After installing ios 6 to my iphone4 and my daughters iphone4s we now get each others text messages. How can we disconnect from each other so that I don't receive the text messages from her and her friends and she does not receive mine?

After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break.  We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages.  I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends.  Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing. 
So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting.  I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?

Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.
Here some tips, it was written for IOS 5 but it's still valid for iOS 6.

  • How do I disconnect my phone number from an Apple ID that I don't know the PW to?? Thanks!!

    Hi everyone! How do I disconnect my phone number from an Apple ID that I don't know the PW to?? I am trying to help my friend - she got divorced from her husband who has her phone number under his Apple ID. He claims he doesn't remember the PW and that Apple couydn't help him?! Any thoughts? Thanks!!

    1. He is lying.
    2. Require him to buy her a new iPhone in the settlement.

  • HT5622 The apple ID on my phone is different from the one on ICloud.  How can I change my ICloud ID??  I don't remember the password and it keeps asking for it!!!!!

    The apple ID on my phone is differnt from the one on ICloud.  I have gotten married and changed my ID for Apple.  My ICloud ID is correct in my PC but my phone is incorrect.  I don't remember the password for the ID for ICloud.  How do I change the ID???

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Did you create a totally new ID or just change your old one.

  • I can receive texts from one contact but when I reply she does not receive the text. It does not say delivered when the text is sent but does not say that it has not been sent.

    One of my long standing contacts cannot receive texts from me. I can see them from her. We both have iPhones . We have been texting for years.
    My outgoing message is sent as iMessage and stays blue. It does not say delivered but it does not say that it has been unable to send.

  • How can I cancel an existing Apple ID that I don't use and need anymore?

    As it is impossible to merge Apple ID's I would like to cancel the one that I don't use and need anymore. But even when I sign into my account there is no hint or else to just erase or cancel the whole thing. Any ideas? Thankx a lot!

    Thank you! I thought I've missed something somewhere between the lines...

  • How can I access my iCloud email account when I don't remember the password and Apple won't accept the answer to my security question?

    I set up an email account with " @me.com". I get a wrong password message when I try to log in. When I try to change my password I get an INcorrect answer message to the security question I'm asked my birth date so I know I have it right, unless I did a typo when I set up the account. When I choose email me the reset password lnk I cannot retrieve the email because it won't accept the password. I wanted to justemail Apple for instructions but cannot find an email address for that. Any help would be appreciated.

    I tried that without any luck. I was hoping I could get Apple to reset it for me or delete the account so I could recreate it or at least tell me what is listed as my birth date, the security question answer.

  • Why can't I create a new backup if I don't remember the encryption password from an old backup?

    I imagine this is so it can simply edit the old backup, but can't I just create a new backup?

    Same issue.  Have deleted the old backup and can't create a new encrypted backup without the password for the old backup. Can't create an unencrypted backup without the password for the old backup.  This is a functional software defect that Apple needs to fix.
    NOTE: I AM NOT TRYING TO ACCESS THE OLD BACKUP, I JUST WANT TO CREATE A NEW ONE.

  • I have one Mac, two users.  I wish to share a iBook with my wife, the other user.  I move a copy of the book folder to "public" folder, and in her account "added to library".  Does not show even though cue claims it is in her library.  No book.

    I find sharing books within my one computer near impossible - not easy as music is.  It used to be easier, but now with iBooks and some other changes this has become difficult.  Also - I can use the search feature to find the "books" folder, and use "Get Info" to find the supposed address, and then not find that folder location at all using a manual method stepping through Finder.  So a second question is:  where is this file hiding?  It is not under User/Library/Containers.... as claimed by "Get Info".  It seems that if I buy a book, the family can use it to put on their iPad.

    Part of me understands the need to have purchases protected.  I hope this does not get more and more complicated for "within family use".  It is nice to buy music and share it with my wife, as we used to do with books prior to the iBooks "upgrade" - which mostly consisted of making it impossible to share books.  Thanks though for your response;  I was hoping for some luck and that maybe I had missed some simple step.  To Apple:  lighten up.
    Best regards and thanks again for taking the time -

  • HT4623 why am i experiencing short battey life after installing ios 7?

    why am i experiencing short battey life with my IPad after installing ios 7 1 ?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

    In rare instances when using the Camera Connection Kit, you may notice that iPad does not charge after using the Camera Connection Kit. Disconnecting and reconnecting the iPad from the charger will resolve this issue.

  • HT1386 I want to give me old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music.

    I want to give my old iphone 4 to my daughter and need to get all her info from her old iphone 3 onto a new computer.  The PC she synced with is dead and she does not want to loose all her contacts and music. How can I do this?

    To effectively transfer ownership of the iPhone requires that it be "restored" as a new device.
    ...  The PC she synced with is dead
    The iPhone is not a backup device. Your computer backs up the iPhone, not the other way around. What you use to back up your computer is up to you - Macs use Time Machine. I assume PCs use something similar.
    If her PC backup is dead you will have difficulty extracting content from the iPhone since it is not designed to work that way.
    All her Apple purchases can easily be transferred to another iPhone. However, her contacts will be gone, as will any music or other contact obtained from sources other than Apple.
    There are a number of third party utilities that claim to be able to extract content from an iPhone. See wjosten's procedure here:

  • I recently got a used iPod touch from a relative. Version 3.1.3.  She does not remember her restrictions passcode and I need help with that.  Also, my iTunes does not recognize it.  Someone please help me.

    I Recently got a used iPod touch, version 3.1.3.  I do not know how to reset everything.  First I have tried to reset all settings, but it asks for restriction code.  Also, my iTunes does not recognize it.  Please help!

    Thanks King_Penguin for taking time to read and reply. 
    I just purchased this movie on Thursday, May 15, so just a few days ago.  I have never had any trouble whatsoever since I have been in Vietnam.  I have downloaded several movies and even music and they have all synced to my respected Apple products except for this purchase. 
    Sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean by studios and different versions.  Could you please explain? 
    I checked my purchased list in my purchase history under my account and there are no hidden items.
