HT3529 i am receiving messages intended for someone else and can also see their replies

Hi
I am receiving messages on my phone intended for the wife, but i can also see her replies to the person
how is this?

They are iMessages & this is happening because you both use the same Apple ID for iMessage, iCloud & FaceTime. One of you needs to get a separate Apple ID & use that for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud. You can continue to use the same Apple ID for iTunes content, but for the rest you both need separate Apple ID's. You can create an Apple ID here:

I traded my iphone in and now have a new one (iPhone 5) with the same SIM. Since, I have had some iMessages meant for someone else and some strange things happening on my phone (applications opening by themselves, calls disappearing from log). Any ideas?

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

Yes, you can. Sites published with BusinessCatalyst or to an FTP host can be edited by clients. Here is a short tutorial about the new In-Browser Editing feature: In-browser Editing | Adobe Muse CC tutorials

I was able to create a digital signature for someone else and use it. How is that protected??

I was able to create a digital signature for my boss who's on vacation using his email address. I figured when I used the signature he would get some sort of email confirmation letting him know, but he got nothing. So it seems like I could create a signature for anyone and use it on any document without their knowledge. What's the protection against anyone creating a signature for anyone else and using it whenever?? Am I missing something??

A digital signature can not be used to verify someone's identity. I can create a signature using anyone's name and email address. In fact, those things are irrelevant to the signature. The only thing that matters is the key used to create it, and therefore to verify it.

Message not showing full conversation and can't see incoming messages

I just started having a problem with "Messages" on my iPod Touch 4G. When I click to see a conversation, I have to scroll way down to see it...but can only see part of it. And all conversations are the same, so I have lost conversations with others as they have been replaced by this one particular conversation.
In addition, I get the pop-up when a new message has come in, but when I go into "Messages" to read the full thing, it's not there. Any ideas?

If you did an OS reinstall did the problem Go away ?
If so what is the issue as nothing you do now is going to change things ?

Receiving imessages meant for someone else

So this is a bit of a strange one. I have now on several occasions received texts (Imessages) from people who have been trying to contact my partner. However my girlfriend doesnt have an Iphone. So i dont understand how they are texting her number yet im receiving Imessages for these.

Hello Russellthehall,
Thanks for the question. This usually happens if either your phone number or your partner's has become associated with the other’s Apple ID. If so, you’ll want to unlink it:
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201349
Unlink a phone number
To remove a phone number from an Apple ID, sign out of FaceTime and Messages on your iPhone:
- 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.
Cheers,
Matt M.

I'm setting up a PC for someone else and I have to access my iCloud account from this new system

All I want to do is get into my iCloud account from a different system (pc) that is new so I can set it up. it is so locked up with "we need your name" that I hate buying anything with new OS. It;'s all in your bank account on your street in your bedroom. invasive.

If the old ID is yours, and if your current ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My computer was used by someone else how can i remove their information for mine

my computer was my wifes old one and her iphone information is on here so i cant connect mine how would i remove her information so i can start clean with my own

The right way to do that is to copy your iTunes Library - the one that you used to sync your iPhone - to your wife's old computer.
The way it works is that your computer's content is transferred to the iPhone. So you need to start with a computer that already contains the information that you want to transfer to the iPhone. Or, simply restore the iPhone and configure it as a new device.

Can't download apps, says I'm logged in as someone else, and can't switch accounts.

when i go to download apps form my ipod touch, it requires a password to a username i've never seen before. These are legit apps, and i have no idea why and it won't let me change the usename, only allows me to type in a password.

Go to Settings>iTunes and App Store and sign out and sign in with your ID

Why does App Store update ask me for someone else's Apple ID?

I have 14 Apps that have updates available. I was able to update a few using my Apple ID. However, the rest all pop up with a message asking for someone else's Apple ID and Password when I click on Update.
I know this person but all the apps were downloaded using my Apple ID so I do not understand why it is asking me for his password and showing me his Apple ID.
I have tried signing off and back on but still get the same results. This is fairly new problem. I used to be able to use my own Apple ID to upgrade the apps on my phone. But not anymore. I do not have this person's password so I am unable to complete the update.
Any ideas on how to change this behavior?
Thanks
Pvtbear

Those apps were apparently purchased on the other person's Apple ID or were transferred to your computer from the other person's computer. Those apps are not registered against your Apple ID. Either you use the Apple ID and password of this other person or you purchase the apps using your Apple ID.
It's simple enough to check your Purchases page in the App Store to see if these apps are listed for you.

How to stop getting text messages intended for another family member?

Hi,
I occassionally get a text message intended for another member of my family, and vice versa. When that happens we both get the message, and the other person can then see the rest of the thread. I think the problem is that we share 1 AppleID. If that's the cause I'm not sure how to correct it because we are also sharing all our app, music, and video purchases made with that ID. We are also on the Sprint network, if that is relevant.

On each device: Settings>Messages>Send/Receive...edit here & just make sure phone number is checked, or that only one person uses the Apple ID. Either that, or you each get separate Apple ID's for iMessage, FaceTime & iCloud. you can continue to use the same ID for iTunes content.

Why do my kids get messages intended for me on their ipods?

Why do my kids get messages intended for me on their ipods?

If you share the same apple ID then they can use your phone numbers to receive and send messages.
Check Settings > Messages >Send & Receive.

Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their computer to read my messages without me knowing? If so how can I stop that?

Is it possible for someone who updated my phone on their Mac to read all my current messages? And if so how can I stop it?

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
I really doubt it. To do that, that person must have stolen your Apple ID email and password, and then, log in Messages in his/her iPhone with your Apple ID to read your messages. The Apple ID of an iPhone doesn't change when you connect it to your Mac, so don't worry

HT5622 If I have two emails for my iMessage how can I see or receive my msj or the email that is not the primary email

If I have two emails for my iMessage how can I see or receive my msj or the email that is not the primary email

It's basically ment for iMessage and FaceTime. I might be wrong but this can only be done between two Apple products that allow this function. You won't receive an email if I sent you an iMessage to a secondary email you use for iMessages. You would only receive a text message. Now if someone using a PC sent an email to the secondary email you use you will receive an email not a text message. The secondary email is used basically if you do not have a data plan and you're connected to wifi you can still send iMessages using those emails you provided.
