How do I stop texts from going to 2 separate iPhone numbers? (Not Group Texting)

I have a friend and her husband who both have iPhones. Whenever I text her, the text also pops up on his phone. They were sharing an Apple ID, which I suspected might be the problem, so I helped her create her own Apple ID, but it's still happening. This is not a Group MMS. It's an individual text. If I send it to her, they both get it. If I send it to him, usually only he gets it.
This has been going on for months. Both are now using the latest Apple software update, but the issue still remains.
They tried to contact Apple, but were told that without an service agreement, too bad.
Can you think of any way to fix this issue?

Hello,
i think from what i can gather the issue here is that the iCloud on your child's ipod and on your iPhone are using the same apple id and that is why there is some confusion with the messages.
the best think to do would be to assign that iPod to another Apple id for use with iCloud but if you do not have access to that iPod you could use a different apple id yourself now or if that isn't an option you could just change the password instead and as long as the iPod touch owner doesn't know it only you will get the messages and a password prompt is displayed in the other devices and they will be unable to gain access to your data until the new password is inserted.
kind regards,
Joshua

  • How do I stop iMac from going to sleep automatically after 15minutes of inactivity

    How do I stop imac from shutting down automatically after 15minutes of inactivity, trying to play music but the imac keeps going to sleep, tried changing power saving preferences to never shut down, never go to sleep, unticked put the hard disks to sleep, automatically reduce brightness, but still goes to sleep.

    Try a PRAM/NVRAM reset.
    Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
    Shut down your Mac.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
    After resetting NVRAM or PRAM, you may need to reconfigure your settings for speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and time zone information. If issues persist, your Mac's logic board battery may need to be replaced. The logic board battery helps retain NVRAM/PRAM settings when your computer is shut down. You can take your Mac to a Mac Genius or Apple Authorized Service Provider to replace the battery on the logic board.

  • How do I stop Firefox from going to Google everytime I open the browser?

    In my organization, we have well over 2,000 PCs. Every time Firefox is open, it connects to Google IPs (74.125.x.x) even when we are not on Google's site and do not have Google as the search provider. From what I understand (and correct me if I am wrong), Firefox links to Google for anti-phishing/anti-malware lists. The problem I have is with over 2,000 PCs going thru our web filter, it is bogging down our web filter with these connections.
    Is there any way to stop Firefox from making these connections to Google (74.125.x.x)?

    First update your firefox to 24.0 from [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/ Mozilla.org].
    Second In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
    # Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
    Search the string "browser.startup.homepage",double click on it and change the value. Then press OK and restart firefox

  • How do you stop pictures from going into different rolls?

    Everytime I transfer a picture into iPhoto it goes into a different roll. When it comes to finding these pictures, it can take a long time. Can anyone tell me how to make pictures all go to the same place?

    Each import creates a new roll. You can't change this behavior.
    You can edit your rolls. Select Library from the Source Pane. Go to View > Sort Photos > by Film Rolls. If rolls are closed you can Option-click on one roll's disclosure triangle to open all of them at once. Open the info pane at the lower left of the iPhoto window. Now any time you select a roll by clicking its title, you can edit its info in the info pane. You can edit the title, date, and comments. You can select photo(s) and move to another roll by dragging until a roll's title is highlighted, then drop. You can combine rolls or create new rolls.
    I use large memory cards with my camera and import photos little by little, as I take them. I keep the photos from one card together in one roll. So each time I import, I immediately drag the new roll up to the existing roll for that memory card. This places those photos into the roll with the others, and deletes the newly created roll.

  • How do I stop backspace from going back one page?

    I am trying to play Evony but whenever I press backspace it dumps me out of the game and goes back to the logn page.
    I have tried adding an extension, but there are no how-to's telling me how tomake it work.
    It has taken me 20 mins to post this because every time I try and type in this box the page gets reloaded and corrupted & I have to start again. Safari keeps reloading a help section within the text box then hangs, then crashes.
    Ended up typing this in NOTEPAD and pasting it in.
    Think I'll use Any Other Broser TBH.

    OK, I have found that I cannot use Safari on this website!! I am now using Chrome to be ble to reply here!!
    Whenever I use Safari, this txt box gets filled in with a web page telling me something cannot be found, then the browser hangs, then crashes.
    Using Chrome, the backspace button does NOT navigate me back one page like it does in Safari.
    Add that to the fact that the Safari browser cannot visit the Apple page and you have my answer.
    DONT use Safari!!

  • How can I stop iMessages from going to *all* of our devices?

    As many households do, we share the same AppleID so that we can share apps and information easily.  With iOS5, now we iMessage each other for free, BUT all other iMessages that we send to other iOS5 users are also blasted out to all other iOS5 devices.  My husband doesn't want to see all my texts to other people, but now there is NO WAY to send a normal text to other iOS5 users...it will only go out as an iMessage.  Is the only solution to get a separate AppleID for my husband and then buy all of our apps again for him?  That would be a huge pain, essentially requiring him to erase his iPhone and iPad and start over.  Or do I disable iMessages for him?  Is there any way to distinguish between different users within the same AppleID?

    Everyone can still use the same Apple ID. What you need to do is go into - "Settings" , "Messages", "Receive At", and add a different Email for each user for where they can be reached for messages at. Once you have added a new Email to each device delete the original Email that was there which should have been the same as your Apple ID. Then when you send a new message, send the message to the Email for that person that was just added to their iPhone. There is no need for each family member to create their own Apple ID just to use iMessage. Each family member would only need to create their own Apple ID if everyone wanted to use iCloud and not have all family members data, contacts, calendars, etc sync together. If you are also using FaceTime between iPhones do the the same thing in the FaceTime settings.

  • How do i stop reminders from going to my email

    I have a iPhone 4s with IOS 5.0.1. Everytime I sent up a reminder through Siri, I also get an e-mail reminder at my Hotmail e-mail address I have set up on my iPhone. It also adds the reminder to my Hotmail calendar. Is there anyway to stop this? I just want the reminder to be put into the Reminder App, not on my calendar or send me an e-mail reminder. Thanks!

    Open the messages app on your Mac and go to Messages>Preferences>Accounts, click on your iCloud account on the left, then uncheck "Enable this account" to the right.

  • How can I stop Firefox from going to an https url automatically even when I type in http?

    The browser is loading https websites even when I type in http. Asking for security certificates, etc. My home page is listed as http:// ....but when Firefox opens it, it is https://
    I have changed the autobar fill in abbout:config, but it has had no effect.
    The only solution I've seen on the Internet so far is to switch to Chrome, something I'd prefer not to do.
    Running the latest Firefox 30
    Thanks.

    Your homepage is http://news.google.com/ per your system details.
    Google has recently started switching everything over to HTTPS, so you may want to check Google help about that.

  • How can I stop iTunes from trying to sync my iPhone?

    I sync my phone at home. when I plug my phone into my laptop at work, it starts syncing & messes up all of my bookmarks on podcasts & audiobooks.
    Nothing is actually set to sync and nothing actually syncs on my work computer, but the "syncing" shows up on the phone and it messes things up.
    It's REALLY annoying when I'm 8 hours into a book and it looses the book mark because of this.
    I'd like to plug my phone in at work and have absolutely nothing happen at all. All I want it to do is charge the battery.

    Have you tried opening iTunes on the laptop and checking the option "Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically" in iTunes>Preferences>Devices (or Edit>Preferences>Devices in Windows)?
