  • How do I change the phone number associated with messages on my Mac?

    My computer is posting messges meant for my wife. How do I delete her phone number from my iMac Messages?

    Hi,
    Remove the Apple ID from any iPhone you don't want it linked to.
    On the Mac go to the Messages app and Sign Out of the Apple ID in iMessages account.
    Quit the App.
    Now open a Finder window
    In the Go Menu use the ALT key at the same time and select the Library that appears.
    In here navigate to the Preferences folder.
    Delete the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file (Drag to Trash).
    This will delete all Aliases and Alternatives in the iMessages account.
    Re-open Messages and Add the Apple ID you want to use.
    Now Add the Apple ID to any iPhone you do want to use it with.
    Restart Messages on the Mac and when the pop ups appear to say what the iPhone is using Accept the option.
    If any iPhone number appears  in a pop up that you do not want to use then Deny the pop up.
    (it will still add the Apple ID or phone number to the Alternative/Aliases list and the Start Conversation From drop down but they will not be active).
    Basically once any two iPhone number become linked via iMessages it is very difficult to remove this link.
    An Additional iPhone number on your iPhone as an alternative cannot be removed.
    Only deleting the .plist will remove it (at that point in time) on the Mac.
    Whilst denying fresh pop ups helps the items still seem to be listed.
    I have two iPhones using two different Apple IDs and obviously two numbers  along with an iPad and the Mac running Messages.
    Periodically each devices gets a pop up saying Messages is trying to display all the options on all devices again
    As William said the simplest method is to Untick the item in the list of Alternatives.

  • HT5622 My husband and I share the same apple id for our iphones, how do we change the phone number associated with our apple id to his phone number? He is getting my messages because the ipod has my number in it not his?

    My husband and I have iphones that use the ame apple ID, but different numbers and email addresses, how do we change the phone number that is associated with his ipod to his phone number?

    Use his ID for Settings>Messages>Send And Recieve and for Settings>FaceTime.
    If he does not have an ID then
    Create a NEW account using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.

    How do i change the phone number that my Keychain is associated with?

    Hello Boogie3339,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please see below on how to change your phone number for iCloud Keychain:
    Change how new devices can be approved
    After setting up iCloud Keychain on your Mac, you can change whether your iCloud Security Code can be used to approve iCloud Keychain on new devices. You can also change the iCloud Security Code or the phone number used to verify your identity after you use the iCloud Security Code.
    In iCloud Preferences, make sure Keychain is on, click Account Details, then change your iCloud Security Code settings.

  • HT1766 How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    How do I change the phone number associated with my ipad mini wifi?

    TestArchitect wrote:
    Umm, incorrect. My new ipad retina wifi, and my wifes mini wifi both have a phyone number associated with them, in facetime and imessage. It syncs messages with teh iphone of that number, and facetime calls to that number go into BOTH devices... Yes, both devices ring when that number is sent a facetime request.
    Again, anyone know how to change the number phone number associated with a ipad wifi only, for facetime and imessage apps?
    Uhmm, no, the number does not belong to the iPad. It belongs to the iPhone the Apple Id used on the iPad is associated with.
    If you need to change that number, then you need a different Apple ID that is associated with a different iPhone number. Note, the number must belong to an iPhone with an Apple ID, otherwise it won't work.
    The iPad itself has no number associated to it. It is linked to an Apple ID which in turn is linked to an iPhone that has a number. 

  • HT5834 What if I no more have access to the hhone number i originaly put in? That means I can't get the code so how do i change the phone number?

    Please help me!
    I can't have access to the Keychain code that is supposed to be sent to my phone because I changed my phone so i no longer have the same number ...
    How do I change the phone number so I can have access to the code?

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4644:
    Check that you have the correct phone number associated with your account:
    Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later: Tap Settings > iCloud > Account, then tap Keychain. Check that the phone number listed under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
    Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account Details. Check that the phone number listed under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.

  • How do I change the phone number of an original iPhone

    My oldest daughter just got a new phone for xmas. She is giving her original iPhone to her sister (who's iphone was stolen) I erased the content, but how to I change the phone number to my younger daughter's #, which is still active.

    I thought the data erase feature was only on the new G3's? We did think she had password lock on, which is why we figured it couldn't be returned. We thought whoever found it (she knows she lost it on the school bus, there were only two other high school girls on the bus at the time) couldn't get in to figure out who it belonged too...now we realized she had turned it off and someone actually "stole it" v. "found it"
