you had on there unless you authorized your account on their iTunes library and that's just unnecessary. Restoring your iPod is just the right thing to do.

Can i transfer ipod touch content to a new computer via the ipod touch

can i transfer ipod touch content to a new computer via the ipod?

Yes.
But first, with iTunes open in the menu bar click Store > Authorize This Computer.
Then from the iTunes menu bar click File > Transfer Purchases From...

You don't need third party software to do this for iTunes purchases.

Can't sync playlists from ipod touch to new computer

Can't Sync Playlists from iPod Touch to New Library
I just upgraded from an old Pentium computer to a new Dell XPS 18 running Windows 8.1. Downloaded latest version of iTunes to the new computer, then successfully transferred library content from the old computer to the new one via the external hard drive method. All material -- iTunes purchases, music ripped from CDs, a movie, even MP3 files purchased long ago from another source -- transferred successfully; everything plays on the new computer just fine.
My problem is that the "old" playlists didn't transfer over. After connecting my iPod Touch to the new computer, I verified that the iPod has the latest version of iOS, and its content (including the old/original playlists) displays in the window on the left-hand side of the iTunes screen. The really frustrating thing is that I can find no way to transfer the old playlists to my new iTunes library. I've tried dragging and dropping, selecting and pasting, and exploration of all the options menus, but no luck. Creating a new playlist in the new library and then clicking on the "Add To" button opens up a window into which to drop dragged songs/folders from the new library listing, but simultaneously closes the left-hand display window with all of my iPod's current playlists depicted.
I appear successfully to have backed up my iPod to the new computer, but all the sync menu options are grayed out. When I tried clicking on the Sync button, I got a warning that syncing to the new library would erase everything from the old library -- presumably obliterating my playlists with it. I have about a dozen different playlists, some of them with several hundred songs, drawn from a library of a few thousand individual items. Is there some means of importing/transferring the old playlists to the new computer/library, so that I don't manually have to drag and drop hundreds and hundreds of songs into a new set of playlists? Am I overlooking something really obvious or simple? Can I safely turn on Home Sharing and then import or paste the old playlists into the new computer's library. I don't think I'm too much of a Luddite, but given the size of my library I'm very leery of turning on Home Sharing (to the old Pentium computer) after I've successfully transferred over many GBs of content from the old machine to the new.
Thanks very much --

How to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library computer crash without wiping out "library" on ipod touch

how to sync ipod touch to new computer itunes library after old itunes library lost in computer crash, without erasing ipod touch

Sync is only oneway, from PC to your device. Unless you have the music on your PC, iTunes is going to wipe out what you have on your device if you are syncing to a new library.
You can only transfer Purchased music over to Itunes on your PC.

As for you own music, you may have to use a third party software. A good Free one is called Sharepod which you can download from Download.com here:

You sell an older iphone; will apps transfer over to a new user?

You sell your iphone 4; to someone; who presumably registers it as their own; will the 300 apps you have on it transfer over to the new user?

Yes, if you set up the new phone to the same Apple ID and iTunes account you used to purchase the apps. Your content is tied to your account and Apple ID, not the device.
The easiest thing to do is to back up the old phone before you sell it. When you first connect the new phone to iTunes, choose to restore from backup. You new phone will be nearly the same as your old phone (it may not put everything on there perfectly - I've had some folders messed up and had to re-organize some apps, but nothing really major).

I can't update ipod touch to new 4.2

Which model of iPod Touch do you have? The 1st generation can not be upgraded beyond iOS 3.1.3.

First sync to iPod Touch w/ new iTunes v11.0.0 on Windows 7 PRO has no album artwork on iPod. Why?

First sync to iPod Touch w/ new iTunes v11.0.0 on Windows 7 PRO has no album artwork on iPod. Why?

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.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

Simple question. How do you reset an ipod to a new user??

A friend gave me his old 4th generation ipod and I have
downloaded the current version of iTunes, and now I would like to erase all his music, data and name etc and put in my info, songs and data. My question is.....How do you erase all current data and reset the ipod for a new user, without downloading iTunes once again, since I have imported most of my songs and ebooks into iTunes already?
cheers

"I would like to erase all his music, data and name etc"
Then you need to restore the iPod.
See: Restoring the iPod to factory settings.
If you want to put your name on the iPod, see :http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60952">How to rename your iPod.
Then simply connect the iPod to iTunes and let iTunes automatically update the iPod with all your music.

HT1296 Old ipod touch and new computer

I have songs purchased via Itunes and songs downdloaded from CDs. My old computer crashed so I am loading on a new computer. When I plug in ipod touch to new computer to sync it, will all the songs from the old ipod touch get transferred to the new computer?

Only the iTunes purchases will/can be transfered via iTunes. To grt all see:

How do I transfer iPod touch and iPad to a new computer?

I have both an iPod touch 3G 64GB (iPhone OS 3.1.1) and an iPad 32GB WiFi (iOS 3.2).
I need to transfer them to a new computer (Windows 7 unfortunately, because I can't afford to replace all my software and the computer yet)
I can I do that and not loose all my purchased apps, music, and videos (etc..)?

I'm going to sell or get rid of the old computer.
But I did find what I believe is the answer here:

Transfer playlists and content from iPod Touch to new computer

I was trying to search for old answers on this topic, but instead the system is forcing me to create a new post.
My old laptop crashed, and the backup I had of my iTunes was outdated. I have more current music and playlists on my iPod Touch than are available to back up from my external hard drive, including a playlist I created for my dad's funeral. I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE IT. I spent hours and hours creating it, and ripping music for it, and facing losing it if I sync my iPod really hurts. I am afraid to connect my iPod Touch to my new laptop for fear of losing that playlist and the music I ripped from his CD collection to create it.
Can someone please help me to back up my content, including my playlists and rippled music (and ideally apps and other content) from my iPod Touch to the new laptop? (I also have voice mails in an app on my iPod from a friend who died shortly after my dad, and I don't want to risk losing those, either, as they are the only way I have of hearing his voice.)
Again, because my old laptop crashed between backups, I do not have the option of backing up the iTunes data from the old computer and transferring it that way. I have to get it off the Touch somehow and get it back into iTunes on the new laptop.
(I hate Apple for making what should be super easy so hard! Why is data transfer one-way only, from computer to device? And how can I be certain my iPod Touch won't be erased and set to the content on the computer if I connect it??)
Thank you to anyone who can help me!

Transfer ipod touch content to new PC

Hi all,
I needed a new HDD for my laptop, and now I don't know how I'm going to transfer all the content on my iPod touch to the new iTunes library on the new HDD. If you could help me, it would mean the world to me, thanks!

Your apps are in the itunes folder, so if you grabbed the whole lot for back up, they should be on the disc (or external drive) to be restored. So restoring your itunes from the backup should restore apps too (though not info stored in those apps eg calanders etc unless you made and saved externally a back up mirror of your ipod touch).
If any are missing, I am pretty sure I have read about these forums that you can download an app that you have bought, and if you already own it, you won't be charged .. though I would test that on one app just to be sure
