IPod Touch Set Up - Password for Purchases?
I just bought my daughter an iPod Touch. How can I set up her iPod so that it connects to my iTunes account, but make it so that she cannot make purchases on her own?

Ipod touch rejects correct password for home wifi/router
My ipod touch can get unsecured wifi ok (sometimes, which is another discussion) but when I set up a Linksys wireless router at home, my laptop is able to use the wireless but the ipod touch sees the router's name, but rejects the correct password. (I did doublecheck the password by going into the IP address for the Linksys.) Why would my ipod touch not be able to access my own secured network when using the correct password? So I spent some time with Linksys on the telephone and they had me put a long number that they saw in the wireless security tab into the password line. Now there is a check beside my router's name, but I get the message "Safari cannot open the page" when I try to surf. The error was: Operation could not be completed. Invalid argument". I tried a couple more apps (Weather channel, google map, facebook) and the time circle just keeps going around. Why is my ipod touch not working, here?
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My son has forgotten his password and his iPod touch has been disabled for a week. It is not synced to iTunes , how do we restore it, Help!
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

My ipod touch keeps asking me for my yahoo password anyone know why?
my ipod touch keeps asking me for my yahoo password anyone know why?
Because Yahoo is messed up. I suspect you have Yahoo mail in your Mail app. Go to settings>Mail>Yahoo and reenter your Yahoo password. You may have to reset the password.

The Touch is functionally a small iPad.

That's true ONLY if you limit yourself to iTMS purchases. iCloud does not store photos or anything else that the device owner created. -
How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?
How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?
With Itunes 9 like earlier versions u have the option to group compilations for browsing, having the effect of not putting a huge list of artists in your view by artist list because they played one song on a compilation you have got. With my old Ipod classic this option was also available through the setting menu. Meaning my ipod exactly mirrored my itunes lists.
I have recently purchased a ipod touch 32 and can find no settings that allow me to do the same. My artist list has risen from 200 to 400 because of this and makes finding albums by artists very annoying.
I have looked on the itunes software and can find no mention of syncing this ability to the ipod either.
Help
MikeYes i do this to group compilations in itunes.
But when i then sync to the ipod touch the albums come up under compilations as desired but the artists also appear in the artist list which is not.
On my old ipod classic it had a setting to group compilations the same as in itunes which would then remove these odd artists from the artist list.
I can find no equivalent setting on the ipod touch
Cheers

I am using IOS 4.1 in Ipod touch. I would like to take my data back using icloud. I am not able to enable icloud in to my ipod touch. please help me for the same. Basically I am trying to take back to upgrade my ios to 5 or 6 version.
You can't back up to iCloud until you update to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to back up your iPod on your computer using iTunes. Update iTunes on your computer to the latest version, then connect your iPod to your computer, open iTunes, if iTunes give you a pop-up asking if you want to update your iPod, decline. Then click on the name of your iPod in iTunes, go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases to transfer any purchased media to your iTunes library. Next, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click on Back Up Now to back up your iPod on your computer.
When it's done backing up, click on Check for Update (or Update) on the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings. Allow your iPod to update, and leave it connected to your computer. At the end, it will restart and give you the option to restore to the iTunes backup you made earlier. Choose this option to restore your backup and sync your apps and other iTuens media to your phone.
This process is outlined in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4972, under "If you are attempting to update using a Mac or PC with which you normally sync". -
My Ipod Touch has been frozen for almost two weeks now. I have truning it off by useing the sleep and top button and it is still not working. I have been pluging it in my laptop and it is sycning but still did noting. What should I do?
It seems as your iOS Software Is most likely corrupt. Try doing a software restore in iTunes by clicking in your iPod and clicking the Restore button. This will restore your iPod to factory settings. So back up your Music, Videos, and purchases before restoring.

TS1398 I forgot my ipod touch's wifi password? Please help me!
I forgot my ipod touch's WiFi password! I have tried everything posted on the internet. Isn't there some way to go through itunes to reset it? Please help me - I want to give it to my 9yr old son!
The wi-fi password has nothing to do with the ipod.
It is the password that you set up on your wi-fi router. -
I plan to loan my iPod Touch to a friend here in the USA for one month to use on his trip to Europe. How can I keep my iTunes content and my account private, but enable him to create his own iTunes account to use on my iPod Touch? Also, do I need to de-register my iPod Touch for all of this to happen--and have him register my iPod Touch in his name for that month he is using it in Europe?

The suggested advice in this support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1478 wasn't a help at all, because the option "enable disc use" in the summary window of itunes doesn't appear.
*From the article*:
Products Affected
iTunes 7 for Mac, iTunes 7 for Windows, iPod nano, iPod shuffle, iPod mini, iPod, iTunes 8 for >Windows, iTunes 8 for Mac
No mention of the Touch, it works differently from other iPods and has no "disk mode" as such.
I think it can be used as a storage device by using a 3rd party App, search the the App Store for such items.
Photos transferred to your Touch via iTunes will be of severely compromised quality i.e 640x480 pixel resolution and file size around 600-700 kb. These can be retrieved, again using a 3rd party application on your computer, such as [Touch Copy|http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy> but you will not get back original quality images.
Good luck,

My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?
Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
*Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
So do not rely on it.<br />
If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system. -
How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ?
How can I set a password for my pictures on iPad Air ? if anyone have my iPad access mail or something I don't want anyone access my photos so how can I set it up.
You can't set a password for the Photos nor Mail apps, you can only set a passcode for your iPad as a whole (via Settings > Passcode).
There are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which you can copy your photos into from the Photos app (and then delete them from Photos), that app allows you (via its settings within the app) to set a password to access it.
For email you could access your email via a browser (and not have your password stored in the browser), or see if there are any email apps in your country's app store which have a password option
