How do i stop receiving iMessages on my macbook pro. Me and my husband and his little brother share his iTunes account and I would like to stop receiving a teenagers text on my computer.
I just bought a brand new macbook pro and I keep getting my little brother in laws texts messages showing up on my computer. as well as mine and my husbands. we all share an account. and all have apple devices.
Best is to setup Family Sharing and create a new ID for him.

My husband and I currently share an iTunes account but we would like to have separate accounts. How do we do this?
you would have to create a new appleid for one of you in itunes or at appleid.apple.com since you cant split up an account
you can't move purchases from one to another but you can always keep that account for the store and just use the new one for icloud facetime etc -
Please help me separate these two emails. She was new to computers so, a couple of years ago I just set he up under my itunes account using her own email address. I can't seem to find a way to delete her from my itunes account and then set her up with her own itunes account. Every time I try It says that email already has an itunes account. Help!
Your iTunes Store account has nothing to do with you each recieving the other's text messages on your iOS devices. What you need to do is seperate your iCloud accounts.
You should post your question to the iCloud on my iOS device forum. -
My wife and I have iPhones. We share an iTunes account and we want to keep it that way. My iMessages began showing up on her iPhone and vise versa. I figured out to go to settings, messages and have only the send/receive checked for our individual phone numbers. When we do that however, we no longer can send iMessages to each other and it goes over SMS. I don't want that. I want to be able to send and receive iMessages with my wife without having to have a seperate iTunes account and without each other seeing each others iMessages to other iMessage users. How do I do this?
One of you needs to set up a separate Apple ID for iMessaging purposes only.

I am recieving my brothers messages on my MacBook, we share an itunes account and an icloud account is there any way to stop his messages and add my own?
Don't share the same ID for iMessage (you can still share the same ID for other things if you want). On your iOS device, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID. Then on your Mac, open the Messages app and go to Messages>Preferences>General, select your iMessage account, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID.

My brother and I share an iTunes account and his text messages show up on MY macbook. His texts don't show up on my phone though. how can i delete his number off my iMessage on my laptop?
These are iMessages only.
He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at. -

HI Ralph,
I'm having a hard time finding solution for iMessage.
I can't send to one specific contact - we both use 4s iOS 6.1.3 and so is he.
We cant send to each other. We tried to on/off sign in And sign out Apple ID on both phone and still doesn't work
We even reset and erase content on his iPhone.
We use different Apple ID.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks in advance!
I have added some punctuation and spread out the text to see if I have understood what you were saying.
The Original Post was about iMessages from the Mac Messages app.
Now we are talking about two people with an iPhone each.
You seem to be centered on something being amiss with his set up as you have Reset and Erased his iPhone (no info on any restore from any backup).
Can he/could he contact with anyone else before you reset his iPhone ?
Can he contact anyone else now ?
If this person cannot contacts anyone from his iPhone it would seem he has not set up the iPhone correctly.
This may be a simple thing such as not having a Data Contract and therefore having Data Off and not be connected to a Wifi Network either.
It may be more involved such as there being an issue with his Apple ID.
If he removes the Apple ID can he Send from the iPhone Number ?

My family shares an itunes account and ALL their songs loaded on my phone with ios 7 upgrade. Previously, while I could SEE songs "Not on this iPhone" they did not reside on my phone. How do I get only my songs? Do I have to sync with my computer? Help...
This is sad, as I am replying to myself. Upon further review I see that while all songs are LISTED, that are not actually there. By going to Settings - iTunes & App Store - "Show All" I was able to "turn off" SEEING purchases not made on my phone. Solved my own problem, but the way it looks in IOS 7 is confusing.

my kids set up itune account on my computer years ago and no one remembers the password. They started new accounts on their macs. I want to start my own itunes account, but I would like to get some of the music off this account. Any suggestions?
The easiest way would probably be to recover the data of the old account and change it to match your current info, after that you can continue to use the account without any problems. To recover your account go to: Apple - My Apple ID
Alternatively if you want to start a new account do it and then contact iTunes support to see if the y can transfer your purchases (I know of cases on which they have done it) -
Me and my dad share an iTunes account and all of his music he has purchased on ITunes shows up on my songs list with a cloud icon next to it. How do I get rid of these from my songs list? Cuz it's doing the same thing on my iPhone.
Go to Edit > Preferences > Store, and uncheck the box for "Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases."

It sounds like you are running an older version of OS X (probably SnowLeopard). What version of OS X are you running?
Mavericks is the newest version (10.9), and is a free upgrade. -
How do I create more room on my MacBook Pro so I can install Snow Leopard?
I've only got 4.something GB left and it says it needs 5 GB?
Which then begs the question, will I be able to do anything with the computer.
I think I need to get some stuff off, but do not know where to look up what is taking up the most room.
I have an extra hard drive.
I have iDisk.
I have a Time Machine, but it backs up one of my three Macs.
Thanks.A utility like GrandPerspective is a good one for seeing what is taking up space on your hard drive.
Video and photo files tend to take up a lot of room. -

How can I disable receiving iMessages on my macbook pro?
I recently got a macbook pro & when setting up I selected to receive iMessages on my mac and I'm now realizing how incredibly annoying it is to be on my computer and have my phone next to me and receive notifcations on both. How can I turn iMessage off on my mac?
The two are not related.
If you aren't receiving iMessages on your iPhone, try turning iMessage off and back on with your iPhone and/or sign out of your Apple ID with iMessage on your iPhone followed by logging back in with your Apple ID.
If you aren't receiving text messages - SMS/MMS, you need to contact your carrier.
