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

Does Apple still repair your ipod touch even if you didn't buy it from them???
Yes, but they don't repair it, they exchange it with a service replacement unit. Hope it is backed up.

How do I get all the songs from an album to show in the album view? Currently, if an album lists the artist plus a guest artist, those are shown separately and appear to be two different albums on my iPod. How do I get all the songs on that album together on my iPod? If the album is a collaboration wtih many artists, each sond may appear as a separate album.
I used to have this problem.
First, you need to go back on iTunes
you need to go to each of the songs that are having this problem
Click the album so all the songs drop down
Right click the songs that have this problem
Click ' Get info '
Click the tab that says " info '
The box that says ' album artist ' should probably be empty (correct me if I'm wrong)
Click it and type the artist of the entire album, NOT the songs guest artist
as such,
ARTIST
JAY-Z Feat. Justin Timberlake
ALBUM ARTIST
JAY-Z
These should be separate for each artist
If you write the same album artists for each song by that artist, all the songs should be on 1 album -
HT4623 i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do you update it??
i think i got the 1st or 2nd gen ipod touch how do i update it?
To update
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes
iTunes 10 for Windows: Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
A 1G iPod can go to iOS 3.1.3
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. That requires a Mac with OSX 10.5.8 or later. With 1OSX 10.4.11 you can only go to iTunes 9.X which gets you as high as iOS 4.1

lost passcode for ipod touch, how do i retieve it
Unfortunatly, you are going to have to restore you ipod, which means that you will lose you data. If you have songs/videos that are not on your computer's iTunes, then you can use a third party program to do that such as 4Media Ipod to PC Transfer, etc.
To restore the lock code follow these directions:
STEP 1. First you have to open iTunes and then sign in. Using the connector cord you have to plug the iPod touch into the computer.
STEP 2. Now you have to allow iTunes to sync with the iPod touch automatically.
STEP 3. Now you have to hold down both Menu and Power butons for ten seconds. Then you will be able to see a symbol of a disc and a cable on the screen of your iPod touch. It shows that it is in restore mode.
STEP 4. Now you have to release both the buttons. Now you will be able to see a “Restore” button. Simply click on it.
STEP 5. Now you have to wait for sometime until restore process is complete.
STEP 6. From your iTunes backup simply copy your files back onto your iPod touch.
STEP 7. From the screen of your iPod touch simply tap on “Settings”. Now select “General” and then click on “Passcode Lock.”.
Now simply type in your new password code. Using this password code again you can lock your iPod touch. In this way you can reset an iPod touch password code. -
does anyone have a good way to do this?
I have the same question. My son and daughter both received iPod Touch devices. I did not want to create a new Apple Id for each of them, I want to manage any application aquisitions and do not to have repurchase numerous apps I bought over last year on my iPhone for the kids to play with. Bottom line, is it impossible for for my kids to have these devices with the same Apple ID as my iPhone/iTunes account?

I have put in the wrong apple id, how do i change this?
Go to Settings/Store/Apple ID on your iPod, log out of the account, restart the iPod and log in again with the correct account info.

HT1727 If you buy something from an Ipod touch how can you get it on your computer?
I bought a song on my ipod touch because It obviously has internet and I thought it wouldn't be a problem. I was able to download the song and listen to it on that ipod touch without any issues, however, I would like to be able to burn it to a cd, listen to it on my computer or otherwise be able to use it besides just on that ipod and I am unable to. Is there any way to do this? I thought there was since I have 2 other computers registered under this Apple ID...
I have even tried using outside software (Pod Revolution) which has worked in the past to back up music but it doesn't work this time because the song does not even show up on the device when I plug it in and open pod Revolution. I do not know why this one particular song is being so difficult, if anyone can help me please let me know.
Also this is an older ipod (3rd gen) that is actually one that was my boyfriends and he gave it to me. I am not able to do the latest update IOS 6 because it is an older ipod, I'm not sure if this would have anything to do with itYou should be able to copy it over to your computer's iTunes by connecting the iPod to it and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases.
Or, and depending upon what country that you are in, you might be able to redownload it directly on your computer's iTunes via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage -

The iPod Updater is available under Start-->All Programs-->iPod-->iPod Updater 2006-06-28-->iPod Updater 2006-06-28

HT201303 I own two apple ids with 2 different devices how can I switch IDs on a device?
I have an IPhone 5 and just got an IPad. I set up a new Apple ID for IPad but can not download my apps from IPhone how can I switch on my IPad to apps I had purchased on my IPhone. I want to play my games on larger screen.
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.
