Changing ipod touch to a different user

My husband just got an Iphone and I got his Ipod touch. How do I reset it so the email and itunes will be in my name and not his? 

Hi,
Just connect the iPod touch to the computer and click on Restore within the iTunes window. After some time (it will take some 10 to 15 minutes), the iPod touch will become clear and ready to assume a new identity. If you have another computer or a different account within the same computer, disconnect after restoring and reconnect when you get to your computer or after changing to your account.
I hope it'll solve your issue.

  • HT1296 One Ipod touch has a different Apple ID than the rest. We are unable to sync Ipod Touch with our computer to transfer music we already purchased. How can we get this music transfered?

    How can I transfer music from our computer to an Ipod Touch with a different Apple ID?

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and tap the Apple ID listed and sign out and sign in with other ID
    You also may want to go to other places like:
    - Settings>iCloud
    - Settinge>FaceTime
    - Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and change the ID
    It may be best to go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings and start over again and set up the iPod again with his account/ID

  • How to sync iPod Touch on a different computer

    My piece of junk PC got another virus last night and is currently disabled. (I am on husband's Mac right now). So I'm trying to access my podcasts & all that on my husband's computer. We have "authorized" his computer. He also set me up with my own User account (so our iTunes songs, shows and videos STAY separate).
    But "sync iPod" is grayed out for me now.
    When I try manually dragging last night's Podcasts to my iPod, nothing happens.
    When I try and do a checkbox that says "Sync iPod" it threatens to "replace my podcasts" with what I've selected (which I am afraid might mean that if I download last night's Anderson Cooper podcast, it could wipe out the other podcasts that I've put on my iPod and would like to keep). I am not sure this would happen, but I sure don't feel like taking a chance.
    So does anyone else know what to do when you try and use your iPod touch on a different computer?
    thanks

    OK, thanks. I heard that someplace else, too. This PC torture has got to end.
    Time to go find a MacBook that I can afford. Or even a desktop Mac for that matter, though I really did want it to be a laptop....
    (sigh)
    Thanks for your help!

    There is no "adding" a device.  Simply plug the iDevice into the computer.  iTunes should automatically detect the device when it is connected.
    iTunes can sync/manage as many iDevices as you want... there is no 1 device limit.

  • I want to download the new software on my ipod touch on a different computer to what i normally use, but it keeps telling me i will loose all my downloads. Is it possible to make this computer the main computer to sync my ipod?

    I want to download the new software on my ipod touch, on a different computer to what i usually sync my ipod to, and it keeps telling me i will lose all my downloads. i it possible to download the update on this computre, without deleting my information, and making this computer the main computer to sync my ipod to?

    A manual backup will help in your situation.
    Make sure your new computer is authorized in iTunes. Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your iPod, right click on it in the device list and choose backup.
    This will save data, pictures and settings to itunes. See what's included in this backup here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Transfer your purchases the same way to copy all apps and bought media from the Store to your computer.
    Set up at least one contact and event on your computer to be able the merge your calendars and contacts after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    The rest of the data can be restored from the backup you made.

    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0
    Apps can be downloaded again for free, in some countries music as well: Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

