I have a really old ipod and do not have a credit card for my apple ID. How do I get past doing so without using apps, since I have an ipod where you cannot download apps.

I am trying to create a new apple ID. And I do not yet have a credit card. So I would like to know how I can make this apple ID without having to worry about having credit card information. My ipod is the big one where you cannot even download apps onto it yet. Please help.

You don't need an Apple ID to use a "classic" iPod. You only need a computer (Mac or PC) that can run iTunes. If your iPod is older, your computer does not even need to run the latest version of iTunes. You can add songs to your iTunes library from music CDs, and song files you have already. Then sync the iPod to that iTunes library.
An Apple ID only comes into play, if you want to buy and download songs (and other media) from the iTunes Store. This document describes how to create an Apple ID without a credit card

My iPad is frozen with the message not enough storage. Options are close and settings but it will not respond to buttons and will not allow me to turn it completely off. How do I get past that message?

Delete some apps, files, photos, videos, movies, etc to free up some space.
How much space is your Other using? You may be able to reduce.
How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

Help would be much appreciated!

If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

I signed into my Apple ID on a new phone and I already had it on my iPod. When I signed into the new phone it won't let me buy anything unless I know my old security questions but I don't know the answers to them. How can I get past those or change them?

If you are referring to an iDevice, sign out of your new Apple ID and sign back in with your old one - they should all be there.

"What do you mean? "
What don't you understand?
"He didn't know what he was doing"
Yet, you let him play with you ipod.
You can try contacting itunes support and asking for an exception, but they are under no obligation to allow.
He didn't know what he was doing

IPod hung on "password incorrect" for exchange account. Will not accept Cancel - keeps re-displaying same message. How can I get past this?

Will not accept Cancel - keeps re-displaying same message. How can I get past this? I've tried everything: power off; keep pressing Cancel; etc. There is not enough time to select another app before the invalid password message re-appears.

Try a reset. Nothing is 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.

My pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

my pc crashed and erased my itunes songs purchased from the itunes store. How do i get that content back without having to purchase them again?

I have somewhat of a similar problem. After iTunes last update, I am missing some of my purchased files of music,ringtones, and TV shows. Possibly movies, but just thought of that and did not look yet. Seems everytime there is an iTunes update, something happens, but usually an easy fix by just deleting music files from CD's that I loaded onto iTunes and no longer recognized after an update and reload from the hard drive. This time I do not have a current back up of all the music, ringtones, and tv shows I have purchased.
So I am also wondering how can I redownload purchases without being charged when there is no file left on the hard drive. It just stays listed in iTunes though.

How to verify billing information when you are under aged and did not put a credit card in cause you only buy with gift cards?! HELP

Hi Everyone.
My sister and I have been having problems with our ipods. We both have the touch and because our dad bought both our ipods and our ipods were under the same name it was starting to sync eachothers music to each ipod instead of seperate. we also wanted to use 2 different credit cards. so we thought the best solution would be to just create her, her own account. Everything went smoothly and i realized there was an option to not add a credit card, being that shes under aged and only buys with gift cards anyway. Now im struggling because i entered her gift cards into her acount and every time she goes to buy a song it says confirm or varify billing information. I have tried re entering her account info, i tried adding a credit card, ive tried several things and it is not allowing me to varify the account and will tell me that my requist is unavailable at this time....
does anyone know how to fix this problem soo she can buy songs
THANKS

You have to follow the instructions here and use an email address that you have not yet used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card

I created a document yesterday using numbers. Today I cannot open it until I download a newer verions for $19.95. How do I get to my information without having to pay a ransom?

I created several documents last week, which were duplicates of documents created more than a year ago. Once duplicated in "numbers", I made changes, renamed, changed the location and began working on those documents. Now I cannot open them unless I upgrade to a newer version of numbers for $19.95. Is there a way around this? From the reviews I have read, not everyone is pleased with the newer version of numbers.

Numbers 3.0 is a free download for anyone with Numbers 2.3 on the Mac.
But from your description you may already have 3.0 on your Mac. Look for Numbers in your main Applications folder. That is probably the new version that you need to open the recently edited documents.
The old version would then be in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09. That one can't open documents edited with the new version.
In any case, you do not need to pay for a new verson. If the new one is not already on your Mac, you can download it for free.

I have just updated my itunes and once reset, all of my iTunes content has dissapeared! how do i get it all back?

where do i restore my content from? and not just my music

For general library squiffiness following an upgrade the easiest thing is to restore your last backup, but I guess if it were that simple you wouldn't be here.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

HT4623 I have an iPad 3.2 and would like to upgrade the IOS to 5 or 6. I'm having difficulty doing so, including using a cable between my laptop and my iPad. What should I do?

I have an iPad 3 and have attempted, without success, to upgrade to iOS to 5 or 6. I've tried it wirelessly, without success, and cabled it to my laptop, also without success. What am I doing wrong?

The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.
