I just downloaded the latest software to my iPhone 4 and I am now getting my sons messages.  he too uses the same itunes and pc to sync, how do I stop this?

Hi, I downloaded the latest software for my iphone 4 and this morning I received text messages that were meant for my son.  we both use the same PC and iTunes for our iphones, so will he get a copy of my messages too when he upgrades his software?
does anyone know how to stop this?  or how it happened in the first place?
thanks
Cathy

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 just upgraded to the latest software for my pages.  When I opened an old document it stripped out all the images I had in my tables.  How do I get them back

    Don't save. Close the documents.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 will damage/alter older files, something Apple didn't tell its users.
    Pages 5 is a severely stripped down version with over 90+ features removed.
    We recommend trashing/archiving Pages 5 after Exporting any files you may have saved back to Pages '09.
    Also rate/review Pages 5 in the App store.

  • HT4972 I have done all the steps required to update IOS5 to my iPhone. It did not update automatically.  It just updates to 4.2.1 which says is the latest software for my iPhone. Is there any other way to update my iPhone to IOS5?

  • My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"

    My iTunes library will not completely sync to neither my iPad nor my iPhone -- both are completely updated with the latest software. What do I have to do?? When I try to do the "autofill" option when connected to iTunes it says "no songs can be copied"...I literally bought some of these songs yesterday on my iPhone and now I can't sync them to my iPad. What is this issue? Usually I would just have to plug either device into iTunes and everything would sync, now nothing new syncs.

    On your iPad tap Settings > Store
    Switch Books off then back on then reset your iPad.
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

  • It seems after the latest software update, my iphone 4 has issues with the phone and voicemail locking up as well as opening random apps.  Any thoughts?

    Hi clintfromid,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I would recommend closing all your apps and restarting and maybe resetting as good initial troubleshooting steps for this:
    iOS: Force an app to close

    Place your iPhone in manual recovery mode or DFU mode.
    1. Connect your iPhone
    2. Open iTunes
    3. Hold down the home and power button for 8 seconds. After 8 sec, let go of the power but still hold down the home button until iTunes recognize your phone in recovery mode

  • What is the latest software version for iphone 3g?

    What is the latest software version update available for the iphone 3g model?

    I can see that this version doesn't have personal hotspot icon like the 4 handsets do, but would you know if there is a way to connect the handset with this version to a pc to be able to use the handset as a modem?

    I have recently switched from MobileMe to iCloud and I now getting an error message in iCal :
    "The server is currently unable to handle the connection due to a temporary overloading or maintenance of the server. If this continues you should contact the server administrator.
    You may try to connect to the server again or take the account offline."
    Since I am working from home and I am not on a server other than iCloud I don't understand why I am getting this message. (for 3 days). How do I fix it?

    TomCT60,
    Is your MacBook using Mac OS X 10.6.8 as indicated in your post? If so you will not be able to fully integrate with iCloud.
    iCloud and Snow Leopard, by Roger Wilmut describes what iCloud options are available for Snow Leopard.
    If you are using Lion, go to iCal>Preferences...>Accounts, and delete/re-add your iCloud CalDAV server.

  • I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad.  Somehow all of my old deleted emails (3000 ) keep showing up on my new ipad in clusters of 50.  How do I stop  this from happening.

    I recently upgraded from ipad 1 to the new ipad.  After synching my new ipad, all of my deleted emails (3000+) keep showing up on my new ipad in my mail section.  How can I stop  this?

    Thanks for responding.
    I followed that 'How-To' when I did the transfer and watched iTunes process the backup, it also showed the 'Last Backup' date correctly at the bottom of the iTunes Summary screen. I did a restore from backup to my new iPad and on checking the iPad 4 it seemed that the transfer process duly transferred my books, documents, apps etc but did not transfer my photos and videos (they are all clicked to be included in the sync).
    I have now clicked on each video title in iTunes and it tells me that it cannot locate any of the videos!
    It seems for some bizarre reason that the transfer process has transferred some of the content of my iPad 1 and deleted other content - I don't get it!
    I also have the same content (videos and photos) on my iPhone 4 and have connected that to iTunes, whereby it immediately did a backup and sync, however I still get iTunes telling me that it cannot locate the videos ... it's as though the backup that was taken does not exist - or does 'backup' not mean 'backup'?.

  • I tried to update itunes to the latest version yet it wont update. Im currently getting a error message,from  Window Installer, configuration dat for this product is corru

    I'm trying to update itunes but not very successful and im not making much progress.  Im currently getting a message on the screen from Window Installer quoting configuration data for this product is corrupt while trying

    The path 'C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple\Apple Software Update\iTunes.msi' cannot be found.  Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • In vista and firefox 4 I get an error message to sy that the latest update failed. When i check, I am told I have the latest version 4.0.1

    Vista home premium SP2 32bit

    It is possible that there is a problem with the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.
    Delete the files sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox Profile Folder.

    If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.<br />
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

  • TS1702 The iMovie app doesn't upgrade, over a month now with multiple attempts. Can't use the app as Wendy

    Is it just me or are you experiencing the same issues?

    This discussion will explain in great detail how you can sync to a new computer. Give it a look. After you get the new computer set up to sync, you can try downloading iMovie in iTunes and then sync it to the iPad.
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3305461
    Now that we have a better idea of what you were trying to do ..... Give this a try. This has worked for a number of people that had issues with apps that would not update.
    Check iTunes and see if you have a pending or stalled download in there. If you do, finish that download or delete it if you can.
    If that doesn't work or if that was not the problem, go to Settings>Store >Apple ID, tap your ID and sign out. Then reboot the iPad, Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Then go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and sign in again and see if the apps will update.

  • My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

    My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • I sold my iphone and my ipad but i received an email stating my icloud renewal will be charged on sept 20. how do i stop this without the devices?

    How do i top my renewal for icloud storage? I have sold my iphone and ipad.

    If you have a Mac, sign into System Preferences>iCloud with your iCloud login if not already signed in. If you have Windows, download the iCloud Control Panel and sign in if not already done so. Then follow the relevant instructions here:
    iCloud: Downgrade your iCloud storage
    If for any reason you are unable to do this, try contacting iTunes Store support: go to https://getsupport.apple.com ; click 'See all products and services', then ' 'iTunes', and then 'iTunes Store', then 'Purchases, Billing & Redemption'.
    Failing all this, open the iTunes Store in iTunes, click 'Account' in the Quick Links on the right, then click 'Edit' next to 'Payment method' and remove your credit card.