    no, but i can try
    The curtain has been pulled back on iPhone 4, and the list of new features is massive: There's multitasking (finally!), a refreshed interface, and literally hundreds of other changes, all coming this summer. Here's the rundown.
    The new OS will ship in June (Fall for iPad, and a developer preview is available today, so we can expect to have plenty of apps updated and ready for launch.
    New Features: Multitasking, App Folders and More
    iPhone OS 4.0: The Best New Features
    • Multitasking: It's here, finally. It's handled with a simple task switcher: double click your home button, and you get a list of running apps. Select, switch, done. Multitasking is limited to audio streaming, VoIP and GPS apps, as well as a few other allowances: they can finish specific, important tasks in the background, for example. As far as non-music/nav/VoIP apps, those can be suspended in the background, but not left running. (See below.) Full details here.
    • Fast app switching: With iPhone 4's multitasking, most apps aren't actually running in the background—just certain functions of the app, like an audio stream or a GPS lock. But! All apps can now be frozen, in full, so that when you reopen them, they're restored to exactly the state they were in when they were closed.
    • Local notifications: Notifications can be sent between apps on the phone, not just from remote servers. In other words, if something important happens in an app you've opened and moved away from, a notification will pop up in whatever app you're using at the time, effectively saying "switch back to me!" It's a fairly clever way to keep track of multiple apps without the need for a start bar or dock-type interface. From Apple's dev guidelines:
    The advantage of local notifications is that they are independent of your application. Once a notification is scheduled, the system manages the delivery of it. Your application does not even have to be running when the notification is delivered.
    Apple's official line:
    iPhone OS 4's new multitasking offers users a new way to quickly move between apps, and provides developers seven new multitasking services to easily add multitasking features to their apps. These services include background audio, so apps like Pandora can play music in the background, and VoIP, so VoIP apps can receive a VoIP call even when the iPhone is asleep or the user is running other apps. iPhone OS 4 provides multitasking to third party apps while preserving battery life and foreground app performance, which has until now proved elusive on mobile devices.
    And some more technical details, again from Apple's developer guidelines:
    An application can request a finite amount of time to complete some important task. An application can declare itself as supporting specific services that require regular background execution time. An application can use local notifications to generate user alerts at designated times, whether or not the application is running.
    iPhone OS 4.0: The Best New Features
    • App folders: Now you can sort your apps into folders! That's homescreen clutter solved, just like that. Apple's description:
    Folders help users better organize and quickly access their apps. Simply drag one app icon onto another, and a new folder is automatically created. The folder is automatically given a name based on the App Store category of that app, such as "Games," which the user can easily rename. Using folders, users can now organize and access over 2,000 apps on their iPhone.
    2160, to be exact.
    iPhone OS 4.0: The Best New Features
    • A new Mail app: Unified inboxes, multiple Exchange accounts, fast inbox switching, threaded messages: These new features are actually a huge deal, since the iPhone's mail client has barely changed since 2007, and Apple doesn't allow alternative mail apps. Apple's pitch:
    iPhone OS 4 delivers the best mail experience on a mobile phone with its new Unified Inbox, allowing users to see messages from all their email accounts displayed together in a single inbox. With just a few taps, users can quickly switch between inboxes to see messages from any single account.
    iPhone OS 4.0: The Best New Features• iBooks: Oh hey, that iBooks ebook reader app and accompanying ebook store we first met on the iPad has ambled on down to the iPhone. Nice, since you can now take your books with you wherever you go, as oppose to wherever you go with your iPad.
    • Custom backgrounds: Jailbreakers have them. ****, the iPad has them. Now you can choose a persistent background for your iPhone—and not just for the lockscreen.
    • Game Center: Apple's going to roll out a centralized gaming service—a multiplayer network like PSN or Xbox Live—to help connect games to one another, by the end on the year. There are 3rd-party services that already do this, like OpenFeint. They will probably die. Full details here.
    iPhone OS 4.0: The Best New Features
    • iAd advertising: It looks like Apple's finally making use of Quattro, that mobile ad company it gobbled up a few months ago, by rolling out its own advertising platform, a turnkey ad plugin for app developers called iAd. The theory here is that instead of relying on links to external websites, which pull users out of apps whenever they tap on an ad, developers can use Apple's new tools to keep people in the app while still showing them advertising—sort of like popover browser windows. You can watch videos, play games, and even buy apps from within these ads. This is in the iPhone OS 4 developer tools, but it's not explicitly a part of OS 4, so you won't see apps with iAds until later this year. Full details here.
    • 5x digital zoom: Could this hint at a higher quality camera in the next hardware? 3.2 megapixels seems a bit low for 5x digital zoom.
    • Bluetooth keyboards: Another carryover from the iPad, Bluetooth keyboard support will finally come to iPhone 4.
    • A bevy of other new developer features, including 1500 new APIs to play with: See here for more details.
    The Hidden Features
    Now that we've had a few days to use the OS, we've compiled a huge list of features not covered in the keynote.
    Which Devices Get It, and When?
    iPhone OS 4.0: The Best New Features
    When the software ships in the summer, iPhone 3GSes and iPod Touch 3rd-gens devices will get all of the new features. The iPhone 3G and Touch 2G will get "many things," which doesn't include multitasking. I repeat: the iPhone 3G won't get multitasking, ever. iPhone 2Gs will be left on a hillside somewhere to die of exposure, or something.
    Apple didn't drop any clues about the next iPhone's hardware, but it's a fair bet that we'll see some changes come June.
    What About the iPad?
    iPhone OS 4.0: The Best New Features
    The iPad won't get the 4.0 upgrade until Fall of this year, a few months after the iPhone does. So, you'll be able to multitask on your dinky little iPhone before you'll be even be able to listen to Pandora and check your email at the same time on your giant iPad.

