Need to add a new ipod touch to itunes but want to create entire new account ... how do i create a new account for itunes in another person's name and link the libraries?
I have 4 devices ... currently 3 of the are all attached to my personal itunes/email account. Just got another device - ipod touch 5 - that is my son's and I want for him to have his own account so that we are no longer sharing text messages, contacts, etc.
I want to create a new itunes account for me but still be able to share my music library with him. How do I do this? appreciate the help.

okay so I have a new ipod touch...but I need to get music out of my old nano to my itues w/out wiping out my old nano...how do i do this? new laptop so itues is new...please help
You need to authorize your new computer in iTunes with the same account that is synced to your nano (and old iTunes)
In the menu bar click Store >> Authorize This Computer…
This will allow your purchased music to be re-downloaded from iTunes and played on your new computer.
If you did not purchase the music through iTunes, you may need a third-party program to get the music off the nano. However, It is much easier (by far) to move your old library from your old computer to the new one if you still have access to the old files. iTunes will not transfer music from your nano to the computer. It is a one-way sync.
If you still have access to your old files, search google for how to transfer an itunes library, and follow someones instructions. It's not too complicated. You may want to specify mac to pc, pc to mac, mac to mac, or pc to pc, as the instructions will change. -

got a new ipod touch 4th generation but i tunes will not recognize it after i updated my itune, help
What happens when you try to install the iTunes update? Error messages?
You might have better luck posting in the iTunes forum sinc you have an iTunes problem, not an iPod problem. -
I just bough an iPod touch 5th generation, but I see that is doesn't have iOS 7 installed and none of the iWork or iLife apps are installed. Does that mean that I have to pay for the iWork and iLife apps even though Apple announce they were going to be free if you bought a new iOS device?
No. Those apps need to be downloaded from the app store. However, since they are only free to those with new devices, you first need to set up and activate your iPod. Then, using the same ID you use to activate the device, sign into the app store and you should find that the apps are free for you.

Hi-
Oops. looks like I hasked the whole question in the headline, but... How does this work? When I connect my new pod to iTunes how do I get iTunes to recognize the new pod, disregard the old pod and transfer my content to my new pod? Also, I have a G5 that runs 10.4.11 OS. Will the new pod synch to this computer running this old software yet. Apparently, I have to "climb the mountain" to find a copy of Leopard for G5 and I apparently cannot run Snow Leopard. What are the needs or restrictions for synching a 4th Gen iPod touch?
Thanks-
DMitzThe 4G iPod needs at least OSX 10.5.8 on a Mac. You are right that the G5 can't use OSX 10.6 or later. Apple will sell you a 10.5.8 disk but you have to call them since it is not listed in their on-line store. Price is $129.
For 4G specs:
System requirements
USB 2.0
iTunes 10.1 or later6
Mac: Mac OS X v10.5.8 or later
PC: Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows XP Home or Professional (SP3) or later
Broadband Internet access required; fees may apply. -
I have just bought a new 32gb ipod touch I have been through the set up.
When connecting to my apple library on my computer it will let me put apps on to the new touch
but not any music or videos. can anyone help?What happens when you try to sync the music and videos to the iPod?
Was all media purchased wit the same Apple ID?
Did the music and videos sync to the old iPod? -
Ok, so here's the not so sad story. I bought an iPod Touch 2g 16g through Ebay - so forget warranties. Luckily I did not pay much. The description said it was stuck on the apple logo, so I figured it would be an easy put into recovery mode and restore problem.
Not so much.
If you plug the iPod in and charge up the battery the LCD will come to life after a while with the apple logo, then it displays the spinning wheel with the apple logo over it. That will last anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes, then the iPod will go blank for a few secs and then start up the cycle all over again.
As stated, this iPod will NOT enter either DFU or recovery mode and believe me I've tried it several times several different ways with different timings, connected via USB to a Mac, connected to a different Mac running Windows, and connected to just the charger. Nothing. Occasionally the screen might go blank while holding the power and home buttons but nothing else happens and then it starts it's usual cycle again.
Again, iPod NOT recognized by iTunes on either Mac or Windows side. Since I got off Ebay and seller didn't know much about it, I have no idea if someone tried to jailbreak this or not.
I will not put much money into this machine. So I guess my question is: does this behavior mean that the motherboard is clearly fried? Are there any software programs that might diagnose what the problem is? Could it be as simple as a fried battery?
And most importantly, is this iPod simply toast or is there anything anyone can suggest????
Really any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated. Seems a shame to just trash an iPod touch that might need a simple fix...
If it helps matters, I can tinker with iPods somewhat and have torn down and replaced several iPod touch 1g and 2g glass and digitizers with no problems. I'm somewhat software savvy but the whole jailbreak thing is new territory... and I can't really figure out the command in Windows or Mac terminals to list all connected devices so I have no idea if the computer even knows the iPod is there, even if iTunes doesn't. Guess that's it... ummm, please help???Nothing huh? No one's had this problem or this isn't fixable... oh well... if anybody comes up with anything I'll check in occasionally...

