Prompt for Apple ID of another iphone user appears when purchasing apps

When I try to purchase an app, the Apple ID that appears & the password asked for in the prompt is for my boyfriend's phone & not mine. We both have iphones (mine is a 4, his a 4s).

Sounds like you are logged into the AppStore under your boyfriend's ID. Log out,
and then log back in using your AppleID and password.

  • HT204380 help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & it would not work. "FaceTime failed". we are both on wi-fi networks & iTunes accounts are set up correctly.

    help. tried for first time to use FaceTime with another iPhone user & call refused to connect. Call would dial, allow us to accept call, then error message "FaceTime failed" would appear & call disconnect. we are both on wi-fi networks, both phones have updated software & both enabled FaceTime with iTunes logged in. don't know what else to do to get FaceTime to connect. Someone please help.

    Thanks Helen for the response. At least you can get some of the contacts to work. Absolutely none of mine will. Feel like my phone is cheating me out something it should do. Think I'm going to just have to dump all the Apple products in general because this phone hasn't worked right since I got it.

    Check this article: iOS: About Messages
    Additional Information
    You can change your iMessage Caller ID setting on iOS devices in Settings > Messages > Receive At > Caller ID. Note that the Caller ID setting is used only for new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change your Caller ID, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iMessage responses will be sent from the address the recipient most recently messaged. For example, on iPhone you can receive messages sent to your Apple ID and phone number. A friend sends you a message to your Apple ID. Responses in this conversation will be sent from your Apple ID, even if your Caller ID is set to your phone number.

  • TS2755 I am trying to send photos to another iPhone user, however, every time I try to send it I get a prompt telling me that iMessage has to be enabled.  I go into setting and iMessage is enabled but it will not send the photos in iMessage or otherwise.

    I have tried to send it to multiple people and keep getting the same response.

  • I have 2 new iPhone 4s. Messages from other iPhone users appear on both of my new phones. I want these seperate. How do I make these independent of one another?

    I bought my daughters new iPhones (4s) for Christmas.  They love them except that when another iPhone user text one daughter, the other daughter gets the messages and same for the other daughter's text.  How do I make these independent of one another without putting my family on separate ITunes accounts?

    When you were setting the phones up you should have been asked if you wanted to use the phone number or an email address for FaceTime/messaging. My guess is you used the same email for both phones. Just go in and change it. That or you have the same iCloud id on both phones, I'm not using the cloud so I can't help you there.

  • Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user get sent to my daughters iPhone as well. And I can text her but she cannot text me.

    What is going on??? Since I updated my iPhone 4s to iOS 6 all messages that are sent to my phone from another iPhone user also get sent to my daughters iPhone 4. And she can receive my text but cannot reply to me.

    Is this your issue >  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818
    If so...
    The Apple ID and Password that was Originally used to Activate the iDevice is required
    If you do not have that information you will not be able to use the Device.

  • HT6154 Why are my texts sending as a text message to another iphone user instead of an imessage?

    I just got my new iphone 5s. Well I have been sending text message to another iphone user and my text are going in as a text message instead of an imessage. The never happened with my iphone 4s.  Also I do not recieve some of my text message till almost an hour later.  This has nothing to do with where I am because I can be down the road from someone and I did not get their message until I got closer to her.  Me and my husband just got these new iphone 5s and we are both having the same problem.  Can someone help?  I don't want to return the phone but if I continue to have this problem I'll just keep my iphone 4s because I never ran into any problems like this prior.

    imessage will send as a SMS when it is unavailable either thru a weak wifi or cellular data signal.  OR the other side has imessage turuned off.

  • HT3529 Why when i send an imessage to another iphone user it sometimes sends as atxt message and the other person doesnt end up getting the message?

    Sometimes when i send an imessage to another iphone user it comes out as a txt message. I was just wandering why this happens and sometimes when it does the message is never sent to the person.

    You can have a separate AppleID only for iMessage and keep using the other one for iTunes.
    Just change the AppleID used for iMessage in Settings > Messages > Receive At

  • My iPhone 4 sending a iMessage to another iPhone user, the message will send then says not delieverd? So I have to send it as a normal text message .

    Hey! So I'm having a problem with sending an IMessage to another iPhone user and they are having the same problem. The problem is; is that I send a message to them it will attempt to send then will say under the message that it was not delivered? So I send it as a normal text message. Weird part is that we both have full service and have the phone bills paid. Lol

    There is an earlier thread that was answered by an Apple employee that states they are seeing the iMessage and Facetime servers are down. It is unknown when they will return, however it generally is not an extended period of time.

  • Why does my email address display when I send a txt message to another iPhone user?

    When I txt MSG another iPhone user, my email address displays on their screen as sender's name.  Is this because I have my email address set as my apple ID?  Can I change my Apple ID name to stop this?

    Go to Settings > Messages > Receive At > Apple ID.
    Sign out of your Apple ID followed by signing back in with your cell phone number selected as your iMessage Caller ID.

  • Iphone 5C will not sent iMessage to another Iphone user who has not installed ios7

    I have found that if I am trying to send an imessage to another Iphone user who has not upgraded to ios7, the messages will appear in my history as "sending". I deleted that contact history and tried to send another text and it worked as it was sending as a "green message" rather than a "blue message".  Is there a way to work around this?

    Thanks for the answer.  Disabling iMessage does work, but it's a bit clunky to have to do that every time I want to message him.  Many of my other contacts have iPhones and I like the iMessage feature.
    He's had the same number for years and I only recently have had this issue, he doesn't have iMessage on any device, he only has an iPod nano.  I wonder what happened that all of a sudden it has defaulted to iMessage for him.
    Any other ideas?

  • My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve .....

    My AppStore id is my apple id n password which is good when purchasing. But when I am updating from update option it ask for a password. The user id I see there is not mine, it's different. How do I change that to my apple Id? Please help me resolve  this issue. I have tried resetting it but nothing... Either I'm doing something wrong or....

    I believe the issue is with the Apple ID that was used to purchase the App. If you download an App that was purchased under a different Appple ID then all updates will also be linked to the original purchaser's Apple ID. Your Apple ID is the the same ID as your iTunes, iCloud, etc. Some folks use different ID for the different Apple sites. No need for that One ID for all Apple Sites, and if someone else buys an App using their ID and they(you) download that App onto your device and that App requires an update it will ask for the purchasers Apple ID. This happens a lot when folks sell their iPad or give it to someone else and leave some purchased(free) Apps on the iOS device. You cannot change the original ID the App was purchased under. A suggestion would be if someone else has an App that you like but do not want to pay for use their ID or in the future have them gift the App to you.
