How do i set up facetime and the messaging app on my daughters ipod touch? she is 9 and can not have an apple i.d. for purchases etc. i only want to message her from my i phone!
What i need the answer to is how to get an apple i.d.for my daughter without an email address or anything else, as she is only 9 and does not need, nor can she legally have, an i tunes account. I have got face time working but have done it with my other email address and have gone round so many houses to achieve it the passwords etc are a mystery now. is there a place where i can view what is linked to what, and generally do some house keeping and tidy up the mess i have created attempting to enable the features of her i pod touch? I am trying to keep my child from the full force of the internet and therefore have found the easiest course of action to leave everything switched off and am starting to wish i had bought a shuffle instead, She is right to question why she has the device when she can not use it to it's capacity. But safely. And i am astonished that the help is so difficult to obtain quickly and easily, surely other responsible parents have had to do the same thing?
MacMost Now 653: Setting Up Multiple iOS Devices For Messages and FaceTime
If the iPhone has iOS 6, you can only uncheck your phone number on the iPod that is in Settings>Messages>Send And Receive. To delete yo have to create a new iTunes account not associated with the phone.
What do yo mean by "is there a place where i can view what is linked to what, "?

Hi:
I had two iCloud account - one on my iPad set up with Me.com. Its a long story as to why I had two account which I will not the issue. I changed my iPad account to link up with my MacBook Pro account - which is my primary account. After doing this all seemed OK except I could not get y primary iClould email account set. When I tried to add my primary iClound email account it only allows you to add a NEW iClould account which is not what I want.
How do I correct this issue? Thanks.Thanks Winston but your solution did not work. In my iCould account everything works except Mail - that being contacts, calendar, reminders, etc. When it comes to mail it is currently OFF. When I turn it ON, it states that I need to create a NEW free iClound account, and allowing me to establish my existing account.
When I tried your solution, it stated that the account already exists but in reality it is not on my iPad.
Any more thoughts? -
How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch?
How do I delete the factory app settings on my iPod Touch? For instance: I don't want the app "Stocks" to appear on my screen any more. Is there a way to delete/hide it?
The built in Apps can't be deleted, but they can be moved to an unused screen. You could create a folder of all unused Apps and move it.

Try:

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store?
How can I make my apple ID valid for purchases other then the Canadian iTunes Store? I wanted to download the "Wath abc family" app and it said it had to switch me to the american store because the app isnt available in Canada yet. Once it switched me I put in my apple ID and password and thats when it said that my apple ID is only valid in the canadian store and it switched me back.

3)To make purchases in the Mac App Store/iTunes Store for any particular country, you must be a legal resident of that country and supply a credit card issued by a bank in that country with a verifiable billing address in that country. Do you also make those qualifications in the US?
But as a side note, as one who has that app, you can only watch both ABC and ABC Family shows if you have an account with a US cable or satelite TV company with which to sign into the app. Otherwise you don't qualify to watch shows with it. -
I can't open the app store, safari the mail app, youtube app and the maps app. they try to open then close very quickly. what can I do?
Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -

HT204053 can you have multiple apple id's for the family but we all use the same iCloud?
Can you have multiple apple id's for the family members but we all us the same iCloud account?
You'll have to have an ID you all share in order to have a shared iCloud account. It would be sensible for each person to have their own ID and their own iCloud account for email and their own data (each would be on their own computer/iOS device or user account on a Mac) and then have a common account which everyone would sign into in System Preferences>Mail, Contacts and Calendars to access shared data.
You don't want to be all using the email in a common account - if people are using email aliases remember these can't be detached from the account and transferred to another one. Having all your emails mixed up together can be somewhat impracticable. -

I have brought some movies and they just come up with this message that says it cannot be played on this iPod. I've bought movies before without iTunes Extras but these have iTunes extras and they don't want to sync with my iPod
Does anyone know what is wrong?Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the video. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is only compatible with the 4G iPod Touch. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.
