Kids got iPod Touch's for Xmas, they want facetime, do they all require new apple id's and what is the ramification of that?
So I have iTunes figured out when we as a family, have one master account. This allows me to regulate app downloads and music buys because they don;t know my Apple ID password. We all synch to the same Itunes.
Well, this Xmas, they got iPod touches.... They want to use Facetime to talk with their pals. Facetime tells me that I need new Apple ID's - because if I use my own, well, I can't because we have TWO iPod touches now.... Plus, I don't want kids to think I am trying to contact them when its really my kids.
So the question is this, if I make two new apple ID's (for each device) so they can do FaceTime, do we lose the ability to all synch to my itunes (where all their music downloads are, and paid apps, etc). Do they have to give that all up just to use FaceTime? My assumption is multiple apple ID's can't share the same library, but that is way messed up just to utilize one very cool feature.
Ideally, I could make the new apple ID's, but when we synch they could still use my itunes.
I can't be the only parent that has these kind of issues.....
Thoughts?
Figured it out. Thanks.

I have had an itunes account for yearsfor my iphone. Now 2 of my kids got ipod touches and 2 got ipod nanos for Christmas. I can't figure out how to add them on to my itunes account so I can download games and apps that I have previously purchased. Please help!!
For Messages they will each need their own iCloud accounts. You should also enable Restrictions in Settings > General > Restrictions and disable auto-download on the other devices.

iWeb is not working for sending podcasts to iTunes, so I need a new web building tool. What is the closest thing to iWeb that I can use, which also supports podcasts?
There's no reason you can't go on using iWeb for this - with iWeb '08 you have to publish to a local folder (i.e. on your Mac) and then upload the contents of the folder (not the folder itself) to your hosting service: and you have to make sure you enter the new URL in the Publish information or the feed won't work properly; this done, an iWeb podcast should work fine.
Of course there is still the problem that iWeb is not supported and sooner or later a system upgrade may break it. You could look at RapidWeaver: you can make podcasts with that, though the last time I looked into that - which was admittedly some time back - I didn't feel it was ideal for this. There are lots of other podcast creation programs or services around. WordPress is OK but it may be a bit of a steep learning curve: Libsyn is an online service that seems to work reliably. Blogger writes messy feeds but does usually work. Podcast Maker used to work well - I used it myself a few years back - but it rather looks as if it's gone moribund and it may not be reliable with Lion/Mountain Lion, so you would want to check into that. -
On my iPod touch I can see my friends on FaceTime but they can not see me it's making me mad someone please help me and I have it on too.
Try:
- 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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- 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.

The app starts to appear, and immediately stays in "waiting". Never does go further than this.

I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the 1 year limited warrenty cover it?
If you are in the US you can see if there is a genius bar by going to http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar and then click on Make a Reservation at the top and you can search state, city and see how far they are from you.

My children just got iPods touch. I registered them on my account so they can have acces to my I tunes Acc. Now they have all my list of contacts receive my messages have my music my pics, also when they install an app like pandora they have all my stations, things that they don't want. How can I fix this.
As for iMessage, you do Settings -> Messages (scroll down) -> where it says iMessage, turn the switch to off.
As for pictures, you do Settings -> iCloud -> Photo Stream -> My Photo Stream -> turn switch off.
As for apps, you do Settings -> iTunes & App Stores (scroll down alot) -> Music, Apps, Books are all swtiched off.
If you want to the delete the music, you go onto the music app and slide your finger from right to left on the song. -

I received what appears to be a reconditioned iPod Touch 4th for Christmas. How do I change the Apple ID on the device to my ID so I can use my iTunes account? Thanks for any help/
It would probably be best to attach the iPod to a computer and restore it. This way you'll know it's wiped clean. Then, when you start up the iPod it will ask you for your Apple ID.

Exchanging a brand new Ipod touch 5g for a different color.
I just got a ipod touch 5g for christmas and we bought it from a apple store and the employee gave me the wrong color, can i exchange it for a different color?, it hasnt been opened and i have the receipt.
Go as soon as possible and ask to change it.
According to the general rules you have at least 14 days after the date on your receipt.
Some Countries have a longer time for Xmas. -
hello. So I have used my iPod touch 4g for 2 years now and need to change the battery. My question is: will I lose everything I have on my iPod like my music,pictures and apps if I change the battery on my iPod touch 4g?
Thanks for answerIf you go to Apple, they will not replace your battery, but exchange your iPod for a refurbished iPod of the same model with a new battery. Therefore you will lose everything that is not backed up. If you change it yourself or have a third party change it, you will most likely not lose anything (but still best to make a backup as lllaass suggested).
