Putting Existing Ipod on new computer, new account?

hi,
Up until now, my daugher has shared my Apple id (as she is only 11), and I have uploaded her ipod on my computer (different library , so we have our own music)
She now has her own laptop, and I want to put her itunes on her computer...so
1. Can I put her ipod on the new computer BUT..Set up her own apple id,..so that she is no longer sharing my account? - THIS ONE WOULD BE GREAT
2. Can I transfer the music easily enough from her ipod touch to her computer?
Hope someone can help, as with three kids and 2 adults its getting rather crowded on this computer,...so anyway to get it off this computer (and get it on her own account), would be great
(Please bear in mind I am a technophobe, so please make any instructions in simple language for a simple mum.)
Thanks in advance for any help
Rach

hi, thanks for that - so just so I am clear (remember I am a numpty with these things) - I can transfer her existing library to the new computer using one of those options on the link..
BUT Reading other bits, she has to keep using my account? - as if I set her a new account up, then she will lose any purchases...or is there any way to save them and then put them on a new account? (she does not have that many as it is mainly CDs she has one, onyl a few purchased aps)
If she decides she wants her own id, and she has to load cds up the old fashioned way, - Then will her existing Ipod Touch let her do this ? 0r do I have to remove her ipod from my account, before it will let her start again? (ie just like if she bought a 2nd hand one for example)

Existing ipod on new pc

How do i sync an existing ipod to itunes on a new pc. I have just acquired a new laptop, but have no access to my old pc and hence previous itunes library.
Having downloaded itunes on my laptop, it will only list songs bought on itunes, and any songs imported by cd since will not go onto my ipod.
How do i sync my existing ipod without wiping the 1100 songs already on my ipod?

This is one of the many reasons that maintaing a backup is basic.
Just use your backup copy to put everything onto the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to backup (terrible idea) then you can transfer itunes purchases from your ipod: Without syncing - File>Transfer Purchases
The ipod touch is NOT a backup device and the sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Brand New iPod- Brand New Account- Could Not Sign In An Unknown Error Has Occurred

Just got home with a brand new iPod touch from the Apple Store. iOs 6.0.1
Set up a brand new Apple ID and iCloud account. Verfied and confirmed the account via email on the iPod. iPod has not been attached to a computer.
I am attempting to download some free apps from the App Store and I get the following error:
Could Not Sign In An unknown error has occurred.
I went into Settings/iTunes & App Store and attempted to enter my Apple ID and Password. I get the same error:
Could Not Sign In An unknown error has occurred.
I clicked on Forgot Apple ID or Password? I then select Enter Your Apple ID. I go through the Password Retrieval process in iForgot. I select Answer Security Questions. I verify my date of birth. I correctly answer my Security Question. I attempt to enter the same password I already have (in an attempt to eliminate the scenario where my password may have been mistyped). I get the following message:
The password specified has been used in the past year. Please select another.
Now I know that the password I have been entering in the App Store and in Settings is correct becasue I just set up the new account and have only had one password.
I cancel out and close the Safari iForgot window.
I go back to the App Store and attempt to login using my correct Apple ID and an intentionally mistyped password. I get the following message:
Your Apple ID or password is incorrect.
Now I know the Apple Store does indeed recognize my correct Apple ID/Password combo, otherwise I would get the same Unknown Error message.
I have attempted to force quit all apps, reboot, re-try and reboot ad nauseum, but to no avail.
So, someone at Apple, tell me, what the heck is going on? How do I proceed?

I've just found the fix!!!!!! I downloaded itunes to my home PC and logged in using my newly created account, a message came up saying that i've not used this account yet with itunes and I need to confirm settings. It basically took me through my credit card information and personal details (strangely it wanted my title as a required field, yet on the ipad setup it didn't - maybe check this field is filled out in your account settings). Then it gave me a message saying I was ready to use the account. I logged into my ipad and all was good - literally did it 2 seconds after seeing the message on my PC. I hope this helps you also ;-)

Set up the second exactly the same way as you set up the first. If iTunes is already installed, it doesn't need to be installed again.

Existing IPod and new PC - How can I copy the data on my IPod onto new PC

I have hundreds of songs and photos on my IPod Touch, but the PC that I used to load them from has "died" and I cannot get access the Library's that I created on the new PC (using Vista).
As most of the songs were copied from CD's (some of which I don't have anymore), can someone advise how to "copy: or synchronize what I have on the IPOd with my new PC?
Should I create new "lists"?
What will happen if I download some songs / albums and try to synchronize them onto my IPod?

i used something called Senuti, its free to download

when you plug you ipoid in your computer, make sure that iTunes is not set up to sync it automatically.
then connect your ipod up to your computer and run the Senuti programme

Putting 3 ipods on one computer, help!!!

I already have my ipod nano on my computer, and it works fine. How do I get my other two daughter's ipod nano's on my computer. My daughter already registered and downloaded songs on itunes, but it does not have her name under devices, and I cannot and do not know how to get the music to her ipod. It does not automatically go on hers, but only mine, please help me, I have been trying since before christmas!!!

If I'm reading your information correctly, your daughter's ipod is not showing up under devices in itunes. If the ipod is not seen in iTunes or by your computer, then you can not put music onto the iPod. The following links are troubleshooting steps. The first is for the iPod seen by the computer, but not in iTunes.

Then 2nd link is for the iPod not being seen in My Computer.

If you have a 1st generation ipod and your daughter has a newer iPod, you will have to update your iTunes to 7.0.2 version. That can be downloaded (if necessary), at www.apple.com/itunes/download.

Can I put my ipod on a computer that already has another ipod on it without doing any damage?

My ipod got the message "iTunes has deteced an ipod that appears to be corrupted......"
I did everything suggested and nothing helped. My ipod was working perfectly prior to my attaching it to the computer, which itunes didn't recognize.
I reset everything, the ipod is now empty, and still the computer won't recognize it.
Can I connect this to another computer that already has an ipod associated with it without causing any problems to the owner's ipod or the music libarary?
If that computer recognizes the ipod, then my problem lies in my computer and not the ipod.
Thanks

It should work because I have 2 iPods connected to my iTunes and everything syncs perfect most of the time and with no corrupted sign, maybe it's your computer. iTunes is'nt the best either so it may also be iTunes that has the problem.

How do I swap payments from one account to another. I've managed to block one of my iTunes accounts due to not knowing security questions. However I have 40£ on old iTunes account and now want it on my new account?

I have £40 on my old account but want to put it on my new account. So I don't lose the money. Can't so it very frustrating.

You can't transfer an acocunt's balance to another account.
You might be able to re-enable that account via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it
For the security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also use this link i you can't get your account enabled via the above)
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use
