BAUD and ECM settings - How to set?

Sending FAXes usually fails.
I use a WiMax connection via Clear to talk to my Ooma VoIP phone solution. I use the PDF-FAX option in my +Microsoft 2004 Office suite for mac:+ to send FAXes through Ooma.
Because VoIP depends upon internet quality, the receiving FAX machine drops the line when there's the slightest pause in the connection (it thinks the connection has been dropped).
Work around suggestions include making these settings on the _originating FAX machine_:
1) setting the BAUD to 9600
2) turning off ECM (Error Correction Mode).
Since the _originating FAX "machine"_ is my iMac, where/how can I make these settings?

Well, your printer has wired network capability, but not wireless.   Therefore, no Wireless Setup Wizard.
Why do you want it still (USB) wired to the PC?  The router does not care how devices (computers or printers or whatever) are attached to it - wired or wireless - they can all talk to each other with no problems.
So, unplug the USB cord, plug in an Ethernet cable between your printer and router and then re-run the HP install software, this time choosing "Network Connection".

  • Once and for all: How to set up and use SSH

    Yes, I know ssh has been discussed on and off, but never in its entirety; and yes, there are step by step instructions on the www, but at one point or another they skip a crucial instruction that would be necessary for unix-dummies (e.g. how to save and close the nano-editor in Terminal). So, please pardon my question:
    There are several points I'd like to ask for ssh-connecting two macs on a local network:
    1) In terminal-file-"connect to server" you can ask for an ssh connection to be set up. For this to work, do I need to create private and public keys first? If so, how? Please point me to a reliable and step-by-step instruction site.
    There are some free ssh-utilities out there, but their documentation is just not helpful enough for a UNIX-dummy.
    2) Apparently I managed to connect via ssh once (from the terminal, see point 1) to a local server (allowing remote connection set to ON at the server). But then, when I connected to that server from the client's finder and tried to get into my user account on that server it told me that no secure connection could be established. What's wrong here? Do I have to continue working from within the terminal to use this connection? That would be difficult for an average MacUser.
    3) What is the security advantage of an SSH connection on a local wireless network (Airport Base Station) over WPA2, if at all?
    4) And how to set up an ssh-connection over the internet cloud to safely build a remote control/desktop sharing connection, e.g., a friend's Mac when she has a problem?
    Thanks for your consideration.

