My daughters ipod picked up my id when she plugged into my computer
I tried to set up my grand daughters new iPod touch on my computer. It now has my apple id, how can I change that to the id I created for her?
Thanks for any help offered
Unless you make a separate user account for her to log into, then overtime she plugs into the computer this same problem will occur. You both can't use the same iTunes account with two different Apple IDs.
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

I downloaded tv shows from iTunes onto my iPad, but when I plugged into my computer it erased them from the iPad and they didn't get transferred to the computer. How do I get them back?
First, is your iTunes account on your computer, the account you set up your iPad with and the one you sync regularly with? If yes, just reconnect your iPad to your computer, via USB and open iTunes. After your iPad syncs, and you see the message that it's OK to disconnect, don't disconnect. Click once on the iPad from the left side of your iTunes screen. This will open your iPad in iTunes. You would then click on Videos and you'll see the TV shows you downloaded. You can choose individual shows, or choose to sync all videos to your iPad. After you've moved what you wanted back, click apply, then sync again and you should be fine.

IPod 3rd gen. powers down when I plug into computer
I just got a used iPod 3rd generation with 10 gigs. I completely charged its battery. Then I plugged it into my computer to transfer my songs. As my computer was starting to process the new hardware, the "your battery is low, please connect to a power source" popped up. The iPod subsequently shut down. I thought perhaps the iPod needed to be charged again, to "wake it up" or something. I did just that. Then I plugged it in again. This time, iTunes recognized it. I clicked the "sync" option. Within moments of doing so, the iPod gave me the same low battery warning and shut down. About 30 seconds after each incident I could turn my iPod back on with the batter meter at full charge. My iPod gives the same warning and powers down every time I connect my iPod to my computer. The connection lasted a couple times long enough to sync about 10 songs. I have tried plugging into different USB ports, charging between each incident. I have no idea what the problem is unless the whole iPod is screwed up and I was gyped out of $60.
Thanks, Mitch
I charged it from a wall charger w/o the USB adapter, so I'm good there.
For the 2nd question: if my battery was bad, why does the iPod say it has low battery and shut down while it is connected to the computer, when, directly afterward, I can restart the iPod and it will display either a full or three-quarters full battery? -
I'm trying to install a samsung series 7 750 monitor for use with my mini mac. When I plug the computer to the monitor I get a blank screen, no picture. When not plugged in to the computer the screen is black and a square displAys that says analog, HDMI 1, HDMI 2. Any ideas?
Hey there saraszeg,
It sounds like you are trying to use an external monitor with your Mac Mini but cannot get more than a gray screen. You can use the following steps to help troubleshoot the Mac side of things here:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1573
Remove all display cable extenders, KVM switches, or other like devices and retest to determine if the issue is resolved.
Try unplugging the video adapter or cable and then plug it back in.
If more than one video adapter is in use (or "daisy-chained"), troubleshoot by using only one adapter.
Example: A mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter connected to a DVI to HDMI adapter is an unsupported configuration because there is a series of adapters in use.
If available, try using a different display and or adapter (or use a different connector by using DVI instead of VGA, for instance).
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

I just purchased an IPAD2 and I love it. It's WIFI only, and I want to access the Internet when I plug in to my computer since I don't have 3G capability. But when I try and connect it won't allow. Is this standard? Am I preventing from high speed internet access on my IPAD 2 even when my computer is connected to the Internet? Any help would be much appreciated
You cannot access the internet through the connection to a computer hooked up to the internet.
It may be possible to configure your PC as a WiFi access point. Check your PC documentation for its capabilities.
Or, purchase a WiFi router and hook it up to your ISP modem. You can hardwire your PC to the modem.
Good WiFi routers can be purchased for $30-$40 dollars if you shop around. -
