Is it safe for my daughter to lend her old iPod to a friend?

My daughter wants to lend her older ipod to a friend for the summer. Is this safe? What if he uses it unwisely? Will it come back to haunt my daughter?

Only safe way OS to do a omplete erase first...you have to remove all trace to her first.  Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings

  • My daughter gave me her old ipod.

    My daughter gave me her old ipod. I have downloaded itunes to my window 7 computer. When I try to sync the ipod by connecting it to my computer the ipod does not show up in the itunes drop down menu. Is thid because the ipod was named by my daughter? Does she need to deauthorize it from her Mac computer?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "drop-down window", but your daughter doesn't need to do anything for you to claim and use her iPod. If you have iTunes 11, the iPod should appear as a button in the upper-right of the iTunes window, e.g.:
    If you have an earlier version of iTunes, you may need to update, but normally the iPod would appear in the sidebar under the "Devices" header.  If it does not appear in either place, this support article may help:

  • My daughter gave me her old ipod nano is there a way where i can transfer thie to my name

    My daughter gave me her old ipod is there a way i coild change the name to me?

    Do you mean change the name of the iPod?
    Renaming an iPod, iPhone, iPad or Mac
    Or do you mean registering the device to you?
    Get the serial number off the back. Log in to http://supportprofile.apple.com, click Add product and enter the serial number. If it says it is registered to another ID have your daughter sign in at the above webpage and remove it.

  • My daughter gave me her old iPhone 3G. I started loading my info in before hitting the "reset" option.  It is now trying to sync her address book to mine on the old phone.  The reminder screen gives no options for cancel or delete.  Please advise.

    My daughter gave me her old iPhone 3G.  I started loading my own info before doing a complete "Reset".  My iMac at home now give me a message that it is time to Sync 432 Contacts.  They happen to be my daughters contacts. The window has no Cancel or Delete option.  How do I get rid of or stop the Sync other than let it go and then start deleting them?  Help!  Ron

    or... put your photos in "My Pictures" in My Documents, and viola, itunes syncs it to the iphone. only one sentence needed =/
    maybe im missing your point here, the long paragraph is mindboggling

  • How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account?

    How do I set up a new Apple ID and iTunes account for my daughter's MacBook, but let her keep the current content of my iTunes account? (We currently share the same Apple ID and iTunes account). Hope someone can help... Thanks

    Discussions on using purchases from multiple AppleIDs in one iTunes library - https://discussions.apple.com/message/19543804
    As I mentioned earlier, the main time when this becomes an issue is if you need to do something involving associating a computer with a particular AppleID.  Careful management of your collection should minimize this situation.
    iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 -  In connection with, "When you turn on iTunes Match or Automatic Downloads, or when you download past purchases on an iOS device or computer, that device or computer becomes associated with your Apple ID." "Your Apple ID can have up to 10 devices and computers (combined) associated with it. Each computer must also be authorized using the same Apple ID. Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days." - Additionally instructions for "Removing an associated device or computer from an Apple ID"
    So the first account is really "yours" and you are setting her up with her own account?  It helps to know this because if both are "hers" then there isn't an issue with her having full access to both accounts.  If in 10 years she moves 2000 miles away and she is pretty much independent then you may not want her to have full access to your AppleID just so she can authorize a device.

  • I bought an ipd shuffle for my daughter. I have old songs from frostwire that I downloaded on the shuffle.  When I try to play the songs, I get "Please use Itunes to sync music".  What does that mean?

    I bought an ipod shuffle and downloaded old limewire songs onto it. The ipod says "Please use itunes to sync music".  What does that mean? Do I have to download from Itunes only?  thanks,  Jester

    Dear jester,
    Apple created iTunes to try and stop piracy, and if you look at the lime wire site, it says they were shut down for piracy.
    You will have you buy all the music through iTunes or you can download music to iTunes from a CD.
    I hope this help you.

  • Is Fan Control Safe for your MacBook Pro?

    Im just wondering if Fan Control is safe for your MacBook.
    does anyone here have an experience using it?

    smcFanControl works fine. It won't hurt anything. You can't slow the fans down below the factory default setting.

  • Can I transfer purchases from my account to a new one for my daughter?

    Currently I home share my account with my daughter who is now old enough to have her own account. I want to set up an Apple ID in her name, transfer all of her music and apps and her ipod from my account to this new one on her own laptop. Can anyone please tell me (simply - cos I'm old!) how to do it. Obviously, all of these purchases were made under my ID so is it possible to transfer them to her? Any help gratefully received!

    On the other hand, you can use one Apple ID for iCloud and another for store (iTunes, App Store) purchases. Depending on what you mean to include in "content," that could help.

