2 IPhones Synced together

Hi I was updatin my fathers phone today so he could put music on It and I accidentally sync my phone with it and now when I get a text he will get the text too on his phone this is very anoying and frustaing and i cant find a way to fix it please help

This is being caused by using the same Apple ID for iMessage on both phones.  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".

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together.  I receive all my emails on the macbook and iphone just fine, but don't receive all emails on my ipad.  Some go to Trash because it says they're improperly formatted.  What gives?

    I have my ipad, iphone, and macbook pro all synced together, which generally works fine.  I receive all emails from senders in my address book in my Macbook Pro and iPhone, but some end up in Trash on my iPad, with the message, "This message cannot be displayed because of the way it is formatted.  Ask the sender to send it again using a different format or email program.  text/plain"  They appear to be mainly from competing platforms, android, etc.  Is there a workaround for this problem?
    Thanks-

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

    We have several iphones, ipod touches, ipad and mac's if we all install icloud under the same apple account will they all sync together...we don't want that to happen!!

    If any of you are like me, I had one single AppleID under MobileMe.  Under my AppleID I had two additional Email addresses, one for my wife and one for her Mother.  Each used their individual email accounts on their login on the home Mac and on their individual Iphones.
    In order for them to not lose their email acounts when mobileMe goes away and/or you move your appleID acount from MobileMe to iCloud, you simply need to beaware of the folowing.  Have each person with an email address under your AppleID MobileMe go to www.me.com; enter their email account and password in the corresponding fields.  However, don't press the login button. Instead press the sentence under the login fields that says something to the effect of "do you want to move/migrate to iCloud.  Follow the prompts from there.
    In essence what Apple has done--albeit not communicated anywhere--is that they automatically created AppleIDs for each of those additonal email addresses you have/had under MobileMe.  Therefore, use that email and password after moving from MobileMe to iCloud and your good to go.

  • Syncing ipad and iphone games together as one

    I was wondering how or if I can sync my ipad and iphone together so that my games are all in sync...for example, I have tiny towers and angry birds on both but the games are on two different levels because they aren't synced together...anyone know if this is possible?

    Wait a second-- so there is no simple way to sync data from games?  Isn't this something that could/should be possible through iClouds or Game Center or some kind of cloud system
    With apps that require a sign in and where the data lives online (Pandora, Spotify, Evernote) it's all there and updated, no matter what device you sign in on
    Kind of insane that it's not possible with games

    ust bought a Mac but music on my MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad which all sync together is not coming up on the new Mac.  I think I have turned on iCloud but still nothing.

  • How do you make the iphone, ipad and macbook calendars sync together?

    I thought I had everything set up to sync in icloud but just my iphone and ipad are syncing together and not my macbook. When I put a new event in the mac it shows up on my iphone and ipad but when I put a new event in my iphone or ipad they sync together but it does not go to my mac. Is there a setting I need to change?

    Hello JordanCS88,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Ical & iphone sync problem

    Each time I sync my iphone to my macbook all new appointments are transferred, but the times on the iphone are reset 4 hours earlier. The appointments and times stay are correct on the macbook.
    I have made new appointments on the iphone and they are successfully transferred to the macbook, but the time is changed 4 hours back on the iphone. Has to be an easy fix?
    I have checked the settings to be sure time zones and all are set correctly. Anyone have any suggestions? I really just want to use ical and the iphone calendar together. Thanks

    On your iphone open Settings -> General -> Date & Time.
    If time zone support is on, make sure the time zone is set correctly.
    If the time zone is set correctly, try turning time zone support and set time automatically off.
    make sure the time on the iphone is set correctly.
    Then try to sync the iphone again.
    Hope this helps.

  • IPhone sync with Outlook fails with sync server not starting

    Hi, Community -
    Up until a few days ago my iPhone synced beautifully with Outlook 2010 under Windows 7 on Parallels (running on Yosemite, MBP late 2014).
    I don't know what changed but I cannot sync the two anymore. I keep getting error messages. Either a Windows error message saying that Mingler.exe stopped working or an iTunes message saying that the iPhone could not sync because the sync server did not start.
    I have tried the following:
    Reset the sync history
    Uninstalled and re-installed iTunes (several times)
    Tried to restore to older backup versions (I keep backups of the iPhone backup files)
    Synced with other iTunes installations
    Restored the iPhone to a state about two weeks old (when syncing still worked)
    All to no avail.
    The Mingler.exe crash report under Windows gave these details:
    Problem signature:

