i recently updated my daughters ipod touch and now my phone number is being used on the imessage and facetime on her ipod and my phone notifies me that she is using my number and i cannot remove it. how can i remove my number from this?
Under settings, you should be able to remove your number from both iMessage and Facetime. She can then use her email for both. A phone number is not required on the iTouch for them to work, just an email.

i tryed this but it doesnt give me the option to remove my number.
Why does it have your number, I never put a number in mine. Try going to Settings>General>Reset and choose what you want to do.
Your daughter needs to have her own Apple ID and e-mail.
Also, make sure your daughter's device is not logged in to either the App Store or iTunes with your Apple ID.
I'm having the same issue on only one of my two iPods ?!
I have the following:
iphone 4S - OS 6.1.1
ipod Touch # 1 - OS 6.1.2
ipod Touch #2 - OS 6.0.1
All three devices have unique e-mails registered. Touch #1 has the iphone number i don't want.
If I log out of my apple id on the iphone and reset network settings on Touch # 1, then the number is gone. As soon as I log into AppleID on the iphone, the number re-appears on Touch # 1. Argh.
This does not happen on Touch # 2 which makes me think there should be a solution other than separate Apple ID's.
Any help is appreciated.
TIA
You can only unchedk the phone number is Settings>FaceTime>You can be reached at and Settingsg>Messages>Send and receive.
If you do nt what the phone nimber to appear on the iPod you have to use and Apple ID not associated with with an iPhone with iOS 6. Create the new ID and then only use that ID for Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and Settings>FaceTime

What gets me is that Touch # 2 is running iOS 6.0.1 and the phone number is not showing up there. I'm going to do an update on that one tonight and see if the phone number shows up there. I'm guessing it will.
If it does, then I will get a new Apple ID for the iphone. I guess my issue then will be sharing apps across my devices. But that's another topic.
This was helpful, thank you! My son was getting a copy of all my iphone texts on his ipod touch. Now, is there a way i can see what text messages my son is sending and receiving on his ipod touch (either on my iphone or email or his email, which i have access to) ?
Thank you!
Love is cool
