IMessage going to wrong person

When using iMessage, if I start a conversation with my friend who is on her iPad2 (thesame as I am), sometimes the messages don't go to her, but to her son on his iPhone 3GS.
It shows up as a continuing chat to my friend and if her son replies it again shows up as my friend.
Can anyone tell me why this would be happening and even more importantly how to stop it as I don't know who will receive my messages!

Hi,
I think this is consider a imessage bug. It should not be like that. What happen, there is 2 address in the message setting. First for phone number, second for Apple ID which is not suppose mandatory. Apple only resolve 1 situation which is for wifi user without cellular signal to receive the message. What happen then is all Iphone or Ipad - sync with the same Apple ID will receive the same message(SMS/MMS). The message will go to Iphone/Ipad :-
1. Being repair but still can receive wifi
2. Other older iphone/ipad but still can receive wifi.
- sold to someone
- give to any family member
3. Stolen

Messages going to wrong person

When I send a message to a person, it goes to them another person that I did not intend?
Then when either person replies to me it goes to the 3 of us.
The person I am sending to is on AT&T I am on verizon.
Is anyone else having a similar problem?
When I use text free all is fine, iMessages is the problem.
Thank you

This just started happening to me too. Me, my wife and daughter all share an apple id but have different iCloud accounts. This week we were all prompted with messages on the phone regarding messaging and FaceTime and associating the other phone numbers and emails. I said no, they just clicked ok. Now anyone who sends me a text, it also goes to my wife and daughters phones. I went into settings-messaging-send and receive on their phones and saw all numbers and emails checked. Unchecked those and it stopped. Until today when it happened again and they're all checked again. Agggghhhjh! My friends don't all have the cleanest mouths, this is not the best thing apple has done. I'm guessing we may all have to get our own apple Ids but then that screws up app and music sharing. Maybe this is what is happening to you or whoever you texted, perhaps they share an apple id.

IMessages going to wrong number

iMessages for my partner is showing messages from my daughter who does not have iMessage. They have different phone numbers in contacts and when I send messages to my partner they are going to my daughter. I have deleted and reentered my daughters contact details and nothing has changed? I am concerned that this may be happening on other contacts? What might be happening

Your partner needs to go to Settings > Message > Send & Receive and inspect "You can be reached by iMessage at". Your daughter's email is likely there.

Text messages going to wrong person

This issue has been reported for quite a while and is still occurring yet I do not see that Verizon is acknowledging it. I have also seen where it might actually be an Android O/S issue but it still needs to be addressed by Verizon.
My personal experience is that at random a reply to a message on a current string will go the person whom I had a prior message string, which I might add had been deleted. It happened only an hour ago so I know the issue has not been solved.
Other than being embarrassing it could also open significant liability to myself as well as Verizon. I use my phone for business and I could easily lose customers and business deals through this problem as well as potential legal suits if confidential information ended up with competitors of my clients through this flaw..
Is a law suite required to have this issue acknowledged and fixed?

Yes I think it will take a lawsuit which will probably come pretty soon since this is a HUGE privacy issue.

When I'm sending a imessage to the same person sometimes it goes as a imessage

why when I'm sending a imessage to the same person to changes from imessage to text and do they receive the text?

If not connected to WiFi or cellular data, iMessages will go as SMS. Also, if the receipent has iMessage turned off, or not connected to WiFi or cellular data, they will go as SMS.

IMessage goes to stranger instead of my contact

For some reason, when I try to text my friend while iMessage is activated on my phone, the message goes to a complete stranger (who is getting annoyed with me). If I SMS to the same number, it goes through to my friend just as it should. My friend does not have an iOS device. I really don't want to turn iMessage off on my phone, because most of the people I know have iPhones and I like the iMessage features. I'm finding that I have to turn iMessages on and off throughout the day just to text my friend (which is a pain).
What could be causing the iMessage to go to the wrong person? I'm sending to the exact same phone number each time. Is there a way within the iMessage app to designate whether I want the text to be send as SMS without turning iMessage on and off in the settings?
Thanks for the help!

