    Please, I just remembered that when I first bought my iPad, I didn't av an apple ID so the person that set up my iPad used his apple ID. I tried logging on with that ID and it worked. Now how do I use my own ID? I don't want to use the persons ID. I wanna use mine.

    Oh...that makes sense than...I knew something wasn't right.

    If you have been using his Apple ID and password for any apps, you will need to continue using that when apps bought under that account needs updating.

    Regarding the iMessage...you have to sign in with one designated apple ID. So it will have to be your friends when you log in for iMessage. However, once you do that...you can than change your send/receive email to make it yours.

    Yes...I have set up different emails for your send/receive setting. I believe that this is what a lot of families do when they share an apple ID.

    Owomano...also, it's best for you to begin using your own apple ID when you buy future apps. It'll just make it easier for you in the long wrong. Just remember to log in and out with the proper ID so you don't lose anything with syncing.

    Imessage activation on ipad3

    I'm not skimonkey, but maybe I can help...

    Do you have the Subject Field part of iMessage turned on? You might be accidentally typing your text message in the subject field versus in the actual body area of the text. So, check to see where you are actually typing...?
