Giving my iPod touch to family member

I have a 3rd generation ipod touch that I no longer use. I want to erase my personal info, etc. off of it so when I send it to my family they can start it up on their itunes and computer and use it.
Some people say to reset others say reset to faculty conditions. Can I do it by just using the ipod itself / settings / reset to facutly condition?

Can I buy laptop with free ipod touch for family member in school?

I bought a macbook pro for my sister-in-law who is in college on the online store using the education discount. We figured she'd take the ipod touch as well. After purchasing, I noticed that only Parents are eligible for the discount. How is this going to work? They didn't require the proof of eligibility at checkout online (which surprised me). Are they going to stiff me on the rebate for the ipod touch?

I don't know about "stiffing you" since you weren't officially eligible to purchase at the HED discount for your sister-in-law (the fact that they didn't ask for proof of eligibility doesn't waive the eligibility requirements; those are stated several places). Your sister-in-law should have purchased the Mac herself. So if Apple doesn't allow the rebate claim, that's as per their rules. But you can submit the claim:
http://www.apple.com/promo/
and see what happens. If they deny the claim, then you'll have to accept the decision.
Good luck.

I have an iPhone 4 and an iPod 4th gen linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to set up a new email address for the iPod so a family member can use it but it doesn't want to recognize the new email account. Where am I going wrong?

I have an iPhone 4 and a 4th gen iPod linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to change the email address on the iPod so a family member can use it but when I do it says it doesn't recognize the email address. Where am I going wrong ? I just want them to be able to iMessage and email without having to use my email address.

The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

Giving a phone to another family member who is also a verizon customer

When you give a family member your old phone and they activate it under their number does it it wipe out all your contact info, photos, and messages?

However, if it's a Motorola Droid type phone, usually- yes. Most Motorola smartphones will wipe out everything.

HT1459 Registering an iPod touch on family computer

We purchased an iPod touch for our daughter. Tried to register it, but when plugged in on her user account it still comes up as "our" iPod (name) - we want to register it under HER name. Anyone know how to correct this?

iTunes places the backup file here:
Where iTunes backups are stored on your computer
The folder where your backup data are stored varies depending on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your periodic data-backup routine.
iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Note: To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press theReturn key.
Yes, if something happens to the iPod, you can restore the iPod from backup.
You can copy the iTunes library as a backup by:
iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
You can also save the iPod backup there incase there is a problem with the computer.
Using the information in my first reply you can backup to you computer and transfer iTunes purchases to your computer as wll as to hers. You do not need iCloud.
If you have non-iTunes music on the iPod you will need a third-party program to transfer/copy them to a computer. Some are discussed here:
newer copy

Giving a ps4 to a family member

I am going to have 2 ps4 when my secondary one comes back from repair (PSU issue) and i want to give it to mt sister for her kids . Is there anything i have to do before setting it up for her since they would want there own PSN user name etc and register the console as there primary console . Many thanks

no. Reading between the lines you are essentially asking about game sharing I think. Assuming it is the games that are your account you wish your sister and her children to have access to then they'll need to have your account on their PS4 set up as your primary account. Meaning your PS4 would be a secondary account. Meaning on your PS4 only you could access your games. Plus should suffer any connection issues with PSN your PS4 won't be able to verify licences; so for the time you are not connected to the PSN you would lose access to your digital content.

Giving my old MBP to family member. What do I do?

I replaced my 2008 MacBook Pro with a used 2011 Air earlier this year, so I don’t need my old MBP anymore. I also have a Mac Mini running SL where I have all the programs I need too. I have backed up everything I wanted to keep from my old MBP to an external HD.
I want to give my old MBP to my son-in-law who’s old PC bit the dust about 6 months ago. My daughter has an ’09 MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard, and he knows how to use hers, since he's been borrowing it when he can. However, they can’t share her's anymore because she has to take it to college with her starting next month (she's starting med school), while he continues to job hunt.
I’m not sure if I can erase all my data, but leave the apps, such as MS Office for Mac 2004, iWork ’09 and iLife on it. I have all the discs, except for MS Office. If I loose MS Office, I'm sure he can get it a newer version eventually, should he need to, but would like to try and save the old one, if possible, but it isn't critical. He can also add whatever other apps as he wants to or can afford to.
So, should I do a complete erase and install from the Snow Leopard Install DVD or do I need to got back to my original MBP install disk and work back up through the vairous discs?
If I have to go back to the original OS X install disc, do I just install it and then reboot or what?

If you haven't done it yet, just do this:
1. Create a new Account for your son-in-law and be sure he has Admin rights.
2. Restart and log in as him
3. Delete your account and choose the option to delete the home directory as well.
With that, all apps will remain on your computer, but all personal information and libraries will be gone.

Giving 3g to family member

Hello,
Im giving my 3g to a family member but I still want to get rid of all the data that is on it. What do I need to do? Do I return it to factory settings or just erase all settings? Will that get rid of my data? I didnt see a return to factory settings, if there is one and I do that, Will she be able to download OS4? Also, I cant download OS4 and stick it on her phone for her correct? She has to do that through her Itunes?

Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. EVERYTHING will be erased and reset. She will be able to download OS4. Any computer with iTunes can download the OS update when it is released, though I would recommend doing it on her computer with her iTunes so that it does not sync with any other iTunes library.

I have a refurbished ipod touch 4th Gen. I am having problems backing up because the cloud is almost full. I have tried to delete some apps/pics but it won't let me. Do I need to purchase more storage? Also, I accidentally erased all stored music. It is still on my personal computer and I need to know how to get it back on my ipod. A family member set it up for me.

You said " I accidentally erased all stored music.".
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Your iCloud backup does not include non-iTunes purchases like music from CDs
If on your iPod now:
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
You can go to Setting>iCloud>Manage Storage and see what is using the store and delete items from iCloud

How do I delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch?

I'm giving my iPod touch to my grandson and want to delete all my contacts from my iPod Touch. These have been synched from Mobile Me (.Mac). I've unchecked the synch contact box in the setting section of iTunes, but the contacts do not get deleted. (Also, I want to be careful not to accidentally delete them from my .Mac contact list in the process.) I successfully removed my music and photos in this manner, but the contacts are not being deleted. Advice would be appreciated.

Connect the Touch to iTunes and click the Restore button. After the Touch is erased and the OS is re-loaded, you'll have the option to load your last backup or set it up as a new iPod (which is what you want).
Alternatively, you can simply use the built-in utility. On the Touch go to Settings/Reset/Erase All Content and Settings. That may actually take longer than Restoring though.

Giving old iPod to somebody else

I am giving my iPod touch to one of my kids. How do I change the device from showing my name to my child's when I sync it to a computer?

When you plug your iPod in, you should get to your main screen where it says you can register your iPod, or shows how much space is remaining on it. (There are different tabs on the top of page) Once there, you should be able to change your name by editing your information. Or, if that isn't working out for you, you can go to the left where it has your playlists, or music, just click on where it says your name, and you should be able to just fill it in! Good luck!

I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the warrenty cover it?

If you are in the US you can see if there is a genius bar by going to http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar and then click on Make a Reservation at the top and you can search state, city and see how far they are from you.

My ipod touch was taken by a family member along with the box containing serial number. Any way of tracking it ?

My daughter's Ipod touch was taken by a family member...anyway of telling whether or not it was connected to a copmuter and re assigned under another name...Ipod was originally registered under my name.

Sorry but no, there is not.

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting an iphone 5c. Want to transfer data to new phone. Currently all our family devices on one apple ID for purchases and it is the same for icloud. I want to create a new one for icloud for this iphone. What do I do?

Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?

Figured it out. Thanks.
