i am about to upgrade my ipod and want to give my old ipod nano to a friend. what do i need to do so thay can use it on their computer and create their own itunes account?

Connect it to iTunes, select the Nano in the "devices" column and click "Restore". The warning window you get will ask you if this is what you really want to do.
Your very lucky friend will essentially have it in the same condition as if she bought it new.
One more thing: if you registered it in My Support Profile, make sure to un-register it. Only you can do that. Have your friend register it under her own Apple ID.

  • I want to give my old iPod touch to a friend.  How do I get my Apple ID off of it so he can buy his own music and apps?

    I want to give my old iPod touch to a friend.  How do I get my Apple account ID off of it so he can use his own password and account?

    Unless you want to go through the full routine of deleting the Apple ID and any personal information...and keep in mind, all content is owned by the Apple ID used to download it so nothing on there can be updated.
    Go to Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Apple ID and remove the ID.
    Go to Settings > iCloud or any other place you will have links to your own account and remove the links.
    Go to Settings > Mail, Calendars and Contacts and remove all account information.
    Go to Settings > Messages and remove all account information
    Go to Settings > WiFi and remove all account information.
    And so on.

  • Want to give my old IPOD to husband but how do we share music etc - he wants different music and apps to me how can this be done without me deleting my stuff?

    Oooppss! Put the whole question in the title bar!
    What I would like to know is how do I get to keep my stuff different from my husbands, there are things that we both like and things that we don't. I dont want him to delete off my old IPOD if it means i have to keep installing again. I dont want to set up a new account because we want to share music and videos

    You'll notice that each iPad is identified by name.  See image below.  Highlight the appropriate iPad and configure iTunes the way that you wish.  The second image below is an example for apps.  You'll see something similar for movies, TV shows, etc.
    The only minor problem is app updating.  IF you choose to do it from inside iTunes, it's a minor nuisance.  Each app is permanently associated with whatever Apple ID was originally used to obtain it.  If you're logged in to the wrong ID, you'll need to log out and back in again.  On the bright side, if you update from the iPad, all you need is the password for the correct ID.  The iPad takes care of the rest.
    Mail is a special case.  I use Mac Mail and the setup is pretty much automatic.  What are you using?

  • I want to give my old ipod to a friend, but I no longer have the serial #

    I gave my old ipod to a friend, but we are both unsure if he can use it. I reased all of my songs, so it was blank. HIs wife has itunes but he is afraid to plug it in for fear that it will somehow affect her ipod. Do I need to somehow find the serial # (no idea how to do that) so he can register th ipod on itunes?

    He does not need to register it and it will not affect her iPod. Just don't connect both of them at the same time. The serial number is on the iPod and when he connects it to his computer he can also click on the iPod in iTunes, move to the Summary tab to the right and the serial number will be displayed.

  • I want to give my old iPhone 4 to my grandson to use like an iPod Touch. Wifi only. How do I deactivate my info..so he can buy his own apps. and not have the cloud pushing all of my data to the old phone?

    Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
    Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

    First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
    Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

  • HT4796 Hi, I've just bought a new Macbook Pro and started migrating from PC but the remaining time is about 70 hours long, I just wanted to know if that timing is normal and if not, does leaving running my MacBook that time can affect it?

    70 hours...  no, it's not normal but it can't hurt your Mac to be running for that amount of time.

    Your problem will be that AppleTV only has HDMI and optical output - no analogue out so unless say you had a B&W Zeppelin or similar that has optical in you'd need something esle to decode the audio to ananlogue.
    Some have also reported AppleTV not working for audio when TV is off or in standby.
    You may be better off having both!

    Are you referring to photos that are backed up or photos in photostream.

    Please connect your iPod mini with your computer, and do a restore before give it to your husband.

  • How to set up a new iPod Touch and transfer data from old IPod Touch

    ok, it's Friday night, I finished the cheese and about 1/2 a bottle of wine (myself...  not ideal for a smurf my size) and I still can't find the answer to my question after searching [to the best of my most current ability] all over the forums (I even searched long before I started drinking wine). I appologize right now for my ignorance and inability to find the answer on my own.... but could someone PLEASE, just tell me the best way to kill my daughter's Ipod Touch 2nd Gen (advertised as Gen 3, ha, ha, on me), and set up her new-(to-us) Ipod Touch Gen 4? I've already backed up her old device to my computer?  (it's a PC - sorry, it's free from my husband's office)
    Do I set up her new-ish Gen 4 as a "new device" or "restore from back up?" She's young enough (grade school - & why she gets old/cheaper HW) that we both still uses my iTunes acct for her device and mine so that I own & can monitor/manage the music that we both listen to... but this time I'll set up her own iCloud acct.  Although the new device (let's call it device B) has been wiped clean from the last user, how do I set it up? New device or restore from bk up? Now that she saved up the $ I paid for it, to pay me, she's driving me crazy about getting it going for her. Her orig/current device, iPod Gen 2ish (we can refer to that as device A) has been backed up to my computer and I'd like to port all of her data (calendar, contacts, pictures/movies, etc) to her new device.  Please help this old mom... my girl is driving me crazy... and I feel bad not delivering her goods.  Many thanks.

