You linked them both to the same Apple ID and thence to the same iCloud account.  Don't do that.

  • How do you stop audiobooks from syncing to apple tv?

    I'm syncing to my apple tv and I do not see an option to stop audio books from syncing.  How do I stop audiobooks from syncing to my apple tv?  Thanks!

    Open iTunes.
    Select the device.
    Select the content desired to sync.
    Sync.
    FYI, only the 1st Gen ATV has any content sync to it.  The 2nd and 3rd Gen ATVs have no internal storage to store content.

  • I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page, instead of my home page. How do I change that? Thanks

    I downloaded Firefox 4.01 and now when i open a new tab, i get a blank page instead of my home page. How can I default to my home page when a new tab opens?

    You can do that by using an add-on such as:
    * NewTabURL - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/newtaburl
    * New Tab Homepage - https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/new-tab-homepage
    Another way of opening the home page in a new tab is to middle click on the home button in the navigation toolbar.

  • How do you stop ITunes from syncing automatically every time I attach a device?

    I have the option box checked that is supposed to stop devices from syncing automatically, yet ITunes STILL insists on syncing the devices automatically and overwriting gigabytes of data.  I've had to spend hours finding everything again after ITunes has synced when I don't want it to.  Needless to say, this is INCREDIBLY frustrating.

    I no longer need an answer to this question. I didn't directly solve the problem but it solved when I was fixing something else.

  • How do i stop someone from hacking our accounts and we never know they do it?

    My girlfriend and I have been struggling with her ex. He knows anything we talk about and gets pics that we send to each other or to other people. Somehow he logs on to both of our accounts and uses verizon messages to talk to other people then he screenshots the messages and sends them to her trying to get her to leave me. He made the mistake and told someone that he has a friend that works in verizon and he gets all of our messages? How is this possible and how can i stop it? The PA state police cant do anything about it and it needs to stop. He knew i left my housr yesterday and came here when she was alone and forced himself into my house. Anyone with any information on what to do please help me out before i go postal and go into the verizon store and figure out who it is.

    I agree with Elector. If a VZW employee is giving out your account information to a third party they will surely be fired and prosecuted. VZW can easily find out who it is since the system tags the account when it is accessed by an employee or agent of VZW. If he forced his way into your home and you can prove it then the police should surely be involved.
    I would also get a restraining order. Doesn't help much but it is something. Then once you can prove contact that violates it he will be arrested.
    First change your passwords on everything. Even though VZW Message+ is great I would also stop using it because if he accessing your messages online then another app will not allow this. Plus a computer expert should be able to track the ISP of the messages sent from the internet and that would be proof of his violations.

  • How do I stop games from syncing across multiple devices?

    Hi there,
    My kids all have their own ipads (super big blessing from a grandparent).  My husband and I each have one as well.  We like to play some of the same games, and sometimes the game progress syncs between our devices.  Eg. We like to play Disney's Frozen Free Fall game, and for some reason, my ipad doesn't sync to my husband's.  When my kids asked for the game on their ipads, however, the games automatically synced to my husband's, so I didn't let them keep it (I didn't want them using all his items/lives).
    My kids all like to play Angry Birds Transformers, and with the latest update to that game, their games are all suddenly connected to each other (they all have the same characters, number of gems, etc.).
    How do these games sync (game center, icloud, etc.)?  Does anyone know how to disable the feature so that our games do not sync across multiple devices?  I would like us to not be sharing the same game progress.  We all share one itunes account.
    Thanks so much!
    (If it helps, I have the ipad2, my kids have ipad mini 2's, and my husband has the ipad air.)

    We all share one itunes account.
    This would  be why the syncing occurs. Until a more knowledgeable person comes   by ...
    You can have one, two or three apple id accounts per idevice. Assign a second apple id to all the kids machines. Same or multiple apple ids. depending on how you want the game to act. Does a family account differ?  delete the game from the current apple id.  Install the game on the new apple id ( or apple ids ).
    Look into family sharing:

  • How do I stop Firefox from syncing to my iOS tablet

    i want to stop Firefox syncing with my iPad. Every time I use Firefox on my PC it messes up the bookmarks I have on iPad. The latest PC Firefox update wiped them out all together on the iPad! I am now fearful of using Firefox on the PC. How do I prevent this from happening in the future?

    Firefox Sync occasionally has problems with syncing bookmarks. That is most likely on a slow connection, or when there are a lot of changes. You should not become over-reliant on Sync's bookmarks and I would recommend always having manaul backup if you use Sync for that.
    Remember Sync will now only merge, there is no directional option. If you opt to Sync bookmarks it will try to make the pc & tablet listing identical. You may turn off Sync on the Tablet or just the bookmarks sync. See

  • How do I stop iTunes from syncing my gmail emails to my iPhone 4S?

