Can I add a 2nd iPhone number to my Apple ID for iMessages?

I have 2 iPhones and 1 Apple ID. On both my iMac and MBP (both using Mountain Lion), only 1 number shows up and it's my wife's number. This isn't even the number I have assiciated with my Apple ID. When I try using Messages, on either computer, to send her a text, she gets the message from her and I see both what I sent and then a second later it pops up a second time since it thinks I'm sending from her number. When I go into Setting > Accounts, it shows my email and her number.
How do I fix this?

After filling in the 1st screen, hold down the option/alt key while clicking Continue. Fill in the necessary information, then click continue until all screens are filled in.

    If you have completed the info for a contact there will be additional spaces for more phone numbers. If you have not added a number yet, simply tap the word to the left of the blank phone number space to change the category.

    You can only add iPhone phone numbers which are actively signed into your apple ID on iMessage.

  • Can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address

    can i use a 2nd iphone if i install itunes on another user account.when i tried to create a second library i messed up both phones, the second one now has all my contacts and when it sends txts it either says its my other phone or email address. i can cope with the first phone and getting it back on itunes but dont want to syn the 2nd phone until i know it is independant of the other one. Does it matter that both phones use the same itunes store account?

    Deleting the account on your phone only removes if from your phone.  The account and it's data remain intact and doing so will not effect your daughter's phone.
    To do this, first go to Settings>iCloud on your phone and turn any synced data (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off, and when prompted, choose to keep the data on the phone.  When finished, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account with a different Apple ID and turn any data you want to sync with iCloud (contact, calendars, etc.) back to On.  This will upload your data to your new iCloud account.

  • Can I add a 2nd iCloud account on my Mac?

    Can I add a 2nd iCloud account on my Mac?

    You could use one at once and keep switching between the two, but it would be rather messy. You can also add more than one @me mail address to mail. You could also use seperate user accounts for each iCloud account. If you tell us why you would want to have two iCloud accounts on one mac we might be able to give better advice.

  • Can i add an additional iphone to my itunes account and how?

    can I add an additional Iphone on my itunes account or can i have multiple itunes accounts on my computer?  thanks, sd

    You can do both. Adding a second iPhone is no more complicated than adding the first; you can also have multiple iTunes libraries on a computer and content from multiple iTunes Store accounts in a library. If a library contains protected content from more than five iTunes Store accounts, you may run into trouble when syncing.

    When I try to drag a song over to my phone, I get the circle w/ the syncing line through it, but it does not update/load.
    [Manually manage music and videos] is checked. And, this is the only Mac I have ever used to add music to my phone.
    Also, just updated the phone's software today, and iTunes' software is already up to date.

    Hi Gregg,
    Have you tried resetting the device (nothing will be lost): Hold down the Home and Power buttons at the same time and continue to hold them down until the Apple appears (up to 30 seconds). Once the Home screen redisplays, see if your Music app is behaving normally.

  • HT1386 iPhone won't sync with iTunes. It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do

    iPhone won't sync with iTunes and It says iTunes can not add songs to iPhone because no songs in iTunes library can be copied to iPhone. Help!!!! What should I do. I tried everything!
    I need to add my music to my iPhone from iTunes but its not working!

    First off try and go into your IPhone manually through My Computer and cut photos or anything you can through the device to be able to free space up so that you can continue to do what you want to do with ITunes. This way you will be able to create a backup or do what you have to do to manage your information, photos and texts on your device a little better.

  • Can't add songs to Iphone 4S

    I cannot add songs to my Iphone 4S unless i buy through itunes. I RIP songs from my cds and they go to my library but when i drag to my iphone, it won't allow me to do so. It has that big red circle with the line through it. I connected my ipod and i was allowed to drag and add songs to that. Any ideas why I can't add songs to iphone 4S ???

    Thanks, I will try restoring my phone. And no, I haven't updated to the newest version of itunes yet. Just haven't been on the computer in awhile. I will do that A.S.A.P. Thanks for the reply!!

  • How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account on the same computer?

    How can you add a 2nd i Tunes account to the same computer?

    I had an application where I spawned (= ran with Start Asynchronous Call) multiple (reentrant) copies of VIs, and would occasionally "lose control" of them.  I needed a way to find all VIs that were running "Top Level" and stop them (so I didn't have to log off from Windows).
    I used the Application Property "All VIs in Memory" to get an array of (wait for it ...) All VIs in Memory.  I took each name, opened a VI reference to it (simply wire the name string in, as the VI is, by definition, "in memory"), looked at its VI Execution State, and if it was Run Top Level, Invoked the FP.Close and Abort VI Methods.  [To prevent the VI that did all this from "committing Suicide", I compared the name string with the current Call Chain, and did nothing if there was a match].
    I think you could adopt this idea to do what you need.
