Removing or Permanently Disabling iMessage App from Secondary Devices (iPad)

Hi,
I've got a problem and I'm not sure the best solution.
I've used my apple id on all my devices (iMac, iphone & ipads); this way it's easy to manage maintenance in iturnes and app purchases.
I use the message app on my iphone and don't want to use it on my other devices (ipad).
I don't want the messages from my iphone to be displayed on my ipad.
It's too easy to turn on/off the imessage app from system preferences in the ipad, and the app itself (with the content) isn't removed even if turned off.
How do i remove the imessage app from my secondary devices or atleast unlink the imessage app between devices?
Thank you,
  Ayall

I could not communicate with my son for about a week after I upgraded to IOS 7 - Apparently iMessage must have activated on my phone or I somehow turned it on.
This has nothing to do with why you could not send iMessages unless your son had an iPhone previously, had iMessage set to On and then got a new, non-iOS device and did not deactivate iMessage.
Unless someone has an iOS device or a Mac and has iMessage set to On, you cannot send them an iMessage. It will ONLY send as an SMS.

    How do I permanently delete purchased apps from itunes on my iphone?

    I have spent a good part of my evening trying to figure this out then finally found this page which confirms what I was thinking... It doesn't appear possible! ARHHHH!!! There are loads of posts saying how you can do this, when what they appear to be describing is how to remove the apps from their iphone/ipad and not actually from the list of every app you have ever installed which appears when you go into the "Apps Store" > Updates > Not on this iPhone.
    It would be really nice to be able to remove programs from this list as I am sure I am not the only person who over the years have installed some apps which where not very good and I don't want to be reminded of them or to ever see them again quite frankly.
    I can do this very easily from my Android phone in Google Play which is Google's version of the App Store.
    I think things like this remind me why I prefer the ease of use of my Android phone... Ho hum! Maybe one day some geeks at Apple will realise that this would actually be a really useful thing to be able to do and enable it.

  • HT1977 how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account?

    how do I permanently erase purchased app from my itunes account? It bothers me a lot when I try to syn my device to a new computer and all the apps i've ever purchased get downloaded to a new computer even the ones I never use anymore.

    Sorry, but you can't permanently delete an app. You can hide them:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919
    but the app will still sync to your computer if the app is present on the iPad. If the apps are downloading directly to your computer and hiding doesn't do the job, you'll need to turn off automatic downloading.

    Hi I accidentally erased my text/iMessage app from my iPhone 4. How do I reinstall it?

    The built in app can't be delete, check your other app folders or screen.
    If you still can't find it, go to settings - general - reset - reset home screen layout.

  • How do I delete the iMessage app from my iPad which I downloaded myself? It does not have an x on it for me to click on upon holding down on it. ???

    How can I delete the IMessage App from my IPad? I downloaded the app myself. It does not show an X on it when held down either. Any ideas?

    You can't delete the app iMessage.
    You can turn it Off or "hide" it with Restrictions.

  • Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Is there a way to move my calendar, reminders & iMessage apps from the dock to the menu bar?

    Workspaces are stored as XML files in your user profile on Windows or the user library on Mac, in a subfolder called, strangely enough, workspaces.
    You may have run afoul of the new "content grabber" in the center of a frame that allows you to move the content without changing tools. Looks sort of like a dounut, or the center spot on some SLR camera focus viewfinders. You'll either love it or hate it, and it can be switched on or off in the View menu.

  • How do i transfer apps from one device to another?

    how do i transfer apps from one device to another?

    Correct, but if you have your apps and app settings set to sync with your Google Account, they should have the data with them.

  • How do I transfer my purchased apps from my old ipad to my new ipad?  All with the same Apple ID and Itunes account.

    I just purchased a new Ipad with 4G yesterday and I am trying to transfer my purchased apps from my old Ipad to the new one.  We have one Apple ID and one Itunes account that we are using. 

    Connect the old iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and then sync the iPad. A backup will be created when you sync the iPad and your purchased apps should transfer into your iTunes library on the computer. Just to be safe - manually transfer the purchases as well.
    After the sync completes - right click on the iPad name on the left side under "Devices" and select - Transfer Purchases. Let the process complete - and just because I am OCD - I would sync one last time. Eject the iPad and quit iTunes.
    Then connect your new iPad to the computer and launch iTunes again. You will be given the opportunity to set up as new or to restore from the backup of the old iPad. Choose backup from the iPad - let the process complete - and then follow that with a sync with iTunes to put all of the content that was on the old iPad onto the new one.

  • How do I transfer apps from iPod to iPad 2?

    how do I transfer apps from iPod to iPad 2?

    If you want app data to transfer you have to restore the iPod from the backup of the iPod. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup. Also see:

    No. You configure your new one to use the same Apple ID. Then re-download from iTunes:
