Will my new ipod sync to my old one?

My old 3rd gen iPod touch just broke and I want the new iPod touch. If
I get it, will I be able to put the backup of my old iPod on the new one?

Welcome to the discussions,
yes, if you're using the same account again, iTunes will recognize the old backup after setting up the new ipod and ask you, if you would like to use this backup to restore from.
Also have a look at these help articles:

I want to sync a second ipod touch to itunes, however my daughter has some how registered the new ipod under my sons old one, she has deleted asll content and i have now reset it, how do i stop it being recognised as the old one

my daughters new ipod touch is being recognised as my sons old one on itunes,this has caused the ipod to lock and she has lost all content. i now want to get itunes to recognise her new ipod , but it is still recognising it as the old one, how can i sort this out

Does both your Windows and Macbook iTunes have the same library of songs?
if it does then, much easier to proceed, else try to load the Macbook with the same library as Windows.
Note that only one of the Macbook USB port is good for iPod Classic, the other is too slow and may cause timeout, and I would suggest disconnect all other USB devices, while you Restore or Sync the iPod Classic.
Connect the iPod to the Mac, (if iTunes launch, please close it back.)
Use Disk Utility -> select the iPod Device->First Aid->Repair (use option FAT32)
After the Repair complete, eject the iPod.
Connect back to the Mac
When iTunes launch, Restore the iPod when Prompted, (use FAT32)
Sync your library.
Good Luck!

Want to load my NEW iPod and give my old one to someone else

I received a new iPod. My daughter is inheriting the old one and she has no interest in my music - surprise! I want to wait to load the new before wiping the old.
Can I load the new one before wiping the old - just in case?
I saw the instructions for wiping the old one but what is the proper order of events?

Toots, first thing to do is buy a keyboard with punctuation marks. They are really quite cheap these days and will help to make your posts much more readable. I would also pick a model with the ability to turn the cap lock key off.

Buying a new ipod, and selling my old one to a friend.

I have a 32 gig ipod touch.I plan to buy a 64 gig ipod touch.Do i need to do a restore on the 32 gig , to wipe my music and apps, so i can put them on my new ipod? Also when i connect the new ipod I assume it will recognize it as a new ipod , and my friends computer will do the same.

Yes I would do a restore and then just hand it over to him. He can then activate it and sync it to his library. Then your new one you'll do the same thing.
You could just do a reset, which would delete all content and return it to a default state. But anytime I sell one I do a restore because this just allows them to start with an almost new setup. Most of the time it is a lot less problematic.
It is honestly a pretty painless process!

New ipods not working, but old ones do?

Here is the situation:
New 2G nano won't mount with toshiba laptop (satellite a105) running xp home.
Will mount elsewhere on other computers running xp home and pro.
5G ipods and 1G nanos mount fine.
itunes 7.0.1
tried every usb port.
here's the interesting part... my 80gig ipod won't mount either. must be something with the new firmware/hardware.
Any ideas as to why this might be happening? solutions hopefully less drastic than a reinstall of windows or sending ipod back?

Ok How old is the laptop? After looking at the Toshiba website it looks like it has USB 2.0 ports. But if yours is an older issue it might be a problem.
The only other thing I can suggest is updating all of the Laptop's drivers. http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/suscmodItemList.jsp
When punching in IPOD in the toshiba's website searchbox. This comes up as a possible Match. http://askiris.toshiba.com/ToshibaSupportSite/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc &externalId=1504530xml&sliceId=&dialogID=7371741&stateId=0%200%207369702

How do I track an old (stolen) ipod touch if I already synced a new ipod touch with the old information without knowing it would not allow me to track my old ipod but my new one instead?

I lost my iPod touch (4th generation) over a week ago and did not think I installed the icloud on it. When I was setting up my new iPod touch (4th generation),
I saw that it automatically shows an option for icloud. That made me realize that I probably did install icloud in my old ipod. The problem is that I synced my old ipod with my new ipod on the computer. I thought if I didn't I would loose all of my old infomation. So now evertyime I use the app to find my iPod, it finds my new one. It shows only one device located under it. Is there a way I could find the old iPod? Or could I restore my new iPod and find the old one that way? I'm afraid if I restore it I would loose all my information from my old ipod.

That makes no difference in finding/tracking your lost/stolen device.
The old device will only show up in icloud.com if you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Install new Ipod without loosing my old tunes

I got a new ipod to replace my old one that got stolen out of my car. My question is this: Can I instal my new ipod while keeping my existing songs/videos on my itunes. I was under the impression that I had to reinstall Itunes. I do not want to throw away the 2000 songs I have.

