My iphone wasn't listed in my devices. How do I stop imessage?

I researched how to stop imessage as I wasn't getting eny text responses from my iphone wielding friends.  When I went to apple support, my iphone wasn't actually listed as a device there.  My phone number was there though so I just deleted that.  Is there anywhere else I can (or should, or must) disable imessage in order for apple to stop sending itt through to my old iphone that I no longer have?
Cheers

Thanks FoxFifth, they were able to tell me what I need to tell my iPhone friends in order for them to send me texts .  Much appreciated.

  • My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    My young kids have ipads and since I updated the software, but they have their own icloud account, predictive text within their messages shows all my contacts from my iphone but the contacts are not listed as their contacts, how do I stop this?

    I have deleted the iCloud account under my name on their iPads and replaced with their ones. Apple support said yesterday I needed to click the small 'I' by each name as it came up in the TO box and remove it. After doing rid for each contact under each letter of the alphabet it should remove them from latest contacts. Having done this, although I could not remove groups I had sent, I am not convinced they will not return once I have written a few texts, any ideas?

    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

    Turn off My PhotoStream in iCloud on both the iPad and the Mac. PhotoStream is what shares your photos (unless you are using iCloud Photo Library Beta, in which case, all photos uploaded are accessible from all devices signed onto the same Apple/iCloud ID).

    This accessory is not optimal for use with this iphone keeps popping up on my phone how do i stop it?

    Can be caused by lint, dirt, or foreign material in the dock connector port and it doesn't take much.
    Can also be caused by damage to the pins in the dock connector port including moisture damage.

  • How can I stop iMessages from going to *all* of our devices?

    As many households do, we share the same AppleID so that we can share apps and information easily.  With iOS5, now we iMessage each other for free, BUT all other iMessages that we send to other iOS5 users are also blasted out to all other iOS5 devices.  My husband doesn't want to see all my texts to other people, but now there is NO WAY to send a normal text to other iOS5 users...it will only go out as an iMessage.  Is the only solution to get a separate AppleID for my husband and then buy all of our apps again for him?  That would be a huge pain, essentially requiring him to erase his iPhone and iPad and start over.  Or do I disable iMessages for him?  Is there any way to distinguish between different users within the same AppleID?

    Everyone can still use the same Apple ID. What you need to do is go into - "Settings" , "Messages", "Receive At", and add a different Email for each user for where they can be reached for messages at. Once you have added a new Email to each device delete the original Email that was there which should have been the same as your Apple ID. Then when you send a new message, send the message to the Email for that person that was just added to their iPhone. There is no need for each family member to create their own Apple ID just to use iMessage. Each family member would only need to create their own Apple ID if everyone wanted to use iCloud and not have all family members data, contacts, calendars, etc sync together. If you are also using FaceTime between iPhones do the the same thing in the FaceTime settings.

  • I have repeated devices in iPhoto; it seems that every time I plug my phone or iPad to my computer it makes a entry in devices, how do I stop this?

    I have repeated devices in iPhoto; it seems that every time I plug my phone or iPad to my computer it makes a entry in devices (if iPhoto is on or not), how do I stop this? Here is a current grab from my iPhoto screen. If I click on one of the old entries a bunch of blank squares appear for the images. The last device in the list for each phone works..

  • How do I stop iMessages coming through to all my devices?

    We have 2 iPads and 3 iPhones and all our iMessages seem to be sharing across the lot of them??? How do I isolate each device to send and receive from only 1 device at a time? This applies to every IMessage that is sent even from friends!!

    Use different email addresses - gmail - that you just use for FaceTime/iMessage.

  • When setting the midi port for an external device, how do I stop this altering the port setting for a separate external device?

    I am using Logic Pro 9.1.7.
    I have an EMU sampler set to port D.
    And a Roland JV 2080 set to port B.
    The ports refer to an external M-Audio Midisport midi interface.
    When creating a new track (brand new, not as a duplicate of another) for sounds from the Roland and setting port B in the Inspector, I find this affects certain existing tracks set to port D that are using sounds from the EMU.  The latter tracks are converted to port B.  I note that only some, not all, tracks are affected.
    If I try to change the EMU tracks back to port D, then the Roland track also switches to port D!  And so on...
    Each device has a 16-channel "instrument" in the Environment (but no virtual wiring anywhere).
    Usually, setting channels, banks and programs in the Event List for each track has been able to make things work reasonably well.
    Any suggestions that I could explore would be welcome.  Thanks.

    I haven't checked this with instrument tracks, could it possibly be you have somehow de-selected Universal Track Mode in Preferences/Audio?  It should be enabled.
