IMessage - different Sender information than Apple ID

I have 1 Apple ID setup under my wife's name. Linked to this ID is my son's iPod Touch. Currently when an iMessage is sent, my wife's Apple ID appears as the sender. We would like to change the Sender's ID to my son's name-without setting up New Apple ID

I had this problem. I finally figured it out yesterday. Try this:
On the device that is having trouble seeing purchases, go to Settings>iCloud>Family Sharing> Then tap on the user of the device you are on. Under "Family Purchases" make sure it has the AppleID of the person for that device. Mine originally had my husbands AppleID in there (he is the Organizer), but I changed it to mine. That doesn't make it so that the purchases are under me. The purchases remained under my husband, but my ID had to be in this spot for it to work.
After that, I closed settings, then I went to Settings>iTunes and App Store> click on the AppleID and Sign Out, even if it has the right AppleID in there. Then Sign In again using the AppleID of the person on that device. Again-- even if it has the right ID in there to start, still sign out and back in.
See if they show up. If they don't show up still, try doing a restart (hold down power button and home button until it restarts).
They should show up by then, but if they don't, at that point, try to go into iCloud and Sign Out and back in.
I think the key is having the right ID in "Family Purchases". I hope this works for you.

  • Genius cannot send information to Apple, please help!

    Hi is there anybody out there who can help me?
    This is the problem:
    I have an iMac with itunes 8 on. I've been trying to start genius features the whole week. The first step (scanning my library) is ok but then the system takes way too much time to send information to apple. I tried to let it go for more that 8 hours in different days. There must be something wrong. Any idea how to fix this?
    i've already tried to check itunes libraries file with XML validator and it says that it is ok.
    I really don't know what else to do.

    Weird! Are you logged in to the iTunes store and have authorised your computer?

  • "Sending information to Apple" -- is it just me?

    I'm at the point now where most of the music I want in iCloud is done and over with, and I just add to it sparingly at this point.  So I noticed about a week back that I had a tendency to hang at "Sending information to Apple" when I tried to add one new album, but a retry the next day was A-OK.   Then I had this happen yet again, even after letting it sit overnight.  And still having this issue now, with two different systems tested.
    So is Apple making another update of some kind without telling us?  Or am I all alone here with some one-off problem?  Just curious as I sit and wait wait and wait wait for my Match of exactly five albums to complete.  

    Replied to myself -- it finished!  I just let it sit and it took a good 30-40 minutes but it finally got past that part.   No worries but I'll have t bundle up my uploads as best I can next time if this is the norm now.....

  • Itunes match no longer sending information to apple

    Itunes Match will no longer send anything to apple It has been stuck at sending information to apple for the past three hours. Anyone know what's going on?

    Hi there,
    I had the same problem with Windows version of iTunes although the fix is the same for Mac or Windows I'd guess. If you've tried the "Switch off / on iTunes Match" thing and still getting an error try this:
    1) Turn off iTunes Match and Genuis.
    2) De-authorise Computer
    3) Sign out of your Apple account.
    Re-boot computer and start up iTunes
    4) Sign back into your Apple ID
    5) Authorise your Computer
    6) Turn on Genius and wait for Apple to send back results and process completes
    7) Turn on iTunes Match and click the "add this computer" button to start the matching process.
    8) Allow iTunes Match to go through the updating process - this time it should eventually complete.
    Hope this works - it certainly fixed my "Sending Information to Apple" problem.

  • Can not get Itunes match to work. It stops on the first step and on my status bar it just says "sending information to apple" this goes on for hours. Help please.

    Help please. I cannt get itunes match to work. It just stops on the first step and the status bar continues to say "sending information to apple" for hours. Any ideas?

    I am having a similar issue with iTunes Match. It keeps hanging up on the same number of files (11035 of 15455) during STEP 2. I've tried signing out, re-opening iTunes, re-booting, etc. Still comesup stuck for hours. What I also don't understand is why the "iCloud Status" option in "View/View Options" disappears intermittently. It was there when I first booted up this morning and I reviewed all my music files to see if there were any "errors" and there werne't any. But after Match gets stuck on the same file niumber (11035) I 've signed out and re-booted and now the "iCloud Status" check box is missing from "View Options" (only the "iCloud Download" option remains present all the time. Please help. (I've also checked to make sure all the music files are within the suggested bit rate parameters and file type - This is also a brand new iMac out of the box). Running out of troubleshooting ideas and beginning to think this service just doesn't work well.

