HT3529 Im getting his messages and facetime requests.  Recently others are receiving messages from my daughters iphone and its appearing as my sons itouch.  Help!

I set up my son's ipod touch on my apple ID.  Recently, I've been receiving all his imessages as well as facetime requests.  I don't want to have his messages and he can see mine.  ICloud is not activated.  Additionally, my daughter, who has a seperate apple ID but does you same computer for itunes and pulls songs from my ID, is having her messages show up to others as if its coming from my son's itouch.  I'm not sure what to do at this point but I don't want visibility of my text/imessages on his touch.  How do I remedy this problem?

On each different devices go to:
- Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and
- Settings FaceTime and look at the email address, Apple ID and phone number (If present)
A phone number only appears if the same Apple iD is used on an iPhone with iOS 6
You do not want the same email address and phone number one different devices.
Best is to use for Messages and Facetime a different Apple ID

  • How can I get my messages from my old Iphone 4 to my new Iphone 4s?

    I just bought the new Iphone 4s, and have activated it and synced it with my computer. The messages from the old Iphone 4 have not transfered over. I had to set up many of the settings that were once configured on my previous phone such as my e-mail accounts. The messages are really important and I would like a solution to trasfer them to the new phone. So if this is a known problem or if there is a solution, it would be very helpful if someone could share.

    Thank you for your response. I was talking about text messages and not e-mail. I used the e-mail as an example of other settings I had to manually enter in again since the phone forgot them.
    As for the text messages, I got them back. Yay. The solution was to restore from a previous backup. The problem I had was that the phone registered as a new phone, instead of restoring from my backup.
    For those that may run into this problem, connect your iphone, then use the restore button under the update button. It says that it will restore the phone to factory settings. Thats fine, dont let it bother you. you will get the chance to restore from back up. Mine downloaded something then reset and gave me the option to restore. I did and I got back all of my text messages.

  • Facetime not activating, getting SMS messages from +447786205094

    I bought my iPhone 4 unlocked in UK, but am working in Canada, so have a Canadian sim in it, every time I turn face time on it says waiting for activation... And I get SMS messages from + 447786205094, containing what looks like the information needed by the phone to activate face time, but it doesn't activate! Anyone have any idea what I can do to activate face time?
    Thanks
    Ben

    Hi there, there appears to be a problem with activating unlocked UK phones in other countries.

    I'm afraid I don't know how to fix it though, but you may want to keep an eye on the other posts running on this forum just in case something else pops up.
    As far as I'm aware it's not possible to manually activate facetime - The activation is by text message that are sent without the users knowing.
    Good luck.

  • I set up my sons ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my iphone

    I set up my son's ipod touch with my apple id and he is getting text messages from my Iphone.  How can I set up Imessage from his email account instead of my email/phone #?

    You can go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive and uncheck the phone number and delete your email address. You can add his own email address. The only way to delete the phone number is to use an Apple ID for Messages that is not associated with an iPhone. You can change it by Go to Settings>Messages>Apple ID and sign out and sign in with the other ID

    This has nothing to do with iPhoto. When I have this type of problem I call tech support for my email service. They probably are the only source of the correct settings

  • I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple About this mac overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

    What do I do? I have already downloaded OS Yosemite (it says so on my Apple>About this mac>overview) but now I keep getting a message from "install Yosemite" that keeps asking me to install Yosemite again and won't go away.

    I have the same issue. My computer has also slowed down. I hope this isn't a malware. I haven't input my password into it, and dont know what I did to turn this on.
    Hope someone else can give some insight

  • When I sync my Ipad and Mac I get a message from itunes to allow access with an email address I no longer use and asks for a password I don't know how do I remove the old email

    Whwn I sync my ipad I get a message from itunes to sign into my account but the email used is not my email and I don't have a password for the email it used - how do I get rid of the email address for itunes on the ipad - itunes on the Mac work just fine - but not on the ipad

    Hello Tonchee
    If you are seeing an Apple ID that is not yours, then you have purchased content on your iPad that is tied to that Apple ID. You would need to know that password or remove the content that is associated with that Apple ID.

  • HT201210 I am trying to restore my I phone but I get a message that says "The Iphone "Iphone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found. Now my phone won't work at all. The only screen image it shows is the Itunes icon and a USB cable.

    I am trying to restore my Iphone but get a message that reads "The Iphone "Iphone" could not be restored. The device cannot be found.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you.

    That screen indicates that you need to connect the iPhone to your computer with the USB cable and restore from iTunes

  • How can i get my messages from my old 3g to my 4s? The iphone 4s is already in use for a half year and i didn't start it from a backup

    I got a big Problem. i lost my iphone 3g a half year ago and bought myself a iphone 4s. Now my 3g found its way back to me and i need to get the messages from the 3g to my 4s.
    I didnt start the 4s with the backup. i made a new iphone so i dont have the messages from the 3g.
    is there a possibility to import the messages from the 3g to the 4s?
    Thanks for help!

    You can try this: Edit your 4S backup by adding the messages from your 3G backup. You'll need third-party software, like this:
    http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/
    Caution: Copy your existing backup to your desktop first. One mistake & you'll make the entire backup unusable. Obviously, this is not supported by Apple, thus if you attempt to do so, you do so at your own risk.