I don't know if this will work or not but go to Settings > Messages and turn off iMessages. Then go into Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. (You'll likely have to connect to your wifi again so know your wifi password if you have one. If you have any bluetooth devices paired you have to pair them again too.) Once you've connected to wifi turn iMessages back on.

Why do my contact photos keep getting assigned to the wrong person/number?

This has happened to me twice recently: my phone rings and the wrong contact photo appears with the wrong phone number. All my contact photos are assigned to the wrong person/phone number. Any ideas on what's going on? Thanks!

Thanks for your reply.
Can I get this straight in my mind? Does this mean that I will have to put ALL the photos stored on my Laptop into ONE large folder, then divide it up into sub-folders? Then I can copy each sub-folder?
Sorry to sound stupid, but most things I try on my ipod don't seem to work for me. I think I am getting a bit old for all this.....lol.
.......Actually thinking back, a while back I did click on my main folder called "Nikon" and that did copy everything in it, but just in one whole lot, ie 1,000 photos.........................so nothing was sub-divided into folders, ie. holiday 2010, holiday 2011. Is that another problem I have created for myself?
Thanks for your patience.

My girls were yelled at when FaceTime called wrong person

Face Time called someone else... Idk how or what happened.. I(mommy) uwas at work and getting ready to go home when my girls facetimed me.. I told them I was driving home so i'll see them soon, of course being 7 n 6, they facetimed me three more times waiting til I answered said love you and hung up.. Whatever.. So I see it ring once and then stop.. Ok??? So I try them and dad picks up screaming at me because some jerk just threatened them for accidentally getting the wrong person.. They are in tears, super upset.. Where's mom? Why can't our call go thru to mom? Who is this mean guy? And as freaked out as they were, I feel awful.. Dad tried face timing my number from his other ipad and it went to the guy.. And he yelled at him, asking if he realized he just threatened two little girls, who thought the cops were gonna really come and arrest them. :-(
so any suggestions on what else I can do to try to prevent this from happening again??
Obviously going through all accounts to double check they have the right info, explaining to the girls what happened, but can't obviously do anything about the jerk, so .. What now? :-(

I have been experiencing this issue for the last few weeks and it is extremely annoying. I've called Verizon 7 times and have gotten nothing but the run around. What's even more annoying is hearing them say there will be a software coming out to correct the problem but they don't know when. I'm very disappointed in Verizon. I've been with them for many years. They were my first and only carrier. I will definitely not be taking this lying down. I'm going to get a resolution, and if that means leaving Verizon, then so be it. And if anyone from Verizon is reading this, PLEASE DO NOT offer up another apology. I don't want another apology, I want this issue to be corrected, NOW!!

Mail sending email to wrong person

I am using MacMail 2.1 and have had 2 instances where it has automatically sent very private emails to the very wrong person. I have looked back in my sent history and the only adress that appears is the adress I intended to send the email to and yet, in both instances, somehow the email ended up in an unintended persons inbox. It is also important to note that it was sent to the same person both times, and this person was someone that I used to send very regular emails to(1 or more a day) but no longer do.
I have absolutely no idea why this is happening but really need to figure out how to fix it.
Thanks.

If it looks lke a forwarded message, it probably is, and then would have nothing to do with mail. If you can access the email that went to the wrong person's inbox, look at the long headers for that email to identify the sender. One possibility - (I'm assuming that the email went to the correct address and the wrong address) if the correct address is a PC user they may have a virus that wold account for the forwarding. Again, looking at the header of the mail after it arrived at the wrong destination would be helpful.
Have you checked with your ISP?

To get rid of "pop-up ads and other crap on my computer when I am on the internet", click on Safari in the Menu bar, and select Preferences. Next select Extensions. Delete all of them. Restart Safari.
The first step in addressing the black screen is an SMC reset.
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

I can send a IMessage but the other person won't receive it, i can receive theirs though. It shows message delievered

Try running a power cycle = hold the power button till the phone shuts off then re-powers and you might try running system cache clear it's not like a Factory Reset but it can sometimes straighten out phone issues.. If the issue persist you might removing the Sim Card do it with phone off use care when removing leave it out for 10min. then reinstall..
Give these suggestions a try let us know if it Helped. b
