Why does my friends name appear as some of his friends names? Everytime he logs on and off, his name seems to change from one of his friends name to another. Never his own name. I do not have the users his name gets changed to on my contact list.
He doesn't to this him self. What can it be?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Have you checked if AirDrop is detecting another computer? Maybe that computer is the one that has got the name you don't want to use for your MacBook Air. If not, open System Preferences > Sharing, and change the MacBook Air's name

I recently imported the album Hall of Fame by Big Sean into my iTunes. I have the music in my iPhone. When i go to search for Big Sean in my phone under the "artist" section, his name comes up, but the Hall of Fame album is not one of the albums listed. However, if I search for Hall of Fame under the "album" section, it appears. I've tried everything to make the album appear under his name on the "artist" section, but it won't. Help would be greatly appreciated!
Check the "get info" screen of the album, and other Big Sean content. It's the .... meta data (for lack of the correct term) provided with the content. You may need to edit the data so that the content filters like you want.

Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone
Until yesterday I could text to non-Apple friends from both my iPhone 5S (iOS 8.1.2) and my iPad Air 2 (iOS 8.1.2). Then for several hours last nothing was deliverable unless to another iPhone or iPad. Today, once again, I can text to non-Apple friends from my iPhone but not my iPad. On the iPhone there are buttons for MMS & SMS messaging, but not on the iPad. What happened?
Thank you,
bobbiI was having this problem today with my 6 plus and my air 2. Additionally, I kept getting the message that iMessage needed to be turned on to send my messages. It was turned on in both devices. I wonder if there was a problem at Apple. My carrier is t-mobile, perhaps there could be a problem there.

I am trying to share calendars with my husband (using Google calendars). He can see my calendars, but I am having trouble seeing his. We both use iPhones. We both have company email addresses. I have had to install and uninstall my gmail info on my iPhone multiple times due to errors sending and receiving emails from my company email address on my phone. For some reason, all of my emails are getting stuck in my outbox when my gmail account is installed on my phone. When I delete it, my emails get sent automatically. This is really annoying! I would do without the gmail account, but I need to share calendars with my husband. How do I fix this?
If you have two-step verification turned on in your email account, you'll have to log in with a browser and turn it off.

When recording a video, only the microphone pointing away at the subject appears to function. Can both microphones be on for both of us?
I'm in telecom sector working for all providers in suriname. I just came from the company that supports 3g on 850mhz.
They did a trace om the imei/imsi.
The ipad 2 connect to 3g networks(seen at switch level) and the ipad3 never tries to connect to 3g it goes directly to edge. It not that it fails or smth similair it just doesnt connect 3g network.
I think the att 3g is locked because as above the att 3g sim with international data works on the same network on 3g.
I'm going to buy a verizon version as both have same umts:hspa frequencies on lte differ and here we don't have lte.
I have seen the verizon version working on hspa+(4g) att network.
I know for a fact that the 3g freq is not lock. I'll keep everybody posted.
I'm going to test the just installed(we installed hauwei equipmenth 3g network different carrier. This carrier is on 2100
From research i know att uses 850/1900 mhz for umts/hpsa in the usa -

Creating PDF from multiple files results in file name AND chapter name both appearing in TOC.
And all the bookmarks in that chapter nest directly under the file name. I would rather have just the chapter title appear with no file name in the TOC and the chapter bookmarks nested under that.
Hi tekwrite1955,
This is an expected behavior. When you create a pdf from any file it will list the filename in the TOC.
You have to manually edit the bookmarks.

Why is the new iOS6 using iMessage and FaceTime and sharing messages across all iPad, both iPhones, and friends messages coming in are sent to all units? SHARING??? How do you fix this?
HI,
On the iPhone and iPad you can "turn off" the Apple ID in Settings > Messages > Received At (and possibly) > Caller ID.
iOS 6 will delete the email/Apple ID across all devices (you get a warning) but presumably Messages is either left alone on the Mac or you add the ID back in again.
AS has been said you can then set up each device with it's own Apple ID

Hubby and I both have our iPads, laptops, and apple/iCloud id's. We both sync everything to iCloud. My iPad is the newest device - got it about a month ago.
I have created many inbox folders on my laptop in my email. We just noticed that many of my inbox folders are showing up on his iPad in Notes. They look like "major headings" or "categories" for lack of a better term. There are no notes or anything under any of these categories. We've tried to delete these "categories" from his Notes, but can't do it. What's happening, and how can we fix this?If you are using a PC, log on to iCloud using Safari (rather than Explorer) to reset the photostream. Then turn iPhone/iPad photostream off and back on. I was getting the same server error as you and this advice from another blog worked for my iPhone and iPad. But I still can't get photostream deleted from my apple tv. There does not seem to be a photostream on/off control In Apple tv 4.4 software. I tried switching the screen saver to one of the ones that comes preloaded on the device, then back to photostream but all the old photos are still there. If anyone can help with this, I would appreciate it.

Updating new iPad.
Yes, once he syncs it on the computer. This is not a good idea, however.
Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library. Note that once done you cannot "share" apps under a single Apple ID. Each of you must purchase your own apps under your own Apple ID. When you decide to split up like this one of you will need to re-purchase the apps that they want to use.
Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data. Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted. Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

I have put a few audiobooks on my ITunes and wanted to play them on my ipod. However, they don't come up either my artist or album lists, despite appearing to be present when I look at them on the computer ITunes. I tried to make them easier to find by making a playlist, but the problem remains - present on the computer but not there on my ipod. Its like they are invisible on my ipod!
Has anyone come across this sort of problem before? How can I fix it?I don't know if it's considered a problem, I think it's just part of the design of the program. Some might consider it a flaw in the design. But at least you've found a workaround.

The Apple ID that appears in my iCloud account is different from the one I use every time I' m requested by Apple. I forgot the password for the iCloud id. I need to know how to change the iCloud id and make them both the same.
Is this a second hand iPhone?

I've turned on sharing in Itunes.
Hello steppenwiener,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your Apple TV connecting with your iMac. It sounds like you are not seeing the AirPlay icon in iTunes on your iMac. I recommend the following steps:
Resolution
Try these steps first:
Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
iTunes for Mac: Choose iTunes > Check for Updates
iTunes for Windows: Choose Help > Check for Updates
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices' software is up to date.
Verify that all your AirPlay-enabled devices are connected to the same home network.
Note: Some Wi-Fi network configurations offer a guest network that can block certain Internet services from working or seeing other devices on your home network.
If the AirPlay icon doesn’t appear in iTunes
Ensure that you followed these steps to use AirPlay in iTunes.If the AirPlay icon still doesn't appear, try one of the following steps:
If you want to AirPlay to an Apple TV, ensure that AirPlay is enabled on the Apple TV. From the Apple TV main menu, go to Settings > AirPlay. This should be set to On.
If you want to AirPlay to an Airport Express, ensure that AirPlay is enabled in the device settings.
If you want to AirPlay to a 3rd party AirPlay-enabled device, refer to the user guide.
