As long as you use the same Apple ID for purchased media, you can.

How can i switch an ipod from my itunes account to my sisters?

i am giving my ipod to my sister but i don't know how to remove the ipod from my itunes account and add it to my sisters new itunes account

The easiest way to change the account you are using on your mobile device is to scroll down to the bottom of the iTunes Store or App Store on the device and tap the Apple ID button. Then:
- To sign out, or to sign in to a different account, tap the Sign Out button.
- To sign back in, tap the Sign In button, then tap either Use Existing Apple ID or Create New Apple ID, and follow the on-screen instructions from there.

Can i put an ipod from canada(110v) in usb from romania?(220v)

If you mean can you use a wall charger that has been used for 110V on a 220 V outlet. You can with an adopter that converts the plug configureation IF, the wall charger says it is good for 110 to 22O V. The Apple ones are. The voltage range is small print on the charger and you may need a magnifying glass and goo lightning.

Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

Can I unsync my ipod from the original synced computer?

The five number is the number of computers that can authorized to use a single iTunes account. You can syncan unlimited number of iDevices t one iTunes account. You need to find one of the five computer that you not longer want authorized for the iTunes account and then deauthorize that computer. If you computer crashes and you have to reinstall the operating system the "old" installation still remains authorized. To cover that case Apple allows you to deauthorize all computer one a year so then you can authorize the needed computers. See:

Can I disable an Ipod from ITunes/Other Questions

Hi all! I am new to this forum and to using IPods/ITunes, so I am still trying to learn as much as I can about them. I made the mistake of getting my very irresponsible young teenage son an IPod (Gen 3) Touch. I have asked him several times to hand the device over to me so I can review the browser’s history (I am not even sure if that is possible, but I was going to try). I am I have major concerns regarding the websites he may be visiting. I am not trying to violate his privacy, but if it was a problem showing me the device - why won’t he hand it over - so that raised some major red flags.
So...my questions are:
Can I disable the device from ITunes? Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
I am not sure if this would make a difference or not to answer my question, but when I had to set up the ITunes account, I did have to provide credit card information to start the account.
I do have my daughter’s new IPod (Gen 4) Touch also linked to the same ITunes account.
One more thought...can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter? Would this disable his device?
Again, I am very new to using an IPod. I can get around using them (and selecting the correct features) with a little direction though.
Thanks for your help and advice in advance it is very very appreciated!

Can I disable the device from ITunes?
Not without being able to connect the iPod to the computer, no.
Or can I just delete the device from my ITunes Account? Would he still be able to use it?
See above.
I think I found a place on ITune where there was a place I could pick what parental controls that I wanted, I set those up - but I found this feature after he started hiding the device? Can this feature still work remotely without syncing?
The parental controls feature in iTunes only works for iTunes, not for a portable device. There are similar restrictions on the iPod, but those can only be set on the iPod itself.
Is there a way to view the browsing and internet history on the device (even if he would delete it)?
No, sorry, if he clears the history, there's no way to view it.
can I just delete the ITunes account totally and start a new one for my daughter?
You can start a new one, but that won't affect any existing accounts. You can change the password on the iTunes Store account he's been using. That would block him from being able to purchase any new content through that account. But you can't stop him from opening up a new iTunes Store account by using a prepaid iTunes card, available from almost any grocery store.
Would this disable his device?
No.
Without being able to have the iPod in your hands, the only way you can affect it would be if you had set up the Find My iPod feature before giving the iPod to your son. If you had, you could then lock the iPod or wipe the data on it. Otherwise, there's nothing you can do until he gives you his iPod, at which time you could set up the Restrictions and, if you wish, download a web browser that allows you to set site restrictions and force him to use that browser.
Regards.

How can I disable my ipod from being controlled by others

My brother has an iPhone 5 and he keeps restarting my whole iPod from his phone. Does anyone know how to disable it or something that won't let him do that? And by restarting I mean he restarts it to a whole new iPod.

