Looking to get a new itunes account for my nephew, but he's been using my acount to download his content to ipod. How do i get him his own acount and allow him to download his own content without losing his current content?

Any tips? The key thing is not losing his current content! Most of his content has been downloaded with MY account to his ipod, but now hes wanting his own account, so essentially id prefer to just switch over.

iPod touch, Windows Vista

Sure, you can mulitiple accounts on the iPod and on a computer. It will require that the login be changed on the computer and iPod to do various actions like updating apps. When apps from more than one account need to be update, you have to update them one at a time since you can only be signed inot one account at a time. Also see:
