Ipad mini getting everyone's text messages

I purchased an iPad mini for my 9 year old son for his birthday. I set it up so that he could share my Apple Store account for purchasing his applications. Somehow he is now getting texts that are directed to my iPhone and my wife's. How do I disconnect him and set him up with his own text messaging?
Thanks

only 2 options you have is
1. disable imessage in his ipads settings
2. make a special appleID just for him it could still be using your creditcard and email and the likes
but it have to be seperate from yours then you can also use facetime between his ipad and other devices you can't if the same appleID are used

    Stop sharing an Apple ID. That is the cause.

    Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on each device and make sure only the phone number for that device is checked.

    Well, you use the different accounts such Phone Numbers, email addresses. And make sure that your iPhones have no receipient address in common, then you can avoid this issue.
    I use iMessage on my iPhone, iPad, MacBook Pro, iPod touch.
    Each of them has a individual address to receive messages, so they won't combine all the messages among all the devices.
    Try this, if it doesn't work, tell me, I'll figure another way out.

    Ipad mini is stuck with the message 'this ipad hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks....' if you click the OK button nothing happens, cannot get rid of the message and cannot even power off b/c the message is on the screen.
    The ipad had not been backed up b/c it kept saying not enough storage available

    A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.
    No content is affected by this procedure.

  • How do I get my old text messages from my iPhone to my new Galaxy?

    Recently, I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy 4.  I upgraded my account from Sprint and got my new phone at Best Buy.  I'm trying to get into my iTunes because I know I recently synched my iPhone on my iTunes a little over a week ago.  What I'm trying to do is get into my iTunes because I know my iCloud is backed up on iTunes.  I got all of my contacts and pictures already transferred from my iPhone to my Galaxy.  Now, that last thing I'm really worried about is my old text messages. There is this old text message that I'm needing to save, but I can't seem to figure out how to get my old text messages to my new phone.
    Is there some way I can get those back or what I need to go to Geek Squad to help me with this?

    Apple has not designed the iPhone for loading up old messages across phone platforms.
    Screenshot the important stuff on the Android or use a tool to archive the old SMS on your computer.

  • Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac

    can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
    It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.

    Hi julian KAYE!
    You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,

    If you are having issues using OTA (over the air) to update...
    Do the Update using iTunes on your Computer.
    See the Using iTunes Section Here...

    Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer

    Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".   If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

  • My iPad 2 won't receive text messages and is not sharing any data with my iPhone 4. Please help!

    My iPad 2 won't receive text messages and is not sharing any data with my iPhone 4. Please help!

    The iPad receives Text Messages through Apple's iMessage feature. Make sure this is turned on on your phone. Also, text messages received at your phone number are not shared with the iPad. Make sure that iMessage texts are being sent to your EMAIL ADDRESS

  • Is there a way to get a deleted text message back ?

    Is there a way to get a deleted text message back ?

    Yes, you could Restore your iPhone from your backup on iCloud and get the text. Any texting, or other items, you did between the backup and the Restore would be lost.

  • Anyone know the cost of getting a detailed text message printout?

    Anyone know the cost of getting a detailed text message printout?  Thanks!

    Thanks to the community for your replies.
    Hello pederson3,
    Thanks for posting. That’s a good question. We don’t have an additional charge for you to be able to obtain text message details. If you simply want to view certain information such as date, time and number, as Grothka mentioned, you can login to My Verizon and view the last 3 months of messaging details.
    If you would like to retrieve the content of the text messages, as budone stated, we do require a search warrant. Keep in mind text messages are only kept approximately 3-5 days but never more than 10 days due to system limitations. I’m sure you’ll find this information helpful. Have a great day.

  • TS3694 I can not download iOS 6 to my iPad 3, getting an error 6 message. What do I do?

    I can not download iOS 6 for my iPad 3, getting an error 6 message. What do I do?

    Here are a couple of things that you can try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to update again.
