I registered my iPod Touch about 3 years ago on iTunes using its serial # and a username/password combo. This iPod has always run in conjunction with a single computer & iTunes knows (I expect) the IP address. The current computer is running Windows 8.1; the new system will be Windows 7. I also purchased some software apps and a few songs. The device works perfectly.
I now wish to give it to my daughter who has a different IP address and lives some distance away (well beyond Wi-Fi). If I give her the username/password combo can that person install iTunes on her own computer and re-register the iPod Touch without losing the apps/songs? Will the different IP address cause problems? Will it cause problems trying to register the device in 2 separate instances (since the serial # would already be registered as in use)? Post installation, can she change the iPod's name?
If necessary, what about sacrificing all the purchased apps/songs, etc and simply registering it again? There is not a lot of money involved here (about $20-25) and my daughter would probably want different apps, anyway. If, for instance, the transfer is against the EULA for the apps/songs I am more interested in transferring the hardware legitimately than trying to shaft Apple out of a few bucks.
Will I - or the tentative new owner - need to show that the transfer is legit (thinking not stolen and not some scheme to defraud Apple.) If yes, how?
Any other thoughts welcomed.
