Child Apple ID on only Apple device

Just purchased my daughter a new iPod Touch. This is our only Apple device. Is there any way to create a family account and then her child account since this is our only Apple device?

This says no.

Just create a regular account and supervise it use. If you do not want to have a credit card in the accunt then
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device?

How do I change my Apple ID on only one device? I inherited my husband's iPhone 5. He cleared it but I set it up with same Apple ID so we could share same iTunes account. However, I realised that there are inconveniences such as not being able to Facetime each other. In addition, his iTunes account is UK-based and we'd like to also have a New Zealand iTunes account for various reasons.

Go to settings/icloud and sign out. Then sign in by creating a new Apple ID. Do the same in Settings for Messages, FaceTime and iTunes & App Store. Next, link your Apple IDs using Family Sharing so you can still share music and apps. Family Sharing - Apple Support

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account?

How do I make one (and only one) device use my Apple ID and iCloud account? I currently have an iPad mini, iPhone 5, and MacBook pro attached to my apple accounts, but I want only my iPhone 5 to be assosiated with either one. Whenever I use any of the three devices, I get a notification on the other two telling me that these devices are now using these accounts from these services, etc. and I want these notifications to stop, along with the devices using to them. How do I do this? I completely reset the iPad mini so I don't know how I'm still getting notifications from it, and I deleted and signed of of all of my accounts everywhere I could find on my Mac. So, to restate exactly what I want to do, I want ONLY my iPhone 5 to use ANY of my Apple/iCloud accounts and ONLY it can receive emails, iMessages, and FaceTime calls. Thanks!

If you want to disconect your Mac from iCloud, go to System Preferences>iCloud and click Sign Out. If you only want to stop using iCloud email, just uncheck Mail. To stop iMessage, open the Messages app, go to Messages>Preferences, click the Accounts tab, click your iCoud ID on the left-hand side, then to the right click Sign Out. To stop FaceTime, open the FaceTime app, then click "Apple ID" then click Sign Out.
On your iPad, go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account (or if you only want to stop using iCloud email, turn Mail off). For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID and sign out. For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID and sign out.

I have created an extensive slideshow w/music on my MacBook Pro iPhoto. How do I export a slideshow so that I can burn a DVD from it? "Help" does not offer info for this request, only if you want to export to another Apple device. Help!!!

I have created a lengthy slideshow with music on my MacBook Pro under Iphoto. What steps do I need to take in order to burn a DVD copy of this slideshow? "Help" does not offer info for this transaction, only if you want to export to another Apple device and it shows that you must first export to Itunes. Can anyone help me with information on just copying to a DVD? I don't want to email it or show it on another Apple device. I want to be able to burn multiple copies on DVDs as a gift...... Can it be done? I'm not real computer savvy

Connect the device to the computer.
In iTunes, select the content desired to sync.
Sync.
This is all described in the User's Guide, reading it may be a good place to start.

How do I enable my new macbook pro to become my default computer to sync all my apple devices-iphone 4, touch, ipod classic, nano? My five year old dell's hard drive has only 2GB of space available and is currently the computer I use for all these device

I have a new macbook pro that I wish to sync all my apple devices--ipodclassic,nano,iphone4,touch-- that are currently synced with a 5 year old windows based computer with only 2GB of available hard drive space. How can I do this and maintain all of my info-contacts, songs,photos etc without losing this data< Thanks

you can either update to lion/ios5 and use the cloud to sync or you can plug in said devices and sync them with your MBP instead of your dell via a tethered usb connection.
also, sign into your itunes store account on your mac.

I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

For me, a time capsule is even safe when you have whatter damage op fire in your house. Am I wrong or is it just an additional HD like there are so maney with the only advantage that it goes automatically via your wifi for apple devices?

Jloe,
As I have posted before, You, and others having issues with Verizon would be much better off if you complained to the FCC and FTC as well as your Senators and Congressmen. We, as individuals, have such small voices - use them where they might do the most good.
Also, don't assume that Verizon doesn't monitor these postings, they actively do & sometimes contact those that post complaints.
Sorry for your problems. GC

Somehow a new contact became associated with my email. Now all my email has her name on it. This happens only on my iMac, not on my other Apple devices. I have removed my email from her contact card and deleted her from previous recipients on Mail.

Check the settings in the Accounts for Mail.
Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Click on your email Account in the left column > What appears under Full Name in the right column?
If that is the incorrect name you're describing change it to your correct name.

Reoccurring warning, literally every 20 seconds: "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone." I am only using Apple devices. How can I eliminate the warning?

Please help me eliminate this repeating warning message on my iPhone 5. It occurs several times a minute. I am only using Apple devices, so the warning is in error. "This cable or accessory is not certified and may not work reliably with this iPhone."

The cable may be damaged. Try another cable.
Make sure it properly connected at both ends.

HT2500 Can I access my e-mail from any terminal or only from an Apple device?

