Can't remove my number from iMessage on my IPad .

Can't remove my number from iMessage on my IPad .
Just bought a new phone with data package , as soon as I turned it on, my iPad asked me to link the iPhone 5 number to my iPad iMessage , I said yes, and that was the mistake, both iPad and iPhone getting messages when I send it to either.
I tried to switch in between all the other emails registered on my iMessage , but no luck.
Any One have an idea how to remove the number from iPad?

When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID. If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow this article.
When another iOS device enables iMessage with your Apple ID, you will receive an alert:
Email Address Added to "[device name]"
"[device name]" is now using "[Apple ID]" for iMessage.
To remove phone number for iPad or iPod:
On the iPhone and iPad sign out Messages. Then sign into the iPad. Then sign into the iphone

You only have the following options: 1. Change your Apple ID password...doesn't always work though; 2. If you setup a support profile, with Apple, you can login to your support profile & remove the phone...should always work; 3. Call AppleCare.

HT4528 How do I remove my number from Imessages

I am having trouble doing what I think should be an easy thing. I have Me, wife (separated) my son, my nephew and my cousins on my itunes account on a share network. I am the primary user and have been disgusted by what I have noticed is going on. Because I am the primary "Imessage" has been sending all my texts to all family that has my number on my account and I can not change it.
This is so dishearting that I can not stand it. My family has had access to all my stuff. REALLY. And before anyone says something dumb that I don't want to hear or can not do let me give you my reasons:
1. I can not start another Itunes, because no matter what, my sons and family will always be allowed to have what i have, but they are with their mother. So I can not start another Itunes and lose the $1000s of money i have spent during our 15 years of marriage.
2. I am not going to delete access because that would hurt all my family that I dont want to hurt.
3. I know you can turn off "Imessage" but all that does is not send my text and text that other people send that have "Imessage" on goes to all the devices that have the number on the imessage. Which defeats the purpose of this TURNING OFF.
4. I can not delete the number. Change it or Pass protect something that is private.
I buy games for my neice, nephew, apps and movies for my sons and it ***** that I have to have my privacy a open book to all to see. What a fricking joke. How is this possible.
I need someone to help me. Quick, before i lose my mind. "Imessage" should not be made for all those to see my private texts.
I WILL NOT START OVER IN ITUNES, I WILL NOT REMOVE MY FAMILY MEMBERS FROM ITUNES, ALL I WANT IS MY STUFF TO BE PRIVATE AND MOVIES, APPS, GAMES, MUSIC TO BE ACCESSIBLE NOT REALLY A HARD REQUEST AND I CANNOT BE THE ONLY ONE.

Hi ndnman,
You can still keep you AppleID for iTunes and set up a totally separate one for iCloud and iMessage, you know.....
You just need a different email address than the one you use for your iTunes AppleID. I've attached a little support article that may help:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895
The section about using a different AppleID for iCloud than for Store Purchases is probably the one that will help most!
Good luck!

How do I remove phone number from iMessage on one device only

Hi there, I recently upgraded my iphone 4 for an iphone 6 and we decide to let my niece have the old iphone 4 with our account set up so that she can have the apps that we have as well. Now, I am able to deactivate iMessage but I don't want her to "accidentally" turn it on and I noticed that if she were to do it she could select my phone number and start receiving iMessages addressed to my phone number. Is there a way to completely delete/remove my phone number only from that iphone? Thanks for the help

Hey there Eminent Czar,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below will walk you through the process of unlinking the phone number from your Apple ID on the iPhone 4, so that it doesn’t receive iMessages that were intended for your new iPhone 6.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages. If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Cheers,
-Jason

HT5538 remove unknown number from imessage

i have an unknown number licked to my account and cant remove it

- If you mean that you have a phone number specified in Settings>Messages>Send and Receive that means there was an iPhone with iOS 6 using the same ID as you used with Settings>Messages>Send and receive.
- If that is the case, get that person to Sign out of Messages on the phone and yu sing out of Messages on the iPod. The wait a half a day and then sign back in on the iPod. When you sign back in successfully, the person with the phone can sign in.

How can I remove "Album Artwork" from my iPhone and iPad?

I've posted about this before in other threads, but the silence from Apple has been deafening, Others in the community have agreed with the request but haven't been able to answer it.
I thought a thread of its own might get attention, since Apple won't talk to me otherwise.
I use music on my iPhone and iPad a lot, playing through speakers in my study or through the car system. It worked well at first, until I updated the operating systems.
Now, where I used to have a list of albums, music, or playlists I have large blank areas where album artwork would go if there were any - which in most cases there isn't. The iPad used to display 50 or more playlists in one screen,with some details of them. Now, it shows 15 blank squares with a crotchet on them, and the name of the playlist. That really isn't much use.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can there be a way to turn OFF album artwork on the iPhone and iPad? It wastes an enormous amount of screen space for stuff I don't have and don't want. It's a very unwelcome new "feature" (ie "bug").

Apple does not participate in these forums, so that would explain why you have not received a response.
I am not aware of a way to turn off Album art on the devices. If you want to let Apple know of your desire for this setting, go to www.apple.com/feedback and click on the appropriate link. That is where you communicate with them. They will receive the feedback, however they do not respond to it.

How can i remove my phone number from imessage and just use email address ?

Hi all
I've searched all the forums and still can't find an answer for what i need (what i think i need!)
I have an iphone without a data plan so whenever anybody who is registered with imessage sends me a message i will not
receive it until i am back on wifi.
What i want to achieve is to be able to receive sms messages from imessage users when i am not on wifi and then imessages when i am back on wifi.
My assumption is that if i can unlink my mobile number from iMessage and only have it associated with my email address that this should work, but i cannot seem to remove my phone number from imessage, in the settings > iMessage > send and receive it will allow me to un-tick the associated email addresses but my phone number is greyed out and will not allow me to untick.
On my home Mac i can go into messages app and deselect the phone number but not on the iphone.
One solution says to deregister my phone on https://supportprofile.apple.com/ which i have tried (i can't see how that would work anyhow as there is no phone number in that registration)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated,
thanks, Andy

Regardless if using your cell phone number or your Apple ID email address, iMessage requires an internet connection via an available wi-fi network or via your carrier's cellular network. Without a data plan and no internet access with your carrier's cellular network, an iMessage addressed to your email address can be received only when your iPhone is connected to an available wi-fi network no different when an iMessage is addressed to your cell phone number.
You cannot deselect or remove your cell phone number below you can be reached by iMessage at with iMessage on an activated iPhone. The iPhone's phone number is activated along with your Apple ID.

Remove number from iMessage

I am trying to remove my number from iMessage. Tried to sign out and sign back in to my apple Id but my number is always checked and trying to click on it to remove the check but the check mark remains there. Can you help me remove my mobile number from my iMessage to work?
Thank you!

I have a Dutch provider. Went to the USA and bought a US SIM card for my stay in the USA. I used Imessage and FaceTime there. When I came back to The Netherlands I removed the US SIM card and inserted the SIM card from my Dutch provider. I than turned-on my iPhone and ONLY the US number keeps coming up as the one and only number. I called Apple, talked with Apple but nobody seems to have to solution. Basic question is, how do I OR how does Apple removes my US number. Please note that I tried every solution known on the internet, but this seems to be a nut even Apple cannot crack.

Hi ShantellePhilips,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your brother's iPad is using your Apple ID and phone number, and you want to remove this association, you can reset your Apple ID password. See this link for more information:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
Note: If you no longer have access to the [iOS device] that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
