When I attempt to sync my ipod touch 1st gen, it gives me a message that I am not authorized to sync on this computer and gives me my old user id. I don't use that old id and dont have access to the email address(no one does lol) and the security question is one that I would not even use. Anybody help?

    Have you tried:
    - Reset the iPod. 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 iPod.
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:

    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

  • Has anyone else had a problem with the Artist search buttons search peramiters changing after Apples latest ipod update ? I synced my ipod touch recently and it came up with a message saying a new update was available for the ipod but might take an hour .

    Last time I synced my ipod touch it ofered me an update for the pod that could take about an hour , I did it and now it doesnt search properly . When I used the Artist tab at the bottom of my ipod before it would find every single song on the ipod by that artist (ie it searched by TRACK Artist) . Now it only find the songs by any given artist that are on Albums by that Artist (ie it searches by ALBUM Artist) What that means is it wont find any song by any Artist on a Various Artist CD . HAS ANYNOE ELSE GOT THIS PROBLEM OR A SOLUTION?

  • Itunes 10.5.2 Freezes when i sync my iPod touch 3rd gen on ios 5

    Hello everyone!
    I have to questions that i hope a member of the apple community can hopefully help me with here they are.
    1. I need a solution that is proven to work either by you or a video of some sort to help me with this issue.
    I have a 3rd gen Ipod Touch (As it says as my title) its currently running ios 5 and itunes running 10.5.2. When i try to Transfer Purchases the Itunes Freezes completely. And as a result i have to open task manager and end process.
    2.Also My Ipod has chosen to freeze every now and again it basically freezes in the state where it looks like i have locked my screen so it like i have just pressed the lock button. So i try pressing the lock button again to see if that works which it didnt after i tried it with the home button and still no luck however it will randomly go back to normal as if it never happened.
    Please could someone answer these two questions it would be apprecicated.
    Regards.
    P.S thanks in advance

  • Ipod touch 1st gen will not sync my apps

    I've just bought my youngest son a cheap second hand Ipod touch 1st gen. I currently run an Iphone 4 and an Ipod touch 4th gen which both sync no problem but this new Ipod will sync everything I have (music, films, books, contacts etc but not the apps. When I click onto the apps section within the new Ipod on iTunes the availabe apps are greyed out and whereas I can click the "sync" box on all other sections there is no response when I click that box in apps.
    Please help me, the other Ipod touch is for my daughter and i can not imaging what will happen come christmas if she has all my apps but my son doesn't. Especially Angry Birds!!!!!!

    - Is the iPod signed into the same iTunes account that purchased the apps? (Settings>Store)
    - Are the apps compatible with a 1G iPod with iOS 3.1.3.  Many apps require a later model iPod or later iOS.l
    - Are restrictions set that prevent add ing apps? Settings>Genera>Restrictions
