How can I prevent the settings on iMessage from changing each time I sync the devices with iTunes on our iMac?

Each time I sync an apple device (iPad, iPad mini, iPhone) with iTunes on our iMac the settings on iMessage and phone settings change. We use the same Apple ID and have different e-mail addresses and phone numbers; however, each time a device is sync'd on iTunes on our iMac, the iMessage settings and phone settings are changed so that we all each get each other's text messages and phone calls. After the device is sync'd/charged, I have to go into each device (all of them somehow update when only one is sync'ing) and re-set the settings to what we want. How can I prevent settings from being changed each time?

Okay I've tried safe mode.  Let it run down to 98%, plugged it in, locked the screen, and waited.  A few minutes later, the screen came on showing the 100% icon at the top right, full battery icon just to the left of the time, 100% text to the left of that.
I'm not going to do a hard reset until I have confirmation that this is not normal behavior for the phone because that's going to take hours of my time and gigabytes of data transfer to get all of my media and apps back on the phone and configured.
After all my griping, I do have to give credit where it's due.  This phone is much more efficient than my Galaxy Nexus.  I left the S5 running in WiFi hotspot mode while on battery last night.  It still had over 50% left on the battery.  The Galaxy Nexus would be stone dead after about 4 hours.  I can live with that if I have to but I'd really rather be able to leave it on the charger at night.

  • How can I remove a person's face from a photo and then replace the spot with a person's face from another photo?

    How can I remove a person's face from a photo and then replace the spot with a person's face from another photo?

    In Editor, go to the expert tab.
    Open picture B, the one you wish to select the "replacement" face from to add to another picture.
    Use one of the selection tools, e.g. selection brush, lasso tool, to select the face. You will see an outline ("marching ants") once the selection is complete
    Go to Edit menu>copy to copy the selection to the clipboard
    Open picture A, then go to Edit>paste
    Use the move tool to position the face from picture B to cover the face on A
    In the layers palette you should see picture A as the background layer, and face B on a separate layer

  • HT204053 I previously use an apple id , I have tried to reset and even changed the id on the settings on my phone but each time I try to update an apple apps , I keep getting the same old ID on my phone. What do I do?

    I previously use an apple id called *** @hotmail.co.uk, I have tried to reset and even changed the id on the settings on my phone but each time I try to update an apple apps , I keep getting the same old ID on my phone. What do I do?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    Is the same true for using the App Store with a desktop machine? Someone installed a program on my machine (the IT department) and I would like to install the updates but it was installed under a different Apple ID. This anyone know how to change, or work around this particular issue?
    Any thoughts or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Doesn't matter.  That store is likely selling illegit iphones, brought oin from somewhere else.
    The fact remains the UAE government does not allow Facetime on iphones legitimately sold there.

    Is your problem with streaming audio broadcasts to and are you outside the UK ?
    If so you may have fallen prey to the BBC's Content Distribution Network which often seems to produce problems they keep re-issuing advice such as:

  • I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos.

    I updated to iOS 5.0. Now each time I sync the "other" category of memory grows. It is now up to 7.5 GB and I don't have room for videos. I deleted a .3 GB video and the tried to put it back on. Now it says the memory is full. It seems to not release memory once something is deleted.

    You need to restore your iPad now since "other" continues to grow with each sync. Something got corrupted when you were syncing and that is what probably caused this. This will explain how to restore.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    You can restore from a backup at the very end of the process - but if you restore from the backup and then the problem does not go away, you will have to restore to factory settings and then add all of your content back onto the device.
    BTW ... Other contains all of your app data, bookmarks, contacts, emails, text messages, some game save data and things of that nature.

    You may need to try this More than Once...
    Some users have reported as many as 8 or 9 attempts were necessary before success.
    Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
    But... if the Device has been Modified... this will Not necessarily work.

    Sounds like your iPhone was hacked to unlock and now updating locks back to the original carrier.
    Where did you get the iPhone?

  • When I exit Firefox, it continues running in the background. How can I prevent this and keep it from happening apparently by default?

    I know that Firefox continues running in the background because after I exit the program, I use CCleaner and it indicates programs are still running: Firefox. This happens every time I exit Firefox. There seems to be a default mechanism to keep it running. How can I prevent this?

  • How can I prevent a memory flow error from occuring when using 3D contour plots?

    After displaying a single contour plot a number of times, LabVIEW crashes and reports a memory overflow error.  I only load a single 2D array, never storing previouls ones. I always index the data for contour plot 0, and don't explicitly store multiple 2D arrays in any buffer, such as appending data to a shift register.  There appears to be some sort of memory leak in LV when using this feature.  Is there a programatic way to flush the stored data in a contour plot prior to displaying the next 2D array of data?

    Hello MicTomReiSr,
    Is this in the LabVIEW development environment?  Are you making changes to the code and then running the VI?  Does the plot contain default data? Is the indicator cleared when the program stops?  The Plot Clean Data method may be what you're looking for.
    Remember that the development environment maintains an undo history of the changes you've made, and copies both the block diagram and FP contents each time.  If you have a lot of data displayed on the front panel you end up copying it multiple times.  This isn't a problem unless you're actively editing the VI in question.
    If you do need to edit and run the VI at the same time (perfectly reasonable, although you might want to consider a 64-bit installation or more RAM if you commonly work with resource-intensive data types like 3D plots) try reducing the Undo history length (Tools>>Options), although be aware that you won't be able to back up as many steps.
    Regards,
    Tom L.

  • HT5129 How can one stop this annoying MobileMe notice from appearing every time iPhoto is opened?

    How can one stop the annoying MobileMe notice from appearing every time iPhoto is opened?

    Well then you can not remove something that obviously has been removed
    Did you remove the references in the iPhoto preferences?  Did this eliminate the problem?  If so then you are done and your problem has been
    N resolved.

  • Image changes each time you visit the site

    I want to use a selection of images on my home page which change every time you visit the website. For example, on your first visit it might be an image of a dog, then on your second visit it could be an image of a cat.
    Here is another example of this technique... http://www.applebybowers.com/ When you click the refresh button, the background image changes.
    Does anyone know how this can be done?
    Thanks in advance!
