Shared Apple id, Daughters text messages appear on my phone too.
My Daughter and I share an Apple id and her text messages are appearing on my iPhone. On one hand this is not neccessarliy a bad thing. If I delete these messages on my phone that are actually hers, does that also delete them off of hers, too?
Hello dariusandreou,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re about to purchase an iPhone and are a bit concerned about transferring your data from your old device to to the new device. Take a look at the article linked below, it should address your concerns and walk you through the process of transferring content to your new iPhone.

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.

How do i monitor my daughters text messages?
how do i monitor my daughter's text messages from my i phone?
While that might have seemed to be a rather flip reply, it's in essence the only answer anyone can give. There's no way to monitor SMS or MMS messages your daughter sends from her own iPhone. Only the cell carrier could do that (if the carrier does record the actual content of the message) and I doubt any carrier would give you a log without a court order. You may be able to see how many messages she's sending and the phone number to which the message was sent on your phone bill, but that depends on the carrier.
For messages sent via iMessage, you could sign into Messages using her Apple ID and password. You'd then see all the messages she sends and receives via that service.

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... -
I downloaded the new iOS 6 for my iphone 4. I have 2 iphones on my account and after the "upgrade" text messages go to both phones. When I send a text to my wife I recieve the same text and vise versa. How can I fix this?
"Sounds like you guys are using the same apple id for imessage. You will need to create a separate id for you wife. OR go to settings - message - receive&send and make sure your phone number is the default for both you and yoru wife.

Text messages come up as phone numbers instead of names - even though they're in my contacts.
i updated my 4S from iOS 5 to iOS 5.0.1 and all of my contacts transferred, but now all of my text messages come up as phone numbers instead of names - even though they're in my contacts.
Hi,
I take it these are iMessages contacts ?
Are you using iCloud to Sync your Contacts apps info ?
In Messages > Preferences > Accounts > Details Button (You will need to sign in again) do you have the correct Country/Region set ?
This can effect the adding of the correct Country Code prefix to your own number and distort the coming form the Contacts app if the number there don't include a Country Code.

Displaying a text messages on 7940 / 7960 phones
Are there any inherent capabilities in ccm4.2 or unity which might be capable of displaying a text message to 7940/7960 phones; or even forcing a recording to playout ?
appreciate there are plenty of commercial packs do this. (& probably for good reason...) .tksI'm sure you could develop an XML application to do this if you have programmers available to you. Otherwise, I normally use Berbee Informacast which does what you are asking for as well as zone paging through the phone or through external speakers.

Phone died. How do I retrieve text messages that were on phone?
Phone died. How do I retrieve text messages that were on phone.
Unfortunately, unless you had them backed up and stored elsewhere (like on the SD card or your computer), they most likely aren't retrievable.
Are you sure the phone is completely dead? Have you tried holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for 15-20 seconds to see if that will reboot the phone?
Maybe you are looking for
