My email on my wifes phone?

Let me start by saying my wife and i both have 3gs phones and SHARE an itune account. So, i either log in with my email or hers depending on whos phone is getting synced. Now for my question..........I just went on to my wifes phone to update her apps that need to be updated. I hit "update all" and when the little log in window popped up asking for the password i noticed it had MY email and not hers under the "Apple ID password" heading! Her password wouldnt work, obviously because it has my email on her phone. Im totally confused here. Could it be that i accidentally synced up her phone last time under my account? PLEASE any feedback would be super appreciated, as well as anything i should do to fix this. Im syncing her phone as we speak under her account, im hoping this will fix the problem. Thanks everyone! Owen
UPDATE: I just finished the SYNC and its still showing my email in the window! I checked her account info on the phone in settings and it has her info...meial and password. I cant figure out why this is happeneing! Please help!

You are very welcome.

When I send a text to my email, my wifes phone recives it as an iMessage.

After setting up all 3 of our iPhone 3GS phones on iCloud so we could us ehte find my phone feature an anoying thing happened. When I send a text message to my email address my son's phone and my wifes phone recive that message as a text message. Also when she texts me I recive it as if it is coming from my email address. I went threw my contacts any my email is not associated with her contact.
After a trip to the apple store we found out that suposedly it was because we all share the same iTunes account. So I created an apple ID for my wife and my son and set the iCloud to use thier respective accounts. It appears that my sons phone does have the issue anymore but my wife and my phone still have the issue.
A side note, my Son's phone when plugged into the computer (windows 7) pops up labled his phone. When my phone or my wifes phone is plugged in it just says Apple iPhone. It doesn't show our iPhones name. iTunes does show the proper name though.
This is a very anoying thing and I would love to get it resolved with out having to go back to the apple store.

Had the same problem and trying to remember how I fixed it. Let's see...
Try this:
1) Settings > Messages > Receive At > Use your Apple ID for iMessage > make sure you are logged out from Apple / iTunes.
2) under "You can be reached for messages at:" > make sure only your phone number shows and no email address.
Hope that works, if not I just can't remember what else I did. However I got it working so that my tel number now shows to iMessage recipients instead of my email address.

Email and big wifi problems.

Email and big wifi problems.
Why does it take 6 minutes to send a photo attachment when my iphone 4 will do it in 30 to 40 seconds ?
Why will my email account be recognised and log on only half the time?
Why does the wifi keep dropping out?
Why does the speed and signal vary when I'm sitting two feet away from by wifi router?
All settings in my phone have been reset twice as per advice from vodapone

Thanks very much, jjgraphics. I will grit my teeth and try India once more, as you suggest, and then get in touch with the moderators.

Trouble sending email when on Wifi.

Can't send email when on Wifi, but can send when on 4G or maybe 3G - I forget. Can receive emails fine on both. To further confuse things I have three email accounts on my phone, two of them have no trouble sending or receiving when on either wifi or 4G.. I've checked and compared settings dozens of time.
I have a private hosted email account (not sure if that is the right word) But I don't have google, AOL, or something like that..
Thanks

"But wouldn't I be using the same outgoing mail server if I was wifi or 4G?"
Yes it would be the same. Maybe I'm too tired to figure this out.
The only other thing that comes to mind is that your wifi router's firewall may be blocking that port. But if that were the case, your PC or Mac wouldn't be able to send mail either.

My phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

i have a iphone 5 and my phones imessege has not been working, it connects to my email but not my phone number it says its an option but its in grey and i am not able to click it as an option

Depending on what iPhone you have when you get to the connect to wifi you should be able to activate your device over cellular data. Try doing a hard reset by holding the home circle button an power button until an apple pops up and the go through the setup again and when you get to the wifi part a option should be setup with cellular data iPhone 4 and above should give this option sometimes doesn't like showing up that's why u have to do a hard reset first

Having trouble setting up email account on wifes iphone

My wife just got an iphone 4s and I have been unsuccessful in setting up her email account on the phone. I went through the step by step procedures. When I submit it always gives me a wrong user id or password message. I even went into the system and reset the password. Her email is a sub-account of mine. The email worked fine on her Samsung II, but now I can't get it to operate on the iphone.

I was having the exact same issue. It was driving me crazy. Just as a fluke, I tried logging in to my wife's account on the verizon.net website to se if I had a bad password or something. As soon as I logged in on my computer, her account verified & installed on her iphone. I have no idea why, but it worked.

Email problem on wifi

I have been having a problem sending emails while on Wifi. I can receive fine. I do not have this problem if I turn 3G data back on.

