How to stop sent iMessages synching to all my devices!!!

There are some great things about iOS8 but also some really weird & annoying things...
Why is it that every time I send an iMessage it appears on every one of our iOS devices?
My wife does not need to know all of the work messages I send, likewise I do not need to know hers!
So O' wise ones... how do I turn off this overly enthusiastic iMessage 'sharing' feature and stop sent messages from spawning to all devices?

Each device can be set to get/send iMessages from any phone/email you use (in settings). So say you set each phone to only receive messages from that individual phone number and the iPad from an email. Then there would be no overlap.

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

How to stop the dock from showing all hidden images when hiding then showing applications

It's not really something to snap a screen shot of. I believe it would need to be a video clip. For instance, when I am working on multiple images in Photoshop, I often need many images open at the same time, but I only have one image viewable and active. The hero image is active on screen while I hide the other images in the dock by hitting the yellow - button on the images. Then I "Hide" Photoshop to do something in the Finder. When I go back to Photoshop, every image that is hidden in the dock will pop open again in the active window, not just the image I was currently working on. I want these images to stay in the dock until I need them, no matter how many times I Hide the Show Photoshop.

Well Thank you for everyone's help. I contacted the service provider, who uses google to support their email. If anyone else has this problem....with google supported email here is the solution.
Go to your email account

click "forwarding and POP/IMAP"
under POP download click "enable POP for mail that arrives from now on"
save changes
Then go to your iphone

My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested. How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
Peace,

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

How can I best make use of all my devices ? Mac mini, Apple TV, AirPort Extreme, airport express, ipad 2 (all purchased in 2011) and an old imac with OS X. I use my iPhones personal hotspot for all Internet.

Maybe you are looking to re-purpose this equipment versus getting rid of it if so, the best thing to do is search the internet for tutorials. And I say this because it's what I would do, there are a lot of tutorials online. Hope you can find good use for them. Worse case scenario if you can't find something right now, package them very nicely and when you come across something unbox and enjoy. I've re-purposed a mac color classic and LOVE IT!!

You need to enter the Apple ID and password that was used to set up/activate the phone. There is no way around this.

I want to burn my old cd's and have them in my iTunes library. Is there some "I" software that I can buy that will treat the new songs like "purchased" songs (i.e.: available for synching on all my devices)?

'With iTunes in the Cloud, the music you buy from the iTunes Store automatically appears on all your devices.1 And for music you haven’t purchased from iTunes, iTunes Match is the perfect solution. iTunes Match is built right into iTunes on your computer and the Music app on your iOS devices.2 It lets you store your entire collection in iCloud, even music you’ve imported from CDs or purchased somewhere other than iTunes. When it’s in iCloud, it’s available on all your devices. So you can enjoy all your music anywhere, anytime — on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, PC, or Apple TV.'
It costs $24.99 p.a.. Songs you've ripped from your CDs which are also in the Store will be recognized (hopefully) and be available: if they aren't in the Store you can uploads them. The limit is 25,000 songs (purchases do not count towards this limit). This is not part of the 5GB free storage.
Incidentally, just to clarify the terminology so you don't get into confusion, you don't mean 'burn' (make a CD from existing files) you mean 'rip' (copy files from a CD onto your computer).

How to stop getting iMessages.

My macbook is school owned by South Doyle High, and they blocked iMessage. I have recently upgraded my phone to a galaxy S4 from an iphone and now when someone else with an iphone sends me a text it sends as an imessage to my macbook. How do I change this? It's really on my nerves.

Hey alycatalways,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to deactivate iMessage. The following resource may help:
iOS: Deactivating iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5185
Additionally, the following article outlines how to unlink a phone number:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5538
How to unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone. Sign out in the following locations:
- Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
- Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
This should remove your phone number from other devices using the same Apple ID with FaceTime and Messages.
If the phone number is still available on other devices after you sign out of FaceTime and iMessage on the iPhone, you may need to sign out of iMessage and FaceTime on all your devices, then sign in to FaceTime and Messages again on devices you want to use.
Note: If you no longer have access to the iPhone that is using the number you want to remove, reset your Apple ID password.
Thanks,
Matt M.

