Are you running iOS 5 or higher?Is there a way to set it up without physically connecting to iTunes? Is there a way to connect via wifi & follow the setup steps like the new iPhone.
It's a brand spanking new iPod touch so I assume it is.Are you running iOS 5 or higher?
Nope it's a present. Actually it's 3 of them & just wanting to avoid setting up 3 iPods on my laptop.Did you turn it on yet?
To sync wirelessly you have to connect to iTunes via the cable first, so the Wifi sync box isn't greyed out.Can you check what iOS it's on? With iOS 5.0 and higher this isn't needed. Your cutting the cord with iOS 5. No computer needed.
Yes, but you can also use iCloud, right?To sync wirelessly you have to connect to iTunes via the cable first, so the Wifi sync box isn't greyed out.![]()
The newest iPod comes with iOS 5 installed. You still have to connect & setup with iTunes.Can you check what iOS it's on? With iOS 5.0 and higher this isn't needed. Your cutting the cord with iOS 5. No computer needed.
Then somethings not right. iOS 5 is "cut the cord" meaning no computer needed. Quoted from Apples site "Activate and set up your device wirelessly, right out of the box."The newest iPod comes with iOS 5 installed. You still have to connect & setup with iTunes.
I know the iPhone is different I guess it's just the iPod.Then somethings not right. iOS 5 is "cut the cord" meaning no computer needed. Quoted from Apples site "Activate and set up your device wirelessly, right out of the box."
The Apple store still had to plug it in to iTunes.My sister recently bought an iPod touch from the Apple store and was up running it right out of the Apple store no computer involved, they turned it on and iCloud set everything up. So your either doing something wrong or your iPod is defective.

When you turn on the brand new iPod running iOS 5 it prompts you to connect to iTunes. There is no iCloud setup option & you can't go into any settings. I replaced my friend's son's iPod with a brand new iPod. He was having trouble with his home pc & has wifi. When he turned it on there was no iCloud option just the connect to iTunes prompt. He went by the local Apple store where they simply connected it for him & was finished in about 2 minutes. I thought there may be a way to do it without connecting but there's not & none of you obviously know from first hand experience.Please go into settings>general>about and then check the software,
You answered it. You have to connect once on the initial setup.From ANY iOS device (iPhone, iPod, iPad) running 5.0, you CAN set it up without the need for a computer. You have to use iCloud for this, as others have stated. To set up wireless sync with a computer, you have to plug it in using a cable just once, but this not required to simply use the device...