  • "Genius - Sending information to Apple..."  - How do I stop this?

    Everytime I start iTunes, I get this message in the top status bar "Genius - Sending Information to Apple..." Note: I'm internet connected and can get to any site.
    The status doesn't goes away. How do I stop this? How do I disable "Genius"?
    The little icon in the lower right of iTunes (for Genius) when paused on says "Start Genius" and it's greyed out. So I can neither start nor stop Genius.
    thanks.

    Thanks, All. I can hide the sidebar and the entry in the playlists list, but the status message remains.
    When I go the pulldown menu for Store, the 'Turn off Genius' is greyed out.
    I saw another message on this board that said it took many hours to complete "sending information to Apple" so I'll just wait and see if/when I can turn off Genius.
    Thanks, all, for your help.

  • When I sync my iPhone 4s, it sticks at "sending information to Apple.

    Hi,
    When I sync my iPhone 4s, it always sticks at "sending information to Apple". I don't have Genius switched on, nor do I have Apple match.  If someone could help me in as simple a way as possible, you would make a computer illiterate pensioner very happy. Thank you.

    Try to restart your PC or reinstall iTunes. Apple Mobile Device Service is installed by iTunes and must be launched at startup in order to work properly

  • Itunes match stuck at sending information to apple

    Anyone else having issues tonight? Once a week the iTunes match seems to auto run the info gathering and send to apple. Normally it works fine although can be a but slow to get a response from apple sometimes. Tonight it just won't go past 'sending information to apple'. Each time I start iTunes it gathers the info to try again. Anyone else getting similar? My library has not changed in weeks so it can't be anything like that. I guess server issues at apples end?
    Cheers

    Welcome to the iTunes Match family...
    But I have the same problem everyone is experiencing. It's not an exactly a trend with iTunes Match, but when it works... it works flawlessly. But as mracole mention above, it's most likely a maintenance issue.

  • Another "This itunes account is set up to use family sharing with a different icloud account than Apple ID "

    I saw another thread on the matter but thought I would post because the circumstances are different. Here is how it happened.
    I have had an Apple Store account for years and until recently our family has only had our one Mac and my iPhone 4. Thus any purchases we have made on the Apple App Store were made only with this account.
    We recently purchased two iPhone 5S's--one for my wife and one for my daughter. Neither had Apple IDs so first we set up my wife's iPhone and created an Apple ID for her. Next we used the Family Sharing feature to set up an account for our "under age 13" daughter.
    Because I am still waiting for my iPhone 6 Plus to arrive, and because the iPhone 4 cannot upgrade to iOS 8, and because my Apple ID is the only account with any apps that have been purchased in prior years, I set up my wife as the Family Organizer but when I set up her account, I chose the option to "share purchases from a different account" and entered the information for my Apple ID.
    My daughter is able to view my prior purchases on her iPhone, but when my wife tries to view my prior purchases, she receives the message "This iTunes account is set up to use Family Sharing with a different iCloud account than <her Apple ID>."
    I hope Apple is reading this. I would be more than willing to help them on this one as this feature is one of the main reasons I put our family on iPhones.

    I had this problem. I finally figured it out yesterday. Try this:
    On the device that is having trouble seeing purchases, go to Settings>iCloud>Family Sharing> Then tap on the user of the device you are on. Under "Family Purchases" make sure it has the AppleID of the person for that device. Mine originally had my husbands AppleID in there (he is the Organizer), but I changed it to mine. That doesn't make it so that the purchases are under me. The purchases remained under my husband, but my ID had to be in this spot for it to work.

    They should show up by then, but if they don't, at that point, try to go into iCloud and Sign Out and back in.
    I think the key is having the right ID in "Family Purchases". I hope this works for you.

  • HT2954 How can I access my imac mail from a different computer other than Apple?

    How can i access my imac email from a differnt computer other than
    apple?

    If you are using IMAP mail connection (IMAP keeps the  mail on the server), then you just configure the other computer's mail client to access the same account.
    If you are using a POP mail connection, then the mail is generally downloaded to your Mac and deleted from the server.  That is a much more difficult problem to solve.  NOTE:  Google's gmail does have a POP option that does NOT delete the mail on the server, so it is accessible via the gmail web page.
    A lot depends on what you are using for your mail service and whether you are using IMAP or POP protocols.

  • Has anyone seen the Send Information to Apple?

