Multiple iphones on 1 apple account with one apple password. and when i airdrop my mom my number shows up as my brothers number.... this only happens on airdrop

multiple ipones on 1 apple account with one password... when i airdrop my mom it shows up as my brothers contact on her phone... what should i do?

Yes, I understand. That number can't be used for SMS, however, The iPad has no built in SMS capabilites, only iMessage. The only way you can get an iMessage to show with a phone number is if you have an iPhone tied to the same Apple ID. Otherwise, the iMessages will show up with your Apple ID. 
If you want to SMS from your iPad, you will need an app such as TextFree.

    You would have to purchase a retail Leopard installer DVD. Since they are difficult to find you may need to search on eBay, Amazon.com, and Google to find a suitable copy.
    If you have an Intel iMac, then you may want to consider upgrading to Snow Leopard which you can purchase at any Apple retailer for $29.00 versus the minimum price of $129.00 for Leopard.
    Leopard System requirements
    You must have a Macintosh computer with:
    an Intel processor or a PowerPC G4 (867 MHz or faster) or G5 processor
    a DVD drive >built-in FireWire
    at least 512 MB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended for development purposes)
    a built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    at least 9 GB of disk space available, or 12 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    Snow Leopard General requirements
    Mac computer with an Intel processor
    1GB of memory
    5GB of available disk space
    DVD drive for installation
    Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
    Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and terms apply.
    And, you could also upgrade to Lion by purchasing the Apple USB Lion flash drive installer for $69.00.
    Lion System Requirements

  • My iPod classic was frozen and I reset it. Now all it will show is an apple sign and when I try to  do anything it shows a big red X

    My iPod classic was frozen and I reset it. Now all it will show is an apple sign, and when I try to do anything It shows a big red X. What do I do?

    howdy katie
    good luck - deggie's advice is sound (no pun intended)
    be sure and take good care of your "Classic", as it truly is a classic (discontinued) - I have seen new-in-the-box on eBay for ±$499 / 160GB model - used around $150-250

  • HT1495 How do I stop SMS messages being shared between multiple iphones on my itunes account? One is my wife's, one is mine and we do not want each others messages appearing on the other.

    How do I stop SMS messages appearing on two devices on my iTunes account?
    One phone is mine, one is my wife's and we dont want messages being shared.
    We do have contacts and music etc shared.

    If your are recieving mixed information on your phone on multiple devices this is going to be related to iMessage.
    On your phone navagate to settings > messages > send and receive.
    Check the information in that section make sure it relates to your AppleID and your phone.  If you share a AppleID with the individual create a new AppleID for their device and insert that information.
    If the numbers don't remove turn of iMessage restart your phone and turn it back it.
    If all else fails disable iMessage otherwise turning it off is the quickest fix.

  • I seem to have an account set up in iCloud, but when I sign it, it does not show all of my content. It only shows a few of my apps, photo stream is missing How do I view everygthing on my iphone and ipad ?

    My iphone4 and my ipad mini were synced to my computer, but now I don't seem to be able to see all of my content nor my photo stream.  I did see everything there several weeks ago, so I know it worked. How do I access those from my computer.  I can't find how to sign on. 
    I signed on to iCloud, but it only shows the icons for Mail, Contacts, Calendar, Notes, Reminders, Find Phone, Numbers, Pages and Keynotes. Where's everything else ?
    I want to delete photos that are on my iphone, by doing so from the computer, not my phone.

    What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

    Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

  • When using Yahoo for email, the symbols for spellcheck, edit and fontsize are blank. If I hold the arrow over the space, it will show me what it is. This only happens with Mozilla, but works fine with Att.

    Where the B and i and other things are showing here are blank when
    I bring up Yahoo mail.

    If you think getting your web pages to appear OK in all the major browsers is tricky then dealing with email clients is way worse. There are so many of them.
    If you want to bulk email yourself, there are apps for it and their templates will work in most cases...

    This one will create the form, database and send out the emails...

