When I send text messages through my ipad the picture that appears up next to my message isn't me. It's a random picture from a friend on Facebook. How can I make the picture me?

1. Open your Contacts app to the entry for yourself, and see what image you have set.
2. If you do not have a contact set up for your self, do so (including adding the image you want to use),
3. Open the Settings App > Mail,Contacts,Calendars and set My Info to your contact entry
4. Still in the Settings app, go to FaceBook and turn off Contacts unless you really want to use FaceBook for your contacts.
