2 iphones both receive same messages and sometimes phone calls. What causes this?
My wife and I both have iphones but we are receiving each others messages and sometimes phone calls even though different phones. What is causing this? Both phones registered under the same user. Means she is seeing my texts messages and vice versa.
If you are receiving imessages intended for other devices you can fix this by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both devices if they are iPhones; or
On one of the devices go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the Apple ID, sign out, then sign in with a different Apple ID. Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for the iTunes & App store for purchasing if you wish; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud and other services.

I am not receiving text messages and sometimes when I send texts it does not go through
Hi,
My phone is not receiving text messages and depending on where I am it also does not send, it gives me a message failure. Then if I send it as a text message instead of imessage it will go.
Any ideas how to fix it?contact your wireless provider. txt messages is their service.

Make macbook and iphone dont receive same messages
How can I set up my macbook and/or iphone so that if "message" on my macbook is open, then iphone would stop receiving messages, i.e. I will not need to look at the same messages on iphone that I've already looked at on my macbook.
I'm somewhat positive on the fact that what you are asking to be done, cannot actually be done.

My iPhone 4S is extremely hot. It just turned off and wont turn back on. It had 65% battery and now its sahing to plug in to.charge. Im afraid to plig into outlet since its hot. What does this mean?
Hi Mende,
Thanks for the info. I am though not sure of the service centers here in Delhi (India) as they are really not concerned about the customer and try to make money by telling that things cannot be changed in warranty due to x and y reasons (my friend had similar issues and he was forced to buy a new charger even when things were in warranty). Though thanks for the info. -
I had my Imac27' for about 1 year (I bought it january 2011) , and it worked fine. But two days ago a problem started. The screen is turning black suddently, and it stay like that until I reboot it. It's not cool. The first time it happen it was hafter a very long days of video editing, I tought it was to hot. But now I just started up the Imac and 10 minutes later it happen. And now I transfer my desktop on my second screen, because the one of my Imac is constantly shutting of. What is this? Can I do something about that?
I´ve came across with the same problem and when I look out for solutions I found out that basically I had Three options
1.- Dim the brightness to the first 2 dots (that is the limit for me, anything above that shuts down again my screen)
2.- Replace an expensive part of the screen (about $900)
3.- Try with an external monitor to see if the problem was the screen or something else
What I did was to plug my flat screen to my mac with a Mini Display Port to VGA Adapter
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB572Z/B/mini-displayport-to-vga-adapter?fnode =51
And… Problem Solved! now Im going to buy a Monitor that gonna cost me less than half of the replacement parts, my main monitor will keep siting down if i dim it above the 2 dots but at least I will have the other to work properly
So that´s that, I hope someone finds this helpful
P.S. Sorry if my english it´s not that good -
My son and I both have iphones with the same Apple ID. Since I installed iOS this morning I have started receiving all my sons texts and when I send him a text it is delivered to both of us. How can I remove my phone from the joint Apple ID and remove myself from finding out what he is up to during Freshers week!
You have to use a different Apple ID for your son.

i have 2 iphones on the same account and all of a sudden my text messages are also appearing on the other phone. i haven't changed any setting
you most likely have imessage on both iphones and sending/receiving to same number on one of the iphones. go to settings messages > send and receive > check the numbers/emails on both iphones. once you uncheck the numbers/emails you dont want you will not be getting the messages any more. a little bit more info is helpful read this http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538.

I set up a passcode to ensure the security of my iPhone 5 but, when I enter it on the home screen, I repeatedly receive an error message and my phone locks. Is there a way to reset the passcode when I am unable to gain access to my phone?
I figured that was the case, but I've used the same passcode for years and I can't seem to figure out how I managed to screw it up when I set up my phone. Without being able to access my phone for a restore, how would I accomplish this? iTunes? Thank you very much for you help!

Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.
No.
