Bookmarks appear on other iphones, how do I stop this?

I understand most people are frustrated when their bookmarks disappear - this too happened to us when we upgraded to ios 6, but after a reboot everything went back to normal.
We have three iPhones on our ATT account, and one iPad (wifi only) in the house.  Now we have weird versions of all our bookmarks on each other's phones, and our iPad has all of our bookmarks from our phones.  It is sort of embarrassing (no, no **** bookmarks, thankfully but my gosh, what if my history goes on my mom's iphone, sheesh!) that now we know what websites we bookmark.
Basically how do I turn this nonsense off?  Is this some cloud thing?

Bookmark syncing is done through iTunes as well as iCloud.  See below:
Bookmarks
You can sync bookmarks between your computer and your iOS device. When syncing is enabled, all bookmarks will sync. You can sync bookmarks with the following applications:
Safari (Mac OS X)
Safari for Windows (Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7)
Microsoft Internet Explorer
Note: Microsoft Internet Explorer refers to bookmarks as "Favorites.
The above comes from here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
These are the hazards of sharing an Apple ID.  If you don't like it, use separate Apple IDs (but each Apple ID owner must be over age 18).

    You are apparently both using the same Apple ID. Change her to a different Apple ID and this will stop.

    Under the older iOS, when you opened a blank Safari page, Bookmarks automatically opened. However, with the newer iOS, this does not happen anymore. What iPhone and version of iOS do you have?

    I have just had an iPod mini but my messages are coming through on my iPad and my iPhone how can I stop this happening ? Do I need to reset my iPad ?

    To prevent messages from reaching both devices you can turn off Messages on the device you do not want to receive messages but keep Messages on on the device you do want to receive Messages.
    You might also look at this option for both devices.
    Settings > Messages > Send and Receive > review the a riotous choices for how you can e reached and select the ones that are most appropriate for you and the device you are setting.

  • HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

    1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
    2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
    If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
    This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
    Then press (two keys) Command + 1
    to return the inbox.
    That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
    If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

    Hello ctb4408,
    With iMessage, it is meant to show up on all your iOS devices and Mac. If you do not want them to go across all your devices, then you will need to turn off iMessage on your iPad and Mac Pro.

  • I have 2 hotmail accounts on my mail, when I send from one account I receive the reply in my other account, how can I stop this from happening?

    I have 2 hotmail accounts in my Mac Mail, when I send from one account the reply comes back to the other hotmail account, how can I stop this?

    You should be able to open both accounts.
    I believe Hotmail T&C may expect you to have only one account, but possibly multiple alliases.
    You may have problems opening two separate hotmail accounts at once in Firefox. Try using a new private browsing window for the second one. With any look that will separate them enough for you to use both at once.
    (With other account holders permission.) I sometimes open my own and another persons hotmail account by that method.

  • .bridgesort files appear in CC? how do I stop this?

    .bridgesort files are appearing my asset folder in creative cloud. How do I stop bridge from writing this information into the creative cloud folder?
    cheers!

    It can't be stopped. Or in other words, you can't stop other people sending to your email address.
    Check under '''Tools|Account Settings|...|Junk Settings'''; this has settings for what to do with Junk. I'd set it to move material classified as Junk to the nominated folder.
    And do mark messages appropriately as '''Junk''' or '''Not Junk''' (right click!) to help train the built-in Junk controls.

  • My husband just bought an ipad and now when we message each other we get the same message to our iphones, how do we stop this?

    When I send a message to the ipad, from my iphone, I get the same message to my phone from my own number.  He also gets one to his iphone when he sends me a message from his ipad.  I know this has something to do with the apple id; we do use the same one.  Is there a way to turn off the multiple messages? We don't want to get separate apple ids because the guy at the apple store told us we wouldn't be able to share the music we have....meaning music on my id wouldn't show up with the music on his id in our itunes.  So we switched to using one account.  Is there a way to fix this problem without having to create a separate apple id?

    Apple ID cannot be merged or transfered.

  • Somebody else is using my email address as an appleid in other iphone, how can I stop them ?

    Yesterday I received an email from Apple <[email protected]> requiring me to verify an apple ID with my email address; how can I prevent/stop somebody else from using my email as an ID??

    You can't.  Only the person that signed up for that Apple ID (using that email address as the name) and has the password to that Apple ID can modify that Apple ID house a different email account.
    Nothing about your personal email account is at risk.  It just means that someone probably made a typo (maybe they have a very similar email address to yours), and they never got the verification email.  You did instead.  No one at Apple can change that for you.
    Again; only the person that has the password to that Apple ID can adjust the primary email address of that account.
    How to reset your Apple ID password.
    Go to iforgot.apple.com and type in your Apple ID, then click 'Next'.
    Verify your date of birth, then click 'Next'.
    You'll be able to choose one of two methods to reset your password, either E-Mail Authentication or Answer Security Questions.
    If neither method works, then go to https://getsupport.apple.com
    (If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
    Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
    A new page will open.
    Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Lost or forgotten Apple ID password'.
    Click the blue 'Continue' button.
    Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

  • When i open safari i get 2 different desktops. When i close one it closes the other. How can i stop this from happening?

    When I open safari i get 2 desktops, one with the last page i visited and the other desktop has another start up page. when i shut down one it automatically shuts down the other. This only just started happening. Any idea of how to fix it?

    Which Mac OS X is installed?  If you aren't sure, click the Apple menu icon top left in your screen. From the drop down menu click About This Mac. The OS X version is noted there.
    And which version of Safari. From the Safari menu bar click Safar > About Safari
