When I transferred the info from an old ipod, broken, to a new one the contacts I received were from all over the place, many whom I did not even know.  Can I only restore from the last sync or can I go back further to get my old contacts?

I recently had to replace my ipod touch.  The old one had a broken button and would not change the screen correctly.  Apple gave me a new ipod and told me all I needed to do was update the new ipod from the itunes which I had backed up prior to getting the new one.  When I did the sync , the info for my contacts was giving me names and addresses from all over the place except the itunes.  Can I retrieve info from a previous sync or only to the last sync that was made?

Yes I did.  When installing the new ipod it had to update the software, then it sync'ed the information onto the new ipod.  The contacts were not the original ones, and all the phone numbers have dissappeared.  Is there any way to recover them?

    Go to the Apple Store webpage and in the upper right go to Account and select Track an Order. There you will find the status of your order. You only get a tracking order when the items ships.

  • I haveve an old ipod touch and a new one how do i transfer the stuff from the old one to the new one

    my ipod screen broke so i bought a new ipod touch and i am wondering how to transfer everything from my broken ipod on to my new one
                         thank you

    Everything should be on your computer.  Just sync everything to the new ipod.
    You can restore your new one using the backup from your old one.

  • Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old itunes account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    I just created a new Apple ID that is different from my old one. Is it possible for me to transfer the purchases from my old account to my new one? I would like to keep all of my music, movies, tv shows etc.

    It doesn't matter what your AppleID is - you can just change the email address associated with it at http://appleid.apple.com/ as mentioned numerous times above.
    Okay, my former Apple ID = my former email address and the latter is dead because I moved out of the geographic area.
    If you just updated the email address associated with your AppleID you wouldn't have to sign in twice.
    I guess Apple Inc is wrong because that is EXACTLY what they stated when I called yesterday afternoon.  SIGN IN TWICE when I activate Apple TV and want to watch/listen to my legitimate purchases when my iMac is OFF.
    Your only problem is the fact you didn't safely store the password to your account and subsequently forgot it.
    Wrong ... my only PROBLEM, SIR, is that my bride, my wife of over 51 years died in my arms at 4:16 AM on December 27, 2012.  As a direct result, I decided to get the **** out of the city where my Nancy and I lived for **** near 20 years.
    On the outside chance it is of interest to you, she is buried at Arlington National Cemetery, Section 66, based on my faithful military service during 1961 -> 1981 ... including Vietnam during 1967.

    Part of this PROBLEM, SIR, is that Apple Inc refuses to merge my old purchases with my new one.
    SHAME ON YOU!!!

  • How do I transfer music from an old ipod shuffle to a new one?

    How do I transfer music from my old not working ipod shuffle to a new one?

    If the music on this nonworking Shuffle is not in your iTunes library or in a backup somewhere, I'm afraid you are out of luck. You'll need to redownload any past purchases you had on there via iCloud. It shouldn't cost you anything.  See here for more details.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    For all other non-iTunes purchases content, you'll need to redownload/re-rip it to iTunes again from its original source such as another MP3 store or from CD.
    If the music that was on the older Shuffle is still in your iTunes library, simply configure it to sync to the new Shuffle.

  • I lost my old ipod and got a new one, the new one wont receive my playlists from my library. what am i doing wrong?

    new one wont receive my playlists from my library. what am i doing wrong? It looks like they are synched and i have the latest version of itunes on both but the only way to access my music is through the store

    See:
    Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive: Apple Support Communities
    If all your synced media like apps and music is in your iTunes library then simply:
    - Backup to iTunes.
    - Restore the iPod from that backup.
    For how to do both see:

  • HT1727 I lost my old iPod and bought a new one. The old one had many of MY personally owned and legally bought CDs on it. I have those iTunes backed up ant now I can't seem to "synch" them to the new iPod nano.

    I can't seem to synch my new iPod nano to the legally purchased music from CDs that had been on my old iPod which I've lost.
    I had a backup of all those iTunes that I want to import to the new nano.
    How can I "synch" the new iPod nano to the music I see in an iTune library? The new iPod nano displays "no music" and
    doesn't play anything.

    Hello PrettyinPinkInk,
    You might consider restoring the iPhone, then removing the SIM card after activating the iPhone, so as to use it as an iPod Touch. This should prevent any unwanted association with a phone number, and thus, voicemail, as well.

  • Can't transfer all of my music from my old iPod Touch to my new one?

    Recently I purchased a new iPod Touch to replace my well-used, three-year-old one.
    I would like to remove the music from my old iPod to the iTunes library on the computer, and then sync it on to my new iPod.
    Most of the music I wanted to transfer was already in the library, so that was easy to do. However, I have roughly 20 songs that are not in my iTunes library, but are on my old iPod. I have tried and tried to get them into the library to transfer them, but I can't do it.
    Is this even possible? How would I go about doing it?

    Are these songs ones you purchased from the iTunes Store? If so, the "Transfer purchases from iPod" command under the File menu in iTunes should work. Have you tried that?
    If these are not songs from the iTunes Store, you'll need third-party software to get them back into iTunes. Check out this post from Zevoneer for some iPod media recovery options:

  • What do i do if a song did not fully download and it only plays half the song the song

    i bought a song on itunes the other day and i realized that only the beginning half of the song will play and then it will stop for the other half and no sound will be coming out but it will still be playiny. how do i get a refund or how can i redownload the song on itunes?

    1. Delete the song from your iTunes library
    2. Redownload it via the Purchased link under Quick Links
    (Quick Links is on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes)
    3. Check and play song- it should play in its entirety now. If not contact support.

    I have a new iPod touch, but my apps from my old iPod touch won't load on my new one.  How do I do this?

    Perhaps the Version of the Apps on your Old Device are not compatible with your New Devices' iOS.

  • TS1363 How can i update my old ipod and add my new one.

    I have had an older ipod nano and i just recently got a new one. How can i add my new ipod nano to my current itunes account or do i have to have a whole new one? If i do have to have a new account how can i get my songs that i have already purchased to the new nano? I am so confused.

    Connect the iPod nano to the computer the exact same way you set up the old one. You don't need to create another Apple ID, iTunes Store account, or iTunes library.

  • Do I need to make an appointment to recyle my old Ipod and purchase a new one?

    do i make an appointment to recyle my old ipod classic and purchase a new one.

    Hello there Toby,
    Apple actually has a program to recycle your iPod in 1 of 2 ways.
    Recycle your iPod or mobile phone responsibly.
    At no cost to you, send us your iPod or any mobile phone by mail, and we’ll recycle it for you. Or bring your old iPod to an Apple Retail Store and get 10 percent off a new one.*
    Source: http://www.apple.com/recycling/ipod-cell-phone/
    If you were aware of this program already, then to answer your question, no, you do not need to make an appointment. Just let an Apple Store rep. know you have an iPod you would like to recycle, and you will get a 10% discound in store!
    All the best, and thank you for thinking about the environment,
    Sterling
