Set up a unique user for an iPod under my apple account

I bought an iPod touch 5g for my kid. He is too young to have his own apple ID, so my thought was to attach him under my account.
Problem is I want to be able to FaceTime him. With him under my acct, he can FaceTime to me, but I can't to him.
Also I want him to have a unique address so when his friends call, my devices don't ring.
Any ideas on how to set him up as a unique user under my account?

You just need to add his own email address and delete the Apple ID address.

Can i set up an access password for the ipod on my ipad 2?

I purchased an Ipad 2 for my son to use in his therapy for autism. He knows how to use it and knows that we have purchased shows and movies for him to watch in the car. Well now that is all he wants to do. I am wondering if there is a way that I can set up a password to access the ipod. If he cant get into the ipod to see shows and movies he will be fine with just playing the games we have for his therapy. I have looked online and have not had much luck finding an answer to this question. So again can someone please tell me if there is a way to set up an access password for the ipod on the ipad2??????

Have you got Home Sharing set up (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3819) ? i.e. he may be viewing the content from your computer, not on the actual iPad. If that is the case (which would explain to me him being able to access the videos via the iPod app), then the Restrictions settings that I've already mentioned should also work on that 'remote' content.
Edit : your last reply appeared whilst I was typing/checking this. And no, the Videos/iPod apps can't be passcode protected, you will need to go back into Restrictions and remove the restriction, or if the films are only on your computer and not on the iPad itself you could turn off home sharing on the iPad whilst he's playing the games : Settings > iPod and tap on your account id and/or password on the right under Home Sharing and delete it/ them (re-enter them when you want to re-enable it).

Change the passwords for all accounts used on both iPods.

Someone else set up my apps on my iPad. Now when I load find friends it shows him instead of me. I rebooted and re installed the app. How can I remove him even though I'm signed in under my apple account

My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream. I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer. I can't find how to sign on.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

I gave my old ipad to a friend. She cannot set it up until I remove this device from my apple account. How do I do that?

Do I need to reinstall everything to use a computer for a paid membership after using it for a trial under a different account? The programs say "start trial" or "trial ended" or "buy" next to them even after I sign in with my membership and then download them.

You need not re-install your applications. Just activate your creative cloud license by signing out of the Creative cloud application and then sign back in.

Unable to purchase game tokens for games downloaded under old Apple ID

My old email account was high jacked and then my apple account. i cancelled the credit card on file and created a new Apple ID. I could not recover control of the old account because the password, security questions and birthdate were changed. Now, I cannot purchase game tokens for games downloaded under the old account. Any ideas?

You'll have to redownload the game(s) using your new ID.

HT3622 I need different facetime and messenger details for multiple ipods on one apple id how do I do this when in itunes?

I have an iphone and my 2 children have Ipod touch they have to be set up under my apple id to be able to purchase apps. But we all want to have separate facetime & messenger accounts. My contact list seems to have appeared on one of my childs ipod touch. How can I set up separate accounts but under one apple id.

Answers that I know :
a, yes - I have an iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch linked to my account on the same computer/iTunes and haven't had any problems with it
b, you only need to purchase the app once, it can then be copied onto all your devices. Some of my apps are on all three of my devices. If you get newspapers or magazines then I believe that some only allow one download of each magazine/newspaper, so you may not be able to have them on each device.
c, as long as you have your own Game Center accounts then you should be able to - I've never used it
d, yes, you can have them on all your devices, you don't need to multi-purchase them
e, I think that you will each need your own email address for them - in Settings > iMessage you can link an email address with messaging, and similarly for FaceTime (Settings > FaceTime) - that way messages/calls will only go to the correct person. Using FaceTime ; there is also some info on the built-in apps in iPad's manual and iPod's manual
f, all content purchased via an iTunes account is tied to that account, and they cannot be copied or transferred to a different account. So any content purchased on your wife's account will remain tied to her account. You can have more than one iTunes account authorised on a computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer), so you can have her content as well as yours on the computer that you sync to.
g, don't know, I've not made any in-app purchase
h, with the device connected to and selected on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes, then on the tabs on the right-hand side you can control what is synced to that device. Those selections should then be remembered each time you re-connect that device, so you can have different selections for each device and you shouldn't have to re-do the selection each time you connect it.

Hello erbim,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
The Apple ID you sign in with will allow you access to the purchases made on that ID.
