IMessage: messages appear on two different iPhones. How to change?

I have 3 iPhones that are syncing to 1 iMac. The only things that are "shared" are Contacts and Calendars.
With the new iMessage function, when sending messages from the iMac (phone #1) to phone #3, it will also appear on phone #2. Generally speaking, phone #1 and #3 seem to behave, but #2 is somehow getting involved in the discussion.
I only added #1 to the iMessage user list on the Mac. Sending messages from phone or computer doesn't make a difference. #2 will always get the messages as well.
And multiple messages too, by the way....They will get two messages from me, and one message being listed as coming from themself.
I disabled the "account on the computer, and I am only sending messages from the phone, but it's still stuck on getting these multiple messages out....
What gives?

True, but then you get the situation that you're sitting at your Mac when a message arrives, and at the same time all your other devices start dinging, vibrating or whatever.
It's not a killer annoyance but it would be a decent idea to be able to quickly disable messaging on devices that are redundant for the moment

  • HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

    How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

    I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
    Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

    Hello,
    CanI set up two accounts for two different iPhones on the same iTunes account. Thanks JIMMY

    You can use the same apple id for two separate phoones to share apps/music, however you would need a separate apple id for both phone for imessage/facetime/icloud.

  • Can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  Yes, there is more to the story.

    I have an iMac, and iPhone.  I've had my Apple ID for a few years. 
    My wife got an iPhone 4S a few months back and the salesperson at Verizon set her Apple ID the same as mine, but gave her a different password.  I don't know if this was ok, but that is what happened.
    So, yesterday, we both upgraded to IOS6 and I had no problem logging in to my iPhone with my Apple ID.  When my wife went to log in, she was told that she was entering the wrong password. We entered the password over and over again and still was wrong.
    The question is... can two people share the same Apple ID on two different iPhones and maintain different passwords?  (I have the feeling her iPhone is thinking that since it's my Apple ID, it wants my password.)
    If not, can I still set up a new Apple ID for her even through she's had the iPhone for a few months?
    Thanks.

    Hi
    You shold follow your feelings, its probably right most of the time.
    You can have 5 different devices hucked upp to one Apple ID. What I have done is that my wife and I have one Apple ID, when I bye a new app on my phone, She gets it to. Thats nice.
    You can allways set upp a new Apple ID for your wife.

  • Using the same Credit Card on two different iPhones

    Wanted to know if it's possible to use the same credit card on two different iPhones.
    There have been times that I wished I had a card that was in my wife's possession for certain "Points Purchases"
    It would be so handy to share a single card on two phones.  Has anyone done this?

    I appreciate your response but, the question was in relation to Apple Pay.  I thought that was the forum I posted in.
    So...let me try this again.  We have one Amex card but say I want to purchase something at Home Depot with it and she is out shopping at Nordstrom's.  Can my wife and I have the same card registered in Apple pay on each of our phones so that it's available for both of us to use?  Or are you only allowed to register a card once on one phone?  This has nothing to do with iTunes purchases or Apple ID's.   This is for for using Apple Pay out and about at different retailers.

    Is it possible to sync two different iphones and an ipad on only one computer??
    My husband has an iphone 4 & ipad. I have an iphone 4S. We both use the same  itunes account. We are having trouble w/ all of our contacts/calendars & info getting all mixed up. We want to both use the same itunes account & apple id so that we dont have to separatley repurchase everything. Can anyone help us w/ this issue? Are we obligated to buy another computer so that we each have one--or is there some way around it? Thanks!!

  • Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

    Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
    I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
    Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
    I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
    Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
    Thanks!

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

  • I just downloaded an iphoto update and when I tried to share my photos was asked for email and password.  I must have typed in the info wrong because I keep getting an error message.   I don't see how to change the info to the correct mistake..

    I too added 2nd apple ID when I tried to get Free app from apple store just to get to NONE on the credit card needed. It said it sent confirmation email to my new apple ID email that I have to confirm. Problem is I can not get to the new apple ID email account.  On my ipad it logs into my original email account and I see no where to log into another email account.  If I go to my laptop, the new apple ID I created does not let me log into email where apple said it was sent to.  It did not send to back up email account either.
    Can I log into 2 email accounts on my ipad where it says mail at bottom?
    Can I have 2 apple ids?
    If I created a 2nd apple id to get to NONE on credit card needed, can't I log into it also on another laptop in gmail?
    (won't let me)
    If I used my original apple id I created when I got my new ipad, it will not let me get free app without credit card, there is no where it says NONE needed. I am too new to apple to start with credit cards etc until I get use to it.

