Do I need to create a new account for my daughter's new iPod touch?

When she sends a text, it shows up as coming from my email account which is associated with my iTunes account.  Does she need her own iTunes account?

I've tried to do that but it won't let me delete my email address, and when I try to add hers I get "an error occurred while verifying your email".  I know that her address is correct so I don't understand what's going wrong.
Thanks for your help.

  • We have always used one iTunes account and I want to crate a new account for my daughter.  What is the best way to go about this and will she need to download free apps again?

    Not going to happen the way you want it to.
    When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
    Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

    To restore the classic menu bar, you can do any of these:
    orange Firefox button > Options > Menu Bar
    tap the Alt key > View > Toolbars > Menu Bar
    right-click a blank area of the tab bar or navigation bar > Menu Bar

  • I just opened a new account for my daughter with a different email than mine, but all of my music library is now showing in her music library as well. please help

    Hi, I just created a new account for my six year old daughter. The problem is that my entire music library is now in her music library as well. Please help

    Again many thanks. I have tried to tidy up the folders as per your idiot guide- which term is appropriate for me
    Under iTunes Media though I do not have  folders for Books,iPod Games, Mobile Applications, Movies, TV Shows so I only have  Auto Add to iTunes, Music, Downloads and Podcasts - My question here is is this OK.
    Next - Library files that you mention are there but do not end .itdb
    Next  - in the main iTunes folder followingon from Artwork and Media folders  there is some other  iTunes database stuff like Library Extras, Library Genius, Library and Music Library(xml) all dated 10/02/12 plus MimiPlayer .dll dated 21/02/14 and Set Up Short Cut dated22/03/14  
    AND there is also a Programme Files folder with a sub folder holding file folders called CD Configuration,iTunes Resources, iTunes Help Resources, iTunes Mini Player Resources and Mozilla Plugins all dated 24/03/14 ( when I downloaded the new iTunes) and then a lot of application extension stuff from 2011
    To recap I unistalled the old 32 bit iTunes and installed the new 11.1.5 (64 bit) version over the weekend  SO is any of the old stuff listed above required.
    Outcome right now is that as previously I can only call up the Downloaded music not Podcats or CD copies.

  • Created a user account for my daughter but itunes will not open, just says something about digital signature policy

    Hi there, newbie here. Wondered if anyone can help, opened another user account for daughter on windows 64, and when we tried to open itunes a message came up saying it could not open because of digital signature policy, when i go back to my user it opens ok.
    Could anyone help.
    Cheers

    am not prepared to enter my credit card also on her account application.
    You can enter it on the registration page then delete it immediately after you complete the registration.
    If I purchase a iTunes card with some credit, can I open the account for her just with the code?
    If you wish. Instead of going to Create new accout, go to Redeem on the main iTunes store screen, enter the code, then select *Create new account*.
    What will happen if the credit on the card gets to zero?
    She will not be able to make a purchase until another gift card is entered or a CC is linked to the account.

  • How do I burn a new CD for my car from my ipod touch.

    I lost my CD but my album is on my ipod touch.  How do I burn a new CD for my Car.  Yes I did purchase the original CD, but not on Amazon or the itunes store.

    You cannot from the ipod touch.
    As the music came form your computer in the first place, it should still be there (you should also always have a backup copy).

  • I need to create a user account for my wife that initially duplicates mine

    Thank you in advance for your thoughts and/or links.
    It is becoming more and more "the norm" for me to come upstairs to my MAC and find that my wonderful wife has five or more Safari windows open, three Word documents open, Mail up and running, etc...
    I certainly don't mind her using the computer, but I really like to come to my MAC with it having a nice clean desktop and ready for me to go at video editing etc.
    I have set her up a user account, but of course all our bookmarks, documents, etc. are under my username.
    Is there a script or an easy-to-follow step-by-step process to start her out with all the same Mail preferences, messages, Safari bookmarks, access to documents, etc.?
    I read one response about iTunes and iPhoto that I really liked - he/she set up a shared user (or something like that) and used it for every users iTunes & iPhoto library. I guess the same thing could be accomplished by sharing ones iTunes and iPhoto libraries...
    Anyway, you help/links would be appreciated.

    I can see how it'd be possible to copy of one user's info into another's folder by temporarily changing ownership permissions. This would get you to your "start her out with all the same...." point.
    itunes/iphoto libraries would be straightforward, as you've found - sharing documents too.
    It can be done - but if you'll forgive me - I'll wait a day or so in case someone posts an easy- no playing with permissions-solution that saves you a lot of hassle.
    Another option is to set up a "video editing" user that you use when you want a clear desktop/no other programs loaded etc environment. You can enable fast user switching in sys prefs-accounts - so it's really no bother to change quickly; & have your various video stuff easily accessible to you - yet switch back almost instantly to a normal account with mail/safari etc all running. This may be a better idea if your editing needs loads of memory & pushes the processor to near it's limit.

