HT204380 I just purchased an iPod for my 4 yr old grandson so that we can FaceTime. I have the ipad2. How do I set up the iPod so that we can FaceTime? The way I have it now shows me on both so it's a busy signal.

You will probably need to create an apple Id for you grandson, so you can call that ID instead of yours.

I have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipods. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone?

i have an iphone 5s and my kids have ipod touches. How do i set up the ipods to use facetime and messaging without it going through my iphone or rather using my apple id? Is this possible? Does each device need its own apple ID and/or icloud email?

Try unchecking your phone number and email address (if present) under You can be reached by FaceTime (iMessage) at in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime on their devices. Also uncheck their email address (if present) on your phone.
Otherwise have them use separate Apple IDs for these services (tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with a different ID). You can do this and still share the same ID for other services such as iTunes.

I am trying to set up the ipod to my email account and it keeps saying it won't work, even though we have confirmed user name and password. Any advice?

Try deleting the account from the iPod and try reentring all the information again. A lot of times it is easier to reenter the information rather than trying to find and correct the error.
Try Googling for how to setup the email account for your provider on an iPhone. You can try for an iPod Touch but frequently that does not exist.

How Do you set up the IPod Touch to your pc home computer - when it asks for a password - what password is needed?

I just received an IPod Touch for a gift. Have a home computer through Charter. Have wi fi with pc at home. I am unable to get the Ipod to work with the pc and wifi.
Wi fi is on - At choose a Network - Have the option of t.dillow and other.
When i choose tdillow it asks for a password. What password is required?
I cannot get my email either.
How do I get the IPOD to connect to my wifi and enable to use mail through Yahoo account?

You need the password for your network/router. Sometime the dfault password is on a sticker on the router. As the person who controls/set up the router.

ITunes wants me to set up the iPod Touch - but I already have

My daughter has a 4th gen iPod touch. When she got it about 6 months ago, I set it up by connecting to my MacBook Pro. Today I wanted to back it up, which we have never done before. When I connect it to iTunes, the only options I get are to set it up from new or restore it from a backup. I don't have a backup obviously, and if I set it up as new, she will lose all the messages from her friends and the home movies she has made.
Why don't I get the usual options to sync the iPod touch and back it up?

Does the iPod work OK?

Setting up the ipod touch

Is it possible to set up the basic functions without being connected to the net? I'm having to wait two weeks before I can if I can't (the delay being the time taken for the internet connection to be setup!)
i can wait the two weeks for the things like the iTune library and so on, I would just like the organiser parts of it to start with.

I cant even remember if my cable modem was on when I setup mine
it's a music player it should not require the internet for anything

I was setting up the ipod 4th gen that I got my daughter for Christmas, and set the itunes store to restricted, and now I can't get on to add anything. How do i fix this?

Also, do the 4th gens have cameras? I see it in the manual, but there's no app or whatever to access it, and I accidentally 'synched' photos from my computer, and can't get them off! Help!

We are going through same thing and looks like alot of other people also. Seems to me Apple would have invalid email instead of us loosing the gift card all together. Very irratating. Good Luck.

Help, I'm new to the iPod

I bought the iPod nano yesterday and bought the Griffin RoadTrip for the car that charges and has the FM Transmitter. The problem is that when I plug my iPod into it, it charges but won't play over the radio. Yes, I do have my station on the same frequency it shows on the display. Yes, I did hit play on the iPod. I guess my question is, my iPod doesn't play without headphones, but the roadtrip has no connection for my headphone jack, is that the problem, or is there a setting in the iPod I'm missing to get it working. Thanks, I'm still an iPod retard right now trying to figure it out.

Hello moog,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting your nano?

Songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for

when i plug my iPod in a message pops up and says "songs on the iPod can't be synced because of all the playlists selected for syncing no longer exist"
i've read what other people have put on this topic and when i click on the music tab under my iPod nothing happens. please help!
Gateway Windows XP