    I tried deselecting my gmails from the list from the "Info" tab in iTunes, hit the "Apply" button and after a while the gmails on the list are selected and greyed out. The gmails show up in my iPhone 4S running the latest software. Any way to stop this from happening?

    on the iPhone select Preferences > Mail,Contacts, Calender.
    Remove your gmail account from the accounts list. This will stop it appearing on the phone but not affect anything else

  • How can I STOP mail from syncing with .mac????

    I don't have a .mac account, I will never have a .mac account, I have in mail prefs BOTH boxes under "synchronize with other computers using .mac" unchecked, and yet Mac Mail tries to tie up my entire system "synchronizing with .mac" all the time, especially when traffic is heavy (downloading or uploading). I've got activity viewer on and the stop sign is ghosted, there appears to be no way to stop Mail from doing this useless tie up time wasting process that manages to completely freeze up mail until it's completed and sometimes slow up other programs as well. I only have POP accounts, no IMAP accounts that have to be synced.
    This didn't start happening until I upgraded to 10.4.11. Prior to that Mail blazed through everything, and it NEVER tried to sync with .mac.
    Is there any way to turn this useless "feature" (for me) OFF?
    Thanks!

    I was on Tiger earlier, but just got home to a Leopard machine... and a power outage during the day seems to have blown my Tiger's Monitor, but look for...
    /Users/bd/Library/Application Support/SyncServices/Local/clientdata/com.apple.DotMacSync
    I'd try dragging the whole folder, if it exists...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Application Support/SyncServices
    to the Desktop & reboot, we can always move it back if need be.
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.DotMacSync.<ethernet MAC address>.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Preferences/com.apple.DotMacSync.plist
    are both other good choices to drag to the desktop.
    We might even have to go in and Copy this to the Desktop then Trash the originl...

  • Downloaded ios 6 to iphone but don't want to install.  How do i remove download from phone.  Takes up too much room.

    The ios 6 download takes up too much room.  I don't want to install it, but I don't know how to get rid of the download.  Any way to get rid if it?

    There is no way to get rid of it now that it is earmarked for the phone. I can respect your choice to hold to Maps, but you will need to install eventually. While this may not matter to you, the Maps app has worked fine for me, however I live in the US and that could make a difference.

  • My ipod touch is shuffling when I don't want it to. How do I stop it?

    While playing music from one of my playlists, the songs keep shuffling instead of playing in order like I want them to. Is there a way to turn shuffling off?  I never selected shuffling to be on, that's why I'm confused as to why it just started doing this on its own. Please help!!!!

    kcquestions,
    That's a very good question! It's important to be on the network you want to be on. How are you turning the wi-fi off? If you go into your settings there should be a wi-fi switch as the second option from the top. If we turn it off there it shouldn't come back on until you tell it to. If you select that and press the menu button (3 dots in the top right corner) you can also turn off "Allow wi-fi scanning" which can help not get notified of them when wi-fi is off.

  • Firefox 9.0 keeps downloading automatically, even though I unchecked the automatic update box. I don't want 9.0. How do I stop this?

    I cannot use FF 9.0 on my work computer--it cannot connect to any site. FF 8.0 works great, and I want to keep it. But no matter how many times I uninstall 9.0 and re-install 8.0--UNchecking the box for automatic updated--9.0 keeps re-installing automatically after a day or two. How do I stop this?

    Sorry, Swanarva, It didn't work as it was supposed to. I downloaded, saved file, clicked the download to open, clicked 'run' then got an error message that it couldn't find the file(!) . No idea what happened or why. Should I have uninstalled Firefox first, then downloaded Firefox 8 using another browser or downloaded, uninstalled Firefox 09 beta then tried installing Firefox 8?
    At this rate, IE is looking good, despite its shortcomings.

  • HT1688 My phone's iMessages are being sent to a the intended addressee. However in addition to him, his father's email account just recently started receiving our texts last night. How can we stop him from receiving our texts and replying in our thread?

    I've tried turning iMessage on and off, his son has deleted his iCloud account in suspiscion that that was the cause of the problem, etc.
    We've been texting for months without problem. This morning his son texts me, "Good morning," and then his father replies into our thread, "Good morning to you too!" I checked my contact, and I never had his father's email account before nor was his email a part of his son's contact. Please help me to stop him reading our messages. Thank you.

    You don't necessarily need to change the Apple ID for iMessage, in Settings > Messages > Received At > On each device have them uncheck any number/email that does not belong to that device
