Upgrading iPods and licences
When you upgrade your iPod (nano to touch in this instance), do you connect both iPods to iTunes and drag songs from old to new and then delete songs from old (keeping licences intact), or do end up burning another license? I understand each song allows 5 copies.
Thanks, from an iPod/iTunes novice
When you upgrade your iPod (nano to touch in this instance), do you connect both iPods to iTunes and drag songs from old to new
No.
Songs are in iTunes.
Add them to your new iPod.
You can delete them off the old iPod if you wish but no need to.
The "license" (authorization) is for the computer not the iPod.

Upgrading iPod and keeping settings and stars?
Hi!
My 4G 40GB ipod appears to be on its deathbed.
I have a 40GB 4G and the screen has a dead strip veritically thru the middle. A seperate area later appears on the right side about a pencil eraser wide. After not using for an hour or so, the right sided defect goes back to a hair thick.
After calling iPod and going on the boards, I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware problem and will cost about $200 to fix. As a new 160GB iPod classic costs only about $300, I've decided to buy the new one.
What do I need to do to prepare my iTunes for the new device? Do i have to de authorize any purchased music? Can I call my new 160GB by the same name as my old?
Most importantly, can I keep my stars and playlists?
Advice or referral to the correct FAQ/Guide (I didn't see one) would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!*What do I need to do to prepare my iTunes for the new device? Do i have to de authorize any purchased music?*
You don't need to do anything, it's your computer that is authorised to play your purchases not the iPod. The iPod will load music from an authorised computer and iTunes will transfer the ratings to the iPod. You just need to connect your new iPod. If the songs you had on your previous iPod are still in iTunes they will load onto your new one. Follow the on screen instructions to name the iPod and automatically sync your songs and videos onto the fresh installation. Press Done and the iPod will appear in iTunes and start to sync. If you want to update manually or using selected playlists uncheck the box beside the sync automatically instruction and press Done, it will default to manual mode and you can choose whatever setting you like. -
Upgrading Ipod and giving old one away
I have upgraded to Itouch and I want to give my other IPOD to my daughter, but it is registered in my computer, how do I give it to her so she can take it home and use it with her computer?
When the iPod is connected to the new computer, confirm that you want to change the computer it is associated with. She may also want to reregister the iPod.

Cannot download apps? Upgraded iPod and now it's not upgraded enough?
So last night I went and updated my iPod. I haven't updated it in forever so I thought that it would do me good to update it. After updating it, I relized my apps and music were gone, like it had said being that I was updating to iOS. Now, I cannot download apps AT ALL. It updated my iPod to 4.3.1 and even apps that should be 4.3 to download tell me I do not have the right update. I can't update the iPod any further because it tells me that there are no updates! Now I have to take time to get ALL of the music back, which I was okay with AT FIRST, and now also I can't download ANY apps!
I went onto the support section of the apple website and didn't find ANYTHING. Nothing answered my question, and when it got to the point where I found that I could chat with a support person online, it then informed me that I'd have to pay for it. What is this?
This is ******* ME OFF right now. I don't have the money to just TALK with someone for help with an iPod. I can't find an answer and need HELP.If you are using the ipod as designed and doing just the very bascis, then all of your apps and music would be on your computer and you would simply sync them back to the ipod.
If you have failed to do this, then it is entirely your fault that you are in this situation.
Which ipod touch do you have?

1st gen can go to 3.1.3
2nd - 4.2.1
3rd - 5.1.1

I've just 'upgraded' my ipod and now my G5 can no longer talk to my ipod.
Why can I not just transfer my ipod (music, movies etc) info to my other macbooks? This service stinks.Are you running Leopard? If so, try updating to iTunes 10.6.3.25.
A .dmg installer for iTunes version 10.6.3.25 for Mac OS can be found at the following download page on the Apple website:

A message keeps popping up when I try to join my network that says, "unable to join the network."
I have already reset network settings and restored ipod to original settings.
I already updated iTunes and upgraded iPod to iOS 6.
The password is correct. I even made sure by checking my wifi account.
I have completely restarted my internet connection multiple times.
I have also restarted my ipod multiple times
My wifi was working on my iPod yesterday before I reset all settings.
I updated it yesterday to iOS 5. Still didn't work.
It wasn't updated to the new iOS 6 until today so I don't think it has anything to do with the upgrade.
My camera started to be glitchy, so I reset my Ipod like I was advised in another discussion.
My internet wasn't connected anymore. My password wasn't working either, but the wifi connection was still showing.
Safari still wasn't working, though.
I did the sensible thing and I reset my network connection.
Now, the password isn't working and there's no wifi signal.
The camera is working well now, but the wifi is messed up. I didn't expect any of this to happen. The internet is all I use the iPod for. Now, the iPod is useless to me. Please help?are other things still connecting to the wifi without a problem?
Have you tried resetting network settings, then unplugging modem and router from power for 40 seconds then plugging back in letting the lights stabilize and Then recconecting with the ipod>? -

I have already reset my ipod shut it off as well. I have upgraded Itunes and the ipod does not want to show up on Itunes anymore. It used to before but now it doesn't. How do I solve my problem?
See:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
Run this to help if it identifies the cause

Upgraded my ipod and now I cant facetalk or imessage
I upgraded my Ipod and now im struggling with facetalk and imessage and cant do any of it.... what do I do......
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.

Garbled (skipping) songs on iPod and iTunes back again after upgrade
I orginally posted about this back in September. Some of my songs all of a sudden became garbled or were skipping on both my iPod and in iTunes. The CD's don't skip. At that time a new version on iTunes was available and some iPod genious in this forum asked me to upgrade. Once I upgraded to the latest version it fixed the problem. All my songs went back to normal. BUT SINCE THEN, a new version on iTunes came out again. When I upgarded, the garbled songs and skipping came back. I'm figuring that this is an iTunes problem since upgrading to new versions made the problem go away and come back.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Can someone help me?I'm having problems with mine as well. Mine studders through songs every so often. I haven't found an answer to that yet.

I upgraded storage and it put it on iPod instead of iPhone
I upgraded my iCloud storage and it posted the storage
To my iPod instead of my iPhone. How do I change that?
I need the extra storage to do the be update.Upgraded storage goes to the account, not to a particular device. If the iPod and iPhone are sharing the same account, then the additional storage applies to your iPhone too, even if it isn't showing yet.
