HT3529 We have multiple iPod Touch's in our house. If we all want our own iMessage do we have to create new Apple ID's?
My son was the first to get an iPod Touch and he set up his iMessage.
Now my daugther has an iPod Touch, but we aren't sure how to set up iMessage so she doesn't get her brother's messages/chat... and can set up her own.
Does she require a new Apple ID for this?

You have to use seperate Apple IDs to use iMessage.
Set it up here:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleIdForIK B
Set it up on iTunes (on computer or iTouch)

Sorry for the exceedingly long title...
I have multiple iPod touches, and I just updated one of them to the newest iOS (5.0.1). Now whenever I plug in any of the others, the name of the one I updated appears in Windows explorer. How can I make Windows able to determine which iPod is which again?
64 bit vista home premium.iPod Classic are high drain USB devices, I hope you are not trying to connnect them simultaneously to iTunes, which will definitely hang your USB Host controller, thereby freeze iTunes.
But here is an Apple Support Article on using multiple iPods for iTunes.

Multiple iPod Touchs with Facetime linked to a single Apple ID
I have Multiple iPod Touchs (7 to be exact) with Facetime linked to a single Apple ID using different email addresses but all connected to the same WiFi network. Problem is that when I try to call one from another, multiples ring. I can call my iPhone4 with no problems even when the iPhone4 is on the same WiFi (iPhone4 is also linked to the same Apple ID). From what I have read, this should work and, in fact, it does.... sorta. Does anyone know how to get the calls to be answered by only the iTouch that is associated with that email that I am calling?
Thanks in advance....Hypertec wrote:
Hey EZ Jim,
Thank you so much for your responce.
You're welcome.
But, actually, that is exactly what I did. For example, I assiged the email address itouchone ... to the first one and itouchtwo ... the second and so on for all seven. Still, they are answering each others calls (usually multiples). For instance, I call itouchone... and itouchone, itouchthree, itouchfour, and itouchseven answer.
(1) If some or all of the seven emails you used are Dot Mac or Mobile Me email addresses, they may be aliases that will not work.
Info about dot Mac or Mobile me addresses:

(2) If the seven emails you used are literally those you posted, perhaps creating more and using each as a separate iD rather than merely caller iDs associated with only one iD could get FaceTime working.
I would start with only two iPods. Once you can make two work, you can replicate the solution five more times.
(3) Did you consider all relevant info in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319
I am totally confused. Could it be that facetime is sending out both the primary ID and the associated id? Help!!!
Thanks again,
DAVE
You will need to seek professional help for your confusion, Dave.
If you think the answer to this question might help you, consider using Little Snitch or something similar to monitor your network traffic.

Wifi for multiple ipod touches
Trying to get multiple ipod touch units online with a single Apple router. I can get 5 connections and then the 6th+ won't allow a connection. Tried different routers that will run 20+ computers wirelessly but still stuck on only 5 ipod touches allowed at a time. Help!
You need to make sure the DHCP range is wide enough for all the devices you are running. I can think of nothing that would prevent you from running as many as you want at one time. Go to an Apple store - they probably have 50+ iPhones and touches on line at any given moment.
Anyway, more information about your network setup would be helpful. You didn't really post enough information to come up with any kind of meaningful help. -
My main PC with my Itunes Library just crashed. I still have all my music on Apple TV, Ipod Touch (Gen 2), and Iphone 4 (verizon). How can I get everything set up on a new PC and working ?

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty? -
We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!
If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe. Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother. Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing. Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields. However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud. Follow the prompts from there.
In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe. Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go. -
I have a 5th gen 32gb ipod touch, if the battery needed to be replaced, would it be possible to take it to a local apple store and chaage it?
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is defective and has not been abused Apple will exchange it at no cost.

My ipod will not connect to itunes. I reset the ipod touch. uninstalled itunes and installed it. Turned off firewall however the device manager still does not show Apple mobile device usb. What should i do next? I have windows 7.

My 8GB iPod touch is running out of space, but all I have is 177 songs with no apps, videos, or pictures.
Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.
What is the Other on my iPhone and How to Remove It
An "other" larger than abount 1 1/2 GB usually indicates that the "other" includes corrupted files.
First try:
"First you go settings/general/usage/music/then left swipe over music and press delete and you would think it deletes your music but it doesn't instead it deletes your other but make sure your ipod is connected to a computer while doing this"
as recommended by:
How do I get rid of "other" storage: Apple Support Communities
Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.

My ipod touch 3G got V4.2.1 and I want IOS 5 but it said that my ipod has the lates version. How I Update To Ipod IOS 5?
According to the requirements it appears you may be able to run it if you don't have the 8GB version.
The 8GB version was actually a snazzed up second gen with newer iOS software.
If it doesn't see it, the hardware probably doesn't support it.
First make sure you've updated iTunes, then check it again, and if it doesn't show, it probably won't run on it due to the hardware being too slow to handle it.

My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?
My iTunes says my iPod touch 3rd Gen is up to date with iOs 4.2.1, how do I get the new iOs 5?
You must update your iTunes software to 10.5 first then you can upgrade to iOS 5.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
According to Apple the iPod touch 3rd gen can update to iOS 5.
"iCloud requires iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS or later, iPod touch (3rd and 4th generation), iPad, or iPad 2; a Mac computer with OS X Lion; or a PC with Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Outlook 2007 or 2010 or an up-to-date browser is required for accessing email, contacts, and calendars). Some features require a Wi-Fi connection. Some features are not available in all countries. Access to some services is limited to 10 devices."

I updated my iPod touch 4g to ios 5, i kept all of my apps but lost my progress on them. How can i, if possible, get my progress back?
You need to restore from backup. The backup contains app data like game progress. Make sure that autosyncing is turned off otherwise whe yu connect iTunes will make a back that does not contain the data. To to that go to iTunes>Preferneces>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPods....syncing.
Yu can alsolook at the date/time of the backup on that screen and see if it might contain the data.