    First I'm not sure what your goals are.
    1) In terminal-file-"connect to server" you can ask for an ssh connection to be set up. For this to work, do I need to create private and public keys first?
    If you have ssh keys, you can do this without passwords. If you have not exchanged keys with the remote system, you will be asked for the password of the user you are attempting to login as.
    If so, how? Please point me to a reliable and step-by-step instruction site. There are some free ssh-utilities out there, but their documentation is just not helpful enough for a UNIX-dummy.
    Log into the remote system. This could be via ssh.
    On the remote system, run the following command to generate an ssh key for that remote system:
    ssh-keygen -t rsa
    Generating public/private rsa key pair.
    Enter file in which to save the key (/Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa): <<take default>>
    Created directory '/Users/username/.ssh'.
    Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase): <<enter nothing>>
    Enter same passphrase again: <<enter nothing again>>
    Your identification has been saved in /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.
    Your public key has been saved in /Users/username/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
    The key fingerprint is:
    aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff:gg:hh:ii:jj:kk:ll:mm:nn:oo:pp [email protected]
    This will generate an ssh key for the remote system. This could be any system that support ssh, such as a Unix system, or another Mac.
    Copy the id_rsa.pub file from the remote system to your Mac. When I say "your Mac" I mean the one that you want to make the ssh connection from. The id_rsa.pub is found in the remote system's ~username/.ssh/ directory.
    Append the copied id_rsa.pub to your Mac's ~himbear/.ssh/authorized_keys2 file
    cat id_rsa.pub >>~himbear/.ssh/authorized_keys2
    Now when you ssh to that specific remote system, it will NOT ask for a password. The first time you ssh to any system, ssh will ask if the system is really the system you thing it is. But once you say "yes", it will not ask that question again.
    Repeat for every remote system you wish to log into using an ssh key.
    2) Apparently I managed to connect via ssh once (from the terminal, see point 1) to a local server (allowing remote connection set to ON at the server). But then, when I connected to that server from the client's finder and tried to get into my user account on that server it told me that no secure connection could be established. What's wrong here? Do I have to continue working from within the terminal to use this connection? That would be difficult for an average MacUser.
    MacUser. A flash from the past, as in the MacUser magazine.
    ssh is not used by default when you make connections. If you want an ssh connection, you have to establish it intentionally.
    ssh can be used to pre-establish a tunnel (or tunnels) that other services can use. Once an ssh tunnel is establish, connections to local host's tunnel port will be connected to the specified remote port. For example:
    ssh -L 5901:localhost:5900 [email protected]
    will establish a tunnel that VNC can use. The VNC client would connect to localhost display 1 or port 5901.
    ssh allows multiple -L tunnels to be specified on the ssh command line.
    3) What is the security advantage of an SSH connection on a local wireless network (Airport Base Station) over WPA2, if at all?
    Inside you home. Not much. Unless of course you do not trust the other members of your family. That is to say, others having your WPA2 password, and are thus on the inside, and can sniff you packets.
    4) And how to set up an ssh-connection over the internet cloud to safely build a remote control/desktop sharing connection, e.g., a friend's Mac when she has a problem?
    If you are using the Mac OS X Leopard built-in *Screen Sharing* and you are connecting to another Mac's built-in Leopard System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management (Tiger's Apple Remote Desktop), then in the *Screen Sharing* preferences, is an "Encrypt all network data" option.
    If you wish to set this option in advance, you can launch *Screen Sharing* by double clicking on System -> Library -> CoreServices -> Screen Sharing.app
    You can *Screen Sharing* connections over the net using iChat. This is one of the easiest ways to take control of their system. Of course they need to cooperate. I use a Free AOL Instant Messager (AIM) account for my iChat connections. And as a side benefit you can text, audio chat and/or video chat with the person at the other end.
    If you are NOT using the build-in Mac OS X *Screen Sharing* and/or you are NOT using the build-in remote Mac OS X remote management server, then this is a situation where an ssh tunnel would be a very good idea.
    However, setting up an ssh tunnel between 2 systems across the internet gets complex.
    In this case you might want to consider using something like LogMeIn.com which will deal with all those nasty home routers without needing to to do nasty router configurations, and it will be a secure connection. LogMeIn.com will not be as fast as a *Screen Sharing* connection or a VNC connection, but it will be secure and easy to establish. Again, this is only if you can not to Mac to Mac *Screen Sharing* using built-in Mac OS X remote desktop.
    Now if you want to roll your own ssh tunnels for VNC, then I'm just going to outline the things you need to do.
    If the remote system is behind a home router, you need to configure that remote home router to "Port Forward" port 22 on the Internet side to port 22 on the target Mac. Bonus points if the internet side using a high number port to discourge net bots from knocking on your door. Use the ssh -p 12345 option to connect to the high numbered port that is forwarded to port 22 of the destination Mac.
    On the remote Mac you need to run a VNC server. If this is a Mac, then Leopard System Preferences -> Sharing -> Remote Management (Tiger's Apple Remote Desktop). If it is not a Mac, then for Windows, TightVNC, UltraVNC, RealVNC are possible options. Linux has a built-in vncserver, or you can install x11vnc which has the advantage of displaying the desktop screen.
    Once you can access the remote system, you use an ssh command like the following:
    ssh -p 12345 -L 5901:localhost:5900 remote.system.address
    You can get the remote system's address by having the remote system surf over to http://whatismyip.com. Then they can tell you the IP address.
    If you are going to be doing this a lot, you can get a free no-ip.com or dyndns.org dynamic DNS name for the remote system, and the remote system can run a dynamic DNS client (available from no-ip.com or dyndns.org) which will keep the dynamic DNS name updated as the remote person's ISP change's their IP address.
    Finally, now that you have an ssh tunnel for VNC traffic, you have your VNC client connect to
    Address: localhost
    Port: 5901
    Depending on your VNC client you may need to specify Display 1 instead of Port 5901. Or if you do not get a Display or Port option you specify localhost:5901

  • Two Apple Displays and Mac Pro - How To Set Up?