You get this problem when the option 'Sync Music - Selected playlists' is being used to sync your iPod and then the playlist it has been updating from is deleted. Most people use this setting when the iPod is smaller than the iTunes library. If your library is larger than the capacity of your iPod, iTunes by default makes a new playlist called something along the lines of "Owner's iPod". If you for any reason delete it, you will not be able to sync your iPod.
Open iTunes and create a playlist to update your iPod from, call it -iPod to make it the first playlist in Sources. You can make this a normal playlist and drag whatever you want to it or you can make it a random Smart playlist. If you are making a smart playlist limit it to just less than the size of your iPod (for example 3700MB for a 4G iPod Nano). Now connect your iPod and when it appears in the Source list click on the iPod icon to bring up the preference tabs in the main pane. Go to the Music tab and choose Sync Music and the Selected playlists radio button. Choose the playlist you just made from the selection and click Apply. You can also sync from any existing playlists by choosing the same setting, you just need to make sure that the size of the playlists don't exceed the capacity of your iPod:
iTunes: Creating playlists of your favorite songs
How to create a Smart Playlist with iTunes
To make a random playlist go to File>New Smart Playlist.
Uncheck "Match the following rule"
Check "Limit to" put "3700" in the number box, choose "MB" from the first list box, choose "Random" from the next list box. Check "Live Updating"
When you want to change the selection in the playlist just delete everything in it and it will add a new selection

How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?

How do u get the Ipod touch to group compilations for browsing ?
With Itunes 9 like earlier versions u have the option to group compilations for browsing, having the effect of not putting a huge list of artists in your view by artist list because they played one song on a compilation you have got. With my old Ipod classic this option was also available through the setting menu. Meaning my ipod exactly mirrored my itunes lists.
I have recently purchased a ipod touch 32 and can find no settings that allow me to do the same. My artist list has risen from 200 to 400 because of this and makes finding albums by artists very annoying.
I have looked on the itunes software and can find no mention of syncing this ability to the ipod either.
Help
Mike

Yes i do this to group compilations in itunes.
But when i then sync to the ipod touch the albums come up under compilations as desired but the artists also appear in the artist list which is not.
On my old ipod classic it had a setting to group compilations the same as in itunes which would then remove these odd artists from the artist list.
I can find no equivalent setting on the ipod touch
Cheers

How stop auto update before you insert the ipod

This seems to be a real quandary. sometimes you want to insert your ipod without the whole updating thing taking over you ipod. but I don't think you can change that setting unless the ipod in plugged into computer, and if setting is auto update it just starts. any ideas appreciated. thanks.

thanks Niel, but before I proceed, what exactly happens when you do that, does the ipod not do the auto update? and you can access or update manually?
also, anyway to stop the updating once it starts? thanks

Help setting up an ipod for a gift

i'm purchasing either a nano or an ipod for a friend for christmas and sending it to her in another state. i'd like to set up an itunes account for her with her info originating on my pc, set up the ipod on my pc, add files to the ipod's library and then send it. is this possible? any help would be much appreciated.
nano, or 30g

Go ahead and put the movies on the iPad. However, when the person receiving the gift sets up the iPad in their name, the movies will be erased. So, you could put the movies on a USB flash drive and they could reinstall using the camera connection kit.
How to use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

About viewing images that are not the same dimensions as the iPod screen

I sent some images to my iPod via email. I saved them to my photo library. When I went to look at them, I noticed something odd was happening: my iPod is sort of 'stretching' the images so they fit the entire screen of my iPod, even if that means a) cutting off parts of the image (either top and bottom or the two sides), or b) is stretching the dimensions of the image to fit the screen--I can't tell which is happening, though I think the former.
I can view the image correctly by pinching it a bit, but if I move to another image and come back, it's back to being stretched.
I know that in Photoshop I can add a black boarder (either top and bottom or on the sides), so the image with the border matches the dimensions of the screen, but that seems like a pain in the rear to do with each image. This seems like an odd quirk of the iPod, given that they are trying to use the camera and image viewing as a selling point.
Is there any setting on the iPod so I can keep it from doing this (I noticed that it does this even with photos I take with the iPod camera, because they have slightly different dimensions than the screen)? And if not, does anyone know the ratio (side to top) or resolution (in pixels) of the screen so I can match it.
Thanks, David

So generous people; thank you for your time.
I visited the camera store and we discovered that my camera lcd was set to the maximum brightness level which completely distorted any understanding of my exposure. What I now see on the lcd in terms of ligt and shadow is very similar to what I see on my computer screen.
Maybe you can shed light on this:
I also may need to just upgrade my imac. On the camera store's late model imac my images were tac sharp but on my imac they look quite soft and still have less light.
There is also still some difference in terms of color settings. My camera's colors have a brighter pinkish tone and on the camera store's imac and mine the tone is yellowish orange.
I will try DPReview and Nikoncafe. My first step is to reset my cameras to factory defaults and then upload and compare.
Thank you both for your help