  • I have an apple ID for myself (for my iPhone), and a different apple ID for my daughter (and her iPod Touch).  I think her ipod was set up on a different computer, but I need to be able to update my phone, and her ipod to the same computer.

    The problem seems to be that I keep getting an error when trying to update her library.  I keeps telling me that she is set up on a different library, but I can`t figure out how to switch libraries.
    This is getting quite frustrating, and I would appreciate help in figuring this out.
    Thanks!!

    You could have multiple libraries on one computer and then hold the Shift key down when startng iTunes to choose which library to use.
    Or you can have everything in one Library with organized media and apps using multiple Apple IDs.
    Which would you choose?

  • I know my Apple Id (not .mac) and password but I can't logon to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?

    I know my Apple Id (it isn't ".mac") and password but I can't log on to ichat.  I keep getting a message of password not matched.  I saw somewhere that my Apple id is the same as my ichat account.  Do I need to create a new account for Ichat?  I've already reset my Apple id password 3 times in the last 2 days.  What am I doing wrong?

    Hi,
    At one time only Email IDs from Apple (when it was just @Mac.com) were referred to as "Apple IDs"
    Other IDs such as to log in to Discussions were know as Discussion IDs
    Things like the Online Store and iTunes and Apple realising that people would prefer one ID to have access to Everything tended to move things together.
    There can be a variety of combos now
    iChat Name
    @mac.com before MobileMe
    @mac.com post MobileMe
    AIM Names
    AIM names current
    MobileMe (@Me.com)
    Style
    Email Address valid with the .Mac service prior MobileMe Note 1
    Email style Name Valid with AIM
    May or may not be an Email address
    Can be AIM issued or third party Email address
    Valid Email with MobileMe Service
    Other Abilities
    May also be Currently valid email linked to a MobileMe account
    Maybe Valid Apple ID
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May Not be a Valid Apple ID (was an option choice at one stage)
    Is a Valid AIM Screen Name
    May not look like an Email (No @whatever.com) but may be linked to either an AOL email account or AIM one
    Current Registration seems to be pushing Email registration (@AIM.com)or asking to use another you currently use.
    Trial Accounts are limited to the Trial Period Only as Emails, Valid AIM Screen Names and Apple IDs.
    Apple ID
    Possibly (likely)
    Possibly (depends when Registered)
    More currently Yes.

  • Need to add a new ipod touch to itunes but want to create entire new account ... how do i create a new account for itunes in another person's name and link the libraries?

    I have 4 devices ... currently 3 of the are all attached to my personal itunes/email account.  Just got another device - ipod touch 5 - that is my son's and I want for him to have his own account so that we are no longer sharing text messages, contacts, etc.
    I want to create a new itunes account for me but still be able to share my music library with him.  How do I do this?  appreciate the help.

  • I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    I have created separate user accounts for my 2 boys on my macbook. How do i get my itunes library onto their new ipods?

    They can't.  Which came first - the chicken or the egg?  Actually, that's a bad comparison but a sync must come first.
    The library is actually part of iTunes and it contains everything.  iTunes is then configured so that you (or they) determine which portion of everything will be synced to each iPod (identified by a unique name, see below for an example of an iPod and an iPad).  iTunes can't make that decision until AFTER it knows which iPods exist.
    By the way, I (you, they) can very easily change the name of each device to whatever I (you, they) wish to call it.

  • Why if I have created a seperate icloud account for my daughter and I, do I still end up with all her contacts?  Also, numbers i have edited or changed?deleted pop up when searching by name to create a new message, WHY?

    Help!  I have created seperate icloud accounts for my kids devices and mine.  My daughters contacts and mine keep merging anyways.  If I turn contacts off and then back on on my phone in icloud, I get duplicates.  Now I have triplicates!!  I've double chcked that we are both logged in to our own accounts.  How do I stop this, its gonna be a lot of editing out duplicate/triplicate contacts in my list.  NOT HAPPY!!  Another problem....When I go to create a new message and search by name, all numbers, including those I have changed because the person got a new number, will show up.  Why is that happenning if I have deleted or changed them?  I end up not knowing what number to use.  It's extremely frustrating!!

    When you turn contacts to off in Settings>iCloud, you should be choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted, as they will be synced back to your phone when your turn contacts back to on.  If you are choosing Keep on My iPhone, turning contacts back to on in Settings>iCloud, then choosing Merge when prompted, you are merging a second (or third) copy of your contacts with your account each time you do.
    The autocomplete suggestions you get when you create a new message, compose a text message, or perform a spotlight search, are stored in cache memory.  Once in cache memory, it remains on the device even if the corresponding contact is later deleted.  Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to flush this cashe is to restore your device as a new iPhone without using your backup.  Perhaps this will change in a future iOS release.