    Hello! My boyfriend surprised me yesterday with a second 23" Apple HD Display! Fed Ex delivered it and I had no idea it was coming! Before I take the plunge I need to know how to set it up so it works as with my current Mac Pro and 23" display so that they work together, as one big screen. I have the ATi X1900 graphics card with 512mg of RAM and two DVI ports and assume that will be sufficient to run both displays.
    Is it possible to use them as one large screen? If so, how do I set that up? If I just plug it in and restart, will the two screens work as one or as separate screens?
    Thanks!
    Lisa

    I did the same thing last night, and if you haven't just plugged it in already, it's really as simple as that.
    I get a little video glitch on my main startup screen when I'm booting up, but otherwise it just works smoothly. Plug it in, and go.

  • How do I know if my L7600 is wireless and if so how to set it up?

    About 2 years ago I purchased an OfficeJet Pro L7600 printer and have it wired to my PC.  I recently bought a router and a laptop and want to be able to print wirelessly to the printer and still have it wired to the PC. 
    I don't know if my printer is wireless.  I tried to follow the manual and went to "setup" on the printer and then "network."  It has a "view network setting" and "restore network defaults" but no set up wizard.
    Can you help?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Logitech Z506 5.1 Speakers and Apple TV - how to set up?

    Hi,
    As of now, to watch movies I've got an old Mac Mini conntected via VGA to an HP screen and a 2.1 Logitech speaker system plugged into the Mini. For listening to music, I simply plug the speakers into my iPhone or Mac.
    Now that my 2.1 speakers are broken, I was thinking about buying the Logitech Z506 5.1 speakers and an Apple TV so I could stream music and video from my iOS and OS X devices and use my HP screen in combination with the Logitech speakers.
    There are two basic problems for this set up to work:
    1. The Apple TV doesn't seem to have a connector that would allow me to directly plug in the Logitech Z506 speakers.
    2. My HP screen does have subpar speakers built-in and thus no connectors for external speakers – therefor, I can't use the screen as an intermediate between the Apple TV and the Logitech Z506 speakers.
    How would I have to set up the Apple TV, the Logtiech Z506 speakers and my HP screen to be able to have 5.1 sound for watching movies and listenting to music?
    Here's a link to the Logitech speakers I'm refering to, http://www.logitech.com/product/surround-sound-speakers-z506
    Please let me know if you need any additional information.
    best, Ian

    Ian,
    You'll need a digtial to analog converter to connect your digital Apple TV to your analog Z-506 speakers.
    One like this will output 5.1 sound for you.
    http://www.amazon.com/Panlong-Audio-Digital-Decoder-Converter/dp/B00AMC2J1Y
    The Apple TV connects via TOSLINK/optical cable to one side, and you connect your speaker's mini-jacks to the blue mini ports (each port handles 2 channels).
    I have the same issue connecting my digital out TV to analog computer speakers.

  • Cross-tenant email and split domains - how to set up?

    I've successfully deployed exchange 2010 sp1 in /hosted mode with multi-tenancy and the install is working great. We are running into a problem configuring the send connectors
    for inter domain email and split domains. We have several customers wanting to only put a couple of email accounts on the exchange server and have the rest of their email accounts resolve to a pop server at an external location. Currently I have a internal
    send connector set to relay email between the domains on the server so they can send emails to one another. Directions for this were found at: http://www.zerohoursleep.com/2010/10/step-by-step-starting-with-exchange-2010-sp1-multi-tenant-sending-and-receiving-emails/
    I created the connector: new-SendConnector -Name 'TestOrg' -Usage 'Internal' -AddressSpaces 'SMTP:domain1.com;1','SMTP:domain2.com;1' -IsScopedConnector $false -DNSRoutingEnabled $false -SmartHosts '[127.0.0.1]' -SmartHostAuthMechanism 'None' -UseExternalDNSServersEnabled
    $false -SourceTransportServers 'Exchange' 
    I added all my internal domains to the connector listed above and email is able to flow from one domain to another.
    My problem is we have a number of customers who need split-domains set up where users who arent on the exchange server are relayed to an external server. Example to route unknown users on a domain to google my send connector looks as is: 
    New-SendConnector -Name "Internal Relay - domain1.com" -Custom -AddressSpaces "SMTP:domain1.com;5" -SmartHosts aspmx.l.google.com -SourceTransportServers "server"
    This results in an internal loop error when sending from one internal domain to another. Sending from an external domain everything is fine. If I remove the "internal" connector listed above the split-domain send connector works perfectly fine delivering locally
    and to the external server.
    How can I make it so both send connectors work?

