updated to IOS6 now I when I send a text I get a copy sent back to me?

I had the same problem and here is how you fix it. Go to settings/messages/send & Receive and remove the check mark from your other cell number. You only want your phone number to have the check mark along with the email addresses. Hope that helps.

  • IOS7 update deletes my contact info when I send a text, why?

    Since the IOS7 update I have been losing my contact info (Most recent saved numbers within 2-3 months) when I send a text message and when they respond it comes back as a blank number and no name. I send goup text quite often and I have to go to to that numbered text to see who it is. I have discussed this with several family members that has a I4 phone and I5 phone and they are experiencing the same thing. It is very annoying that I am ready to turn this phone in. I  powered the phone off and did the home button and power button to reboot and still experiencing the same problems.  Please help!!

    I found the problem. If you set your text alert tone to none. The phone will not make a message sent sound. I set it to Tritone and it started make the sound again.

  • TS2771 what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all

    what to do my ipod touch 4g is updated to ios6 now it has a white scren and wont turn off and to top it off the homebutton does not work at all please help me

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    -When it says place the iPod in recovery mode use this program instead of the buttons.
    RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • TS1398 Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    Updated to ios6 now lost all wifi connection both iPad and iPhone no longer connects to wifi

    not much response in here which surprises me...
    Anyway... AS I am still looking for answers, I will share a couple of points that I realised...
    in Airport Utility, I noticed that my iphone MAC address was actually showing as client connected, despite my phone network showing the spinning wheel next to the network name for ever and never actually connecting.
    I am currently testing the router mode in Network to be on DHCP and NAT mode with a range from .2 to .200
    My phone is now connected....
    Everything seems to be ok and happy so far...
    strange that this router and phone have worked together for at least a couple of years, the phone works everywhere else, and all other toys connect to my WIFI just fine. the list is as follow:
    airport extreme
    Zeppelin air
    2x apple tv
    2 ipads
    iphone 4s
    2 mac
    1 pc
    I have litterally just hard reset the router with a pin just now as a last resort... same...
    I will leave the router as DHCP & NAT until a potential firmware or OS update...

    You are only as young as you feel......
    This is an example of how you can select the exact content that you want to sync to your device. You do not have to sync the entire iTunes library. You can pick and choose the music, apps, books and so on that you want to sync. This is using music as an example.
    Connect the iPad to the PC and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Music Tab on the right.
    Click on only the albums or playlists that you want to sync.
    Click on the Sync Music Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You can do this with apps, books, movies .... Whatever .... You have the freedom to sync whatever you want.

  • Downloaded IOS7 on iPhone 4, have sprint as carrier, now when another Sprint phone sends a text to my sons iPhone, Im getting a copy of the texts being sent to him.  Plus when I send a text, it shows as coming from my sons.  What's up, how can I fix this?

    I have downloaded ios7 on iphone 4s, Sprint is my carrier.  When I send a text to anohter iphone ALSO using sprint, it shows as coming from my sons phone.  When he gets a message from another iphone using sprint, I get copies of his messages.  Go figure.  It seems to be only other IPhones and Sprint users.  Hasnt' happend with android phones texting him, or him texting to androids or carriers that are not sprint.

    The fact that the problem only occurs when iphones are texting you leads me to think that iMessage may be the culprit. The fact that it is only iphones using SPRINT however is weird. Try turning imessage off on both yours and your sons phones to see if the problem persists. If it does, it may be a carrier problem.

  • HT4623 When I send a text to my wife I getthe same message transmitted back to me how do I correct this?

    After updating my iphone 4 to IOS6.1 when I send a Text message to my spouses phone  I also receive the same text message back on my phone How can I correct this?
    I also cannot get myphoneto sync with itunes.

    This could be caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage.  If you are, to fix this you have two choices:
    On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Note: you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores; or
    On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at".

  • When I send a text message to my husbands iPhone he does not get it

    When I send a text to my husbands iPhone he does not get it.  It worked before the new update.

    Either one of you needs to uncheck the other's phone number under settings&lt;messages&lt;send &amp; receive or one of you needs to sign out of the apple ID in iMessage settings altogether by pressing the apple id on the page and choosing 'sign out'

  • When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending.

    When I send a text message, daughter's iphone records as also sending. I have an iphone 4 and she has an iphone 5. We both recently updated to ios 7. This problem did not happen before the update.

    Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and tap to clear the check mark next to your phone number on her phone and her phone number on your phone. That should stop the dual posting.

  • HT3529 my iphone just stop connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #. i cant get a text going to my cell #. help

    my iphone just stopped connecting to my wifi and i have tried all the recommended troubleshooting with no success. Also when i send a text , it shows it coming from my email address instead of my cell #.  i dont receive any text going to my cell #. help

    If i understand what you are saying then you are seeing the WiFi indicator after connecting but Apps are saying that they are not connected to the internet?
    Your router may not have given your iPod a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
    Sometimes the fix can be to restart your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPod (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
    If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

    Hello Todd:
    I had this very same problem when trying to activate iMessage and Facetime on my iPad. When I signed into my account, I actually wasn't even presented with the option of a phone number - notwithstanding the fact that I was contacting others (and being reached by others) by my phone number on my iPhone. Having both the iPad and the iPhone on, I kept trying to turn off and on both iMessage and Facebook in Settings on both my iPad and iPhone, hoping that that they would eventually sync. But this proposed solution by others was unsuccessful for me.
    Then, I found out what the problem was: When my iPhone was activated, it automatically registered my phone number for contact purposes. I was using iMessage on my iPhone for quite some time without actually being signed into my Apple ID account. When another device - such as an iPad or iPod - is being used for iMessage or Facebook, you are prompted to sign into your Apple account, using your username and password. These two devices will not register your phone number as an option for contact unless your iPhone is signed into your Apple account as well. In other words: your phone number will not be synced.
    Go into your "Settings" on your iPhone and click on "Messages". Scroll down and click on "Send & Receive" (which should be followed by your phone number). On the next page, you will be able to determine whether or not your iPhone is using the Apple ID for messaging purposes. (Note: This information applies for Facetime as well.) If it is using your Apple ID for messaging, than at the top, you will see "Apple ID: <your particular e-mail account>" in Blue text. However, if you are not using your Apple ID for messaging, than you will see the words: "Use your Apple ID for message". Even though below this you will see your phone number checked as the contact source, you will want to click the tab that says, "Use your Apple ID for message". Sign into your account (just as you must sign in for iMessage on your other devices), and just choose your phone number as the "Send & Receive" contact. (The option of the e-mail will be there too, but you don't have to check it. And later on, you can delete it as an option.)
    Now that all of your devices are signed in using your Apple ID, the other devices should register your phone number as a choice. It may take a little while, however. What I did was sign out of iMessage on my iPad, and then sign in again. If the option didn't appear, I just went back and signed in again, and kept doing this until the option for the phone number appeared.
    Again, this will work for Facetime as well. The solution is to sync your iPhone account with the other devices by using your Apple ID for messaging (and Facetime) purposes.
    I hope that this works for you, Todd!   ~ Brian
