How can this possibly happen?

I just purchased the new ipod touch for my girlfriend. We both spent about 45 minutes setting up her account in icloud, getting her an apple ID etc. Registering the ipod, upgrading. We had to key in all the security questions, etc...In other words the ipod is totally registered under her name and password.
OK, so now we decided we wanted to get some of my music that is on my Windows 7 computer in my itunes library (I like itunes) and put them on her ipod. We connected the two and as it was supposed to it recognized her ipod. I also have an ipod and an ipad but the computer clearly was synchronizing with HER ipod.
Sure enough, the songs transferred over ok. But, later on when she tried to access the Application store it asked for MY PASSWORD because we could see on the screen that it was showing MY Apple ID and not hers. How could this happen? We had to go through about five levels of security to even set her ipod up.
I then tried putting in my password, since that is what it was asking for. It didn't work. Not we have a situation where I can't get in for her nor can she get in. This is a brand new ipod, bought yesterday.
AND WHAT IS EVEN CRAZIER - now ON HER IPOD are copies of MY MUSIC that I purchased in the itunes store AND WE DID NOT SYNC WITH. How did those songs get there? AND, we can't get them off.
I tried re-synching the ipod with the computer and they DO NOT SHOW the songs on her ipod. BUT, they are clearly there as you can see them in the music library.
What the devil is going on here? What use is all this security crap when in the end we have one **** of a mess here. It's like the two ipods are connected but she can't even get into her own applications or rather the itunes store.
Will Apple Support have to be called here? This 'set up' procedure for a first time apple user is one of the worst that I have ever seen.
How do I fix this????

M-m-m-m-m....Your idea of completey re-setting up her ipod again makes sense. But I know that when we connected her ipod to my Windows 7 computer it 'recognized HER Ipod (not mine). We did not 'restore it' because there was nothing to restore. It was brand new out of the box and had NO music on it. That is why we synched the two in order for her to get music THAT WE HAD DELIBERATELY SELECTED. BUT, somehow it also took all of the personal music that I had bought from the itunes store. Why would the software go to the troubel of asking you WHAT you wanted to synchronize and then COMPLETELY ON ITS OWN download stuff she DIDN'T want.
I can't 'fix it' right now because she is on vacation with the ipod + the music on it that she didn't want.

  • I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. Can this possibly happen ??? What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

    Hello All, yesterday afternoon I just lost all recent updates to my iCal from the last days. How can this possibly happen ??? It may have occured after I chose the Refresh function after I had problems searching my iCal for a particular event. I think my iPhone was also not properly synched in the morning but I didn't pay it much attention and opened iCal on my MacBookAir instead.
    How can I prevent this from happening again?
    What can I do to restore iCal with the most recent updates?

    Random glitch.  It doesn't matter; if you didn't backup the data, then you can't recover the data.
    In the future, for any 'important' data, back up that data regularly.  Forward the 'important' text messages to your email.  Trasnfer your photos & videos to your computer, etcetera.

  • My iPhone has a protective cover on it and I carry it in my pocket a lot.  Quite often when I take it out of my pocket the silent/ring switch is off and I am sure it was on when I put the phone in my pocket.  How can this be happening?

    Protective cover as in screen protector?  This would have nothing to do with the silent switch.
    If you're referring to an actual case though... take the case off and see if the problem continues.
    It may be as simple as the silent switch being lose, which will require a device replacement to resolve.

  • HT201628 My girlfriend accidentally rebooted her iPod during an update, and now it won't boot. How can this possibly be fixed?? She says the OS has been wiped. You know how to fix this??

    My girlfriend believes she's wiped out the OS on her iPod 4th generation  she said she did this by accidentally rebooting her iPod during an update, and now her iPod just shows the apple logo then fades to white. My question is, can this be fixed? Or is a new iPod necessary??

    If you live near an Apple store take it in for diagnosis. Don't forget to make an appointment online first. If you don't live near a store, you may get help by searching "youtube" for DFU Restore ipod. This is not difficult to do but it requires proper timing to get the device into DFU mode.

    If you just installed iCloud does that mean you updated the iOS that's running on your iPad?  If so, you'll want to restore all the programs you have from the backup you hopefully made.
    Refer to these articles for help.

