Two new iPod touches: one set up via wi-fi the other will only connect to iTunes on a computer to set up. Does the 2nd have the old iOS?

Two touches for kids for Christmas. White one set up in about 5 minutes out of the box using our home wi-fi. Turned on the black one and it only shows an icon to connect it to the computer and iTunes to set it up. This is a problem since we don't have our laptop available right now. I'm disappointed because I had read so much about this new iOS 5 and the ease of set up without the computer. Does this mean that our black iPod touch does not have iOS 5? If I plug it into iTunes later will it look and act the same as the white one ?

Susan, the OP(original poster) can't access the iPod to check the verson.
For the OP, I would assume that it does not have iOS 5.  Sorry.

    OK, I found the part about history. It is just to unmark that.
    But still i wonder how often it sync? Instantly? Or when closing FF?

  • 2 x ipods 1 will play music on docking staitons x 3 the other will only charge

    I have 2 ipods in this house and 3 docking stations.  The first ipod is the 4th generation 8gb and the second is a 16gb 4th generation. 
    The 8gb ipod will charge and play music on all 3 docking stations, however, the 16gb will only charge on all of them.  I am tearing my hair out trying to figure out whether it is the ipod or not.  i have matched  the settings on both ipods so they are the same and still no music on the docking station.
    I would be really greatful if anyone can shed some light on this for me, coz im dammed if i know!!!!!!!

    Do both had the same iOS version?
    Try:
    - Inspect the dock connector for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - 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.
    - 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.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • I have a 2nd or 3rd generation iPod touch. Recently, it doesn't recognize headphones and will only play music through it's speakers. I've tried cleaning the area where you plug in the headphones but this has not helped. What should I do?

    My ipod touch (2nd or 3rd generation) won't recognize headphones anymore! I have'nt gotten it wet or dropped it. I've tried cleaning out the plug where you plug the headphones in. I've had no luck. Is this fixable or is it time to trash this iPod?

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                  
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.

    Replace the jack yourself

    It i likely not worth getting it fixed if a bad headphone jack

  • My ipod touch got stolen and when i got it back it said connect to itunes how do i get my apps and information on it back while restarting it through itunes?

    my ipod touch got stolen and when i got it back it said ipod disabled connect to iTunes how do i get my information from notes, contacts, etc. and apps on it back while restarting it through iTunes?

    Connect the iOS device to your computer and restore via iTunes. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see the following. This will get the iPod like it was when the backup was made. This is you only possible way of getting your information back since when the iPod is in recovery mode (the screen show conect to iTunes) the iPod is already erased.
    iOS: How to back up
    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 iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    - 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.

  • Ipod touch doesn't turn on, screen shows that it must be connected to itunes.

    pod touch doesn't turn on, screen only shows that it must be connected to iTunes. After connecting it and clicking the 'restore', downloaded the software needed to update the device. After all these steps, nothing happened. then the screen suddenly showed the apple logo, then the symbol that shows it must be connected to itunes.. happens again and again.

    Maybe here:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .
