HT204053 my husband updated his phone now everyone is getting each others text messages
after updating we now have all users getting each others texts
Welcome to the Apple Community Gretchen
You could simply ensure that only the numbers and addresses you wish to use on each device are checked at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. However this isn’t an ideal solution because the other person can always change these settings from their device and have some fun with you and your contacts.
You’d be far better getting them to delete your account from their device and have them create one of their own. If you are sharing an ID for some other service such as iTunes, you can continue to do so, you only need change the ID for messages.

I last updated my husbands iPhone 4 and since then we are getting each others text messages. Sometimes when I text a person that is on bothe our contacts it will come through as my husband and not me.
Try this:
On all impacted devices, go to settings, messages, send & receive and place a checkmark next to only those phone numbers and email addresses listed you want that device to recognize.
Good luck!

After installing IOS6 on my iphone 4 and my daughters iphone 4s we have this wonderful connection that we would like to break. We are now seeing/receiving each others text messages. I love my daughter but I don't really want to get all of her text messages from her friends and I don't really want to read every response she sends. Additionally, she can also see my text messages and there are times I really don't need for her to know everything that I am doing.
So It is time to cut the cord we need our own seperate texting. I am not sure what we did to have this happen but how do we undo it?Get your Apple ID sort out.
Only use the same Apple ID in Settings > iTunes & App Stores to share purchases, no where else.
Here some tips, it was written for IOS 5 but it's still valid for iOS 6.

How do I seperate myself and 2 teenagers phones and ipads from getting each others texts (icloud)
hi
This is all new to me...As a parent,I have my iphone with my account for apple with my email as the main contact address...here's the problem.
My two teenagers ALWAYS get or at least can read from their phones/ipads ALL my texts i send/receive and vice versa from my friends.
Since they are just 16- they share my account on Itunes/apple etc... QUESTION! Is there a way that I can BLOCK their iphones/ipads from getting my personal messages???
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank You!!If you use the same Apple ID for iMessage you'll get each other's text messages. You can still share the same ID for iTunes, but you should use separate IDs for iMessage. To change the ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a separate ID. (You should do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls.)

My husband and I share an Itunes account so use the same email address and password. Our iphones are now connected and we get each other's messages and share each other's contacts. How can we stop this happening?
A couple of different approached:
Create a second AppleID for one of you that includes the email address and phone number you wish to use for messaging, but do not apply it to the iTunes and app store (just keep the current one). My wife and I do this and it works quite well. Also allows for easier syncing of Contacts , notes etc. using icloud if you wish to do that.
Add additional emails/phone numbers to the existing account and change the Send/Receive settings for Messages. this will not fix the Contcts isues for you however. -
How do i make icloud work if my husband and I share the same itunes account but we dont want to get each others contacts, messages, apps etc?
Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account. -

How do I unsync two I phones from receiving each others text messages?
To fix this you have two choices:
On one of the phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID (you can still share the same ID for purchasing in Settings>iTunes & App Stores); or
On both phones go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". -
Hopefully someone can shed some light to this confused iphone/itunes user. I'm not a super smart person when it comes to programs, so please keep it simple for me. Step by step would be great!! I updated my iphone 4 in October 2011, my husband however, just did his. Mine went smoothly with no problems. After he updated his last week, ALL his music, apps, podcasts and videos were gone. I then plugged my phone in to sync and all his stuff started downloading to my phone. Yikes!! We do each have our own itunes log in accounts, but I beleive he updated his phone while itunes was logged in to my user name. It gets better....now he can't purchase or update ANYTHING from his phone. His user name no longer works. It shows my login and he has to enter my password. I did go the website earlier to try to create a seperate library with all of his apps and music on it. So that he could log on there and have only his music and such. Now when I start Itunes its all his stuff. Ahhh!!! Do I have to completely start over and lose all my photos, music and contacts from my phone? Please help!! I will try to be patient with who ever is willing to help but my husband is SUPER frustrated and so am I. Thanks!!! Hopefully I gave enough details
you can
1. go into settings->itunes & app stores click on the unwanted appleID and logout
2. go into settings and disable iMessage but it would still result in you not being able to facetime eachother as the appleID is the general handle and is meant to be 1 for each person -
Updated phone, now i cant get to my texts
My phone updated this morning and now i can get to my texts, when i go to them all it says is please wait
Oh my word, bwall1982! Lets show that phone who's boss. Are you using any 3rd party text application? I recommend enabling safe mode (steps http://bit.ly/T2hmHz) for an hour or so to see if the text messaging is working properly. If it does, there is an error/glitch in an application on the device. Keep me posted!
Thanks

My wife and I are getting each other's text messages. How do I turn that off so I get mine and she gets hers?
On each Device, go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive... and make certain that each device only has 2-items with check marks your phone number and your email address. click on the other persons number and email address such that it is not checked.

I updated my phone today on our family itunes account. I currently have the iphone 4 and needed updates. At the end of the update I got a message that my phone info would now be the same as my daughter's ( who usually uses the itune account). I didn't have a yes or no option. It was a statement. Now I am getting her text messgaes and she is getting mine if the other person has imessage. I also got her app's when my phone updated.... HELP!
Hi, jandmmiller.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This issue would be caused by both devices sharing an Apple ID for iMessage and FaceTime. I would recommend signing out of iMessage on his device. Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive, tap your Apple ID, and select Sign Out. Once this is done, I would recommend creating a new Apple ID specifically for iMessage and FaceTime here. Then he would need to sign in to iMessage and FaceTime with the new Apple ID.

I switched from having an iPhone to a Windows phone but I still use my old phone as an iPod. My friends who have iPhone's cannot send me text messages, only IMessages so I don't see them until I connect my iPod to WIFI. Help!!!
On the old iPhone, Settings > Messages - iMessage to Off.

Daughter had to get new iPhone why would we now not see each others text messages?
My daughters iPhone 4S was permantly damaged by update 2 weeks ago. Apple sent her a new phone. Now I can't see her texts and mine to her are shiwingbup in squares that look mor like code than words or she does not get them at all
He new phone was setup , according to her, using cloud by her husband.she says she has no problem with texting anybody but me
The exception is when she texted me 2 times while in the car, we had a whole conversation by text without a problem. But from home or work the problem described exists I should say I have never had a problem texting anybody but her, and only since she got the new iPhone
Any ideas as to why this would be, are appreciated help?Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure only the phone number is checked.
The best way to resolve this is to not share Apple IDs but the steps above will resolve the duplicate iMessage issues. -
My daughters iPod is on my iTunes account. Now we're "linked" so that I get most of her text messages and facetime requests and she gets some of my text messages. Is there any way to make sure this doesn't happen? It's very annoying!!

Ios7 - itunes mac and phone now wont talk to each other
I (foolishly) updated to ios7 on my iphone 4s.
Now itunes wont work, says it needed version 11 of itunes. so i download it.
itunes 11 wont load onto the mac as it says i need version 10.6.8 or later on the mac.
The mac software says its up to date (10.5.8) and there are no updates available....
Catch 22 and nothing is talking.Hi Marshall:
A Windows PC cannot read a Mac-format iPod. However, if you format the iPod on the PC, the Mac will be able to recognise it perfectly well. It is possible to manually load music from both the PC and the Mac to the PC-format iPod.