    (Yes, I know ... I should not expect support on Windows issues here ... but by now I am pretty sure it is an iTunes issue.)
    Could anyone please help? I really need my calendar and contacts updated on my phone!
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    OK ... I am not going to go into the depths of how a company that makes such nice hardware cannot get its act together to write decent software, too. I'll also spare you my anger on why I need to sync my iPhone on a Mac throgh Windows in order to connect to the most widely used office suite worldwide. I guess I am just disappointed at the inferiority of Apple's software and simply cannot bear the ravings of clueless artsy users who believe they know something about computing because they are proficient Photoshop users. Phew. Sorry, venting ends here and now.
    In the meantime I managed to solve the above problem myself. I hope my description is helpful to other users encountering similar issues (and Google tells me there are many).
    My solution is based on the rationale that after all steps described in the initial post the problem must lie with iTunes. And it did.
    Here is what I did to fix the issue on my Mac running Windows 7 on Parallels:
    Uninstall iTunes and, importantly, also all other Apple software (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support etc.) from Windows using the Control Pannel utility 'Programs and Features'. The interesting thing is that uninstalling all Apple software will not remove all directories involved in mobile sync! I conjecture this is the source of the observed sync issues.
    Remove all software registry entries with Apple Inc. and Apple Computer Inc. as author
    I deleted entries under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE > SOFTWARE and HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE.
    Manually remove the directory C:\Users\__UserName__\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\SyncServices\Local
    This will result in the loss of all iPhone backup information you have collected in the past. The manual removal of this directory is crucial because it does not get removed automatically in the uninstall process.
    Restart Mac OS and Windows (just to be safe)
    Reinstall the latest version of iTunes
    Reboot your iPhone (just to be safe)
    Connect the iPhone and sync it by overwriting calendar and contacts on the iPhone from the Mac (choose the appropriate sync options in iTunes)
    These steps worked perfectly for me and I am now able to sync my iPhone with my calendar and contacts from Outlook 2010 again.
    Do let me know if this was any help with your sync issues.

  • I need to change my account information so my devices will sync together but i can log onto my old itunes account because i dont have that email and forgot that password, what can i do?

    i need to change my account information so my devices will sync together, however i do not have my email my ipod account is linked to and i dont remeber the password. In short i need to remove my ipod from my old itunes account but i cant log on to that old account. What can i do?

    You'll need to reset the password that account then before you can transfer these purchases to your iTunes library and your iPhone.

    If that doesn't work, you'll need to contact Apple support directly by phone and have them walk you through resetting the account information.

  • Keeping 2 phones synced together

    Hi there,
    I have a 3G iPhone that I want to keep as my "backup" phone, just in case something "happens" to my 3GS. Is there an EASY way to keep both phones synced together so that the data on both is exactly the same?
    I dont have exchange, so thats a no-go and I dont want to have to constantly be "backing up" and "restoring from backup" to sync call's, SMS's and such.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    -Aaron

    Keep making normal backups of your new phone. Don't let pictures accumulate in the camera roll. Download them to your computer and sync the ones you want on your phone to the phone's photo album. Backups don't include the camera roll.
    If you ever need to use the old phone, disable automatic syncing using this procedure when connecting the old phone to iTunes: "Prevent automatic syncing one time, without changing settings: Open iTunes. Then, as you connect iPhone to your computer, press and hold Command-Option (on a Mac) or Shift-Control (on a PC) until you see iPhone appear in the sidebar. "
    When the phone appears in iTunes, select the summary tab and select "Restore". When iTunes offers to make a backup, select the "Don't Back Up" option. After the Restore is complete, Tunes will present the "Set Up Your iPhone" dialog. Select the "restore from a backup of " option and select the latest backup for your new phone from the list.
    Information such as mail settings, text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound settings, widget settings, certain network settings, and other preferences including settings and data from third-party applications purchased from the App Store will be restored from the backup. Your info data (contacts, calendars, Safari bookmarks), music, videos, and applications will be reloaded by iTunes as they were before the restore. However, the applications will not be in the same order.
    Read this article to help make sense of this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    This procedure will allow you to essentially "clone" your new phone onto the backup one without constantly syncing it. At most, you will lose the info after your last sync/backup of the new phone.
