Hello ctb4408,
With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

    Click on the blue Internet Recovery in nbar's post. That is a link to what computers can run Internet Recovery.
    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

    When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

  • When I add tunes from a CD into iTunes on myMacPro, shouldn't I be able to see them on my iPad and iPhone if I've got iCloud?  For some reason I thought the advertisement on TV said "add music here, and see it there.."  was that just photos?

    when I add tunes from a CD into iTunes on myMacPro, shouldn't I be able to see them on my iPad and iPhone if I've got iCloud? For some reason I thought the advertisement on TV said "add music here, and see it there.."  or was that just photos?

    Oh, wait -- also, you took about uploading CDs. I don't think *those* would automatically go to your other devices *until* you subscribe to iMatch or whatever that's called. You have to pay an extra $25 a year to get all your uploaded stuff in the cloud and therefore on your other devices. Anything you *purchase* from iTunes on one device would automatically be sent to the other devices.
    I did the Match thing, and it took a while at first to upload all the non-iTunes stuff, but then it worked. The whole thing is still new and has some kinks to work out.

  • Since updating to ios 6 messages that are being sent to me are also coming through on my husbands phone. how do i stop this from happening?

    since updating my iphone 4s with ios6 messages that are being sent to me are also being sent to my husbands iphone4. how do I stop this from happening?

    Do you have separate apple Ids? If not, set up a new Id for one of you. Ios 6 uses the apple Id to send messages across devices, that may be the issue you are having.

  • I have an IPOD Classic with purchased music and i want to sync it with my itunes account but I keep getting the message your device is synced with another PC. How do I resolve this issue?

    I have an IPOD Classic with purchased music and I want to sync it with a different PC but I get the message your device is synced with another PC.  How do I resolve this issue? I don't have the previous PC.

    I want to sync it with a different PC
    On that PC, launch iTunes. From the menu bar top of your screen click Store / Authorize This Computer.

  • I have added a work colleague to my family's members on iCloud so we can share the calendar for work appointments. However whe heakes purchases on iTunes I now get charged. How can I stop this happening?

    ive added my work coleague to my iCloud account so we can share the calendar on our I-phones for work appointments. when he makes a purchase on iTunes i now get charged though so how do I stop this from happening? also can I just share only work appointments or do i have to share the whole calendar with him? Can I select what he sees?

    Hi Frantic503,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    When you are the Family Sharing organizer, purchases are billed to your account unless the family member making purchases has an iTunes Gift Card or iTunes credit on their account. The attached article has more information on how this process works. 
    Family Sharing - Apple Support
    What I may suggest in your situation would be to discontinue the Family Sharing and use iCloud calendar sharing. Using this method keeps your accounts separate but allows you to still share your calendar. 
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Have a great day,
    Joe

  • We have two iphone 4s on the same computer and after we did the ios6 upgrade the text messages are being sent to both phones. How do we stop this?

    My wife and I's iphone 4s' are both on the same computer.  When we did the new upgrade to ios6 it started sending text messages to both of us from each other.  For example I sent my wife a text "Hey" and then my phone received a message from Me "Hey."  Another example is that a friend sent my wife a text and both of us received it from that friend, but not in a group message. We both deleted our icloud account and the problem still happened.  Then we checked that we were both signed in to our own personal accounts for imessage and we were.  After turning off imessage the problem went away.  Any ideas on how to make imessage work without having it send messages to both of us?  

    I also have the same problem and changed the send &amp; receive addresses . But it always seems to revert back to 2 addresses/numbers on the second , my wifes phone . Which isn't the best .

  • I'm running 5.0.1 (latest version) and every time I open my browser it asks me to install the same version (v 5.0.1). Irritating. How do I stop this or revert to prior version?

    Install window pops up ever time I open the browser.

    This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed. Run the the iTunes installer to remove iTunes, then install the 64 bit version of iTunes.
    That usually indicates that your Apple Mobile Device Support has not installed. That's also what is being shown by the diagnostics (the driver is there but the application isn't).
    Let's try a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of why it's not installing under normal conditions.
    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
    http://www.rarlab.com/
    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
    Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone AMDS install.
    (If it offers you the choice to remove or repair, choose "Remove", and if the uninstall goes through successfully, see if you can reinstall by doubleclicking the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi again.)
    Does it install (or uninstall and then reinstall) properly for you?
    If instead you get an error message during the install (or uninstall), let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)

  • Opening any email in outlook now produces a "file download" window asking if I want to open or save this html file. The file type is always a (different) Firefox document. How do I stop this?

    This happens every time an email is opened, regardless of whether there is a file attachment and regardless of whether Firefox is running.

    Deleted it, restarted it. tried it again. no change. repeated the whole cycle. no change. thinking about uninstalling and reinstalling, but that won't reallyk change the settings.

  • Windows taskbar icons now appear after f fox 10 install, how can i remove this duplication?

    since upgrading to FF 10 in windows 7, the taskbar now shows multiple icons, so when f fox opens it occupies a different position in the taskbar but the original icon still remains. can you help remove this annoying problem. thank you

    Very simple:
    Close FF. Right click on the FF icon, un-pin it. Then start FF from the installer folder (most probably something like c:\program files\firefox\firefox.exe), drag the icon to the desired position on the win7 task/superbar and re-pin it. That's it.
    Have fun. :)
