Re-set i pod touch's wi-fi password

I purchased a i pod touch for my son.  I wanted to charge and set up for xmas.  When I plugged it into my computer for set up it linked the wi-fi to my sons account that he had when he had a nano.  we do not remember the password. so now I cant download apps for him.  How do I re-set for a new password?

The Nano doesn't have Wi-Fi. Are you looking to reset the password to your router or your Apple ID to make iTunes purchases?

  • I POD Touch Frozen says needs password to sync?????

    Hey everybody, I love my Itouch the same as everybody here. Its a sexy piece of equipment but as things get more sophisticated so does the risk of problems increase. I've found myself in a situation I have yet to solve. I was using my wifi downloading some music and a few apps. After the second app began downloading, my Touch froze. I did a hard reset thinking there would be no problem. Instead it rebooted with the apple Icon and has been stuck on this for over 3 days now. I've tried everything to trying factory restore, hard reset, draining the battery (EVERYTHING). I went on a forum and they did mention that downloading apps off wifi can cause a freeze. My main issue is trying to unlock my Touch again. I have movies and apps worth quite a bit of money on it and I dont want to lose them. The computer detects the device but it states that it cant sync my Touch because it needs a password to unlock it. But I cant put in a password because the Touch is frozen! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP, ANY SUGGESTIONS???

    I'm not sure why you would be unable to do a restore unless it asks for a password for that as well, but if you cannot restore the device I don't think we can help you.
    Restoring the device is really our last ditch effort for fixing these kinds of issues on the iTouch; if that option is not available then you'll probably have take the device to an Apple Store to see what they say.... I don't think there's anything else to try.

  • How do I set up a new e-mail address on my i pod touch

    Please can anyone advise on how to set up a new e-mail address on my i pod touch.
    I have recently changed internet provider and have made the changes in Apple Store and that is working fine with new password but I can't access the Apps Store on i pod as it is still showing my old e-mail address.

    Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sing i with new one.
    Also did you create a new Apple ID or just edited the original ID?
    Note:
    - 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.

  • I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried?

    I bought my I pod touch 3-4 months ago and I got this message all of a sudden, it said something along the lines of provisonal complete_Distrib... will expire in 30 days. What is this it's under setting-general-Profile should I be worried? Should I just let it expire.

    Unless you have a company or school iPod, that profile was installed by an app you installed. It is likely that the app will no longer function when that date is reached. You can Google the name of the profile and that may provide some more information.

  • My I Pod touch....after charging it...asked me for a pass code..I have owned it for 4 years now...I have never set up a Password to turn it on...suddenly It is asking me for one...does anyone know about this problem?...now It is disabled...please help

    Cannot open my Ipod touch...never set it up to open with a password...suddenly it is asking for one...Now it is disabled,can anyone help...??

    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • I have an i pod touch and just recieved an i pad one from a friend.  would like to transfer data from touch to pad.  i pad is set to factory settings.

    I  have an i pod touch and have just recieved an i pod one from a friend.  it is at factory settings - but i would like to transfer data from the i touch to the new i pad - can't seem to do that.  when i go to i tunes to restore - it just wants to restore the blank i pad.  any suggestions?  Thanks

    You need to backup the Touch to your computer and then Restore from that backup with the iPad. This will only work in the Touch is running 5.1.1 or earlier.

  • I have two questions and appreciate anyones help, First I can not seem to copy music from a legitimately purchased CD into my iTunes library or i pod, can anyone help me with this? it used to work. i have i pod touch and second-.

    Thank you for any help I appreciate it. Apple products came highly recomended to me, and I have been largely happy with my i phone, i pod, i pad mini and macbook. I admit I tunes always confused me, it is so hard to copy things back and forth from computer to device or vice versa. Most importantly my partner has given me a set of CD with audio books, legitimate CD's not burned copies, and I wish to play them on my i pod touch. I have donethis before with CD''s, however now I look i see all the songs and audio books from CD's have been removed from my device after synch with my itunes on my macbook??? and I can no longer cooy the new CDs on to there? i try put them in the library, and they show up but they are not in black printing like the other songs, they are a faded grey color. They play on the mac book in itunes, so i know they are THERE, they just wont go on my device??? What am I doing wrong and why did all my other ones turn to grey gaded text and go off my i pod.
    Furthermore, i thank anyone who takes time to help me, it isnt your job, it is apple's job, but they want me to pay forty bucks for the priviledge of contacting them for help because my warranty expired !! They obviously did something with a new update of their i tunes, there should be NO DIFFICULTY copying audio books i legally own the CD for onto my i pod, why is it so impossible? I have asked my father, my brother, my flat mate, no one can work it out, so its not just that im an idiot.
    People warned me that apple does things like this, makes stupid programs like i tunes, that make nothing but trouble so you have to pay to ask for help, and make it so you have to buy everything from their library not on CD. I woudl buy from them if they had the audio books and songs I wished to purchase but they don't always have what i want. And if they did why shoudl i pay AGAIN when i paid for the CD already , i paid for the I pod, i legally own them both so why can i not put my own music on there??? It makes me miss my simple MP3 player where i just plugged it to my computer and copy/paste. It really makes me wonder why when i POD is so much more expensive why its so much more trouble and you have to pay to ask for help??? I really have enjoyed my macbook (After being windows used all my life), i love my i pad and i phone, and until now i adored my i pod, but if it's not going to let me listen to my own music and audio files i may as well throw it in the trash and go get a mp3 player, and warn everyone I know.     If there IS a way to copy my own music to the device then WHY IS IT SO HARD?? Just to make people pay to ask for help or what?
    I am a loyal apple customer, All my devices are apple and until now i have been happy and willing to pay more for a good product. But i tunes is ridiculous! It's already synched things i didnt want synched and deleted things i didn twant deleted, and thats fine i told myself maybe im too dumb and dont get it. buT i've been trying all week and asked other peopel and still cant get this simple task done, and after purchasing their devices and recommending them to my friends, its a slap in the face to say they wont even let me ask a support question without paying forty bucks!  Thanks for nothing apple.
    A very unhappy customer-- not just that i cant pplay my music and audio books, but that i cant even contact anyone for help without paying after i purcahsed four different products off them in the two years!

    The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
    It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

  • How do I get rid of a previous apple i.d. so that I can have the same one on my I Phone and my I Pod Touch

    Previously I had an Apple ID with my I Pod Touch using an old e-mail address with @gmail.com.  I just recently got the I Phone 5 and set it up using my new apple ID with an @hotmail.com.  How can I change the I Pod Touch to the new e-mail address so that the music from my I Pod Touch can be put on my new I Phone.

    iTunes/App store purchases are locked to the account that purchased them. You have to log the iPod into the account that purchased them to sync them to your iPod. To change go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores and sing out and sign back in.
    iTunes on the computer also has to be logged into the account.

    Delete your account in 1. "Settings > iCloud" + 2. "Settings > Messages > Send & Receive" + 3. "Settings > FaceTime", but still let them using your account for iTunes and app purchases in "Settings > iTunes & App Stores". Of course, please make sure that they do not know your password to set up your account for iCloud again or purchase anything alone.

  • Volume to low on my I-Pod Touch

    How do i Increase the volume on my I-Pod Touch other than on the unit. Is there an app for this? Too low.

    Purchase and use a set of amplified speakers.
    If you are using headphones, some are louder than other.
    Also go to Settings>Sounds and see if a Volume Limit is set. It applies only to headphones.
    Further, if the iPod was officially sold in the EU, they require a lower max volume from the headphones jack that others countries.
