HT5538 We have 4 Iphones and one Apple id (used for ITunes). Since upgrading IOS to 6,

We have 4 Iphones and one Apple id (used for ITunes). Since upgrading to  IOS  6 on my phone, I now receive ALL the text messages destined to the others! What should I do to get back to "normal", without opting out of Imessages or FaceTime?

I'm afraid I may abuse of your generosity here, but I do have another question (that's the reason for the mistaken category of the post you answered). My daughter just arrived in her International Student residence in Europe yesterday, where internet's only available by Ethernet. She wishes to reverse-tether, from her PowerBook to her Iphone (because of the cost of using Internet on her phone over there). I found some instructions about Internet Sharing, in System Prefs, etc. "From: Ethernet, To: Airport" Enable Internet Sharing, and all...She did everything, by the book (or so, she thinks) but nothing shows on her Iphone Wi-Fi Settings when she tries to connect... I also read that it could be done with a Bluetooth PAN, but I got lost, as I tried to follow the instructions here at home, after pairing computer and Phone, with a "rude" message appearing on my phone telling me to "forget that device". Can you help?

  • Iphone and 3 ipods not registering with iTunes since upgrading to version 10.4!

    Good day and thanks for your help.  AppleCare has been unable to solve or identify my problem.  Since upgrading to version 10.4 I am unable to have my iphone or ipods be recognized in iTunes.  I have deleted and reloaded iTunes four times, as instructed by my AppleCare tech.  I still cannot see any devices in iTunes.  I am running a Dell Latitude D620 with XP, Service Pack 3.  My device manager shows all USB ports are active and working properly.  I have tried multiple Apple sync cables.  My phone and cable work fine on my wife's laptop, so I do not believe it is a hardware issue with the cable or phone.
    I heard a rumor that I need USB 2.0 ports for version 10.4.  I believe my ports are version 1.  Is this true?  If so, how can I find and reinstall iTunes version 10.3.
    Thank you for your time and assistance.  I am extremely frustrated by this process!

    I have old email address's I used for iTune music purchases and cannot change password on several old accounts. Now some of the music I purchased I can not download and authorize it on my device. What can I do password security does not match my birthdate on two of the accounts. Apple can not send me email with a password authorization on several current accounts that I have with them. How can I contact Apple with this annoying problem I can not fix.

    settings - app/iTunes store - sign out and sign back in with your new id.
    Note - if your older apps needs an update it will use your old apple id and password, as Apps are tied to the apple id that was used to purchase it.
    You can't merge apple id.

  • Hi. I currently have two iPad's and two iPhones and one Apple ID, I want to keep the current Apple ID on one iPad and one phone and set up another Apple ID for the second iPad and iPhone, is this possible?

    Hi. I currently have both my iPhone's and iPad's on one Apple ID and I was hoping to use one iPhone and one iPad with another Apple ID, does anyone know if this is possible and how I would do it.
    Thanks TMM39

    You should be able to. The only hiccup will be that any apps that you have purchased with the older ID you will have to repurchase with the newer ID to be able to keep using them.
    Though of course this actually depends on how you plan to use the IDs. For example, I had an Apple ID through iTunes a few years before I opened a .Mac/MobileMe account (what iCloud is now in case you are new to Apple). Thus, my iPhone and iPad actually have two IDs on them, one for iTunes/App Store, and one for anything associated with iCloud. I've never really had any problems assoctiated with having two IDs on one device. Usually just an extra step when I get a new device or have to restore either of them for some reason. Though I understand that this is probably not what you plan on doing, I thought I would use it as an example of what the IDs are really associted with on the devices.

  • I have two iCloud accounts, my original one that I used for iTunes years ago which has all my content, apps etc and a mobile me one which I got when I set mobile me up which has all my settings etc, this is causing problems, can I merge them?

