My phone name comes up when my wife calls from her phone

For some reason, my wife's Iphone shows up as my Iphone name when she makes calendar appointments and when she calls people. I have here number in my contacts so I do not see that My name shows up when she calls other people. How do we set her phone so that when she calls people, the caller ID comes up as her name. Also, how do we change it so that when she sends a calendar appointment, It comes up as her appointment and not mine?

When my wife calls me her number shows up blocked on my phone, what do we need to do so her number shows up on my phone?

When my wife calls me it shows up blocked only when she calls, when she calls anyone else it does not show up blocked, I'm guessing there is something in her settings that I cannot find.

On her phone, verify that Settings > Phone > Show My Caller ID > On.

TS4185 Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there?

Just downloaded FACETIME on my 4yr. olf Imac running Snow Leopard. When making a call to my friend's Imac all works correctly going both ways. When my wife calls me via Facetime from her Ipad, I cannot click on "accept"- not there? When called by the Imac (newest), the "accept" or "reject" radio button appears for me to click and connect. On my wife's Ipad the two radio buttons always appear when a call actiivates Facetime and comes on?
There is nothing I can find in "Preferences" in Facetime to turn that on or off. I suspect it has to do with having a more current operating system; that the "controls" are in the operating system? [I'm guessing] It's frustrating getting Facebook calls from several friends on Ipads! Any ideas...VFP

I suspect it has to do with not having a more current operating system
Exactly, what Apple is doing is leveraging new features only on newer OS X versions to force you to upgrade OS X to 10.7 or later.
What they don't tell you is 10.7 or later will NOT run your PowerPC based software, some of it you can't get Intel versions like for perfectly working printers, scanners and games etc. So it can be a very expensive OS X upgrade to 10.7 or later with third party software.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also they don't tell you is the risk in bricking your machine if the update goes badly, so you have to have AppleCare in case that occurs so it's on them to fix it. Else your paying money to replace the logicboard or buying a new machine prematurely.
A four year old machine can't have AppleCare, it's only good for 3 years from date of purchase new.
Your machine came with a boot hard drive, it's usually got about 4-5 years of life on it, then it needs to be replaced.
Also they don't tell you the newer OS X version has more abilities and features that causes your machine to slow down in performance, especially on older machines.
Also they implement new, idotic and extremely fustrating new user interface features in a arbitrary "you take it or leave it" manner with little or no fall back method.
So upgrading OS X is a gamble on older machines that otherwise would likely work perfectly fine for the next 5 years if one didn't need to have to mess with it.
Since Snow Leopard has slightly over 25% OS X version market share, your still good for security updates etc for the next few years if you just want to stay where your at and be happy.
OS X 10.4/10.5 need to upgrade, 10.6.8 ok still
The Lions are, well, not so welcome due to Scott Forstall retard UI issues, OS X Mavericks 10.9 is likely going to fix things a bit better.
But basically what is occuring is Apple is trying to force a faster hardware upgrade cycle with the more expensive products by leveraging features on the smaller devices that expire sooner.
Apple is a hardware company that leverages whatever it can to get you to buy more hardware, it's why they are as rich as they are.

When will Wifi-calling be extended to other 'capable' handsets?

When will WiFi calling be extended to other 'capable' handsets? I have never met a company that operate in such an opaque fashion and seem content to leave their subscribers in the dark. If there is no news on this soon I intend to pursue a premature end to my contract.

I can go to another network that would give me an app for calling and texts. No Wifi calling but at least I would have connectivity when I am in my office which has no EE coverage. EE can't offer me Wifi calling or even a promise of it in the future neither can they offer me an app as an interim measure. Crap really.

TS4449 When i make call from iphone,loudspeaker is being enabled automatically and not able to hear any sound ..

When i make call from iphone,loudspeaker is being enabled automatically and not able to hear any sound ..
And some time it's worked...

