Changing ipod and itunes accounts

Hello all,
My son has an IPod 5 that is linked to my ITunes account.  I have only ever had one ITunes account and that worked great for a while.  Now that he is getting older he wanted to be able to text and Face time with his friends and every time that he does I am getting all of the messages and calls ion my IPhone.  I would like to split his IPod off from my account without loosing any of the games or game data that he has on the IPod.
Any advice that anyone has would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

    Home sharing only allows you to stream content from a computer's iTunes to an iOS device or another computer (and to copy from the computer to another computer), you can't use it to copy items to an iOS device.
    If the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them on your iPad via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on it, and for music (if you are in a country where music purchases can be redownloaded and they are still in the store) then you can redownload them via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad. Or you can copy them from your iPod to your computer's iTunes library by connecting it and using the File > Devices > Transfer Purchases menu option and then sync them to your iPad.

  • 2 ipods and itunes accounts on one computer

    We have one computer in our home, and it has multiple accounts.  My iTouch is synced with my iTunes account and my nephews iTouch is synced with his iTunes account.  I was in the process of updating his ipod for him so he could use the features on his iPod like I do.  However, ituens was telling me that only one iTunes account can have the download feature active at a time.  (My iTunes/iPod allows my purchases from either the computer or iPod to automatically download on the other without having to use the file/transfer purchases option)  Is there anyway for both iPods/iTunes accounts to have these features?
    Thank you.

  • I show and old defunct email address for my Apple ID on my APP store, iCloud, and iTune accounts and cannot log in.  I am told my ID or password is incorrect.  I did change my primary email address.  that is the app ID that is showing.

    How do I rename my App Store, iCloud, and iTunes accounts so i can update apps and software?  I have closed the original email address i started my App Store, icloud, and iTunes account and cannot log in unders that Apple ID.  I have tried going through device and my MacBook Air.  Where can i get on-line assistance?

    If you mean you are trying to delete your iCloud account in iOS 7 and you don't know the passwod for the old ID, do one of the following:
    If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You should then be able to turn off Find My iPhone with your password. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back and change your primary email address and iCloud ID back to the way it was.  You will then be able to go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current ID and password to reconnect to your iCloud account.
    If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to get them to reset the password for it so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account.  You will have to prove your identity to them in order to do so.  You can either contact iTunes support for assistance with this (https://ssl.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html), or contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

    This is all just a partial answer since details will depend upon how you want to do it.

    You'll need to get it all onto one iTunes collection on your Mac Pro, then sync the devices to that.  iTunes only lets you transfer purchases from a device, otherwise you have to use third party software.
    I guess you could also look into getting iTunes Match.

  • How do I change my iPad iTunes account & content from an old computer (XP) to a new computer 8.1

    How do I change my iPad iTunes account & content from an old computer (XP) to a new computer 8.1

    Hi RyanQuilty,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The first step on your new computer is to install the latest version of iTunes:

    Then follow the steps below to backup your iTunes library from the Windows XP computer to an external hard drive:

    Before connecting your iPad to the new computer, I would suggest backing it up to iCloud, and changing your sync settings to "manual" on the new computer:
    iOS: How to back up and restore your content

    iCloud
    iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch inSettings > iCloud > Backup & Storage,
    You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

  • Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    Can you sync two 4S iPhones to one PC and iTunes account?

    No you don't. You log into iTunes with your Apple ID but you can use one Apple ID for iTunes and a different Apple ID for iCloud. On your device go:
    Settings > iCloud > Delete Account and sign in with a new Apple ID
    This will only change the Apple ID for iCloud and both devices will continue to download apps and backup to the shared iTunes account.

    Hi Thanks for following up again.
    My speedtest came in about 6.5mbps (area average is 5 mbps, I'm in northern NSW)
    The istumbler test came in at an average of 51-55% signal strength and about 13-15% noise... could this be where the problem lay?
    I am on channel 11 is it as simple as changing that through my router?

  • How do change the default iTunes account on my iPad?

    How do change the default iTunes account on my iPad?

    You can log out of the currently logged in account by tapping on it Settings > Store, and then log in with the account that you want to use. Any content that was downloaded via the currently logged in account will remain tied to that account, so only that can re-download it or download updates to its apps.

  • IPod and iTunes communication

    I keep getting a message when trying to update my iPod mini that the iPod and iTunes are unable to communicate. I uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and downloaded the most recent iPod updater. All my songs from my iPod were erased and I still cannot update it or get it to do anything. Any help that anyone can give is greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried all of the steps in this troubleshooting article?
    The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly.

  • Taking old broken ipods off itunes account

    we have 2 new ipods that we would like to sync to our itunes account but we dont have room....is there anyway to take off old broken ipods we dont use anymore off the account and put the new ones on? if so please help all help is appreciated and thanked!!!

    Just plug in the new iPods to use them.
    You don't take iPods off iTunes accounts since they are not linked to iTunes accounts.
    Just don't use the old iPods.

  • Question re: email from Apple:  "Welcome to iPod and iTunes."

    I was curious as to why, when I received my "Welcome to iPod and iTunes" email (after registering my Ipod Nano), the email shows 3 different serial numbers...
    I only bought 1.
    Just wondering...

    You can check your Junk/Spam folders, sometimes the e-mail gets sent there. Also, double check that the primary e-mail address in your Apple ID account is hers. If none of this works, I suggest to wait it out, sometimes it can take up to 24 hours!
