How do i create an account and start using it

If I have a user name which is different from my e-mail name, do I set up a new account to start using the ipod touch

Huh?
That make no sense. Please explain.
What is a "main account"?
What exactly do you want to accomplish?

HT4759 How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

How can i delete an old iCloud account and start using my own using my Apple ID? If I don't have the old password??

If your device is signed into an old iCloud ID that is an earlier version of the ID you want to sign in with, do the following:
If you are using iMessage and FaceTime, make sure you are signed into these services with your current ID. If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
Then temporarily recreate the 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. (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.) Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iDevice and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID). Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library). When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out (or Delete Account if you are not running iOS 8) 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 back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your device).

My password keeps getting hacked, how can i disable my account and start a new one and not lose all the stuff I already have?

Hi All,
I need help, my password keeps getting hacked, and I keep changing the password, and changing all my security questions. I have changed everything I can. How can I disable my account, but not lose everything that I already have in there? Is this possible or do I have to start all over again?

You might have some better luck if you call your country number from http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57 and ask to speak with the Account Security Team.

HT204053 I no longer have the e-mail address associated with the apple ID for iCloud. The password I have written for that account is deemed wrong, as is the security information (i.e. my birthdate). How do I eliminate this incorrect account and start a

I no longer have the e-mail address associated with an Apple ID. I do not know the password for that account, nor are the security questions correct (e.g. it asked my birth date, but, when I listed it, I was told it was not correct). I have no way to get into the program, to correct an information. How do I delete this account and start anew?

If you still have access to your old email address, go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email account and verify it. 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 iPhone on your device. Then 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. You can now go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your correct iCloud ID and password.
If you don't have access to your old email address, you will have to contact Apple to have them reset the password so you can disable Find My iPhone and sign into your iCloud account. You can either go to https://expresslane.apple.com, select "More Products and Services", then "Apple ID", then on the next page select "Other Apple ID Topics", then "Lost or forgotten Apple ID password" and click "Continue"; or you can contact Apple Support (http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact/).

iTunes accounts are not located on your computer. They are simply tied to a specific AppleID. Just log in to iTunes with the correct AppleID and Password and you will be back in that account.

How do I create a signature,and then add it to an e ailed document?

How can I create a signature and then use it to sign a document in e mail?

Not sure I understand the question correctly.
Open Mail and click on Preferences under the Mail menu. Click on the Signatures icon in the toolbar. You can set up your signatures there.
But if you are talking about adding a written signature, then you cannot do that within Mail. You would need to scan in an image of your written signature then manually add it to a signature you create in mail as a graphic image. That seems to work.

I want to create an Itunes store account but I can't because it asks me the number of my credit card and I don't have one. I saw already people who created accounts without a credit card, how can I create an account without a credit card ?

if anyone can help me, please help...

Thanks SniperKat but I don't know why for some reason the "NONE" disappeared...
I started to create an account and when I saw the credit card thing I just clicked back and back and so I closed the browser... every free app or something free I get it appears a window : " You have to review some of your information about your account" .... but I don't have an account yet because I didn't create it.... the only solution is to create a new e-mail account and go to iTunes store and create a new account with the new e-mail and be very carefull with the "Free app" this time...

Wife and I share itunes account. How do we save her info and start her own account?

When we first got our iphones, we were told at apple store we could use the same itunes account. We still do. Now with 2 iphones, 2 laptops, ipads, etc. it is a mess with facetime and sharing apps.
How do I save her information and start a new account for her?
Thanks

Your best bet would be to set up a separate Apple ID for her to use with iCloud, Messages, and FaceTime, but continue to use the same iTunes account for purchases (click on the second box "Use one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases" to go directly to the section which outlines how to do this). The reason you would want to continue to use the current ID for iTunes is because all of the purchases made under that ID will be forever tied to that ID - purchases cannot be transferred to another ID:

My husband plugged my iPhone into his computer, created an account and now when I want to add apps it asks for his password not mine. How do I get my account back? Tried plugging it into his computer again. No prompt to change account back to mine.

Hi Trishw,
At the top of the iTunes Store window, you will see who is logged into iTunes. I'm guessing from your description, that it is your husband. If it is, click on the name to display the dropdown, log him out and sign yourself back in:\

How can I create multiple accounts without the necessity to create multiple email addresses? I now have 2 i-phones (mine and my wife's), 1 i-pad (mine), 1 i-pad mini (10 year old's), and 1 I-pod touch (11 year old's). I would like to maintain purchase control, but would like to be able to have a separate account ID for each person. Is that possible?

Each email address can only be on one iTunes account, and all purchases are tied to the account that buys them. If you want to have separate iTunes accounts on each then you will need separate email accounts for each iTunes account

Can I transfer money to other accounts on my iPad with iOS 5.1.1? I created another account and put an iTunes gift card on it, but then I realized that all of my apps are on another account, so how do I move that money over?

Can I transfer money to other accounts on my iPad with iOS 5.1.1? I created another account and put an iTunes gift card on it, but then I realized that all of my apps ere on another account, so when I recovered the password of my previous account, I had money on an account that I do not want to use. Can I transfer the money over?

Not on your own. Click here and ask the iTunes Store staff to put it back onto the card; they'll only do this if none of the balance has been spent.

Just created a Firefox support account using my e-mail address as the username. Did not know that this would show up when I asked questions. Can I change my username? If not can I delete my account and start again.

Basically, without thinking, I used my e-mail address as my username, and I don't want to get spammed because of my thoughtlessness. Anyway, I'd like to change my username. I picked a display name "TonyG" and thought only that would display, but both my username and my display name show when I post. If I cannot change my username, I would like to start over by deleting this account and starting a new account. Any advice out there? Many thanks, in advance.

Since you have used your old Display name, it'll always show your email address in the forum for this question. When you post another question in the future, it should show your Display name instead.
As I said, User Name is to be used to log into your forum account, the Display Name is what it'll be shown when you post in this forum. You can try to post a test in the forum to see if your Display Name is being shown or not.

How do i create space in my start up disk on mac book pro?

how do i create space in my start up disk on mac book

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Hi iCloud is Making Me Go Crazy,
You will need to create a new Apple ID for your GameCenter and iCloud services. You can continue to use the current Apple ID you share with your Mom for access to iTunes Store purchases if you wish.