  • Ok so we bought an ipodtouch for my daughter and when she connected to the computer all of a sudden she lost all her pics and she can no longer connect to the app store on  her ipod.. any suggestions why and what can be done?

    ok so we bought an ipod touch for my daughter and when she connected it to the computer after she downloaded itunes, she was asked if it was her ipod or a new one, so she clicked on her ipod and lost all her recent pics plus is unable to locate the app store on her safari on her ipod touch. any suggestions as to what went wrong or what should be done ? should we restore or what?
    much appreciated if there is anyone else who had this happen to them.

    - The iPod got erased since it sounds iTunes identified that the iPod has been synced with another computer and she said yes to making this computer her syncing computer. It could also she restored the iPod from the backup of another iPod, iPhone or iPad that was in iTunes. If in iTunes you go to Preferences>Devices is there a backup listed for her iPod with a date/time when she first connected the iPod to the computer. If so then restore the iPod from that backup.
    iOS: How to back up
    Note synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup,
    You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
      Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Regarding the App store. The App store is not in Safari. It is a separate app. Also, could the Apple store be hidden by Restrictions? Settings>General>Restrictions. Further, can you find the App store via the Spotlight search on the iPod?

  • I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad.  We both have our own itunes accounts and music match wont let me put music on hers. how do i get around this?

    I have an ipad and just bought a second one for my daughter and she wants all my music on her ipad.  All the music is under my itunes account yet she has her own itunes account so she can have her own apps and purchase apps with gift cards (She's only 9)
    I subscibe to music match under my account but it wont let me put my music on her ipad under hers or even my itunes account.  I get some sort of 90 day error message.  How do i get around this so I can let her have my music on her ipad?

    iTunes Match is not sharable across Apple IDs. The best way to get the music on her iPad is to leave hers signed into her Apple ID on the iTunes Store and sync via USB.

  • I have a early 2011 Macbook pro 13 inch, I'm running Lion 10.7.4, and i want to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion. Is it safe for my computer or are people experiencing problems with displays and Battery life?

    Do Not post stuff about how Airplay doesnt work, because i dont have Apple TV and dont need to hear about it.

    If you have an external drive equal to or larger than your internal HD, clone your internal to it with either Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Test the clone to make sure it's bootable. Then upgrade either one. Try it out first.

  • HT4009 Hi I purchased a game app for my daughter (6 years) and noticed 2 charges of £20.98 off this app she doesn't know and I don't know what this is for as it was a free app.

    Hi I purchased a game app for my daughter (6 years old ) littlest pet shop and been charged for 2 bills of £20.98 she doesn't know and I don't know how this has happened as it was a free app ?

    Hi
    Alot of free apps offer in app purchases which has probably happened here, things for extra points scores etc etc are offered for prices which is how the app can afford to be free via the charge in other purchases within the game.
    These are the sorts on in app purchases in littlest pet shop may have been one of these?
    If you are 100% sure that no purchse was made get in touch with apple they should be able to tell you what was purchased and when then you can take it from there?
    Hope this helps

  • I created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID?

    I have created an Apple ID for my daughter with her own gmail address as the primary email address, but I want her Apple ID and primary email address to be an iCloud email address. How can I do this? I can't set up an icould email address for her without first creating an Apple ID right?
    I'm not good with computers so please explain in simple way...:)
    I also wonder what the best way is to set up accounts for children in a family. I dont want them to be able to purchase apps etc through the parents accounts, also some things we like to share as a family and others we don't want to share. Is there any good. clear, simple explanation from Apple Support about these issues? Or best to go to Apple store and go to genius bar or one to one advise?
    thanks

    You can set up an iCloud account which makes the iCloud email address you choose the Apple ID and thus the login for it:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/22283348#22283348
    though I have to say I think it's more sensible if the ID is another address, both for security reasons (so people don't know what the login is) and as a contact address from Apple if the account were to stop working and they needed to contact you. So personally I would to to System Preferences, enter the GMail address which is an ID, and then choose a nerw @icloud.com address.
    If she has her own iCloud account she will need either her own computer or her own user account on your Mac to be able to make use of it. You should note that under Apple's terms of use Apple IDs are only available to children of 13 and over.
    As to purchasing apps, this is nothing to do with iCloud: it's iTunes, and the login can be different. So you can all sign into the same iTunes account but have different iCloud accounts. Or she can have her own iTunes account if she is of suitable age (credit card needed for purchasing apps).
    If you have other children you should be aware that any one Mac or device can create only three iCloud accounts - this is tied to the serial number, not the user account, and once reached cannot be bypassed. You can of course sign into an iCloud account created on another device.
