IMessage appears on two iPhones!! Help!!

Hi
Simply to check if the SIM was locked to a carrier, one of my colleagues borrowed my SIM card for a minute. In, test, out.
After that all my iMessage conversations appears on his iPhone too!!
There is no SIM card in his iPhone, he only has access to WIFI.
This is a major bug and I sure hope this gets fixed.
We tried to reboot both phoness, but no luck.

Get his phone back, turn it off, put in your sim, turn the phone back on, go to Settings>Messages and turn iMessage off. Turn the phone off, remove your sim, turn the phone back on. That should fix things.
Don't do stuff like that again....

will imessaging work on two iphones using the same apple id

It will. If the two phones are used by two different people, however, you will need to implement some careful management of your iMessage settings to ensure that you don't each receive each-other's messages. It is a much safer option to use different Apple IDs for each individual.
On iOS devices, you are able to use separate Apple IDs for iMessage and Facetime, iCloud, and the iTunes and App Stores.

IMessage trouble with two iPhones and one Apple ID

Hi,
I'm having trouble with iMessage after updating both of my iPhones to iOS 6 and not being able to use iMessage with one of the phones.
Some background:
-I have two iPhones, one on AT&T in the U.S., and one on NTT DoCoMo in Japan, both with separate phone numbers, using the same Apple ID.
-The AT&T iPhone is a 4, the NTT is an unlocked 4S.
On my 4 (AT&T), on iMessage, I have the option to send/receive as my U.S. phone number and my Apple ID. Works just like before updating.
On my 4S (NTT), on iMessage, before I updated, I was able to send/receive using my Japanese number and Apple ID. After updating, I have the option to send/receive using my U.S. number and Apple ID. My Japanese number is greyed out and I cannot select it. When I turn on iMessage, it says "Waiting for activation..." and does not do anything. Turning iMessage off and on, some times I get an error message staying that activation cannot be completed.
I have rebooted the phone multiple times, turned on/off iMessage and FaceTime, turned the Set Date & Time Automatically option on/off, and reset Network settings several times. Nothing works; iMessage will not activate on my NTT 4S. Please help!

Finally resolved this issue after months of off and on troubleshooting.
I have no idea exactly which steps "fixed" the issue, but here's what I did. None of the basic troubleshooting steps that are on here worked for me, and this is including restoring both phones in iTunes as a "last resort" step that two Apple technical service representatives suggested.
I found a post on here from user "tungddao" who suggested:
"Turn on iMessage then make a phone call to : 011+445773142076
With Facetime & Siri: 011+447786205094"
I called both numbers with my NTT 4S, and both numbers hung up right away. I also texted both numbers, and the FaceTime one went through, while the iMessage number did not. I then checked my SMS blocking settings with NTT. There were no blocks, but I reset the settings to "unblock all" anyway.
I was able to activate iMessage and FaceTime with my Apple ID and my NTT phone number. Halfway there.
I then turned on my ATT 4, and while I could send/receive using my Apple ID and NTT phone number, the ATT number was greyed out, which was the opposite of what had happened before, when I could use the ATT number, but not the NTT one. On my NTT 4S, I could select my ATT number, but it was stuck on "verifying" for days, and I knew it wouldn't go through.
So, I signed out of my Apple ID on iMessage and FaceTime on my ATT 4, and turned both services off. I turned on data roaming, and turned off WiFi. *This step was key to activating both services, as they would not activate over WiFi for some reason.
I turned on iMessage and FaceTime without signing in to my Apple ID just yet. They both activated successfully, and then I signed into my Apple ID on both services, and from then on, I can use both numbers and my Apple ID on both phones! Finally!
These are my current options:
Phone 1 (4S on NTT): Phone 1's #, Phone 2's #, Apple ID
Phone 2 (4 on ATT, roaming here in Japan on Softbank): Phone 2's #, Phone 1's #, Apple ID
Hope this helps someone out there, as this issue was real frustrating for me.

Separate "iMessage accounts" on two iPhones with the same Apple ID

I have two iPhone 4 handsets. One is for work and one is my private number. Currently I am using the same Apple ID on both phones, as I want to use the apps I've purchased on both devices and get my contacts from iCloud.
As I usually bring both handsets with me, it is annoying to receive the same iMessage to both phones. Is there anyway to create two separate "iMessage accounts" such that I can use iMessage on both phones, but messages sent to my work phone will only be received on my work phone, and similarly, the iMessages sent to my private phone will only be received on my private phone?

Sure, just create another Apple ID & use that for iMessage:

IMessage merging on two iphones

I have four iPhones on one Apple ID using AT&T. Since updating one iPhone 4S to ios7 iMessages has merged my iphone with another iphone. We are seeing each other's messages. Any ideas?

I think your close I went to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and only my iphone is checked. It does have the other phone on the list but unchecked. I can manipulate the other number check and uncheck but my number is greyed out and not changeable.

Syncing Two IPhones - Help!

My one daughter already had an iPhone. Bought one for my second daughter today. How do I stop Daughter 1's contacts and content automatically syncing onto the second one?

