How do I stop my iPhone from getting iMessages from my iPod?

Sometimes when my phone is about to die, I tell the person I'm texting that I'm gonna use my iPod Touch to text them back. I use the iMessage on my iPod but I keep hearing my phone ring notifying me that I got a message. I would ALWAYS have to go to the Messages setting on my phone>>> send & receive>>>and only leave my phone number available. I deselect the email address. Everytime I use iMessage from my iPod, my phone would always ring and the "send & receive" would always go back to be my phone number and my email address. Is there a way to stop messages from my iPod from going to my iPhone? I always go to my phone and deselect the email address, but somehow it automatically goes back to the email address. I only want my phone to use my phone number and my iPod Touch to use my email address for iMessaging.

This happens when you share apple id for imessage.
on her ipod - settings - message - send and receive - remove your apple id.
You'll need to create a new id for her so she can use imessage, or just remove your apple id from your imessage settings.

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice?

How can I stop my iPhone from synching my contacts and groups lists twice....I am using iCloud but am not sure how correct this duplication.

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

Hey, constantly since I installed the iOS 7.1 upgrade, my iPhone has been constantly shutting down and I think it's really frustrating and I whant to know how I can stop my iPhone from shutting down so I can downgrade to iOS 7.0.4?

7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

How do i stop my iphone from talking to me?

how do i stop my iphone from talking to me!!!!????

the post above me is a good way, but you can also do it in itunes.
when your device is plugged in, and itunes (the program) is open.
if you click on your device on the left column of itunes under the Devices heading. you'll see in the middle of itunes the Summery tab.
scroll down and you will see some options.
open itunes when this device is connected
manually mange music and videos..
etc etc.
underneath you can turn off accessibility by selecting the Configure Universal Access button
in the pop up window select neither from the options (voice over, zoom, neither)

What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?
Basic Troubleshooting Steps when all else fails
- Quit the App by opening multi-tasking bar, and swiping the App upward to make it disappear. (For iOS 6, holding down the icon for the App for about 3-5 seconds, and then tap the red circle with the white minus sign.)
- Relaunch the App and try again.
- Restart the device. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
- Reset the device. (Same article as above.)
- Reset All Settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings)
- Restore from backup. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766 (If you don't have a backup, make one now, then skip to the next step.)
- Restore as new device. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137 For this step, do not re-download ANYTHING, and do not sign into your Apple ID.
- Test the issue after each step. If the last one does not resolve the issue, it is likely a hardware problem.

How do I stop my Iphone from asking for a password to play music?

After downloading the new ISO my Iphone now wants a password to play music, how do I stop it from doing that? Before when you plugged it into the car it started playing, now I need to give it my password each time to get it to work.

OK, thanks much. Checked andadjusted setting and now all works like before. And you introduced me to a nice security setting I did not know existed and one I can set up easily if i need to . Thanks again.

How do I stop my iPhone from auto-syncing...?!?!

First off, I realise this is to do with my iPhone, but I feel it's definitely an iTunes problem.
Secondly, excuse the multiple question-marks and exclamation-marks in the title, but my frustration know no bounds on this, because I am seemingly doing everything correctly, yet still iTunes persists in tormenting me.
And now, the problem:
I have my iPhone set to NOT automatically sync when I plug it in. The checkbox is unchecked. In fact, I have even gone one step further and checked the box in the Preferences which says "Disable automatic syncing" so that when I plug my iPhone in and it shows up in iTunes, the option in the main window to "Automatically sync" is actually greyed out.
However, every time without fail, when I plug my iPhone into my computer and iTunes is running, the screen on my iPhone will change to the standard syncing screen, saying "Sync in progress. Slide to cancel", etc.
But if I leave it like that and look in my iTunes window, nothing is happening. Nothing's syncing. But the screen on my phone says it is. And I can't do anything with it, so I have to do the "slide to cancel" process to get my phone screen back.
However, when I then launch the iPod app on the iPhone and try to access my music, I'm greeted with a message which says either "Cancelling sync" (which is bizarre because I cancelled it already and opened my iPod app, right?) or "Updating library - this may take a few minutes"...
And I wait and wait and wait, and the message stays there, and I can't access my music.
The only way to regain access to my music is to either unplug my iPhone from the computer, or to just go ahead and do a sync via iTunes, and then wait for it to complete a genuine sync, rather than this phantom sync.
I like to listen to my music while I'm at my computer not through iTunes on my computer but through my iPhone instead, and I like to have it plugged in to keep the battery charged.
So, as you might imagine, it gets a little frustrating because every time I plug it in, I can't listen to my music!!
I have to sync my phone quite unnecessarily in order to do so, and it's frustratingly annoying, especially considering I have deliberately unchecked the options which would normally do this process.
And if I'm already in the process of listening to some music when I decide to plug my iPhone in to top the battery up, then it's even more annoying, because my music stops playing and I "lose my place" as it were, and after the sync is done, I have to go back and find the music I was listening to, and find the song, etc.
Any help anyone? I've checked boxes, unchecked boxes, deleted prefs, re-started, etc. All to no avail.
I'm running the latest iPhone OS 3.0 on an iPhone 3GS, and using iTunes 8.2 under Mac OS X 10.5.6.