You don't need to reinstall iTunes to use another iPod with it. Just connect your iPod and follow the on screen instructions, it will find your existing iTunes and update.

Have iTunes version 10 .3 but do not understand cloud in iTunes 11.03 can someone explain it and also how do you find duplicates in new version and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which I have had for 4 years

I have iTunes version 10.03 which I love but my iPad Apple mini has iOS 7 but I don't understand the new iTunes what is the cloud shown next to the music and how can I find duplicates can anyone help me navigate the new iTunes and will the new version sync with my iPod Classic which is 4 years old

The main differences between iTunes 11 and earlier versions are the loss of coverflow and ability to have multiple windows open.
In Windows, you can restore much of the look & feel of iTunes 10.7 with these shortcuts:
ALT to temporarily display the menu bar
CTRL+B to show or hide the menu bar
CTRL+S to show or hide the sidebar
CTRL+/ to show or hide the status bar (won't hide for me on Win XP)
Click the magnifying glass top right and untick Search Entire Library to restore the old search behaviour
Use View > Hide <Media Kind> in the cloud or Edit > Preferences > Store and untick Show iTunes in the cloud purchases to hide the cloud items. The second method eliminates the cloud status column (and may let iTunes start up more quickly)
If you don't like having different coloured background & text in the Album (Grid) view use Edit > Preferences > General and untick Use custom colours for open albums, movies, etc.
With iTunes 11.0.3 and later you can enable artwork in the Songs view from View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) making it more like the old Album List view
View > Show View Options (CTRL+J) also contains options to change the sorting of grid based views
The cloud icons give you access to stream or download any qualifying past purchases that you don't currently have downloaded to the library.
Regarding duplicates, things haven't really changed. Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin. Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
Yes, iTunes 11 will support your iPod classic.

Sync new iPod Touch 4G to old iPod Touch 2G Library

When my new 4G iPod Touch arrives any day now, I'd like to sync it with my current 2G iPod Touch library. That is, I'd like to transfer all the data, apps, playlists, settings, etc. from my current 2G iPod Touch library to the new 4G iPod Touch. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? (Once the new iPod Touch is set up, the old iPT will no longer be used. I plan to reset/wipe it and possibly sell, so I have no need to sync both of them to the same library...)
Thanks!

I wanted to let you know that I had the same concern and everything worked well EXCEPT the Apps transferring. It turns out that if you bought your apps directly through your old iPod Touch and not through the computer than you will have an issue with App data transfering over. Here's what to do.
1)connect your OLD iPod Touch to the computer, back it up, and disconnect.
2)connect your NEW iPod Touch to the computer and go through start up.
3)you should then be prompted to restore from back up or set up as new ipod (if not simply right click on the listed new device on iTunes and select restore from backup and click on recent backup)
4)All of your settings will now be the same as they were on your old iPod but you will NOT see your Apps (however all of the data from your old apps is on your new iPod just not where you can see it)
5) Lastly, go to the App Store on your NEW iPod and download your old apps. (even if they cost money, it will not make you pay because it will recognize you have data from previous app on your iPod)

Most Windows users don't.
Purchase an external hard drive and use the backup software that comes with it to backup files from your computer.
Buy TouchCopy and install it on your new computer, connect your old iPod and transfer your songs to your computer.

Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
MB427Z/A Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
MB576Z/A Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD

I have 2 Apple IDs but itunes store on my computer will only let me log into my old one and not the new one...HELP!

So i had an old apple id i had created to use with my ipod but never ended up syncing them. So when i got my iPhone i created a new apple ID with my new email address. Well i went to log into itunes store on my computer (PC) and it wont let me log in with my new apple ID, just the old one. I get the same message everytime i try it: "We could not complete your iTunes Store request. The iTunes store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later." so i did try again. and again. and again. its been a few weeks now and it gives me the same message everytime. Its frusterating because everytime i sync my iPhone to my computer to backup and whatnot, all the music i bought on my phone doesnt sync and undownloads itself from my phone. What can i do??

I recently created a new apple ID
Bad idea.
Content bought with an Apple ID is forever associated with that Apple ID. Apple will not transfer content from one Apple ID to another and Apple will not merge Apple IDs. Unless you are prepared to forfeit all the previously purchased content and buy it all again with the new Apple ID, you will need to maintain the old ID to update and redownload your content.
