I have 2 iphones and don't want to share i messaging

Help, my nephew and I share an apple account. Tonight I turned on my imessaging and started receiving his texts(Imessages) can I stop this somehow without turning off my I messaging capability on my phone?

You can share an iTunes account/Apple ID for purchases, however to prevent what you are seeing, you need to create separate iCloud accounts. See this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4436 for a little help on that. For now, go to Settings, Messages, and make sure the phone number is the one for starting and receiving messages. This would need to be done on both phones.

How can i delete a number of emails at once? I have a backlog and don't want to go through them all.

No.
With an Exchange or IMAP account you can delete the messages with the email client used on your computer or via webmail access for the account - all server stored mailboxes are kept synchronized with the server with each email client used to access the account.
Not possible with an antiquated POP account.

I need to make my own apple id because I'm older and don't want to share everything with my family but if I do, how do I get all the music and everything I bought?

I don't want to share my apple id with my family anymore but I own over 2000 songs and a few other things I bought so would I be able to get them if I got a new apple id?

You don't. Everythng downloaded with one Apple ID can not be transfered to another Apple ID. So you would need to buy it a second time. This is one of the Pit Falls of the whole Download only model.
That is why I refuse to buy things like music or movies that are tied to a specific User Name, ID.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

I have multiple devices and don't want everything shared between them. How do I fix that?

I have and iphone and three ipods in my home. They are all connected to my apple id and everything ends up being shared between them. Can I make seperate accounts for each of them, but have them all attached to my credit card? Thanks for any help!!!

If you have a Mac (don't know about Windows), you can disable automatic syncing in iTunes > Preferences > Devices:
That way, you can manually do it by plugging in the device and launching iTunes.

I have an iPhone4 and don't want to upgrade to iOS6, can I still update all my apps?

I have an iPhone4 but I don't want to upgrade to iOS6. I have iOS5 on my phone now. Is it okay to continue updating all my apps, even those apps formatted for the new iOS6? If I continue updating all my apps, will that alter my iOS5 peformance on the iPhone4?

You should be able to update your app... there are a very few selected apps that require a higher iOS. I so far had 1 app the required 5.1 on my iPad and im still on 5.01.

How can I silence the ringer on my iPhone4 when I have a call and don't want to answer it? The only thing my phone will let me do is "slide to answer", and there is no option showing to no answer when I get call.

How can I delete all the messages in my inbox on my iPhone 4?

HT204382 How do you delete the format after you have downloaded it and don't want it anymore?

I downloaded Flip4Mac onto my iMac, hoping to use it for a device, but it didn't work. Now I want to delete it, but I don't know how so how can I do it and I don/t want it to take up any space.

Look in your Applications Folder and trash it.

I didn't/wouldn't have purchased this and don't want it. Why was I charged?

I was charged for an App that I wouldn't have ordered as I'm by no means, an artist. The app was called "ArtRage," and I found it after reviewing my Checking Account, and have just seen it in my "Purchased from Apple" Apps. I downloaded it, and after running it, it's something that maybe a third-grader would use (My youngest Daughter is 38) and there is no way I would have purchased this thing for $4.95!
How can I rid myself of this charge? I know I can stop it with my bank, but that does not alleviate the problem of someone possibly charging something else since they got away with this charge. ... And yes, I have changed my AppleID Password!

When I search the App Store on my iPad for ArtRage I see the $4.95 fee shown. If you downloaded the app you agreed to pay the fee. The only way to download the app would be to tap on the $4.95 button then confirm that you want to purchase the app. That completes the purchase. According to the App Store Terms of Service "You agree that you will pay for all products you purchase..." and "All sales of products are final." You can read the terms of service at this link:

Hopefully you can get your money refunded.

During setup sync tells me my email address is already in use and won't let me go any further. I only have one email and don't want to setup another. How do I setup sync?

I can log into the sync account management with this URL https://account.services.mozilla.com and nothing is listed. When I go to the Sync tab within the preferences window, only two options are listed: Setup a New Account and or Pair a Device. Setting up an account doesn't allow me to use the email address I would like to, saying the email is already in use. I can't "pair a device" because the computer I'm trying to "pair" is my main computer (laptop). I used sync way back when it first came out and it seems as though there are new requirements (legal and otherwise) requiring me to setup a new account. How do I setup and use sync with the email address I have in place already without having to use another email address?

There was a major change in Sync services back in Dec 2010, but nothing w9th regards to the Username / email address and Password since that time.
Use this to reset your Sync Password if you can't remember it, for an existing account. <br />

What ever you may have stored on the Sync Server will be erased so you will be starting with with new data in the system.

Each device is different and each will only sync what you select to sync.

I have 4s iphone and it will not always send text message

My 4s will not send text message. Sometimes it works fine then others it goes about 2/3rds the way on bar then stops. It may send much later.

Try resetting the network settings, Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings.

HT1296 My husband and I each just got iPhones. We also just got an iPad. We've each created our individual Apple id's. We don't want to share contact between our iPhones, but would like to combine contacts on the iPad. I'm looking for suggestions.

My husband and I each just got iPhone 4S. We also purchased the New iPad.
We've set up individual iCloud and iTunes accounts.
We each have contacts that we don't want to share between our iPhones, but would like to share on the iPad.
I'm seeking help as to how to sync these accounts properly to obtain this goal.

If you intend to "share" the iPad, that's not gonna work if you both have separate Apple ID's & iTunes accounts. Like iPhone, iPad is not presently designed to be shared like a computer. Confirm if this is your intent.

I have 2 iphone 5s. How do I share music without merging contact info

My wife and I each have an iphone 5. I want to share my music with her. I have itunes match. She has her own apple id.

If you want to use your current subscription to itunes match, then her phone will have to use the same apple id to share that libray. But there are restrictions with associating a device to another apple id.

You can use home sharing, but her phone will have to set up with the apple id that sharing is set up with. This is great way of sharing, but only accessible from with the local network (your home wifi).

Really the best solution in my opinion, which will cause the least amount of problems, is to just import the same music into her itune library on the computer. This way she can use her own id on her phone, and just sync what she wants to, when she wants to.

I have an iPhone and an iPod with the same iCloud/Apple ID but I don't want have the same stuff on them?

Ok so I have an iPhone and an iPod which share the same iCloud/appleID. I did this today when I got my new iPhone I put in my iCloud details which put everything I had on my iPod onto my iPhone(I was unaware this happened). I'm happy with all the apps added straight on and my contacts added but I don't want to have all my photos from my iPod on my iPhone. I want to keep the photos from my iPod on my iPod and when I take pictures on my iPhone they stay just on my iPhone. I'm wondering if this is possible as it's with the iCloud? I have previous synced my iPod on my laptop when adding music ect but I don't know if that effects iCloud I don't really know but I'm worried if I delete all the pictures off of my iPhone then sync that then sync my iPod into the same laptop will it wipe those pictures since there off my iPhone? I don't really get how all this works so help is very much appreciated!! And I hope what I've wrote makes sense to someone!

Welcome to the Apple Community lizzie.
If you don't want photo stream to sync your photos between devices go settings > iCloud and uncheck photos, do this on each device.