    Hello,
    did you solve the problem and how?
    Thanks,

  • Just bought new Palm and not sure how to set it up best to sync

    I just bought a new Palm TX. The manual says to connect the sync cable to palm and to computer usb port and connect a/c adapter to palm and an outlet and charge for 3 hrs which I'm getting ready to do. Before I start setting up my whole system I to am trying to determine a couple of things first.
    Based on all forums I've read today, I want to use the missing sync with ical and address book rather than palm desktop. I also plan to sync using bluetooth rather than usb. (My goal plan is to use this set up to digitally implement kgtd - so the categories issue is key for me).
    Thus I wonder, is there any reason to insert the palm desktop software cd and/or install isync palm conduit. It seems missing sync 5.x replaces isync palm conduit and installation of the missing sync will remove the isync palm conduit anyway.
    Is there anything I will possibly miss with palm functionalities if I don't use that CD first and then switch to missing sync? Are there any pros or cons to loading isync palm conduit and Palm hotsync software and then switching almost immediately to missing synch with ical and address book. I guess what I'm wondering is, are there anything from the CD that I need or downloads or updates that I initially need to get that I can't get without new palm software installed initially rather than only having the missing sync installed.
    On the other hand, are there benefits in immediately installing missing sync and not bothering with mucking things up with the new isync palm conduit and palm hotsync being on my system.
    I seem to have isync 2.3 automatically from 10.4.8. I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9 given the many problems that seem to be reported from the upgrade regarding syncing and I have very little in ical or address book as of yet and an old palm desktop 4.2.1 that I haaven't used in over a year. I am not interested at this point in transfering anything from the old palm desktop (not so much there either and none of it current) although would be interested in (unless told it could cause other problems for me or be in any way suboptimal) keeping it as a sort of archive.
    Also, why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use bluetooth? Any pros or cons in doing/ not doing this - both using bluetooth and connecting the USB cable during the initial charge?
    Any guidance on some or all of these things would be greatly appreciated.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Great questions, and we'll attack them one at a time.
    Q: '…is there any reason to insert the Palm Desktop software CD and install the iSync Palm Conduit?'
    A: Actually, yes - there is. Mark/Space very strongly recommends that you perform one last synchronization event with the Address Book and iCal using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit prior to installing and configuring the Missing Sync. It is therefore necessary that you synchronize using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit at least once prior to your initial use of the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit require that the HotSync Manager and Transport Monitor—components of the Palm Desktop—be installed in order for iSync to launch, supervise and terminate a synchronization session with a Palm device.
    Q: '… are there benefits in immediately installing the Missing Sync and not bothering with… …the new iSync Palm Conduit and Palm HotSync…'
    A: No. It is critical that you overwrite the contents of your Palm device with data from the Address Book and iCal during the first synchronization event with the Missing Sync for Palm OS. Absolutely critical. Users who skip this required step always end up with synchronization problems later. In order to do that, you have to have first equalized the contents of the Address Book and iCal with the contents of your Palm device. Otherwise, you'll be overwriting the device with empty record sets. The easiest way to equalize them is to synchronize at least once using iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit. Because the iSync Palm Conduit does not support categories, all field labels and extended attributes supported by both the Missing Sync for Palm OS and your device, you'll have some record cleanup tasks to perform as a result. But, don't skip that initial device overwrite requirement, or you'll put your data at serious risk and only spend much more time later on cleaning up the resulting mess.
    Q: 'I am afraid to, at least initially, upgrade to 10.4.9…'
    A: Don't be, though it makes little difference if you apply update before initiating the iSync synchronization, or afterward. You indicated that you have an old copy of Palm Desktop installed which you haven't used for more than a year. If that copy is not as recent as the once bundled on your CD-ROM, then install the CD-ROM copy. If they are the same version, or are different versions but neither are Palm Desktop 4.2.1 revision D, then download and install that package before configuring and using iSync. The package is available here:
    http://www.palm.com/us/support/macintosh/macdesk421revd.html
    If you aren't sure, then install this downloadable package, as it can only improve and not damage your currently installed Palm Desktop configuration.
    Q: '…why do I need to connect the USB port while doing the initial charge if the plan is to use Bluetooth?'
    You don't, although your device can obviously only charge with a USB-powered cable or cradle, or an AC adapter-powered cradle. I recommend that you initially configure it to synchronize via USB with both iSync and then with the Missing Sync for Palm OS, and then pair it using Bluetooth and synchronize using that pathway if you wish. Remember two things: while Bluetooth may be more convenient, USB moves substantially greater data in a shorter period of time—important during slow, initial synchronization events—and, the Missing Sync for Palm OS also supports network synchronization with your T|X, using it's WiFi capability. Initially using USB, later reconfiguring for Bluetooth and then for WiFi gives you literally one-button choices when using the Missing Sync for Palm OS.
    In summary, you ought to…
    • update the Palm Desktop suite to 4.2.1 revision D using the downloadable package
    • add your device to iSync via USB using the Enable Palm OS Syncing… option under the iSync Devices menu
    • be sure to change the label of any contact address you want synchronized to <home>, as iSync ignores addresses not labeled that way
    • merge the data in the Address Book and iCal with your Palm Device
    • back up the Address Book data using the Back up Address Book… option in that application
    • back up your iCal data using the Back up Database… option in that application
    • install and configure the Missing Sync for Palm OS
    • set your three Mark/Space conduits initially to overwrite your handheld with data from your computer
    • synchronize initially via USB and include the TimeCopy conduit in this effort
    • follow the Bluetooth wizard instructions in the Missing Sync to pair your device and add the Bluetooth option
    • follow the network wizard instructions enable WiFi synchronization
    • create sets of conduits appropriate for your workflow, and associate them with an interface: USB, Bluetooth or network
    • correct your handheld data to reflect address data field label changes, calendar and contact categories, and so on
    • synchronize again via any chose interface to propagate the corrected data

