Try going to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive and uncheck the email address(es) shown under "You can be reached by iMessage at". If that doesn't work, you'll have to tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different Apple ID for iMessage.

HT2500 whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

whenever I open the mail application a flurry of past emails appears from nowhere. How do I stop this happening ?

1. If by flurry of emails you mean they all appear opened as if clicked on.
2. Or do you mean your inbox fills up with a whole lot of 'new' unread emails downloaded from the server, so that if you delete them they return next time you open Mail.
If it is 1. Press (three keys) Option + Command + W
This will close all mail windows including the inbox.
Then press (two keys) Command + 1
to return the inbox.
That should stop any flurry next time you open Mail
If 2., Open Mail Preferences > Accounts (select the account in question if there is more than one), click on Advanced, and where it says remove copy from server after retrieving message, select that choice and click Remove now.

I have a new iPhone 4S, have noticed when texting some of my contacts with iPhones that my text sends on imessage and the text duplicates itself. how do i stop this from happening?

I have a new iPhone 4S and have noticed that when I text a friend with an iPhone it automatically send the message via imessage and sends the text twice, how can I stop this from happening?

Your phone is setup from default with iMessage turned on. Your friends phone obviously isn't. I have a friend that has an iPhone 3G[S] with an old phone plan that didn't require a data package and he's just been swapping the sim card for 5 years. When he's at home, his phone is on wifi and it sends over iMessage. When he's at work on 3G the phone defaults back to text message because he doesn't have a data plan to send iMessage over. The phone isn't actually sending 2 messages. You send in iMessage and if the other phone is off of iMessage, it will resend to that phone as a green text message. That person never got the blue iMessage you tried to send because their iMessage wasn't working.

Set up iCloud on my iPad now when ever I text from the iPad or my phone it shows up on both devices plus my husbands phone how do I stop this

Help I set up iCloud on my iPad. Now when I text it shows up on my iPad my iPhone and my husbands phone ..how do I stop this besides deleting icloud

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Its only partly to do with iCloud and you don't need to have separate iCloud accounts to avoid this happening.
You receive messages according to the settings at settings > messages > receive at. By default this will use your phone number (on a phone) and your email address.
There are other reasons though that you may wish to have separate iCloud accounts.

I have just updated to 10.7.3 and safari always reloads previous pages I have been on every time on open it, my home page is set to google yet it always reloads from the history, how do I stop this

There is a setting in the System Preferences for this as well that may be causing it. Go to System Preferences>General>Restore windows when quitting and reopening apps - at the bottom of the window under Number of Recent items. Remove the checkmark from that setting.
Also - if you close all of your windows when you are done with Safari - it should open to your home page.

Since updating to ios 6 messages that are being sent to me are also coming through on my husbands phone. how do i stop this from happening?

since updating my iphone 4s with ios6 messages that are being sent to me are also being sent to my husbands iphone4. how do I stop this from happening?

Do you have separate apple Ids? If not, set up a new Id for one of you. Ios 6 uses the apple Id to send messages across devices, that may be the issue you are having.

HT201272 i just bought this computer and I am trying to download my library from my phone. how do I do this?

I am trying to download all of the music from my itunes account to my new imac. please nhelp

You might be able to redownload some/all of your past purchases via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage.
To copy it from your phone you might find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
And if you have music on your phone that wasn't bought from iTunes then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it back : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Or if you still have an old computer with your library on then you can copy it over from that : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

My iPad now rings when I get a call on my iPhone. How do I stop this from happening?

I updated to IOS 8 and now my iPad rings (wifi iPad air) when I get a phone call on my iPhone 5s. How do I stop my iPad from receiving telephone calls?

Hi there martyb33,
It sounds like you may have iPhone Cellular Calls enabled. Take a look at the article below for more information.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
Turn off iPhone cellular calls
To turn off iPhone Cellular Calls on a device, go to Settings > FaceTime and turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.

I have two iphone 5 when I text from one to the other the text shows up on both phones How do I stop this

I have two I phone 5's( one is my girlfriends). We shared one apple ID. When I updated one of the phones to 7.1 I started recieving her text and she is receiving mine. Also when I text here it shows up on my phone as a text to myself and also on her phone. I tried to create a seperate apple id for her phone to resolve the issue but that hasnt helped. Any suggestions would be appriciated

My wife and daughter had the same problem. Make sure the Send/Receive setting under Messages in the General section of Settings has the correct, and ONLY 1, apple id. Good Luck.

I can still use voice control to call on my locked phone - how do i disable this

I have a new iphone 5, if I push and hold the home key I can email, call, message or ask a question to siri and use the phone even though it's 'locked'. I went into password lock and switched siri off so this no longer happens - but that's not the case. Siri won't work but voice control does and I can still call round the world or email, text etc... help. This means my phone is never safe.

How long of a delay do you have for Require Passcode lock? Did you wait that long before attempting to use Siri from the lock screen?
I have a 4s and turning off Allow Access When Locked for Siri and then waiting the 5 minutes for my passcode to be required and it worked. Maybe the iPhone 5 is different?

I've had my husband's e-mail set up on my phone, but now even though i have deleted it, any messages i send from my own e-mail seem to send from his. How can i stop this?

i used to have my husband's e-mail account set up on my phone. I've since deleted it but it seems to send all messages from his account. very confusing and means i miss out on replies etc.
Any advice?

This seems to be happening to a lot of users, so I suppose the servers are down.

We have a 5s active on our account. After turning on a previously active 4s (it had the same number) The 5s can no longer place call and when you call it from another phone the 4s rings, but will not pick up. Texting over the cell networks works fine.

hens0861,
Hmm, let's ensure this is working as it should be! So what phone should be active on your account? Did you switch the devices online or how to did you activate the 5s? Please share details.
