I bought a ipod touch for my 10 yr old son. When I set up his facetime it show the messages are coming from me because it is setup under my apple id. How do I fix this?
iPod touch (2nd generation)
You'll have to set up a different mail address for the iPod. Check these articles:

@kristine,
please open your own thread if you are having a different issue, this post is from May 2012. Since then lots of things have changed, including the software for your device.
We've just got our Son a new iPad and have created an Apple ID for him via the Family thing.... Just tried to FaceTime me and the caller comes up (appears) that I am dealing instead of "his name and his Apple ID". This stuff is usually quite easy..... but I am not really sure what the issue is.. I was hoping that with the Apple ID that we have just created for him would appear and I would be able to FaceTime him and vice versa. Any ideas what the issue might be?
I do not understand what you mean by "caller comes up (appears) that I am dealing instead of "his name and his Apple ID"".
Was FT successful but the displayed name incorrect?
The displayed name is what is listed in the Contact for email address called.
Facetime for a child
