Others sharing my Apple ID contacts show up when I create a new message even though contacts is turned off in iCloud.

I have several phones who share the same Apple ID. None have contacts turned on in the Settings>iCloud area, so no one is backing up contacts in the Cloud. When any of us go to create a new text message and start typing in a name, all contacts for all phones show up, not just the contacts for the phone in use. Some names show up in green, some blue, and others grey. If we go into our contacts folder, only the contacts for the phone in use show up. This started once we upgraded to iOS 7.
Is there any way to make this stop?

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

When I create a text message from my contact on my iphone 5, the contacts mobile number appears and not there name. But when they respond to my text, is shows up as a new text message with there name. How do I fix this?

Double click the home button and swipe up the messages app to stop it, then open the app again. This pretty much completely stops the process and freshly opens it again, resolving problems at times. I have had this happen before as well on my iPad, I get a banner, check messages, and nothing new is there.
If that doesn't work, close the app like suggested above, but then restart the phone by holding down the home and lock button for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears.

TS3276 When I create a new message, my icons to send and attach don't show in that message. They do when I reply to a message. How can I get them to show up again?

From the message window itself, there's no way to send mail - no send arrow - and there's no paper clip icon to attach a doc. I can do it from the menu bar, but not in the message window. What's up?

Hey Scrosiar,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like the toolbar for your compose window has either been hidden, or these icons have been removed. To resolve your issue, follow these steps:
Mail (Mavericks): Customize Mail toolbars
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH14908
Choose which items to include in the toolbars, and how they appear and are arranged.
1. Display the Mail window whose toolbar you want to change.
2. Control-click the toolbar, then choose Customize Toolbar.
3. Drag items to and from the toolbar, and change how they appear in the toolbar.
          - When you drag an item to the toolbar, a green icon indicates you’re adding it.
          - When you drag an item from the toolbar, visual and sound effects indicate it has been removed.
          - To rearrange items, drag an item to a new location in the toolbar.
          - To change how items appear, choose an option from the Show pop-up menu.
4. When you’re ready, click Done.
When you resize a window, toolbar items can become hidden as the window narrows. When this happens, click the double right arrows to display a list of the hidden items.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Help! how do I delete contacts that are not on my contact list? when I start a new message you can still get the number when you tap in the name?

how do I delete contacts? help! contacts are deleted off my
contacts. but when I go to messages and press in the name the contact
still appears under other..... can I delete these?

That is saved in cache memory on the phone and that memory is about 2MB in size and is eventually overwritten with use. The only sure way to get rid of it is to restore as new and not from a backup and you will lose data. I suggest you just ignore

RAW files from my Canon 7D Mark II camera do not show thumbnails when stored on my iMac computer even though I have Photoshop CC 14.2 and Camera RAW 8.7

How do i resolve this problem? TIFF files show the thumbnails just fine, just not the RAW files. My old Canon 7D was fine with RAW files showing thumbnails also.

Which version of mac os x are you using?
They show here in photoshop 14.2.1 in the open dialog as well as in finder on mac os x 10.10
I believe the operating system provides the thumbnails and not photoshop.

Why if I have created a seperate icloud account for my daughter and I, do I still end up with all her contacts? Also, numbers i have edited or changed?deleted pop up when searching by name to create a new message, WHY?

Help! I have created seperate icloud accounts for my kids devices and mine. My daughters contacts and mine keep merging anyways. If I turn contacts off and then back on on my phone in icloud, I get duplicates. Now I have triplicates!! I've double chcked that we are both logged in to our own accounts. How do I stop this, its gonna be a lot of editing out duplicate/triplicate contacts in my list. NOT HAPPY!! Another problem....When I go to create a new message and search by name, all numbers, including those I have changed because the person got a new number, will show up. Why is that happenning if I have deleted or changed them? I end up not knowing what number to use. It's extremely frustrating!!

When you turn contacts to off in Settings>iCloud, you should be choosing Delete from My iPhone when prompted, as they will be synced back to your phone when your turn contacts back to on. If you are choosing Keep on My iPhone, turning contacts back to on in Settings>iCloud, then choosing Merge when prompted, you are merging a second (or third) copy of your contacts with your account each time you do.
The autocomplete suggestions you get when you create a new message, compose a text message, or perform a spotlight search, are stored in cache memory. Once in cache memory, it remains on the device even if the corresponding contact is later deleted. Unfortunately, at the present time, the only way to flush this cashe is to restore your device as a new iPhone without using your backup. Perhaps this will change in a future iOS release.

I've deleted some contacts, but when I create a new text it will still suggest the deleted contact. I want that to stop.

I've deleted some contacts but when I create a new message it still suggests the deleted contact. How do I permanently delete that information?

Restoring should not be the only solution !
Apple should work on fixing this issue.
The option is available when u email,
A blue arrow appears and when u click it,
It asks if u want to remove it permanently
So i think the phone # after u send a sms/text
Should be able to be deleted at will.
Apple team get to work ! Lol
Thnks

The old Apple ID (presumably your dads) owns those songs and your new Apple ID does not. However, your dad can authorize your iD to use the songs by going to Store > Authorize This Computer from your iTunes menu and entering his Apple ID and password.

Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

Paypal for Family Sharing - Why can't I use PayPal with Family Sharing? Have a US Visa card but a foreign address, and Apple does not seem to be able to cope with that (even though it is a multinational corporation). So I set up payment with Paypal, and it worked fine. Now I want to take advantage of Family Sharing, but Apple won't allow it. Could we lean on Apple to change this policy?

If you are not in the US then you cannot use the US store, the store's terms say that you have to be in a country to use it - if you are using the US store then you are risking having your account disabled.

You should be able to call the iPad using your Apple ID from the iPhone. When calling from iPad use the iPhone's phone number to initiate the call.

Hi skydivingsnowman,
I'm sorry you're having such trouble using the ExportPDF service. What browser are you using?
