Trying to set up a new ipod touch

Keep getting the msg server error, what should we do differently?

You can't have multiple IDs on one account, but you can use multiple IDs for different purposes on the same device.
Just use the one AppleID for iTunes and the AppStore so you can all share your music and app purchases. Then each person should have their own individual AppleID with associated iCloud account for mail, contacts, calendars, iMessage and FaceTime.
You don't have to use the same AppleID for all services.

Just tried to set up my new Ipod touch but nothing restored

Just Tried to set up my new Ipod touch and it does recognize it bu tI did not get any of my music or books or notes, nothing, what's up?

How did you restore?
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Notes are associated with the iCloud ID used. Are y using theme ID as the old device?
Do they still show on the old device?

I am trying to set up my new ipod touch and the system does not recognize my apple id. How do I reset and start again. I'm not sure what to do now.

I can be reached at this email during the day [email protected]

Try to change your Apple ID back to your old email address (http://appleid.apple.com) in order to set up and activate the phone. After the set up please sign out of iCloud and turn off "Find My iPhone" (Settings > iCloud) - do that on all your devices -, then change your Apple ID to your new address again and then add your iCloud account on you devices again.

Help setting up my new IPod Touch on iTunes on windows 7 64bit

Hello there,
I need help setting up my new IPod Touch to my Itunes 10 application on a PC running windows 7 64bit. I have watched the tutorial on how to do it but what the tutorial says it is supposed to do is not what is happenning for me:
1. In the tutorial it tells you to connect your ipod to your computer, then, (if it is for the first time) when the ipod appears and is selected, a window will come up allowing you to name your ipod, and begin selecting the options you wish to use.
I did as instructed but quickly came against some technical issues.
My issues:
1-1: When I selected the new iPod Touch for the dirst time I got an error message.
A) This was quickly fixed once I calld up apple support on the phone (turns out an IE browser setting was blocking it.)
1-2: With that fixed I selected my iPod Touch again but instead of the window indicated by the tutorial, I instead got an iPod registration form window.
1-3: I filled out the form and pressed the submit button (thinking everything was fine), then a new window came up that looks like this:
Free Find My iPhone
Free Find My iPad

The first three lines and the first paragraph are indented as if there should be some type of graphic there, but it is missing. The underlined words indicate that they are supposed to be links, but they don't go anywhere, they are broken!
Now wheenever I connect my iPod Touch and select it the above window comes up and nomatter what I try it will not move or change.
Please help!

Cracked ipod touch screen and it won't let me in or turn off. Tried to back it up and put on new ipod touch 5 and now it's not working and doing the same thing. I tried to restore to orginal but it won't let me any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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 and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How to set up a new iPod Touch and transfer data from old IPod Touch

ok, it's Friday night, I finished the cheese and about 1/2 a bottle of wine (myself... not ideal for a smurf my size) and I still can't find the answer to my question after searching [to the best of my most current ability] all over the forums (I even searched long before I started drinking wine). I appologize right now for my ignorance and inability to find the answer on my own.... but could someone PLEASE, just tell me the best way to kill my daughter's Ipod Touch 2nd Gen (advertised as Gen 3, ha, ha, on me), and set up her new-(to-us) Ipod Touch Gen 4? I've already backed up her old device to my computer? (it's a PC - sorry, it's free from my husband's office)
Do I set up her new-ish Gen 4 as a "new device" or "restore from back up?" She's young enough (grade school - & why she gets old/cheaper HW) that we both still uses my iTunes acct for her device and mine so that I own & can monitor/manage the music that we both listen to... but this time I'll set up her own iCloud acct. Although the new device (let's call it device B) has been wiped clean from the last user, how do I set it up? New device or restore from bk up? Now that she saved up the $ I paid for it, to pay me, she's driving me crazy about getting it going for her. Her orig/current device, iPod Gen 2ish (we can refer to that as device A) has been backed up to my computer and I'd like to port all of her data (calendar, contacts, pictures/movies, etc) to her new device. Please help this old mom... my girl is driving me crazy... and I feel bad not delivering her goods. Many thanks.

TS1363 I'm trying to set up my new ipod nano, it appears in windows and not in itunes- if I reinstall itunes, will the files of other ipod users on the computer be lost?

I'm trying to up my new Ipod Nano, it appears in Windows and not in Itunes, if I reinstall Itunes, will files previously set up by other Ipod users sharing the computer be lost?

You said " I sign in but her music list shows up mixed with about 1/3 of mine."
Sign in where?
What music list?
It also sounds like that computer is not authorized for the account. You can only have 5 computers authorized for one account. If yo go to iTunes>Store>View account and then sign in it will tell you how many (but no what computers) are authorized. There is no way to find out what computers are authorized.
You can deauthorize all computer once a year.

iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization

I tried to set up my new ipod shuffle and a error message popped up saying Ipod not found cannot update. I can't sync my ipod now but it is showing on itunes. What should I do?

I bought a new 4th gen ipod shuffle and tried to sdet it up last night. I installed the latest itunes software and started to sync my ipod, but error boxes kept popping up saying ipod not found cannot sync. It was showing in itunes, then it would disappear, then it would come back. I am not very good with computers so I don't know what to do. Can someone help?

Do you have an iCloud backup? If you backed up your old phone to iCloud you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Erast All Content & Settings (which will erase your phone), then go back through the setup screens again and when prompted choose Restore From iCloud Backup. However your backup won't contain everything in your iTunes library (such as your music) so you'll need to be able to sync with your computer unless you purchased everything from iTunes and want to redownload it to your phone.

How to set up my new iPod Touch 4g

I had one previously but the screen is so cracked up that you can't see the left half of what's going on and I don;t have internet on it. Anyways, I want to delete that iPod and add this new one in.

There's nothing to delete.
Connect the new device and either set it up as new or restore from the backup of the old one.

Trying to set-up email on iPod Touch

Has anyone been successful connecting to bellsouth.net? While trying to verify POP account information, I get the message 'Cannot connect using SSL'. Even when I try w/o SSL, still no joy. Thanks

Well, do you have Outlook?
You can either install that and import the accounts or replicate them on the Touch.
If you set them up in Thunderbird, you should be able to do them with one of the above methods.

I am trying to restore my new ipod touch and it is coming up as error, what am i doing wrong?

I am trying to restore my sons new ipod touch i am trying to restore it but it keeps coming up as error 1611, i have removed all security software and tried again but it has made no difference, any advice?

Error 1611: This error may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow the steps in this article. Alsoattempt to restore while connected with a known-good 30-pin Dock Connector cable, computer, and network to isolate this issue to the device. The MAC address being missing or the IMEI being the default value (00 499901 064000 0) can also confirm a hardware issue. Out-of-date or incorrectly configured proxy or security software, such as FoxyProxy, can cause error 1611. To troubleshoot third-party security software, follow these steps.

How do I set up my old iPod touch 4 for my child

I am trying to set up my old iPod touch for my 10 year old. I want to be able to filter things out and get my contacts off from the iPod. I tried setting up a new Apple ID just for the iPod, but have not been successful. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you!

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Yo have to enter a birtdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. Note if you do this then y will NOT copies of Messages he gets/sends unless you also add his email address to your device in Settings>Messahes>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
You can set Restrctions for content
