I recently got an iPhone 5 and I need some help...

Ive noticed on my siblings iPods, that it has the option of having my phone number as a way to send messages to their devices. Since those are not my devices, how can I have it that my number wont show up on their devices? My problem is, in their settings, in their iMessages, it has the option for them to use the number for my iPhone. How can I fix this? It doesnt happen with the other iPhone numbers in my house and its making me a little paranoid. Any help?

Dominator
A couple of questiosn that will help the community..
1.  Are they on the same Apple Id as you?
2.  Do they have their own cell fon numbers?
3.  Are they iPods or iPads.. just double checking
4.  Are the  iPods/Ipads wifi only devices?
cheers

  • I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    I have only recently got my iphone, and the screen won't rotate in Safari, the ipod, photos or messaging. It works fine in games (eg Doodle Jump). The screen portrait lock is off, and i have tried turning it on and off and updating it. Why wont it rotate?

    Next step is to Restore it in iTunes from your backup. If that does not work they try Restoring it as a new phone. If still no go it is a hardware failure and you will need to get it serviced.
    And you are not showing the hardware lock icon on the top right of the home screen?

  • I purchased songs from 2 different computers using itunes with the same apple id. I had 1 iPod I used for these but I just recently got an iPhone and I was wondering why it wasn't letting me put my purchased songs on my iPhone?

    You can transfer iTunes content from an iTunes library on a single computer only.
    Since these songs were purchased with the same iTunes account, you can download the song that is not in your iTunes library on the computer you will be syncing your iPhone with. Or you can download the song or songs direct on your iPhone.

    If you set up Find my iPhone, go to http://icloud.com and track it. If you didn't set up this service then it's lost for good.

  • Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. What Do I do?

    Hi..I have just recently got an iPhone and I had installed some apps already but now when I try to install and download any apps it just sits there on "waiting" and will not download.. Im able to erase it but no apps will download now. I have tried logging out of the app store but it still did the same thing. I also tried resetting it and that didn't work either. I've tried everything I can think of but still just sits there saying "waiting." what do I do?

    - Maybe here:

    - Try redownloading the app directly to the iPod by:

    I recntly got a iphone and i gave my daughter my ipod and we only have one apple id, is there a way to seperate the two so I don't see her instant messages? or do we have to have seperate apple IDs?

    Create a second Apple ID for a separate iCloud account. You can still share the Apple ID for iTunes purchases, but separate for the cloud.

  • HT1695 i've recently got an iphone, and i did the starting questions i've connected to the wifi, but i won't activate. it also won't connect to itunes, please help

    i got an iphone the other day and when i started it up i answered the language questions and i've connected it to the wifi. just when i click next it wont activate, it's unable to connect to itunes as well, please help me

    First things first, You need to update your wifi security settings.  If its set at WEP, then change to WAP2.  If its already set that way, then you need to make sure iTunes is up to date on your computer, then update your software.

  • TS3694 i broke my screen and i cant type anything and i have alot of private stuff on there is it possible if you can get in the iphone and give me my stuff cause i got another iphone and i need my private stuff please

  • My dad has a LOT of music on his iTunes account. Is there a way I can upload some of his music into my iPhone? Same goes for my fiancé. He just got an iPhone and I have some music on my account. Instead of making double purchases on music can he use mine?

    I have an iPhone 5s. Just updated from my 5. My husband just got an iPhone. I purchased music over the last year. 
    He was told to create his own account we don't get each others messages. But how can he upload music I already purchased?
    Also my dads got over a thousand songs on his iTunes account. Is there a way to share? I get the whole stealing music stuff but this is purchased music I'm talking about. He paid for albums of music. Mine are random songs and a few albums.
    And last. I have CDs I purchased. How do I put them onto my iTunes account. My dad set it up for me two years ago (3 phones ago) n I'm not
    Sure how to do this. My original computer n then my laptop both crashed so I don't have access
    To any of it anymore.

  • Hello I have a few questions and I need some help with my iTunes and  iPod

    Hello iTunes people.
    I have a little problem with my iTunes. I actually almost know nothing about iTunes really. But I have had a 80 gig ipod .. ummm I think it's a iPod classic maybe. A long time ago I just downloaded iTunes. I think one of my tech friends already had put the program onto my PC so I did not even have to download it. Anyways I put my life's collection of mp3's onto iTunes and then syncs it with my iPod and it worked great. Here is my problem. I just recently bought a MONSTER PC. I have lovingly named it " ED209 " I downloaded iTunes for it and I have the most up to date version.8.1.1 is the most current version correct? Ok well here is my problem. What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library. I DO NOT want to import anything from the library or playlist or whatever you call it ONTO the iPod because there is nothing in the library. Now this is were its gets weird and possibly silly. A person I was chatting with on Facebook sort of made fun of me because she was like " Dude! Just push " Sync " But the reason I am paranoid is because THIS is the message I get....
    " The iPod " Aaron's iPod " is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this ipod and sync with this iTunes library? "
    HOLY COW!! That girl on Facebook was making fun of me but READ THAT. That exactly says ERASE the "iPod" and Sync with THIS library " It does not say put what is ON the iPod into THIS Library. It says it the other way around. Clear as day it says it will ERASE the " Ipod " it does not say " Fill the library with whats on your iPod "
    Do I all of a sudden not understand English or something???? I know how to freaking read and from what it says is sounds a 100 percent like " we will ERASE youe iPod and put everything from this playist or library onto your iPiod" But there is NOTHING in my library? Am I mentally challenged or what?
    I hope someone can help me here and I have another request. Could someone just tell me all the cool things I can do with iTunes and my iPod? I am trying to read the help files and the FAQ and whatever else Apple provides you with but it has SO MUCH crap that looks usless. I find myself reading a whole paragraph about some simple little section of s section of a section of a feature! Know what I mean. Someone give me the long and short of the neat things I can do with this stuff. I have windows Vista with a wicked computer that has like 6 gigs of ram and m iPod is a 80 GB Classic
    help !!
    PROTEUS