Can I access my e-mail (I-Cloud) from any terminal with access to the web or only from an Apple device?

Can I access my e-mail (I-Cloud) from any terminal with access to the web
Just log into icloud.com from any web browser and click on the Mail icon.
Any way to access with "WINOWS XP Pro" OS (on the same PC)?
There is no way to set up iCloud on an XP system to use services such as PhotoStream directly from the system, no. Vista, Win 7 or Win 8 only. All support for XP from Microsoft including security patches will be ceasing in the not too distant future, so it's probably time to consider upgrading.
Regards.

I have 3 Apple devices - I can send and receive mail on three of them, but am only receiving mail on two of them.

I Have three Apple devices, and although I can send mail on all three, I'm only receiving mail on two of them. Can anyone advise what's the problem?

HI Ralph. There's no message at all when I try to get mail. All was working fine until yesterday afternoon - then all mail received yesterday morning disappeared from the third device (iPad Mini), and now, when I try to get mail, it just reads "updated yesterday" in my Inbox, etc. Any ideas?

I have a friend who switched from iPhone to Samsung and I am only one that has to turn off iMessage to send a text! I have deleted her then readded and nothing seems to work and she has turned off iMessage on her other apple devices. Is there a solution!

I have completely deleted twice! Deleted from iCloud contacts and windows contacts! Nothing has changed! Thanks for your idea!

All (only) Apple devices dropping home wifi. What do I do?

All my Apple devices (2006 iMac, 2012 iMac, Apple TV and son's iPhone 4 - when he's over) dropping Wi-Fi. What gives? Window 7, Window 8, Android tablets, Android phone, HP network Printer and even blackberry playbook and phones have no issues. Only the Apple devices!! Yes we have a lot of devices here but never more than 4 are ever here so not all devices are working at the same time.
I'm at my wit's end. It first happened when I pulled out my (never had any issue with) 2006 iMac for my son to use while he's staying with us. As I was updating everything, it kept dropping off the network. Now, my 2012 iMac has started doing it too as well as my (3r gen) Apple TV. I can't even watch one TV show (42 minutes-'ish) without having to reset 4 or 5 times.
Why only Apple!!! I have my 3TB digital collection connected up to my iMac and often watch movies from (i.e.) the bedroom using a Win 7 Laptop hooked to a TV pulling the file from it. Never used to be an issue but now I can hardly ever connect to it because it dropped off the network.
Can anyone give me actual USEFUL information on how to fix this?

Oh.. and Drew... I have no idea what you're talking about. I have no clue as to how to "record" nor what "deauth" is :-( though, among the people I know, I am, at times, the most knowledgeable computer geek I know but I really only know very little. Sorry.
It's not the first time
Deauth packets are used to tell a device to 'get of the network'. They don't require an authenticated connection, so anyone with a wifi card can use them to spoil your day. There are Linux tools that have the ability to target Apple devices by MAC address. It's tough to test unless you can run an app to see if there are lots of deauths being sent to your devices (I haven't tried on OS X, hence my question to the other users). There should be a way to get better logging of wifi disconnects on OS X. This covers it iirc…
http://hak5.org/episodes/episode-706
Since Android is also disconnecting too it's probably something else. You'd need to check for overlapping channels from other networks & do all the regular wifi debugging. iStumbler can help you see other networks (& overlapping channels).
It appears the wireless diagnostics has the ability to help too, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned…
About Wireless Diagnostics
Read through that it should give you some tools to see what is happening.

Is an apple device the only device I can download music to?

Is an apple device the only device I can download music to?

Yes, you are right. iTunes only works with Apple Devices.

The one non-Apple device I want to hold on to is my Blackberry. Apologies - put it down to age. is it possible for me to sync Calendars? [what IS an Ical?] Contacts and Notes etc syncs easily - only Calendar problem. i do hv a Google calendar/account.

New to Mac (at 60+ years] and enjoying it. But one non-Apple device want to hold on to is Blackberry 9900. I can sync contacts, tasks - but NOT Calender. I get message telling me to set up an iCal. I have Google Calendar and happy to use that as 'hub' as it were, if that does job. Syncing my Air and smartphone is important - help please?

Another weird thing related to above question....when I first plugged in the itouch, it asked if I wanted to update the software and I did. Then it went into restore. Then the itouch itself went to a grey screen and asked me questions such as did I want to back up to icloud, use find my itouch, etc. plus it wanted my Apple sign in. I did all that. Once the itouch came on, I noticed that my daughter's music and photos were gone. So that was all good. But then at some point later when I was trying to figure out how to sync, I noticed another notice from Apple on my computer asking if I wanted to update. I assumed that was for my computer not the itouch this time. I did that. Then the itouch was back to the grey tones and the same sign in questions. Now my daughter's photos are back on it but not her music. When I click Sync, nothing happens as far as loading the music. Could this be that my music library is too big for the memory? Wouldn't it tell me that rather than just not do it? As you can see, I am very confused.