OMG.....this very tiny hole located next to the headset jack........I suffered for the same issue around 20 days after purchasing my iPhone 4S. Even I visit the apple store too, they suggested to talk with apple online.....just before going to apple, i was reading "iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting" (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802) and at the very first line, i found "Make sure that nothing is blocking the top microphone (located next to the headset jack)." and this located next to the headset jack solved the problem completely for sound in vidio as well as sound with calling speaker phone.....Actually, I purchased a plastic cover (like screen protector type) that blocked this small hole (microphone hole i think) and the problem was because of this...I remember on the first day i talk with speacker phone (nothing on iPhone at that time) and it was working...
No need to restore or hard reset anything...i was fearing i'll lost everything if I hard reset my iPhone that took 5-10 to build my iPhone as I like apps, music, vidio on it....

When i make call from iphone,loudspeaker is being enabled automatically and not able to hear any sound ..So Please need Full Answer?

Wifi calling from BB Curve

I just bought the BB Curve, I have a wireless network in my home and @ my office, how can i use wifi calling from my phone, I have T-Mobile.
secondly, I am unable to connect my BB Curve to my laptop using Bluetooth, not accepting my PIN, do i need a pass key for my Laptop as well?
Thanks

I blieve you need to have a service called @Home and a router supplied by t-Mobile. As far as I know, all the BlackBerry models that t-Mobile has that have Wi-Fi support the service (generically called UMA).
Contact t-Mobile for specifics.

Wifi calls from a phone that is not mine

We have two iPhones at home. Everyone has its own phone number and iCloud account.
I set up "family sharing" when updated to iOs8. Now, when the other one gets a facetime call, I also receive that call even if I don't know who is calling!
Is it a sharing family "feature" or an issue?

i Have checked that and we have it differently. Now comes the weird part: my father came home today and he called via facetme to each phone and it worked perfect.
So I thought I might be getting crazy.
Later tonight we were on the subway going to eat dinner and the other phone got a facetime call and both our phones were called at the same time.
So it seems it only happens when she receives facetime calls from a specific number, the others work well!
I called Apple support and they told me to disable handoff in both phones as the final solution. But I want handoff to work. So not only they hsve no clue about what's happening but they are not going to investigate it. By the way, I have Applecare in both phones....
Any idea?

When is Wifi calling going to be available on Verizon Wireless?

Last I heard it was coming 'Mid-year 2015' - this announcement was made back in September 2014 - http://www.phonearena.com/news/Verizons-Shammo-Expect-Wi-Fi-calling-in-2015_id60880
Also, I find Fran Shammo's hand-waving of Wifi calling an very arrogant/weak argument - there are locations in buildings, in basements, that will never receive a cellular signal. Many people face this on a daily basis. Well maintained wifi is a reality in many business settings, and Verizon customers in these situations would benefit greatly from having wifi calling available.
When will Verizon customers have access to Wifi calling in 2015?

@sprmankalel - That's very different than the Wifi calling I'm describing here. Wifi calling allows you to use the number you own, and people who are receiving your calls/SMS messages see your usual number.

When is wifi calling coming out?

It's been months since wifi calling came out for iOS 8, but it still hasn't come to AT&T. )): iOS 9 is about to be released soon, but still no sign of it at all. By any chance it's coming soon, AT&T — or coming at all? It's been a long awaited feature and I am really excited about getting my hands on it. Continuity is a feature I heard on iOS 9 that allows you to take calls and texts through your Mac and iPad — which requires wifi calling enabled (through your cellular connection). I hope it's a feature for an AT&T iPhone, because I think it's very convenient.

Hey, Charise, What if someone calls me from my doctor's office, or a bank, or a polical organization? They don't use FaceTime. What AT&T customers want is to be treated with respect. Your front line CSR people are mostly very nice, but company policies like this suggest that at the highest level, you don't give a hoot about our end user experience, as long as we pay our bills. Get Mr de la Vega to host a town hall and see what customers really think and what our real problems are.

