IMessage sends me the same text i just sent to someone else.

After upgrading to iOS 6 last night, whenever my wife or I send or receive a text on our phones, the other person gets a duplicate.  In other words, when I send a text to someone, i also get the text in my messages inbox.  Or when someone sends my wife a text, i get the text as well.  Two different phones with two different numbers but we do share an Apple ID.  Any suggestions how to stop this?

You don't need to get your own Apple IDs.  If you go into System Preferences on each device, make certain that you ONLY have the email listed under FaceTime that you want that device to receive.  You can both have the same Apple ID.  I have had to do this with a number of iPads, iPods and iPhones among my wife and my grandchildren as we share on Apple ID.  You can delete the EXTRA email address by just clicking on them.

  • Using imessage I receive the same text I sent out

    I have 4 iphones using the same account and the same icloud. When i send imessages between 2 of them I receive from my own cel number the imessage I just sent out.
    How can this be corrected?

    That seems like a really strange case, basically equivalent to sending yourself a message. Somehow, I'm not surprised to hear that you receive it on all of your devices, including the one you sent it from.
    If I understand the iMessage model correctly, sending to a phone number through the iMessage system is equivalent to sending to the associated iCloud account. That is, all the devices on that iCloud account should receive it. Apparently, that includes the originating device if it is on the iCloud account.
    I get the same effect if I send to my own phone number or any of my iCloud-associated email addresses. Not sure I can call it a bug, but I can see how you might want an option to suppress it if it annoys you.

  • HT3529 iphone Suddenly receiving the same message I just sent in messaging

    We just added an iphone for my son, and for some reason I'm suddenly seeing the same message in my message box I just sent to my wife. Not sure what to do about this...

    You'll need to give more information in that case.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • IPhone keeps sending the same text message multiple times in a row.

    My iphone (4s) keeps sending people the same text message multiple times (2-4) a few seconds inbetween.  Sometimes it will tell me that there the message failed, but they still recieve it multiple times.  I've already tried deleting the message tread and reset network settings.  Nobody who has an iphone has said anything to me about it yet, only people with android.  

    It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
    They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

    "Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage.   You will need to create a separate id for you wife.  OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

    I just got my replacement phone from Warranty. The phone was on for just 2 hours and it crashed. I was told that motorola knows about this "possible" issue. I got a new sim, hard reset, If it can be done I did it. They are now sending me the same phone again. Number 3. I would hope this one doesn't crash but I rather have a different phone so I can enjoy using my account. The phone's most recent error was today. " Unfortunately, the process com.motorola.widget.circlewidget3d" has stopped. At least the error message works and it's polite. I told tech this and they could not answer my question or help me other then "let's do a hard reset" My warranty replacement is coming on Monday. Let's hope this one works. Anyone else havinbg the same problem. it says "such and such as stop working" on all sorts of stuff! Help! I want my iPhone Back!

    I just did a google search on this issue. OMG, I got a ton of videos on this or similar issues. Each one says in some way to clear the cache, reset the data, etc. Why in the world would this continue to happen and they not do a fix that resloves this without having to lose or stop what your doing. This is a very long and constant issue it seems with Android phones as there must have been pages and pages of what I now call "Unfortunately"  So I am going to pray that Verizon helps me  out and gets me away from this issue and helps me go back to iPhone or try the Samsung.

  • Leading in Pages. I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size, but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would

    I've just discovered that different typefaces seem to have different auto-leading in Pages. I am used to default leading being 120% of point size (or some consistent rule), but it seems this is not so any more. The same text in 10pt Times New Roman, which I would expect to line up with 10pt Palatino, for example, doesn't. I've tried using the inspector, at least to get both faces to behave the same for given settings, but I haven't been able to. How much control does Pages allow for this type of settings, and are there any hidden secrets as to how to do so? Many thanks
    Message was edited by: Just me then

    If you set the line spacing in the inspector to Exactly and 12 points for 10 point type, it will work the way you want.

  • Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac

    can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
    It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.

    Hi julian KAYE!
    You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.

  • Why does two iPhones show the same text

    MY sons iPhone and husbands iPhones are sharing the same texts and syncing with one another how to do I stop this

    Use a different Apple ID for iMessage on both phones.  (You can continue to share the same ID for iTunes.)
    One of you needs to go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a differert ID.  If you are sharing the same ID for FaceTime, do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime to avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls.

  • TS2755 keep receiving the same text message multiple times, at the same time of the night. How can I stop this?Thabnks

    Hi
    I keep on receiving the same text message multiple times and at around the same time each night. Any idea how I can stop this happening? The text messages are originating from to separate Saudi Arabian mobile numbers. Both these people are listed in my contacts so do you think if I delete their names it might stop the texts coming htrough each night?
    Cheers

    Deleting the people from your contacts will not stop the messages. Have you tried talking to the people and finding out if they're sending you messages? You could try contacting your carrier and finding out what blocking services they offer. However, theat would block all messages from those people.

  • Multiple Address Book Entries that all send to the same GW account ?

    Our CIO wants a few address book entries that if chosen, will all send to
    the same account.
    Seems easy enough but I haven't found a way, without creating a new account
    that has some Forward or Delegate rule.
    Is there a nicer way to do it without having another real GW account created
    and using Rules?
    I was kind of hoping to just create an External User that simply points to
    the one account but it complains that that e-mail address already exists.
    Thanks

    Why not using nick names ? The only downside is gw7 and earlier
    nicknames don't show up in the address book. GW8 does show the
    nicknames in the address book.

  • HT201229 I get my texts on my iPhone5.  I was getting the same texts on my iPad2.  Now I am not.  In detail for an old man, how do I get them synced up again?

    I receive my texts on my iPhone5.  I was getting the same texts, at the same time, on my iPad2; but now I am not.  In detail, for an old man please, how can I get them synced up again?

    The iPad is not a cellular telephone.  So "texts" that are sent using the cellular network's SMS text message system cannot go to or from your iPad.
    The only text-like messages your iPad can handle are iMessages.  iMessages can only be sent to or from Apple devices and only while both are either on WiFi or a cellular network that supports iMessaging (not all do).
