I recently found my old iPod touch which I hadn't used for around 4 years or so. However the old email ('ntlworld") is no longer valid and so when I try to download to my mac I can't sign into ITUNES using the iPod device, the mac does recognise the iPod but won't let me transfer and I think it is because of the old email address etc? Anyone got any help ides to help me transfer music and photos from the iPod to the mac?
iPod touch, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
Hi
I am presuming the password it is asking for is iCloud if so this may help?
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID in iCloud - Apple Support
No it doesn't ask for any password it just won't transfer.
My iTunes email is hotmail but if I put that email and my current password into the iPod it just reverts back to the original setting and I don't know how to change these?
Are you able to restore the iPod within itunes? Then you can start from scratch with new email and re-sync?
The functionality of the email account is in no way related to the functionality of iTunes or the Apple Id its associated with.
Unless the Photos on the iPod were taken with it, or created on it, and not synced form a computer, they cannot be directly transferred out.
As for Music, syncing is generally on way. From iTunes on a computer to the device, and you cannot transfer it out of the iPod directly.
If the Music on the iPod was purchased from the iTunes Store, you may be able to transfer those purchases onto iTunes on a computer.
For everything else you will need a third party App such as iExplorer to get it out of the iPod.
Also I would suggest updating the email address of the Apple ID here:
Old iPod touch