    If you don't want to use iCloud, simply don't activate it.
    You can also download the programs again.
    If you live in a country that supports re-downloading apps then you can re-download them.  You can refer to this article for more help.

    I assume you are including the STIX font as part of your epub files?     
    Perhaps the folks who do this blog might be able to help -- they have done some work with font embedding:

    A guess: your friend was standing beside you when this was demonstrated. There are several apps available (all described as "entertainment"). The app was simply showing where your friends iphone was, i.e. Right where you were.  Your position cannot be tracked. The apps are meant for joking.

  • After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message.  This didn't used to happen.  How can this be corrected?

    After ejecting a disk plugged into the USB port using Finder, I am now getting "The disk was not properly ejected" message.  This didn't used to happen.  How can this be corrected?

    When you right (control) click on the disk and click eject "disk name", do you pull it immeadiatly or wait a few seconds for it to unmount? Try waiting and see if you get the same message. If you do, when the disk is connected go to applications/utilities/disk utility, after opening DU, select the volume in question from the left side bar and try a permissions repair, you may also run verify disk and see if it comes up with any errors (they will be in red)

  • Since converting my mobileme account into an icloud account, my free 5GB of storage has become a paid for extra 20GB without my requesting it. How can this happen, and has anyone else had this happen to them?

    Since converting my mobileme account into an icloud account, my free 5GB of storage has become a paid for extra 20GB without my requesting it. How can this happen, and has anyone else had this happen to them?

    To clarify: you are not being charged for the extra storage - it's complimentary to reflect the fact that you had storage in MobileMe. At the end of June it will disappear unless you care to pay to renew it.

  • Corrupt Time Portion of a DATE column - how can this happen?

    DUMP(START_TIME)
    gives
    'Typ=12 Len=7: 100,99,255,255,0,0,0'
    How can this happen? Is there any way to prevent the database from allowing invalid dates to be inserted.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cade

    That's part of the problem. We don't have direct access to the database. I don't know what the equivalent of SQL Server's Query Analyzer or SSMS in Oracle. I'm more of a 'NET and SQL Server developer.
    What the group I am helping does is extract the data (from a system they don't control) using Focus. They send a SQL statement and then Focus retrieves the rowset and does what Focus calls a TABLE FILE operation to put it in a Focus file. Because the Focus rowset typing appears to be based on what datatypes Oracle represents the columns as having, Focus then attempts to interpret the date and time as valid. But apparently they are so messed up that Focus actually halts/crashes.
    So every morning, they notify the group responsible for the Oracle system to "fix" the records that are bad. They apparently do this by copying the END_TIME to the START_TIME, hopefully with a simple UPDATE query, but perhaps manually with some other tool.
    I'm also not a Focus expert, but in experimenting with sending different SQL statements (like using to_char() to identify the bad data) we did eventually find out how to identify these records using DUMP. What I helped the MIS group here do was to change their SQL query to be:
    SELECT CASE WHEN DUMP(START_TIME) = 'Typ=12 Len=7: 100,99,255,255,0,0,0' THEN END_TIME ELSE START_TIME END AS START_TIME
    FROM etc.

  • When importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed?

    when importing tunes from cd disc, songs from 1 albumn all appear as a differnet albumn, only happens from compilations, how can this be fixed? I am using PC with windows 7.
    Thanks.

    Generally all you need to do is fill in an appropriate Album Artist, though for compilations you should also set the part of a compilation flag to yes. For more details see my article on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.

  • Help please - An email address that I rarely used several years ago got reset to someone else's apple ID in place of the email account they used to create their account. How can this happen?

    A friend accused me of switching an email account that I used several years ago to send them photos on Flikr (gmail) for their Apple ID - in other words of.messing with their account. I only used the gmail account to post / send them and several other people photos on a few occasions and have not used the account since. I forgot that I had it. When this friend couldn't access their iTunes account the store discovered that the email had been reset to my very old gmail address. How is this possible? Now, they are accusing me of hacking in although no purchases were made and nothing was done with the account. Still, my reputation is at stake. Could they have done it in error? It looks bad for me. Help please.

    I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
    In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
    1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
    and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
    1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
    and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
    there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity.  If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.
