Dissapearing emails appear on the wife's phone

Third time now that my Charter emails have dissapeared from my phone, and appeared on the wife's phone. They also dissapeared from Outlook on the home computer. We both have an Iphone 4 and use the same Apple ID account. Our Bellsouth emails are unaffected. Now I'm getting her texts on my phone. What gives?

Hi alvarez007,
It sounds as though your and your wife used your Apple ID to set up your iPhones at some point. You will want to change the Apple ID that her phone is using. Use the steps in this article -
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
She can then use your Apple ID just for purchasing by following these steps -
Using your Apple ID for Apple services
Specifically -
In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L

  • Emails appear briefly on our iPad/Phone but then disappear

    Emails appear briefly on our iPad/Phone but then disappear.

    Correction to the above. The email only disappears if sent to the mobile me or mobile mac address. An email sent FROM either of these Apple addresses, to a different address works fine. Sorry!

  • My Mac Mini (Mid 2011) doesn't connect to Time Capsule in 5GHz Network. This WiFi Network don't appear in the WiFi list. What's Wrong?

    My Mac Mini (Mid 2011) doesn't connect to Time Capsule in 5GHz Network. This WiFi Network don't appear in the WiFi list. What's Wrong?

    Oh yes, & 5 GHz doesn't do walls very well at all.
    GHz and Network Range
      The higher the frequency of a wireless signal, the shorter its range. Thus, 2.4 GHz networks cover a substantially larger range than 5 GHz wireless networks. In particular, the higher frequency wireless signals of 5 GHz networks do not penetrate solid objects nearly as well as do 2.4 GHz signals, limiting their reach inside homes.

  • HT1688 My iPhone accepts messages from a straight talk phone, when sending a text it looks like it goes through but never appears on the straight talk phone

    My iPhone accepts messages from a straight talk phone, when sending a text it goes through on my end but never appears on the straight talk phone. I'm having to use a secondary app that allows me to send a message that actually appears on the straight talk phone. I now have the iPhone 5 thinking it would fix the problem but it did not, and now that I have the 4G LTE it uses up my internet in a second.

    The iPad doesn't do SMS text messges which are necessary to send messges to a regular phone.

  • Why does email appear in the draft folder after email is sent

    could someone tell me why emails I am sending appear in the draft folder even after the email has been sent and is in the sent folder?

    Do you get draft emails every time your write an email, or do you just have a pesky email in drafts? There's a big difference.
    If it happens every time, it could be that your email isn't being sent to your recipient. If it happened only once, it's just an incomplete email you haven't sent or deleted yet.
    Which is your situation?

  • How do I delete old wifi networks from appearing in the wifi icon in the menu bar.

    Just bought a new Airport Time Capsule and is up and running OK.
    When I click on the wifi icon in the menu bar all my old wifi networks appear 
    which are then viewable by neighbours although the networks themselves are PW protected.
    In system preferences>network>advanced I have deleted all my old N/Works allowing only
    my new one to appear.
    How can I delete the old networks I no longer use from re-appearing in the list under the wifi icon?
    Alan

    When you delete old networks in System Preferences > Network > WiFi > Advanced, be sure to click the OK button, then click the Apply button in the next window that appears.
    You also need to delete the old networks in KeyChain Access as follows:
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > KeyChain Access
    Click on the name of an old wireless network to highlight it
    Click the Delete key on your Mac
    Do the same for other old wireless networks that you no longer use, then restart your Mac.

  • It appears that the wifi portion of my iPhone has died. Suggestions?

    When I try to connect to any wifi network it fails to connect and displays the message "Unable to join the network "NETWORK"".
    I was using the phone and for no apparent reason, the wifi shut down and I lost connection to the net.
    I was unable to reconnect so I:
    - Turned it off and on again (slide to power off)
    - Reset it (off past the slide to power off)
    - Reset it and then plugged it into iTunes and allowed it to restart while connected to iTunes. This has cured various connection problems in the past, but today, no dice.
    - Reset the network settings
    - Restored from backup
    - Restored as a new phone
    After each round of action/test, I attempted to connect to various networks, both protected and those of the two neighbours (a home net and a wonderful coffee shop) who leave their networks open.
    No luck.
    My iPad, my wife's iPod and the various laptops can connect to all of these networks without difficulty, and browse the web with them.
    My iPhone can't even join.
    Any suggestions?

    Yeah, I didn't purchase an extended warranty. A mistake, I now realise.
    This is the second one to fail on me. The first died within the warranty period and was replaced. I've been so accustomed to Apple products being well made and almost unbreakable, that I wasn't prepared for two phones to die in such a short time.
    I used to have a Motorola StarTac. Lasted for 8 years (seriously!) without a single problem. Never even had to replace the battery. It was rained on, left in the snow, stepped on and generally abused - esp in the last couple of years when I wanted it to die so I could justify (to myself) that I needed a new phone.
    The iPhone has been coddled and babied, and I've had two die in two years.
    Disappointing, but I expect it's due to the general expectation that we replace our electronics much more often these days, and manufacturers bet on the MTBF being longer than the warranty, and that's all they need to do. Real longevity is considered by most (both consumers and manufacturers) as a drawback. The consumers want the new shiny, and the manufacturers want us to buy new stuff!
    Man, I'm sounding old and cranky!

  • Notification Center A notification of an email appeared but the email is not in Mail

    Just new to Mt. Lion.  A notification appeared of an email, but when I looked in Mail, it was not there.   I don't even know how to find the list of notifications.  I can swipe to open it, but that particular one has disappeared.  What's happened to my email message? (Yes, Mail has been open throughout this problem.)

    I have the same problem. An email notification flashes and then go to Mail and nothing is there. Inbox or junk etc. I had a friend sending me emails from a new account last night and I did not recieve them.