How do I sync one game to all my devices

Is there a way to sync one game/progress to all my devices (ipad, Mini, iPhone, etc)? If so, how do I do this?

If it's in an IMAP account, deleting a message on one client should delete it on all. Otherwise you have to delete it on each client.

How to stop recieving imessages

However as she is still recieving imessages from people like me who have them turned on, I didnt even realise it had sent as an imessage.I dont want to have to go into settings an turn off imessages every time just to send her an message.
How can she stop recieving these imessages?

Hi.
So your iPhone is still in use ?
Try go to "General" - "Messages". Here, remove all entered information such as number and e-mail. Afterwards, turn off iMessage on the top of the screen.
I hope this was helpful.

How to stop iTunes 9 from deleting all my app data ?!

I used to sync my phone to two computers:
- Media and apps on my iMac
- "Info" (Calendars, Contacts) and Photos on my MacBook Air.
I simply had different items checkmarked for synching on the two machines.
This worked perfectly until iTunes 9. With 9, when I plugged into my Air to synch my calendar, it started copying all my apps to the laptop! I simply canceled that.
NOW, when I connect back to my iMac, the phone instantly and automatically starts deleting all my apps and replacing them with fresh copies! I am losing ALL my vital app data! (Plus it started installing tons of unwanted apps that I had unchecked--which will fill up the phone at some point.)
How can I stop this automatic deletion? I've now downloaded the 9.0.1 patch but I'm afraid to even plug in my phone again!
Before canceling the synch, I've already lost everything through the "A's" including some vital work stuff and hours of hard-earned game progress. Some could be recovered via TIme Machine and restoring an older backup... but I have some really important stuff on my phone since that last backup, and I don't want to wipe it.
Thanks for any advice.

Wiping my phone, restoring from backup, AND wiping all iTunes related files (from a search in Library and in Music) seems to have stopped this behavior.
(I couldn't wipe the iTunes files on the machine with my media and apps, but I did so on the other machine--where I only sync contacts, calendars and bookmarks. My iTunes library is empty there anyway.)
I don't know if this relates to an "app synching" issue that iTunes 9.0.1 fixed. Could be.

How to stop grouped users from seeing all users?

I have several users organized into groups, and would like to make is so that users can't see people outside of their group (or groups). No matter how I tweak permissions, all users get to see every other user no matter what group they're in.
That is unacceptable and makes Server pretty useless when we need to protect the ID of our users. How can I make it so that users see only the other users in their group?
Thanks in advance!

Replying to my own query as it may help other noobsters.
I've been able to control which users and groups can see a project by using the following schema:
Create Project Wikis by creating a group with the project name, giving the group a shared folder and creating a group Wiki. Edit Access to Services and check only those services needed by the project. For example, check File Sharing and FTP for Wiki and FTP service.
Create People categories by creating a group with the name of that group of people. For example, you could organize people by firm or department or staff category. Do not create a shared folder or group Wiki. Edit Access to Services and uncheck all services. The people groups will acquire the services and permissions they need from the Projects they join as members.
Create users and require them to log in. Make sure "administer this computer" is unchecked and the Home Folder: drop down reads "None - Services Only." Edit Access to Services and uncheck all services. Users will acquire the services and permissions they need from the Groups they join as members.
Now, add users to the people groups as appropriate. For example, add all engineers to the Engineers Group. Next add people groups to project groups as appropriate. For example, the Engineers Group may be added to the Bridge Project Group as well as the Building Project Group.
Once you have users in your groups of people and groups of people in your project groups you can start the Wiki then point to it with your favorite browser. Sign in with the same username you used to create the Wikis. Select a Project Wiki then click on the gear in the upper right corner. Choose "Wiki Settings..." from the drop down menu.
In the Wiki Settings dialog that appears, click on "Permissions" in the left pane. Enter the name of the Project (Group) then set its permissions to "Read &Write." Change the permissions for "All logged in users" and "All unauthorized users" to "None." Save changes.
Now sign in as a user with limited permissions and verify that they can see only those wikis they're supposed to see.
On the FTP side, they'll be able to see all group folders but they can only open those they have access to. Not great, but better than a kick in the head.
