Change your security questions.  Change your Passwords.  If you want to be really thorough, change the AppleID to a new email address.

    These are iMessages only.
    He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
    On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
    Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at.

  • HT5824 delete phone number off imessage

    i traded in my iphone at ATT for a Samsung phone and now i cannot receive text messages from my contacts that have iphones. talked with att said that i had to delete my number off the cloud/iphone/imessaging?? how do i do this without buying the 19.99 service support package. also my iphone was set to factory settings when i traded it in.

    If you registered your device with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it.  Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

  • Blocked a number, still receiving texts. iMessage?

    I recently blocked a number (using 1 of the 5 free temporary block spots) from someone who I am getting tired of hearing from. However, the day after, I received texts from them. Why would this occur? They also have an iPhone and it was sent through iMessage. Does the Verizon blocker not block iMessages? If not, then how do block it?
    Thanks.

    Messages sent through imessage uses the data plan and won't be caught by the Verizon Wireless block.
    I would suggest turning off imessage on your phone. This will force all messages to go through the Verizon Wireless network. You might need to adjust your message plan size if necessary.
    I don't know if it possible to block someone from sending you an imessage.

  • How do I find a deleted contact number?

    So, I had an iPhone 5 and deleted someones number a while ago. When I got my iPhone 6 plus and synced it, that number was synced because I hadn't deleted it before my last back up (of iPhone 5) I then deleted the number off my 6 plus and have not backed the 6 plus up since I've had it. I am looking to find that number, I have tried looking on my mac in Contacts (nothing is saved) I have looked for "Mobile sync" but it does not exist on my Mac, nor does 'iTunes Sync' or anything similar. I really need this number and I don't know if I can retrieve the number by reverting the back up and getting it and then reverting that back up to get to now, if that makes sense? Basically I don't want to lose the information on my phone now but need something on a previous back up (I have not backed up since that one) Please help, I am not connected to iCloud, I have tried an iPhone back up program and it didn't work, I really need this number.

    If you still have the iPhone 5 backup you can backup your iPhone 6 and restore it to the iPhone 5 backup. Then get the contact number and information (write it down)  then restore your iPhone 6 to the backup you just created and, finally, add the contact to the iPhone 6.

  • I dont have my old number anymore and iMessage is still registered on the old number(it's in light grey fonts)I cannot choose or delete this number. Also I cannot recieve text on this number because it doesnt exist anymore. How can I solve this?

    I dont have my old number anymore and iMessage is still registered on the old number(it's in light grey fonts)I cannot choose or delete this number. Also I cannot recieve text on this number because it doesnt exist anymore.

    You should contact Apple support and ask them to deregister iMessage for the old number.

  • How can I permanently delete an old phone number from my 'receive iMessage from' list?

    I have just got a new contract and iPhone. I wanted to get rid of my old number because of people hassling me on it. However I can still receive iMessages through my old number even though I have a brand new phone and SIM card! I have de-selected it on the 'receive from' list, but I want to permanently delete the number for a fresh start. I have logged into my icloud account on apple but as I didn't actually register the previous device with apple there seems to be no option to remove it. can anyone help? Why can I not just swipe and delete this number!!! Ridiculous! So much for a fresh start   just turning the option off isn't the same.

    See Apple Support article TS5185. Note that although the problem that article concerns doesn't apply to you, the solution it describes does.

  • How do I delete a phone number (not mine) from iMessage

    Hi,
    We live in the US. Somehow an international phone number got into our iMessage account. And to top things off, somehow our personal information got replaced with name that is Chinese. I have since changed my Apple ID and password and reset it on all of our Mac hardware.
    I cannot get rid of this internaltional number from iMessage. I can delete email addresses, but not a phone number. I've tried reinstalling OS X, turing iMessage and iCould on and off. Nothing works.
    How do I delete the phone number?
    Thank you,
    Jim

    hi,
    Open a Finder window.
    Use the Go Menu > Go to Folder and enter (cpy and paste) ~/Library/Preferences into the dialogue box that appears.
    Find the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist and the com.apple.imservice.iMessages.plist and drag both to the Trash
    Restart Messages.app.
    You may find you have to reset the iMessages account but the "Aliases" should have gone.

  • I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings.  One number is checked(mine) and the other is not(my sons).  However when someone sends me a text it goes to both mine and my sons iphones.  How do i delete his number from my phone.

    I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings.  One number is checked(mine) and other is not(my sons).  However when someone sends me a test it goes to both numbers.  Mine and my sons.  How do I delete his number so that he no longer received texts intended for me.

    The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

  • How to delete a number from imessage

    I have deleted a number from my contacts and its still showing up on my imessage.How can i delete this number?

    Hi,
    You can disable a "Receive At" item which will in turn remove it from the "Start new conversation from" drop down in the Messages app across Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
    You can remove it from the iPhone or other iOS device.
    However this will not remove it on either Messages 7.x.x (Mountain Lion)  or Messages 8 (Mavericks)
    In Mavericks you have to delete the .plist involved to remove the Aliases you don't want (and tend to have to re-enter the Apple ID as well)
    With a Finder window Open, use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that now appears in the menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist and drag it to the Trash
    Restart the Messages app

    In preferences turn on iTunes sharing in iTunes preferences and keep iTunes turned on in both accounts. Or better yet put the iTunes library on the main HD rather than in an account and set the location of the library to that location in iTunes preferences.
