I bought a used ipod nano and it is associated to another itunes account. How can I change the itunes account to mine so I can register it to my account?
I bought a used ipod nano for my daughter and when I tried to register it, I got a message advising that it is registered to another iTunes account. How can I remove that association and associate it to our iTunes account?
Restore it in iTunes on your computer.
There is a difference between registering with Apple and using it with iTunes. To register it (which isn't necessary) you would have to get the previous owner to de-register it.

I cant get my Nano to sync to my computer. It is new and and I downloaded the latest Itunes last week. I hit sync and it makes a sound within a second and then says it is done. What can I check?
Hey OBandPL,
I would use the following article to run through the recommended syncing steps one more time:

I bought a new Ipod Nano and purchased songs on Itunes. How do I download the songs from the computer to my new ipod
Connect the iPod to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (if you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), and then on the right-hand side you can use the Music tab to select which of your music that you want on the iPod.

I bought a used iPod touch and when I try to set up my iCloud account, it says that the maximum number of free accounts have been activated on this device. Is there a way around this? I thought I could maybe set up the account on my PC and go from there, but it won't let me do that. It is forcing me to set up on the iPod. Am I doomed to have no iCloud account because I opted for a used device?
See this previous discussion.

I am going to japan with an Ipod nano and Iphone 4. Do I need a converter? or does the one the iphone comes with that plugs into the wall enough? I know i wont need an adapter because it will fit into the wall outlet, but voltage wise, will i need a converter? Japan runs on 100 V. I am so confused on all of this...
As long as the adapter is 2 pronged, then you should be able to use it without any problems.

Bought a new ipod nano and the computer won't recognize it
I just purchased a new ipod nano and have my itunes on Windows 8. I've connected it with the supplied cable to USB 2 and 3 and every time I receive a message a new ipod has been connected but it is not recognized by itunes.
How can I make this ipod work so I can set it up and start using it?Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

Can i use ipod nano and mini on same computer?
we have an ipod nano. works great. daughter is trying to use an ipod mini and we get a message that itunes cannot communicate with device and that we need to reinstall itunes. Is there a compatibility problem here? Can we use a nano and a mini on the same computer?
THANKS!You may need to update iTunes to work with the second generation nano; updating iTunes will not erase anything from your library, and it will continue to work with the iPod mini.

How can I change the iTunes account on a used computer
I puchased a used laptop and need to change the itunes account.
Go to the Store menu in iTunes and choose "Deauthorize this Computer".
Then you'll have to go back to the same menu and choose "Authorize this Computer".
Of course, this might delete any purchases made from this account and delete them from your iTunes library. -
Old dome bottum imac g4... How do I switch administraters? And switch itune accounts? I am new to apple desktops...
When you say 'changed my email with the itunes store and have a new password' do you mean that you've changed the email address on that old account, or are you referring to a different account ?
If you've updated the old account then try logging out of the account on the phone by tapping on the id at the bottom of the Featured tab in the App Store app and then log back in with the updated version.
If they are different accounts then all apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, so only that account will be able to download updates to them. For apps like Twitter and Facebook you could delete them from the phone and redownload them via your account so that they are linked to that instead.
If there are apps that have content in them, and you can't copy that content off (so that you can delete the app, buy/download it on your account, and copy the content back), then you will need the password to the old account to be able to update them. You should be able to get it reset via http://iforgot.apple.com -
Sank the old iPod. Bought a Nano. Upgraded iTunes. Can't find a way to synch the device. Also picked up iTunes Match assuming it would work with this, but seem to believe I am hosed based on NOT having another iOS device and the Nano not supported by iTunes Match.
For a guy who works in Technology and advises on strategic go-to-market issues, I feel like an 80 year old trying to program a blue ray player.
Any phone or chat assistance available for me to accelerate this brute force fumble bum process?also, i think i have used the same email/password on both devices and thats whats mucked it all up. I didn't really understand how itunes worked before i jumped it...I don;t mind deleting all on my ipod if i can just get the nano set up with music and keep the games, audiobook purchased on it...any suggestions?

As you connect your ipod to iTunes, an option in the upper right of the screen will appear. When you click this, it will show the different menu for your ipod.

I have OS X 10.4.11 and I just got home with my new ipod nano 6th generation and I have after searching threads etc discovered I need to update my OS! How do I do this - all of the posts on this subject are a bit out of date I think? I have a mac book pro 2.2 so I know I can run Leopard, I just have no idea how to get it...? Please help!
Check your Mac against hardware specs to find out what version of OS X you can upgrade to.
Then buy DVD for that version.
