I have the new iOS 7 and am getting texts from another family members phone and they are getting mine how do I disable this without changing accounts

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You could simply set each device to only use a single telephone number (settings > messages > send & receive, but this isn't really an ideal solution since the other person can always change their settings and see your messages and send messages that appear as if they are from you. There is only one real solution and that's to have your own accounts.

You each need to have separate Apple IDs and separate user accounts. Better yet, separate computers as well.

I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data.. however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password. how can i resolve this without giving him my password

I sold a ipad 1.. I did a reset and cleaned out all data before shipping to him. however, the new owner tells me when he connects to itunes it is asking for my password. how can i resolve this without giving him my password? will a hard reset take care of this?

Have the purchaser go to Settings/Store, tap your Apple ID and then choose Sign out.
The purchaser will then need to tap Sign in and enter their own Apple ID for their iTunes account.

I'm also having this problem I've already tried changing the year stuff and its still the same I succeeded once when I toggled my credit card account but after that the same problem occurred.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS.

I have the new iOS 6.1.2 on my iPad. My wifi connects to my home network but keeps dropping it and won't reconnect. Did not have this problem with previous iOS. Apple, you have a quality assurance issue. Don't be like Microsoft where they send out pieces of junk with testing it.

Try the following to rule out a software problem:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Power off and then back on the router
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings
- iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
- iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Take a look at your remaining memory make sure you have enough memory to download the apps, also try restarting your iPhone by hold down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

It is a Continuity feature. See the quote below from: Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Phone calls
To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
Your iPhone needs to use iOS 8 or later.
Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.

For gmail you could try unlocking your account here: https://accounts.google.com/b/0/DisplayUnlockCaptcha. Don't know about hotmail.

Not sure if this Term is Relevant towards an iPhone but, my iPhone won't Post unless if it's plugged into a Charger.

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I deleted adobe and now files won't open with preview automatically like they use to. How do I fix this?

I think you solved my problem! Upon following your advice, I first got a message that I had not allowed a connection to the Tax dept computers, which would prevent the file I need to fill out from being e-filed. I proceeded to then open the file at the top of which was a security banner at which I chose the site as safe. I then filled in the first line of the form which autofilled other lines telling me I was connected with the tax site. In a few days when I have the data I need, I will actually attempt to file the return. If there is a problem, I will send another message. Thanks so much for your assistance!

I keep getting a pop-up which says "unable to purchase". I am also unable update any apps. I think they are related. How do I correct this?

Go to apple.com then, sign in to your account. After that enter your security questions then try again.

After updating the new ios in my iphone5, i can't use my phone because of the hardware as per the MAC specialist told me.

I am currently using iphone5 and I updated it last Saturday (August 2, 2014) for the new ios. After a day, the problem came out wherein it is automatically turn off then when you open it, command errors are coming out. I tried to restore it using itunes but error is occurred during the restoration. The MAC specialist I consulted suggested me to trade in my phone but unfortunately I don't have any cash for it. Why is it like that, I just updated the new Ios then all of a sudden I can't use my phone at all... I hope Apple Company can help me, its not any misused problems but a hardware or technical one by Apple.

Yes lucky me . If all troubleshooting has been done in Resolve iOS update and restore errors and if you have at least taken it into a store where they could try a restore themselves then that would suggest a hardware fault with the iPhone.
If you are out of warranty then it is correct that they would quote you an out of warranty service fee. From here it would be a matter of trying the steps above and if you have already tried then doing the service when you do have the cash.

The some words in perfectly formatted messages I email are merging or joining together likethis or evenlikethis when they are recieved. How do I fix this?

When I send emails that are perfectly formatted they are being somewhat truncated when they are received by whomever I'm sending them to. Words will be joined together throughout the email in combinations of two or three.
I know this is happening because when someone responds to my email, I see the email that I have sent them (in their response email) and it is messed up as described above. I recently asked one of my recipients if this was something that was common with my emails and I was told yes.
Here is an example, cut and pasted from an email sent via Thunderbird: "A number of years ago we were speaking with Stephanie MacDonaldat CIT about our film/video production services. Our Account Exec assigned to your account left a number of months later and we subsequently lost contact.
I just visited your web site and noticed thatyou are using video to help define your services and corporate culture. We'd love to be considered if you are planning any more productions.
One genre of web video thatyou may be interested in is 'Recruiting'.
Companies that wish to attract young, bright talent, arereaching out with fun and engaging videos distributed online and through social marketing. I noticed that you have a Careers page, but no video. Is this something that you could be interestedinat some point?
We recently produced one of these videos for an IT company located in Torontoand I'd be delighted to send you alink if you like..."
The version of Thunderbird I am using is 17.0 and I am running the program on a MacBook Pro with OS X 10.7.5 installed.
Fixing this issue is critical as my emails look very unprofessional and leave a negative impression with my contacts. Please tell me what I can do to fix this.
Best regards,
Derek Shipman

are you pasting text from another source into Thunderbird?
Does it appear correctly in your send folder?

IOS is showing my text messages on my husbands phone and vice versa

My husband updated to iOS6 earlier today and I did it later. Now, whenever I receive a text message from anyone he gets it on his phone. Also, whenever he sends it to anyone I get it on my phone.
Even more interesting, if I send a message to him, it shows up on my phone as being from me. If he sends one to me, it shows up on his phone as from him. And, if I send a message on the thread that would be myself to myself, it shows up on my phone as being from my husband. Our Cloud settings are turned off. We do share apple ID. We share a phone plan through verizon. Our cell phone numbers on the phones themselves have not changed.
Any ideas?

Try this....
settings>messages>send&receive
from there make sure only the number for the phone has a check mark beside it.
You may have to do this to both phones. I think this will work as my husband and I are having the same problem.

HT4356 I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I've verified everything. Th phone gets WIFI from AT&T. Computer's WIFI through Netgear, Charter. How do I resolve this?

I can't get air print to work from my iPhone 4. I have newest phone operating system, and the phone is air print enabled.
The phone gets WIFI from AT&T. My computer, to which my printer is wirelessly connected, gets WIFI from Charter Communications and a Netgear router.
That must be the problem. How do I resolve that?

For Airprint to work your iPhone and printer must be on the same local network. Your printer must support Airprint (see here for list: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4356).
Can you connect your iPhone to the Netgear router WiFi?