    As I said I have two iCloud accounts, both do different things, i.e. my original iTunes account has all my app's and music etc, and then also the account which was set up for me when I set up a 'mobile me' account has all my calendars, contacts, settings etc, how can I merge these or even easily set my settings etc to go to my older iTunes account, I have tried to set up family sharing and all I can share is my calendars not my apps because they are with another iTunes account.
    I am also a little concerned that my fire vault has just set its self up using the mobile me account, if I was to get rid of an account I imagine this would be the easiest one to ditch then what would happen to all my encrypted data?
    Many thanks for your help.
    NIK

    I am logged into the same things on both my iPhone and my MacBook Pro, except for mail. I use a gmail IMAP account and everything there already works on both machines. The iCloud account on my iPhone uses one Apple ID and the one on the Mac uses the second Apple ID.

  • IMessage trouble with two iPhones and one Apple ID

    Hi,
    I'm having trouble with iMessage after updating both of my iPhones to iOS 6 and not being able to use iMessage with one of the phones.
    Some background:
    -I have two iPhones, one on AT&T in the U.S., and one on NTT DoCoMo in Japan, both with separate phone numbers, using the same Apple ID.
    -The AT&T iPhone is a 4, the NTT is an unlocked 4S.
    On my 4 (AT&T), on iMessage, I have the option to send/receive as my U.S. phone number and my Apple ID. Works just like before updating.
    On my 4S (NTT), on iMessage, before I updated, I was able to send/receive using my Japanese number and Apple ID. After updating, I have the option to send/receive using my U.S. number and Apple ID. My Japanese number is greyed out and I cannot select it. When I turn on iMessage, it says "Waiting for activation..." and does not do anything. Turning iMessage off and on, some times I get an error message staying that activation cannot be completed.
    I have rebooted the phone multiple times, turned on/off iMessage and FaceTime, turned the Set Date & Time Automatically option on/off, and reset Network settings several times. Nothing works; iMessage will not activate on my NTT 4S. Please help!

    Finally resolved this issue after months of off and on troubleshooting.
    I have no idea exactly which steps "fixed" the issue, but here's what I did. None of the basic troubleshooting steps that are on here worked for me, and this is including restoring both phones in iTunes as a "last resort" step that two Apple technical service representatives suggested.
    I found a post on here from user "tungddao" who suggested:
    "Turn on iMessage then make a phone call to : 011+445773142076
                 With Facetime & Siri: 011+447786205094"
    I called both numbers with my NTT 4S, and both numbers hung up right away. I also texted both numbers, and the FaceTime one went through, while the iMessage number did not. I then checked my SMS blocking settings with NTT. There were no blocks, but I reset the settings to "unblock all" anyway.
    I was able to activate iMessage and FaceTime with my Apple ID and my NTT phone number. Halfway there.
    I then turned on my ATT 4, and while I could send/receive using my Apple ID and NTT phone number, the ATT number was greyed out, which was the opposite of what had happened before, when I could use the ATT number, but not the NTT one. On my NTT 4S, I could select my ATT number, but it was stuck on "verifying" for days, and I knew it wouldn't go through.
    So, I signed out of my Apple ID on iMessage and FaceTime on my ATT 4, and turned both services off. I turned on data roaming, and turned off WiFi. *This step was key to activating both services, as they would not activate over WiFi for some reason.
    I turned on iMessage and FaceTime without signing in to my Apple ID just yet. They both activated successfully, and then I signed into my Apple ID on both services, and from then on, I can use both numbers and my Apple ID on both phones! Finally!
    These are my current options:
    Phone 1 (4S on NTT): Phone 1's #, Phone 2's #, Apple ID
    Phone 2 (4 on ATT, roaming here in Japan on Softbank): Phone 2's #, Phone 1's #, Apple ID
    Hope this helps someone out there, as this issue was real frustrating for me.

  • One Apple ID used for two people's iPhones-what to do now?

    My Dad bought an iPhone 3G when it came out and, naturally, used his Apple ID for his purchases. When the 3GS came out, he upgraded and gave the 3G to my mom. Since she doesn't sync the iPhone with a computer, she's never made her own Apple ID.
    I'm wondering what the best course of action is, since she's bought quite a few apps using my Dad's account and wouldn't want to have to repurchase them if she created her own account. Is there any way to transfer certain apps?
    On that note, she recently got herself a nice MacBook Pro. Her iPhone 3G used to be synced to my Dad's old iBook, so I take it there's no way to start syncing her iPhone 3G with her MacBook Pro without restoring it? Thanks for your help!

