After downloading iOS7 on my work phone, all of my personal iMessages come in on both my personal phone and work phone.  How do I turn this off?

I recently updated my work iPhone to iOS7 and now all of my iMessages from my personal phone are also coming in to my work phone.  How do I turn this off?  I only want my iMessages to come in to my personal phone.

You can either turn off iMessage on your work phone, use a different Apple ID for iMessage on it (by going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID), or go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on your work phone and uncheck your personal phone number under "You can be Reached by iMessage at".

    Duplicate calls on two devices?

    That is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
    You can turn it off:

    My audio apps keep playing in the background after I answer a phone call. How do I turn this off?

    Hello BobWeaver,
    It sounds like we need to troubleshoot the software on your device as that is not expected behavior.
    I would perform steps 1, 3 and 5 from the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, then I suggest closing all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • My iphone 4s is dictatating everything. I can no longer scroll through the phone. I have to double click all icons How do I turn this off?

    My iphone 4s is dictating everything. I can't scroll through the phone. I have to double click on everything. How do I turn this off?

    With Voice Over, you highlight whatever you are trying to select and then double tap anywhere on the screen to select.
    So for your password of 1234 you have to
    "Highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
    In order to remove you have 2 options:
    Option# 1 – Turn off Voice Over
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “ACCESSIBILITY”
    Double tap screen to go into accessibility
    Once you are in make sure that EVERYTHING in that section are shown as “OFF”
    Option #2 - Reset your Phone
    Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
    Double tap screen to go into settings
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
    Double tap screen to go into general
    Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “RESET”
    Double tap screen to go into reset
    Select “Reset all setting” and continue to follow the instruction
    (When you reset, all of your data and music WILL NOT erase. So don’t worry about that)
    Hope this helps.

    It sounds that you are running the same iCloud account with two phones.  I recommend you to create a different iCloud account and you should be all set.

    You likely have iCloud turned on in at least Safari. If you don't want Safari to sync between these devices turn one of them off. System Preferences - iCloud - Safari (uncheck the box)

  • I mistakenly deleted all my contacts on my laptop by trying to sync my iPhone and laptop. How do I do this?

    I mistakenly deleted all my contacts on my laptop by trying to sync my iPhone and laptop. How do I do this?

    Have you looked at this articel:
    iPhone, iPad and iPod touch: Syncing photos via iTunes
    One method of syncing photos is too use the folder method.  You place the photos you want to sync in that folder and you identify that folder in iTunes as your syncing folder. If you change the folder the next time you sync the photos on your iPod from the first folder will be deleted and replaced with those in the second folder.  The photo sync folder can have one level of subfolders.  Each subfolder will appear as an album on your iPod.

  • I suddenly get this connection is untrusted after being on website for five minutes with it working perfectly I want to turn this off.

    I was on the website like five minutes with it working perfectly. My firefox install is new as of two days ago. It suddenly decided the website's certificate is not updated. It wasn't updated five minutes ago, but was working perfectly then. I do not give a ''durn'' what firefox thinks. I want to see this website. There is no ignore this BS and take me to my website button. I want to know how to turn this off permanently. I tried updating firefox and I still have the same issue. Make it stop. My firefox is updated as of five minutes ago to the very newest version. My windows version whatever is also automatically updated so that's not it. I do not use any local antivirus because I am behind a firewall. It can't be the firewall because other computers in my network not using firefox have no problem with the website. Also cannot be my windows because other computers which are just ghosted over copies of the same as this one one my network with same exact default settings also with no changes to them just like this one but using another web browser have no trouble at all with this website. Seriously, nothing is different on the other computers on the network except the use of firefox. They work fine for this website. Firefox brand new update even does not work. Tell me how to fix it. I tried to do the stuff listed in certain other posts here. Apparently this version of firefox is different from the versions talked about when I google because certain parts of the answer don't fit what I see when I try to follow them with this version.

    Make sure that the system time and date on your computer are set correctly.
    If "I Understand the Risks" is missing then this page may be opened in an (i)frame and in that case try the right-click context menu and use "This Frame: Open Frame in New Tab".
    You can retrieve the certificate and check details like who issued certificates and expiration dates of certificates.
    *Click the link at the bottom of the error page: "I Understand the Risks"
    Let Firefox retrieve the certificate: "Add Exception" -> "Get Certificate".
    *Click the "View..." button and inspect the certificate and check who is the issuer of the certificate.
    You can see more Details like intermediate certificates that are used in the Details pane.
    Note that some firewalls monitor secure (https) connections and send their own certificate instead of the website's certificate.

    Hi cody176,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    It sounds like you may need to set up a different Apple ID for iCloud so that you can keep your contacts, calendars, messages, etc. separate from your husband's.
