By the sound of things, you may have forgotten the details of the Apple ID which is used on the iPod Touch to purchase apps and music. This doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to go and create a whole new account to use, it’s simply a matter of resetting the password of your current one. By going on the iTunes software found on your computer (you would have needed to install this when transferring music to your iPod touch), and then accessing the iTunes Store, you can then attempt to login. Now, it’s likely that you would have forgot the email address or the password used to access your Apple ID, and this is the time for you to click the ‘Forgot Password’ button. Now, the next step is to answer some simple security questions that you would have established when registering your account. These questions may include information on your mother’s maiden name, or other trivial minutiae such as the name of your first pet. Assuming you remember the answers correctly, that will be the top and the bottom of the matter!
If you do indeed want a new account, don’t despair - it’s still really simple. You still need to access your iTunes software first, and then click ‘Register’. After this, you’ll need to provide your full name, address, email account and date of birth. Also, if you’re interested, you’ll be able to add credit card details so purchases can be made easily on the iTunes Store. A credit card isn’t necessarily to make purchases, as prepaid iTunes vouchers can be purchased from most high street stores.
