Multiple Apple IDs supported on iPod 5th Gen?

For a while, my son has been using an old iPhone 4 of ours for an iPod. The iPhone was synced to my iTunes. He's getting a 5th Gen iPod touch for Christmas. I'd like to set his device up with his new Apple ID (I set up for family sharing), but I'd also like him to be able to maintain progress in some of his games (so plan to restore his new device from backup). Will this limit his ability to use his own Apple ID when downloading new games /content? I would like him to be using his own going forward. Thanks!

Yes. He will however, have to sign your accout to update any apps purchased with your account
- 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.

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod 5th Gen is stuck on the apple logo with the loading bar not moving

So I recently decided to restore my iPod 5th gen to factory settings, because I plan on selling it to a friend. When I chose the option to erase all data and reset settings, the iPod turned off, and then came to the black background with the apple logo in the middle. After watching it turn on and off, and not do anything for at least an hour, I searched for answers on the forum. I found that I should reset my iPod by holding the center button and the top right button at the same time for at least ten seconds, or until the device shuts off and then the apple logo is visible again. After I did this, once again, the black background with the apple logo popped up, this time with a loading bar beneath it. After an hour or two of checking on the progress bar, I noticed that it had not made any progress whatsoever. It had not moved an inch since I first started it. What do I do?

My iPod dispalys this message: "Connect to a computer. Use iTunes to restore." When I connect to a computer, iTunes doesn't recognise it. The iPod 5th Gen does not work at all. How do I fix my iPod without losing any data?

My iPod dispalys this message:

I have seen the Apple webpage suggesting the "five R's" (including restore). Before doing anything, I want to be sure that restoring or any other action is not going to delete or risk my data.
I would be very grateful if anyone can suggest a fix for this problem, in a way that will not risk my data.
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a hard reset with the iPod still connected to your PC? Have you tried multiple USB ports, preferably high powered USB 2.0 ports?
To do a hard reset, first make sure the hold switch is in the Off position, then press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Have you also worked through each and every single troubleshooting suggestion in this Apple support document?

IPod 5th Gen constantly resets and is not detected

My iPod 5th Gen erased all my music and constantly resets when plugged in. I've searched far and wide through support to no avail so I look to the community to aid my quest to load music to my iPod again. Thanks in advance for the help!
Situation:
- music and all data erased suddenly and is currently in factory settings
- when iPod is plugged in to computer, the iPod screen shows (in order):
     ° "connected, eject before disconnecting" (~5 seconds)
     ° off screen, completely blank (~1 second)
     ° apple logo appears as if restored (~5 seconds)
     ° repeat perpetually
Attempted Remedies and Scenarios:
- restore iPod via select / menu buttons
- try running Disc Mode via select / play buttons
- restore iPod via iTunes (cannot attempt because it is not detected under devices)
- reformat and erase all data in iPod via iTunes (cannot attempt because it is not detected under devices)
- reformat iPod via Disk Utility (iPod is not detected on Mac so cannot select)
- attempted all of the above with the following variables:
     ° with pc running Windows 7, iTunes current
     ° with Mac mini running Mavericks, iTunes current
     ° with Macbook Air running Mavericks, iTunes current
     ° tried all USB ports on all above computers
     ° tried 2 separate 30-pin USB cables (both USB cables work with my iPhone 4s)
     ° iPod is fully charged
     ° restart all computers

Hi everyone.. just found the solution... conveniently after I start a thread. Turns out that my iPod nano had converted all 7.3GB of my 8GB into "Other" space and reset all my settings.
Solution is as follows:
- run disc mode while plugged-in (running Macbook Air)
- restore dialog box appears via iTunes while in disc mode
- restore iPod nano
- upload music
- enjoy

IPod 5th Gen says it is synchronizing, but it doesn`t. What can I do?

I have been gifted a used iPod 5th Gen, and at first everything worked fine, it charges, when connected to my computer, the first sync was also fine. Now I have added some new songs to my iTunes and want to put them also on the iPod.
Here comes the problem:
when I connect it to the computer, it starts charging, it also says, it is synchronizing, but only for a few seconds.. The new songs are not on the iPod.
Tried to set it back, but the problem is still there..
What can I do?

Hi 747er,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you have an iPod nano that you would like to add more music to from your computer, but the syncing finishes without moving the music to your iPod. In this situation, I would recommend reading over the attached article that explains how to sync your content, to ensure that your sync settings are correct.
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod with iTunes using USB - Apple Support
Best regards,

how do i unlock a ipod 5th gen that has activation on it and i got it with a broken screen and repaired in now it asks for a icloud sign in

There's no way around activation lock. If you purchased this from someone else you'll have to contact them and have them remove it from their account as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4515. Otherwise you won't be able to use it.

Ipod 5th Gen 60Gb keeps resetting and... (please read)

Hi everyone.
My ipod 5th gen 60Gb keeps resetting itself when plugged to the wall charger.
Once it starts again it gives me the sad face and the "Very Low Battery" screen.
Tried to reset it and i gets to the screen that tells me to connect to itunes for restore.
When i do that itunes won't see my ipod.
How can i fix it? How do i get to finally restore my ipod? Is that an hardware problem? I did replace the battery and it finally has power for hours but i still have this tooth to pull out.
Can anybody help me please with some suggestions/solutions?
Your help would be really appreciated! Thank you!

I forgot to say: When i plug it it it gives me the apple for 5 - 6 seconds, the the SAD FACE with the link to the apple support page, then the "Very Low Battery" screen, then it restarts again and it does the same thing over and over again.
I can put it in disk mode, yes it will charge but if i attempt to plug in to the USB2 port (rear) of my computer with itunes open, it doesn't get recognized.
The hardware management of windows sees the ipod once i put it in disk mode. Then after 30 secs more or less it restarts and windows tells me the ipod device has problems.
Help PLEASE!!
