I have two numbers listed in my messages tab under settings. One number is checked(mine) and other is not(my sons). However when someone sends me a test it goes to both numbers. Mine and my sons. How do I delete his number so that he no longer received texts intended for me.

The best way is to not share Apple IDs but also make sure under Settings & Messages on both devices that only one phone number is checked.

I used my appleid on my husband's phone. Our contacts merged and our phones both ring and he sees my texts. I deleted his contacts from my phone and they deleted from his phone also. How can I get my appleid off his phone and restore his contacts?

Bad mistake. You shouldn't have used your Apple ID on his phone. And you made it worse because now the contacts are gone, as you deleted them from your phone, they got deleted on iCloud. Your husband should have his Apple ID.
There is really no way of recovering the deleted contacts unless you backed up using iTunes and even then you will only be able to recover those contacts that were on a call list. Read here:

I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1.

These are iMessages only.
He activated iMessage on his iPhone with the same Apple ID that you activated iMessage with on your Mac.
On your Mac, go to Messages preferences.
Under the Settings selection for your Apple ID, deselect your brother's phone number for you can be reached for messages at.

I can see other accounts on home share and play the songs, but not drag them to my account. Home share is on "on" on both accounts and both computers are authorized. What can I do to copy the song from account to account?

Why is one of my earphones working and the other is not?

why is on of my earphones working and the other is not?

Either it isn't plugged in all the way, the headphones are defective, or the headphone jack on your Touch is broken.

After I updated my 2 Iphones and one Itopuch the bluetooth on one of the phones and the Itouch will not stay on. When you go to the general settings to turn it on it shows on but the icon disapears when you go to home scree or leave general seetings.

After I updated my two Iphone 4's and my Itouch bluetooth problem occurred on two of the three devices. One of the phones and the itouch will not keep the bluetooth on. When you go to the general settings to turn it on it show on and the icon pops up but as soon as you leave the general settings the icon disappears and will not show up in the home screen. It will not pair with any devices. It will search for and find them but won't pair because the icon will not show up meaning it is off. What can i do to fix this problem that I believe was caused by the update.

Sounds like we have a similar problem. Four days ago I was playing music through a wireless Bose speaker via bluetooth and everything was fine. Then I was texting while listening and got 2 texts about the same time as I was typing one and my phone went black. I pushed the home button and it worked, went into my texts and all were there. However ever since then the time isn't right, so it can't keep time no matter what I do. The bluetooth works only at times, the wifi keeps jumping on and off, sometimes my data won't work and the other day I couldn't even turn it off, so had to wait until it died. The battery life display at that moment wasn't correct either. Took to Verizon, they couldn't help. Suggested a factory reset, which I did last night and still the same issues! One day I couldn't even text my husband on his iPhone. Just wouldn't work at all. Did everything suggest and still not good. Seems like after stalking these pages today a lot of people are having this problem in Dec/Jan and of course also I'm 3 weeks out of my 1 year warranty and so were many others, by days. Very strange, and all on the 5C. What did you do? Is it working now?

How do i delete an app from my phone?

How do I delete an App from my iphone. My iphone closes an app almost as soon as I open it, except for the apps that came with the phone. so I am going to try to solve this problem by deleting the apps.

As Lawrence Finch has already suggested, download and install another app. If that doesn't help, follow these instructions: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the app store, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1702
