My daughter is using my Apple ID and she needs her own! Is there a way to get her music to her acct
Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, it's not possible to transfer ownership of music.
Ideally you should each have your own iCloud account, that way you can each manage your own mail, contacts, calendars, documents etc and avoid unintentional deletions and unwanted editing. If there is information you wish to share between you, this can be done with a secondary account.
Having separate iCloud accounts, doesn't mean you have to have separate iTunes accounts, so whilst you keep your personal data separate, you can continue to share music, apps, books, TV shows, movies etc.
However, you should also consider, she will likely want her own account one day and it may mean she leaves even more music behind if she waits.

Hi, I need to take my daughter off from our Apple account and set up her own. So, delete her from one account and create her own. Realize I sound imbecilic for not knowing how to do this. Any ideas? Thank you so much. Jules
You don't have to take her off your account exactly: she needs to sign out from your account on her computers and devices. Then she can obtain an Apple ID at http://appleid.apple.com and use it to sign into System Preferences or Settings>iCloud.
However, there are some issue about this. If she has been syncing her calendars and contacts to your account then the data will disappear from her devices, but remain on your account. Individual calendars can be exported as .ics files and reimported into her account, but if she has her contacts mixed up with yours she will have to enter them individually in the new account (or export yours, import them into hers, and delete the ones she doesn't want.
More intractable is the email issue. She cannot move an address from your account to hers, so if she has been using a alias on your account to have her own address she cannot transfer it. She will have to create a new email address. -
My husband was helping our daughter set up an apple id. She entered her e-mail address incorrectly, but didnt realize it until AFTER they had entered a credit card number. How can we cancel the account with the wrong e-mail address?
iMac model?
Mac OS version?
Both can be viewed fby doing "About this Mac" from the Apple menu at the left end of the menubar. The OS version will be pretty obvious; posting what the window says about your processor will help us figure out what model.
I ask becasue about 60 percent of the posts here are about newer models than the pre-2006 iMacs this forum serves.
Not your fault if you found the wrong forum--Apple's labeling is as clear as mud! -
My grandma is a new apple user and she needs help making an apple account.

She should call Apple support or visit the Genius Bar at an Apple store (make an appointment first at http://apple.com/retail). They will walk her through the process.

I found my old iPod that I haven't used since about 2010, and I no longer have the computer that the library was synced with. Is there any way to get my music off of it so that I can put it on my new iPod? The old one is a 30 GB from 2005.
CS2 is very old and reached its "end of life" a while back. So probably won't run on modern operating systems. If you can still run it, you'll need to uninstall what you have and re-install with the download link below to activate it.

Certain web forms have formatting options like those found in Microsoft Word. They don't appear when I use Firefox, but do with IE of course. Is there a way to get it to display?
That formatting feature for text areas is known as Rich Text editing. Easy to enable on the web page with one line of code to tap into the Midas package that Mozilla uses, but the users can't enable it themselves from within Firefox.

Just realised my 7 year old has been using my apple id. God knows how he remembered it. He has spent a lot of money. Has any one experience of this? Am i able to get a refund?
Maybe. You can ask:

i have reset my iphone but cant retrieve the id from which i logged in to icloud, is there a way to start my phone without it, ive been trying for a very long time. please help!
Ok, when you said "found" I took that literally. Still, the activation lock cannot be bypassed, Apple cannot do anything to assist with that. You need to go through all of her papers and see if she wrote down the Apple ID and password as there is no other way to make the iPhone usable.

My daughter has set a password on her i pod touch and she cant remember what she set it as can someone help me is there a way i can reset it??
The ONLY way to reset this is by restoring the iPod Touch with iTunes, which can be done from the iPod Touch backup. The Passcode Lock is not included with the backup.
If there were another easier way to do so, there wouldn't be any point in having the Passcode Lock to begin with. -
What we want to do is retain each of our respective downloads whilst allowing for a future separation of the account. She has an iPod touch and I have an iPad. Currently she uses my account but wants her own and frankly I don't want many of her downloads. How do we separate?
Starting a new account does not erase anything.
There is no such thing as "separating" content. Give her a copy of the entire library, and let her delete whatever she does not want. Meanwhile, you can delete any of her stuff from your original library. -
I have a separate apple id and my daughter bought a song using my ID rather than hers. She was playing on my computer and bought it, thinking it would download to her phone through the cloud. Now I've got this song that I don't care for and have no use for. Is there a way to get it to her ID short of burning it on to CD and then uploading it to her phone?
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde -

My daughter used my apple ID to set up her ipod and now her email address is on my icloud account, how do i get it off, i have tried everything?
Where do you see her email address on your iCloud account?

My daughter got an iphone. She set up using my apple ID. She deleted all the contacts that appeared on her phone and now they seem to be gone completely. Is it possible that she deleted contacts from the cloud? Are they permanently gone?
The "system" performed as designed. All devices syncing to one iCloud account are kept in common sync. The idea is that all such devices belong to one user. Different users should have different iCloud accounts. Once your contacts were edited, all devices were updated as well and subsequent backups (from yours and her device) reflected the changed contacts (and any other data that may have been edited like calendars). Your first task is to change your daughter over to a new account before she makes other changes.
The only way I see for getting back contacts is to restore them from a time machine backup, assuming you also have a Mac included in the account which syncs the contacts. However, I'm not sure whether time machine includes contacts from iCloud along with those that are local, "on my Mac".
Otherwise the deleted contacts are gone. -
My daughter currently uses my Apple ID. How do I set her up her own ID but retain the music she has purchased?
You cannot associate previous purchases with a new ID.
A specific answer as to how to otherwise share media will depend upon your computer setup, about which we currently have no idea. Do you have more than one, at they networked, does she use the media on an i-device?
