My daughter has an iPod touch which has been set up under my apple ID. I want to change this so that she doesn't receive messages and FaceTime calls from my fiends and vice versa. I have set her up an apple ID with iCloud but the settings still show my ID

I need help setting up my daughters iPod. She has been using her iPod touch for 6 months using my ID. This caused a problem now that she is a bit more savvy and has learnt to message and FaceTime. I get her calls and she gets mine. I have set her up her own ID with iCloud but when I go to settings for FaceTime and messaging I can't erase my ID. So the problem is not really solved. She will have to access iTunes through me as she doesn't know my password and any games etc have to pass the mummy test. Can anyone help?

iPod touch, iOS 6.0.1

Will typing this message, her iPod mysteriously let me change her FaceTime email but not her messages. I suppose that's a start.

you just need to turn it off and then you will sign in with her info.

Don't forget to change icloud info, so in the future she will not delete your contacts.

in icloud you will have to delete account, can't just sign out and in.

Thanks. I have my iPad on my lap and her iPod in my hand. We can FaceTime each other but it won't let either of us message each other. I know mine is activated as I use it frequently. I have activated hers as well. Maybe I will put it in the too hard basket for tonight, sleep on it and try again tomorrow.
