I am giving my MBA to my daughter. How do erase my stuff from the SSD?
How do I erase my stuff from my MBA 2012. I am giving it to my daughter
all of the stuff that is specific to you is under:
/Users/yourusername
If you log in as an Administrator, and delete your Account (Users & Groups) off an Apple SSD, all the files are deleted once and for all.
If you are the only Administrator, you will need to create a new account with Administrator attribute, and log in to the new Account to delete your old Account.

I want to send my daughter in Australia a BT headset from the US, will there be a compatibilty problem?
There shouldn't be, at least not based solely on country. Bluetooth is a world-wide standard. Just confirm with the manufacturer that the headset you intend to purchase is compatible with the device (model, operating system, etc.) your daughter will be using it with. Don't assume that just because it's Bluetooth that it will work with everything.

Any help is appreciated on how to unlock an iPod touch that has no screen. All I want to do is transer her apps/pics/music to her new iPod touch.
- What happens when you connect the iPod to its syncing computer and try to transfer purchases and other things? Error messages?
- Try resetting the iPod. Nothing will be lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- I know of nothing else to do without erasing the iPod. -

I am giving my iPad to my daughter,
I am giving my iPad to my daughter, when I restore it to orig factory condition will her iPhone purchases be available, and IOS5 to her through iTunes? Will the factory reset keep the upgrade for IOS5 or revert to original? Can she register it via the Cloud or does she need to connect to iTunes.
If you reset the iPad to factory settings it will be like giving her a brand new iPad with a clean install of the iOS. She can use her own Apple ID and download any past purchase that she has made on the phone. Without knowing where you live - in the US - virtually everything can be downloaded again including many movies - not all but many movies.
If the iPad is now running iOS 5 - she can restore via iCloud - if that is what she has been using for a backup - or if she has been using iTunes - she should restore from that. If she is still using iTunes she will want to sync all of her content onto the device as well.
iPhone only apps will run on the iPad but will appear in the smaller screen size and though they can typically be doubled in size by tapping the 2X button that will appear in those apps on the iPad, the resolution will be crappy - but the apps will work. -
HT201209 How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account?
How can I create an apple ID for my daughter, without adding a credit card to the account? I have tried to purchase a gift card online, but it just credits it to my account; I cannot use it to credit her new account therefore I cannot create that account.
There are intructions on this page for how to create a new account without giving credit card details : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
e.g. log out of your account, find a free a free app in the store, click on its free 'price' :
click on 'create Apple id' on the popup :
Agree to the terms and fill in the details, and you should get 'none' on the payments screen. -

my daughter has changed her phone from an iphone to a nokia but kept the same number but when i send her a message from my iphone it still comes up as an i messsage and she doesnt receive it can anybody tell me how to fix this please
She needs to remove that device from the iMessage database, or if she still has the phone, she can go into Settings, Messages and turn off iMessage. If she still has the phone, she just needs to put the SIM back in for a couple of minutes to turn that off.
If she does not have the phone any more, she will need to go to her Support Profile, if she registered the phone and delete the phone from the profile. -

Can I have in one iphone 5 music from more than one itunes accounts? My daughter and I have our music in the same pc. She and I have iTunes accounts. I have not been able to load in my ophone with my itunes acct music that she purchased in her account. I have not been able to do this. Thanks
iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

How can I get rid of the accumulation of the backups in the Macintosh HD of my new MBA 13.3'' ?
How can I get rid of the accumulation of the backups in the Macintosh HD of my new MBA 13.3'' ?
My best advice is that you stop worrying about the backups that TimeMachine is making on your MBA. First, these local backups are only made when TimeMachine should perform a backup but your computer isn't connected to TimeMachine. Once you reconnect your computer to TimeMachine it makes a backup and the local backups are deleted. Second, TimeMachine stops making local backups when your free drive space dips below 80%. So the local backups aren't going to take over your computer.

How can I migrate data from an old MBA to a new one without having access to the screen of the old one? The screen of the old MBA is damaged !
If your "older" MBA has a Thunderbolt port then it isn't that old. See Target Disk Mode about how it's used. Note that without a monitor you won't be able to tell from the screen when it has fully started, and if it succeeded in starting in TDM. If it did, then the hard drive should appear on the Desktop of your new computer. You can then access it to transfer your files. You can even use Migration Assistant or any backup utility to transfer data. Just don't try to transfer system files.

My daughter has shared my iTunes account for the past 10 years. Now that she has established her own iTunes account, how can she transfer content from my account to her new account?
Hi Dennis,
If you want to share iTunes purchases between multiple accounts in the same family you could use Family Sharing.
Sharing purchased content with Family Sharing - Apple Support
Take care,
