Can't get in iPod with my old account (that I also can't get in) and can't create a new one of there?
Hello. I have an iPod Touch 5G with iOS 7.0.4 I suppose. I was locked out due to forgotten passcode, so I had to reset factory settings. When the new user guide screen came on, it said "Please sign in with the account used on this iPod, which is m*******@yahoo.com", I know that is my old account and I know the email username and password to it. When I log in, it says "disabled for security reasons". I make new accounts but it wont let me use in towards my iPod. I can't get in my account because I can't get in my email!!! Is there a way to make a NEW account on the iPod when I just restarted it with these please sign in with the acc---blahblah?
You are running into the Activation lock and you need to enter the Apple ID and password for the account last used on the iPod.
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
To recovery use of that account:
Why do I see the message "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons” when I enter my password?
This message means that someone was unable to sign in to this account multiple times. The Apple ID system will disable the account to prevent unauthorized people from gaining access to your information. You'll need to follow the instructions on My Apple ID to reset your password.
If not successful, contact iTunes

How can I unlock an IPod with a locked screen that says Will open in 21,889,406 minutes?
How can I unlock an IPod with a locked screen that says Will open in 21,889,406 minutes? It was in our companies lost and found a couple years ago. Was never claimed. If I could unlock it, I could possible find out whose it is/was or at least use it. Not sure what model or what operating system it has. Was lost in 2010 in the fall of that year.

Hi, just upgraded my iphone 4s to ios6. all of my playlists are gone and if i create a new one, i does not appear on my phone. itunes match is activated. can someone help me?
You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

Where is the store menu in iTunes? I updated my computer and want to authorize it. I deauthorized the old computer (and probably my desktop at a different location, and want to authorize the new one. The help says that I need to clickon the store menu in iTunes. I do not see any store menu. I can access songs that I purchased a while back, but cannot download any new purchases. If I cannot get this worked out, how do I recoup my money for the new songs? Also, can I transfer the songs I purchased to another service? Brad
It's in the same spot on a Windows machine as well

I copied all my music to a brand new computer. I have songs that I purchased from iTunes in the list that are from a closed Apple ID. I can't open them now. What steps do I take to get them to work again?
If these tracks were purchased prior to the iTunes Store removing copy protection, the computer would need to be authorized to the iTunes Store account under which the tracks were purchased. If you remember the old account ID and password, you can try authorizing - go to the Store menu in iTunes and select the "authorize computer" command - and see if it will work. If it doesn't, or you know for certain that the account was disabled, you'll need to contact the iTunes Store and ask for assistance:

Does anyone know how to get an old account password when all the information on the account is not accurate and the e-mail address is no longer valid.
If none of the following will work If you forgot your Apple ID password (which sounds likely) contact Apple support: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security

I can't figure out how to get my music back onto a new iTunes from my iPhone. I had to replace my iTunes after an update to my operating system on my MacBook Pro was reversed (found Mountain Lion to be incompatible with many existing programs and couldn't use it). I had alraedy manually loaded about a 1,000 songs from my CD's and now no matter what I've tried I can't get them back onto my new iTunes! How can I fix this without re-loading all of these songs?
Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

A Skype account that I did NOT sign up for and can...
I received an email from [email protected] about a Skype account that had been created under said email address. I have a Skype account that I've had for a year under my primary email, and I never made a second account. Moreover, when I provide the email to obtain the password, I receive the email and the temporary password token, but both the automatic link and the code to manually enter bring up a message saying that the code is "not valid."
How can I access/delete this account that exists under an email address of mine that I did not create?report that account to [email protected], and request to unlink your email from that unauthorized account.
IF YOU FOUND OUR POST USEFUL THEN PLEASE GIVE "KUDOS". IF IT HELPED TO FIX YOUR ISSUE PLEASE MARK IT AS A "SOLUTION" TO HELP OTHERS. THANKS!

I have an iphone 4 connected to my imac/itunes account using its own designated email address. However, I also have an 80gb ipod classic which is connected to my general email address. How can I delete this and transfer the ipod to the same account as the iphone 4. Thankyou
iPods, iPhones, and iPads aren't tied to one particular iTunes accout/Apple ID. So there are no special instructions to follow to allow you to sync it with your newer account. Simply sync it as you would your iPhone 4.

Hello can someone help me I have an iphone 4 and my daughter has an ipod touch we are on the same email address but somehow with in the last 25hrs all of my contacts are gone and only hers on on my phone is there a way for me to get all my contacts back?
If you need assistance with finding any of your restores or attempting to restore from any that happened prior to his incident follow this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
IF you do find a backup that has your contacts; I'd /highly/ recommand turning off your wifi network after the restore is finished because if the issue is with your iCloud your contacts may merge back with her's.
With iCloud you DO NOT want to share the account; bad things happen Evil evil thigns...
But in all seriousness; if two devices have the same iCloud; iCloud is told to merge and sync infomation between hte two and can't tell that it doesn't belong to the same person -
My laptop died so I've installed itunes onto another PC and my music is all on an external hardive which is connected to the new PC. How can I sync my ipod with the new itunes and get all the music onto itunes?
You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/ -

ThanksGo into Settings App and turn OFF Find My iPhone. It will ask for your old password, but in the future you can use your new Apple ID account. If you need to reset the old password try this: https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid?language=US-EN&returnURL=https ://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa&app_id=93&app_type=ext