Sending and receiving email use different servers and different settings. It sounds like you have only your carrier's outgoing (SMTP) server configured. You need to define a 2nd SMTP server connection on your phone to connect to your ISP's outgoing server. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1385

Imessage on Mac has my wifes phone number and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number (on the beta version of iMessage for the mac)

hey-- so iMessage on ONE computer has my wifes phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out and i cant change it to my number. any ideas? ive done what people have suggested on these forums, e.g., check your apple id make sure your number is associated with it etc. how do i change the iMessage number from my wifes to my actual number? thanks! R

HI,
This can depend on the the Apple ID that is used.
I was under the impression that the invididual parts of an iCloud ID could be "registered" separately for iMessages but this may not be correct.
I have an Apple ID that is based on a email from a source external to Apple. (an old Dial-up account email)
I registered this for iCloud and at the time got an @me.com name as well.
I also have two iPhones so I decided to use the @me.com name on one iPhone and the older Dial-up on the other.
This seemed to work up to the OS X10.8.2 and iOS 6 updates.
AT this points I did the OS X one first then the iPhones
I got alerts in Messages on the Mac to add the Dial-up ID iPhone's number to Messages which I accepted.
The Messages Menu > Accounts > iMessages showed the iPhone Number as an alternative Receive ID and offered itself in the Drop as the Send from ID.
I then set up the second iPhone and got an alert in Messages to add the Apple ID and the iPhone number to Messages.
I said no to this.
At iOS 6 this did not get added to the Messages > Preferences > Accounts > iMessage panel.
However at iOS 6.0.2 the iPhones are showing their own Numbers as Greyed out and even though I refused again the @me.com ID and second iPhone's Number they have been added to the Message Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages pane although they are not ticked.
The only link these two Apple ID Names have is that they are both associated with the iCloud Account.
(I Can log in to the same iTunes account with either name, and post here, and access iCloud in a web browser - the password is the same).
I have successfully managed to get one iPhone to have it's greyed out Number ticked so it can accept iMessages sent to the Number.
This involved removing the Apple ID on that iPhone, Closing iMessages, restarting iMessages and then re-adding the Apple ID
I did get an alert to say the ID would not work anywhere in iMessages when removing it.
It was 24 hours before I got an alert in Messages again to add the iPhone Number and Apple ID (I said no and they are not active but do show in the iMessage account on the Mac)
I am a little confused by this bit:-
...ONE computer has my wife's phone number in under iMessage and its greyed out ...
I can see the iPhone Numbers in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts >iMessages Account pane but they are not greyed out even when not active
They are only greyed out on the iPhone's themselves.
I would also make sure the Apple IDs used on each computer and it's related iPhone are separate from each other.

My icloud and Apple ID aren't the same email address. My phone wont let me change my icloud email. I don't know the password to my icloud account, and every time I try to email myself the password, it doesn't go through.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Your Apple ID and iCloud email address don't need to be the same, you can't change an iCloud email address.
Also check your Mail rules and filtering, the verification mail may be going to a junk folder or even being deleted altogether. You may also wish to contact your mail provider to see if their spam filters are removing the email before it gets to you.

My iMessage won't activate my email but will with phone number. I type my password and it says it's wrong I change it and it still says its wrong. I even made a new account and it still says the password is wrong.

2 iphones 1 computer. updated my wifes phone to ios 5 her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts are on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user accounts on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal?

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??

Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.

HT201365 I have 2 email accounts in my phone. After upgrading when I open email, both accounts are combined under "All Inboxes".How can I seperate them like they were before the upgrade.

I have 2 email accounts in my phone. A gmail acct and an Outlook acct. After upgrading to 7 there is only 1 inbox and it is titled "All Inboxes". This has combined both email accts into one list. How do I seperate the inboxes and be able to open each account seperate?

In Mail app, on the upper left side you will see <Mailboxes Click on that and you can select individual email acounts or choose to have them all in one.

How can I delete my old email accounts on my phone...

i have several email account that i cant seem to be able to delete on my nokia n97 mini series.
Moderator's note: We amended the title of this post as we moved it to the most appropriate board.

Hi, mpeza. @Srikanthsd's suggestion should enable you to delete your email accounts on your phone. If this doesn't work, you can share with us the error message that you are getting, if there's any. Also, rebooting the phone would be a great idea to refresh the phone's software. To do this, kindly turn off the phone, remove the battery and wait for a few seconds. After that, return them back to their proper place and switch it on. Keep us posted.

I have an iphone 3gs. I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone. Everytime I update, it reloads all of the emails as new unread emails. Is there any way to either delete all or alternatively stop it from reloading all prior emails?

I have an iphone 3gs. I have 7 separate email accounts on the phone. Everytime I update the phone, it reloads all emails received as new unread emails. I can click each one, move them to trash and then delete all. However, I am wondering whether there is any way to either (a) delete all from the inbox or (b) stop them from reloading?
Thanks

Hello Kizzyk,
I would start with taking a look at the settings to make sure that you are able to send and receive messages. If everything looks good then the next step would be to remove the accounts and add them back in. Take a look at the article below for more information and details on how to troubleshoot your issue further.
