How do I set up an email for face time and Game Center for my child's ipod

How do I set up an email account for my sons iPod so he can do face time and Game Center with friends?

I would create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. You have to do it in your mane if he is not yet 13.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then use that account for Settings>FaceTime and Gamecent
If yo want it can also be used for:
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive to allow him to Message
- Settings>iCloud to allow him to have his own calendar and contacts
Continue to use the common ID for Setting>iTunes and App Stores

    How can I set screen saver clock which show time and date when all screen is black. Other phones have this option but I didn't find on iphone. Pl guide.

    HA!  I figured the find my iphone out!!!!! You can have more than one icloud account in "Mail, Contacts and Calendars".  So my husband's & kids' phone icloud account under "settings, icloud "is their individual @me.com account.  Set it to everything you want EXCEPT Find My Iphone.  Then under "settings, mail/contacts/calendars" you set up both accounts (your @me.com which may already be there), then add another with the main appleID and enable ONLY Find My Iphone.  Now when any of us log into Find My Iphone from any device with our main apple ID for the app store, all the devices show up!!!! YIPPEE.  I made my own day!
    I think the message I got previously was because I hadn't disabled the find my iphone on the @me.com account first.

    How do I set up an account for each of my children?

    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option.

    Please advise as I can't find a clear answer.
    Thanks.

    You have to be 13 years old to have an iTunes Account. The child cannot have his own ID.

  • How do I set up an email for my blackberry?

    I would like to add a couple of applications for my blackberry and it says I need my phones email address.  How do I set this up?

    I would recommend adding an existing email address to your BlackBerry via BIS. You can add a blackberry email address, but I don't recommend using those for a few reasons, one being that it is not spam filtered. The other is their isnt a web interface to check those emails, the only way they can be checked is via the BlackBerry. To add an email address to your BlackBerry via BIS you have to make sure you have a data plan on your BlackBerry. Then go to your carriers BIS site. Just do a google search, for example " AT&T BIS". This will allow you to add an existing email address to your BlackBerry, which in turn will allow you to have applications emailed to your phone.

  • HT204053 I'm a pc user who just got an iphone. How do I set up an email for my pc and my iphone?

    Help! I have no idea what I am doing. My daughter (Mac Person) told me to go to mobileme but it said it was expired and sent me to cloud.

    To set up iCloud, see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
    If you already have an email address you use and just want to add it to your iPhone go to settings-mail, contacts and calendar- add account.  Provide the account information and it will do the rest.

  • How do I set up individual accounts for our families three iPods, while being able to use the same music library?

    My family has three iPod touches. They are all different. We want to be able to set up individual accounts for each of them.  When we have them all under the same account, every time we sync, they sync the last person's music and app choices. Help.

    Yu can use the same account.  Just in the Music and App and other panes for the iPod check the boxes that say sync only checked item.  You do not want to check sync the entire library.
    See:

    For using different accounts also see:

    Yu can use Home Sharing (iTunes>Advancedtab>Home sharing)

  • How can I set up an email user as "send-only" (no mailbox for receiving)?

    Can anyone tell me how I can set up an email account that can send emails but not receive emails.
    Our Web application has been using a generic email address "[email protected]" in all of our PHP Web applications as the sending email account. I have this user set up in WORKGROUP ADMIN as a proper account. However the account gets tons of SPAM emails and is constantly filling up.
    Also, all of the email accounts require SMTP authentication to send emails.
    Is there any way to identify an account as a send only account so we can generate emails from our Web applications that cannot be replied to?
    Thanks for the help
    -- Jon

    Doing so will cause issues. If you send out mail which to an outside server appears to be non existent, mail may be rejected and you may even be blacklisted.
    You can remove the account from WGM and add a role account as an alias send to /dev/null. This will look to the outside world like an existing address, but simply be discarded on your system. You should however include a working address in your mailings for people to be able to respond.
    Assuming you use local domains, edit /etc/postfix/aliases and add:
    noreply: /dev/null
    (you can change noreply with the sender used in your PHP apps, but I'd probably change the PHP apps to use noreply as this signals to people receiving your mails that this address is unattended).
    When done, issue:
    sudo postalias /etc/postfix/aliases
    sudo newaliases
    sudo postfix reload

  • How can I set up auto respond for email

    How can I set up auto respond for email?

    Hey there jimmac169,
    It sounds like you want to have the Mail app automatically reply to emails that come in. You can do this in the app itself, but in order for the function to work, Mail needs to be open. Take a look at this info from the following article:
    Mail (Yosemite): Reply to, forward, or redirect messages
    Automatically reply to or forward messages
    Mail must be open before it can automatically forward or reply to messages. If you want to send automatic replies when Mail isn’t open—like when you’re on vacation—check with the provider of your email account. 
    Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
    Click Add Rule, then type a name for the rule.
    Indicate whether any or all of the conditions must be true for the rule to be applied.
    Set the conditions that determine which messages to automatically reply to or forward.
    Choose options from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
    Forward messages: Choose Forward Message from the first pop-up menu, then enter the email addresses where you want to receive the forwarded messages. Click Message, then enter any text you want to include with the forwarded message. For example, you could explain that you’re automatically forwarding messages. 
    Reply to messages: Choose “Reply to Message” from the first pop-up menu, click “Reply message text,” then enter your reply. Mail includes the full text of the original message in your reply. 
    Click OK.
    Carefully consider the rules you create. If they’re too broad, messages can be sent inadvertently or create loops (replies to replies you sent). If possible, test the rules. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the very best,
    Sterling

  • My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

    My iPad 2 only keeps a set number of emails for me to view eventually deleting from the screen. How do stop this as it syncs with my phone and mac book pro neither of which do this?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

    iCoud email accounts are tied to iCloud accounts.  If she has her own iOS device go to to Settings>iCloud and set up an iCloud account.  This will generate an corresponding iCloud email address.
