How do I set up my kids itouch?

I have one iTunes account with an iPhone 4s set up. I also have two kids...both with iTouch's. I am trying to set up their iMessaging but it wants to treat my kids iTouch as if it were mine. I have set up email addresses for them...but, we can't seem to get their identities synched up.

Have a look here...

How do I set up my kids laptop to have to ask for wireless internet password everytime?

I don't want my kids to be able to just click on a web browser and automatically connect to the internet. I want the wireless internet to require a password everytime in order to log on to the wirelss router.
How do I do this?

How do I do this?
The AirPort Extreme (and other Apple routers) do not have this type of capability. Using the AirPort Extreme, it is possible to enable one or both of the following options:
1) Require a password to to connect to the wireless network every time the network is accessed
2) Set up daily time limits for each device that will be allowed to connect to the wireless network
If you need an applicaton to control access to the Internet or specific sites on the Internet, you might take a look at OpenDNS as a potential solution.

How do I set up my childrens iTouch

We purchased 2 iTouches for our boys and were trying to set them up with iTunes. We already have 8 total apple products and when I activated the iTouches, it removed my 2 Apple TVs from my authorized items list. How do I allow the new iTouches to have all my apps but not deactivate my other apple products?

Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. I believe that computers count as well.

Hi, I am wondering how best to set up the kids ipad minis on my account. I don't want their school work on my devices and they don't want my info on theirs. Do I set them up their own Apple ID?

Is anyone able to help me with how I have each ipad set up with only what that person wants on it. Currently we all get each other's apps etc and this is becoming a pain.

There's a few ways of managing multiple devices on a single computer (and keeping seperate content on each). The following document is worth checking through:

How do I sync in my new itouch to a computer with existing ipod account?

Hello!
How do I set up my new itouch to the same computer (PC) that has an existing ipod account. I would like to set it up as a different account for the reason this itouch is for my son. I would like to use 1 computer for 2 ipod & itouch systems. Is there "step by step" information that anyone could guide me to? I've looked a little, but haven't found anything useful. I've tried to do this myself, but when I hook up the new itouch, it takes me to "my" ipod account vs. taking me to "set up a new product".
Thanks!

Apple ID for my 9 year old - How can I set up an ID for my 9 years old. We have bought him an ITouch for his birthday, he also has a $30 iTunes card. To load up the iTunes card he needs an ID. When I try to set him up it says he is below the min age.

How can I set up anApple ID for my 9 years old. Every time I try it tells me he is bolew the min age. If this is the case how can he download free games and how can he redeem his birthday $30 iTunes card? I dont want him to use my ID as it has my credit card details.
I'm very fustrated with this as it seems the Apple kit is for 13 years and older only.
Cheers
Brad

That's great your 9-yr-old is responsible enough to handle an iTouch!
There's no way around the age limit. I suggest a family account that you, an adult, control.

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes. I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices.

How can you set up more than one device on iTunes? I have an iPad, iPod, itouch and iPhone. I don't want the same on all devices. I have all my music/videos on iTunes on my mac book pro. Can you set up separate folders for each device and drop in what ever music/videos from the main iTunes library?

In itunes it is called syncing and you can choose exactly what content to sync to all devices and it can be different for all of them

HT5622 i am getting iphones for my kids how should i set them up re: new apple ids or use mine? so i can keep an eye on them

I plan on getting my kids i phone 4s how should i set them up should i use my apple id or create new ones how do i keep an eye on them etc
thank you

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

How do I set access time limits for my kids devices?

I had a Time capsule installed.
How do I set time limits on my kids devices or can I?

You can set individual daily time limits for any wireless devices that connect to the network using the Timed Access feature in AirPort Utility.
First look carefully on the back or bottom of each of your kids' devices for label that has a MAC Address. This is an ID number that will have a form of xx : xx: xx : xx : xx : xx. The "x" can be either a letter or number.
Write down each MAC Address carefully, noting which device is which.
Post back when you have done this. Do not post these ID numbers....just let us know that you have them in hand.
We will also need to know what operating system that you are using on the computer that is used to configure the Time Capsule.
If you have a Mac, and are not sure what operating system it is using.....click the Apple icon in the upper left corner of the Mac's screen, then click About This Mac. Post back with the OS X Version number that you see there.

I have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipods. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone?

i have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipod touches. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone or rather using my apple id? Is this possible? Does each device need its own apple ID and/or icloud email?

Try unchecking your phone number and email address (if present) under You can be reached by FaceTime (iMessage) at in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime on their devices. Also uncheck their email address (if present) on your phone.
Otherwise have them use separate Apple IDs for these services (tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with a different ID). You can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.

How do I set up different icloud accounts for each family member and make them able to access them on our common mac using their user name on the mac. I am doing this to make sure kids don't get access to our messages.

We have several apple products in the family. I would like to set up different icloud accounts for each memeber. I lately noticed having activated different devices with same icloud account that each device can access everyones messages by going in their settings and clicking which number or email they want to use to see messages. Let me make sure I am understood, on my sons ipod in his messages settings he can switch to my cell number and see all my messages. Re setting the devices isn't my great issue but can i set up each kids user account on my mac to their individual icloud accounts?
Thanks!

Any devices connected to the same icloud account can sync all the data on that account. For this reason an icloud account is really for a single user.
On a mac, if each user has their own account, then the itunes for that mac account should be set up to connect to that user's icloud account (System preferences>icloud).

How can I set h.264 to convert quicktime for itouch 16x9 (480x320)?

When I select ipod settings and select 16:9 that converts to 320 x 180, but I need 480x320. How can I set that up?

Hi,
That is exactly what I did. It only gives me the preset 320 x 180. I would like better resolution than that for 16x9 aspect ratio.

How to restore deleted playlists to an itouch after syncing with wrong device. Tried to search for device to restore under devices and it completely removed it as a device on itunes. Is there anyway to get the information back?

To start we have several users and devices on our itunes account....Several weeks ago I was using my itouch to create playlists for a few aerobics classes that I teach. Right before I was about to unplug the itouch I got a notification that my itouch was full and didnt have any space left. Since I was done with what I was doing at the time, I unplug my itouch and figured I would delete unwanted songs later to create more room. A week later, I went to sync my itouch into itunes and over the devices it told me that it was named another device and wanted to know if i wanted to sync the information to my itouch I had just plug in. I had never seen this message before in all the other times I had used it, and at the time I didnt realize that it was giving my device the name of another user in my house. Without realizing it itunes started to sync the new information to my itouch. I immediately unplugged the usb cable stopping the process. I then replugged the usb cable in, hoping to get done what I needed to get done on my itouch thinking it might have just been a strange glitch. Also, since I hadn't notice any change on my itouch from the incorrect syncing, I continued to start itunes again. This time it asked me the same question as before "did I want to sync the information from another ipod?". Since I didnt notice any changes before I just let it do the syncing not realizing at the time that it was earsing all the info I had on my itouch and replacing it with info coming from the other users ipod.
I contacted Apple and they gave me infomation on how I could go look for my itouch under devices and get the information back. When I did this my itouch was no longer there under the devices and it was replaced with the new name that itunes had given my itouch. This device is one of the first generation itouches and has never been backed up that I know of... So my question to you all is...Is there any way of getting my playlists back???? I spend countless hours creating these playlists for my classes and have been completely out of my mind trying to figure out how I can possibly get the infomation back. Please let me know if you think there might be a way to do this!!!

The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices. It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters. They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
I hope this helps!
