Several months ago Brandt's Ipod screen froze and we had to send it back to Apple for repair. They sent a new one and when they did, I hooked it to my computer to sync. I never downloaded any music to it and we put a few apps on it now and then. We don't let him on our WiFi at home, so he can only download when we are somewhere with free WiFi access. He also does not have an itunes account, so I have to approve and download everything using my account, which I thought was a great plan.
Brandt also loves passwords and hiding things and locks. He got a safe with a combination lock for Christmas and I can only imagine what important things he has locked away in there. It has an alarm, so I hear it every time he opens it. The combination is printed on the bottom and I have had to help him open it several times already, so we are leaving it on the bottom. He hasn't realized the security risk yet. He used to have a password on his itouch, until a couple of weeks ago when he called me in hysterical tears because he could not get the password to work. You get three chances and then it is disabled for 1 minute, three chances and it is disabled for 5 minutes and then three more chances and it is locked until you hook it to the computer it syncs with. The problem was, I had not synced is itouch since we got it. The only way to unlock it was to reset it, which meant we lost everything-all the apps, etc. I reset it and promised him I would set everything back up.
Today I sat down determined to fix everything. I transferred appropriate music, found our network password and turned the WiFi on, found the apps he wanted and downloaded them, I was set. I set it to sync and fed Blake lunch. 20 minutes later it was still going. What? It doesn't take my iphone this long and I have way more stuff to back up. I took a closer look and saw that it was syncing all my apps to Brandt's itouch. All because I didn't give him a separate account. I should have let him download his own apps, it would have been easier.
No, I am no technology genius.
