Transfer my iPod Touch to my wife.

I have an iPod Touch and now purchased a iPhone 4.. I'd like to clean my iPod and allow my wife to use it as "hers"... especially with her address book, etc. We can still use the same iTunes music I guess and maybe a bunch of photos... but those are easily reloaded from files.
How do I "rename" my iPod and load in a whole new set of calendars, contacts... ?
Thanks..

Hello DonnieC,
And welcome to Apple Discussions.
I would recommend restoring the iPod via iTunes. This will wipe all content from the iPod and set it back to its original default settings allowing you to set it up completely from scratch.
Here is how to restore your iPod:

  • Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.

    Bought a new Ipod touch and the WiFi does not connect.  Tried Reset and total Restore, does not connect to Router on DHCP, tried Static IP, Subnet, Router and DNS manually and still can not get it to connect even though it registers as connected.  Using Airport for router, latest firmware, no problems with Iphone 4 or Macbook Pro or any other internet devices.  After total Restore (factory settings) tried again, showed connected to router, but does not display "check" next to router but little rotating icon even though the wifi range signal shows connected at full strength and it says it is connected.  Just can't seem to get it to generate an IP.  Any solutions other than turning it on and off again?  Not a Merry Christmas morning.

    Ok, so, a couple of things:  Denisefromwaleska and I have the exact same size/type/color iPod.  Now wishing I'd bought the black one maybe...
    Second, Airport is an Express and I have a second one that I carry with me when I travel.  Tried to connect my Airport Express to the internet and could not although the iPod did recognize the router and tried to connect to the internet for some time, unlike my previous problem.  Updated firmware on my travel router, still could not connect to the internet.  Going to try to set up a manual Static IP on the travel router here in a few and conect through it although I predict the problem will persist. Back on the Christmas Present Airport Express router, it is back in play and working fine for all devices save the iPod. 
    Thanks again for all your help, hopefully I can get a solution in place soon,

    I bought a new ipod touch for my wife, I put my Apple Id in to activate it, b/c we were not home, now that we are home I would like to set up a account (apple) of her own, so that it won't be interfering with my account. thanks for your help.

    Why not just erase the iPod and start over, using her Apple ID. Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, then you can start over with the initial setup of the device.
    Alternatively, your Apple ID may have been entered in:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    Sign out of your ID in these menus and sign in with your wife's Apple ID.

    Do other devices connect to your router?

    If you are sure that your password is correct try restarting your router by removing power to it for 30 seconds and restarting. On your iPod go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings. Now try to connect.

    My computer crashed.  How can I transfer my ipod touch back to my computer?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very reason.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes ourchases: File>Transfer Purchases.

  • Photo transfer to Ipod Touch in Field

    HI;
    I did a lot of searching on this topic, and didn't find any way that it was supported, but thought I would ask in case there is something new.
    I am looking for some way to transfer photos from my camera to Ipod touch without a computer. I would like to be able to quickly e-mail a photo via wifi when I am out. I know there was the device for the Ipod Photo, but from what I can tell, there was never anything like that made for the Itouch.
    I can use a camera with CF or one with SD if that would help.
    The only possible solution I found would be to use a product for the camera called EI-FI, which is a SD card that automatically uploads your photos to the web, then I assume you could access them from your Ipod via the web browser. The only real problem I have with this, is I am not clear how long it would take the EI-FI card to transfer the photos from the card to the web so I could download them on my touch.
    I would much prefer a direct transfer to the touch via cable or wireless. (or if they would build in a camera on the Touch, that would be perfect )
    Thanks
    Jamie

    You might be able to use the Eye-Fi card at http://www.eye.fi/overview/ in conjunction with the Air Sharing application on a touch.
    I expect to see them early next month at a large photo show and will ask them about such support. I'll blog what they say.

  • My Iphone/ Ipod touch 4th gen WiFi problems and solution

    Just wanted to let people know the problems that I had with my 4th gen Ipod touch and Iphone 4 WiFi connections (and my solution).
    I was having consistent problems with my WiFi connection at home - my devices were connecting fine to the router and apparently the signal was full strength; however, nothing was working properly (internet, itunes, app store). To be specific the devices would work for 5-10 minutes but then the connection would start to falter. My other wireless devices were working fine (HTC Hero, laptops etc.) - just the ipod and iphone seemed to suffer from this signal problem (although the router was always apparently connected).
    Obviously, I read countless forums to try and diagnose the problem. There seemed to be a litany of possible causes and I tried the following to resolve the issue:
    - updated router (Netgear WGR614 v6) firmware
    - rotated wireless encryption (WEP/WAP/nothing)
    - changed router channel
    - reset router power
    - reset network settings on Apple devices
    - changed g and b settings on router
    Nothing seemed to work so I began to question the hardware i.e. the router (which I knew was working from my other devices) and the iphone/ipod.
    I tested my iphone and ipod on other wireless networks (McDonalds in the UK has free WiFi) and found that, in contrast, they worked fine on other networks. I had read a few posts from people saying that my router was perhaps too old. So as a last resort I bought myself a new router (Netgear WNR2000 v2). I was loathe to do this earlier in case it didn't work, since reasonable spec routers are £50
    Anyway it worked ... straight away. I have tested the new connection at home using this SpeedTest app. D/load = 9.01 Mbps, U/load = 0.46 Mbps, Ping 65ms. The router is using the full encryption (WAP2 something ...) and N connection.
    As you can probably tell I'm no WiFi expert - I just wanted to post this in case people are having similar issues with older routers. I wasn't able to find any definitive advice and solutions from other users so I though I'd contribute here, which I guess is the first port of call for new Apple users, like me
    I bought the new router 10 days ago and have been enjoying my full speed connection ever since - touch wood. Hope this helps.

