IOS 8 with two phones now getting messages on both

We have two iPhones and with the iOS 8 update we are now both getting the same calls, messages and calendar reminders. How can we make them both be different devices again.

I have the same problem. It seems to have something to do with the wifi area. When both phones are in the same wifi area they both get all calls but when they are not in the same wifi area everything goes to the right phones.
I found a weird entry under wifi, seeming to show that there is an automatic wifi hotspot created by the phones even though "personal hotspot" is turned off in both phones. When I remove the hotspot from the phone "forget this network" then the other phone creates another hotspot. I can't find a setting for voice over LTE which i thought might have something to do with it (that does not explain why my iPad rings when I get a phone call though (no LTE on it). I would not mind except the iPad keeps ringing for about 2 rings after I answer the phone call on the phone.
Both phones getting calls is ridiculous though. One is my daughters and I was trying to take a business call and it goes to her phone too. They are two different numbers. Are both of your phones using the same Apple ID like mine (that worked fine under IOS 7)?

I can no longer import pictures to my ibook (OSX version 10.6.8) using iphoto 09 version 8.1.2 and now get message that file is in an unrecognizable format. What is wrong? Same camera as before.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Hi there JByrd,
Let's take a closer look into this. What plan are you currently on? If you are on the More Everything plan, then you shouldn't have to do anything additional. If you are on the Nationwide plan it is an additional $20 a month for 2 GB of data. Let us know what plan you have. Thanks!

Hey Erin how about you confirm to Elector and others that you HAVE to pay for tethering on Nationwide plans and that if you are using a 3rd tethering app to bypass paying you are violating the terms of service. They don't seem to believe me.

- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?

Safari upgrade installed now getting message saying my OS X is too old. Can I re-load old Snow Leopard version 5.1 to fix the problem?

I have OS X 10.6.8. downloaded and installed upgrade for Safari. Now getting message saying application requires Mac OS 10.9 or later. Will a reload of the older Safari cure the problem or do I have to upgrade to the 10.9?

An OS X upgrade is necessary. Apple no longer supports OS X v10.6 > Apple Kills Snow Leopard: OS X 10.6 No Longer Receives Security Updates
That article, like many others released back at that time in FEBRUARY, was based upon the inaccurate assumption that because Apple did not release a security patch at the same time it did for other versions of OS X, that it must have stopped updating Snow Leopard.
Informed members of this forum have pointed out that the security flaw patched back then was not present and hence no patch for Snow Leopard was needed.
Since that time Apple has continued to support Snow Leopard, including updates for Facetime for Snow Leopard. Yes, Safari for Snow Leopard has stopped updates past version 5 and an alternative browser should be used.

In a group text with two phones that use Imessage and one that does not. The person that does not, does not get my message when its sent in group text. How do i fix this?

I have a group text with two of my friends. here's each person break down
person 1 ATT network, using imessage
person 2 verzion network, using imessage
person 3 verzion network, using SMS
All three of us are in a group chat. When person 1 sends a message, person 2 recieves it, but person 3 does not. Then when person 3 sends a message, both person 1 and 2 get it. When person 2 sends an Imessage, person 1 and 3 get it
so the problem is when person 1 sends an imessage, it doesnt change to sms and person 3 doesnt get it, but person 2's automatilly switches it to green.
How can person one get their phone to automaticlly switch it to green in group message while keeping on imessage?

The quote below from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760 indicates that it in the situation you describe it should be going as MMS to everyone -- which is not what you are seeing actually happen (and also not what you want to happen if I understand correctly). There may be something else helpful in the link.
Group messages will be sent using iMessage if all recipients have iMessage enabled. If not, the conversation will be sent as MMS. Group messages use MMS even if the content is text only.

I have 2 iphones, 1 personal and 1 for work under the same apple ID ( dont want 2 IDs) and I'd like to keep them separate from each other.When I receive phone calls and message they both get them and so does apps,how do I break the link between them?

I just my two phones to act as two separate entities and not being linked together and I don't want to create 2 apple IDs. one is for work and the other private, I don't want my private phone to get work related material and vise et versa.

As I stated in my question that I do not want 2 Apple accounts, I already have one with all my private information and it should be good enough regardless how many devices. I didn't tried the iCloud but I don't think I actually had it setup.

Smart mailbox with two adjacent terms in message content

It seems that there may not be a way to create a smart mailbox that finds mails with "pumpkin pie" in the message but ignores mails that have messages like, for example, "I thought of making a pie when the pumpkin hit me."

That’s correct. Mail Help’s “Searching your email” article mentions some operators that can be used to combine words in queries, but there seems to be no way to specify a particular sequence of words. Note, however, that:
1. Results can be sorted by relevance. The messages containing both words in sequence would appear at the top.
2. If you don’t include the quotes in the query, selecting a message in the search results pane would cause the word sequence to be highlighted in the preview pane if the message contains it -- although you won’t see it if it’s not in the portion of the message that fits in the preview pane.
3. Mail automatically puts the query in the appropriate field of the Find panel -- which you can open doing Edit > Find > Find (⌘F). This allows you to check whether a particular message contains the sequence by just doing Edit > Find > Find Next (⌘G) while viewing the message, without actually having to open the Find panel at all.
And FWIW, it isn’t possible to search for sequences of words in these forums either, which is a pain, but that’s another story...

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room both of them answer

If I use the remote with two macbooks in the same room, the two of them answer. So if the person sitting near me is doing something else I interrupt them... this is quite annoying!
Does anyone know how to solve this? Should I report it as a bug? Where?

Hi Carito,
It is not a bug, all you have to do is pairing them.

How do you share one iTunes with two phones but not get each other's apps when you sync?

My husband doesn't want to have the kid's apps or my apps download on his iphone when he syns to our one iTunes library....suggestions?

Each device will ONLY sync what you select.
Just do not select the apps that you do not want. Only select the apps that you do want.

I have been using Firefox with no problems recently updated to new version and now getting message "The proxy server is refusing connection firefox is configured to use a proxy server that is refusing connection" what do I do?? thanks

As above, was using the updated version for a short time before this happened

You may have installed an extension that made changes to the connection settings.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Updated to IOS 6.1 and now I message myself

I updated to IOS 6.1 on my 4S (finally) and now when I receive a text from a non-IOS user it comes as a group message one of the recipients being myself. When I reply I get my own message sent back to me. Why is this and how can I fix it? Never did this before the update. Nothing has changed (all contacts are the same) except IOS 6 is now on my phone instead of the IOS my 4S came with.

Could you be more specific? What in there will fix this issue?