  • I apologize if this is a repeat -- I can't find if my question has been posted, but all traffic received through SAFARI (but not FIREFOX) quoting prices has the latter in EUROS, not US Dollars. Figures in my outgoing Email appear to the recepient in Dolla

    I apologize if this is a repeat, but I can't tell if my question has been posted.
    For the past several weeks, all incoming traffic via Safari 5.0.5, but not Firefox,containing cost/price figures appear in Euros, not US Dollars. My responses, however, are received correctly in US Dollars. Wierd, and irritating.  Any ideas?

    To answer the post title FireFox save all downloads automatically in the download folder, which you can find in the Documents folder. If you want to choose where to save your downloads go to tools>options>check always ask me where to save files.
    Secondly, I am assuming you have IE 8 installed as this is the only version that supports this fix that is currently not in beta. Go to control panel>internet options>advanced tab and reset the settings at the bottom. This may or may not fix the problem but it is a good first step.

  • Why do emails on my Macbook Air take longer than they do to appear on the server site?

    When I send or receive an email by clicking on the email icon at the bottom of the screen, it often takes longer to be sent or be received than if I go directly into the internet email site where it appears immediately.  At times, some people to whom I have sent emails do not receive them until hours later and conversely, incoming emails appear on the internet email site soon than they appear on my computer.  Can this be remedied?

    Do you use Navionics for marine a marine chart plotter?  I noticed that after I installed all their (lousy) software on my MPB, this Navservice app would start up each time I booted.   It took me a while, but I tracked it down to the "LaunchAgents" folder in my system library.   Siince I quit the app each and every time I boot my MBP, I decided I didn't need it so I simply renamed the file from "com.apple.NavService.plist" to "com.apple.NavService.plist.old" and rebooted my MBP.  Voila, no more NavService app running in the background. 
    As far as the purpose of this thing, the plist entry is launching the following app:
    /Applications/Navionics World/NavService.app/Contents/MacOS/NavService
    Take a look and see if you have the same thing. 
    The Navionics software for the Mac is obviously written by someone that doesnt' understand how Macs really work, and they scattered junk all over the place with their install routines.  In fact, if you update the software it will place redundant copies in redundant folders, etc. making it impossible to know which versions are the latest, etc.

  • Sometimes my email headers get crossed with bodies of other emails (next in the list), so how do I stop this from happening?

    We use Thunderbird with the email header list (Inbox, etc) in an upper pane, and the body of the highlighted email in a separate lower viewer pane.
    We compact files whenever asked by the software.
    In a long list of emails, I click on one header (at the top of the list) to view it in the pane below. Once in a while, the headers get mixed up and do not preview the proper email in the viewer pane.
    I will highlight and view an email, and then delete it. When this glitch occurs, the body of the deleted email appears in the lower pane when I click on the next email header in the upper pane list. The viewer pane should be showing me the new body of the just-highlighted email, but instead it shows the deleted body of the previously-viewed email. Once that new header is clicked, and the wrong body appears in the viewer pane, the proper email body disappears forever. I have to call my customer to have them resend.
    If I click on other emails further down the list, the same body (of the deleted email) continues to show up each time, and all the correct bodies of all the clicked headers are gone. So, phone calls have to happen to ask all the affected emails to be resent. (So, we have learned to stop as soon as we see it happen the first time.)
    The only way we have found to fix this is to close Thunderbird, and then reboot the computer. When Thunderbird is re-opened, the problem goes away. But any lost email bodies are permanently gone.
    We can't seem to find any strange set of events that make this happen. It appears random, and varied. Sometimes every week, sometimes not for months.
    This happens on 2 computers. One is a 2 year old PC (Compaq), and one is a 3 year old HP Probook laptop. Both currently using Thunderbird 24.5.0. Both run Windows 7. Both have lots of memory. Both are very stable machines with very few problems. Seems to be more prevalent on the Compaq desktop than the HP Probook.
    Please help.
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
    I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
    When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
    Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
    Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

  • HT2417 My wife and I have I Phones.  For some reason all of my contacts ended up on my wife's phone today.  Does anyone know how this could happen?

    My wife and I have I Phones.  Today for some reason all of my contacts appeared on my wife's phone.  What would cause this? 

    This could happen if you are both syncing to the same contact source, such as with the same iCloud account, or to the same supported program on your computer (e.g., Outlook).

  • Texts appearing on the notification bar...

    Does it bother anyone else that all texts and emails appear on the notification bar and does anyone know if that can be removed? I know I can take the notifications off but then there isn't any way of knowing if you have a text unless I go and look for it.  Is there anyway just the envelope can come up but not the actual body of the text?
    Love this phone but may go back to my BB if I can't fix this.

    For text messaging:  go inside your text messaging area and click on Menu button > Message settings > Notifications (status bar).  Make sure this is unchecked (not green) and you will not get the notifications in your status bar anymore.
    For mail:
    Got into a mailbox for a mail account and click on Menu button > Email Settings > Notifications and make sure the Notifications (status bar) is unchecked (not green).  You may have to do this for each e-mail account you've set up ... I'm not sure. 
    Hope this helps ....

  • Cant get Time Machine to show in the WiFi menu

    I have had the Time Machine for a while but have just used it as a backup hard drive but plugging it into the ethernet port. I have never got it to act as a router or even to show in the WiFi menu. I have followed the standard steps but it just does not show in the WiFi menu. Any help much appreciated!

    Factory reset the TC and start over.
    It should then appear under the wifi as default wireless name.
    Click on that and it will open the airport utility so you can do the setup.
    The Factory Reset Gen1-4.
    Unplug your TC. Hold in reset. and power the TC back on.. without releasing reset for about 10sec. When the status light flashes rapidly; release it.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
