Can i make an account for a used ipod touch without erasing what is on it already granddaughter loaned it to me i want to down load stuff

I want to be able to download music and books to an I pod touch. My granddaughter gave me her old one, don't want to lose anything that's already on it. Her dad has an account but I want put it on mine. Said if I plugged it in to my computer it would delete what was on it, how can I do it

You can use computer iTunes to help.
Connect your iPod Touch to Computer's iTunes
In iTunes, select your iPod Touch under DEVICES (left pane).
On right pane select Music at the top.
Now you can de-select the music/playlist or anything you don't want and click Sync button bottom right.
You can do the above for Apps, Books, etc.
You can of course, de-authorize the computer in iTunes menu Store.
Note: That will make everything using his AppleID inaccessible.

  • Can you have 2 accounts for the one iPod touch without wiping data?

    My daughter got an iPod touch for christmas, however she has bought some items from the store from her mums account. I do not want to use her mums account, that is for her own use. However if I want to make an account with only iTunes credit on it on the same iPod is this possible without wiping all the previously bought data?
    Help would be grately appreciated, if need more information please comment or contact me on: tim.noldus1992<at>gmail<dot>com         
    Many thanks in advance.

    An iPod can be synced to only one computer and one iTunes account. There's no way around that. Sorry.

  • HT5622 How do i make a account for my daughters ipod touch using my email address?

    Tried to make account for daughters ipod touch using my email and it want let me because my account uses it. So how do i set her's up?

    One one account per email address
    I recommend that you
    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. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in an age of at least 13 years
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.    
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

    Follow these instructions and open an iTunes account. Then use that same account to get free apps from the Mac App Store.

  • I currently have one iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch and for my work iPhone and iPad.  Can I create a separate account for work and keep my current account for my personal use - on the same computers?

    I have an iTunes account for my personal iPod Touch - have had for several years.  When my work provided me with an iPhone and now and iPad 2, they all fall under my personal iTunes account.  Is it possible for me to create a separate account for my work devices and apps, while leaving my personal account intact?  I use both my compter at home and at work to sync occasionally.

    A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

  • Can't make an account for ichat, can't make an account for ichat

    Hi
    I just bought me a new macbook pro and i wanted to use ichat.
    The problem is, I can't make an account to use it.
    I just have hotmail.com accounts, and it doesn't work on ichat.
    And i fail in making an account that is compatible for ichat.
    Can you help me ?

    Hi,
    In iChat 4 there was a Get an iChat Account Button that linked to the @mac.com registration page (when you selected @mac.com in the add account drop down)
    In iChat 5 this had an option for the AIM Option to link via the same button to the AIM registration page.
    Then AIM moved their Registration page.
    For iChat 5.x.x. Apple have since disabled the Button (or pointed it to s different page saying the service has sort of ended)
    The Button is not there in iChat 6
    The @mac.com registration Page is Here
    This allows you to link an external to Apple email ID to an @mac.com name (It is sort of Hard Linked so you can only use this Email once this way)
    You cannot use an Email already Linked to an Apple ID.
    The Password you create here must not exceed 16 characters (AIM Server limit)
    The Name is both Apple ID and AIM valid Screen Name.
    A name create here will work in any version of iChat.
    iCloud.
    You can create a iCloud ID and this will end @me.com
    Again the password should be kept to 16 characters max.
    You can link existing Apple IDs to this as the creation process but again this "Hard Links" the emails
    iCloud does allow you to create IDs from scratch (i.e with an email not already used with an Apple ID)
    These names will only work in iChat 6 or Messages beta or Above (there's bound to be an "Above" at some stage as they say Messages will be in Mountain Lion)
    AIM registration page is here
    This can create any ID you want (it says it will be @aim.com but your don't enter this Suffix)
    You can use a secondary email for Password recovery and confirmation as many times as you want.
    The password is limited to 16 automatically
    You an in fact list any existing email as the AIM name (I have seen both Google mail IDs and Hotmail IDs as AIM Screen Names and technically it is possible to use an Apple name/ ID and the Name at AIM - most times it will tell you it is already in use)

  • Need to have a separate iCloud account for daughter's iPod touch

    I would like to manage all my iOS devices under one appleID, but with separate icloud accounts for my two daughters, each with their own iPod.  How do I retain my Apple ID on daughter's iPod but have a separate iCloud address so that she doesn't receive my Messages, etc?
    Thanks in advance.
    CN

    You'll have to have separate iCloud accounts to have separate email addresses.  You can do this and still share the same iTunes account for purchasing.  There is no requirement that they be the same ID. 
    To change the iCloud ID on each of your daughter's devices, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.)  If she is syncing any data with your iCloud account, when prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to select Keep On iPod.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom).  Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to the new account.  If they have any of your data in their new accounts, go to icloud.com on your computer, sign into each of the accounts separately and delete it.
    To prevent getting each other's text messages, use separate IDs for iMessage as well.  If you are currently sharing the same ID for iMessage, on each of their devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID.

  • How can I make the volume buttons on my iPod Touch control ALL sounds - not just alerts and system sounds?

    I would like to TOTALLY silence my iPod.  I turn the volume all the way down using the buttons on the side, but this just silences alerts and system sound effects.  Then I start a game, and the game sounds still play.  Of course I can turn the volume down after the game starts, but by then I'm already busted :-)
    I don't know if it's related, but...
    I can plug in my headphones and then turn the game volume all the way down. But when I remove the headphones, the volume goes back up again.

  • When an album has multiple artist how can you make them show up on an iPod Touch 4G? I can find an artist using the search function but they don't show up in the artist view on my iPod. iTunes shows them OK when you sort by artist.

    Tech support seemed to understand the question but had no answer. Why would an album with only one artist show the artist but an album with multiple artist not show any of them. The album art show various in iTunes. That makes sense but on my iPod I would expect to see all artists.

    Wish I did. I tried the group function but that didn't help in iTunes. The search function is the best I came up with. I can answer the question do you have susch and such artist. But I can't browse for an artist I don't remember exactly or have misspelled. Fortunately I don't think I've bought anything from iTunes that i already had. If you can't see an artist it's possible you think you don't have something you actually do have. Sorry, still hoping for a better work around or better yet a fix.