  • TS3999 Outlook and Icloud calendars : how to set up?

    After a prompt from my PC I just installed the Icloud syn on my PC and allowed it to sync my Outlook calendar and contacts.
    Instead of duplicating them as I thought they all have been sucked into Icloud. Totally unacceptable!!
    Outlook is my work tool - the contacts are my work contacts. I want them in Icloud as well but not exclusively. All my day to day work is in Outlook!!
    How do I get it back as it was. URGENT!!!

    I don't mind keeping it as a duplicate - but my contacts and calendar have to be in Outlook.
    For example, I just scheduled a meeting from an email for this afternoon using the meeting button - it went to Outlook. But it is pretty lonely in there now since all the other meetings are in Icloud.
    If icloud works too then even better.

  • IBook, Gateway Laptop and 2 printers, how to set up wireless printing?

    I have an iBook G4 with an Airport Card, my wife has a Gateway Solo with a wireless card. We have an existing wireless internet connection. We have two Epson printers that we would like to be able to print to wirelessly.
    I'm assuming that I need to connect both printers to a wireless router, and I assume it may be another router and not the one we're using for internet. What do I need to do to get both of us to be able to print wirelessly to either printer from our laptops?
    Would appreciate some help. Thanks!

    Well I spent a lot of trial and error getting this to work, however I use the Airport Extreme (white UFO thing) router from apple. From the router that is transmitting your wireless connection, there should be some way to hook up your printer(s) via ethernet cables. If your printers are too far away from the router, you may have to purchase an additional router. My Airport extreme can only utilize one printer at once (yours may be able to have multiple peripherals connected to it). In order to use two, I would have to pruchase an additional airport transmitter (like an Airport Express) and have the 2nd printer wired to that.
    The only hangup I had was figuring out why my windows computers didn't see the wireless printer. I needed to have installed Bonjour (Apple's peripheral communication software) on all the computers on the network and it can be downloaded on Apple's support web page. Depending on your router, you may not need to.
    Your router, whatever it may be, should work in a similar fashion. Consult your router's manual for the proper connection methods/possibilities. Hope this info helps you some.

