How do I stop my 2 iPhone 5s from sharing calls and messages
MMyself and my husband each have iPhone 5 with newly down loaded iOS 8.1.2. Now they are sharing incoming calls and messages . How do I stop this. We only have 1itunes acct.
Easiest solution is to use different Apple IDs for iCloud. You can still use the same one in iTunes/App Store, but for iCloud, one of you make a new Apple ID, sign out of the shared Apple ID under iCloud, and then sign in with the new Apple ID there. The Continuity feature's basic requirement (the master switch if you will) is that the devices be using the same iCloud account. This will also prevent problems such as accidentally deleting or modifying each other Contacts/Calendars, running out of the free 5GB of iCloud storage, etcetera.
Only use a shared Apple ID for iTunes/App Store.
For iCloud/Messages/FaceTime/GameCenter, use a unique personal Apple ID, unless you want to get each others iMessages, FaceTime calls, contacts and calendars and game progress.

How can I stop my IOS 7 device from sharing my location with IOS 8 devices?
How can I stop my IOS 7 device from sharing my location with IOS 8 devices? My friend who upgraded their device to IOS 8 said that I'm automatically sharing my location via iMessage details. I don't want to upgrade to IOS 8 yet because I don't have space. Is there a way to disable sharing my location with IOS 8 devices by default? I don't want to turn all location services off because I frequently use Google Maps.
Actually that's not true. I have a device (iPhone) running ios 7. My friend has an iphone running ios 8. When she clicked into her imessage thread with me, clicks on details in the top right corner it will show her my GPS location. It's doing this automatically because I do not have ios 8 on my phone therefore I don't have the ability to "stop sharing my location". Apple is automatically sharing the location. If you are using an ios 8, apple automatically pulls in location data for anyone you are messaging not using ios 8. I haven't found a way around this unless you turn off all location services on your phone which is immensely disturbing.

How do I stop my deactivated iPhone 4 from constantly asking me to sign in to iCloud?
Aloha!
And HELP!
Since I upgraded to an iPhone5s I would like to use my deactivated iPhone 4 for the music that is still on it but it's constantly prompting for my iCloud password. There is no longe any service so this "feature" is most annoying. Hopefully someone knows how to make it stop.
Aloha Rufflt 808Hi Peter, unfortunately you have to delete the account. If you don't remember the password anymore, then please go to https://iforgot.apple.com/ to reset the password.
With kind regards,

My son has lost his Ipod today in a park - we scoured the place for hours but did not find it - it is linked with my personal email address, has thousands of apps that he has paid for and songs that he has bought on itunes. Does anyone know how I can disable the ipod so that whoever has found it cannot use the functions, or at least how to stop the ipod linking with my email and itunes?
Advice gratefully received!!- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

How do I stop my wife's iPad from receiving all of my texts to and from my iPhone. I ready to scrap all things apple
You could create the new Apple ID for her and keep the existing one for you.
If you need/want to keep the same ID, perhaps this article will help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538

Help! How do I stop photos in the albums of the photo app on my iPhone 6 from being scrambled and randomized after syncing to iTunes?
Hi LoboCatholic,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of the issue you are desscribing. I am not certain that this will address your specific issue, but if you are having photo organization issues in iOS 8 on your new iPhone 6, you may find the following article helpful:

How do I stop encrypting my iPhone backups if I've forgotten my backup password?
How do I stop encrypting my iPhone backups if I've forgotten my backup password?
I've just been bitten by my backup being TOTALLY USELESS because I've forgotten my password, so ALL FUTURE backups are USELESS because I don't know the password and I can't STOP encrypting because I don't know my password.
HOPELESSLY POORLY THOUGHT OUT SYSTEM.
VERY UN-APPLE
Not happyHello Robot-the-Cat,
I can understand that frustration of not being able to access your back up because of a forgotten password. Take a look at the article below for some suggestions to try to get the password unlocked. It will give some suggestions of past password ideas as well as if you are using a Mac, you can recover the password using Keychain Access.

How do I stop all of my devices from ringing when a call comes in
How do I stop all of my devices from ringing when a call comes in
Use a different iCloud account on each device.
Don't use iCloud at all.
Disable Bluetooth.
Don't connect to the same wi-fi network on all the devices.
Go to Settings > FaceTime and turn it off.
Go to Settings > FaceTime on the devices and disable 'iPhone Cellular Calls'.
Any of these will work, but the last one is probably best. -
How can I stop my MacBook's iTunes from asking if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one? Is it a bug from iTunes's version 11.0.5?
Since I dowloaded and installed iTunes' version 11.0.5 on my MacBook, it is behaving strangely:
- displaying an alert message asing if I want to delete tracks each time I press to play one
- not playing tracks in the order they're displayed in my library, sometimes jumping from one playlist to the other
I did check my settings and preferences for playing tracks and tried changing some parameters in them, however it still doesn't help.
It seems to be a bug in iTunes' version 11.0.5 — if you had a similar experience and found how to solve this discomfort, thanks for contacting me.Oui, je parle français. En fait, il semble qu'Apple ait résolu le problème auquel j'étais confronté car ce problème a disparu suite à la mise à jour logicielle d'après (désormais sous Mavericks).
(It seems Apple solved the problem I was facing since this problem disappeared after I updated my software to/under Mavericks). -
I was given an iPhone 4 from a friend and I was trying to reset it to factory settings but it won't let me. It's keeps popping up with a box to put in my friends iCloud account password in but I don't know it. How can i delete their iCloud account without knowing their password?
You cannot delete the iCloud account that is signed on to Find My iPhone unless you know the password. This is called the Activation Lock:
ACTIVATION LOCK
It is an anti-theft security measure that is a part of iOS 7. You can only get around this by following the steps in this support article:
Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account
Contact your friend. This is the only way around the lock.
Best of luck,

How do I remove my credit card information from my ipad and iphone
How do I remove my credit card information from my ipad and ipone account?
Nice idea, but no. You are no longer allowed to remove it, it will keep asking you for a valid account and won't let you save it with anything less. So if your account has been hacked from iTunes (like mine has in the past, to the tune of several thousand dollars), and you don't want to keep a credit card on file, just add it in and delete it when you are done buying something, this is no longer an option. Since I stupidly wanted to buy something and didn't know this had been changed, I now get to hope my account does not get hacked again.
I am so sick of Apple making everything so bloody difficult, I'm about this close to ditching my iphone and ipad. They are fabulous when they work, but if you have software problems (my ipad is currently a very expensive book reader, since it won't do anything else with any reliability after going to iOS 6), there is no help available, and no fixes available. Help online just sends you in endless circles, help on the phone is useless if you have not paid for a service contract. -

hi, my name is Laith I'm from Iraq I just want to know what are the steps for buying a new iphone 5 from apple store and how to ship it to Iraq ???? and I would be grateful for you
Legality aside (I'm not a lawyer and have no opinion on the matter) in order to make a purchase of an iPhone 5 you would need to travel to a country where they are for sale and purchase it there. Be sure to get one that is officially unlocked or you would not be able to use it with your cell carrier. Be sure that your carrier supports use of the iPhone before you buy. Also note that the warranty of the iPhone is only valid in the country of purchase.
Appe does not ship outside of the countries where it sells the phones. -