  • Syncing a new iPod Touch in a different iTunes library

    I just bought an iPod Touch (4g) this afternoon and now I'm ready to set it up on my Macbook.
    I already have an iphone 3g synced up to my itunes library. But now I want to create a new library for the ipod so i don't have to keep checking and unchecking songs, apps, etc... when i go to sync either one.
    In other words, I want to keep them separated! So, I successfully created and named a new itunes library by pressing the OPTION button and opening itunes.
    Now, the library is blank...so how do I get the songs from my ORIGINAL library into the ipod touch library???
    Is it as simple as copying and pasting the music folders from the ORIGINAL into the new ipod touch libraries' folder??? Or do I have to redownload everything and insert all my cds again an rip away?
    I doubt that I have to do this since I'm using the same account and username. Just want to make sure before I set up the Touch that this is the proper procedure and save me the agony of screwing it up
    If anyone knows how to do this, I would appreciate the tip. Thank You!

    Good idea. How would I deal with Apps though? If I wanted different Apps on my Touch, won't I have to check mark and then uncheck mark for each device??
    I only want certain Apps on the Touch. Can I make playlists for Apps too? Anyway, thanks for your help roaminggnome. I appreciate it.

  • Can I update a iPod Touch from a different PC and not lose my media files?

    OK. Here is the question, can you update a iPod touch which is on iOS 4.x to iOS 6.0 using a different computer that it was originally synced to, but not lose any of the media files on it?

    Only if all your synced media like apps and music are in the iTunes library of that computer.

  • How to sync a ipod touch to a different computer?

    Hi,
    I have a ipod touch and i used to sync it with a computer, then, the computer broked, so i tried to sync my ipod touch to another computer, but i can't (using same itune account). It said that if for example I sync the apps, then it would delete everything.
    Thank You

    If you sync your iPod with a different/empty library iTunes will only give you the option to copy your iTunes Store purchases directly from the iPod to the computer and everything else on it will be erased. You'll find details on transferring purchases in this article: iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
    Purchased applications can be downloaded over again, see this article for details: How to redownload purchased applications from the App Store
    If you want to recover the music from CDs etc that is on the iPod and transfer it to your new computer there are a few things you can do. music from CDs etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod Touch or iPhone. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer data (such as playcounts and ratings), movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well.
    A selection of iPod/iPhone to iTunes utilities:
    Senuti Mac Only (iPod Touch & iPhone compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    One last thing, you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. Open iTunes first and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" and choose Ok before connecting your device.
    Once you have recovered everything from the iPod and your iTunes library has been rebuilt it will be safe to sync again.

  • How can I transfer all of my info from one iPod Touch to a different ipod touch?

    I had an iPod Touch 4, 8Gi, but it got too small, so I bought a 32Gi model. Now I want to transfer everything to the new one and give the old one to my son. How can I transfer everything from one to the other?

    Easy, just restore the new iPod from the backup of the old iPod.  You should be offered this restore option when the new iPod is first connected to the computer.  All your videos. music and apps have to be in your iTunes library since they are synced to the iPod and not in the backup.  You will have to enter new keychain items like passwords since they only restore to the same device unless you use an encrypted backup.