Hey RavenDawn1002,
If you have a Windows computer, you'll want to run through the steps in this article:

If you have a Mac, then use this article instead:

i had to change my apple id, i did it on itunes through my account settings, but for some reason it didnt carry over onto my ipad, its still using my old id, and i cant get the new one onto the ipad. i cant find anyway to change the id on the ipad.
i have synced it through itunes and through the ipad wifi with no luck on the new id carrying over.
please help.
thanksi did that and i am able to log in on my computer under the new id, its the ipad that will not change to the new id i created, it still has the old id and there is no place to change it on the ipad.
on my ipad, it still shows the old apple id. lets say it shows the old id as [email protected] and now the new id is [email protected]@hotmail.comm.
the computer shows newid@[email protected] and i can log in and use on the computer, but the ipad is still showing [email protected]
now what i need to do, is get the new id on the ipad so i can download and use the app store.
i went through all the steps on the computer, confirmed with new email that was sent for the new id -
If you have any solutions, please leave some under this discussion.
Thank you :-)I'd say this article does a good job with that.

I have a new ipod touch (in box) but im not sure which generation it is
i was wondering if there is any way to tell by a SN or something, whether it is the new one or old.
it was purchased after the 2nd gen one had already been out for a day or so.
but yeah its in the box and its 8gb but it doesnt say which generation.. thxIf it's in a clear plastic case, and you see a black volume control on the left side, its a second generation. if it's in a John Lennon box, it's first gen.

I got a new iPod Touch today. I wanted to transfer all my apps and data over to the new iPod from my old one, so I restored it from my old one. Unfortunately, it seems to have erased the new apps that come with the latest iPod. What do I do to get the back?
Maybe I'm confusing apps with function. I was looking at the features on Apple's site, and it showed Voice Control, Air Print, Air Play, that sort of thing.

Issues using new iPod Touch due to OS
Hello all.
I just got an iPod touch for my birthday, and upon attempting to use it, I was instructed to download and install the newest version of iTunes.
No problem, except I cannot install the newest version of iTunes because it won't run with my current operating system.
So, I went to download updates for my OS and I cannot install the newest versions (my machine tells me that my software is up to date when I try to use the software update tool - it's a big liar).
I am assuming that I cannot install OSX 10.5.whatever because I am currently running Mac OSX 10.3.9!! (Old, I know)
After hunting the apple site, and finally the web, I cannot find a download for 10.4.0 (tiger) and without it I am afraid that I can't continue to update my OS, and therefore I can't even USE my brand new iPod touch.
Help! Please! What do I do?So, I went to download updates for my OS and I cannot install the newest versions (my machine tells me that my software is up to date when I try to use the software update tool - it's a big liar).
Software Update only shows you free updates.
I am assuming that I cannot install OSX 10.5.whatever because I am currently running Mac OSX 10.3.9!!!!! (Old, I know)
You can if the computer meets the requirements for it. A previous OS version isn't required for the retail package.
After hunting the apple site, and finally the web, I cannot find a download for 10.4.0 (tiger) and without it I am afraid that I can't continue to update my OS, and therefore I can't even USE my brand new iPod touch.
Mac OS X 10.4 and 10.5 are paid upgrades.

I ONLY want my music to transfer to my new iPod touch
I just bought an iPod touch 5 gen and I have my iPod touch 4 gen backed up to iCloud. I only want to transfer my music to my new iPod. I don't want my apps pictures etc transferred, how do i do this? I also didn't buy my music, so does that matter?
iCloud backup only include iTunes purchases.
Also. the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not included any synced media like apps and music.
The only way is to sync non-iTunes purchased music from your iTunes library.
