My 2 sons have ipods. When money is loaded, they both have access to it. How can I get them to have their own accounts so they can't share money?

They need their own iTunes accounts. You have to be at leasty 13 to create an account and you need a unique email address from them. They will need the password for the account that purchased app already in order to update those apps.

HT4436 we have 5 devices on one itunes account how do I give them each their own icloud account and still share the itunes account?

You need a unique AppleID for each iCloud account. So grab some free gmail, hotmail, aol, yahoo or whatever email addresses to make five new AppleIDs. Now, everybody make an iCloud account for themselves, and keep the existing shared AppleID and password just for use in the iTunes and App Stores. You can also each use your own unique AppleIDs to make iMessage accounts and keep those separate as well.

I am running 4 ipod classica through one computer and one itunes account/profile. The ipods belong to me, husband and 2 kids. How can the kids now get their own accounts but keep the stuff I have already downloaded for them? They have their own laptops

I am currently running 4 ipod classics through my own account/profile on itunes. They belong to me, my husband and 2 kids.
The kids are getting older now and have their own laptops. I would like them to have their own itunes accounts as they will be away from home much of the time and will want to make their own puchases.
How can I set them up so that they are independent from my account, but not lose the content that I have downloaded for them over the years? (A lot of content).

You and your husband can share a store account and still have seperate iCloud accounts for your contacts, bookmarks and stuff like that. Click here for instructions to make an apple account without entering a credit card. Make sure you use a different email address for each apple account.
Set up your iPhone/iPad whatever using the new account for iCloud. Then go into settings/store and sign in with your purchasing account, you may need to sign out of the other account. To the best of my knowledge, your household is allowed to share purchased legally, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Once you each have your own devices set to your own accounts you can set them to backup to that account and it will keep all your contacts seperate.

There are actually a few methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer
Just to summarise what's in the link above:
Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries.
Method two is to set your preferences so that either one or both iPods get updated with only certain playlists within one library. If you've had no success with this you can have a look through the guide on this page: Loading songs onto iPod automatically
Another option when using a single library is to set one or both of the iPods to manual update: Managing content manually on iPod
You can read about Windows user accounts here: Using Windows XP User Accounts

I lost my contacts in Outlook 2007 when I began to use the i cloud. How can I retrieve them back into my Outlook 2007?

Are you talking about icloud's emails or those from another service like google or yahoo?
If you log into icloud.com using a computer's browser and go to the email page, you will see what's currently stored in icloud. If they are gone, then it's probably "user error". If your computer has backups, then you should be able to restore the email files back to the computer.

Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

Due to circumstances I have three iCloud accounts, How can I amalgamate them into one iCloud account?

No, unfortunately you cannot merge accounts or transfer any purchased content from one account to another. As I said Apple won't let you do that.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.

iCloud doesn't have anything to do with texts or phone calls. Those are both tied to your phone number and SIM, not to an iCloud account.

Hi, i have deleted accidentally some photos and the trash is empty. How can I recover them? Urgentlyyy

Hi, i have deleted accidentally some photos and the trash is empty. How can I recover them? Urgentlyyy

Which trash is empty? If it's the iPhoto trash, check the System Trash, as files deleted from iPhoto 11 go there. Assuming that's also empty then you have exactly two options:
1. Restore from your back up
or
2. Use a file recovery app such as File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

I would like to use one library but with multiple ipods, but because they are my kids Ipods, and they each have their own gift cards, I'd like to be able to add money to their "profiles" without them having their own account - what is the best way

So here is my delima - I want one Ipod account - because I only want one library - since we all like the same music - but my kids, who have their own IPODS, have gift cards, who want to be able to keep track of their balance without the other child affecting the balance - meaning - each gift card should be seperate and not totalled to the single account - Beacuse the library is fairly large, having three libraries of large amounts would be a waste. I would also like to restrict their purchased to the gift cards only and not my credit card on file. Does this make sense? Once this is resolved, I'm assuming they would use their own playlists to copy their favorites to each Ipod. Or would I set up an account for each child - which I dont want to do, because I dont want them having access to my Credit Card, and only gift card balances. With multiple accounts, I'm assuming that would also build seperate libraries? We also have multiple computers, but I share the library to those computers -
What is the best way? I'd like to be able to add credit to a specific child (birthdays, etc) without the other child being able to access that credit. For simplicity sake.
We are new to IPODS and lack any MAC skills.
Thoughts?

Not going to happen the way you want it to.
When you add a gift card balance to the Apple ID, it's available for the Apple ID.
Probably best to create unique Apple ID's for each... this will also make things easier in the future as purchases are eternally tied to the Apple ID they were purchased with.

For some reason when I uploaded my photos from my i pad i have ended up with doubles and triples of many photos. How can I find them and then delete them?

When I uploaded photos from my ipad to my desktop, for some reason I ended up with numerous doubles and triples. How can I find the duplicate photos and isolate them and then delete them?

Pretty sure they are just jpegs from my canon 7D
How did you get the photos from your Canon into your iPad?

My daughter has a ipod when i set it up i used my info how can i change her ipod

how do i change an ipod email

The easiest way is to restore the device to factory settings and set it up as a new device, and then use her e-mail (you can get her a free e-mail account on either Google G-Mail, or Yahoo,) and her Apple ID. You can get her an ID without using a credit card... See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2534 READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE BEFORE YOU START!!!!!

Most of my iTunes library has disappeard. I cannot find them when I search in the iTunes folder either. How can I get them back?

I had hundreds of songs in my iTunes library, but when I open it now, I have about 40. They were a combination of downloaded songs from the iTunes store and songs loaded from my personal CD collection. I have searched for advice online. I have searched my iTunes folder and my recycle bin, and my songs are no longer there. I did not download a new version or plug in a device. Nothing has changed. Where could my songs be?
