Ipod Touch for my daughter...use my account or new one?

Pro's and Con's to both.

It is up to you. Using one account makes it easier to share apps. However, you have to add a new email address in
Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached by, and
Settings>Messages<Send and Receive At
and delete the common ones from othat device.

    Hello GJS6,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when trying to connect your daughter's iPod touch to the computer.  I recommend the following article:

  • I want to buy an app for my daughter using my account but putting the app on hers any suggestions as to how to do this?

    How can I use my appleid account to buy a gift on my daughters iPod touch that has her own appleid account?

    "1) Sign out of the iTunes Store by choosing Sign Out from the Store menu in iTunes.
    2) Visit the My Apple ID website at:
    http://appleid.apple.com
    3) If the site is not displayed in your preferred language, click the Change Language link in the upper-right corner, type the name of your language in the field that appears, then click the Save button.
    4) Click the "Manage your account" link.
    5) Type your iTunes Store account name (which is your Apple ID) in the Apple ID field, type your password in the password field, then click the Sign In button.
    6) Click "Addresses" in the column on the left. Look at your shipping addresses at the bottom. If you have multiple shipping addresses, remove any out-of-date or duplicate addresses by clicking Delete. Also, make sure the state or province field is filled out correctly for each address. To edit an address, click Edit.
    7) Now click "Phone Numbers" on the left. The area codes should be in the area code fields and the phone numbers should be in the phone number fields. If an area code is missing, or if it is in a phone number field, your account information may not save properly.
    8) Make any other necessary corrections, then click the Save Changes button.
    9) Click Log out in the upper-right corner.
    When you make your next iTunes Store purchase, you will be asked to review your billing information. At that point, you can change your information or simply click Done. After that, you should be able to purchase items."
    I had the same problem once although I wasn't in a different country.

  • I have 3 iPods on my iTunes account. Two of which are my daughters. I have purchased a new iPod touch for my daughter, and want to establish her own iTunes account WITHOUT having all of her music go away when we do this.

    I multiple ipods (3 different users) on the same itunes account. All of the music is either from cd's or purchased from iTunes legally. A new iPod has been purchased, and I want to open a new iTunes account for the daughter so I can actually use iClound myself. How can I open a new account without losing all of the music that is tied to MY account, that is hers. I would like not to lose all of that music. Thanks

    Content is permanently tied to the account that it was purchased with.
    Simply plug the iDevice into the computer and sync the content you want.

  • My daughter dropped her ipod touch 4g into water. We bought a new one 3 days ago which she has dropped. The screen has smashed! Can we use the good screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one

    Can anyone help please? My daughter dropped her ipon touch 4g into water which resulted in it being ruined. We bought her a new one three days ago and she has just dropped it and cracked the screen!!!
    Cany anybody tell me, are we able to use the perfect screen from the water damaged ipod to replace the broken one on the new ipod or, would the water damage have ruined the screen too?
    Thanks in advance

    Your very best option would be to take it to an apple store and exchange it for an alike model which can be a refurbished, or new unit. The repair/exchange price is about 99USD.  http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&viewlocale=en_US&geo=United_St ates&product=ipod&select=REPAIR_PRICING

  • I recently found my daughter's ipod touch.  She has replaced it with a newer one.  I thought it would be great to give to my four year old, however I can't download apps becuase it says I need ios 4.3.  Is it possible to get that on an older model?  Do I

    I recently found my daughter's old ipod touch.  I wanted to give it to my four year old.  We can't get apps because a message appears saying we need ios 4.3.  Is that something I can get or is this product useless at this point?

    I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

  • Why can't my iPod touch add apps when using it with my new macbook pro?

    I've had my iPod touch (4G 64GB) since christmas 2010. I was syncing my ipod with a windows vista dell desktop. I bought a Macbook Pro 15" for college about two weeks ago. When I plug my iPod into my macbook it will manually add music but I tried adding a couple apps and it did nothing. Also on the iPod summary screen if I go to apps I can see my app layout but i can't move the apps and they are semi-see through. HELP ME!!!!!

  • IPod touch wont update apps but it will install new ones?

    My iPod touch 4th with ios 6.1.6 wont update apps, but i can install a new one.
    I go to the app store, updates, they show up i can hit update all or do them separately doesn't matter.
    Click on update it will switch to installing and ask for my password. Enter it and the installing will change back to update and do nothing.
    I have 47GB of space and no more later versions of ios to upgrade to. This one particular app upgrade only requires ios 4. something.
    With all this i am still able to install a new app and make purchases.
    Any Advise

    Go to the App Store and look at the requirements for the update. The update may require iOS 7 or higher. Sometimes updates get coded incorrectly and thus the iPod says an update is applicable when it really is not.

  • I have the old ipod touch without the camera and i received a new one with camera as a gift how do I transfer eveything to new ipod from old?

    I have the old ipod touch(without camera) and I received the new one (with camera) as a gift. How do I transfer everything from old one to new one?

    Make one final USB sync with the old iPod. The sync includes a backup. Then connect the new iPod to the same computer/iTunes library and restore from the backup of the old iPOd. All the synced media like apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media is not included in the backup that iTunes makes. For how to restore see:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