    The alternative is to use a marketing service if your business can justify the cost. Their templates are tested in all the common email clients...

  • Can I open all of mine emails with one Master Password ?

    After entering master password, I have to enter password for each of mine email accounts also.
    Let's say for 20 accounts I must enter 20 different passwords, and it's time consuming. Can Thunderbird
    store all my passwords, so I can open all email accounts with one master password. If not can I get a Add-on or opp in order to do this, please let me know.
    Your dedicated user Tony.

    When entering the account password, check the box to remember it.

  • Multiple iCloud accounts with one Apple ID?

    We have 4 iOS devices in our household (2 iPhones, 2 iPads). We share the same Apple ID. Can we have more than 1 iCloud account with one Apple ID?
    We do not want to share our Calendars and Reminders.
    Thanks!

    Set up your mac.com account again on devices.  Turn off Mail and other data syncing with this account on your wife's devices for data that you want to keep separate.  Then set up a second ("secondary") iCloud account on your wife's devices to sync Mail.
    If you already set up a separate iCloud account on your wife's devices, on her devices go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, then sign back in your your mac.com ID.  Turn on the data you want to share with this account across all devices; don't turn Mail on.  Then go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter her separate iCloud credentials and turn Mail to On.
    The only downside to this approach is that her email will be fetch, not push email.  Push email is only supported in the main ("primary") account, not a secondary account.
    The limitations to be aware of with secondary accounts are that only the primary account can be used for Photo Stream, Bookmarks, Documents, iCloud Backup and Find My Device.  Also, push mail only works for the primary account; secondary account mail is fetch.

  • HT5621 When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    When I got my new iPhone and was trying to switch everything over I accidentally set up a new icloud account with one email and had one on my old iphone with another account. Does anyone know how I can merge the two accounts?

    You cannot merge Apple IDs but you can go to Settings > iCloud and 'Delete Account'.  When prompted to turn off documents and data, choose the only option which is Delete from my iPhone, but on the other prompt for Contacts, Calendars, etc you can choose 'Keep on my iPhone'  Then once the Account is Deleted form the iPhone, log back in with the correct Apple ID and choose Merge when prompted.  This will merge your data from this iPhone with that iCloud account effectively putting your devices on the same account.

  • How to create 2 icloud accounts with one apple id

    I would like to find out how to create 2 iCloud accounts using the same apple id. Currently, my husband's iphone4S and my iPhone 4 have merged contacts which we don't want, and when he texts it shows that it is from me.

    You can't do that.  One of you will have to create a new icloud account with a new ID and connect the device to it.
    TO GET DATA FROM ONE ACCOUNT TO A NEW ACCOUNT:
    When connected to the account you want to GET data from, Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off. 
    When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone. 
    After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    Note that this only affects the "Apple data" like contacts, calendars, reminders, etc.  Many third party apps also use iCloud to store data files there.  These files may be lost in the process, unless the apps also keep the data locally on the device.
    NOTE:  Photos in the photo stream (if you use it) will not transfer to the new account.  It is advised that you save the photos to a computer before performing the account switch. 
    CREATING A NEW ID:
    Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want.  But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
    If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account.  This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud.  Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
    To create a new icloud account, go to

  • I changed my Apple password, and now one of the iPhones on my account cannot do FaceTime.  It says that it has to be activated....help, my grand daughter is going to assassinate me!!!

    I changed my Apple password, and now one of the iPhones on my account cannot do FaceTime.  It says that it has to be activated....help, my grand daughter is going to assassinate me!!!

    Yes. I have tried that. When I use the ID I had before, it sets it up as a new account and I don't want to lose my stats attached to my old account.
    Let's say that my old nickname was "user10" and I used the email, "[email protected]" for my apple id. I changed my apple id to "[email protected]" and it changed my game center account to "mynew" and somehow I am friends with my old acct, "user10". I tried getting a password reset for "user10" but I apparently don't know my own birthday, which is possible because I usually give a false one, but the same false one each time.
