HELP!  Question on Apple ID and privacy

Hello.  I have an apple ID but currentlyl, all my text messages are viewable on my ipad (which is a family one and uses my apple ID).  I want to use iMessage but not have them viewable on other devices.  I created a separate Apple ID but will that delete all data from my phone and start from scratch or will I be able to still retain my information?  All I want to do is somehow create a privacy setting where you can't read my messages on the ipad.

Ralph,
Thanks for responding so quickly!  Here's where it might get tricky- so it's the same APple ID on both iphone and ipad (we just originally set it up that way).  So if I just change the settings, that's a temporary fix, but anyone (kid/spouse) can easily chaneg that and then the ipad would start getting messages again, right? 
I still want to be able to use iMessage on my iphone but just don't want them appearing on the iPad.
On the iPad: Settings > Messages > iMessage: OFF
Go to appleid.apple.com.  Log in.  Go to Password & Security.  Answer your security quesitons.  Change your Apple ID Password.

    -If you established a rescue email address, there will be a link on the "Passwords & Security" page of id.apple.com.  Clicking the link will send the reset to your rescue email address (NOTE:  This is not the same address as your Apple ID email)
    -If there is no link on the page, then you didn't establish a rescue email address.  Contact AppleCare at 800.694.7466 (If you are in the US), and ask for account security.  You will need to answer some questions to verify your identity, AND you will need access to a computer to generate a temporary support pin.

  • HT5312 Hi, i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it

    HI. i'm forget answer for may security questions for Apple ID and can't reset it, after verified email adress the link for reset questions is not available.

    The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - if you've just added an address then it will be an alternate/secondary email address, which is a different setting/address on your account (a rescue email address can only be added by answering 2 of your questions).
    You will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • Question regarding apple tv and macbook pro

    i been having problems on connecting my macbook pro to my apple tv. I have the last vision of iTunes, also i have the iTunes account on my macbook, and on the apple tv and i also have already activated home sharing, but still i can't get it connected. what should i do?

    No. At any rate, Apple TV is a media streamer and all content would be available on Macbook directly so there would be no reason to do so.

  • I need help with 2 apple IDs and how to handle them.

    i have 2 apple ids and I was told I can only use one and I will lose all of the items I have purchased under the one I want to delete.  Is there any way to transfer the info over to my other Apple ID?

    You won't lose media purchased with your IDs.  Just authorize your computer for each ID in iTunes under Store>Authorize This Computer.  Then sign into the iTunes store using the ID you want to use for your purchasing in Store>Sign In.  What you may have heard is that your computer can only be associated with a single ID every 90 days.  (It becomes associated with an ID when you enable Automatic Downloads in iTunes>Preferences>Store, download previous purchases for an ID or subscribe to iTunes Match.
    Purchases can't be transferred between IDs.

  • Help-Question on Apple TV Voltage.

    Hi, I was gifted with an Apple TV model number A1427 from Australia. I am currently residing in Malaysia.
    The power cable that comes with the apple tv does not confirm to the Malaysian electrical standard. After googling, I look under the device for voltage infomation  and it listed 100 240V. Therefore, can I switch the Australian cable pin to a Malaysian cable pin without the risk of frying the device? 

    Yes, just get an adaptor plug for the electrical recepticle. The power supply in the ATV will adapt to the new voltage/cycles.

  • Apple tv3 and airport express

    I don't know...... a way to send the music from Apple TV3 to an airport express?!
    Thanks for help!

    Both Apple TV and Airport Express are pulling the music from iTunes.
    Your question is a bit unclear.....are you trying to stream an online station from AppleTV over to Airport express so you can use the analog audio output on airport express?

  • What do I do if I forgot my security questions for Apple ID.

    They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

  • My macbook wont reboot apple logo and spinning wheel thats it.

    I watched youtube videos and tried command r and now it keeps popping up you need to restart your computer. Everytime I restart it, it pops back up! HELP!!

    Apple logo and spinning wheel is different than the need to restart your computer message.
    See this Apple note on the spinning wheel at boot. If you are running OS X 10.7 or later, then rebooting with the command and r keys will get you into recovery mode, where you can use Disk Utility to repair the hard drive.
    FYI, the need to restart your computer message in multiple languages is called a kernel panic, which is usually, but not always, caused by a hardware issue. If you have OS X 10.7 or later, you should be able to run the Apple hardware test. Prior to that, you need the disks that came with the system to run it. If you can run it, run the extended test when prompted, which can take over an hour to run.

  • How do you reset the security questions when you havent used a credit card to make any purchases, only the gift cards. Apple support will not help me even though i know my account and apple id and password?

    Have a new computer and now cannot access itunes without knowing the answers to the security questions. Apple support cannot reset as we have never used a credit card when purchasing prior, have only used gift cards. Can provide apple id and password and all other account details but still no help. Have we to open a new3 account and start again, this means losing a lot of credit on the existing account?!

    I have the same problem. I didn't set a rescue email for some reason. To find out weather you hav a rescue password: Go to appleid.apple.com, sign in, go to manage account and then password and security if you do there will be a link below telling you that you can send an email to it. If not the link won't be there. Hope this helps.
