All my iPhones with different numbers ringing at once

Since the upgrade to IOS 8.02, when someone calls me on my ATT iPhone, it also rings on my Spring iPhone even though they are different phone numbers. What's up with this and when will it be fixed???

It is a new feature described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity and you can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and turning "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off.

HT204053 I have two iphones with different numbers that I use my apple ID for purchases, etc. How do I get my second iphone setup on icloud? I would like to use the features of icloud for both of my iphones. Thank you

I have two iphones with different phone numbers that I use. I have one of them set up on icloud now, but do not know how to set up my second device on icloud. Both of my iphones use my same Apple ID for purchases, etc. Is there a simple way to add a device to my icloud account? Thank you in advance for any help someone may be able to give me.

To move one of the phones to a different iCloud account (if that's what you want to do), go to Settings>iCloud and turn all synced data to Off. When prompted, choose to keep the data on your iPhone. After everything is off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. This will delete the account from the phone but not from iCloud so the other phone will not be effected. Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn iCloud syncing in Settings>iCloud back to On. When prompted, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new iCloud account.
You will then have to go to icloud.com and sign into each iCloud account separately and delete any unwanted data that you don't want on the phone syncing with each account.

Receiving messages on 2 iPhones with different numbers but same Apple ID. Went under Settings Messages and unchecked second phone

Receiving duplicate messages on iPhones and an iPad, all with different tele#'s but under same Apple ID# ever since upgrade to 7.0.4. Went under SETTINGS>MESSAGES>SEND & RECEIVE and unchecked all but that particular iPhone tele# and Email address. Still reverts back to same problem, Any further suggestions to resolve?

Visual voicemail is a carrier feature, contact your cell phone provider and see if it is set up for you to use.

I use 2 iphones with different numbers and different contacts.

These iphones (a 4 and a 4S) are used as local phones for 2 different countries. As a result I end up adding contacts into the iphone that I am using at any given time. However, the contacts are common and may be required from the other iphone as well. THe iphones have different names and are backed up separately. How can I ensure that if a contact is added to one is also automatically updated to the other? If not automatic, how do I sync them to a common contact list which keeps accreting contacts from both?

syncing contacts, with either iCloud or iTunes, mean all contacts or nothing. You can set up iCloud, that means adding a contact to one iPhone it will automatically appear on the other one, but all the other contacts will be on both phones, including the ones you might not want there, if you insist on keeping part of your contacts seperate.
If you don't mind having all contacts on both phones, do the following on both devices:
Go to Settings - iCloud - login with your Apple ID - turn on Contacts.
Hope this helps

2 iPhones with separate numbers ring when incoming call

My wife and I have separate iPhones (5 and 5S) running iOS 8.2. An incoming call rings on both phones. Did not happen before I downloaded 8.2.

You can turn it off by going to Settings > FaceTime and change "iPhone Cellular Calls" to off on each device. It is a feature of Continuity: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT6337
It is for devices using the same Apple ID. You may want to consider/investigate using separate Apple IDs. That is now more practical with new Family Sharing features: https://www.apple.com/ios/whats-new/family-sharing/

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device. The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
To answer your question, yes. There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
Settings > iCloud
Settings > Messages
Settings > FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores
The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account. The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.
Using Different Apple IDs for iCloud and iTunes

ITunes sharing among iPhones with different Apple ID's one computer WITHOUT home sharing, shared folder, etc...

I feel like I am losing my mind, here. A few things I want to clear up before you read my question:
No, I am not new to Apple. Yes, I understand that Home Sharing works for any group of devices authrized with my Apple ID. Home Sharing is not my issue.
1. My wife and I have different iPhones with different Apple IDs.
2. We only have one computer, on which iTunes is running under my Apple ID.
3. My iTunes library is far too large to paste into a shared folder. I keep my source folder on a 1TB external hard drive (not enough space on my iMac).
I just want her to be able to plug in and copy music onto her phone from iTunes. Home sharing is great while she's at home on the wifi, but not when she leaves. I created her own user name on my computer, set her iTunes (under her Apple ID) to pull from my library source file, and she can play everything fine, except that she cannot click and drag files onto her phone.
Any assistance would be appreciated.

iTunes Match is associated with one, and only one, iTunes Store Apple ID and country-specific store. The service cannot be shared between Apple IDs.

