Changing my apple id on my ipod touch
I recently changed my apple id email address, but I'm having trouble changing it on my ipod touch itself, so I can't update any of my apps. Help?
You can't "hack" an iPod but apparently some apps were obtained using a different Apple ID than your son's ID. In doing that, this other user wiped out your son's data! ALL purchases are permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was used to originally obtain them. Apps can not be updated without knowledge of that ID and, more importantly, its password. Apple IDs can not be merged and purchases can not be transferred from one ID to another.
This MIGHT work. Do what the other user did. Delete the app and obtain it again using your son's ID. Then connect to the computer that he normally uses to sync with and obtain the backed up data.

When I go to settings, then to app store my apple id is grey and i can not click on it to sign out of old apple id.
Go to Settings>General>Restrictions and unset the Restrictions that prevents changing accounts.
If you forgot the Restrictions Passcode:
Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored. Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see the following but it may not work for iOS 6.1.3:

First do this and then setup the iPod with your ID
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If you can't then the Activation Lock is on and you will either have to get the Apple ID and password of the previous owner or return the iPod to the seller for refund

Got two apple ids on an ipod touch. How do you make one the default?
Got two apple ids on an ipod touch. One child shared account with other sibling. Has now set up own apple id and wants that one to be default id. Every time goes to apple id, shared one comes up. How do we change the settings so that new id is the default?
Without knowing what you are doing when the other ID pops up:
CHANGE ID
The ID is used in the following locations and y have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID.
Note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
If the iPod has iOS 7 then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts -
My computer has recently decided to reject my iPod Touch completely from it's system, it has also deleted all the data from my iTunes library. It claims that my iPod has been synced with another computer and states that they can only be associated with a single computer. I was wondering whether there was any way of which I can change the computer of which my iPod Touch was originally associated with? Is it possible? Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
Your Device will only Sync to One iTunes at a time...

I have an apple id for my ipod touch at home. My company is planning to issuing Ipads. Should I use the same apple id on the ipad for those apps I purchase and would like to use on my work ipad?
Yes, otherwise you will have to pay for those apps again. If an app is purchased by one Apple ID, he/she will be able to redownload it again for no cost (note: this does apply to songs, but NOT to movies).
