IPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. I want this stopped
My granddaughters iPods and my iPhone have linked text messages. How do I stop this?
If they have the same Apple ID, that is why it is happening. If the phone is using the phone number, remove the Apple ID from the Send & Receive section on the phone. That way it is only using the phone number. Then check the iPod and you can remove the phone number from that list of Send & Receive as well, so it is only using the Apple ID.

Hi,
I have used itunes for years and recently found as my collection grew, so the space on my PC shrunk. I tried keeping it all on a hard drive but it seemed like itunes wanted to keep reverting to the PC drive and I would lose all the CDs I had spent ages putting on. This has happened to me at least 3 times so I am getting really frustrated with it now.
I am looking for a simpler option. icloud seems like a great idea as long as I can get access to my music whether or not I have internet - which is sometimes patchy where I live. Also, I would need the cloud to be able to share different music across different devices such as an ipod and other iphones.
Can anyone guide me on this?

Can I set up a cloud account and then upload all of my music from the nano?
No. An iPod Nano has no internet access.
Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
Syncing to a "New" Computer or replacing a "crashed" Hard Drive -
I have three iPads and one iPod and one iPhone. How can I message between them without sending the message to all of them. You send the message to your email address but all of them are set up under one account.
You can have a different receiving email in the Messages app on each device : Settings > Messages > Receive At . I'm not sure that there is a different way to have the message only go to one device.

Is there a way to restore text messages back to my iPhone 5s version 7.1.1? I have several text messages that have been deleted somehow and I would like to restore them to my phone.
I have tried restoring it from the last backup and that did not help. Please advise.
GMHi
If you have already tried restoring from the latest back up but that has not worked unfortunately they have probably gone im afraid
Hope this helps -
I have an ipod and an Iphone 5. My computer crashed and I lost my itunes on my computer. Is there a way to link my devices to my computer to put my music back on my laptop.
If your music is all purchased from iTunes, you can log back in with the same Apple ID, authorize the computer and get your past purchases back. If not, then see this document put together by another user. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141

I have 2 iphones and when i send a text message, it shows on the other iphone. How do i change this?
Go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and do one of the following:
Either uncheck the email address shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on both of your phones; or
If you want to continue to receive iMessages at this email address on one of your devices, on the other phone tap the Apple ID at the top, sign out, then sign back in using a different Apple ID (so both phones are using a different Apple ID for iMessage). Note: you can continue to share an Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores. It does not need to be the same as the ID you are using for iMessage, FaceTime and other services. -

I don't have Internet on my iPhone 4 because I have go phone. Will on the next update fix it so where I can send and get picture in a text message?
What worked before doesn't matter. AT&T does not permit the use of pre-paid SIMs in the iPhone, including Go Phone SIMs. They will disable data on the account if they detect one being used.
The fact is, you can't do that. -
I send an email from my Iphone to a friend. My friend receives it on her Iphone, but as text message. She replies and it goes back to my daughter's phone, a completely different email and phone number. Why?
We went through my friend's phone and my daughter's email and phone number are not in it. I have never given my daughter's iphone number to my friend. Is it something to do with gmail or my apple id? My daughter (14) has been using my computer as her "base" for HER Iphone.
My friend does use her iphone number as an email address as well.
For instance: her phone number might look like this: (493) 305-3958
and her email address would look like this: [email protected]
If I Iphone/email my friend, she receives it as a text message. Then if she replies to that text message, it goes to my daughter's phone and not mine. It's completely crazy! We searched her phone contacts and did not find my daughter's phone number anywhere or attached anywhere to mine. Since when does Iphone emailing wind up in the text messaging area? -
OK....... I have an Ipod and an Iphone. Would like all the Movies and music i have on both. My computer broke and now the only music i have is on ipod. It wont let me transfer to itunes. It says this device is linked to a different library and if i want to sync to a new one and delete everything on it. UH....NO Is there a way to do this without deleting ? All purchases were made though the same apple id.
- An iPod can only sync with one iTunes library. Yu can however manage music and videos among different computers by:
Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
- To change syncing computer, move all the media to compute r#2
- Connect the iPod to #2 and make a backup by right clicking on the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
- Restore the iPod from that backup
Note tha the iPod backup the iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. -
I recntly got a iphone and i gave my daughter my ipod and we only have one apple id, is there a way to seperate the two so I don't see her instant messages? or do we have to have seperate apple IDs?
Create a second Apple ID for a separate iCloud account. You can still share the Apple ID for iTunes purchases, but separate for the cloud.

ICal reminders for iPod and notebook battery have broken links
iCal reminders for iPod and notebook battery have broken links and are not functioning. I went to http://www.apple.com/batteries/ipods.html and midway down on the right side is a link to install a ical reminder. That link does not work with my laptop.
It sends me this link "webcal://www.apple.com/images/ipod_icalreminder.ics" but I immediately get an email message stating:
Error subscribing to the calendar
No calendar was found on http://www.apple.com/images/ipod_icalreminder.ics. Please check the URL.
Likewise, the same thing happens for my notebook. Is there another URL or does anyone have connections at apple to reinstate this dead link.Hope this helpful.

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.
Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it. -
How do I get my iphone 4s to remind me once that i have a text message?
How doo I get my iphone 4s to remind me once that i have a text message?
Apart from the "text tone" that you can select from SETTINGS - SOUNDS, you can also customize the reminder/notification in SETTINGS - NOTIFICATIONS - MESSAGES
You can choose the alert style; number of times it would alert you (Max 10 times) and select to view the message in locked screen. -
My Iphone 5 will not notify me when I have a text message. There is not banner notification, not sound, or vibration. I have to click on the message icon to even see if I have a text message.
Settings app > Notification Center > Messages (you will need to check both the INCLUDE and DO NOT INCLUDE sections). Set the alerts you wish to see.
