4S question- why am I getting duplicate messages

The duplicate message has a +1 in front of the phone number, usually a family member. Also I am getting other family members text messages. Help
Thx

do you share your apple id with your family members?  IF so that is the reason why you are seeing each others imessage.
You can share apple id for music and apps, but should have separate id for imessage/icloud/facetime.
To resolve the issue go to all the devices - settings - message - send&receive - remove or uncheck the apple id.

    Why do I get duplicate messages on my screen, almost simultaneously, when I send a text message?

    The problem occurs with both green and blue bubbles.  As soon as I hit send the first bubble comes up on the right side of the screen with a "read" time under the bubble at the moment I sent it.  Then in a second or two, the same message/text comes up to the left side of the screen in a gray bubble.

  • HT1694 Why am a getting duplicate emails to my hotmail account?

    Why am I getting duplicate hotmail messages on my iPad?

    Do you see duplicates if you setup mail on your computer? This will help isolate the problem a bit, to find out if it's just with the iPad.
    And, what server settings are you using for your hotmail account? Don't include the username/password or email address.

  • HT5557 Why do I get a Message "Unable to Open Book" and how do I fix it?

    Why do I get a Message "Unable to Open Book" and how do I fix it?

    This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.
    Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • TS1702 "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

    The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unabailable" Why am I getting this message when I try to updaate itunes or quicktime?

    Before trying the update again, use Microsoft's Fix it solution at http://support.microsoft.com/mats/Program_Install_and_Uninstall. Use it to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime. It bypasses this not uncommon problem. When the solution finishes, the selected program will be uninstalled. It can take several minutes and I have seen as much as half an hour.
    After iTunes & Quicktime are uninstalled, try the update again.

  • When using Message Filters on an IMAP account I often get duplicate messages in my local folder where important messages are put. How can I stop this?

    Since switching to IMAP and using message filters, I often get duplicate messages in my local folders. I think this is a bug.
    That is my guess as to what is happening.
    When the IMAP part starts syncing with the server to fill in the inbox, the message filter system starts working before it is done syncing. I appears that the filters runs too quickly because as the filter moves a msg to a local folder, the sync thread think it need to download it again from the server. If the sync with the remote server takes a long time, I could end up with 5 or more copies of the exact same email.
    This has always happened for years now but I figured someone would have noticed it and fix it by now. Now I am wondering it it has something to do with my filters or my settings.
    Has anyone run into this before?

    Toys,
    I was just doing a search to see if anyone else was feeling this way! I am also at a university and I don't really like see thousands of unread messages in mail. (Fortunately, with Leopard you can select the dock icon to show only the messages in your inbox but I still don't like having the public folder in there).
    Please let me know if you find out anything and I will do the same for you. If I have time later I am going to run by our IT office later and ask them.

  • Why am I getting the message "project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission)" when trying to share my imovie to media browser?

    Why am I getting the message "Project could not be prepared because an error occurred. (File already open with write permission.) when trying to
    share to the media browser?   I have done this many times before and never got this message.  This is very frustrating.  Can anyone help me?

    Hi
    Error -49 opWrErr  File already open with write permission
    Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
    Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
    • Create a new User-Account
    • Log out of Your old one and into this
    • Re-try iMovie
    If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
    from Karsten Schlüter
    Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
    This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
    try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
    in Terminal copy/paste
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    Re-launch Mac

  • Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported?

    My computer is running Windows 7 - 64-bit. I have the latest softwear on both my iPhone and my iPad. I have installed Edge Inspect on these devices and have the Google Chrome edge inspect extension installed. I have been able to enter my passcodes for both devices in the Chrome extension. Why do I get the message that my operating system is not supported just yet?

    This is VERY interesting ... even though I got that strange message, once I linked my iPhone and my iPad to the Google extension, it worked! Whatever I display in Google Chrome automatically displays in the Edge Inspect app on the small devices. This is neat! The only problem that I can see is that Adobe needs to replace the error message with information about how to use the application.
