Phone appears to be "owned" by husband, not me

Ya know where in iphone contacts is says "Me" by your name, because it is your phone? Well, a co-worker has an iphone 4; the company pays our phone bills so we never see them; however, her husband's contact in her phone says "me" - which means he "owns" the phone, correct? How did he do this without access to the account? And, what does it mean? Does he see all her work emails (that are sent to that address) and EVERYTHING?
THANKS!

millardbrent2,
Great question! The contact listed as me will depend on the information used when setting up the phone. Did your colleague use her husbands Apple ID information to set up her device? Even though their husband information shows up under the "Me" contact he does not have access into her emails or information. He would only have access to the information sent to her if he has access to her accounts.

Although my phone appears in my computer it does not appear in itunes, why?

although my phone appears in my computer it does not appear in itunes, why?

Here is the troubleshooter:

My email outgoing all appears with the wrong address, so it appears to be from my husband , not from me

When I send email to any one, I click on the the "from" box so it is from me.But when it is received it says it it from the other email address account on my computer, i.e from my husband

It may be that you have more than one outgoing mail account, and you're sending from the wrong one. From the Mail menu bar, select
          Mail ▹ Preferences...
The Mail preference dialog opens. Select the Composing tab from the row of icons at the top. From the menu labeled
          Send new messages from:
choose
          Account of selected mailbox
Note that this setting may have no effect if you start a new message while a VIP or smart mailbox is selected in the mailbox list. Those are saved searches, not actual mailboxes.
If the problem remains, select the Accounts tab in the preference dialog, then select the affected account in the list on the left.
In the Account Information pane, select the correct server in the menu labeled
          Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)
If there's only one server in the menu, select
          Edit SMTP Server List...
and add a new server with the correct settings. If you're not sure how to do that, try the Mail Settings Lookup.
Another possibility is that the wrong card in your address book is selected as yours. Select your card in the Contacts application. Then select
          Card ▹ Make This My Card
from the menu bar.

Just turning off Cloud will not prevent him from turning it back on.
Rignt now, if he uses the App store, iTunes thinks it's talking to me.

First, turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account, while your sim is still in the phone. Then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Give it to your grandson & he gat then set it up as he wants.
Important your turn iMessage & FaceTime off to disassociate the phone from your Apple ID. Apple "claims" to have fixed this with iOS 6.0, but until I can absolutely confirm such, I still recommend you turn all of that stuff off first.

Unplug your Iphone out of your computer and replug it back in. It took me several times before I could do this

Ever since my last update I have been unable to add songs from my i tunes library onto my i phone. The "add to" button does not appear for me when I connect my i phone. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

Thanks for that 'sberman' - because my iPhone is backed-up to my work computer (only at this stage) I have had to call our IT Department in Adleaide. (4 times this morning). The last guy managed to get the phone into 'DFU Mode' - no more recovery mode screen - (kind of 'asleep' perhaps) from my understanding of same. I am awaiting a call again from IT so they can get my computer to actually recognise my iPhone on the C Drive. This also happened to one of my colleagues in Newman (WA). She got so frustrated with the whole process that she bought another phone the next time she was in 'civilisation.' She hasn't had any problems since. (Cross fingers).
Thanks again, Sandra2474.

I am trying to send photos to the cloud from my phone to my iPad but they are not appearing in the stream. I have read the instructions and I think I am doing it right or am I missing a part of the process?

HI,
Have you done this before ? And if so, is photo stream turned on on your iphone and ipad. and as Alfred DeRose pointed out they must both on the same icloud account.
If you're new to this, you might want to do some research. Photo stream is different from camera roll and albums. Many have been on this sight looking for their photos stored in icloud after restore, etc. and they're not there. Also, after thirty days icloud deletes your photos from photo stream.
So if you're not aware, you might want to google your question. We're using the camera connection kit soon and I am learning about it. From all I've read, I'm also not the biggest icloud fan. I use dropbox. We plan to put photos taken on ipad with a camera/iphones into albums on the ipad. We'll keep all on the sd card until (and after) they can be uploaded to a computer.
An example of an article we can learn from -

Hope this helps.

I uploaded music in the match and when i want to play it in my phone, some of the tracks appear blocked (blanked) and a few not. When I'm connected through a wi fi spot, i can play all of the tracks. Help!

Hi,
You need a wifi connection to stream. Previously played tracks appear in a temporary cache which allows them to be played again when yOu have no wifi..
You can either predownload selected tracks or use cellular data.

My I phone has plenty of storage but will not download any apps free or paid for when I press install the installation symbol appears briefly and then the page reverts to the original form with the price or free on the right hand side.

Good luck.

I have lost my recent music downloads from my iphone. They appear on my playlist, but will not play. How do I get them back?

Hello Russell,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. The best way to get music back is to check out the articles that goes of downloading previous purchases.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
If they were not purchased through iTunes, then just sync through iTunes again.

Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own. I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me. Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?

Last night, I saw my iPhone on the table in front of me and twice it made phone calls on its own. I just watched it make the outgoing call as it sat in front of me. Should I think that it has a virus? What should I do about it?
Also, it's been a little quirky lately: slow to respond to key pad touching and making it impossible to delete Apps?
Should I try wiping it and restoring it to factory settings?
Thank you.
Ben

It isn't a virus.
I would try the Restore from backup first and if that does not help try a Restore as a new iPhone.