He is probably using Find My iPhone app and you are probably on the same icloud account so he can restore it
the app is here:
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
Turn off find my iphone by going into settings>icloud and then toggle find my iphone off

Can I charge my iPod from the USB socket on my tv

Switching an iPod from Windows to Mac

I am about to buy my stepson a Mac to replace his PC. He wants to be able to transfer his iTunes library from the PC to his new Mac and I am hoping that he can do this using his iPod. Will this work and is there anything I need to do other than plug the iPod into the new computer?

You didn't say how big your library is how which iPod you have. While you could use the backup DVD option, in my opinion, if your iPod is big enough to hold your entire iTunes folder, it would be a lot easier to use the iPod to move the folder over to the new computer in one step vs. a series of DVD backups.
That said, once you have your stuff over on the Mac you have two choices with your iPod.
1) You can either just leave it as PC format. When you plug it in, the Mac iTunes will tell you that the iPod is synced with a library on a different computer (your old PC) and do you want to sync it instead to this library (the one on the Intel Mac). Say yes, the iPod will be wiped clear and the library from the Mac will be put on it. You are now synced to your Mac library on a PC formatted iPod, which is fine, since Macs can read PC formatted iPods just fine. If you enable Disk Mode you can still use the iPod on PCs as a hard drive to move files around. Or if you change the iPod to manually updating (instead of auto updating) then you can use your iPod on both your machines and be able to add songs from either library onto the iPod as well as using it as a drive on either machine. But you will have to now manually manage the iPod.
2) You can restore the iPod on the Mac which will now reformat it to Mac format and then will sync your library from the Mac onto the newly formatted iPod. As you mentioned, your old computer will not be able to read the Mac formatted iPod so you won't be able to use it on that machine anymore unless you went back and reformatted it to a PC format iPod.
One other thing to keep in mind, when in PC format, the iPod on the Mac will not be updated (or even tell you there are updates available) with new firmware if it gets released. It has to be in Mac format for that on the Mac computer. However if you don't have any intention of upgrading the firmware then this isn't really an issue. As an example, a new firmware might be release which is to support some new iPod gadget or iTunes store feature. If you don't want the gadget or the iTunes store feature, you may not want to update the firmware anyway, so no big deal.
But if a new firmware release comes out that you do want, you can either update it on the old PC or you have to reformat it on the Mac.

How can I switch my phone from blackberry to galaxy s4 mini? Just change SIM card?

Hi,
I'm using Blackberry curve 9370 and wanna change it to Samsung galaxy s4 mini. I've purchased s4 mini and not yet received it. So, when I receive the new s4 mini, how can I switch it? Just change SIM card? Both SIM card sizes are the same? Or should I visit nearby verizon store? Please guide me. Thanks in advance!

Congrats on your new phone MIn-Sun. Since your changing from a Blackberry device to an Android device you will need to make sure all your contacts are backed up. You can use backup assistance to save your contacts and restore them on your Android phone. If you're unsure you can definitely visit a store location in your area. Here are some steps http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/how-to-get-backup-assistant-blackberry/ .

How can I unlink my iPod from my iPhone

I have set up an account for my kid and would like to unlink his iPod from my iPhone and link it with his account.
Can this be done without wiping out his device?

Thanks for the info and here is more context.
My kid updated to iOS 6 and my contacts showed up on his iPod. He then deleted the contacts using his iPod and they were subsequently deleted on my iPhone. I'd love to figure out how to restore my iPhone but for now I need to get his iPod so that this does not happen again.
I went online and got him his own Apple ID but his iPod is still linked to my ID, i.e. when I text him it says I'm texting me?

How can I stop my ipod from updating to 6.0.1?

I was updating th settings to the latest software and hours later I found my screen had a sign that said plug into itunes. I plugged it into itunes, but screen didn't change and the software isn't updating! How can I stop the software from updating?

Put the iPod into DFU (Device Firmware Update mode). You software got corrupted, so you will have to restore your iPod which erases all data and settings.
Instructions to put device into DFU mode: http://www.ehow.com/how_5670624_put-touch-iphone-dfu-mode.html
