IPhoto only recognizing someone else's phone?

My boyfriend has used my Macbook a few times to charge his phone. Now when I plug mine in, iTunes shows that my phone is plugged in, but iPhoto seems to think my phone is my boyfriend's. None of my pictures show up, and my boyfriend's phone shows along the side of iPhoto. My pictures won't come up either. Just blank squares where my boyfriend's pictures would have been. Any idea how to get iPhoto to forget my boyfriend's phone?  When I click my boyfriend's phone in iPhoto, my only option is to "unmount" it. When I do that, it disappears, but it reappears when I plug my phone in again. Thanks in advance!

AT&T can't do anything other than assign a new phone number to the individual with the phone. They can't disable the iMessage activation that's tied to the number.
Did this person have an iPhone, then get rid of it, or did they just get a new number that happens to have been tied to iMessage previously by someone with an iPhone? That seems unlikely...

    How do I find someone else's phone with mine?

    Using the app, Find My iPhone, which you can download for free from the itunes app store, you can log into another person's icloud account with their ID and password and then try to track/find the device.

  • Log out of find my iPhone on someone else's phone?

    I was forced to log in on find my iphone on someone else's phone. I know the person can't track me while my location services is off but there are many times I need to use maps for directions. Is there a way to log off on their phone? (No going on there phone is not an option. This person literally showers with their phone.)
    Luckily this person does not know my apple id and password.

  • Someone else's phone number is linked to my apple ID

    I have someone else's phone number linked to my apple ID. Others are unable to reach me via my own phone number on FaceTime. Anyone who can help?

    On your iPhone go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive
    In that menu you can select/deselect what emails can use iMessage on that device.  This worked....just figured it out by dialing through menus. 

  • I went into iMessage and a weird message from someone else's phone was on my phone saying it was from me

    Well the best thing you can do is call an apple specialist tomorrow because there closed today or talk straight up to the person that is currently hacking your apple ID. You can also change your password just try to login to apple id on a computer and say forgot password and it will lead you from there. Tell your family and Friends or who you were texting that thats not you.
    I really hope the hacker goes away! I also hope this answered you question But also what type of things aree they saying just to be clear

  • Someone else's phone number showing in my "Can be reached" option ....

    My phone just gave me a notification saying "Name is now using [email protected] & 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx for Facetime and iMessage."
    When I open my settings for both Facetime, and iMessage, this persons phone number appears. I don't have it check marked, as I don't want my messages and Facetimes going to her phone. The notification only advised of the change, didn't give an option to accept or decline this change.
    Is there a way to remove my information from her device?
    Does this mean that her messages and notifications will be coming to my phone?
    ** Just as background information if it helps any, I had another iPhone that I sold to this girl. It was completely reset before I gave it to her, and she has been using it for several months now. But I am just getting this notificaton now. I obviously have her number that I can message her at if I cannot have this removed myself, but I don't have to rely on someone else to remove my information. Anyone who can offer help would be greatly appreciated.

    Not that I'm aware of, but it is possible. It was her first smart phone, so I breifly went through all the stuff she could do, so It's possible I may have linked it to something not realizing it.
    I was on my iTunes account just now and it did show 2 devices linked with iTunes in the Clouds .. so I removed the other one, but I am going to change the password now to delink it just to be sure.

  • My name is showing up as "my info" on someone else's phone

    someone else's name is showing as the owner of my phone?

    Some people have been able to resolve this bug by going to System Preferences/Sharing and turning off all sharing.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

    Or you can use your Apple ID to register with this site and go the Apple BugReporter. Supposedly you will get an answer if you submit feedback.

  • Someone else's phone number used to be assigned to an iPhone

    I am an iPhone user and I am attempting to send text messages to someone who has an Android phone.
    The messages are not being received by that person.  Apparently the receiving phone number was previously assigned to an iPhone, and my outbound message is being erroneously sent as an 'iMessage' even though the intended recipient does not have an iPhone.
    This means that someone else -- whom I do not know -- is receiving these messages.
    AT&T - the other person's carrier - has not been helpful so far.
    The problem isn't with my phone - it's working fine - it's with the interaction between AT&T and this other person's iPhone.
    How can we get this resolved?

    AT&T can't do anything other than assign a new phone number to the individual with the phone. They can't disable the iMessage activation that's tied to the number.

