My 10 yr old wants to text from his iPod touch. We have 1 family Apple ID. How can I monitor his texts without receiving all of his friends messages? Do I need a separate Apple ID or can I link a new email address to the same Apple ID?

Can anyone help me?

HT4436 How can I edit my Icloud email address using the same Apple ID?
How is the best option I have to edit or change my Icloud email address?
Unfortunately, you cannot change your primary @me.com or @icloud.com email address, you could however create an alias or create a completely new account.

HT3529 How can I text from an iPod Touch.
How does someone text me to my iPod Touch?
There are specific apps that you can get to text from your iPod Touch. You MUST have wifi to use the app though. If you don't have any connection to a wifi source, you will not be able to send. (Most testing apps are free)

I am having serious issues trying to alter my old iCloud account with an old non-functioning email to my new apple id with a new email address. The message keeps coming up on all my apple products with my old email (which is not available anymore).
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option? -
I accidentally have 2 apple id's and i want to put the already verified email address on the other apple id. How do i do that?
It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it. You should be able to log into the account and change its primary email address (to an address which is not currently on another account) : http://appleid.apple.com

I am trying to read my iMessages from my iPhone 4S on my iPad 2, but the messages do not show up on my iPad 2. I made sure that the receiving email address is the same on both devices and both are signed into my single Apple account.
Is it possible that the person who sent the message to your phone sent it to your phone # instead? Try sending a message to your phone via the email address and see if it shows up on the iPad.

How do I change my default email on the "Me" contact from a Facebook email to my normal email address in the same contact? Or at least change it for the autofill information?
Perfernece for contact to change. Do I just have to dis-associate my contact fromt the facebook account? Is only the autofill changable?If you allow Facebook to access your contacts and you have the @facebook.com email alias turned on, it will add the @facebook.com email to your contact info, and because it has the fixed label of "email" it overrides every other email address.
They didn't fix this in iOS 8.
There are two ways to remove the @facebook.com email from your contact info:
If you don't need your Facebook friends and their info updating your contacts, go into iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn off access to Contacts.
If you don't use your @facebook.com email address (all it does it forward to the primary email address) you can go into the Facebook app, More -> Settings -> General -> Email -> and uncheck "Use your Facebook email". Removing it from Account Emails does not work, you have to turn it off. Once you do this, go to iOS Settings -> Facebook and turn Contacts off and on again to make it update your info. The @facebook.com address should be removed. -

I have an iPhone 4 and a 4th gen iPod linked to the same email address and apple ID. I am trying to change the email address on the iPod so a family member can use it but when I do it says it doesn't recognize the email address. Where am I going wrong ? I just want them to be able to iMessage and email without having to use my email address.
The procedure is Settings>Messages>Send & Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>Add another email address. The email address has to be a valid working email address, obviously. Apple should verify the email address and you have to go to the inbox of that email account, read the verification email from Apple and follow the inductions in the email in order to complete the verification. Then you go back to the settings, uncheck your email address and check the new email address to be used as the contact email address.

How do I get rid of my old charter email address on the game center app and icloud. It is messing things up when I go to sign in with my new Apple ID using Att? I am continually asked to update my password!!
You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

I changed the email address for my Apple ID and so how can I chAnge it to my new email Adress on my iCloud?
You should have done it the other way arround. You should have started with signing out, before you changed your email. I would suggest to follow these steps...
1. change your email address back to the old one
2. delete your iCloud account from all your devices (especially turn off "Find My iPhone")
3. change your email to your new email address aigain
4. add your iCloud account again
