Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

My music on the iPod touch 4g isn't sorted out by little sections anymore. For example songs with the letter A and then there will be a marker for all A lettered songs, but my ipod does not do that to all of my music. How can i fix this?

My music on itunes doesn't have the markers anymore, how can i fix this?
So my songs should be listed like this:
A
Advice
B
Bang
C
Chinter's will
K
KannaZuki No Miko
L
Lights

The reason the alphabetical sections aren't showing is because you don't have enough songs. In order for them to show, you have to have a certain number of songs. ( I think it's 40 ).

CD's not purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on Apple TV! How can I fix this?

CD's purchased from iTunes but uploaded to iTunes do not show up in the music folder on my Apple TV! How do I fix this?

You would need to make sure you're accessing the Computers icon. If you are under the Music icon, that will be accessing the cloud and only show iTunes purchases (unless you subscribe to iTunes Match)

ITunes is telling me that I've already authorized 5 computers and that i have to de-authorize one to play my music! How can i fix this when the only computer I've authorized is my own.

What I think has happened in the past 5years I've been using iTunes, I've cleaned off my hard drive 5times and saving all my music in the process. Each time I start over iTunes asks me to autherize that particular computer, but that computer/OS doesnt exsist anymore. How do I fix this?

I put an audiobook into my itunes and the audiobook setting won't save, it goes back to Music. How can I fix this?

I put an audiobook into my Itunes and I have selected the setting as Audiobook instead of Music but the change doesn't stick. How can I make this work? I've updated all my software and still I can't get the setting to stay on Audiobook.
Thanks!

From King_Penguin in response to an earlier query on this topic:
You should be able to copy it over by connecting your phone to your computer's iTunes and doing File > Devices > Transfer Purchases - it should copy over to the Books part of your library

I don't know the password for my OLLLLDDDD iTunes AOL accounts, and thus can't play half of my music. How can I fix this?

I recently had to get a new hard drive on my laptop and thus lost all of my music. I've had my iPod for somewhere around six years, and have amassed a lot of music during that time and gone through a couple computers (mostly because I was working up to a computer of my own...). So, if you can guess where I'm going with this, I have had at least three different iTunes accounts and I still have all of the music on an external drive. My problem is that now that I'm putting my music back on to the new hard drive, I can't play some of the songs because I don't know the password for the OLD AOL accounts. I've tried every variation of password I can think of that I would have used, but still come up with nothing. I tried calling the AOL support number and the guy said he had no idea what I was talking about and hung up on me. To make things even more confusing, iTunes seems to have created an identical account to the one I use now but as an AOL account and I have absolutely no idea what the password is. This means that half of my music/TV shows/movies are not able to be watched/listened to. Does anybody have any idea what I can do to recover my password? Or am I totally screwed?? Please help!

Ok..
Launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.
iTunes seems to have created an identical account
No... Apple does not "create" an account for you.

You've purchased iTunes media all this time and never backed it up?

After a crash, lots of audiobooks have somehow moved to Music folder, and links are broken - how can I fix this?

Wow, I'm surprised the forums accepted that long a title.
Anyway, the computer crashed. I started again, and when opening iTunes after the crash ... something happened. There was a prompt that I idiotically didn't write down (Moving Library? Updating Library?), that kept going for hours, and eventually I just gave up and shut it down. That was probably stupid. Also evidence of significant things happening: the next Time Machine backup was 60GB+, so something big had changed.
As best I can tell, lots of my Audiobooks (and I've got MANY) now have broken links - when I look in the "iTunes Media" folder, many of the files that were once in the "Audiobooks" folder are now in the "Music" folder instead. All are still in the same subfolder as before: so audiobook files that were in "Audiobooks / BBC Melvyn Bragg" are now in "Music / BBC Melvyn Bragg", for example. So far I've only found Audiobooks that have been messed up in this way. Music and iTunes U and Podcasts seem to be unchanged, but maybe I just haven't noticed those problems yet.
And obviously I want to fix this.
Note that my iTunes library is set to "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized". All of the organization is what iTunes has done.
Option 1: can I just restore from a Time Machine backup? If so, what should I restore? There have been a few changes in the metadata in the 3-4 days since the crash, but I'm not overly concerned with that.
Option 2: can I just use Finder and move the files back? This would seem the "easiest" option to me. Although lots (hundreds? thousands?) of audiobook files have been moved, they're within only a couple of dozen different folders. Dragging them back into the correct folder would be easy - but what kind of havoc would that wreak on the database system?
Option 3: go through each track and find the file. I can do this. It'll take hours and hours and hours. I don't want to do this.
Slightly different question: how can I make a smart playlist of all the files with broken links? (I'm still trying to get a handle on just how big this problem is.) I've found suggestions about (1) making a smart playlist of everything, (2) dragging all of those into a normal playlist, and (3) making a new smart playlist of whatever's in #1 but not in #2, but that doesn't seem to be working for this situation. Is that advice now outdated, or is there something unique to my situation?
Thanks in advance!

Following up: I went with Option 2 above, and it seems to have worked quite well. I didn't even need to quit iTunes. After the files were moved, the exclamation marks remained at first, until I played the file, or restarted iTunes - now all seems well, until the next crash anyway.

I dowloaded a few files from the website MEGA and was given a few warnings but downloaded anyway. Now my computer tells me to restart like every 10 minutes. How can I fix this?

Please Help fast!!!!

Wipe your computer - erase the system drive - and do a clean install.
If you have a tower not a notebook more likely to keep more backups you can boot from, and restore from.
Always have a backup copy of the system - off line and safe - that you can restore from.
Did you look for how to use Mountain Lion Recovery Mode / Safe Mode /
Maybe it is possible to do Safe Boot and disable any added login items, startup items, and use Activity Monitor to kill any process.
The Mac does not have a real sandbox or restore points, but you can always use TimeMachine and reinstall the operating system.

HT4623 My daughter update my iphone using her itunes acct., which caused all her apps to download onto my iphone. Now when it asks for my password it has her email address instead of mine. How can I fix the problem?

My daughter was updating her iphone to the iOS6 and everything went great. So, she was going to update mine. She used her itunes acct. instead of mine and it downloaded all her music and apps onto my iphone. Now when it asks for me to enter my password, it has her email address. How can I fix this???

plug your iphone into your computer with your itunes account signed in to update it, (if you want your own apps ect.) if all you want to do is change accounts signed in on the iphone than simply open settings and scroll down until you see itunes and app stores touch the apple id tip top and signout, sign yourself in. any apps she has "purschased" that you have not.. i imagine will just cease to work.
if you both share the same contacts, it won't be a big deal, however if you have work and her shcools numbers ect, and she just has mom/dad/buddies you may have double numbers and apps and what not by doing this, so if it does become a mess.. just get on itunes log into your account by clicking the store menu in itunes and going down to the account id on the bottom of that menu and just restore your phone.