Thanks for the response gakker, but I've double-checked the camera / iPhoto / Image Capture scenario, and I'm 100% positive it's got nothing to do with that.
Plugging in my iPhone has no effect on anything related to this.
The other thing I should have mentioned is that when iTunes on my Mac is NOT running, then nothing happens on my iPhone screen when I plug it in to my Mac. I only get the "Sync in progress" message when iTunes IS running.
It's interesting though that you say you also get this "Sync in progress" message, albeit only for a second or two though.
Can I just double-check something with you however... When you say:
+"at no time was my iTunes playback interrupted"+
do you mean the iTunes on your Mac? Because the problem I have is that the iPod-playback on my iPhone is interrupted.
So can you clarify that for me, please? If you have music playing on your iPhone, and you then plug your iPhone into your Mac when iTunes is running on your Mac, does the music playback on the iPhone get interrupted?

How can I stop my iPhone from becoming a brick because it loses service.

Hello,
I have an iPhone 5, currently with iOS 8 GM, and the problem with my iPhone is after maybe 5 minutes of being locked, if you turn it on, it loses service, or drops down to 1 bar (circle) says "Searching..." Then after 30 seconds, I will get service again. It does this 9 out of 10 times I want to use my phone. But that part isn't the issue, the issue I'm having is, with iOS 8, if it loses service for a while, I get a "Activation Required" and I can't use my phone at all until I reactivate it. Not a problem if I'm around Wifi, it takes 4 seconds to activate it. BUT, I'm not always around wifi and I can't use Cellular Data to activate it. I get a "Could not reach activation servers" or something. So my question is, what can I do about this? Besides getting a new phone, I already preordered the iPhone 6, and that could take 2-6 weeks to replace this phone. Is there some setting that is blocking it from activating on Cellulor Data? Can I permittatly keep it activated? Anything that will stop the phone from becoming a brick 2-4 times a day.
Thanks in advance,
Ryan.

I agree that it is a hardware issue and I would have replaced, but losing service was something I just delt with over the years, but now with iOS 8, its becoming a problem. Plus with the release of the iPhone 6...
I just thought I missed a software setting that would block activating on Cellular Data or something similar to that.

How can I stop my iphone from signing my emails "Johnny Appleseed"?

When I send an email from my iphone it identifies the sender as "Johnny Appleseed" causing much confusion, how do I stop this?

Go into Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Is this happening at the bottom in the signature section, or in the header of the mail where your email address is? If it is the signature, then go to the Signature area of the Mail settings. If this is in the header, then go to the account in question and edit your account information to include your name instead of Johnny.

How can I stop my iPhone from starting to play music in my pocket?

Almost everytime I get my phone out of my pocket it's playing music! How do I stop it doing this it's always locked before it goes into my pocket.

It should only do that if you hold down the T key at startup. Otherwise the PRAM battery is probably near death, or the T key needs to be cleaned so it doesn't think it is being held down. To clean the keyboard properly, you will probably need to bring it in for service.

How do I stop my iphone from sending my imessages to another iphone on my account?

When I updated my Iphone 4 to the new iOS 6.1 software I had to do a restore process and everything on my phone got deleted, and when I started texting, I realized that everytime I received an imessage from someone, it was also going to my sisters iphone as well. Because of this she is getting all of my conversations that I am havign with people. And we have the same apple id account. Also, whenever she sends a text to someone that I have previously texted, it says that I actually sent the text instead of her. I was just wondering if anyone knew how to fix it.

As has been explained countless times already on these forums...your phones are sharing the same AppleIDs. Craete your own ID and configure your phone to use those services with that ID. Edit your Messages settings to reflect the correct phone number and ID: Settings --> Messages --> Send/Receive
