I currently have two iPhone 4 phones and an iPad connected to the same apple ID (My iPhone and my wife's iPhone and iPad). How do I set them up so that MY texts in iMessage don't appear on her iMessage and vice versa?

I gave her her own Apple ID, but that erased all the music as well as the calendar entries on her iPhone and iPad.

Help, PLEASE!

you need to go into each devices iMessage settings and change the apple id associated with them. note, you cannot remove an apple id until you've added another one.

Just remember, if you are sharing apps as a family, you can keep the same iTunes ID, but each device can have its own personal Apple ID. Both my iPad and iPhone have the same contact, and my wife has hers set up to her own Apple IDs
