Can I get iMessages from two separate phone numbers

I have two iPhones with two separate phone numbers and two separate Apple ID's. I would like to get the messages being sent to my computer to come in from both phone numbers. Is this possible?

Hi,
for the Points
Thank you. Now....can you explain to me HOW to do this?
I was sorely tempted to say "yes" again. (I can explain)

Settings-messages.
Make sure you are logged in with the same Apple ID, email or phone # as the iPhone.

You cannot delete it.
It is on another page, in a folder or you have restrictions set.

How can I get music from two diff devices onto my phone if it's only synced to one?

I have a desktop an laptop both windows with iTunes on both with same Apple ID. Both have diff music on each But the laptop is sync to my iphone & when I have tried to sync my I phone to my desktop it wiped my music. How can I combine music from my desktop and laptop into my iphone without wiping what's already on there?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Assuming it isn't purchased content from the iTunes Store, then your only way is to put all the music onto one computer and sync with that.

How can I get iMessage to recognize my phone number AND my email address?

I used to get imessages using my phone number. Then my iphone screen broke and I ended up buying a new one. Now when I restored my iphone, the imessaging only recognizes my email address (the one connected to my apple id) and not the phone number. The phone number shows up as a lighter type font and can not be selected. I made sure this number is part of my apple ID but that did not help. I have deleted and restored the account twice.
The imessage is working but only using the email address.
Ideas?
Jennifer

the link Ckuan put up helped me resolve this. thank you.
i signed out of both imessage and facetime on my computer and iphone. (i actually wasnt signed into my account on my iphone)
but i did sign in on my iphone
i then made sure that my tel number was the only button ticked
then once that was sorted i went back to my computer and signed in to both imessage and facetime and my number was now an option.
i made sure it was ticked and all was ok.
i think my problem occured from when i done a "reset all settings" ... i only done this reset because my keypad on my iphone was sticking and that was a solution to sorting that.
thanks again

When I go to My Music, it just keeps prompting me to go buy stuff with the VCast Rhapsody thing and I can't get past that. Thanks,

Can I get iMessages for two Apple IDs on my phone?

I have a work Apple ID and a personal Apple ID. I don't take my work iPad home, but co-workers need to send me messages after I've left for the day. Can I set up my work Apple ID on my iPhone? When I try to add it, it says it's already in use.

Nope only one apple id can be used.

How can I get photos from my old phone to new phone?

I Have been trying to move photos from my 4s to my 5s and don't know how to move these via icloud as want to give my old phone away

Add them to a shared stream as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmc0cd7e99. You don't need to invite any subscribers; when asked to enter an email address, just tap Next to skip it (as the owner of the shared stream you are automatically subscribed). Then open the shared stream on your 5s and save the photos to your camera roll by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll. Then you can delete the shared stream.
Also, this is what you should do before giving away your old phone: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

How do I stop getting iMessages from my moms phone?

so my mom and I both have iphones under the same credit card but every time she gets a message through iMessage I get it too and when I get one she also gets it. How would I get it to stop?

Follow the instructions under the heading "How to unlink a phone number" on this page.

Why are my messages getting sent to two different phone numbers?

My mom and I use the same Apple account for our iPhones and when we updated our phones for iOS 6, all of the text messages that I've been receiving have been sent to her iPhone as well.

Tjmoo, did you find out the answer to your question? If so, will you share? I am having an issue where some of my messages to iPhone users go through as iMessages while others go through as text messages. I am not sure why this is because the people I am sending them to have iPhones.
Thanks!

Can I transfer Time Machine data from two separate hard drives into one new one?

I'm using a MacBook Pro as my primary computer. My 500 gig Time Capsule filled up a year or so ago, so I stopped using it with Time Machine for awhile so I could keep the data from those old back-ups. There were a number of things I deleted from my computer's very limited hard drive after they were backed up to the Time Capsule. I got a 1T external USB drive last year to use as my "filing Cabinet" to store files I didn't necessarily need all the time or that were filling up my small laptop hard drive--including my iTunes library--all organized in a way that made it relatively easy for me to find what I needed, even if I didn't remember exactly when I'd filed it or what I'd called it. I got another 1 terabyte external (portable) drive last July and dedicated it to TimeMachine backups and labeled it "TimeMachine".
Over the last couple of weeks, my friend has been helping me upgrade to Yosemite and clean up my laptop hard drive. Last week he cloned my laptop hard drive to a new 1T hard drive and I exchanged it for my old drive in my computer today. All good.
Here's the issue. We replaced my Time Capsule hard drive with a 1 terabyte drive with the idea of transferring the data from the old Time Capsule (500G) drive and the newer USB 1T "TimeMachine" compact drive to the new 1T Time Capsule drive and beginning using the latter for my Time Machine backups going forward. Originally he thought we could copy everything from each of my external drives (the old 500gig drive from my Time Capsule, the USB "TimeMachine" drive I've been using since July, and the "file cabinet" files) to my computer in their own folders and then start regular TimeMachine backups to the new Time Capsule drive, thus preserving all my old data and making regular backups going forward. The "file cabinet" data was no problem at all, but when I tried to copy my USB "TimeMachine" data to my computer, I was unable to. My friend found instructions for transferring old TimeMachine data to a new TimeCapsule, but I don't know if I can transfer the data from two separate disks to the new TimeCapsule drive. I'm afraid that one set of data will supersede the other and either my newer backups or my old ones will be lost if I try to transfer both.
Are my fears justified or is there a way to insure that no such problem will occur? Of course, my data will still be on those two older drives, but that won't do me a lot of good if I can't access it when I need to. Also, the 1T drive now belongs to my friend; he used a brand new drive he'd bought for himself for my new internal hard drive and plans to take my 1T "TimeCapsule" drive in exchange, once the data has been transferred, so he will, of course, erase that drive.

