How do I take cell phone numbers off of my iCloud account.

I have all of my devices under the same accounts, both itunes and icloud.  I originally used the smae itunes account on all my family member devices so that we could share all of our purchases.  And the same cloud account so that we can share calanders and photostream(which has been very useful). But now Im finding out that I can select my wifes or daughters phone number and receive their imessages on my phone, or my ipad, air etc...  I dont want to be tempted to read their messages and I certainly dont want them reading mine.  Is there any way to manage my icloud addresses and pull our cellular numbers off the list so that no one can read each others messages.  Ive been reading many similar posts on this forum but am surprised to find that no one else has the same problem.

iMessage is separate from your iCloud account and does not use or even require an iCloud account.  To avoid getting each others text messages, just have everyone use a different Apple ID for iMessage (it doesn't need to be the same as thier iCloud ID).  Have your other family members go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on their devices, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with separate IDs to keep everyone's text messages separated.  To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, have them do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • How do I take my credit card off of my itunes account?

    I cannot download or update anything on my phone because every time I try to it wants me to put in my credit card security code, and I do but it says its invalid. However I should not need a credit to download free things and update my current apps. Also, I cannot find anywhere to take the credit card off of my account....

    You must have a valid payment method on file even for free apps.

  • How do I change the phone number associated with my iCloud account after replacing my phone and switching carriers/getting a new phone number?

    I recently replaced my lost iPhone but in the process, had to switch carriers and activate a new phone number. I backed the new phone up from iCloud which was still attached to the old number (for example, when I attempt to sync Keychains, the security code continues to be sent to the old number). I'm looking to update my iCloud account with the new phone number so I can sync my devices and any I might get in the future. Help! Please!
    Thanks

    Do you not set the phone number within Apple ID
    https://appleid.apple.com
    and not iCloud?
    May be wrong here:(

  • How do I swap cell phone numbers on family account

    How do you exchange phone (s) within a family account? Example - I take my daughters 5c phone and switch my number to it, she takes my old 4s phone and switches here number to it?

    You need to get new SIM cards from your carrier. You can't just swap them because the 4s and 5c use different size cards.

  • I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto?

    I have photos on my iphone 4 that i'm trying to transfer to iphoto.  The problem is when I plug the phone in, it only wants to transfer the new photos, not all.  How can I take all the photos off my phone and put them into iphoto? Even if there are duplicates, I'd like to make sure I get all the photos from my phone into iphoto.  Thanks

    To see all the photos on the phone, including photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, deselect the "Hide Photos Already Imported" checkbox. If the camera contains photos that have already been imported into iPhoto, those photos are hidden by default.

  • How do I take credit card information off my iTunes account?

    I just bought a new iPhone and had to update all my Apple ID information. It did not give me the option to opt out of including my credit card info. so I put it in. I bought $25 iTunes card and thought that if I booth the app it would automatically ask for the iTunes code. It didn't so I got charged on my credit card witch it now negative. After I figured that out I put the $25 on my iTunes the right way with no issues. Today I the app I purchased said I need to update it but as I to update is instantly brings up my credit card info. and says there is a precious purchase issue that needs to be resolved. How do I take the credit card off? Do I need to put money on my card in order to clear things up? And would erasing my card also erase the app I bought?

    First you will have to take care of the outstanding balance. Then you can only adjust the payment method in iTunes on the comptuer, not on the phone.
    To take care of the balance, you will have to contact iTunes support. http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html No one here can help you with this.

  • How do I split cells in Numbers 3.2?

    How do I split cells in Numbers 3.2?

    Hey big one,
    I don't believe you can split cells in Numbers 3.2. It has not been not considered a good practice because it can lead to trouble down the line. This is true about merging also. I used to do a lot of that in '09. What I have found that I can generally get the looks I am after (getting text to span multiple columns for instance) by turning off "wrap text in cell" and playing with the justification.
    Hope this is in some way helpful.

  • How do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to IPhone 4S

    how do I get my phone numbers from my IPhone 4 to my new IPhone 4S?

    Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer, or over the air with an email account that supports it. Not a good idea to depend on an iPhone or any cell phone alone for contacts which can be lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair by being dropped, etc.
    If you are syncing contacts with a supported address book app on your computer, you select the same under the Info tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync.
    If you are syncing contacts over the air with an email account that supports it, create the account with the Mail app on your new iPhone and turn Contacts on for over the air syncing with the account settings on the iPhone.
    Contacts are included with the iPhone's backup. If your iPhone is being backed up with iTunes on your computer, the first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes on a computer being synced with another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.

    What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization.  With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options.  If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast.  I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
    What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why?  How is this making it a better program?  I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was).  But to not give users the option to delete that list?  It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating.  I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature.  It smacks of rank incompetence.
    What improvement were they trying to make here anyway?  There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions.  Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
    And reverting to a previous version is no solution.  I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

    How can I get the phone numbers in contacts to appear with dashes between the first 3 numbers, the next 3 numbers, and the last 4 numbers?  Until very recently
    it did so.  Contacts on my macbook pro does show up this way.  I do have a mobile me account and in the past syncing was no problem.  What setting has changed?

    The phone number format as well as the date language and format and the time format are controlled by the Region Format setting. Go to Settings > General >International > Region Format.  When you change a region format, you can go back one page (to International) and see an example of the date/time/phone number format that your selected region format will produce.

  • How do i lock cells in numbers

    How do I lock cells in Numbers?  I'm trying to create a spread sheet that will have unused cells and I want to lock them so my associates don't accidentally fill them in and cause the finished product to look muddled.

    Wayne,
    I previously could lock tables in my Numbers tables in my Spreadsheets by tapping the top left corner and it would show up as an option to lock it. As of Numbers 2.0 (noticed today), I get the option to unlock tables, but not to relock them after making the corrections.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks!