Wifi calling from Iceland

'm in the airport in Iceland. I've disabled data roaming and mobile data as I'm paranoid of getting a big bill. However wifi calling is working on the free airport wifi. I phoned 150 to ask if I will be charged for using it and the person I spoke to couldn't tell me. I'm now worried my call to 150 will rack up a big bill as the automated ee telephone system took ages to navigate to get through to someone. I have a galaxy s6.

It's all very well saying it doesn't work because ee says it does not, but I'm now in a Alaska at my in-laws with airplane/aeroplane mode on, mobile data off and roaming off and I am able to use wifi calling.
It does work abroad unless my phone is a weird exception. I'll do an ee chat thing today to see about cost.

How do I delete photos from my daughter's ipod that showed up on there when she got music from her aunt's itunes? Also how do I make sure none of my iphone pics show up on her ipod in the future (we use the same itunes account and I think same icloud).

I'm totally new to iphone/ipod. I need help with the following:
1) How do I get rid of a folder of photos that showed up on my daughter's ipod touch when she received some songs from her aunt's itunes? After she got some songs from that itunes a folder of pictures showed up with no delete option. Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?
2) Also, my daughter uses same itunes as myself, how do I make sure any pics I have on my iphone & icloud (itunes) don't show up on her ipod? I shut off my photostream so perhaps this is the solution. But I noticed that a message I sent from her ipod to my sister (an iphone user) later showed up on my iphone (as if I had sent it from my iphone)! That was really odd. I'd like to keep our itunes account together simply so I can monitor her downloads, etc so I don't want to open up her own itunes to avoid automatic syncing.
I only want to share music between our devices. I don't want her pics nor my pics to go to icloud/itunes.
Thank you!

1) You asked "Does she need to reconnect to that itunes/computer and if so what do we need to do to remove this folder of pics from her ipod?" Yes, you have to connect the iPod to that computer and go to the Photos pane for the iPod in iTunes and uncheck sync photos and the click on synce/apply. In the future do not check sync photos.
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
2)
Create a NEW account for using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before.
Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
Then on the iPod go to
- Settings>Messages>Send and receive and sign out your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that only her ID email address is listed.
- Settings>FaceTime sign out of your ID and sign into hers. Make sure that under You can be reached at only her ID email address is listed
- Settings>iCloud and sign out and sign in with hers
Contnue to use the commpn ID/account for Settings>iTunes and App stores.

My iCloud password is not recognized when I sign in. This password works for every other iTunes/Apple app as it should. My user name comes up when I open iCloud and I change it to my email address as my username then enter the password and it won't accept

All i want to do is sync my phone to iCloud.

Hello jwpg,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing after restoring an iCloud backup. I recommend the following articles for an issue like this:
iCloud: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password" alert when setting up iCloud after upgrading to iOS 7

Another name comes up when I plug in my iPod

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes software on this machine but whenever I plug in my iPod it comes up with the former computer user's name and an album that they must have downloaded into their library. I cannot get it to come up with my iPod name and libraries.

Restore the iPod
Rename your iPod.
Delete the music from the iTunes if needed.
Other than that, provide a bit more details: is this an iPod or iTunes issue?

"Save As" page comes up when I try printing from Firefox

When I use my Verizon DSL and Firefox (this doesn't happen if I use Int. Explorer) and I wish to print internet info, I do a Ctl. P to print. Instead of printing, I receive a "Save As" page that I cannot stop from appearing. The page includes: "Save As" at the top with a box for saving to (Ex.: documents), then has a listing across of "Name," "Date Modified," "Type," "Size," and "Tags" across the top. Then a listing of items such as Games, My Stationery, New Folder, Sansa, Updater. Then at the bottom there is a listing for "File Name" with a box for the name. Then under that a "save As Type" (PDF). Then a save or cancel button.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== About a month ago

I can not print anything from Firefox but on IE everything prints just fine. I happen to like Firefox a whole lot better so would appreciate a solution to my problem.
