I have an ipod touch 6th generation that was under my daughter's child apple id. She just got a phone and now we are passing the ipod on to my son. I have created an apple id for him under mine and we are connected in family sharing. I tried resetting the ipod to factory settings and setting it up under his apple id. It won't accept his id and password and repeatedly says "verification failed." I then restored the ipod (it was backed up on my macbook) under my daughter's account with the thought that I would try and log out of her account and then log in with his info. When I try her username and password I get the same thing, a spinning star forever and finally "verification failed, there was an error connecting to the Apple ID server." I cannot sign in out of accounts on the ipod no matter what I do. I've tried disconnecting the wifi and reconnecting. I've tried turning Airplane mode on and back off (Apple website suggested that??!) Any suggestions before I go completely insane?
