I Set my sons iPod up under the email address I thought I had used for his ipad. Unfortunately I hadn't. How can I change one of them so he can access music and games in the iCloud?
iPod touch, It's 3 weeks old
CHANGE ID
What to do after you change your Apple ID email address or password
The ID is used in the following locations and you have to change them.
Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
Settings>FaceTime
Settings>GameCenter
Settings>iCloud
and Settings>iTunes and App store
You have to sign out of ID (for iCloud you delete the iCloud account from the iPod) and sign in with other ID. Also when you delete the iCloud account from the device you will offered to either delete the iCloud data from the device or leave it on the device
Note the following are resolved if you use Family Sharing (iOS 8 and later):
- Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
- To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
If the iPod has iOS 7 or later then you have the enter the password for Apple ID presently sign in Settings>iCloud.
Also, a Restriction can be set (Settings>General>Restrictions) the prevents changing accounts

You can also setup Family sharing if you have two devices:

Family purchases and payments - Apple Support
