How can I register an iPod to my account that is currently registered to another one?

I bought an iPod Classic, 1.3 version, from a friend and it is registered under another account. I can't get in touch with this person to get the account password so I can sync my iPod to my account. I want to re-register the iPod under my account. It doesn't matter if all the music is lost in the proccess. Does anyone know how I can do this?

You don't HAVE to register the iPod with your account, but here is the link to register the product with Apple under your info.

Simply connect the iPod to your PC and restore it via iTunes. This will associate the iPod with your iTunes library and content.

How do i transfer my ipod from a computer that has crashed to a new one?

how do I transfer my ipod data from one computer to another

You just need to home share between both computers. Then select all the songs and click import on to the new computer. If you have a playlist, then you will need to either recreate the playlist on to the new computer or you can copy the itunes library.itl, the .itl file might have a different name but that is the file that has all of your library playlists. I am not sure if this will fix your problem but that is what I did and it worked for me hope that helps.

How can I delete old (non-active) email accounts that don't show in the Accounts Preferences pane?

Since I (reluctantly) abandoned MobileMe and switched to iCloud, when I use Mail Connection Doctor because a problem is indicated with one or more of my email acocunts, it shows both iCloud IMAP and Me.com SMTP accounts. The iCloud account is fine but the SMTP acount has a red button against it.
So Connection Doctor shows the old SMTP account always failing to connect (of course - as it's been abandoned). However, this account does not show up in the Accounts Preferences pane so I am not able to delete it. This also happens with another account which I deleted in the Preferences pane some time ago.
How can I stop these phantom accounts appearing in Connection Doctor? It's very irritating to constantly have faults indicated which apply to abandoned accounts.
Thanks people!

Go to your iCloud account in Preferences>Accounts. Set the 'Outgoing mail server (SMTP)' drop-down menu to 'Edit SMTP server list'. Then:
Set the server name as shown here. Then click the Advanced tab and check the settings.
If you are still having problems, you could start the setup again from scratch. Assuming that your signature is correct and you are running Leopard, delete any iCloud or MobileMe accounts in the list and then follow the instructions here:
Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard

How can I re-link firefox to sync account if I haven't paired another device yet?

I synced the pc to the firefox server but before I pair another device I had to reinstall firefox with a clean installation. How can I connect to the account that I've created for the synchronization without having any other device to give me codes?
Thanks

That "key" is in Firefox on devices linked with that Sync account. Since you only had one device setup, and have completely removed Firefox from that device your Sync key is gone. Without that key your data is useless, it is the encryption algorithm for your data while that data is off your devices.

How can I change my Apple ID/Cloud account that has an email that no longer exists?, How can I change my Apple ID/Cloud account that has an email that no longer exists?

So I got a new email address, and afterwards I set up my new Apple ID for my iPad and Macbook. However, on my iPhone 4s, the account still is tied to the old email and I cannot verify my account of switch it over because it will not log into my old Apple ID. I do not want to delete the cloud account on my iphone because it warns that a lot of info will be deleted. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. (You will get an option to keep the data on your device when you delete the account.)
When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

How can I turn my ipod on remotely so that I can use the Find my Iphone app (sound mode) to find it

I have a ipod 5 gen and I lost it somewhere around the house. I've used the Find My Iphone app, but it indicates that its offline. So I'm guessing it ran out of battey or its turned off. That's why I am asking if theres anyway that I could turn my ipod back on in order for the sound to be played from FMI app. Thanks alot for any future help.

You can't, When off it is dead
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
iCloud: Find My iPhone
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

HT1420 How can I deauthorise an ipod from a computer that I no longer have?

I have bought my 3 kids ipod touches for christmas about 5 years ago and they lost them. So i went to Apple and had them replaced and now I can not authorize the new ones because of the old ones.

Authorization and Deauthorization
Macs: iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.
More On De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
1. Open iTunes on a computer
2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
You may only do this once per year.
After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

How can I attach an iPod to my account?

I have a new iPod that used to belong to my grandma that I want to attach to this computer. Plus, it won't let me update the software on it (the iPod) to OS 5.0 or anything higher than 2.2.1.

- You want to erase and sync since transfer of the contents on the iPod did not transfer with the hardware.
- Identify yur iPod here:
Identifying iPod models
- By you having iOS 2.1.2 I suspect you have a first generation iPod. That can only go to iOS 3.1.3 and you get that paid update here:

How can i use an ipod on my itunes that is not connected to my itunes without deleting the song already on it

it is an ipod a friend gave me because i lost mine but i want to keep some songs that are already on the ipod and i also want to delete songs off

Well, the best way is to restore the backup that you made before you reformatted the Windows machine.
Barring that, open iTunes, go to Preferences, Devices, and check the box to disable automatic sync. Then connect the phone to your computer, and go to the File menu, Devices/Transfer Purchases. This should copy all of the iTunes content on your phone to your computer.

How can I delete purchases from my itunes account that I DID NOT PURCHASE I have tried everything for a VERY LONG TIME please please help

I have had an iTunes account for 3 years. I have tried for at least two years to delete these purchases that I did not purchase off my iTunes downloads. I have tried everything. I took iTunes off my computer, redownloaded . I have tried deleting and removing them. I do not know how they got there but everytime I go to download anything these 8 purchases start to download. I then have to pause them all and back to the agganizing termoil of trying to delete them off my account. Can you please please help meI am beyond aggrevated because nothing I do deletes these things off, and I have tried for two years with no results but more aggrivation.

I would contact Apple Support either on the phone or via e-mail and have them check if they could remove these questionable purchases off your account.
There is currently no way to do this on your own.
And re-installing iTunes does not help as all the purchase info is stored on Apple's servers.

How can I deauthorize a computer from an account that isn't mine?

One of my sister's ex-friends authorized my family's computer and I need to deauthorize it.I have no clue how to and my sister's old friend isn't allowed over to our house anymore.Can you tell me how to deauthorize it?

Hello pooh122159
You can do a Deauthorize all to remove all authorizations without having to download iTunes on the computer. Go to the iTunes Store on a computer and sign in to view your account. Once there you will see a section about authorizations and how many are there. Then you can Deauthorize all and all you would have to do after that is authorize the computers that they want.
