Sold iPod Touch, buyer says it's asking for my password to purchase. Help!
So I just sold my iPod Touch because I got a new iPhone 3GS. I sold it on eBay and the winner just emailed me saying that she can't purchase apps or podcasts because it's asking for my Authorization and Password. I did a restore twice before I shipped it, but I guess that didn't do all I needed it to do. So what do I tell her to do? Any help would be greatly appreciative.

don't give her those details.
tell her to connect in +recovery mode+ (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808) and restore as a new iPod. that will delete everything on the Touch and let her set it up as her own.

When i try to put apps on my ipod touch it says it not authorized for this computer and to go on the website and do it. but i dont know how?
Hello Bobbie,
Have you authorized your iTunes library yet to play and sync your iTunes purchases? To do this, head to the Store drop down menu and choose Authorize This Computer. Then enter in your iTunes store account credentials and then try resyncing your iPod.

Provide the computer's firmware password. If you don't know what it is, contact the person you got the computer from or Apple.

HT4113 I never set up a passcode for the ipod touch but now it's asking for one?
I have an Ipod Touch. Mostly my son uses it for games. We've never put a password on it but today we cannot access it - it's asking for a password. what the heck do I do?
Connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore via iTunes. You may have to place the iPod in Recovery mode to allow the restore.

My wife and I have separate AppleID accounts. Ever since she updated to the iPhone 5c, for some reason when she tries to update her apps, it comes up with my AppleID and asks for my password. I cannot figure out why this happening and how to fix this. Please help!
I have had this issue lately.
I can only put it down to using the one computer to update all our IPads for me and my wife.
Some of our apps, although downloaded from both our seperate accounts on our IPads, are the same.
However after plugging her IPad into the computer when my AppleID is on ITunes, I think something strange has happened and when she then tries to update Apps on her IPad and I try on mine it now asks for the others Apple ID password.
The only way I have found to counteract this is to update an app one at a time, if that app asks for your wifes password then delete it and then reinstall it.
That has solved it for me.
Hope this helps -
unable to download apps to my new ipod touch .. message keeps saying my security code for credit card is not valid...please help
Credit card either isn't supported with the purchase or you typed it wrong.
Or just log out, log back in and type again. Could be a system error. -
Im trying to update an app on my phone but keeps asking me for the password of my cousins account, and I have never purchased an app with his account. I restored my cousins phone on my computer but I dont know if that has to do anything with the problem.
Because that person’s Apple ID was put inside the application when it was downloaded from the iTunes Store.

Hi, does anyone know if Apple ever sold ipod touch 4G on rectangle clear flat box, instead of round edge clear box?
Not a 4G. Thats something I have never seen before. But then again, the thinner 4G wouldn't be able to sit still in the case of a bulky 2nd or 3rd gen. So if it isn't sliding and its in original packaging, I would trust it. No one would go through the trouble to spend money to make a mold to stick a knockoff in a case. I say its fine. How is it running?

After getting a new router, my ipod touch is asking for a password. I was able to put in the router's passcode on all my other wireless stuff, but the ipod won't accept it. I thought I had made too many attempts, but I've reset it and it still won't let me on. I have no idea what the password is or why it is now asking for one. Help!!
Look at the manual for the router. The password is on the router. Then change the password in the router to something other than the default one and use that password when the iPod asks for it (it will only ask once, once it has the password/router combo in its memory, it will remember it)

I am locked out of my iPod and it says i cannot restore or back up due to me needing to unlock it and obviously i don't have my password. Please help, how do i unlock it?
Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password:
Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device, iTunes still asks for a password) -

You need to connect to a computer with iTunes and restore...start iTunes, connect the USB end of the iPod cable, then while holding the home button on the iPod, connect the 30-pin connector end of the cable to the iPod. The proceed to recover and restore the iPod.

When I transfer music from itunes library to my ipod touch, it says sync in progress on ipod touch, however, the songs don't show up on ipod touch. I have transferred songs in the past with no problem. Not sure what is different now or what I'm doing wrong-I am very new at this and any help is greatly appreciated.
How is your iPod configured to sync music? In other words, what options and configurations do you have enabled from under your iPod's Summary and Music tabs in iTunes?
Maybe have a look at this article as well to verify your iPod is set up for syncing music.

On my iPod touch it says on the settings i am connected to my home wifi but when I look for the 3. Bars beside the time they are not there this therefore stops me from using internet please help
Does the iOS device connect to other networks?
Does the iOS device see the network?
Any error messages?
Do other devices now connect?
Did the iOS device connect before?
Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. already suggested
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- Wi-Fi: Unable to connect to an 802.11n Wi-Fi network
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

My daughter is 7 and I don't allow her to download anything on her iPod touch. I have to put in my password for anything to be downloaded. Recently when putting in my password, I am being ask to enter in an additional email address for verification purposes. I need to know why this is. I have 1 email address that I use and don't see a reason to create a additional email address.
Can somebody tell me if this is normal?
Thanks