  • Udisks and udisk-glue -- How to set up with awesome wm?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to get my optical drives and USB drives to automount (running awesome wm launched with SLiM).
    Based on this link:  http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Automounting
    I've decided to try to do it with udisks and udisk-glue.
    1)  I have a relatively new arch install that has udisks2, do I need to do anything different because of that?
    2)  I understand that I need to make a udisk-glue.conf file (according to the link above)
        (a) Where do I put it?  (which directory)
        (b) Should I make any changes to this version?
    filter disks {
    optical = false
    partition_table = false
    usage = filesystem
    match disks {
    automount = true
    automount_options = sync
    post_mount_command = "echo \'naughty.notify({title = \"USB:\", text =\"mounted %device_file on %mount_point\", timeout = 10})\' | awesome-client"
    post_unmount_command = "echo \'naughty.notify({title = \"USB:\", text =\"unmounted %device_file on %mount_point\", timeout = 10})\' | awesome-client"
    filter optical {
    optical = true
    match optical {
    automount = true
    automount_options = ro
    post_mount_command = "echo \'naughty.notify({title = \"CD-Rom:\", text =\"mounted %device_file on %mount_point\", timeout = 10})\' | awesome-client"
    post_mount_command = "echo \'udisks_glue:mount_device(\"%device_file\",\"%mount_point\",\"Cdrom\")\' | awesome-client"
    post_unmount_command = "echo \'naughty.notify({title = \"CD-Rom:\", text =\"unmounted %device_file on %mount_point\", timeout = 10})\' | awesome-client"
    Thank you for your advice!

    I believe udisks-glue needs udisks not udisks2. As for the configuration, have you checked the manpage for udisks-glue?
    As an alternative, you could try devmon (part of the udevil package).

    I am now unable to see the artwork.
    Is it no longer possible with the updated software ??

    Correct, Apple have removed that feature. However, you can still see the artwork of the song that's playing; it's shown in the Now Playing indicator at the top of the iTunes window. It is small, but if you click on it, a larger version pops up.
    Also, in Albums View, you can see the album artwork.

  • Need mailto: links in Word docs to open both *in Gmail* and *IN FIREFOX* how?

    I have several "how to" documents at work that I've created to help make remembering the details of certain tasks easier. For several of these, I've got a mailto: link to some contact person which also has a subject line pre-filled with our account number so that I (or whoever uses the document) doesn't have to copy/paste all that stuff. So the link is in a WORD DOC not in a web page.
    I keep two browsers open at work: Chrome, which is logged into my personal Gmail account, and Firefox, which is logged into my work email (which uses Gmail). It is critical that when I sent a work email (say, by clicking the mailto: link in the Word doc file) that it opens in FIREFOX so that it's coming from my work account.
    What currently happens is that I right click the link and click "Open Hyperlink" and it launches a CHROME window, loads Gmail, and prefills the to: and subject: fields. *sigh*
    I've set Firefox as my default browser through its settings. I also shut down Firefox entirely and followed the directions [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_Your_Default_Browser#Force_Firefox_to_make_itself_the_default here] which say:
    ''If Firefox already thinks that it is default, exit Firefox completely, go to "Start Menu -> Run" and enter this into the text box:
    '''firefox.exe -silent -setDefaultBrowser'''''
    I've done both of those things, and it still opens the mailto: link in Chrome. Could someone please help me?

    Well now I'm a bit miffed. Gmail was already set as the default Firefox mail client. Firefox is set as the default browser. But when I followed the directions here: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Changing%20the%20e-mail%20program%20used%20by%20Firefox#w_windows-7-and-vista for how to set the mailto: protocol default program in Windows 7 it only offered me 4 programs to choose from, and no way to add a new one or choose something different. Google Chrome was the only one that was a web browser, so it's the only one I could use for Gmail (unless someone knows a way to set up something else to send gmail email from?)... how LAME!

  • Just restored my iPhone from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?

    Just restored my iPhone 5  from iCloud. My wife and I have always shared one iCloud ID. But since my restore, when a call comes in, it rings on both my phone and hers. How can I make this stop?  We had it all set up fine before the restore, and there was a trick to it in the settings.  I've noticed that since my restore, her phone has picked up what looks like the symbol of a phone in the upper right corner of the display, right next to the Bluetooth symbol.

    Hi Big Slick,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
    It sounds like your iPhones may be using a new feature in iOS 8 called Continuity. The following article and information explains how to set up this feature for phone calls. You can review the information on the setup to reverse this effect. My suggestion would be to turn off FaceTime on one of the devices.
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
    Phone calls
    With Continuity, you can make and receive cellular phone calls from your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac when your iPhone is on the same Wi-Fi network.
    To make and receive phone calls, here's what you need:
    Sign in to the same iCloud account on all your devices, including your Mac.
    Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later. Your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
    All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    All devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same iCloud account. This means any device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off. Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
    Cheers,
    Joe
