Can I check texts my kids make if we share an Apple ID?

Hello, can I check my kids texts through our Apple ID, even if I don't have the phone? I have suspicions.

If you share an Apple ID for iMessages, you can see there iMessages (and they can see yours). You would not be able to see their regular SMS messages. Are you paying the bill for the phone? If so, have you considered simply requesting that the children turn over the phones to you for your inspection?

HT5622 My whole family shares an Apple ID so that we can share apps, games, calendars, etc.. Is this the best way to do that? Can we each have our own cloud if we share an Apple ID?

No. There is no way to transfer purchases between IDs

Verizon Can You Check My Order To Make Sure My Iphone 6 Is In Process? (No Response Yet?)

I was online right at 3:00am but thanks to a employee discount bug with your site Verizon I could not pre-order until 4am. During checkout it advised a delivery date of 10/07/14 but now it is stating "Order Status Not Available"? Please help me Verizon!
No info is available at the check order status page for my order!
Thanks

I checked mine and so far the status still says processing. I recall this being "common" on past pre-order releases so honestly their may not be anything wrong. You can try calling CS to see if they have any info

Why can't i create a kid account on family share?

I upgraded to iOS8 on my phones and ipad. Since my son been sharing my account and i always have to approve his purchases, I wanted to make him his own account now when you can with family share. However, when I try to add a kid account, it says that I have to add my credit card to iTunes. However my card is already added there. Is this a bug or am I doing to wrong somehow?

Hi Zubera,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into an issue creating an Apple ID for your son, iTunes is requesting payment information. Take a look at the article linked below, it’ll walk you through the process of creating an Apple ID for a child.
Family Sharing and Apple IDs for kids
Create an Apple ID for your child
Before you begin, make sure that you're using a credit card as your iTunes Store and App Store payment method. You'll use the security code on the credit card as part of providing your parental consent.
Use these steps to create an Apple ID and add the child to your family group:
Go to Settings > iCloud > Family, and tap "Create an Apple ID for a child."
Enter your child's birthday and tap Next.
Review the Parent Privacy Disclosure and tap Agree.
Enter the security code for your credit card and tap Next.
Enter your child's name, tap Next, then create their Apple ID ([email protected]) and tap Next.
Follow the onscreen instructions to set a password, choose security questions, and set up your child's account. Choose passwords and security questions that you both can remember.
After you add your child to your family group, they will have their own Apple ID that they can use on any Apple device. Your email address will be the rescue email address for your child’s account, and you can use it with the security questions you provided to reset a forgotten password.
I hope this helps.

Can i install mychat app in two ipad, which share same apple ID?

should be OK.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can install any app on two or more devices that share the same ID.

I can print, check printer utilities etc but can't scan

I am running Mac OS 10.6.3 and using an HP Photo Smart 2575 all in one.
I can print, check printer utilities and make the printer make sounds as if it is scanning. I get a window which asks me what I am scanning and whether I accept the image, I've tried various diff options to no avail.
I've tried asking for the scan both via the printer buttons and computer, each time I can the New scan pro window appear, suggesting the computer is talking to the printer.
Each time nothing happens and I get an Sorry unknown error occured message.
I have scanned before, I don't know what I did right then.
Its likely I've updated software since then.
I went to the HP web site and down loaded what looked recent, I got a new image zone icon and a request to register with HP yet again, but made no progress.
The off button on the printer usually does not work at it just flashes, so I tried restarting the computer and unplugging the printer plug. I just managed to turn the printer off via the off button, it worked but had no effect on scanning ability.
Any ideas?

Never mind! I just had to change the settings to indicate that it was wireless. It's all good!

The little 'E' that was next to my signal bars has dissapeared and now i can't send texts, make calls or go on the internet.HELP!

The little 'E' that was next to my signal bars has dissapeared and now i can't send texts, make calls or go on the internet. WHY? HELP!

As suggested make sure "cellular data" is ON and you have valid cellular data plan.
That "E" sign only shows the network (Edge) or 3G (if you are in the 3G network), but it has no relation to you not been able to make regular calls or sending regular texts with network signal (in the form of bars) being present.
Double check if you have credit in your phone (in case of pre-paid) or if you have reached your limit (in case of post-paid)

HT204053 How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

How do I create an Apple ID for my kids which are linked to my Apple ID so that they can make purchases without me having to tell them my user/password?

Welcome to the community.
Unfortunately, you cannot do that. The first hurdle that you are going to face, is that mobile devices, by virtue of being prone to loss, will always require that a password is entered before a purchase of any kind is made.
If your concern about the password, is related to your privacy in regard to your mail, contacts and calendar information rather than their acces to make purchases, then the best solution would be for you to use another Apple ID for iCloud.
Apple have called the whole cloud thing iCloud, there are a number of features under the iCloud umbrella, some of which require their own login. iTunes is one of these, another is what Apple have unfortunately also called iCloud too.
You can use the same Apple ID (account) to login to both iCloud and iTunes, but you don't need to and often users will login to each service using a different ID.
The part that you need to remember is that the services available when you log into iCloud are completely different and unrelated to those when you log in to iTunes. Your iCloud login enables mail, contacts, calendars, find my phone, Back to My Mac, Documents & Data sharing and photostream, it does not affect any of your iTunes services.

The ability to see and send calendar invites is a function of the calendar you are subscribing to and who owns it. We need more information, like what calendar are you subscribing to? MS Exchange? Google? Mobile Me?

How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer ?

How can i check my mails on the iphone and make sure that the mail wont pop up again on my computer/ will be deleted on the server ?

For that kind of connectivity you need to be using an email account configured either as IMAP or Exchange.
IMAP & Exchange accounts will maintain a sync across all your devices, so if you read / delete a message on your phone, it will disappear from the server as well. This cannot happen in POP email accounts.
If your using gmail, instructions on how to set up exchange / imap are here http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138740&topic=14252
Alternatively, if its anything other than Google, you will need to contact your email providor or IT department (if your email address resides with an enterprise environment) to get the correct settings.
Hope this helps!

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text?

How do I change the color of font in a fillable form in Adobe Reader? How can I check if the writer of the document has given permission to edit color and not just add text? Please help! I'm technologically challenged.

Most forms (99% or more) are created for simple text input, where you cannot change anything.
The creator of the form could allow Rich Text input (which allows you to change font, text size, color, etc.), but frankly I have never seen such a form, and I wouldn't know how they look. But I'm sure they would show some kind of controls to alter the text appearance.