  • Given someone else's phone number

    I have signed up to BT for the first time and in my package should have:
    A phone line
    BT infinity
    BT vision
    Having had the engineer turn up a day later than arranged online I have been given the wrong phone number. I had the current owner of this phone number phone me last night and I passed this mistake to BT over the phone on Tuesday. I have not had a reply to let me know that someone is looking into this for me.
    I wouldn't mind, but now my BT vision is no longer working as this is linked into my phone number and not the wrong phone number that I have been given.
    Has anyone else had this issue and how long did it take for BT to correct?
    Cheers
    Mathew

    It should be fairly easy to fix, probably some crossed wires somewhere.
    Make sure that there is a fault report out for it.
    You could try Live Chat
    and see if they can give you a fault update.
    If you cannot get it resolved, then please return here for assistance.

  • Every time I try to import my photos, someone else's phone pops up. Please help!

    A couple of months ago I used someone's iPhone to get on the Internet with my computer. Now I am trying to import photos through iPhoto and that persons iPhone is popping up. No matter what I do I can't get his iPhone off of my iPhoto's. please help!

    If you are trying to upload images from your iPhone, disconnect the cable from the USB port of the computer, then connect it. 
    You should see the phone re-appear in iPhoto's left column.  If it still has your friends name, and not the name of your iPhone, then quit iPhoto, and launch itunes.  You should see your iPhone listed in iTunes.  You should be able to rename the iPhone to your name, on the summary screen.
    It sounds like someone changed the name of your iPhone.

  • Can I send an iphoto book to someone else's computer?

    Greetings! I am so frustrated! I have created an iphoto book for a student and purchased copies of the book online. No problem. The problem, now, however, is that he would like the techno version of his book. Makes sense to me. Perhaps he'd like to modify it, or whatever. But I cannot figure out how to send it to him. The only thing I can do is purchase it (which I've already done). Any help with this would be oh so gratefully received.
    Wendy

    Well, thanks so much all of you!  I'm so computer illiterate that I guess I'll need to find an in-person  mac expert to help, if help is to be had. After all of your advice, I  have tried 'printing' as a pdf. What I actually tried was emailing as a  pdf. No go. File WAY too big. I tried 'printing' as a pdf and saving to a  flash drive. I THOUGHT that would maybe work, but it didn't.
    This  is a tricky one since my student is international. We did the book in  southern Africa, he is currently living in the States, and I am  currently living in Canada. On my mac, which is where the book is in  iphoto, I can ONLY buy the book if I send it to a Canadian address. I  DID buy the book--several copies thereof--and had it sent to my Canadian  address and distributed it from there. No, however, this student would  like access to the iphoto file. Wow! I had no idea this would end up  being so difficult. Next time I create such a photo book I will try to  find another way to do it that is more flexible. I haven't tried  Shutterfly, etc...
    But, BOTTOM LINE, thank you so much to all of you who tried to help me out!
    Cheers, Wendy

  • Editing my iPhoto library on someone else's Mac

    I have my iPhoto library on an external hard drive since it's so big. My Mac is quite a few years old and I have lots of friends who have newer, more powerful machines. If I use a friend's Mac and hold down Option when starting up iPhoto, it asks me to choose an iPhoto library. I was wondering, does doing this affect the local preference file or Application Support folder on my friend's Mac, or can I do this without it modifying the files on the Mac at all? Since the iPhoto library is on my external, I figure that loading that library will modify only files and settings within that package file itself. Since I don't want to modify the settings on a friend's computer or leave any of my own information behind on a public computer, I thought it would be smart to ask how that works. Thanks for your help!

    Opening your iPhoto library will not modify your friend's computer (except iPhoto always opens the last used library so be sure to switch back before disconnecting the EHD and leaving
    Also note that if you open your library with a later version of iPhoto it will be converted and then will no longer be able to be opened with the older version

  • IPhoto only recognizing SOME photos from iPhone

    Hello all. Whenever I try to sync my iPhone with iPhoto, the normal photos taken on the camera show up and are ready to be synced. However, photos that I have taken DIRECTLY into a facebook post, tweet, or MMS message do not show up, even though they are in the camera roll on iPhone. In iPhoto an outlined square shows up in it's place. Any help?
    By the way, I'm using iPhoto 8.1.2, iPhone 4 4.0.2, Snow Leopard 10.6.4

    Sorry - meant the iPhone forum
