Messaging between iphone and itouch

My son just got an itouch. The other 4 people in the family have iphones. I can message him through an e-mail account, but when I do, my messages show up on his itouch and one of the other iphones in the family. (my daughter is not amused) When he messages me, the message is there, but it looks like it was sent from him and from myself (although I'm not a contact on my own phone) but I dont get a notification, or a badge on my phone, so I have no way of knowing he sent me a message. When he messages the daughter who is not amused, I'm getting the message too. All the iproducts in my family are registered to the same e-mail account so I can find them on "Find my phone" and we have one itunes account. I suspect this might be the problem, but my husband and other daughter are not recieving the messages when I message my son, nor are they recieving the messages when he sends them to me (or the daughter who is not amused) Any insight would be appreciated, I'm pretty computer illiterate. Thanks

Thanks so much you guys!
Another question...
I like sharing one itunes account for the family. We've been hacked into before and I dont want to worry about this happening to one of my kids accounts, i want to see what the kids are downloading, plus, through the cloud, we can each download apps directly onto our phone that one of the other people in the family has gotten. I want us all to be on the same Apple ID so we are all part of the same icloud (I want to be able to find everyone's iphone for those instances when the daughter who is not amused leaves her phone somewhere) Is it possible to just create a new e-mail address for my son and will that solve the message problem?
Or, if we change apple ID's for everyone will I still be able to find their iphones? Will we all have seperate clouds unable to get each other's apps?
TIA

  • Handoff not working for Mail or Messages between iPhone and Mac

    I just installed Yosemite on my rMBP and wanted to try out the cool new handoff feature, but unfortunately it's not so cool because it doesn't work.  When I start creating a new message in Mail or Messages I get the handoff icon in the dock on the left side, and when I click it the appropriate application starts and a new message appears, but the contents that I entered into the iPhone are missing.  In fact, the Mail message just says it's "Loading" (with the spinning indicator) forever and I can't use or close that window.
    I've tried rebooting both the mac and the iPhone, and tried signing out of iCloud and back in, but no luck.  Any other ideas?  Why doesn't this "just work"?

    An update on this.  Mail handoff has started working, although I don't know why.  I'm now able to continue typing on the mac where I left off on the phone.
    However, iMessage handoff has stopped working altogether.  The icon sometimes appears in the bottom left of the screen, but when I click it nothing happens.  This is still happening after upgrading to iOS 8.1.

  • Link Messaging between IPhone and IPad

    I am trying to link the messaging on my Wifi IPad (Gen3) to receive all of the messages that are sent to my Verizon IPhone. (If send from the IPad all messages/replies show up on both devices because they are linked via Apple ID) This is done through "Receive at", but what email address would I use to represent my phone number? I tried [email protected], and it sent a verification email/text to my phone, but I can't see enough of the message to click on the Confirm. So it is stuck in "Verfying" status on the IPad.
    Thanks for the help!

    Another way to receive texts and emails from other devices is through iCloud which allows you to enter your apple account # or name. You are able to control what is converted from device to device in the settings for iCloud.

  • Sync e-mail messages between iphone and Mail

    Is it possible to sync e-mail message such that when I delete messages from my iphone they go into the trash in Mail (and vice versa)?

    Alternatively, besided the above information. You can configure your pop account on Iphone to delete emails from the server when you delete from Iphone (this is the closest thing you can have without IMAP).
    which means that if you read your email on the Iphone first and delete something, and when you go back to your desktop Mail, that Mail application will not be able to retrieve the deleted emails (which you deleted via the Iphone).
    Hope this helps.

  • HT5295 How to sync between iPhone and iPad?

    How to sync between iPhone and iPad at Podcasts app?

    Please elaborate - share what?
    Just guessing here...
    Any sharing is probably a result of being logged in with the same Apple ID on both devices.
    For apps/music: Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Automatic Downloads OFF.
    For iCloud: Settings > iCloud > Delete Account.
    For iMessage: Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • ATV2, iMac, Windows 7 Laptop, Iphone and iTouch Connectivity

    Hi all,
    I am frustrated as ****. Here's the deal.
    I am running an Airport Extreme basestation (AEB) home wireless network with full connectivity from all devices to the outside world. I have my main iTunes (10.1.2) library on my iMac (OSx 10.6.6) and my son has an iTunes (10.1.2) library on his Windows 7 laptop. I have home sharing enabled on the iMac, ATV2 and Win7 Laptop all using the same Apple_ID.
    My iPhone 4 and Itouch Remote Apps (home sharing also turned on) will both connect to the ATV2 and to the Win7 iTunes library. However, while both see the library on the iMac they will not connect to it. I can also stream from the iPhone and iTouch over Airtunes to the AVT2.
    My ATV2 will see both the iMac Library and the Win7 library but will only physically connect to the Win 7 library.
    My Win 7 library can see the iMac library but won't connect to it, similar to the iPhone, iTouch and ATV2.
    My iMac library can't see the Win7 library at all. However I can connect my iMac to the windows laptop for simple file transfer between the iMac and the windows laptop and I can also play music from the iMac library over Airtunes to the ATV2.
    With all this connectivity going on I am at a loss as to why iPhone, ATV2, iTouch and Win 7 Laptop can all see the iMac library but won't make the connection to it when each one of those devices all work together perfectly fine and all devices are on the same AEB wireless network.
    This must be something very small on the iMac/Itunes side?
    Help Please......

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Is it possible to transfer music between iPhones and iPods with out using iTunes

    Nope.  Both require iTunes on a computer to sync music from.
    Unless the iPod is an iPod Touch and the music was bought from iTunes.  In which case the Touch can simply go to the iTunes App, under Purchased  and download the purchased songs for free.

  • Best Practice for update to iPhone and iTouch

    OK, when 3.0 comes down the pike, what is the best way to get 3.0 as a "clean" install? Currently 2.2.1 is on both. If I do a restore, will the system only pick up 3.0 or will it see 2.2.1 which is currently on the hard drive? With that in mind, how can I delete the 2.2.1 version of the iPhone and iTouch software? Sorry for two question in one post.
    Steve H

    When firmware update 2.0 was released, the entire iPhone was eraseed first including the existing firmware - just as when restoring an iPhone with iTunes, followed by 2.0 being installed, which was followed by the iPhone's backup being transferred to the iPhone.
    The same may apply with firmware update 3.0 with your iPhone's backup being updated immediately before. If not, firmware version 2.2.1 will be updated with 3.0.
    If 2.2.1 is updated and you want a "clean" install of 3.0, you can follow the initial upgrade by restoring your iPhone with iTunes.

  • How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

    How do I sync a PDF file between iPhone and iPad in iBooks?

    If the PDF supports it then you can try opening the PDF in iBooks on your phone and use the 'share' icon (the square with the upward pointing arrow) to email it to yourself (some PDFs a protected and don't support emailing) and use 'open in' in the Mail app on your iPad to copy it to its Mail app.
    Or you can connect the phone to your computer's iTunes and do File > Devices > Transfer Purchases to copy it over to your iTunes (that should copy PDFs and/or epubs that are in the iBooks app, not just ibooks) and if using a Mac with Mavericks or Yosemite on it then do File > Move Books From iTunes in its  iBooks app, and you can then sync it to your iPad.
