Problem for Apple iPod touch Digital Media Player

Starting up with anew ipod touch

By tomsabaker on Oct 19, 2009

" "

I have just purchased an ipod touch. When I turn it on all I can get is a connect screen. Is this as it should be? Do I need to register on line before I am able to use or even just view the various functions?

I am in Japan at the moment, If I were to register on line whilst here on a friends computer, when I return to France inj a weeks time will there be a problem logging on to IPOD and registering on my own computer back in France?

You can register on your friends computer and all the music and data on their laptop will download onto your ipod. Then you can use it. When you get back home, your computer will ask you to establish a new user name in itunes and will delete all the info that you got off of your friends laptop and put all your data from your computer onto the ipod.

To use iPod touch, you need:

A Mac or a PC with a USB 2.0 port and one of the following operating systems:

Mac OS X version 10.4.10 or later
Windows XP Home or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later, Windows Vista Home Premium, Business, Enterprise, or Ultimate edition.
iTunes 7.6 or later, available at www.apple.com/itunes
iTunes Store account (to purchase music over Wi-Fi)
An Internet connection

Before you can use any of the iPod touch features, you must use iTunes to set up iPod touch. You can also register iPod touch and create an iTunes Store account.

Download and install the latest version of iTunes from www.apple.com/itunes.
Connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on your Mac or PC using the included cable. The USB port on most keyboards doesn’t provide enough power. Unless your keyboard has a high-powered USB 2.0 port, you must connect iPod touch to a USB 2.0 port on
your computer
Follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes to set up iPod touch and sync your music, video, photos, and other content. Your computer must be connected to the Internet. By default, iTunes automatically syncs all songs and videos in your iTunes library to
iPod touch. If you have more content in your library than will fit on iPod touch, iTunes alerts you that it can’t sync your content. You’ll need to use iTunes to select some of your songs, videos, and other content to sync.

When you get back to France, you'll need sync it with your PC. Download the latest version of iTunes then sync your iPod with your computer.