There are Four options
1) You will either have to set up a second iTunes account for your other daughter and make sure they sign in and out of iTunes when they are using it.
2) create a second user in windows itself which is kinda the equivalent of having two seperate computers.
Note: These options would mean that they couldn't share App's at all so if they both wanted a particular one you would have to purchase it twice.
3) Another option is to set the second iPhone (or both) to not sync contacts and calendars at all, that way Apps and songs could still be shared but you would have to manage the contacts and calendars directly from the iPhone/s only.
4) Create multiple groups of contacts in the XP address book say Family and then under that would be Daughter1 and Daughter2 each with the respective phone numbers that apply to each etc...
then on the iPhone when you go to Contacts App click "Groups" and they can choose to view just their group, while all the contacts from both would reside on both iPhones they would only be viewing the one's that where applicable to them.
Note: These options would mean that they could share App's so if they both wanted a particular one you wouldn't have to purchase it twice.

Two iPhones linked to the same Apple ID

Is there any way to have separate iMessage services for two iPhones linked to the same Apple ID? I share Apple ID with my wife for convenience of buying apps only once and sharing photo and music from one Mac. However, the my iMessages to other people seem to appear on my wife's iPhone. The phone number is used as a Caller ID.

Use separate Apple IDs for iMessage (Settings>Messages>Receive At>tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, sign in with a different ID). You can still keep the same ID for iCloud (if you want to share contacts, calendars, photostream, etc.) and for store purchases (in Settings>Store).

I have two iphones, personal and work. Same icloud account. Now i get my imessages on both phones. I dont want that. How do I stop it?

I have two iPhones, personal and work. Same iCloud account. I updated my work phone last night. Now I get my imessages on both phones. Incoming and outgoing. No matter which phone I use.
Help, I do not need my work phone to have my personal text.

Settings>Messages>Send & Receive...edit on each phone here.

Please help. I have two iPhones.

I have two iphone 4's, one for me and one for my girlfriend, under one apple account. Is there anyway I can make a sub account for her so I wont lose all the music, apps, etc..? If i make her own account i have rebuy everything for her. If i cant, how can she use find friends, imessage, and facetime, etc.. without my apple ID? can her iphone use these and how? Thanks in advance for the help.

Under whose Apple ID were the apps that you are referring to purchased? If they are displaying her Apple ID and asking for her password when you are trying to update them, then that means they were purchased under her ID. They will continue to do that unless you delete them and purchase them again under your own Apple ID.
Cheers,

IMessage on two iPhone with one account

I have two iPhones under my Apple ID (mine and my wife's). I am unable to set up my wife's iPhone using iMessage using her email address. It alway says "unable to verify" or "already in use" Since her email address is unique to her, there is no way it is already in use. Need help, thanks!

OK here is the official way this works...
1. You can setup alternate emails and register them Apple and your icloud/me account is what is used to verify everything. Basically Apple becomes the DNS service of that email address to route imessages to the correct device.
2. The reason you see a message about the email address already being registerd is my guess you have used that email address to register facetime on a device that is not a phone (ad phones are usually linked by phone number). Since my primary personal email is on my imac facetime and my work email is on my macbook pro I could not use these two email addresses for imessage as Apple is using them to route facetime requests to those unique PCs. So I had to use my mobileme/icloud email address with my phone and ipad.
3. Now for my wives iphone and ipad we attached to my mobileme/icloud account but then used her personal email to be the additional address and then you can delete your mobileme/icloud if you put it in there already.
So no imessage requests to my phone/email go to both my ipad and iphone and my wive's ipad and iphone is unique to her phone and pesonal email for her imessage needs.
works well but not easy for the average not tech with many devices to figure out...
...I'm a tech who has been drinking Apple kool-aid for about 5 years...

I have two iPhones, 1 Apple ID can I have IMessage working from both different numbers? If so how?

I have two iPhones and need to use both with different numbers. I have one Apple ID, can I use iMessage on both phones with the different numbers? If so how

I have two apple phones too. One for work and my personal. When setting up your apple ID on the second phone under Messages settings -> Send & Receive -> you can select the other phone that has your apple ID. I haven't done it, bc need two separate phones. But i believe that sould work. Same on your Messages on you mac. But remember iMessages only works with Apple products. All your other buddies that don't have apple you won't get their sms, on the primary phone you want to use. Hope this helps

If two iPhones are linked to the same Apple ID can the other phone see the iMessages I'm sending, received or both?

HI
I was trying to take my Mac air to factory default settings.
I've done all that it says in the documment i was following, and them during the process it asked me the APPLE ID.
I put the apple id i have in my iphone. But it's not the one... it's said that i don't have any OSX associated with it... so it can not install the OSX.
So what can i do?

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones.

I need help making Adobe Edge animation appear correctly on iphones, ipads and android phones. It currently looks fine on desktops and androids. I am using wordpress with a responsive theme (Canvas). I will need you to document The url is http://adamhtc.org.s183459.gridserver.com.

Thanks George, interesting thought. I looked on Adobe's site and they "advertise" fillable forms for the iPhone and Android markets, but on the Windows Phone tab, that is mysteriously missing. lol Maybe it will come later? Meanwhile, I'll google to see if there are any PDF viewers that can handle it now. Thanks for the reply. :-)
