Itunes account different on ipod?

So I was given an ipod touch. My friend bought a bunch of apps (paid and free) and the apple store person put the apps in the ipod for her. Now I'm trying to update the apps but I can't because somebody else's itunes account is signed in to the ipod touch. I created an itunes account and tried syncing the ipod but it didn't work. I didn't do 'sync applications' because I have no applications in my itunes library (my friend bought all the apps) Is there any way I can reset the itunes account on the ipod touch and make those purchased apps belong to my account? I can't ask my friend to ask the apple store person because I've gone back to my home country.. help?

The only way to get the purchased apps to "belong to my account," is to buy them. Obviously, there will be no charge for the free ones.

I have an itunes account. However, I need to copy music onto a different iPod than my own. How do I do that? Do I need to create a separate iTunes account for that iPod?

An account means an iTunes Store account which is an online service. Do you mean that, or do you mean a library on a computer?
iOS devices can only be synced to one iTunes library at a time. You can sync that iPod to your account but it will wipe everything currently on it.

If you use manual syncing, you can sync items from more than one iTunes library to your iPod. (You can sync iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad with only one iTunes library.) When manually managing content, you can add content from multiple libraries to your iPod or iPad. Even when manually managing music, some content may be available from only one library at time. This includes all content on iPhone and video content on iPod and iPad. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12113 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1202
I could post another 2 pages of stuff trying to cover every possible scenario. It would help if you let us know exactly what you want to do. Are you trying to sync just a few songs (like giving them to a friend which is something iTunes is deliberately set up not to do)?

If you are asking how to authorise your iTunes account on that computer, then you do so via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (pressing Alt-S should get the Store menu to appear) - this screenshot is from a Mac, but it should be fairly similar on windows 8 :

Connect the iPad to your iTunes account.

I cannot sign in to my itunes account on my ipod touch.

I cannot sign in to my itunes account on my ipod touch. It takes forever and then says cannot connect "cancel/retry"

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The music on your shuffle will be in the iTunes library it syncs with.

How do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

how do i delete music from my itunes account and my ipod nano 3rd gen

Are you wanting to delete it all or just certain tracks and content?
If it's the latter...
How you delete content from your iPod depends on how it is set up to receive content from your iTunes library whether that be via automatic syncing or manual management.
For automatic syncing, you must reconfigure your settings so that the album/tracks/content you wish to remove is no longer configured to sync to your iPod. For example, if the Sync only checked songs and videos option is enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab, make sure all the tracks for this album do NOT have a tick mark next to them in your iPod. Then resync your iPod with iTunes.
If that isn't the case, you'll want to look at the iPod's Music configuration tab. You can access this tab by selecting your iPod under Devices. This should bring you to theSummary tab over to the right. Look for the Music tab along the top and select it. Here you can configure how and what music syncs to your device. If you make any changes to this tab, be sure to hit the Apply button in the lower right hand corner to sync the updated changes to your device.
Otherwise, if you manually manage your iPod's contents, you must manually remove content from it. You can do this by plugging your iPod in and clicking the small black triangle next to your iPod from under the Devices section in the left hand pane of iTunes. This will open up a submenu of content that is indented underneath the name of your device, so go ahead and click on Music (or whatever content you are wanting to remove). Locate the track or tracks/content you wish to delete. Highlight them and hit the Delete key or choose Edit -> Delete.

How can i transfer all my downloads from my ipod to my ipad2 if i used a different itunes account for my ipod

i am trying to find a way to transfer my Ipod music and pictures to my Ipad2. My Ipod was synced on a different computer and itunes account then my I pad2. How would i save everything without syncing it and losing everything i have?

If the music isn't purchased then you should be fine. Here is an application that will let you transfer the pictures from the iPod into iTunes on the laptop. This has been highly recommended here on this discussion site. There is a demo version that you can download to your laptop to see how you like it.

Can I use 2 different iTunes accounts on one iPod touch?

It is my daughters iPod that is linked to my iTunes account for purchases. I want her to use her own email (or iTunes account) for FaceTime and Messaging. We had this system working at one time, but now her FaceTime and Messaging are linked to my iTunes account.

I recommend that you
Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
and Settings>iCloud if you want her to have separate Contacts Calendar and some other things.
Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.
If you want to use here new ID for purchases note:
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
Also note the 90 day time period specified here. It concerns some iCloud services

Can I download songs from a different itunes account onto my ipod?

Can I download songs from a different ipod account onto my ipod without affecting anything?

Different account or different computer? It is two completely seperate things.
While it is possible to have media on the device from multiple accounts it is not possible to sync with multiple computers.

Can i use one itunes account and 2 ipod toung devices

can i have two cloud with one itunes account?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
To begin with, I would like to try to explain Apple's confusing nomenclature in regard to iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.
So yes, you can use a separate iCloud account on each iPod and a single iTunes account on both of them.

Multiple iTunes Accounts With an iPod Touch

Hi,
Not sure if this is a iPod touch question or an iTunes question. So, I'm gonna ask it here.
I'd like to buy an app that's available in the Japanese iTunes store and not in the US iTunes store.
So, can I create a Japanese iTunes account and use it to buy an app for my iPod without having to start my iTunes library all over from scratch? I don't want to risk losing all my current US iTunes store content and iTunes library.
Will iTunes sync content from two different accounts onto one device (my iPod touch)?
Thanks!

Yes.
Will iTunes sync content from two different accounts onto one device (my iPod touch)?
If that content is in a single iTunes library, yes.
