Same text messages appearing on multiple devices
i have an ipod(couple of them) that are my kids and an ipad and the new iphone. when text messages are going in or out they seem so show up on all devices. is there a way to fix that or do i need to get seperate accounts for the iphone.
SOME BODY PLEASE HELP ME!
I'm very desperate, my mom is getting my text messages on her cell phone and i can go on her phone and uncheck my number but she can always go back and check my phone number back and start reciving my messages again. How do I prevent her from doing that/get my number off of there so she cant get my texts on her iphone anymore? I've called at&t and apple AND gone into the at&t store and even created a new apple id but she still gets them. Someone help me PLEASE.
P.S. I am 22 years old so you can imagine my frustration...

Why do text messages appear on multiple apple products
We have an iPad, an iPad mini, and iPhone. When I text my husband the text message appears on the iPad. When my daughter texts with her iPad mini it shows up on my iPhone. Help!
Use a different email address (free gmail.com?) for each individual device.

HT3529 Is it possible to send a the same text message to multiple recipients?
wanting to send the same text message to multiple contacts at the same time? is this possible
Are you talking about in the contact window? Because when I select a contact in there the contact window appears and the plus sign in the top right is replaced with the edit button?

Hi
I keep on receiving the same text message multiple times and at around the same time each night. Any idea how I can stop this happening? The text messages are originating from to separate Saudi Arabian mobile numbers. Both these people are listed in my contacts so do you think if I delete their names it might stop the texts coming htrough each night?
CheersDeleting the people from your contacts will not stop the messages. Have you tried talking to the people and finding out if they're sending you messages? You could try contacting your carrier and finding out what blocking services they offer. However, theat would block all messages from those people.

IPhone keeps sending the same text message multiple times in a row.
My iphone (4s) keeps sending people the same text message multiple times (2-4) a few seconds inbetween. Sometimes it will tell me that there the message failed, but they still recieve it multiple times. I've already tried deleting the message tread and reset network settings. Nobody who has an iphone has said anything to me about it yet, only people with android.
It's a carrier issue. I have AT&T and had this issue with my friend (who had an Android) and my mother (who had a feature phone). Both of them have Verizon for service and I'm thinking the issue was on Verizon's end. They both just dealt with it as we tried all sorts of things to get this sorted out (other than contacting Verizon directly) and had no luck.
They've both switched to iPhones so it's a moot point for us now, at least.

Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.Hi julian KAYE!
You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
iOS: Using Messages
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.

While downloading an album in from the Store, one song was interrupted. I have followed the instructions from apple about resuming the download, but every time I do so the same error message appears saying the download was interrupted. I am having no connection problems, have rebooted my computer, downloaded the lates version of iTunes, etc., yet nothing changes. Has anyone else experienced this, and are there any workarounds. Sadly the problem hit on one of the best songs of the album.
I had the same problem so (assuming under the Purchased items in the Store you have a song stuck at 'Downloading'):
I went to Music, then Artists.
From there I chose the album.
The song that failed to download had the cloud symbol next to it.
I clicked the cloud symbol and the song completed the download for me.
(Please note this was in iTunes for Windows - I expect it to be similar in iTunes for Apple)

HT3529 Text messages appear as phone numbers
Text messages appear as phone numbers rather than as names
I have noticed that if you go to the edit button, and if you haven't deleted any of the texts from that number.>tick Edit> tick on one of the texts circles> Delete it> Scroll up to top of all texts, and a Add Contact will appear//Create New or Add to Existing.
Hope that's what you need. -
Hi there
I've been trying to log into my facetime, i put in my apple ID and passward but once i click "sign in" the following message appears "the registering device does not have appropriate credentials".
I have installed all my software updates, made sure my apple ID email is verified, have made sure my date/time/time zone is correct as suggested in other posts but this hasn't worked. I've also tried to delete and re-install facetime but this hasn't worked either.
Please advise me on what i need to do

Since I downloaded iOS 7, my texts are appearing on my device and another device. How do I shut that off?
make sure you're not signed into icloud on both devices - this is usually the cause of this issue

I Keep Receiving The Same Text Messages Multiple Times
Every single time someone texts me, it doesn't matter who, I will receive the same message from them multiple times. At first I thought it was just them resending their message but I asked and they said no. After a few days it started happening with all my contacts that I text. Sometimes it's every other text message and sometimes it only happens a couple of times but it's extremely annoying. It got so bad that I had to bump up my plan to Unlimited Messaging just so that I wouldn't go over my limit because I think that it's counting the multiple messages! Also, I've tried updating my phone and that didn't work.
Does anyone have any tips or solutions to this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks.Hi cbf10,
I am sorry to learn of the erratic duplicate messages you are receiving from several contacts. Let's narrow the potential issues that may be causing this behavior. Are you using a 3rd party application to send/receive text messages (i.e. Handcent, Go SMS, etc...)? Have you altered the operating system software in any way? What is your software version, baseband, kernel and built number?
Clearing messaging data/cache as applicable may resolve the issue: Menu>Settings>Applications>ManageApplications>All>Messaging>Clear Data/Cache. Try it and keep us posted.

I recently purchased two touches for use by two children. I used my itunes account and named each device seperatly. I cannot figure out why when I text one device, the message appears on both. Also, the address book is also synching in the cloud and is the same on both devices. Do I need to use different itunes accounts or is there a setting I missed that makes them seperate, likea phone would be?
Thank you. So I need to use seperate Itunes accounts for each device? If I plug in the device to a different Itune account, will it let me overright the touch? I was hoping to share applications. I was able to only put the applications from my account on each specific touch (I have a iphone 4g). So, if I want to text and facetime without it coming up on both touches at the same time, then I will need to synch with a unique Itunes acocunt then?
