Is it possible to change IMessage accounts without changing Apple ID accounts?, How do I change IMessage accounts without changing Apple ID accounts?

My family and I have been sharing the same Apple account for awhile now to share apps, contacts Etc.  That's great and all, but because we share the same account on multiple devices, whenever we use iMessage, all replies show up on all devices.  I wanted to keep the Apple ID, so I changed the iCloud account to mine, but when I messaged a friend, but it still popped up on everyone's device.  Is there anyway I can fix this?

Use a free email address (gmail.com?) on each device.

  • Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID from one account to match the second account, without losing the information on each account?

    Recently, I discovered I have two iCloud accounts. Is it possible to change the Apple ID for one of the accounts to match the other account, without losing the information from either account.
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It's a little tricky to move data from one iCloud account to another but it can be done. But what makes you think you have 2 iCloud accounts.

  • Is it possible to recieve imessages without sending them?

    My phone plan has unlimited texting but an extremely finite amount of data, so to save money I prefer to send and recieve sms text messages rather than imessages. Initially I had imessages completely turned off, but since I couldn't recieve imessages people thought that I was ignoring them when I wasn't. I just never got there imessage. (Why the stupid imessage system wouldn't change the message to sms or at least inform the sender that the message couldn't be recieved is annoying and a whole other problem, but I digress.) So I turned my imessages back on, but the dilemma of not wanting to waste my data by sending imessages still remains, and now every text I start wants to send as an imessage. So I ask my question: Is it possible to recieve imessages without sending them?
    On a related note, is it also possible to retrieve imessages that were sent to, but you never recieved because you had imessages turned off?
    Thanks! I really appreciate your help.

    Does anyone no anything about this? Thanks!

  • If not possible to change, can i keep my email for firefox sync if that email account is closing down by its provider?

    i have just figured out after searching, that it is not possible to change my email for my firefox sync.
    it is already a nightmare for me that nokia email provider just simply closes down my account which i use for EVERYTHING in my life...
    i have somany account to change the email in it, but firefox sync doesn't allow me to do that.
    i really don't want to lose any details of my mozilla settings, so will it be possible to keep it with a non-existing email?
    or is there a way to open a new account with a new email and merge my settings to it?

    Doesn't sound like you are using Firefox Sync for its intended purpose. Plus, it sounds like you ''might'' be leaving your Sync data "all over the place" - using Sync on computers owned by strangers.
    Sync doesn't just "use" your Firefox data in real-time from the Sync server, it '''''downloads''''' your data to each device that you connect to your Sync account. That data remains on each device until it is removed manually. And if you didn't "unlink / disconnect" that computer when you were done using it, Sync will stay connected to your Sync account until the "owner" of that device gets tired of seeing "his data" get changed as your data changes. Plus, unless you manually remove your Sync username and password data from the Password Manager, that other person might be able to re-connect to your Sync account at will.
    Of course, the risks you are taking by doing that depend upon which types of data you fed to Sync in the beginning. Hopefully at least not Passwords.''
    IMO, you would be better off carrying a USB stick around with a copy of Firefox Portable to use on Windows computers that you don't own or don't have exclusive control over. Sync will work between "Portable" and regular Firefox, even when they're both being used on the same device, at the same time.
    That will "fix" two things - it will give you a 2nd "device" ''[even when plugged into your own computer]'' and it will allow you to use your own Firefox installation on on another persons computer without "sharing" your Sync data with that other person, where such is allowed by "permissions set on that device''. Nothing that you do will appear on any device that the USB stick is plugged into, at least as far as Firefox is concerned. That applies to any "loaner" computer that you might use, too.
    http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable
    As far as setting up a new Sync account goes, your data is in Firefox ''[even when it is in Sync, too]'' - so just "disconnect" from your current account, and then set up a new new account. At the end of the setup procedure the Sync service will automatically "Sync" your data to the new account, and you'll be "good to go".
    I highly encourage you to do the Firefox Portable on USB stick as I mentioned above, because it sounds like the way that you have been using Sync sounds very risky with your data. Once your data gets Sync'd to another persons computer its "meshes" with their data and is all but impossible to remove completely - unless the person set up a Logon User Account specifically for you and then deleted that LUA after you were done.'' Doubtful, because from what I have seen the "average" PC owner has no concept of what a Logon User Account is all about.
    In conclusion, ''tell me that you weren't sync'ing your Password data''.

  • Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?

    Dear Colleagues,
    Is it possible to change the chart of accounts in Oracle Financials?
    Thank you in advance.
    Andrey

    It is not an easy change. Oracle typically recommends against it but sometimes company structure or processes change so much that you are forced to do it.
    Take a look at http://www.vantagesolutions.com/media/SCOUG_May_2004.pdf as well as http://www.erpstuff.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6381.
    If you google "change oracle chart of accounts", you will find some more hits as well. This is a big project.
    If you other business reasons to do a reimplementation, then changing COA as part of that will be very easy.
    For a lot of companies debating between reimplementation and upgrade, a need to change COA becomes the last straw in favor of reimplementation.
    Hope this helps,

  • Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking?

    Is it possible to change the page of a linked PDF without relinking and going through the import options?
    I'm trying to import seveeral pages of the same PDF. The process would be quickest if I could import it once, then duplicate the image box a number of times, then just change the page number each image box is linking to.
    At the moment I'm having to relink (or place), then go through Import Options, then choose the page - it's a long process that feels like it should be quicker.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The short answer is no, that's not possible, but it IS possible to import multiple pages at one time.
    My favorite script for this is from Scott Zanelli: InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Zanelli Releases MultiPageImporter for Importing both PDF and INDD Files, but there's also a sample script included with ID.

  • I recently lost my iphone 4 and have an iphone3 on loan until I get upgrade in Aug.  I want to sync my data - contacts most important  - from my itunes account...is this possible?  Is it possible to change the user ID on the borrowed phone to my ID?

    I recently lost my iphone 4 and have an iphone3 on loan until I get upgrade in Aug.  I want to sync my data - contacts most important  - from my itunes account...is this possible?  Is it possible to change the user ID on the borrowed phone to my ID?

    There are no contacts in itunes.
    Your contact should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.  Just sync them to the new one.
    Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals
    Changing the itunes account on nthe iphone is covered there as is restoring the iphone as new or from backup.

  • HT204053 is it possible to change your account to a new icloud ID?

    Is it possible to change your name in [email protected] and transfer your account space and material saved from the old account to the new one?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Unfortunately it's not possible to change that address and if you create a new account you can't transfer your existing content.
    if you don't like the email address you have created, you might create an alias and use that instead.

  • I have taken a 12 month membership for cc and photoshop.  I now see that adobe are offering the same product for only $9.99 per month including lightroom, whereas I am paying $19.99 a month. Is it possible to change plans without any penility payments.

    I have a monthly membership to Photoshop CS6 costing $19.99 per month on a 12 month membership.  I now see that Adobe are offering the same product for only $9.99 per month.  Is it possible to change plans with any extra costs to me. Thankyou

    Hi rjmo
    Yes, you can switch to the Creative Cloud Photography Plan without penalty.
    Please check this doc for the differences between this plan and the Photoshop single app plan you have currently: Photoshop Help | Differences between Photoshop and Creative Cloud Photography Programs
    Let me know if you wish to proceed with the switch and I can arrange it.
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to change the @... of the Admin account?

    Hi there!
    Is it possible to change the @... for direct notifications?
    I would like to change @conchipizzuto to @adminsocialcast.
    First I thought I would use companies' address both for personal use and admin purpose.
    Now I would like to use two accounts. One for admin purpose only, and one for regular and personal use to interact as a normal user.
    Thanks in advance!
    Warm regards,

    Hi Conchi,
    User roles and names can be managed in Admin Settings > User Management. The @-mention will be tied directly to the users first and last name on the account. Hope that helps!
