Daughter's iPod Touch receiving texts sent between my wife and I

My daughter's iPod Touch is receiving texts sent between my wife and I. I understand that I can manually disable this on the iPod Touch, but she could feasibly re-enable this and spy on us. Is this correct? If so, this is a huge problem for everything from discussing surprise birthday plans, Christmas presents, to sending "intimate" messages to one another.
How do I handle this centrally and permanently prevent her from seeing messages that my wife and I send back and forth?

Your daughter needs her own Apple ID for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud.
The Apple ID needs to be a verified email address. Once you have an email address, that can be verified, go here & create the ID:
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId
Then on her phone, turn off Contacts, Calendars, etc. for iCloud. You'll be prompted to keep the data or delete it from the phone, then turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account...Settings>iCloud...scroll down...delete account. Then, setup iCloud using the new Apple ID, turn on iMessage & Facetime.
This will have no affect on the ID you both share for iTunes content, & you can continue to do so.

TS2771 my ipod touch 4th gen is connected to wifi and will not open the app store or any of my social media apps i am logged in to itunes so i have no idea why its not letting me use app store itunes or any social media

My Ipod Touch 4th Generation is connected to wi-fi and will not open the app store. Says it cannot connect to iTunes Store. I can get on the internet but for some reason it won't connect to the app store or the Software Updates.

Can't connect to the iTunes Store
For the socal sites, are y using a home network?
Did it work before?
Some work networks block sits like social sites.

Why is my daughter's ipod touch receiving all of my info ie. emails etc

I set up separate apple IDs for she and I, but isn't that just for iTunes? How do I keep her from getting my emails, contacts etc?

Likely because yo are syncing to one iTunes library and you both are using the same computer login and maybe iTunes library. See the following for how to use multiplbe devices onone computer:

Ipod touch 2g 8gb cycles between battery screen

ipod touch 2g 8gb cycles between battery screen and logo scree. and does not startup suggestions why ?

After charging for at least an hour I would try in order:
- resetting the iPod:
Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restoring the iPod, first from backup and then to factory defaults/new iPod. If iTunes does not see the iPod first try placing the iPod in recovery mode. If still unsuccessful try placing it in DFU mode.
for recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
For DFU mode:

I downloaded new os for my daughter's ipod touch. I remember during setup after that I checked off my husband's email account and now she is receiving his texts. How do I fix this. The "icloud"/ "messages" buttons are both greyed out under settings

Forgotten RESTRICTIONS Passcode
- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to file manipulation see:

Just sent in daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed....They sent me a new one....is there anyway to get the contents of her old one onto the new one? I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.

Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.

Start at # 3
1- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
2 Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
3 If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
4 Try on another computer
5 If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I daughter's iPod touch is password locked and authorized to computer that doesn't exist anymore. i want to set it up on my iTunes but it won't recognize it because of the failed password attempts. what can i do?

My daughter's ipod touch is password locked and attached to a computer that doesnt exist anymore. i want to authorize it to my computer itunes account but itunes wont even read it due to the password failure. what can i do?

That's by design. The password is designed to protect the user's information and cannot be circumvented. You can restore it to "new" condition though, and sync it to your computer. The iPod Touch's content will be securely erased by doing this.
Refer to iOS: Unable to update or restore. Follow the instructions exactly as written.

TS4062 My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows.

My daughter's ipod touch 4th Gen cannot sync over wi-fi and cannot be seen in the devices section of itunes for windows. I have gone through all steps of the troubleshooting guide. All of our other ios devices are wi-fi sync-ing fine. Can anyone help?
Not sure how long this has been a problem. Kids are young and I manually manage most things but recently having music synced is an issue. All software has been kept up to date.

HT1212 My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on what she may have done to cuase this and how to fix it?

My daughter's ipod touch is disabled for the next 43 years. Any hints on how to fix this? I have followed the steps listed on the apple website to p lace it into recovery mode, but the ipod is now "stuck" on the connect to itunes part. Thanks!

Sounds like a case of entering an incorrect passcode over and over. Only fix is to follow the instructions in that article you reference, HT1212, and it may take a couple tries to get it to work right.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too.

Got my daughter an ipod touch 4th and it wont dothe back up from itunes? I bought my other daughter an iphone 4 and its doing the same thing. Both are locking up itunes too. I tried the deactivate/activate that was suggested it still didnt work. I took the ipod to a friend and hooked to her laptop and it synced fine but now trying to sync on mine it wont do it and it has the backup encryption on but no passwords will unlock it. itunes will reccognize the ipod and the iphone but while going thru the sync steps they both get to step 2 then lock up itunes and then says its syncing but will never stop. I am very frustrated and am regretting buying products from Apple.

It seems to be a glitch or bug. Its been officially acknowledged and addressed by Apple. There is no resolution other than waiting for a few days. The Kb article by Apple states it will fix itself on January 7.

Symptoms

Resolution
Do Not Disturb scheduling feature will resume normal functionality after January 7, 2013. Before this date, you should manually turn the Do Not Disturb feature on or off.
To turn off the scheduling feature, tap Settings > Notifications > Do Not Disturb and switch Scheduled to Off.

Daughter's iPod Touch Stolen

Hi,
My daughter's iPod Touch was stolen at her school today. She has the iPod locked with a passcode. Is that going to render the iPod useless to whomever stole it, or can they just restore or erase it somehow?
Thanks,
Ray

That's not quite true.
The iPod would have to be restored from the computer it's already synced to, what you'd have to do if you forgot your pass code, not the computer of whoever stole it.
It's a good bet that the iPod will be useless to whoever stole it.
The restore will work, and the device will be usable. But, the data will be gone unless the device is synced to the computer it was originally synced to.

Yep, here's the link : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
The only way the restore will work is if whoever swiped it syncs it with the daughter's computer.
Thanks for the link, Pamela...but, you may want to read the kbase article you linked.
From near the end of the article: +"If you restore on a different computer that was never synced to the iPhone or iPod touch, _you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode but your data will not be present_. "+
To me, that sounds like exactly what I described in my original response.
