How do I stop other devices on my network from receiving me iMessages? I send an iMessage to someone and everyone on my network sees my conversation.

How do I stop other devices on my network from recieving my IMessage?
I send a friend an iMessage and other people on my network get to see the conversatiom.

Are you sending a group MMS? If so that is why. Also if others are using the same apple id as you then they will see all your imessage texts. You need to change your apple id on you device.

my computer is not recognizing my ipod classic gen 5. it shows the sad face then i did the basic troubleshooting until logo comes out...
still my computer is not recognizing my ipod.. it still says "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)"

See here: iPod displays a sad iPod icon
Note that it's often a good sign of a hardware issue with the iPod's hard drive meaning the iPod will need to be serviced or replaced.

I bought Time Capsule specifically to back up my computer at work. Only my computer. There are many computers within my department. I completed the steps the best of my knowledge but was unsure of which option to click. I clicked "I want to create a new wireless network". At the onset the instructions said I needed to connect with an ethernet cable, which I did. But I have no desire to connect to the internet, print from it, or have others access. I did deselect guest options, and I did put in passwords. But at the end of the process I got the message, "This device & its network services will be temporarily unavailable. Are you sure you want to continue."
I was worried this would shut me down and I wouldn't be able to continue to work. I don't necessarily need to connect wirelessly. It is connected via ethernet cable from machine to device.
Can you advise me how to continue? Did I choose the wrong options?

I bought an external hard drive called "Seagate Backup Plus" From the Apple store to back up everything on my computer and anything new on my computer. It came with Time Machine. The external hard drive disk had 1 or 2 Terabytes. Time Machine says "next backup: When disk is connected." "Oldest backup: July 2, 2014." & Also "Latest back July, 2."

HT1846 I tried to download latest windows support using the boot camp , but the download stopped beacause of a network proplem , can you help?!

I tried to download latest windows support using the boot camp , but the download stopped beacause of a network proplem , can you help?!

I have the same issues. I keep getting a "network error" even though my connections are fine. I have installed Bootcamp fine on another Macbook, but am having major issues with my brand new one. I have read the support forums where they say to keep trying because the servers are notoriously slow, but this seems a little ridiculous. Hope I can get some help as well.
Thanks!

PCI Device and Network Controller uninstalled

Having problems with downloading a pci device and network controller driver for presario cq57? Need help. my hardware id is PCI\VEN_10EC&DEV_5209&SUBSYS_3577103C&REV_01

Hi:
You need to install the Realtek Card Reader driver from your notebook's support and driver page for the PCI device.
Please do the following so I can find out what model wireless card your model uses...
Go to the device manager, find the Other Devices category, and click on the Network Controller needing drivers.
Then click on the Details tab at the top of the network controller window.
Now you see a Property drop down list and it is defaulted to Device Description.
Drop down on that and select the second item on the list (Hardware ID's).
Post the top string of characters that begin with PCI\VEN.

Microsoft RemoteFX Graphics Device - WDDM - Windows has stopped this device becuse it has reported problems (code 43)

I have a workstation with following configurations:
Display adapter NVIDIA Quadra K4000
OS: Windows Server 2012 Standard (64 bit)
Hyper-V virtual GPU: NVIDIA K4000
Hyper-V VM 1: Windows 8 Enterprise 32 bit
Hyper-V VM 2: Windows 8.1 Enterprise 64 bit
Both the 2 VMs above has the RemoteFX video adapter added and are supposed to have RemoteFX display working.
However it only works in the VM 1 (Windows 8). In the VM 2 (Windows 8.1) the display adapter (Microsoft RemoteFX Graphics Device - WDDM) is reported "Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems (Code 43)"
Anyone ever experienced a similar issue?
Much appreciated :)

My iPad 2 has stopped picking up mobile network signals once it moves out of a WIFI zone. Please advise

My IPad2 has stopped picking up mobile network signals once it moves out of a WIFI Zone. any possible reason?

Unbelievable.
After taking all the time to write and post that, I then switched "airplane mode" on and off again and it started picking up the 3G signal fine.
I had read a couple of threads about Ipads / Iphones "locking" onto GPRS and this being the only way to switch them back, but I DEFINITELY tried this before the IOS 7 upgrade and it didn't help.
So was it just a coincidence this time or did the upgrade make a difference? No way of telling I suppose so no help if you're reading this looking for a solution. I can only keep an eye on it and see if this becomes a regular problem......

Disable or turn off your firewall, anti-virus, and all security software and try the download again.

Well, you don't have to write down anything. Just click on the message and copy it. Then paste it here, or in a text editor (eg, TextEdit). And you can enter a string like "Audio CD" (w/o the quote marks) in the filter and see only messages containing it.
mds[71]: (Error) Server: Failed to register path "/Volumes/Audio CD"
That's the metadata server, used by Spotlight. AFAIK, Spotlight does not index audio CDs, so what is this about? I don't know. Maybe it's the cause of what you observe; or maybe it's another symptom. Thinking again of the network issue… have you maybe installed some third-party software related to both Spotlight and the network (Searchlight perhaps)?

My childs ipod and my ipad have the same email address and itunes ID how do I stop both devices duplicating everything, change email address or set up new itunes account?

On each device go to Settings> iTunes and App store> Turn off automatic downloads of Music, Apps and Books. Now a purchase will only go to the device from which it was ordered.
