Other family members texts coming to my phone

Our family upgraded to three iphone 4's today.  My daughter went online and registered her phone and was messing with icloud and a merge feature/function. When she plugged her dad's new phone into the same computer it began syncing and now every text she gets on her phone now lands on her dad's phone too.  I'm scared to plug my new phone in now for fear I will end up with the same issue.  What do I need to do/change so that he's no longer copied on everything she does through her phone?  Thanks!

Hi, I had this issue too. Go to the settings icon and scroll down to the "messages" icon and open it. Then go to "Send & Receive" section. Under this section there are check marks next to the phone numbers and emails that are receiving your text. Just uncheck all except for your phone number. I hope this helps.

  • TS4006 Can I use find my phone to find other family members devices if they have separate Apple ID

    Can I use my find my phone on my iphone or iPad to find other family members I phones if they have their own apple id's etc?

    If they have Settings > iCloud > Find My iPhone enabled on their phones and you know the id that it's linked to and the account's password then you can use the Find My iPhone app on another device to try and locate them.

  • How to remove other family members photo albums that automatically downloaded to my iphone and are taking up storage on my phone

  • I have been sharing an apple ID and icloud with other family members. How do I change my iphone so as to create my own account?

    I have been sharing I-cloud with other family members. How do I change my i-cloud setting on my i-phone so as to creare my own account?

    If you want to keep your iCloud data, you would need to migrate your device and a copy of the data to a new account.  To migrate to a new account, start by saving any photo stream photos you wish to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account (which only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; others keeping the account will not be effected by this), choose Keep on My iDevice and provide the password to turn off Find My iPhone.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on your own account, you can go to icloud.com and manually delete any data you don't want in your account without effecting anyone else.

  • HT1476 My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones. I'm stumped :/

    My iPhone 4S will charge on a laptop but not from a wall plug. I have tried different boxes and different USB cords from the wall but none work. These boxes and USB cords work for other family members with iPhones and a USB cord that works from the laptop won't work from 3 or 4 different wall boxes that work for others. I'm stumped :/

    Update: It seems as though the phone will charge if I plug it in and then turn it off.  It will not charge while the phone is on.  Also iTunes will not recognize it, so I can't sync or anything.  I read somewhere that it could be a fuse somewhere?? Or maybe the dock connector. Where is the best place to get this repaired?

  • Problems with iPhone messaging - received messages showing as sent messages and messages sent to one family member gets received by other family members.

    AT&T family plan - 4 iPhones in use by family members (4s, 4g, and two 3g's).  Weird things happen when we text message:
    1.   Sometimes, received messages look like they are sent messages - and no alert is sounded.   The conversation looks like you are talking to yourself.   Sometimes it happens to both parties in a text conversation, sometimes it only happens to one party.   Deleting the message entirely and starting over from scratch sometimes fixes the problems and sometimes doesn't fix the problem.  Once this phenomenon starts in a conversation it is almost impossible to get it to stop.  
    2.     Sometimes text messages to a specific family member get replicated to other family members as if in a group conversation - but group is turned off.   This happens sporadically but it happens.   Quite embarassing when husband and wife are sending private messages then suddenly the kids see the message on their iPhones!   Can't figure out why this happens or what makes it happen, but happens a lot!!!
    Has anyone had these problems or knows how to fix them?

    Be specific.
    Everyone?  or Every Device?
    If every device, does that mean you can no longer share apps?

    Don't do that. iMessage is designed to sync messages between all devices configured with the same Apple ID.
    Everyone should have their own Apple ID. They were never designed to be shared.

  • Family sharing not showing other family members' purchases

    I installed Family Sharing about a week ago.  It worked great, and everyone was able to download music (didn't try apps). Now not listing any family members under Purchased in iTunes (whether on Mac or iOS).  Same for other family members.   In app store, I see other family members listed, but, if I click on it, it says they have no purchases (clearly not true).  Tried all hints at If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support with no luck.  Also, fully disabled family sharing and then re-invited everyone, but still no luck.  Any idea how to correct this issue?

    I have the same issue. I can see my wife's purchases but on her phone, it says that I have no purchases. I also tried If you don't see your family's shared content - Apple Support and disabling family sharing and re-inviting her. I would also like to know how to fix this.

    Change the password for your AppleID you used to set up iMessaging, and do not tell them the password.  Tell them to get their own AppleIDs for use with their own iMessage accounts.

    You can seach the net for solutions like this one http://appletvvpn.com/how-to-connect-apple-tv-2-to-vpn/ another idea is to use a PC as the control and fit that with a wireless card and set up a ad hoc wireless network that the Apple TV uses. 

  • Can family members added as part of the Family Share feature of iOS 8 really erase other family members devices with the Find My iPhone feature?

    I initiated a Chat session with Apple Support to see if this was really possible.  The answer I got was that it DID seem possible at this time.  If this is true, then Apple may want to look at giving the sharing device the option to disallow other family members from erasing that device remotely (or playing sound, entering lost mode).
    I would be comfortable allowing my wife to lock my iphone or erase it remotely if needed, but I would not want any of my kids to have that ability.
    Can somebody else confirm this could be done?

    Good day,

    Just tested this.  You have to enter the Apple ID Password for the device you are trying to remote erase.  You CAN put the device in lost mode without the password, but you cannot initiate a remote wipe without the password for the device.

  • Can other family members download app I bought?

    Is it possible (and legal) for other family members to download an app I bought? For example, can I log in on their computer with my apple id and download the app without messing anything up?

    When I am home, calls to my iPhone 5 also go to my other family members' iPhones.  How  can I get this to stop happening?

    Or better yet, create and use new Apple IDs for others in your household. You could always use different Apple IDs for iCloud services (like iMessage and FaceTime) and iTunes and App Store., but it's even easier to share purchased content now with Family Sharing.

  • My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why?

    My Apple TV can control all the apple devices in my home including my other family members devices why? I have home sharing on so my MacBook pro, iPad, and iPhone can be put on my tv. How do I only contol my devices?

    Lots of questions but essentially you want to try three steps:
    Reset the power on the device
    - issue continue?
    Reset all settings from: Settings > General > Reset all settings > Reset All Settings
    - issue continue?
    Restore the devices software: Settings > General > Restore > Retore
    - issue continue?
    You likely have a hardware issue. Visit an Apple Retail Store

  • I turned off home sharing but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. How do I fix that?f

    It says it's off but I'm still getting my other family members' stuff. Some of my family members think that it has something to do with the cloud.

    Your other family member photos or music? If it is photos, you can check out this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4379
    If it is music, check this out: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2972
    Home sharing refers specifically to sharing your own iTunes (music) library over your network.
