    i can not figure out how to download a device to my apple account.

    If you want a device or computer to show in the 'manage devices' section then the page that you posted from tells you how e.g. use iTunes Match on it, use automatic downloads on it, or redownload past purchases from the account - it should then appear in 'manage devices'

    I lost my ipod, how do you disconnect it from your apple account?

    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.

  • How do you add a device to your itunes account

    I am trying to add an old inactive iphone to my itunes account to use for my kids as an itouch type device. Itunes says you can have up to ten devices on one account but when I try to add a device it wants to sync it with my current iphone.

    First :

  • HT204074 How do I add a device to my Apple account?

    When I go to My Account -> Devices, there is no option to add a device...

    Just sign in to iTunes or the App Store on the device – you might have to download an app – and it will automatically be added to your Account.

  • How do you take a device off your appleID?

    How do take a device off your apple ID? I went to a iphone5 from the iphone3. She is getting my old iphone3. We simply want to clear "me" from the 3 and get her set-up with her own apple ID and apps. So what do I do?

    Connect her 3g to itunes, click the restore button, and restore as new, this will wipe the phone clean. Then sign into itunes with her new apple id that you will need to create by doing it here.
    https://appleid.apple.com
    Then you can go to settings in the iphone, itunes and appstore, tap on sign in with apple id and sign in with her new apple id.
    Everything will be hers then.

  • How do I associate a device with my Apple ID?

    I have an iPad and an iPhone.  I sync them with my iMac desktop computer, and never with any other.  I always use the same Apple ID.  As far as I know, it's the only one I have.
    Recently, I purchased an app using my iPad.  The next time I synced the iPad with the computer, I got an alert saying "The purchased item 'App' on the iPad
    'Etchemendy's iPad' could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for it on this computer."  The alert goes on, in fine print, to say, "To authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store, choose Store > Authorize This Computer."
    So I choose Store > Authorize This Computer, and I get a second alert saying, "This computer is already authorized."  A nifty little continuous loop that neatly precludes me from using the app on any device except the one I used to purchase it.
    But it gets better.  In stumbling around trying to figure out what's going on here, I accessed "My Account" using iTunes on my desktop computer (logging in with the same Apple ID I used to purchse the troublesome app).  When I click "Manage Devices," I arrive at a box that says, "These computers and devices are associated with your Apple ID for Automatic Downloads or to download previously purchased music, apps, and books..."  It then gives me a "list" showing just one device -- my iPhone.  The iPad is not shown here.  Neither is the desktop computer iTunes just told me is already authorized.  There's a button that says "Remove" next to the iPhone.  And two bigger buttons.  One says "Cancel" and the other says "Done."  There is no "add a device" option.
    So how to I associate a device with my Apple ID?  And, as a matter of fact, why aren't all the devices I registered using my Apple ID already associated with it?  I never had any of these problems till the big iOS system upgrade a few months ago.  Since which, my interactions with Apple have nearly all been nightmarish.  Apple obviously put the WAY wrong guy in charge of iOS development.
    Oh.  And BTW, when I look at the drop-down menu for choosing the "product" I'm having a problem with, only about half the devices registered with my Apple ID appear there.  And I have no clue what kind of iPad I currently have.  I have the warranty right in front of me, and all it says is "iPad WiFi 64GB Black." No doubt if I try to solve this using Apple phone support, I'll have to pay $20 to straighten out Apple's problem for them.  Which is why I'm here.

    My guess is you're using a long Apple ID and just omitted or mistyped a letter sometime, or something similar.
    Anyway, the way to recover is this:
    You cannot change ownership of the mistyped Apple ID to the correct one.  After all, the mistyped one purchased it.  However, you can authorize purchases from the mistyped Apple ID on your devices by doing Store > Authorize This Computer on iTunes on your computer, and enter the mistyped Apple ID and password.  Then sync again and you'll be all set.
    When you change computer (e.g., sell your current one and buy a replacement), you'll have to repeat this process.

    I own the movies and I want them to stay in my iTunes library basically forever.
    But in both cases the file name no longer shows in the movie list, so I don't know how to re-download it from the Cloud.
    iTunes prefs > Store > Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    This will show all your iTunes purchases in your library with a cloud icon down arrow. Click the icon to redownload or click on Play to stream without downloading.
    Also see this , -> Download past purchases
    and techncially, you don't "own" the movie, You simply have a license to use it.
    Yet the first thing iTunes does when you hit the delete key is tell you that it will remove the movie forever from all devices and the library.
    Actually, no it does not tell you that.
    FYI: You should keep copies of all yoru iTnue spurahses as the labels/movie studios/copyright owners can pull their product at anytime and it won't be available to redownload.

    On his phone, sign in Settings>iCloud and enable Mail so that he can have his own email address. Then add your account in Settings>Mail, Contacts & Calendars and enable Contacts and Calendars. They will then appear on his phone alongside any syncing he has set up. This will keep your emails separate, or you can add Mail as well so that you can both access that if you want. You can add his account in the same way on your phone and enable any data types you want to sync.

    If you enabled Find my iPhone then you should use that. If not, I'm afraid you're out of luck for finding it. 
    To manage your devices, go to Your Account in iTunes.

  • How do I add a device to my iTunes account?

    I just got an iPhone 5S and I have an existing iTunes account from my iPod.  I went into mange devices on iTunes but  I only see the option of deleting a device, not adding.  So how do I add one then?

    Hi, Colbly. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    You would just need to sign into your Apple ID through Settings > iTunes & App Store to associate your device to your Apple ID.  This will give you access to all your previous purchases made with your Apple ID.  You may be asked to answer your security questions as an authentication method on new purchases with the device.
