Parents iphone and my iphone activated with same email, now parents gets my text messages from freinds?

Hi my parents iphone(4s) and my iphone(5c) were activated with the same email now when I get a text message(imessage) from a friend they also receive the message my friend sent, so how would I turn this off on their phone; because I dont want them to read what my friend is sending me?

Hi cloudhalo,
Based on your description that both phones are receiving each other's messages, you may need to make sure that the phone numbers aren't both linked to the same Apple ID, and/or adjust which addresses the phones are set to send and receive messages from. You may find the information outlined in the following article helpful:

    when I get a text message from my brother or sister who have IPhones there is no text but there is a "download" button.  If I tap the download button it beeps but there is no download. My galaxy note 4 uses verizon messages app.  how do I get these text messages?

    Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each.  Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
    Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments. 
    Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe.  Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

    Hi
    Error -49 opWrErr  File already open with write permission
    Trash the preference files while application is NOT Running.
    Easiest way to find out if this is the problem is by:
    • Create a new User-Account
    • Log out of Your old one and into this
    • Re-try iMovie
    If it now works OK - then 99.9% the problem is iMovie pref. file that needs to be trashed.
    from Karsten Schlüter
    Some users notice on exporting larger projects from within iMovie that this operation is aborted with an 'error -49'
    This issue occurs only on MacOs machines using 10.7x
    try switching-off the Local Mobile Backup
    in Terminal copy/paste
    sudo tmutil disablelocal

  • I loaded ios7.1 to my Ipad2 and my wife's cell phone came up.  I can't change it and now I get her text messages on my iphone4S and she is getting apps I download on her iphone 4S.  How do we fix it?

    I recently downloaded ios7.1 to my ipad and my wife's cell phone # appeared on my ipad.  It would not let us change it.  Now I am getting her text messages and she is getting the apps I load on her iphone4S.  We both have iphone 4S, but she has version 7.1 and I still have 6.0 because I didn't like the changes in v.7.0.  We share an Apple ID and password which was not a problem before.  My daughter says this is our problem, as she had her husband had this issue.  She doesn't know how he fixed it.  Has anyone else had this issue and can you tell us how to separate our Apple ID/passwords if this is, indeed, the problem?

    If you share an Apple ID, both of your phone numbers should be linked to that ID. You should be able to use your phone number as well. My wife, my daughter and I all share an Apple ID for purchases, and we each text from our iOS devices using our own iPhone numbers.
    When iOS 6 came out, you were able to link the phone number with your Apple ID to use for Messages and FaceTime. You will need to sign out of messages on all devices and then start the process all over again.
    Take a look at this.

  • I plugged my iphone 5 into my windows computer and it automatically restored my phone so all my photos and messages and apps were deleted. is there anyway i can get my text messages back??

    is there anyway to get my text messages back onto my iphone 5 after plugging it into my windows computer?

    Your title asks "How do I get my iPhone information back on my (iPhone)?
    You also said "I have yet to back it up."  Therefore, all your information that had been on your iPhone is now gone.
    Your iPhone has (and will continue to) been refreshed from iTunes.

  • HT201401 My iphone 4 is not ringing, or notifying me when i get a text message or email

    My iphone4 is not ringing, or notifying me when I get a text message or email. It does however vibrate, the alarm works, and I am able to play music. The button to swith vibrate on and off, seems to not be working. Also, the sound buttons. The up button does not work, but the down button does. I have restarted, restored, and changed the ring. Nothing seems to be working. Has anyone had this problem? If so, how did you go about getting it fixed?

    Did you accidentally move the slider button above the volume control to the "off" position (orange dot visible)? My husband used to do that all the time.

  • My iMessage is stuck on the wrong phone number and I keep getting coded text messages from SMS Info.

    I recently switched the sim card in my iPhone when I moved from one country to another. When I put my local sim card in iMessage would not activate (just staying on 'waiting for activation' forever). This has not been a problem before. When I went to send/receive I saw the phone number there is still on the old one from the country I left. This is not the case in phone settings when I look for 'my phone number' or in facetime, which recognise the new number.
    Plus I keep getting text messages from 'SMS Info'. They are just code, except that in there my new phone number is included among the code. The only other discernible characters are the letters 'REG-RESP?'. Perhaps this is something to do with an error in registering my new number.
    I have tried-
    1. Turning it off and on again.
    2. Turning iMessage off and on again. This results in the usual 'it may cost you to reactivate with an SMS' popup on my phone screen, then a popup saying there has been a mistake, then one of these coded SMS messages.
    3. Doing the above in combination with logging in and out of my apple id (as suggested on another forum post here)
    4. Removing the new sim card and replacing the old one. Then turning off iMessage, replacing the new sim card and turning iMessage back on (of course powering the phone down and up)
    None of these remedies have worked. The iMessage problem is affecting all sorts of my messages. Windows keep popping up saying that I may have to pay for an SMS to activate iMessage, except that it doesn't activate. The SMS messages from 'SMS Info' keep coming and I can't seem to get any of it to stop an just work normally.
    I have looked in these forums already and can't see the same problem elsewhere. If someone could figure this out I would be most grateful.

    Hi,
    When a Mac is "registered" for iMessages account with an Apple ID the Serial Number of the Mac is used to create an Auth Token as it is called for the Messages app that allows that Mac to work.
    I would guess a similar process of linking the Number of the iPhone to a Hardware fact about the device is also in place.
    I would contact Apple Support and check with them.  (you might need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level 1 people are script led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware categories where as sorting and Apple ID (which the Number is in this case) is normally Free).
    I did find this iOS: Troubleshooting Messages - Apple Support
    It starts off about sorting SMS that is not working.

  • My friend stopped receiving messages from my iphone. he used to get them all the time and suddenly he stopped stopped receiving them but receives all other  text messages from others. How do we fix that?

    A friend and I text almost all the time. He used to receive all of my messages and one day, he text me, I responded and he didn't receive it. He still doesn't receive my texts but can receive other texts from everyone else. He sees me texts when he is on his computer through google voice but doesn't see my messages on his phone. How can we fix this issue?

    Did he previously have an iPhone and now uses another type of phone?
    If yes, he needs to read this:
