Can I transfer music from my iTunes account to my dad’s new iPod Touch?
Please someone give me a straight answer, I find all this very confusing.
My dad had an iPod Nano for years. He has no AppleID account of his own. I would purchase the music he wanted on MY iTunes account on my home computer, plug HIS iPod Nano into my computer, and then manually drag & transfer those purchases to his iPod Nano so he could listen. Everyone was happy.
But now his Nano has died and Apple has frustratingly discontinued all iPods except the new iPod Touch! Now everything is more complicated. So, my questions:
1) If I buy him an iPod Touch and I DON’T set up a new AppleID for him when I set it up, can he use the new ipod Touch just like his old Nano, where I can just plug it into my computer and then manually drag and drop all the music he wants (from my iTunes account) TO that new iPod Touch ?
2) What if during set-up I DO create him an AppleID? If that iPod Touch is now associated with a newly created AppleID, would iTunes then prevent me from allowing me to manually drag and drop all the songs from MY iTunes account to his new iPod ??
Please advise in a clear manner, as I am not techy and am very confused. Thanks