    I was Syncing my phone to put a movie on it and some pictures. When I plugged it in I got an alert box that stated that my iPhone had diagnostic information on it that would be helpful to Apple. It stated no personal information would be sent. Gave me option to send or refuse. As far as I know my phone is working perfectly, no problems I can see. Very interesting. I wonder if they will do this on a regular basis? I don't care but I can see that others might. As far as I'm concerned no software ever leaves beta testing, I am willing to help. Now how do I run a Citrix client so I can get into my work computer system?

    Yes, several times in the past couple of days. The crash logs are similar in format to Mac OS X application crash logs and can be found in /Library/Logs/CrashReporter/MobileDevice/youriPhonename/.
    So far I've had these files created and uploaded to Apple:
    ResetCounter.crash
    MobilePhone-2007-07-05-171713.crash
    MobileMail-2007-07-06-140211.crash
    And a separate directory named "Baseband" with two log files:
    log-2007-07-08-02-38-50.txt.submitted
    log-2007-07-08-12-31-34.txt.submitted
    My iPhone froze, requiring a hard reset holding the sleep/wake and home buttons for 10 seconds, today. The "ResetCounter.crash" file was created on the first sync after that freeze/reset.

    I have an EVDRE where I want to GET data on the left from parent levels, run some calculations in excel and send the data to the bas members on the right. can that be done with one EVDRE formula?  Leaning torwards staying with EVGTS & EVSND's at this point.

    Hi Matthew,
    You can achieve this by using multiple EVDRE's in the same schedule.
    For example
    A               B        J       K             L
    EVDRE1                     EVDRE2
             COL1                               COL1
    PARENTA  10              PARENTA CHILD1     =lookup value in column J using column A and some formula eg EVPRO(child1)
    PARENTB  10              PARENTA CHILD2     =lookup value in column J using column A and some formula eg EVPRO(child2)
                             PARENTB CHILD1    ...
                             PARENTB CHILD2
    Hope this helps,

  • Iweb upload to host other than apple

    Is this possible? Can I change the settings inside of iweb so that it will upload the site to a different host, other than apple. I'm a dreamweaver user and I have to help out a number of people and they all just got new macbooks. Since it has iweb already, it would be great to use it, but we didn't get the mac accounts. The office did open an independent site with a generic hosting service.
    One person says that we can upload the site to the our purchased host through FTP. Sure, but everyone is COMPLETELY computer illiterate. So that isn't a solution. We need something they can just press and it will work. Can I configure iweb to do this. This is a Yes or NO question. I just need to know. I can do the legwork myself, but before I get started down that road, I need to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel. Otherwise it's dreamweaver.
    Thank you. Whoever you are that has the answer.

    Whatever happened to helping people to learn or teaching, or has this art suddenly disappeared? I am sure that most people were computer illiterate as you put it before we got our hands on one and were taught or helped to learn how to use it. I know I was. I remember about 16 years ago now, when I was at university, I needed a computer, so I purchased an Amstrad. It was a black and white monitor and had no hard drive, so all work needed to be saved on a floppy disc. This saw me through uni and I then decided to buy my first proper computer which was a Viglen PC. This had an internet connection and I learned how to use this by fiddling myself and reading books and with help from others.
    It was not long after this that Apple bought out the first iMacs - the Tangerine iMacs that were 500 Mghz. I bought one of these for my parents as they wanted something simple to use without all the leads and connections that PC's had. I set it up for them and used it myself and was so impressed with it, that I went out and bought one for myself and have never looked back. It ran OS 8, which was quite unstable and kept crashing and freezing all the time. I learned how to use this myself.
    Since then, I have graduated to the latest Macs and the latest software, but they are easy to use even for the computer illiterate. Even the computer illiterate can learn if they are taught.
    I totally agree with what Roddy has said. How hard can it really be to publish to a folder - this can be done from within iWeb itself, by selecting the Publish to MMe or a folder option? If someone were to set up an ftp client such as Cyberduck for people to use and have all the info needed entered into it, then all they need do is click on upload and select first the site folder and then the index file. Is this really going to be so hard?
    Do you really think that using Dreamweaver is going to be easier than using iWeb? If these people are not even able to click on publish to a folder and then upload using Cyberduck themselves, then do you really think that they will be able to use Dreamweaver any better? Dream on then if you think this!!

    There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
    Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products.  The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message.  It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
    Email, however, is a whole different category.  I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only.  Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.