    *What I want to do is I want to put everything that is currently on my iPod ONTO the iTunes library.*
    1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. iTunes will only let you copy your purchases directly from an iPod to the computer, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads and including iTunes purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • I'm not that good with computers and I need some help....

    I downloaded Adobe Reader 9.3.3 for windows 7 so I could print out sheet music (pdf file). When I try to open it using Adobe Reader, this pops up:
    "This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install a program or, if one is already installed, create an association for this program in the Default Programs control panel"
    and I need to know what to do, to fix it. It might be a small problem, but I have no idea what to do. so could someone tell me in detail, how I'm supposed to fix this?                                                                     thanks,

     Actually, when I open Adobe Reader (just by itself) the same message appears, and if I close the pop-up, adobe reader closes.
    That is very unusual - it appears that the Reader is not installed correctly.  Can you open Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs, and uninstall Adobe Reader.  Then reinstall it from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.3.3/enu/AdbeRdr933_en_US.exe

  • I just recently got an iPhone and I'm trying to download the apps from the App Store that are free but it keeps asking me for my payment info. Is there anyway to get passed this?

    Please help!

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is  critical. Note that you can do this only when creating a new Apple ID. You cannot use an existing ID. 
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free apps without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • I am desperate and seriously need some help - iPhone tracking.

    I’m really hoping one of you can help me.
    Long story short – my daughter aged 6 was taken from me last week because my violent rapist ex husband told Children’s Services that I tried to drive her off a cliff and am a serious suicide risk, I abuse her, I neglect her, I’m an alcoholic, anorexic, complete psycho nutjob etc etc, really nasty stuff. I am desperately trying to get her back. I need to prove I was not at this cliff & in fact have never been there, nor have I ever been stalking his house as he claims (& was awarded a 500m exclusion zone from his house so I can’t get my daughter if I need to as well as a ban on any telephone or postal contact between my daughter & I). I can prove my phone has been used every day for the last 2 years with my bills and if I can prove that in that time I have never been to this cliff, among a million other things I need to try & prove by Wednesday, I have a fighting chance of getting her back. I was allowed supervised visitation today & she’s scared & confused, massively regressed, looking physically neglected, she was withdrawn & was trying to tell me something but being supervised she couldn’t & got told off for whispering. The police are powerless in this & Children’s Services believe him over me, unless I can disprove his claims. Apparently it’s my job to prove their allegations are false rather than them having to prove they’re true!
    Anyway, I’m trying to do the tracking thing on my iPhone 4, IOS 5.1.1.
    I have got so far but I am totally stuck now. Nothing I do seems to work & to be honest half of the instructions may as well be in Swahili to me! It’s all totally over my head & I am not techy enough to understand it, I’m literally Googling every other word to try to understand.
    Please please please can you help me???
    Though I would never normally do it with complete strangers is there any way anyone would be willing to do a remote access thing on my laptop to get the proof I need? Can anyone give me an idiots guide to it? I’m not on Skype or chat or anything but I will get on to it if it helps? Can I ring someone & talk me through it? Can anyone please do anything at all to help my daughter & I??
    I’ve been on http://petewarden.github.com/iPhoneTracker/ & downloaded the app. I’ve also downloaded all the suggested programmes on http://www.26horas.com/apple-device-tracker/ as well as HDXHex thingy, I follow the instructions as far as I can but then I keep getting errors about SQLite3 databases & modules not being found... I have no idea what any of this means but I have heard this technology is no longer valid? Apple has changed it or something? Apparently people whining about big brother & invasion of privacy has made apple change everything & clam up about tracking, but apparently there is still a way, just no one seems to know how!
    Please can you help me? Please, if there is any way you can help me I would owe mine and my daughter’s lives to you. I am desperate and literally on my knees begging you to help me, please. I’ll pay for your time, but please can you help me?

    #1. The iPhone "tracker" you're referring to has already been completely debunked. That is NOT what the data was. In addition, Apple update that "fixed" the percieved problem, so the data is no longer accessible.
    The only way to "prove" what you want to is get a court order for your cellular company to pull the records for the location of your phone over time from their system.
    They know exactly where you phone is at any given moment, but that is not going to be something they will give you just for the asking.
    Get a lawyer.  If you had one, they would have already advised you of this. If you can't afford one, call legal aid.
