I have an ipod that i share with my daughter she put in a password and now cannot remember it an is locked out.  How can we delete the currently existing useless password and not lose any of the information on the ipod?

If you cannot remember the passcode for the Screen Lock, you will need to Restore the device...
1)  Connect to iTunes on the computer you usually Sync with and Restore...

2)  If necessary Place the Device into Recovery mode...

    Hi kamfong,
    Went to Settings where?
    If you want to use your exisiting Apple ID on your iPad, you need to:
    1.     Go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and sign out the new ID, and then sign on the old one
    2.     Go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and delete the iCloud account, and the sign back onto iCloud using the old ID
    You still have not indindated why you are saying that using your old ID originally "didn't work". What do you mean by that? Did you get some sort of error when you tried to sign on with your exisiting Apple ID?

  • HT4859 I have an iPhone 5 and have just set up the iCloud for it. I also have an iPad with different content and I also want to connect it to iCloud. Will I lose everything that's on my iPad or iPhone or do they sync together without losing anything?

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

    If it is still under warranty, and they determine it is a manufacturing defect, they will replace it. Be sure to back everything up before taking it into the Apple Store. That way, if you do get a new device, you will be able to set it up from the backup.

  • Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting an iphone 5c. Want to transfer data to new phone. Currently all our family devices on one apple ID for purchases and it is the same for icloud. I want to create a new one for icloud for this iphone. What do I do?

    Currently have ipod touch 4 and am getting iphone 5c this weekend. Currently our family has several apple devices and they have the same apple ID for itunes and it is the same ID that we use for icloud. I want to set up a separate icloud ID so that it is only on my new device. I still want to keep the same apple ID for purchases. Can I do this and better yet when do I do this...before the purchase, after the purchase and backing up of data. Where do I go to create a new one?

    Figured it out. Thanks.

  • I have set up another account with a different email which is not mine. AN email has been sent to this email to verify the account, how do i stop this being created?

    I have set up another itunes account by accident. I do not have access to this email as it must belong to someone else. An email verification to set up a new account has been sent to this email know. How do I stop this account from being created?

    To change accounts on your Mac, go to System Preferences, sign out of the current account, then sign into the new account.  When you sign out of the current account it will delete synced data from your Mac.  Assuming your data (such as contacts, calendars, etc.) is in the other iCloud account, it will be synced to your Mac when you sign into this account.

  • HT201274 I am locked out of the iPod. It says to connect to iTunes but it won't because it is locked.....what do I do? It is an iPod touch. Tried to erase settings but we can't do anything until it is unlocked.

    We have an ipod touch.... entered the wrong passcode too many times and are now locked out. Can't connect to itunes until it is unlocked....stuck...don't have any idea what to do...help!

    To get the iPod to connect to iTunes you would need to put it into Recovery Mode. This will require you to restore the iPod to factory settings which will remove the content from the iPod as well as the disabled passcode.
    To put your iPod into recovery mode:
    1. Make sure the iPod is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
    2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
    3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
    4. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
    5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
    After that you should be up and running in no time!
    I hope that this is helpful.

  • We use our Iphones with the icloud to set up scheduling of jobs. Multiple phones share the same icloud for this purpose. We recently had a change in leadership. How do I completely delete the icloud account? Or do I just create a new one/forget old 1

    Multiple phones share one Icloud account. We use it to schedule jobs and crew leaders read the cloud to get the information of the job that needs to be done. However, we recently had a change of leadership and we think this person might have logged into or put our cloud on his phone to sabotage our business. I changed the password but that didn't fix the situation. I could put a job on the cloud with an old phone that was logged in with the old password and everyone with the new password would still see the job. I have since created a whole new cloud account which seems to have eliminated the "future" issue of sabotage however I would like to completely eliminate that old account...any advise?

    Everyone needs to go to Settings (or System Preferences)>iCloud and click 'Delete account' or 'Sign out' as applicable (it's the same thing). Then they can sign into the new account you have created and proceed from there. You can't actually delete the old account from the server but you can just ignore it.

  • BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE - How do I get this to create a new batch ?

    I am calling this BAPI :     BAPI_GOODSMVT_CREATE and not passing any value in the batch field
    (GOODSMVT_ITEM-BATCH) and am expecting a new batch number to be created.   This is not the case, the BAPI is proposing a batch number (finding one via MSEG) and erroring due to this. 
    Is there any flag or config to indicate 'create new batch'

    Hi,
    if the material is handled in batches and batch numbers

  • My calendar is blocked. The server has a problem. I am trying everything, but since days I have no access to my agenda anymore. I am about to throw my MacBook Air out of the window :-( How can I solve this problem? My calendar does not react to anything!!

    My calendar is blocked since a few days, while I tried to upload a message in an event. In this weekend, i have not been able to get ANYbody at all online, to help me. I am desperate and feel absolutely idiot. Is anybody out there who can help me?.
    In the website it said:
    1. Open iCal - select "preferences" (I cannot select anything!)
    2. Select "accounts" (I have no clue what to do there)
    3. Re-enter " username and password (Where?)
    4. Exit iCal and start again (I did this, but don't get anywhere near a solution).
    5. Done (cry, cry, nothing changed for days now and I am about to throw everything out of my window :-))
    Thanks for some very useful and easy tips!

    Thanks mate ...
    yes I have an upgraded Iphoto 11 from 9.4.3 ........ unfortunately .... no it didn't solve the problem.  Of course my illiteracy is no help ..... but I did as you suggested and nothing changed at all.  When I highlight a photo I am unable to minimize it and despite changing folders (ie:photos to events) all that happens is that the events folder opens behind the opened photo.  The only solution is to go to "force quit" even though there is no sign to say "iphoto is not responding". and start again ..... very frustrating.  Appreciate any suggestion you have ...

  • Why are USB audio accessories being locked out of the iPod Touch 4G?

    It's very strange. First the camera kit was never allowed to work on neither the iPhone or iPod touch. I can understand that; the iPad has more reserve power. But since the analog inputs were deprecated on the iPhone 4G and iPod Touch 4G, there has been talk but no action on replacements allowing stereo audio input to these devices via USB.
    Now I've started to notice a pattern: USB audio accessories like Apogee's Jam and Fostex's Ar-4i originally were advertised as working on both devices, but as they are released, they become only available to the iPhone. Since these are self-powered devices, there doesn't appear to be any reason for this distinction. Does anyone know why this is so? Thanks.

    It's a mystery....

  • Updating JFrame with creating a new one

    Hi All,
    I instantiate an object as follows, which creates a JFrame
    _imageOutput = new ImageOutput(array, offsetArray);
    however this is inside a loop and instead of updating the JFrame is creates a new one each time. How can I stop it from creating a new one each time?
    Thanks,
    Enda.

    How can I stop it from creating a new one each time?If you do
    _imageOutput = new ImageOutput(array, offsetArray);
    then OF COURSE it creates a NEW ImageOutput object.
    If you want to update it (whatever that mean) then add a new method in that object like Update(). Then everytime you want to update it, use
    _imageOutput.Update() .  You can refresh the graphics of a JComponent with repaint().                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           

  • When i tried to sync my new iPhone to Itunes, I accidentally clicked on sync with my ipod, instead of creating a new one. So now my iphone is the replica of my ipod, deleting my contacts and pictures etc. Is there a way to get it restored?

    Only if a backup of the iPhone with all that data on it exists.  If one does, restore the iPhone using that backup.