Should we be able to bring up the old (500G) Time Capsule Drive to rename it using a SATA to FireWire harness and then copy the whole thing to the new Time Capsule drive?
You can copy a whole sparsebundle from one drive to another. That is not a problem. Whether you can access the sparsebundle is something you should test before you even start though.
If it's on the Desktop and I don't tell Time Machine to exclude it from backups, will it just automatically back it up?
All drives you plug into the Mac are excluded by default.. you must include them. So no problems there.. but I hope I am understanding the question.
Will both volumes or directories (which is the right term?) show up when I open Time Machine?
No, Time Machine will only open what it is told to open... or its backup default location.
You can force Time Machine to open alternative/old/no longer used backups by (now I have a problem as things have changed somewhat in Yosemite and I consider it alpha release software at this point in time). The old method was to right click on the TM icon and select a different TM backup. easy. Yosemite seems to have made easy stuff harder.
Here it is on my current computer.. clearly not Yosemite.. Right click on the TM icon in the dock.. select Browse Other Time Machine Disks.. And supply the info of where that is located. Easy. If you cannot figure it out one of the other posters here (with more patience than me for Yosemite) will help you.
Or will we have to partition the new drive somehow--is that even possible?
I am getting more lost as I go down the list.. but the TC disk cannot be partitioned.
If you have included all those USB drives in the new backup on a Time a Time Capsule.. you have made life rather hard because now your files are stored another layer deeper than they were.
So to open a file from a disk you need to open the sparsebundle.. then dig down to the drive in question and then dig down to the backup.. and all of this means Time Machine has to work perfectly which is Yosemite is a very big ask.
I thought you wanted to just backup your old drives to central location.. which means copying the files to a separate folder on the Time Capsule.
One correction I need to make to my post, which will make my strategy make a bit more sense: my new Time Capsule drive is 4T
It makes it much harder.. and I have to pose a real question of long term .. if you have put a 4TB drive in a Gen1 TC.. did you also replace its power supply because I can assure you the drive might be ok but the TC itself will not last forever.. and what happens when it dies. The Gen1 power supply is already well beyond its normal life span and the vast majority are dead. When the backup device is unreliable and the backups on it are made that much harder to get access to.. is this a great plan??
If you are going to consolidate all your old files on one disk.. a task I find understandable. I have done much the same albeit the usefulness of files made on emac running OS9 may be questioned. A disk lying in the bottom of a draw is a more appropriate place for them.
You want those files as easily accessible as possible (at the point of recovery) and not buried inside a sparsebundle.. particularly not a sparsebundle from the old TC disk buried inside a new sparsebundle.. keep files as accessible as possible as you can run searches.. and that is best done on a USB 3 (or faster ie thunderbolt) drive plugged into a new(ish) computer.. not network. And since the files are not being accessed on a daily/weekly or even monthly or yearly basis.. keeping them in actively running TC network storage.. I would say is a waste of space. That is only my opinion of course.. you might consider it highly important that files you will never look at are available any time of day or night when the urge comes to track down that elusive pimpernel email you sent 10 years ago... but I find it hard to justify. What the case.. the problem with TM and things like Mail is you cannot search it.. you must restore the whole library/files/program even before you can access it.. that makes file recovery out of a sparsebundle double step process.
So.. summary.
If you want to store files on the 4TB drive in the TC.. that is not a great strategy but it can work.. simply create a folder named.. OldFilesEMac for instance.. and do a simple copy and paste of all the file to that location. Do not use TM.. Since you have already used TM.. and from what I am reading you have already done the backup with the external drives included.. then you are going to end up needing to erase the TC and start over.. which you may not be prepared to do.. which is fair enough. (I am coming across as overbearing school master.. apologies).
TM is to backup your main OS and current files.. not files from 10-20years ago.
Please do read the issues involved in Pondini..
See his FAQ. I recommend you read through Q14-17 so you understand what is involved in recovery.
http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I also recommend you read the first couple of articles here. http://pondini.org/TM/Home.html
Particularly so you understand the complexity of Time Machine.
And the articles here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Particularly Q3 on mixing data and backups on a TC.
I wish I could spend an hour or two face to face and work it out.. the whole strategy to do this.. !!

Howdy Springcheer,
While this is not syncing per se, I'm wondering if iCloud Photo Sharing will do what you need to get photos from two separate iCloud accounts to your PC.

Please read the article. It may work for you.
