Can't text between 2 iphones in the same family

My son has the new iphone 4s and i have the iphone 4.  When he texts me, it says the text is from my phone number, not his.  I have his number stored in contacts.  It seems that his phone thinks it's mine.  We can call each other but the texting is messed up.  We are both on ios5.

Please see this thread. It deals with exactly the same problem.

  • How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

    Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
    Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
    Backup Phone A.
    Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
    When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
    After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.

  • Can you sync your ipad & iphone to the same itunes account yet or?

    its been over year now and the iPad 2 is out, its apparently evident that when something goes wrong no one response here with a solution, can you or can you not sync both a iPad and iPhone with the same iTunes account flawlessly yet, because i helped over 4 people to do this and every single method seems to be work arounds.
    has anyone figured out how to sync both devices to the same itunes account with out work arounds after all your apps get scattered outside their folders?

    You have always been able to sync as many devices as you like to one account/library/computer.
    Plug in one device, select what you want to sync, then sync.
    Unplug that device.
    Plug in the other device, select what you want to sync, then sync.

  • I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it will not connect to iTunes but I can download apps from my iPhone using the same appleID and password and it works on my iphone...PLEASE HELP NOW

    I'm trying to use my iPad mini for the first time with a previous apple ID and password but it says "iTunes is not working try again"...it allowed me to download an app on my iPhone using the same apple ID & password but all my apps are in "Waiting Status" on my iPad mini because it says "iTunes is not working"...PLEASE HELP ME NOW!!!

    Previous user installed iOS 7 beta on that iPhone.
    Take it back and get your money returned. You
    are running into a new security feature. Whoever owns
    the ID that it is asking for is the only person who can
    remove the security. That iPhone is worthless to you.

  • How can i share tones between different iPhones on the same account

    I have two iPhones registered on the same iTunes account - one for work and one personal. I have bought a couple of ringtones through iTunes but find that I cannot see them in the iTunes library so cannot load a ringtone from one of my iPhones to the other. Any suggestion on how I can do this ?
    Regards
    Kev

    You will have to transfer the ringtones from the phone that has them to your iTunes library.
    File>Transfer Purchases.
    Then you can sync them to the other phone.

  • Home Sharing - Can you share between two accounts on the same computer?

    I haven't been able to find any info about this, but does home sharing allow you to share files between to different user accounts on the same computer? I have been struggling with trying to do this for years, and I'm really hoping this solves my problem.

    This is true in a sense; you have to use the same itunes account to activate home sharing. BUT, you don't need to use the same itunes account for general use.
    Example:
    My computer and iPhone has one itunes account.
    My wife's computer and iPhone have a totally separate account.
    I turned on Home Sharing on both machines using one account name and ID - mine.
    Now she can see and copy my music and apps, etc. I can see and copy her music, apps, etc.
    However, when she goes to the iTunes store, she still can buy and so forth *on her own account*. Same with her iPhone. And I can still do the same as well on my own account on my machine and phone.
    The only limitation seems to be updating apps: If you copy apps over to another machine using Home Sharing and install them on another phone running another account, it works great. But you can't seem to update those copied apps, unless you log in on the phone or the computer it syncs up to with the account it came from.
    Aside from that, the apps still work even when the computer it was copied to and the phone it was synced to are active on ANOTHER account.
    The key is the setup - for Home Sharing. That needs to be one account, but otherwise it's business as usual.

  • Syncing apps between to iphones on the same itunes account

    My wife and I both own iphones (3G and 3GS). We sync them in itunes using the same account, which works great for the most part. However, if she installs an app on her iphone and then syncs it with the mac, those apps are then installed on my iphone the next time I sync with the mac. I would prefer to select which apps are on my phone. Same thing goes for her. Any apps I install on my iphone are automatically installed on her iphone. Any input would be appreciated.

    That's the way it works. You just need to uncheck them in the list on the Applications tab, then click Sync one more time.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

    Hi All,
    I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
    How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
    thanks for your replies,
    equi

    Barney,
    many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
    Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
    btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
    I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
    Thanks,
    equi

    I found some clues last week in these linkes.
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=657406&tstart=150
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/jcp.html#java
    Which has the contents like the below:
    Example:
    Assume you are running on Microsoft Windows with Microsoft Internet Explorer, have first installed version 1.4.2, then version 5.0, and you want to run 1.4.2.
    Go to the j2re1.4.2\bin directory where JRE 1.4.2 was installed. On a Windows default installation, this would be here: C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2\bin
    Double-click the jpicpl32.exe file located there. It will launch the control panel for 1.4.2.
    Select the Browser tab. Microsoft Internet Explorer might still appear to be set (checked). However, when 5.0 was installed, the registration of the 1.4.2 JRE with Internet Explorer was overwritten by the 5.0 JRE.
    If Microsoft Internet Explorer is shown as checked, uncheck it and click Apply. You will see a confirmation dialog stating that browser settings have changed.
    Check Microsoft Internet Explorer and click Apply. You should see a confirmation dialog.
    Restart the browser. It should now use the 1.4.2 JRE for conventional APPLET tags.
    I tried the method of change the control panel but they did not work either.
    Any other helps?
    Thanks in advantage.
