I set up my daughter's devices under my apple Id. How do i get her her own apple id without losing everything on her devices?

Initially it was an ipod but now she has an ipad and iphone and we are sharing the same apple id/icloud. I would like to keep my apple id and get her a new one without her sacrificing her purchases/music etc...What is the easiest way, if any to do that?

You can create a new Apple ID for her and set it up on her devices for iCloud and iMessage. Then her contacts and things can be backed up to iCloud under her Apple ID, and her iMessages will also be separate from yours.
You can, however, leave her iTunes, Music, and App Store with your Apple ID as before (you can use different Apple IDs for these different functions on iphones, ipads, Macs etc.). That way she keeps her music and purchases as before.
This article
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
explains more about different ways to do this.

Someone else set up my iTunes account for me and I can't remember the Apple ID, the Password, or the name he put under it all. How do I get back into my iTunes account???? Or at least a number to call to get back???

Go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in using the alternate ID.

I am missing the internet connection icon under my systems. How do I get it back?

I am missing the internet connection icon under my systems. How do I get it back? I am trying to eliminate an unvalid gmail account and add my new gmail account for work. It exists already so I don't want to create one. I can't get my computer to switch from the unvalid account. Per YouTube I need this application to set up Safari to switch between accounts. Help please!

If you are on a Mac, you can connect to a network either using WiFI or an Ethernet cable. These are both available under System Preferences.
What are you referencing as 'Internet' connection?

PS CS6 has a different set of installed fonts than my old PS CS4. How do I get my old fonts back? Don't like most of the newer CS6 fonts. Dell Precision, Windows 7. Does PS use the fonts in the Windows directory or does it use its own? If so, where are they in the directory? A lot of my preferred fonts show in the Windows directory but not in Photoshop, which does not display them within the program. Please help. If I get free fonts (NOT CC fonts) from elsewhere, where do I put them for Photoshop[ CS6 to use them? Thanks.

All versions of Photoshop get their fonts from your OS. Just install any missing font wherever Windows keeps fonts.
I don't do windows myself.

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device? It still shows up as purchased books on "Icloud".

How can I get rid of old books that I have deleted from my device but still shows up as "purchased books" on "Icloud". I don't want to see some of these books at all. I can sort by one that are PDFs and ones currently on device, but it still gives option to show those old titles. Does anyone know how to erase your "Icloud" history, please?

Nooooooo! lol... If I want to download again I will, I don't want an electronic trail. Plus when I have Ibooks open, sometimes I will accidently hit the item and it will immediatly try to download it. The problem with that is that its "Time magazines Best Photos of 2012" etc and it locks up my IPAD cuz of sheer size of the book. So I would like it gone from the history. Isn't there a way to clear the history?

I Have iPhoto on my macbook pro under a different account, how can I create/install my own iPhoto?

I Have iPhoto on my macbook pro under a different account, how can I create/install my own iPhoto?

The iPhoto application should be installed in the "Applications" folder and thus available for all users on your MacBook Pro.
When you launch iPhoto from a different account hold down the ⌥-key, to be prompted where you want to create a new iPhoto library for that account. By default an iPhoto Library would be created in the "Pictures" folder of that user account.

You can't. You will have to place the iPod in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

The screen-lock passcode is a good security feature.

When I click on Safari Icon it opens,but under the Desktop picture.How can I get it on top,so I could see it?

I would open a guest account and see if the problem persist in this new enviroment.
Boot into Safe Boot Mode and see if the problem is present, this turns off third party plug-in's and extentions.
This will give us something to go on and recommend the next step.

I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

I was recently blocked from using app Jack'D. Message I receive says "Your device has been blocked". How can I get around this?

Quoted from their FAQ's:
I got an error message saying my device is blocked. Why did this happen?
There are two reasons this could happen: You have deleted your account or you have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
- You have deleted your account.
When you delete your account, you agree that your device would be blocked for at least one month. This policy is enforced in order to protect users from stalkers. (If the system allowed users to create and delete their accounts any time they wanted, the Block feature would be compromised and wouldn't be able to protect users effectively.) Please understand this is not a punishment but a security measure intended to keep all of our users safe.
- You have been banned due to violation of terms of service.
Users of this mobile application are required to comply with our terms of service and instructions provided by our service team. The most common violations include, but are not limited to: Creating multiple accounts, uploading pictures not complying with our terms, and abusing the Report feature. In most situations, you will get a warning before you are banned from the app. If you receive a warning from our service team, please read it carefully and take it seriously. If anything is not clear, please contact user support for clarification.

Click on the Audiobooks icon at top left of iTunes window. It should be there. You can then drag it to your phone, or in File > Devices you can Sync iPhone.

You will need to Erase the Device and Set up as New using her Apple ID.
Then... Sync her content...

HT1481 is there any way an ipod 4 can be unlocked without losing everything on it? my daughter set a passcode and has now forgotten it!

my daughter has forgotten her passcode on her ipod4. is there ayway i can reset it withoutr losing everything on it? she has alot of pictures/videos on it that she does'nt want to lose!

I hope that you have a backup on your computer (i.e., synched your ipod touch recently). If that is the case, put your ipod touch into recovery mode by following the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
(Just look at Placing your device into recovery mode). When it is in recovery mode and connected to the iTunes, iTunes will ask you whether you would like to restore from a backup or not. Say yes and when it is restored hopefully you won't lose any (or much) data and your passcode will be reset.
