I am running 4 ipod classica through one computer and one itunes account/profile.  The ipods belong to me, husband and 2 kids.  How can the kids now get their own accounts but keep the stuff I have already downloaded for them?  They have their own laptops

I am currently running 4 ipod classics through my own account/profile on itunes.  They belong to me, my husband and 2 kids. 
The kids are getting older now and have their own laptops.  I would like them to have their own itunes accounts as they will be away from home much of the time and will want to make their own puchases. 
How can I set them up so that they are independent from my account, but not lose the content that I have downloaded for them over the years?  (A lot of content).

You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that.  Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card.  Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account. 
Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud.  Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account.  To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

  • HT1657 I rented a few movies and downloaded them to my computer.  Before they had been viewed, I updated my iTunes software and the movies were no longer in my library.  How can I access the movies as I have already paid for them?

    My iphone 4s is 2nd ...then i format..the phone want old user id...how can i used that iphone back because i dont know the id?

    There is no other solution - as you have already been told, if you don't have that user id and you cannot contact the previous owner of that id for the phone, then there is absolutely nothing that you can do.  You have a useless brick that you can't use.
    Nothing else to do.

  • HT3819 my kids got new ipads and I set up an apple id for each; how can I get the songs and apps we have already purchased for them from my apple id onto their new devices

    I understand that home sharing requires all devices to have the same apple id to access music, apps, books, etc.
    However, is there a way for my kids to share songs on separate apple ids so we don't have to buy 3 copies of the same song for our family?

    Turn on computer.
    Open itunes.
    Connect a device.
    Select what you want to sync.
    Sync
    Repeat for the otehr device

  • My computer with all my files I purchased crashed, so can I download them back onto a different laptop without paying for it again as I have already pay for them?

    Please will someone help me out

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer files/docs/pics/music/etc.  Use this to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup copy (not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipod: File>Transfer Purchases

  • My ipod classic ran out of battery, when I turned it back on all my songs were gone. How can I recover them on a windows vista computer? Also, the itunes on my vista does not have all my original songs. Please help

    My Ipod Classic died because it ran out of battery. Finally, today when I was able to plug it into my computer to
    charge it, all my music was gone. It did not show up on the Itunes nor was it present on my Ipod. Which freaked
    me out.  I dont know what to do because I do have Itunes but all the music I had on my Ipod was from my
    first computer, which I no longer have because it was stolen.  However, on my Itunes it says my Ipod
    has 14.27 GB used and 13.55 FREE. So I just want to know how to get my music back on to my Ipod
    and that it shows up in Itunes again. I have a Windows Vista so if anyone knows instructions it would
    be greatly appreciated!

    how can i fix this ?

    Copy the music currently on your iPod to your new iTunes library first.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different ways to do this.

  • Firefox seems to be my only browser that puts ads on my Facebook page. How can I stop this? I love Firefox but hate the ads and will use another browser until it's solved.

    Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.

    Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
    Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
    If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.

  • How can I load flash ads dynamically? ASP, but probably the same in PHP

    I have a flash advert that will run on a website for one month. At the end of the month the advert will change to another flash advert. I am trying to achieve this by way of entering the name of the flash file into a database so my client doesn't have to hand code the change, but I am struggling to get the way I thought would work to actually work and would like some advice on how to do it.
    The way I am doing it is to take the code created by DW's insert flash action, and I am then changing the path (in all four instances) from:
    _dataimages/_rightbanner/test2/Untitled1.swf
    to have it served dynamically like this:
    _dataimages/_rightbanner/<%=(rs_bannerright.Fields.Item("fld_image") .Value)%>.swf
    This isn't working though!
    Are there any other ways I can achieve this? Is there any tutorials out there I can learn from?
    I have tried server side includes too, but still no joy.
    Any advice on what is going wrong for me, or any suggestions or examples on how to dynamically change from one flash file to totally different one would be really appreciated.
    Thanks

    How can I create multiple versions of a video within the same project?
    You can't. You make separate projects using the same or different clips, segments, transitions, titles, etc. You can even duplicate the first project and then modify/make the desired changes in the duplicated project. Each project can then be burned as a different DVD or as different titles on the same DVD if there is enough room.

  • How can I duplicate my current iCloud Numbers Spreadsheet while keeping the current one?

    Hello, I spent quite sometime transforming one of the standard spreadsheets to meet my personal needs and I wouldn't like it to much if I have to do it again. So my point is, it there a way I can duplicate it without recreating it while saving my current one?

    In Numbers:
    File>Duplicate.
    Then save the duplicate wherever you want to.

  • I delete all when sign off, The performance of the connon is slow to load trustes sites how can all cookies be save fro some sites but all other sites be deleated?

    Firefox is slower than internet explore 8. I delete all when I close FireFox. I think I want to do is clear all cookies except some sites. Example USAIR is a trusted site it takes a long time to load. If I go into internet explorer clean out temporary internet file Internet explorer take time to load. How do you clean out everything except some select sites?

    I am not sure what you ask is possible.
    There is a default smart search for 'Most Visited' but I would think if you delete your 'History' you will not have History entries showing up in the location bar.
    You can keep your History but prevent it displaying in the dropdown list of the location bar, but that is the opposite of what you are asking about.