  • HT3529 iMessage appearing in 2 different iPhones with distinct phone numbers but using same apple ID

    I and my friend both use same apple ID. When someone sends me an iMessage to my iPhone, it goes to his iPhone with separate phone number also. When I send someone an iMessage from my iPhone, the message will appear as sent from his iPhone also. But the receiving person will get only one iMessage (from my number).
    Both of us have ios 6 and separate phone numbers but same apple ID.
    How is this possible?
    When I checked setting on iMessage on my phone, send and receive shows my phone number and email address only.
    Has my iPhone been hacked by him?
    Please help

    iMessage is linked to a phone number AND an email (Apple ID) address.
    Sorry for bugging cheonweb but I just want to be clarified:
    1) If the phone numbers are different but the Apple ID is same, he would still get iMessages sent from/to my Phone number?
    2) Why is it not vice versa? Why do I not get messages sent from/to his iPhone?
    Thanks in advance

  • How do I combine the data of two different iPhones so the data is put together on one iPhone?

    I have two iPhones. On both is different data, how do I combine this (in an easy way) so all of the data is put together on my new iPhone?
    The agenda and music works ok with iCloud, but my old photos and notes not.

    Notes can be synced through iCloud as long as you have a @me.com account. The photos will need to be imported to a computer (Follow these steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 ) and synced into the phones seperately through iTunes.

  • Duplicate messages on two different iphones

    I sent an Imessage to my neighbour who also has an iphone 4s and the original sent message from my iphone appeared on my wifes iphone 4 as well as my iphone 4s as did the next following 5 messages back and forth between myself and my neighbour.
    My iphone 4s is version 5.1
    wifes iphone 4 is version 5.1
    Crazy as !!!!!!
    Any ideas as it might not be my neighbour I am texting next time ????

    You have managed to activate both your phone and your wife's phone using the same e-mail address for iMessage.
    Settings>Messages>Receive At.
    You are probably also sharing the same iCloud account and Apple ID.

  • Apple ID on two different iPhones

    My parents accidentally used the same Apple ID for both of their iPhones. How can I unlink their accounts and create two different, unique Apple ID for each of their iPhones? And without losing what is currently saved to the iCloud (some of the info saved is for business). I appreciate any help. When I create a new ID for one device it messes up the other one. Thanks!

    You'll need to migrate a copy of the iCloud data on one of the phones to a separate iCloud account using a different Apple ID, then manually delete the data you don't want from each account.
    To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward pointing arrow), then tap Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud and won't effect the other phone), choose Keep on My iPhone and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create the new account and choose Merge to upload the data.
    Then you can go to icloud.com from your computer and manually delete the unwanted data from each account.
    They can continue to share the same ID for iTuens without any problem.  However they should use separate IDs for FaceTime and iMessage (to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls and text messages).  On the phone that was migrated to the new account, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the separate ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • One Interface - Two different maps - How to define which mapping to execute

    Hi all,
    I have created a SalesOrderCreate soap interface to BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATE to create SalesOrders on ECC600 from a legacy application. Now I have another legacy app that needs to create SalesOrders, but with some different mapping rules, using the same bapi.
    The first think I thought was to create another soap interface. But the principle of Enterprise Services is to use only one interface for each service (so, I was supposed to use the same soap interface). Then I have one soap interface and two different message mappings to the same BAPI.
    The question is how can I define that when the message comes from legacy "A" the mapping "A" would be executed, and when the message comes from legacy "B", the mapping "B" would be executed.
    Thanks!
    roberti

    Hi,
    >>>> But the principle of Enterprise Services is to use only one interface for each service (so, I was supposed to use the same soap interface).
    the concept of Enterprise Services is as you say
    but in your case it means that you need to use the same mapping... <-- as it's a part of your WS!
    you need to use the same soap interface without any changed inside it
    (in your case inside your mappings)
    if you want to reuse your first interface you can do this:
    - create another soap interface from second legacy to first soap interface
    (there you can use another mapping)
    this way you will reuse your previous work
    this is Enterprise Services concept and not changing
    web service logic (in this case mapping) for every new system
