As a grand parent, how can I put some apps on an ipod touch and then give it as a gift?

Apps and many other purchases are tied to the iTunes Store account via which they were purchased. So if you buy the app, that app is tied to your iTunes Store account. Without that account information, the child could not update the app nor back it up.
I'd also suggest giving the child an iTunes gift card or gift certificate along with the iPod. If the child is too young to have and manage his or her own iTunes Store account, then his or her parent could set up an iTunes Store account to purchase the apps. That could be done with that gift card and not need a credit card. You can also gift specific apps, though again that would require the child or a parent to open an iTunes Store account through which to redeem the gift. For more information on gift options, see:

  • Can I put purchased apps on both ipod touch and iphone4

    I have an ipod touch and am going to purchase an iphone. Can I put purchased apps on both? If so how do I do it? I hate to have to double buy all these apps. The free ones I can download again.

    Yes you can unless an app is specifically for the Touch. There are two ways to do when you get your new iPhone:
    - When you first connect your iPhone you should be asked if you want to restore the phone using the backup of your Touch. I got that option when I already had a iPad and then bout a 4G Touch. The backup will get you all the applicable app together with there data.
    - Do not restore from backup and instead check in iTunes the apps you want on the iPhone. However, only the apps themselves will be on the iPhone not any data in the apps that were on the Touch.

  • How can I put my music from my ipod touch on my new Laptop computer????

    I just purchased a laptop and I would like to put all my music from my ipod touch in to my new laptop. When I try to sync, I get a message that tells me all my music will be deleted! What can I do?
    Thanks,
    Matt

    You should move the music from your old computer to the new one then sync. The ipod touch is not a backup device.
    You should always have a backup. If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup (bad idea), then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod:
    Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    The ipod touch will sync with one computer at a time. When you sync to a different computer, it will erase the current content from the ipod first, then replace with content from the new computer.

  • How can I put some text on a circular shape and make it visible in a Picture?

    I work with LabVIEW 5.1.1 (FDS), the Picture Control Toolkit and IMAQ 4.1.1.
    I'd like to make some text to flow on a circular shape of given radius just like I can do with the most common graphic programs like CorelDraw!
    How can I do?

    A new overlay VI was developed to address the need to add text to an image easily.
    IMAQ Overlay Text (Functions >> Vision Utilities >> Overlay).
    - It is available in IMAQ Vision 6.0 (which requires LabVIEW 5.1 or greater).
    It will allow you to rotate text, but it currently does not support circular shapes.

  • Can you put iphone apps on an ipod touch

    want to use an ipod touch as a phone with skype but would love to use other iphone apps . . . possible?

    There are some iPhone only apps but for the most part all of the apps are touch/iPhone compatible.
    If you are thinking you can use iPhone specific apps because you are connected via Skype, those are not going to do it for you as they are often restricted to the availability of the 3G network.

  • I have purchase some apps on my ipod touch and recently just got an iPhone 4. I was wondering how do I sync the apps from the iTouch to the iPhone.

    Because when I plug my itouch into itunes, and go to the "app" tab, i can't drag the apps onto the left side. So i was wondering if i would have to repurchase the apps that i've bought earlier for my itouch.

    You can make the 'Apps' tab show up below 'Library' by going to: Preferences>General>Show (and then click the checkmark beside 'Apps').
    No, you shouldn't have to re-purchase your apps. If you search "Add apps to iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad" in the iTunes Help menu it should come up with a step-by-step explanation of how to add the apps. You should be able to click on the name of your iPod Touch in the left-hand column (where it shows up when it is plugged in). After you click on it, you should be able to go to the 'apps' tab in the large center-to-right-hand area of iTunes, and click on it. Then you should be able to either click and drag the apps from the left-hand column (under the apps tab, in the center-to-right-hand side of iTunes) onto one of the little 'home screens' at the far right. If you don't want to drag each app individually, there should be an option (checkbox) that you could select which would allow you to sync all apps to your devise.
    I hope that helps. Some of it is a little hard to explain through text.