  • HT1338 Itunes, Mac Book, Mac Book Pro, Ipad, iCloud, iphones,i touch, iPods purchased. My accounts have been compromised. My documents taken photos, Conatacts, Business accounts and files. They have used my ID and know my ss # everything. I need to talk t

    I need to talk to someone about changing all of my accounts. A iCloud account was opened not by me and I lost 17 years of contacts. I have slowly gotten them back. My files from my Mac Book were taken and are gone. It has cost me about 60,000 dollars in business since November which has effected my staff as well. Many personal ireplacable memories of my childrens Photos were taken, Business, designs and accounting and personalFiles you name it gone or corrupted. My main PC including 4 external hard drives, then the Mac Book, My Iphones,itouch. Ipad were next and then my Mac Book pro. This is very humbling and heart felt. those who work with me have very strong beliefs, it was an internal doing or I should say someone gained or was allowed access to my home and equipment. I travel and tour and am gone quite a bit. This was and is the most difficult thing that has happened to me in a long time. In truth business and work will and can be rectified that not the point. It's how and what has been done which is the most damaging very personal almost vidictive but I will stop there. I feel so violated and saddened at the same time. I am hoping to contact someone through Apple or even an outside source to see if my files can be recouped and how to go about doing these changes all at once without all of the emails back and forth to approve changes in accounts what a pain. I want to change all accounts associated with apple. Apple ID and Pass words, I tunes ID and Pass word you name it.When I leave for work now days I have to take all of my equipment or lock things in the safe. I have an alarm system that is very good in additons to, animals still with the animals inside the motion detectors are off and in reality the damage has been done . I now this sounds crazy but I have proof of my back up files not all of them plus you can see in my documents all of my business accounts which are in orderof complition and dates are empty. My email accounts were also hacked and thru that individuals were able to change at will. When you have over 20 years of an association and relationships they know everything about someone. I do not want to press charges but I am to that point I need to bring in someone to investigate and I really do not know whom to even call. I have won awards for my work and my designs and information being taken has hurt more than words can express. I am currently out of town doing this late at night. I have changed my banking you name it. I need to have access to my computers to work but the stress of these constant changes and invasion of privacy are beyond expression. I plug in any of my usb drives and they are empty or my computers do not recognize them. I plug in my usb connector from my HP 8100  Printer with Blue tooth capabilities and it pops up and an external E drive for downloading just like an external drive. My printer acepts every imaginable portable disk on the market . Many of my usb drives are gone or have been corrupted. I have this darn air drop that goes on all the time. My computers I turn off and then they are on when I get up. I can go on and on. I live in the bay area and I am asking for help in trying to stop all of this. I will call Apple next but I wanted to put it out on this forum with the hopes of some response or input. I have all of my new and very minimal recovered information now on a web-based server which I know is safe the pass words and set up were done very discreetly (one can only hope). I apologize in advance for laying this out there like this. I am just so frustrated and because of the POSSIBLE implications makes it even harder In which I truly want to be proven wrong. I have never written or thought that I would be doing this as it is. If anything I hope some good comes out of this for someone. Bluetooth is a powerful tool this much I know now. Wow this is just simply amazing. There are 14 products I have purchased. I have been a windows person for years because of my work somethings are prapriatary to that OS but I love the Apple products. I am despratley trying not to nor will I throw in the towel. I know its a great product and its not the product. I just want to have the best opotunity to recover and have control over my designs and pretty much my privacy and peace of mind not too much to ask..:-) Oh! do not get me wrong I am willing to pay for services thats not the issue here. Once again thank you for at least espressing my frustrations.

  • 5th gen ipod not recognized by windows, but old ipod min works fine.

    my new ipod is not recognized by windows at all. my old ipod mini works fine. i even uninstalled everything and tried reinstalling the new ipod. after that didnt work, i plugged in my mini, and it reinstalled perfectly.
    I also plugged my new 5th gen into another computer with itunes and it recognized it perfectly.
    is there some sort of software conflict between the mini and other ipods? this is driving me insane.

    Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer.
    Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo (or Menu & Play/Pause in older models).
    This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.
