My wife and I both have iPhones recently when someone calls her phone mine also rings. How do I stop this?
Both my wife and I have IPhones (5C and 4S). For some reason for the last several months when someone calls one of our phones it rings on both phones. It seems to have started with the OS updates but that may be a coincidence. Is there a way to stop this?

So if I turn off IPhone Cellular calls this will eliminate the problem? As I read it the double ringing only occurs when we are signed in and the phones are close and connected to WIFi.
Correct, I wouldn't lead you astray with a false response. It happens because you and your wife are using the same Apple id for facetime - which you shouldn't do, either you or her will need a separate id for facetime.

My wife and I both have iPhones and iPads. Can we both have access to the same iTunes Match library or do we have to have separate subscriptions? Our devices are synced to the same computer and we currently download titles from the same library. We both use separate apple id's on our devices.
You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
You can restore from a backup if you have one from BEFORE you set the restrictions passcode.

My wife and I both have iPhone 5s, I can't send text messages to non iPhone people that I use to but iPhone people I can, My wife can send text to non iPhone numbers. I have checked and we both have the same settings. Both of our phones are up to date 7.0.4.

My wife and I both have iPhones, we just got a new iPad air. Can we set it up for both of us or should we give it it's own setup separate from our phones?
It's a trust issue. You can set them up so you don't receive each other's messages as long as you each have your own email address.
The trust issue is the fact that either of you can change the separation at any time via Settings by checking the appropriate (inappropriate?) email address.
To be absolutely sure you can never receive each other's messages will require two Apple IDs. -
My wife and I both have iphone 4, While messaging, the message is posted on both phones, when only 1 was chosen. Today I received a message from a buddy and my wife also received the message. Any thoughts. I have reset my settings.
On your wifes phone go to settings - message - send&receive - remove or uncheck the apple id.
This occurs when two people share the same id. -
My mom and I both have iphone5 but when I send her messages they aren't blue but any other iphone I text is blue I need help to get that fixed
Both of you need to have iMessage activated, and both have to have active Internet connection for iMessage. Are you both using the same Apple ID? Are you using the phone number or Apple ID for messages?

My wife and I have iPhone 5. She has iPad ver 3, I have iPad ver 1. I set up iTunes on my PC w my iPad and iPhone and ICloud backup. I tried to backup my wife's iphone to the iCloud by hooking up to my PC. I checked the new iPhone box but it sync'd the phone to my accoount. How do I set up her iCloud account to backup her phone then sync w her iPad?
iTunes on your computer has nothing to do with an iCloud backup. If you wife's phone is backing up to your iCloud account it's because you are sharing the same account. Migrating her phone to a separate iCloud account will fix this.
If you want to mirate her iPad to a separate account, start by saving any photo stream photos that she wishes to keep on your iPad to her camera roll by opening the my photo stream album, tap Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account her iPad, not from iCloud. your devices will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPad. Then sign back in with a separate Apple ID to create her new account and choose Merge to upload the data to her account. Note: you can continue to share the same ID for iTunes, it does not need to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. -
My wife and I only have one computer but we each have iPhone 4 everytime either of us update our phones it gives me her apps and visa versa we do make sure we sign in our iTunes account first is anything can do to prevent that from occuring
Also, make sure you have "Home Saring: on your computer's iTunes and all devices turned off.

However when I looked at hers there was no calender invite button ....

Two weeks ago both my wifes iPhone 4 and my iPhone 4 facetime stopped working. Others people with iPads have tried to connect with us using facetime and it all stopped. It trys to connect but then immediately disconnects. No changes to our internal wi-fi. I have checked the facetime settings and even reset my iPhone with no luck. My wife and I can not facetime when we are in the same room. All this worked for years before these last two weeks.

I want to keep the same apple Id, but I don't want our contacts synchronising every thing in my contacts and calendars. Please help?
This will happen if you have iCloud enabled. So you can either
1. Turn off icloud on one of the devices by Settings > iCloud & turning it off
2. Create a new apple id for either one of you.

I recently purchased a MacBook Pro and whenever my phone is close enought to my computer to wirelessly sync, it takes all my new songs I just added within the last week off my iPhone and I have to connect it with the cord and sync it to get it all back. Why does it do this? I'm getting very annoyed at having to do this multiple times a day just to keep the new stuff I added on my phone..

My employer and I both have iPhone 5. We both recently updated as recommended. Now we can no longer text each other. I can text and receive from other iPhone users. Any ideas??
Well, that didn't work since I am already using my appleID for both FaceTime and iMessage but i did see the option to send as SMS when iMessage not available. so I am now able to send to him but I don't know if he can send to me. It's a start. It is only with his phone. His wife has a Galaxy and they are both on AT&T and she can send and receive. I am on sprint. If that info helps