If we sign up for iTunes with the one account with the majority of the songs, is Home Sharing no longer available to the other two accounts?
Of course it is. iTunes Match has no affect on Home Sharing.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
A. What happens to the songs on the other two libraries? Can we never use them?
It is possible to consolidate the tracks from the other iTunes libraries into one and use that for iTunes Match. Make sure the one computer that hosts the library is authorized to play any protected content.
Indy Apple Guy wrote:
C. If we purchase songs/albums while in iTunes Match, and then decide not to use Match in the future, do we lose all our music?
Of course not. Any purchases go to the purchase history for the Apple ID that bought them and as long as the tracks are downloaded and backedup you'll have them as long as you maintain them. Keep in mind that iTunes Match is a service; you don't do anything "in" iTunes Match. It simply "is" in the background.

D. If we associate our child's iTouch, will it still keep the parental controls in place so it won't play certain songs that are not appropriate f
Yes, parental controls should continue to work as they have. Although I do not use them, perhaps someone else with experience will weigh in.

Is it possible to have 2 icloud (from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer?

I am inquiring as to if you can 2 different icloud accounts (that come from 2 different iphones with different apple ids) on the same computer. I would like both iphones to be able to back up to the same computer since we have different accounts/pictures/mail etc.

Yes, if you create 2 seperate user accounts.

Yes and no it really depends on what information you are putting on the devices.

When someone calls all the IPhones in the house ring, what is wrong?

When someone calls all the IPhones in the house ring, what is wrong.

You share the same Apple ID and in iOS 8 there is a new feature, which if you didn't share the same ID, you can answer a call on another device if one is another room as long as they are both on iOS 8. To stop this, go to Settings > Facetime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls. That will stop this for you.

It could be the activation server is unavailable right now, however have you or anyone else ever used that computer to jailbreak or hack another phone? That can have an affect on the hosts file. You can check this regarding information on the hosts file or security software problems.

I have 1 apple id, 2 5S iPhones with separates numbers and both ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

I have 1 Apple ID, 2 5S iPhones (1 private/1 work) with separates numbers and both phones ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

I realize that my wife could make her own iTunes account; however, she's been using mine for about 2 years now and this hasn't been an issue. I guess with the Family Sharing she can have access to all of our music and apps now with her own account.
I'll have to see if unchecking our emails resolves this issue.

I have two Iphones with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID. Will that cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

I have two Iphones 5 with different email addresses sharing one Apple ID account.Both are using IOS 8.
I would like to set up a new Apple Id for one of the phones and remove it from the old account.
If I do that, can I move all of the purchased apps and songs to the new Apple account?
Also, will sharing one Apple ID account with two devices cause problems with using messaging and FaceTime?

Sharing an iCloud account between two devices can be done without causing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, just go into Settings for each of these functions and designate separate points of contact (i.e. phone number only, or phone number and unique email address). While that works, you'll then face the problem where a phone call to one iPhone will ring both if on the same Wi-Fi network -- but again, that can be avoided by changing each phone's settings.
Rather than do all that, don't fight it -- use separate IDs for iCloud. You can still use a common ID for iTunes purchases (the ID for purchases and iCloud do not have to be the same) or you can use Family Sharing to share purchases from a primary Apple account.

How to backup multiple iphones with different iCloud accounts but same apple id?

I would like to back up 3 idevices each with different icloud accounts to itunes. But they use the same apple id so that itune purchases can be installed on each device (2 iphones and 1 ipad).
All I want to do is create a backup in case the phones need to be restored. I also want to back up before downloading iOS 8.
The Macbook Pro that I will back up to has one user and one itunes library.
Is this possible without mixing up address books and contacts etc? Appreciate if some one could direct me to detail step-by-step instructions if they exist or please tell me how I can do this.
Thanks.

With Family Sharing they don't need to have the same Apple ID anymore.
But backups to iTunes are kept separate among multiple devices; Apple ID and iCloud isn't involved at all. Just make sure the devices do not have the same name.
