How do I stop unwanted texts?

I am getting texts from gmail account members that I don't know
How can I stop this?

Are they coming in through iMessage?
There isn't anyway to block unwanted messages at the moment.
What you could do is turn iMessage off so you only receive SMS messages.

How do I stop unwanted contacts on facetime

how do I stop unwanted contact on facetime this party keeps sending me messages and I have asked them to stop but they wont.

The Mail app doesn't have a spam filter, any filtering that you want to do needs to be done before it reaches the iPad - if you log into your account via a browser, does your email provider have any settings/options that you can enable ?

How can I stop unwanted scam emails ex: someone wats to give me $2,500,000.00

How can I stop unwanted emails? Here is an example:
Good Day,
Although, I do not know you in person, I have received your contact via, personal search while seeking a reliable but obscure individual to assist me in this pending transaction. It became necessary for me to seek your assistance as i want you to assist me in investing my share of the money in your Country.
Let me start by introducing myself. I am Mr.Wong Cheng director of operations of the Bank Of Japan,United Kingdom . I have an Obscured business suggestion for you . In 2003, the subject matter; ref: bb/boj/bank/0012 came to our bank to engage in business discussions with our Private Banking Services Department. A client of ours informed us that he had a financial portfolio of 8.35 million United States Dollars, which he wished to have us turn over (invest) on his behalf and i was the officer assigned to his case.The favored route in my advice to customers is to start by assessing data on 6000 traditional stocks and bond managers and 2000 managers of alternative investments,this yielded funds in just 2 Years.
In mid 2005, he asked that the money be liquidated because he needed to make an urgent investment requiring cash payments in Europe.I undertook all the processes and made sure I followed his precise instructions to the letter and had the funds deposited in a security consultancy firm,He told me he wanted the money there in anticipation of his arrival from Norway later that week. This was the last communication we had, this transpired around 9th October, 2005.
I made futile efforts to locate him I immediately passed the task of locating him to the internal investigations department of the bank of japan.Four days later, information started to trickle in, apparently he was dead. In line with our internal processes for account holders who have passed away, we instituted our own investigations in good faith to determine who should have right to claim the estate. This investigation has for the past months been unfruitful. We have scanned every continent and used our private investigation affiliate companies to get to the root of the problem.
What I wish to relate to you will smack of unethical practice but I want you to understand something,there is US$ 8,370,000.00 deposited , I alone have the deposit details and they will release the deposit to no one unless I instruct them to do so,i alone know of the existence of this deposit for as far as BOJ is concerned.
My proposal; I am prepared to place you in a position to give instruction for the release of the deposit to you as the closest surviving relation.Upon receipt of the deposit, I am prepared to share the money with you in half. That is: I will simply nominate you as the next of kin and have them release the deposit to you. We share the proceeds 50/50.
I am aware of the consequences of this proposal.I ask that if you find no interest in this project that you should discard this mail.I am not a criminal and what I do, I do not find against good conscience,this may be hard for you to understand, but the dynamics of my industry dictates that I make this move.
If you find yourself able to work with me, Contact me only through this email address (XXXXX),Please observe this instruction religiously. Please, again, note I am a family man; I have a wife and children.I send you this mail not without a measure of fear as to what the consequences,but I know within me that nothing ventured is nothing gained and that success and riches never come easy or on a platter of gold.
I await your response,here is my Email again (XXXX)

Unfortunately, spam is a disadvantage to having an email address and there isn't much you can do to stop receiving them. However, you can filter these messages using a spam filter. Check with your email provider to see what options they offer to deal with spam. If you are using apple mail, turn on the junk mail filter in the settings (Mail, preferences).

Hi,
The Mac has an App that is called Messages and one of the accounts in it is the iMessages one that can sync with the iOS one.

How can i stop unwanted advs?

It in unbearable, I can't open a web page without finding tens of underlined coloured words/phrases which end up being advs. How can I stop it? I tried to clear all cookies, but it is not enough.

You installed the "DownLite" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.
Malware is constantly changing to get around the defenses against it. The instructions in this comment are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
Back up all data.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
Right-click or control-click the line and select
          Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "VSearch" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Repeat with each of these lines:
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
/Library/Application Support/VSearch
/Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
/System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
From the Safari menu bar, select
          Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot" or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that the DownLite developer has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight is inexcusable and has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

How do I stop unwanted/promotional content delivery to the iPod?

I found I have a number of songs that have been pushed to my iPod that I do not want. How do I stop this unwanted promotional material in the future. I cannot find a setting in iTunes or on the iPod Touch. TIA

Never mind . . . we selected a couple of compilation CDs we ripped (7 CDs classed Various Artists) to sync. It really populates the By Artist view - wasn't expecting that, but makes sense. Sorry for the bogus post.

How do I stop my texts and pictures from going to other devices with same Apple ID

I share my Apple ID with my son on his Ipad and I phone. how do I stop my photos and messages from automatically going to his devices.

It should be iMessages which are going from device to device, you can turn this off in recipient device. The same sort of thing for Photos, however on your phone/ipad you can turn off 'Photo Stream" which will stop the sending to other devices. You can do this under Settings>Photos & Camera.
Regards,
Steve

How do I stop unwanted and too many friend request...

I started receiving way too many contact requests from unknown men, usually all military, Which I have been consistently blocking, but I want to know if my account has been jacked or what is going on and how to stop this, please. Anyone???

just some clarifications changing your privacy settings will only prevent unwanted calls and/or IMs from people who are not in your contact list. It will not prevent other users, both legitimate and potential scammers/spammers, from sending your contact requests.
