How do I set up my old iPod touch 4 for my child

I am trying to set up my old iPod touch for my 10 year old. I want to be able to filter things out and get my contacts off from the iPod. I tried setting up a new Apple ID just for the iPod, but have not been successful. Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you!

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Yo have to enter a birtdate that results in being at least 13 years old
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive. Note if you do this then y will NOT copies of Messages he gets/sends unless you also add his email address to your device in Settings>Messahes>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
You can set Restrctions for content

How do I set up a second iPod Touch account on my computer? Am having trouble.

You seem to know alot, so I am contacting you regarding my query
I bought a second iPod touch for my daughter. My problem is that this second iPod is not being recognized as a device... therefore I cannot sync it or add any content to it. Do you know how I can add a second iPod to my iTunes so that I am able to sync it?
I have gone through all of the troubleshooting (restarting iPod, restarting computer, reseting iPod to factory default...etc). Can you please help me?

I have an iPhone 4 and getting a iPod touch for my child, my question is whether to create separate account or have a shared account? I want to share some music and apps but not all and I also want her to be able to iMessage and face time with her own iPod and own account . What's the best way to go?

You can use one Apple ID for purchasing (App Store & iTunes Store) and shared with your child whereas your child uses a different Apple ID for Game Center, e-mail, FaceTime, iMessage. Even on iCloud there you'll get an extra 5GB free.

How do I Set up a used iPod touch on windows with content from my own iPod ?

Am giving my son my used 32 Gb IPod Touch 3rd generation to replace his own ailing iPod touch.
What are the steps to follow to create a mirror image of HIS DEVICE from his last backup onto mine so it becomes a clone of his old one ???

Have him do a normal backup-and-sync operation with his old iPod Touch on his computer (or his account on your computer, however you have this arranged). Disconnect his old iPod Touch from the cable, plug in the replacement iPod Touch, and choose to RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will replace all his settings, media, apps, and even the data stored by individual apps. In all ways it should look and behave just like his old iPod Touch, only without whatever was "ailing" it.

Discount for trading in a old ipod touch for a new?

i have the 1g and the only issues it has are from software upgrades (no-wifi) and hardware issues from bad manufacturing i guess
is it possible to get a discount?
because it angers me how apples products have ruined themselves and im the one to suffer...

Apple recycles ipods. If you bring in an ipod for recycle, then you can get a 10% discount.

Need Advice on Setting up a iPod Touch for a Child

My 5 year old daughter was fortunate enough to win a iPod Touch 4 in a school raffle. I have currently setup the device and tied it to my Apple ID so I can easily load the apps I have previously purchased (for her to play with on my devices) and so I can control her settings, access, etc.. The problem arises when I try to message or connect via Facetime to her device. Essentially I am trying to connect to myself and sometimes my iPhone connects back to itself, to my iPad, or her device. I would love to connect to her directly and could establish an Apple ID for her and that device but then I lose access to the Apps that I specifically purchased for her for use on other devices. Does anyone have suggestions on setting up devices in the same household so that they all have access to the same purchased content but still have unique IDs for wifi messaging and Facetime?
Also any advice on controlling content, tracking, and access related to a young child using this device. I have enabled all the content filters and set them to the appropriate levels but any additional tips would be welcome.

you can use two Apple-IDs :
one apple-ID for the kid, so for Facetime,Mail etc.
To keep your purchased Apps,Music,iBooks available on the new iPod simply enter in the appstore.app and itunes.app, ibooks .app the apple-id you have used to purchase stuff.
Same goes for the icloud feature : the ID used for that can be a different then for the purchases.

How can i set up a apple id account for my child without a credit card?

Hi i have set up family sharing but now want to set up a apple id for my daughter. i have attempted to do this but i do not have a credit card only my visa debit card or visa electron. I was wondering if there is any way i can set one up for her ipod with just one of my cards? I really dont want to lie about her age just to create one
Thank you

Hey Sonn.80,
Creating an Apple ID for a child requires the use of a credit card for your payment method in Family Sharing. See this article -
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids - Apple Support
Specifcally -
Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. To comply with child online privacy protection laws, you will use the CVV or security code from a valid credit card as part of providing your parental consent. If the card on file is a debit card or another payment method, you’ll be asked to provide a credit card before you can continue. After you create the child's Apple ID, you can change your payment method back to a debit card.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

Exchanging old ipod touch for new one

Hi
I'm kind of new on this forum, just made this account so be easy one me thx
kk, so the problem is th i bought an itouch on July 24th and i was wondering if I could exchange it and pay a little extra to get the itouch with a camera on it. Do you think it's possible?
I erased all the apps and songs i downloaded and it looks brand new

Apple won't exchange it, if that's what you mean. If you bought it from an Apple Store, they give you fourteen days to return a product, and after that, it's yours, and you're long beyond that time. If you bought from a dealer, you can ask the dealer, but I don't know any that would accept a return this long after purchase.
Sorry, but you'll probably have to sell your iPod if you want money to put toward the new model.
Regards.

Swap old ipod touch for newer model?

I have the 2nd gen touch and want the 4th gen.

Sell yours, buy a new one. Apple will only buy your old one at a nominal price for their recycling program. They will provide you with a gift card.