    Authorize her computer with my dad's account meaning that she would be able to continue using his Apple ID and the apps she purchased with it
    Yes. She does not need to use his iTunes ID at all except to authorize her computer (since she purchased apps with his iTunesID).
    while syncing her iPhone with her MacBook Pro?
    Yes. In order to use the apps she purchased under his iTunes ID, on her own computer, it needs to be authorized for his iTunes ID.
    She can the use her own iTunes ID to make any further purchases.
    I guess it's nice to have that option (if I understood correctly), but I like your suggestion to just start fresh.
    She not really "starting fresh" as such.
    She is simply creating her own account and copying the stuff she purchased from the other computer.
    Authorize iTunes on her own computer then plug in the iPhone and File -> Transfer purchases to get these itmes into her own iTunes.

  • IPhone 3G Won't Back Up In iTunes Since Upgrading From XP to Windows 7

    I currently own an iPhone 3G which has worked perfectly and synchronized with iTunes for the past 18 months. I recently upgraded my OS on my PC from Windows XP to Windows 7. Obviously i had to wipe the hard drives and re install everything. Since then my iPhone will not back up with iTunes. iTunes recognises my phone and says it is up to date but when it goes to 'Back Up iPhone' it just seems to freeze after about 10 minutes and nothing happens apart from iTunes freezing too.
    It came up with a message the first time i plugged it in after the upgrade which said 'This iPhone is already Synched with a different library' it then asked me if i wanted to synch it with the new library or merge them. I opted to synch it with the new library and ever since then it has never once worked in over 3 months.
    Can anyone help please ??

    I had sync issues with my iphone and itunes on Win7. Seemed to last for ever, I ended up buying a new sync cable and all my problems seemed to go away.
    The other thing you can try is to launch itunes as administrator if that does work try launching itunes in XP compatibility mode. Both of those worked for me off and on as I struggled with this issue until I bought the new cable.

  • I have two iphones and one Apple id. Pretty confused how to have different content on them.

    Hi All,
    I have my old iphone 5s and recently I bought a iphone 6. What I want to do is to use same apple id on both of them, but I want to have different apps and media on them.
    I plan to use the iphone 5s as my 2nd phone, so I do not need same apps/music/movies/books on them. Any tips how I can keep them different? Every time I sync I have to manually select the books and music I want to have on my phone. I want to create two different profiles for my phones which will have different apps, books and music.
    I do not use icloud, so that is not a problem for me.
    Thanks,
    Sas

  • Can't send email from Apple mail using hosted exchange since upgrade to 10.5.8

    I've got a client who just upgraded to 10.8. Since doing so he can recieve email but not send it for a hosted exchange account. He can send and recieve from his personal pop account. It is a wireless connection.  I have tried the following without any success:
    1. Verified all the config info was correct (server password etc) - no change
    2. Deleted and re-added the account - same result
    3. Deleted keychain data and readed the account - no change.
    4. Ran disk utility (why not?) - no change
    5. Removed an internet sharing app called open garden - no change
    6. Installed 10.8.1 - no change
    After trying all of this when we start mail everything looks good and then the outbound server abruptly goes "offline". The exchange host says there are no issues on their end. Internet works too. Email delivers/sends to his iPhone, iPad, and a home iMac that was also upgraded to 10.8.
    Anyone with other ideas? This one has me stumped.
    -Jonathan

    I have the exact same issue, but with a standard IMAP account and SMTP.  My iPhone can send out, using the EXACT same settings, from the exact same WiFi connection...but the 10.8 MacBook cannot send at all.  The only account I can send out on is my iCloud account. 
    I have also tried all the steps above...no luck.
    I have also turned off all network filters and firewalls...no luck.  (And as I said above, my iPhone is on the exact same WiFi connection and using the exact same settings, and it can send fine.)
    Other messages I've found via Google have suggested simply forcing the SMTP server to use Port 25, but that didn't work for me either.