    Sounds like an intermittent contact problem some where eon the logic board. Hard to trace down and fix

  • How can I locate my lost iPod touch within my WiFi network range?!

    I am still using my 1st gen iPod touch from 2008 for apps and music and other uses.  I rely on it quite a bit although of course I have a separate cell phone for now (will eventually get an iPhone).  However, I synced it with iTunes right before going on a long shopping spree Thursday afternoon then hooked it to my car's stereo system to listen to as I often do.  Upon returning home, tired and with multiple bags, I was trying to juggle them all on several trips from my car to front door (about 30 ft.).  The iPod touch always picks up my WiFi network in my car as soon as I pull in, and with my hands full on my last trip I realized I'd forgotten to disconnect my iPod touch so I could bring it in too.  I'll admit I was getting bogged down and annoyed so I disconnected it then remember also dropping some bags and picking them up from the parking space.  An hour later, after finally getting most bags and myself at least somewhat settled, I remembered I hadn't reconnected my iPod touch to its JBL docking system.  I soon realized I couldn't find it in the house and went with a flashlight to look in the car and outside between the house and car.  I searched for hours in all likely places and again the next day.  I also thought about an hour after losing it to check AirPort Utility's advanced pane which includes the logs, wireless clients and DHCP clients.  Sure enough it was still picking the device up, every 30 minutes or so periodically showing "binding added" and "binded dropped" for my iPod's IP address via NAT, and also "associated with" and "disassociated with" the iPod's unique MAC address.
    My worst fear was that I dropped it outside and someone dishonest took it, but that seems unlikely because I really don't have those kinds of neighbors and I searched immediately for it everywhere it could be (in my car, under it, outside everywhere I walked, in the house in the oddest places like under furniture, in discarded shopping bags, the trash can and even the freezer!  Sure enough, for 13 hours AirPort Utility showed activity contacting (or detecting) the device as mentioned above, until about 9:30 the next morning.  Since then there has been no log activity detected, and the device itself listed with MAC address has also disappeared under the "DHCP Clients" pane of AirPort Utility. I realize this could simply be the battery dying after all this time (although it should be in sleep mode), but the point is it was close by for all that time even after I'd searched for it, so it is unlikely someone found it easily after I searched everywhere I'd been in the short distance from parked car to home.  It also has a black rubber "suit" so the entire thin 8GB device is thin and completely black all over, further disguising it, especially at night.
    My question is that since this is not an iPhone and I cannot "call it" to find it, and it is only a 1st gen. iPod touch without a built-in speaker to make loud noises unless hooked to headphones or a line output, how can I find it?  It does make the tiny super high-pitched digital beeps when I get a "push" notification but I don't see how that does me any good unless someone from an app I use tries to contact me while I'm in extremely close proximity to hear those faint tones. Anyway, I really do need it and it's driving me crazy knowing it is within such a short range from me either inside my house or car (or outside in a short straight path from car to my doorstep) yet I am helpless.  Is there anything anyone can suggest?  It's almost worst than knowing I lost it anywhere, because I know it's here, but want to find it soon before someone else does (if outside) or the trash gets thrown out (if it fell in there) or it gets run over if on the street somewhere I missed. 

    There is no way to automatcally locate it.
    Since WiFi does not travel far talk to your neighbors. Perhaps one of them (or their children) found your iPod.
    If this does not work make a more thorough search of your house to find it.

  • Ipod touch 1G "no wifi" grayed icon after upgrading to 3.1.3

    Hello there,
    After upgrading my ipod touch to 3.1.3., the wifi icon gone gray and I have no chance to change any wifi settings. I've tried at at least 3 places with different routers where other devices (notebooks, PSP, DS), work fine, so I'm sure it's not an access point problem. Also I can't change any of the wifi settings. I've tried everything (clearing safari cache, history et all, reset network, reset ipod, restore ipod), and nothing seems to work.
    The ipod is out of warranty and I wonder if there is some way to "downgrade" it to the previous version or any solution for this problem.
    Thank you in advance

    I recently lost wifi capabilities on my 3rd generation ipod touch.  I reset the network which did nothing so I did a complete reset.  This actually removed the Safari icon off my itouch and still wifi is completely grayed-out.  Has Apple removed the wifi capabilities to force the purchase of new items?
    I find it completely disturbing that only recently has this become an issue for 3rd generation itouch users.
    Can someone please help as I am exceptionally frustrated
