So just got another iPad - I want to use it for work.

I do want to use the same Apple ID
I do NOT want everything to sync with my old - email - phone numbers- bookmarks - pictures
I do want to be able to receive iMessages - same as my 1st iPad/iPhone.

Any way to do this?
 
How do you back up your stuff? iCloud or to a computer? In settings you can chose to sync different options. Just chose the ones you want.
 
Set up as new

Get a new apple id-you have to do this or else will go back to your old apple id and backups or syncs

Then set ipad up as new with your new apple id
