    Create new IDs for each by:
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
    Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use that Id only for:
    - Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into the new one. Make sure that only that ID email address is listed.
    - Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into the new . Make sure that under You can be reached at only the new ID email address is listed
    - Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with the new one
    Continue to the one one common ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores. That is what controls purchases.

  • Often, when I connect my iPod Touch to the PC, instead of it showing up as a device in iTunes, a window pops up that says I have connected a camera, and asks what to do.  It is really annoying when this happens, because sometimes I cannot update my iPod

    Often, when I connect my iPod Touch 2G to the PC, instead of showing up as a device on iTunes, a pop-up appears that says I have connected a camera and asks what I want to do.  This device doesn't have a camera in it.  When this happens, (not always)I can't update my iPod, no matter how many times I try to connect it.  I have an old Nano that has never had this problem at all.  Can anyone tell me what to do about this?

  • I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

    I would like to purchase an ipod for my husband. Can I download songs from my itunes library to his ipod without disturbing my itunes?

    Yes Deborah,
    Actually it's as smiple as plugging in the iPod and registering it, this will be done by a step by step dialog box when you first plug it in. After that it will show up in your device list on the left side. Just drag the song from the music library in iTunes to the iPod device that is his. You can drag single songs, complete albums or even complete genres. If it is a iTouch you get him, you can also click the music tab on the iTouch device in iTunes when you plug it in and you can just check off artist names or just certain albums. Also on a iTouch on the summary screen you can click the sync with iTouch over Wi-Fi check box and you will no longer have to plug it to the computer to sync. Also, since they are two different devices the music on one will not affect the music on another. This goes for any iOS device, iPods, iTouches, iPhones, and iPads.
    Hope that helps.

  • How can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    how can i download music from my computer to my ipod nano without erasing music already there?

    If the music you are wanting to have on your iphone was purchased through itunes you can then go to your front display to settings>itunes and app store from there you have a toggled switch that allows you to automatically download music and apps by toggling the switch. You will need to toggle the switch below these switchs that allows for cellular data to be enabled if this has not already been enabled. This then will automatically download music and apps directly to your device with no additional charge to you.
    Good luck.

    You'll want to enable Manually Manage Music and Videos. Once you do that you'll be able to drag and drop the music from the computer to the iPod.

  • Why i can't load music from my iTunes library to my synced iPod touch

    Why can't I load music from itunes library to synced ipod touch

    " I have no idea what you're talking about my phone being hacked."
    I explained:  "Your iphone must be hacked as you cannot copy from finder on a legit iphone."
    "I used to be able to drag music FROM THE ITUNES LIBRARY to THE IPHONE. Now I can no longer do that"
    Again, I explained: "you would check the manually manage music box of you wanted to drag and drop."
    Do you have the manually manage music box checked?

  • HT1848 how to I transfer music from my itunes library to my ipod?

    How do I transfer music from my itunes libraray to my ipod?

    If you have iTunes 11 on your computer then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC, which might make things easier. Then connect the iPod and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and then on the right-hand side of iTunes select the Music tab - you should then be able to select which of your music to sync to your iPod
