You have an Apple ID signed in to all the devices which is causing this.
"When you sign in to your Apple ID with iMessage using an iPhone with iOS 6, your Apple ID is linked to your phone number. This allows you to receive iMessages sent to your phone number on other iOS 6 devices signed in to the same Apple ID."
To correct this, go into Settings > Messages > Send and Recieve at > See below...
On your phone: Uncheck your son's phone number
On his phone: Uncheck your phone number.
On iPad: Uncheck both phone numbers to prevent iMessages sent to either number to also appear on the iPad.
If you have email addresses associated here, then you may have to remove those as well, although you won't be able to remove the Apple ID that you're using. Any iMessage sent to that Apple ID will arrive at all the device unless you sign out of that Apple ID and create/use another Apple ID for that device.

  • I am just trying to restore my photos from my pc to my phone that i have backed up already on my icloud but do not know how to do this?

    I am just trying to restore my photos from my pc to my phone that i have backed up already on my icloud but do not know how to do this on my iphone 6 ios 8.3

    If the iPhone is still working and the photos are in the Camera Roll (i.e., taken on the iPhone) then, when you connect the iPhone to your PC, it should be recognized as a Camera and Windows should start AutoPlay.

  • I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    I recently changed my apple ID but my previous apple ID is associated with my icloud account. I'm setting up my new iphone 6 and cannot complete the set up until I can sync my icloud account. Does anyone know how to change the icloud id?

    Do the following:
    Make sure you are signed into iMessage and FaceTime with your current ID.  If they are signed into the old ID, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with your current ID.
    Then temporarily recreate the old ID by going 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.  (You should not have to verify the old email account so it doesn’t matter if you no longer have access to it.)  Now go to Settings>iCloud, turn off Find My iPhone and enter your current password when prompted (even though it prompts you for the password for your old ID).  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Sign Out and choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign back in with your current iCloud ID and password (your data will download back to your phone).

  • Hello, I just activated another iphone4 on my account and it is now linked to my other iphone.  If I delete a contact on one it deletes it on the other.  Does anyone know how to fix this?

    Hello, I just activated another iphone4 on my account and it is now linked to my other iphone.  If I delete a contact on one it deletes it on the other.  Does anyone know how to fix?

    One of the phones can keep the current account; on the one that will be moving go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud.  The other phone will not be effected by this.)  Next, set up a new iCloud account on this phone using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.  At this point you will have two different iCloud accounts, one for each phone, with identical data on them.
    You will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the unwanted data (such as deleting the original phone's contacts from the new phone's account, and vice versa).  These changes will be reflected on each phone.

  • I got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this?

    i got new iphone and when i connect it to my pc, it lost all my current data and replaced it with the backup on my computer, which is from april. so i have lost all my calendar information and schedule. does anyone know how i can reverse this and get my information back?

    Every backup replaces the old one, so, unless you included the backup folder in your computer backup routine, you can't get back your calendar info.
    The only time iTunes will not replace a backup is, when you use it to restore from, this one will stay in the backup list in iTunes.

    When you jar or drop a hard drive when it's operating the heads strike the platters and ruin sectors and the data on them.
    Your getting the spinning wheel because the OS has been damaged and/or quite possibly the drive.
    You'll first have to determine if it's a hardware issue
    Do #3 Hardware Test and #5 Disk Utlity Repair Disk/Permissions here (check the SMART status)
    Step by Step to fix your Mac
    If the drive is fine and you don't have a recent copy of your data off the machine then also do this
    Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    Then proceed with fixing the damaged software, likley by #8 your problem will be fixed.

  • I synced my iphone to my computer and all my music on my itunes on the computer is gone does anyone know how to get it back?

    I synced my iphone to my computer and all my music on my itunes on the computer is gone does anyone know how to get it back?

    They should be in the Photos app (help on syncing photos is here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236) - if they don't show then check that Settings > General > About > Photos isn't 0, and you could also try a reset to see if they show after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Waited a week to restore new iPhone.. Went to concert and took videos, then restored my iPhone. I didn't think I would lose everything from before I restored it.. Anyone know how to get that back?? iCloud didn't back it up..

    so I got a new iPhone and I had went to a concert and took a bunch of pics and videos, even met the band.. Well I went home and when I plugged in my phone it had restored it back to what was on my previous iPhone And I lost everything I just took.. Does anyone know how I can somehow get all that back?? iCloud didn't back it up I checked

    The only way to get everything back is by restoring a backup. If you didn't have a backup, there is nothing that you can do to recover your lost documents and your notes. If you have a backup restore the backup in order to recover your data. Purchased apps can always be downloaded again as long as you use the same Apple ID that you bought them with, but data can only be recovered from a backup or if you have copies of the documents and notes on a computer.

  • TS3276 After I started using MAIL in my Iphone, I could no longer receive or send e-mails in MAIL on my MacBook. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I have checked all of the things E-mail troubleshooting has told me...It simply isn't working on my computer as a result of putting my e-mails on my Iphone...I'd like to know how to receive the e-mails in both places, whether I open them or not, and also how to send from both places (whichever I'd like) Please help!!

    Email provider is?

    If POP3, is email configured to remain on the server?
    You need to provide more info.

  • Does anyone know how to change apple id on iphone 4?

    During the upgrade to iOS5, I set up my iCloud account with one apple id.  However, I would like to using another apple id I use with iTune but I can't seem to change the setting on my iPhone4.  When I go to setting, iCloud, account, and try to click on the Apple ID, it is greyed out.  Is it possible to change the iCloud account once set up on iphone?

    Yes - for those with this problem on the Mac, I fixed mine today. (Merry Christmas!)
    1. My situation was interesting. I was logged into the App Store OK as me (you can do this despite the greying out if you go to the STORE menu in the App Store app). This meant that my "Purchases" not yet installed on this particular Macbook Pro were available to install. (It doesn't ask for the password again.) However, my "UPDATES" for software already installed brought up the sign-in dialog box with the previous user's account name greyed out (Admin IT people from my workplace).
    2. The two available updates that this clearly affected were iMovie and iPhoto in my case. I therefore followed the advice here about removing the receipt identifying the previous 'purchaser' of these apps. Note: you do that via the PACKAGE of each affected application itself (using the finder) - see the instructions.
    THAT FIXED IT.
    3. I don't know if this is relevant, but just in case: my Mac had a separate account for our IT dept called 'Administrator'. In System Preferences under USERS & GROUPS, I selected that account and changed its Apple ID (in fact none was set at all - so it might not have been relevant) to my own Apple ID. (No password required here, so not risky on its own I think.) I don't know that this was relevant, and once I had done step 2 above (which I actually did after this one) I simply deleted my ID again from that Administrator account.
    Good luck!

  • HT4528 My iphone 4s screen is frozen, I can not shut the phone off, can not answer calls, does anyone know how to unfreeze it?

    My iphone 4s screen is frozen, i can not shut the phone off, can not answer the phone or texts,

    Reset, hold both home and power buttons until the iPhone begins to start. Usually takes about 10 seconds. Just keep holding both buttons.
